My Magic Age

"Jia, I heard that the Storm Chaser Adventure Group has been disbanded? A few days ago, I saw Tia always wandering alone on the streets of Gurudin. Seeing his loneliness, I felt a little pity for him. Let's go. In the end, I didn’t expect to even be friends. Later, I heard that he took an airship back to the Green Empire at the airport. "Kuz sat on the ridge of the stone house and talked about Tia, sighing.

He lay on the gray tiles, put his hands under his head, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and asked me with some confusion: "Jia, tell me, why do you humans have so many businessmen? Does everyone like money? ? I always feel like losing so many friends, what’s the point of getting those magic crystals?”

In Kuz's heart, there are always many questions that he cannot figure out. Old Kuru once said to me: The world in the eyes of the orcs is not what I see in my eyes. Money has almost no color in their eyes.

I was sitting on the wooden ladder a little distracted. During the day, Sister Guoguo and Jianbach had not come back since they went out, which made me a little worried. The two female beast warriors were used to sleeping in the dark. They were lying on the wooden bed in the stone house, and their snoring sounds were particularly clear in the quiet night. I said to Kurtz: "Everyone thinks differently. You are not him, so of course you don't know whether he is happy or not. I heard that you have been selling those corpse fire oils these days? How are the sales going?"

"Jia, those vermicelli were bought by Butler Leyipas at a high price. I never thought that those... can be eaten like this and taste so delicious. The price of those vermicelli is actually higher than the freshest ones in Gurudin Market. The bison meat is even more valuable, and those businessmen have been trying to find out what kind of plant the vermicelli grows from. Haha, it’s really funny!” When talking about this, Kurtz always seems to be very interested, sitting up with joy and using his hands. Make famous gestures with me.

I turned around and lay down on the wooden ladder, looking up. Said to Kurtz: "Next time if a businessman asks you, just show him what I said!"

"Ah, if those merchants knew that our vermicelli was made of..., would anyone still pay a high price to buy it?" Kurtz asked me in surprise.

I lowered my voice and said, "You can choose the most expensive wheat flour in the whole guludin, and then make the method of extracting starch more complicated, and demonstrate it to them. Those wheat flours can also filter out some starch, but the cost is It’s quite high! Then you can tell them that these starches are made from those wheat flours, but the process of making vermicelli from starch should be as vague as possible so that not too many people can see it.”

"Even if those businessmen knew how to extract starch from wheat flour, it would be of no use. It is estimated that no one can afford vermicelli made from such expensive wheat flour!"

Kuz listened to my instructions and nodded repeatedly. Then he told me another very troubling thing, that is, no one cares about the corpse fire oil that we think is easy to sell. Occasionally, some hunters come up to inquire and hear the high price. Choose to leave.

Kurtz told me: "Those hunters are very resistant to those corpse fire oils. They are very sensitive to the smell. They don't like the smell of corpse fire oil! In the past few days, only some human businessmen have purchased a few oil stoves out of curiosity. ! My elder brother said that the Gurudin Council of Elders is preparing to provide a batch of fire bombs to the fortress. There should be no need to worry about the sales of these corpse fire oils, but there is no need to refine so much corpse fire oil over there! "

"Maybe it's a bit too expensive!" I guessed that in such a calamity year, even the orc nobles would not dare to spend it casually if they have spare money. Everyone would like to exchange all the coins at the bottom of the box for food. I thought maybe in the future when the famine is over, the sales of corpse oil will be better.

I thought about it and said to Kuz: "Otherwise if we do this, you can take those female beast warriors to hunt the one-horned bison, and make their meat into dried meat, floss, and tendon. You can hunt there. Cooking, bring the convenient oil stove into the wilderness, and slowly the hunters will accept it! Oh, by the way, it is said that Butler Leipas came from the dwarf kingdom! The refined iron ingots transported back from the border can be made into tinplate. With the tinplate, we can also make canned beef and canned meat! Well, that’s right! We just put the cooked meat in an iron box and seal it before cooking it. The tin cans can be stored for a long time without going bad. I even named them. They are called luncheon meat, and they are called this..."

