My Magic Age

The sound of horse hooves came from the long street in the distance like drumbeats.

The cavalry of the Knights of the Qiyan City Guard Battalion finally rushed out of the guard post, as slow as ever.

The knights rode on shiny Gubolai horses, wearing standard light armor, and quickly came to the Champs-Elysées, surrounded the manor of the Angus Utas brothers, and lined up 500 knights in a row. They held five-meter-long knight lances in their hands, with sharp spear tips pointing at the manor wall, and they held knight shields in their other hands, standing in the street in an orderly manner.

The manor was shrouded in a thick layer of white fog. The white frost on the bluestone slabs in the fog had spread to the street, and the cold breath made it feel like winter here.

The knights did not rush into the fog rashly. Several knight commanders in silver armor stood in the front. They looked at the manor gate that appeared and disappeared in the rolling fog and discussed countermeasures, but it seemed that they did not want to take the risk of rushing into the manor covered by fog.

The two knights, holding shields in their hands, rode their war horses slowly towards the main gate of the manor. When the war horses stepped on the ground covered with frost and snow, they were unwilling to move forward. They stopped in place, and their hooves kept kicking the stone floor, making a crisp sound of "tap tap tap".

At this time, a series of explosions came out of the manor, followed by a roar of a huge building overturning. The cold wave in the manor came in waves like waves. The two Gubolai horses seemed a little uneasy. They tried to retreat continuously. Even if the knights on the saddle pulled the reins tightly and calmed the two war horses down, the two war horses were unwilling to get close to the cold fog anyway.

The knight commanders gathered together again and discussed again. They simply let the two knights who were close to the thick fog shout to the manor:

"Listen, people inside, you have been surrounded by the Knights of the Qiyan City Guard Battalion. I ask you to put down your weapons and don't resist fearlessly..."

...

The ice wall in the manor has completely collapsed.

The yard was filled with the bodies of guards and lizard slaves, and the blood coagulated into dark red marks on the ground.

We killed most of the slave traders who dared to resist, and some of the manor guards chose to surrender.

They were forced to drop their weapons, take off their leather armor, and gather in an open space next to the pool.

According to Justus's idea, these slave traders should be killed to prevent future troubles.

But Ying Li believed that as a noble of the Green Empire, he should not kill unarmed people. These manor guards should be sent to the judgment of Qiyan City for conviction, and only if they were found guilty could they accept the verdict.

There were some lizard slaves in the slave fence of the outer courtyard who neither resisted nor escaped. They were probably huddled together tightly because of the cold, and they were anxiously watching the situation outside.

All the forces that dared to resist in the inner courtyard were eliminated. Only some women, children and maids were left in the manor. They hid in the house and trembled. Some children had hatred in their eyes and wanted to rush out of the house to be a warrior, but they were held tightly in the arms of the women and hid in the most inconspicuous room.

Since Angus and Yutas were captured by us, I decided to stop this revenge. Next, the Archon of Qiyan City, No, will be in charge of the manor. The frost rune boards laid outside the manor were also taken back.

The barbarian slaves carried some loot from the manor and returned to Xinliu Valley through the portal. In addition to looting all the food stored in the manor cellar, some barbarian slaves even carried the potted tropical green plants in the garden, including the pots and the banana trees more than five meters high, back to Xinliu Valley.

Annie looked at these barbarian slaves with a puzzled look on her face. They were wearing Nakma black iron armor, carrying heavy crossbows on their backs, and hanging exquisite moon blade axes on their waists. She couldn't understand what was in the minds of these barbarian slaves. Grass seeds and manure were possible, but the least likely thing was brains.

They treated precious oil paintings, gold and silver utensils, sophisticated weapons and equipment, and young and beautiful women as nothing. Instead, they started to rob the food in the cellar. Those who couldn't grab food would not even let go of the banana trees...

"Why do you think they want to move these banana trees?" Anne couldn't control her curiosity and asked Sister Su beside her.

"How would I know..." Su was still angry with Annie at this time, unwilling to talk to her sister, and there was a hint of anger in her tone.

The barbarian slaves originally wanted to take the bodies of the lizard war slaves and the manor guards back to the underground caves of Xinliu Valley to eat, but this was strictly prohibited by Justus and the tauren Luka, so they changed their target and looted everything edible in the manor of the Angus Utas brothers. Fortunately, there was a row of stables behind the manor, and the food in the cellar was also very rich.

The manor shrouded in thick fog became quiet as the barbarian slaves quickly evacuated.

...

Ying Li and I stood on the arrow tower. The majestic guard camp knights on the street were blocked outside the fog and never dared to break into the thick fog.

Several magic signal flares appeared in the night sky, which meant that the law enforcement group of the Qiyan City Magic Union was coming quickly.

The magicians' mobility was more convenient in the city. They could fly at will on the magic broom.

However, at night, if you don't want to hit the spire or roof, or hang on a tree or lamp pole, the leader will basically light these cheap magic flares to clear the way when flying. These flares can play the role of lighting in complex environments.

Ying Li exhaled lightly and whispered to me: "It seems that the law enforcement team of the Magic Guild has been dispatched this time. Let's go!"

As the "Frost" rune plate was fully recovered, the thick fog around the manor quickly dissipated.

Justus, Katarina, and the minotaur Luka walked up to the arrow tower one after another. Justus nodded to me and said, "Everything below has been handled."

"Well, let's leave the city!"

I stood on the arrow tower and tore open a "directional teleportation scroll".

The portal slowly opened, and countless arcs turned the space crack into the shape of a door. When the arcs stabilized a little, the portal just stabilized a little, and Katarina took the lead to walk into the portal.

Erica stood at the portal with a complicated expression.

She hesitated for a moment and asked me, "Are you a member of the Astrologer's Union?"

