My Magic Age

Chapter 217 17. Waving goodbye on the lake

At ten minutes before dusk, there was a rare moment of silence on the battlefield. The strong barbarians silently dragged away the corpses of their companions. There was no sadness in their eyes. Death was like another new life, maybe... The end of suffering, in short there is nothing to be sad about. Blood stained the entire shoal on the north shore of Fish Lake. The ancient Bolai horses that fell on the beach still had scales hanging on their bodies. The broken military flag was stuck sideways. The broken flag was stained with blood and was blown by the wind. There was a loud sound.

Some soldiers from the guard regiment wearing chain armor leaned together. They didn't say anything, they all looked up at the sky in unison. The sunset was like a burning fire, making the entire western sky red, and the glow reflected on the faces of the soldiers. on them, as if they were inlaid with a golden edge. After a whole day of fierce fighting, every soldier's physical strength has been drained. The original guard group of 5,000 people has been reduced by nearly half, but everyone still insists on one belief, the belief in fighting.

Horse broth was delivered to every soldier. The soldiers who usually wolfed down wild vegetable porridge and raw meat jerky could not swallow the broth for a long time. The soldiers would rather bury the Gubo Lai horses that died in the battle than to Willing to eat their flesh. Once upon a time, they and their horses were as close as brothers. They could sleep in the same stable, drink water from the same manger, and gallop in the woods beside the Baixiang River with their horses and chariots whipping their whips. But now, the broth in the soldiers' bowls was so heavy that they couldn't pick it up with both hands.

Everyone knows what they will face when the night comes. Every dawn eve is when the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra are at their strongest. Only they can wait patiently until the moment before dawn without fear of the cold night, and then launch a deadly attack on the enemy.

In the dark night, those barbarians will use their spears to shoot down the warriors in every lighted place. The barbarians in the north are accustomed to long nights, and are even more accustomed to fighting in the dark. They rely on their strong bodies to defeat the enemy from the front.

Sitting on a broken war drum, the thin sword made of Thorium in his hand has become twisted. He found a towel and wiped it carefully. Today it is a hero on the battlefield. Jingyue has pierced ten times with this thin sword. The head of a barbarian. The barbarians on the battlefield looked very young. If they were elite barbarian warriors who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, Jingyue knew that his guard group would not be able to persist until now.

The leggings of her silver knight's armor had some mottled marks. She sat on the war drum and tried her best to make herself breathe as smoothly as possible, although it took courage to raise her hand to wipe the rapier every time. His body was so exhausted that his hands could no longer hold the rapier firmly. She needed to rest. The remaining 2,600 people in the entire guard group needed to rest. She shook her long blond hair and placed the crown with red feathers on the wooden shelf beside her. She put down the wiped With a thin sword, he reached out and twisted a piece of bread on the wooden shelf and stuffed it into his mouth, forcing himself to eat it.

The old mage Clement is still in meditation, and he will wake up again at nightfall.

Jingyue sighed silently, her original impulsive decision ruined the entire guard regiment. Where did those barbarians all over the mountains and plains come from? Jingyue's mind flashed back to the scene where Duke Wall was furious that day in the meeting hall. His sister Sha Alli disappeared inexplicably and was found again. Later, she appeared in Shiluo. In the hospital in It Province, my unstoppable anger burst out. Everything was so interconnected and reasonable, but everything was so coincidental, but I couldn't find any flaws.

Jingyue wanted to fight with the soldiers until the last moment, even if she died, it didn't matter.

In fact, it is not that I have never thought about escaping to the lake, but less than half of the soldiers in the guard regiment cannot swim. If I choose to disembark from the other side of the fish lake, it will mean giving up at least half of the soldiers in addition to the wounded. , Zhenggeng's guard regiment will be depleted, and Jingyue does not have the courage to face such a fragmented guard regiment. Rather than doing that, it is better to let herself die on the battlefield tonight, at least live with more dignity.

A moment ago, the soldiers were still persuading Jingyue to leave the battlefield with the old mage Clement after nightfall. Almost everyone believed that this night would be their last night in this world.

Jingyue also fell into endless struggle...

But at this moment, the night sky was already filled with bright stars, reflecting the sparkling blue lake surface. After the breeze blew, the lake water set off layers of waves that overlapped and slapped on the pebbles on the shore, and a "swish, swish, swish, swish" sound was heard. The sound of water.

Jingyue faced the vast fish lake and fell into a strange state. She was deep in thought. At this time, she saw a black shadow riding on the waves on the lake, with a bright starry sky above his head. , stepping on a straight water line under their feet, the lake water parted to both sides in unison, just like a water arrow shooting towards the team.

The figure was getting closer and closer, and it became clearer and clearer in her eyes. She could tell that it was a human boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing a very ordinary cotton shirt and linen pants. He looked like The teenagers in the city were dressed in the same way, but he was standing on the water of the lake at this time, looking so natural, and even had a faint smile on his face. He was breathing slightly, looking like he had just After running fiercely, his breath was already disordered.