"...You have to remember this method carefully. Canned food is a must-have during marching or traveling. It is very delicious!" The topic of our conversation unknowingly shifted from the issue of refining corpse oil to food. , we always have a lot of topics in this area.

The night was covered with a veil, and the wind blew, bringing gauze-like clouds. A silver moon rose into the sky, driving away the flickering stars. The lights of thousands of houses in Gurudin Town were extinguished one by one, leaving only the bright street lights on the main streets, with very few pedestrians on the streets.

I don’t know when the two of us fell asleep. I was afraid that when the two beast girls woke up, they would find me sleeping on the wooden ladder, but I really didn’t feel anything at all. The sleepiness came so suddenly. , it always felt like someone was whispering in my ear. His voice was just in the stage of voice change, and it was a little hoarse and sharp, but his tone seemed very impetuous, as if he was talking to me, but also to himself. Say it yourself Said: "My upright seventh uncle, without your help, he can only be a reckless hunter. Even if he has more brilliant achievements in the future, he can still only become a hunter king, and I am the new king who can finally inherit the will of the entire blood wolf tribe of orcs. I am the eldest son of my father, Kurt, and I am the first heir to the throne. Without you, my uncle will only lead those remote orcs everywhere. Go hunting..."

I opened my sleepy eyes and found that I was lying in a strange environment. Specifically, I should be lying on a rectangular stone table. The cold stones took away the little heat in my body. After thinking about it, it was so cold that I shivered several times.

This is definitely not the small stone house behind the parliament hall. I am not sleeping on the wooden ladder. Kurtz beside me has disappeared without a trace. When I open my eyes, what I see is the two most irritating ones. The terrifying faces made me think I was dreaming. I was so scared that I quickly closed my eyes again. When I opened them again, it was still them. My heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

Coolio, the eldest son of Chief Kut, was standing next to me. He was whispering softly, telling me about my mistake: "Why do you and Uncle Qi go to the Beilu Wasteland? Do you know where to come back?" Orcs, how many people are praising the deeds of you two, saying that the Agui beast is the king of the desert in the northern wilderness? Zhou is a sage who spreads hope! But you are so young, and the other person is my uncle! His achievements and reputation are even better than those of my father in the eyes of those poor people, so why has no one ever talked about me? ? I am the first heir of the Blood Wolf Clan in Grudin Town, me! "

"The Beast God is still favoring you. Even the Beast God favors you two and actually let you find a way to make salt..."

I had completely woken up, slowly opened my eyes and stared at Coolio, and said calmly: "These are the reasons why you betrayed me? Did you reveal my residence to this respected liger elder?"

Coolio never thought that I would wake up completely at this time, and his face turned pale with fright. It turned out that he was just talking to himself. At this time, when he saw me staring at him, he was frightened and angry and turned his head to the lion. The tiger elder asked in a low voice: "You said he would sleep at least until dawn, but why did he wake up now? Once my great-grandfather...oh no, even if my father knows, I will be completely finished, you Do you know?"

Following Coolio's gaze, I looked at the liger elder coldly. Even though he was completely hidden under his cloak, I would never mistake him for the special aura on his body. I have no time to pay attention to this orc boy who does things without thinking. In a spoiled orc boy like him, there is no trace of the best qualities of the orcs.

I turned my gaze to the side, using the moonlight to look at the person standing quietly hiding in the cloak. The two soul-stirring eyes in the hood, one red and one blue, were staring at me greedily. The concealed hatred spread out from his eyes, and for a moment I didn’t even know he Why did he hate me so much, but it was obvious that Coolio had no ability at all. Without knowing it, he brought me here from the stone house while I was sleeping. I tried to twist my body, and found that The whole person was actually trapped on the stone platform by a chain.

"The first time I saw you, I felt you looked familiar. Kuz and I once met a group of wasteland bandits in the Beiyu Wasteland..."