"Uh, no, I joined the Inscriptionist's Union. Senior Dylan taught me how to make the 'directional teleportation scroll'." I smiled faintly and said to Senior Erica.

Watching Su pull and Annie walk into the portal and disappear, Senior Erica hesitated for a moment and took a step into the portal.

The ice fog outside gradually dissipated, and the outline of the manor gradually emerged.

I walked into the portal, and at the moment I stepped into the portal, a feeling of being monitored surged from the bottom of my heart, but my vision suddenly darkened, and my vision recovered in an instant. I was already standing in the dense forest outside the city. I waited outside the portal for a few seconds to reduce the lightning power sent to the portal. The portal became a little unstable and was about to collapse at any time.

Just when everyone thought I would put away the portal, I turned around and went into the portal again and returned the same way.

Just as I got out of the portal, I clearly saw a gray figure hiding in the shadow of the arrow tower. There was no need to hesitate. I held the Deep Cold Crystal Dagger tightly and the Hammer of the Space-Time Breaker in my other hand and chased after the gray figure.

Three layers of ice shields surrounded my body. I just took two steps and Katarina caught up with me from behind.

I turned my head and looked at her. She understood what I meant without any explanation and rushed in the direction of my gaze. In the shadow of the arrow tower, Katarina was holding a thin assassin who was struggling.

"Let's go!" I lowered my voice and urged Katarina.

Katarina easily subdued the thin figure, clamped her directly under her ribs, and followed me through the portal again.

When we arrived outside the city, I put away the portal without hesitation.

Although we are not very familiar with the tropical rainforest outside Qiyan City, it does not mean that we lack experience in jungle night marches. After determining the direction, we quickly moved away from Qiyan City.

…

This raid was almost over in less than an hour. After Angus and Utas were captured by us, we asked the barbarian slaves to retreat to Xinliu Valley. After hastily cleaning up the battlefield, we opened a portal and came to the outside of the city under the heavy siege of the Knights of the Guard Camp of Qiyan City.

This was probably something that the knights of the Guard Camp never thought that we would leave through the portal.

Taking advantage of the night, we rushed through the forest for a while.

However, before dawn, Justus opened up a clearing in the dense rainforest. The tauren Luka threw Angus and Utas, who were tied like dumplings on their shoulders, under a big tree, and then skillfully built a simple marching tent. Helena and Becky hurriedly followed Luka to help.

To be honest, I am not very good at setting up tents, because in the Black Forest of the Yello plane, every time I set up camp to rest, there are special Yello natives to build tree houses for me.

Next to them, Annie and seniors Su and Erica were also setting up tents.

Catalina and I squatted under a tree, staring at the thin girl with her hands and feet tied. She was wearing a gray linen dress, her face was covered with a layer of charcoal black, and she stared at us pitifully with a pair of big eyes. I could see panic and anxiety in her eyes.

"Hey, what's your name?" I sat on a thick tree root exposed on the ground and asked the thin girl.

Catalina squatted in front of the girl and cut the ropes tied to her hands and feet with a dagger. She gently rubbed her slightly red wrists and said weakly: "Amy."

I continued to ask: "Tell me! Why are you still following us?"

From Amy's attire and dress, she didn't look like a relative of Angus Eutus, or even a maid in the manor. She was wearing a very old gray linen long coat and trousers. Although it was worn out, it was still clean and fit well. At first glance, she was a child from a poor family.

As if sensing that we were not too hostile, Amy's big eyes became more lively.

"I didn't think of following you, Master Magician. I just ran to the manor of the slave owner, Master Angus, to inquire about the whereabouts of my brother." While rubbing her ankle, Amy secretly glanced at the dagger tied to Catalina's thigh, with envy in her eyes.

"Aren't you from the manor?" I asked her.

Amy shook her head vigorously, raised one hand, and began to swear to God.

However, since the temple has been forced to close, I think the gods do not have enough binding force on this oath at this time, which is far less convincing than the magic contract.

"Is your brother in Angus's manor?" I asked again.

"No, he has nothing to do with the slave owner Angus." The girl hugged her knees tightly, which looked very small. She continued: "He went out of the city with the two magicians a few days ago and never came back. I want to find him."

Her voice was a little hoarse. Catalina handed her a kettle. She took it without hesitation and filled her stomach with water. Her stomach made a gurgling sound.

She looked at Catalina awkwardly, licked her lips, and handed the kettle back embarrassedly.

Catalina smiled gently, stretched out her hand to help the girl tidy up her messy hair, and like a magic trick, half a piece of white bread appeared in her hand and handed it to the girl Amy.

Amy stared at the white bread in front of her with wide eyes, hesitated for a second, reached out and grabbed the bread, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Only after she had eaten half the bread and drank a whole bottle of water from Catalina in one breath did she let out a sigh of relief, her eyes glowing with new light.

She was like a child who had been hungry for a long time, and occasionally had a full meal. Her stomach was so bloated that she dared not move, and she could only lean carefully against the tree, but her eyes were filled with an unprecedented satisfaction.

Amy said to us: "I heard from my brother that the slave owner Young Master Angus has recently set traps for foreign adventurers."

"They often trick the adventure groups that have just arrived in Qiyan City out of the city, and then let a group of lizard slaves pretend to be lizard tribe warriors, kill the adventurers, and plunder their property."

"Although these guys are hateful, they sometimes don't kill the guides. At most, they will capture them and lock them up for a period of time. I thought about asking in the manor to see if they have captured my brother."

"Master Magician, I know you must be demon hunters. You are specifically looking for those missing adventure groups, so you found slave owners Angus and Yutas, right?"

My heart moved slightly, and I blurted out:

"What's your brother's name?"

The girl Amy answered without thinking:

"Nathaniel!"