When the liger elder saw me recognizing him, he didn't hide his identity. He stretched out his withered hand and lifted up the conical hat on his cloak, revealing his old face. His two eyes, one red and one blue, looked particularly terrifying in the night. He did not hide anything and admitted directly: "You are right. The two ligers you met are my children. Bifulun was led astray by Bifulun. In fact, when I was in Guru When I saw the two exquisite giant swords in the hands of a human weapons dealer in Ding Town, I knew something might have happened to the two children! "

"Whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you that even if you kill Bifulon, I will not have any blame on you! When they chose to take that road of no return, they should have considered the serious consequences. , If I were not their father, I would be the one who punishes rape and eliminates evil in the northern wilderness!" The liger elder said to me, and I had a feeling that he was telling the truth at this time.

He continued: "Later on the outskirts of Gurudin Town, Bifulong led the gray dwarf bandits here just to avenge Bifulon. Do you really think those wolf cavalry in the Western Wilderness are so incompetent? Even hundreds of them Didn’t you even know that the gray dwarves were approaching Gurudin? If I hadn't intercepted those pieces of information, those gray dwarves would have been torn apart by the wolf cavalry long ago. But I didn't expect that you two children, with a group of beast girls who have never even held weapons, could actually Completely annihilating those gray dwarves is beyond my expectations!”

"Did you arrest me because I killed your son?" I asked the liger elder, because I didn't see Kurtz, and it seemed that I was the only one who was arrested.

But I heard the liger elder ask me: "No, I brought you here. I just want to ask you, who took the 'Thunderbird Feather' from my daughter?"

"You? Rengar... It's you who stole the 'Thunderbird Feather' in our showroom?" Coolio's eyes widened when he heard the liger elder say this. He opened his eyes and loudly questioned the liger elder.

It was as if the liger elder said excitedly: "I'm just looking for a birthday gift for my daughter, my only daughter! And that feather should have belonged to me, it's mine! I'm just It’s to get what I should get. I heard that you cornered her and killed her in the end.”

At this time, I finally figured something out. It turned out that the thunderbird feathers lost in the Kurtz family castle were stolen by Rengar, the liger elder. Although I don’t know how he stole it, look. Judging from Coolio's surprised look, it was obvious that this matter was a secret. Coolio's eyes told me that Rengar stealing the "Thunderbird Feather" was as unreliable as the harpy being the daughter of the liger elder Rengar. But this is the only way to explain why the snow-white harpy leader has the 'thunderbird feather' in his hand.

"That child is the daughter of me and the previous harpy leader Josephine. Unfortunately, she completely inherited Josephine's bloodline, but she is nothing like me. She can only be a harpy, but she But she is very talented. She is a natural wind whisperer and can communicate with the wind element. She has begun to gain wisdom, so she will often restrain her tribe from attacking people in the wasteland. Orcs, there have been very few killings around Yelangya Mountain in recent years. As a reward for her, I gave her a 'Thunderbird Feather' that should have been mine on her birthday. She is a very good child. , I usually live in seclusion, but I was actually killed by you! Do you know how much I hate you? I want to tear you to pieces..."

The liger elder had already taken out a sharp dagger from his arms, and looked at him as if he wanted to chop me into pieces and feed me to the dogs. I sighed, thinking to myself that I had already killed a son and a daughter, and such a huge hatred could not be resolved no matter what. I tried to recite the spell silently, cast the "Cloak of Shadows", and escape through the night. But lying on this stone platform, all the magic power in his body seemed to be imprisoned, and his whole body was completely unresponsive.

"Rengar, that's enough... I've spent so much money to finally see you. Hello, my child. My name is Mondtroya. You can also call me Mondstroyer. Welcome to me." I have been waiting for this ceremony for twenty years. I am grateful to the almighty goddess Celine for guiding you to me. I will spend my whole life to fulfill my promise and let the glory of goddess Celine shine. In every dark corner of the world..."

At this time, a cold sound came from the darkness, as harsh as metal scratching glass. However, this sound condensed into orcish language, making people's bones feel sore after hearing it. After he recited a long eulogy, a magic circle of six-pointed stars suddenly lit up around the stone platform, and I was lying on the stone platform in the center of the magic circle.

Large pieces of magic crystal are placed at the six points of the six-ray magic circle. A steady stream of magic elements converges along the magic circle to the stone platform under my body. Master Montetroya is wearing a black magic robe. The entire magic robe is embroidered with intricate magic patterns using fine gold threads.

He stopped the liger Rengar and came slowly over. I was finally able to clearly see his appearance. He turned out to be the mysterious magician from the Stars Adventure Group. At this time, he was comforting the liger elder Rengar: "I promise you, I will kill him, but That needs to wait until the ceremony is over, in order to be able to find such a It has taken me twenty years to create a child with a natural talent for magic. I don’t have another twenty years to wait. I will tell you the whereabouts of the harpy after the incident is over. That's a really beautiful bird, and it doesn't look like you at all!"

"Roar!" Rengar let out a dull roar from his throat, forcing the magician Montetroya to take half a step back.

At this time, Montetroya was not upset. He raised his hand slightly to signal Rengar to calm down, and then said seriously and vowed: "I promise to tell you, and I will also give you a sum of money and a new identity." , and of course a ticket for the airship. You will go to the imperial capital to find the lost granddaughter. Haha, I can’t imagine that a liger actually has a daughter with wings!”

"No one wants to see your evil and bloody sacrifice ceremony. Tell me the whereabouts of my granddaughter. I will go find him immediately, and I! I have already fulfilled my promise!" The liger elder has no intention of giving in. .

Montetroya reached out and took out a magic parchment from his arms, threw it directly to Rengar, and said calmly: "The specific situation is written on it, and I will give you this..." The magician added another He threw the gold coin in his pocket to the liger elder Rengar, then gave him a deep bow and said, "I wish you a faster trip to the Green Empire!"

Rengar took the magic parchment roll without even looking at it. He waved the bag of gold coins to the ground and turned around to leave without even saying a word. His figure slowly disappeared from my sight, and Coolio on the side saw the liger elder Rengar turning around and walking away. He also panicked and wanted to follow Rengar away.

But it was already a bit late to leave at this time.

"Purify his soul thoroughly, fireball!"

What kind of fireball is that? I was lying on the stone platform and saw Mondetroya waved his hand and raised a cloud of fire, which directly wrapped up Kulio who turned around and wanted to escape. Mondetroya didn't even raise his eyelids, as if killing an orc was as easy as slapping a fly. At this time, Kulio seemed to be strangled by someone's hand, and he couldn't make a sound.

The cloud of fire attached directly to the surface of his body, burning little by little, his leather armor, the exquisite crystal buttons on the leather armor, the dagger on his waist, his hair... body... bones... were burning little by little, but this ball of fire didn't make any sound.

The last thing I saw of Kulio was that his whole skeleton was burning violently under the blazing flames. It wasn't that flames were coming out of the cracked bones. In a short time, Kulio had turned into a pile of ashes.

Mondetroya sighed and said, "What a bad kid!"

He turned around slowly, staring at me with a venomous snake-like look, then tried to pull the corners of his mouth towards me, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "I finally figured it out. Why did I feel so weird every time I saw you on the Xinghu Grassland? It made me feel uncomfortable all over!"

"Haha, it turns out that there is magic power in your body. It's hard to imagine how you store magic power without a magic core, magic pool and magic heart in your body. However, I'm not in the mood to study these now. I've been eating sand on the Pai Plateau for more than two months and I hate this place! I'd better hold a sacrifice ceremony quickly to deprive you of your magic talent and calm down to prepare for the full-time trial. By the way, I'm really lucky to meet you!" The magician Mondetroya took out a magic wand from his arms, waved it lightly and arrogantly, and the iron chain on my body fell off.

And my whole body was like in water, and a strong buoyancy held me in the air.

I thought that I would be able to move again after losing the chains, but it was obviously not the case. The entire stone platform was like a piece of blue crystal, and it actually lit up. Countless magic lines formed a three-dimensional magic array on the stone platform. I had never seen such a complex array.

At this time, I heard the magician Mondetroya standing beside me and whispering to me: "You will see the greatest mysterious spell in history, but the name of this spell is not very nice, at least not so artistic. We magicians call it: 'Blood Deprivation Spell', which is the 'evil spell' that outsiders often talk about!"