But it was such an ordinary young man who came on the water of Star Lake in the dark night.

He was standing calmly on the lake at this moment, with a light blue stone drum hanging on his belt, emitting a faint light, and the faint magic breath was constantly spreading outwards. The young man gasped slightly and looked at Looking at Jingyue who was sitting on the old war drum and meditating, he said, "While there is still some time, let's move the wounded soldiers first, okay?"

Is there anything better than this? At this moment, Jingyue suddenly felt like a helpless little girl. When she saw someone who could help her, she kept nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice. That inexplicable sense of security almost broke through the last trace of her soul in an instant. line of defense.

...Beautiful dividing line...

I saw the charming female knight sitting helplessly on a broken war drum, with a clean rapier on her legs. Her somewhat resolute and heroic face looked a little tired and helpless. Help, like a homeless girl, looking at the silent lake in confusion, until I rushed over, she looked at me with surprise.

I said to her: "While there is still some time, how about we move the wounded soldiers first?"

She didn't even ask how to evacuate the wounded soldiers, but nodded impatiently and agreed. When she stood up, I realized that her body was slender and slender. She was wearing a knight's armor made of thorium, which made her look particularly beautiful. She had long golden hair hanging behind her head, holding a helmet with red bird feathers in her hand, and hurriedly walked towards me.

In such a silent dark night, several soldiers guarding her safety suddenly appeared around her, standing between me and her.

The female knight pushed away the knights with all her strength and rushed towards me regardless. Seeing that she had stepped into the lake a few steps in succession, and her exquisite armor had all been immersed in the cold lake water, I sighed and pointed. A magic pattern was drawn on the front of the body. In the magic circle, a water elemental magic power merged into a force of energy, which shot into the female knight's body like a ball of air arrows. Suddenly, the energy of the water elemental magic element gave the female knight the ability to stand on the water. She Stepping on the water in surprise, he walked towards me.

At this moment, I am savoring the wonderful taste of the "magic restoration" of the blue crystal stone drum. The magic on this Stone Drum Totem is usually the one I don't use most often. Even when I practice those magic spells repeatedly, I rarely turn on the 'Magic Recovery' on the Blue Crystal Stone Drum Totem. I even prefer that the magic in my body After all the magic is consumed, the proficiency of 'Heating' can be increased. How can one turn on 'Magic Recovery' in this case!

This kind of water magic element is like countless nectar, like spring rain, slowly falling from the sky, dripping on my body, constantly seeping into my body, constantly moisturizing my body, a clear warm current It spread from my limbs and bones and gathered into a new magical power.

"What is this? Is this magic?" The female knight's voice was very charming, and her tone had an undoubted power.

She had already come close to me at this time. When she walked towards me again, I quickly and cautiously took two steps back to distance myself from her, then nodded and said, "This is a kind of thing that is not common in the Green Empire." The common general-purpose magic "Walk on Water" originally belonged to the magic of the shamans of the orc tribe on the Pai Plateau, but now this magic has only one function, just like its name - "Walk on Water". '."

Jingyue saw that I looked like I was not close to strangers, so she took the initiative to stop and said: "If you have any requests, just ask them now. If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse. Before I can Before I decide to return, I hope you will cherish this opportunity. I, Jingyue Aili, promise that after we leave safely, I will fulfill what I promised you tonight."

I scratched my head and thought about it, but for a while I really didn’t know what I needed. Do I want the most luxurious villa in the wealthy area of ​​El City or a box of magic crystals? I thought about it for a long time, but I didn’t think about it. What exactly do I want? Maybe after the magic awakening ceremony, I need an apprentice-level magic wand, or a Sloite The admission notice from the most famous junior magic academy in the province, but after thinking about it repeatedly, I feel that these are not that important. Now I just want to grow up quietly, although I know that doing so will be a waste for me. It's an adventure, but I can't ignore the lives of those brave soldiers. Thinking about it carefully, I don't even know what I want.

So he said to her: "Don't let those soldiers see me, and please forget about me from tomorrow on. I just want to make my life a little dull. I don't want to be fooled by those old lunatics in the ivory tower." Scratching, like a guinea pig on a test bench, you know what I mean?"

"In fact, I also hate those old guys. They have been hiding in the ivory tower for years and have no idea what they are studying! Okay, deal, I promise you, I won't tell anyone about you. ! In the future, I will never take the initiative to find you, but if one day, we When we meet again, I hope that we can be friends and can stand together and talk. If we have a chance to meet again in the future, I hope that we can invite you to share it with you in the restaurant in Sloit City. Let's have dinner..." Jingyue Aili said to me with a faint smile on her lips.

I quickly said: "Deal! But..."

My voice was stretched out, Jingyue Aili looked at me with some doubts, I smiled and said to her: "When you have dinner together, don't forget to bring money!"

Looking at Jingyue's smiling face, it seemed as if she was saying: Does any restaurant in Sloyt City dare to charge me? Just go with me to eat.

...

It was a very long process. I sat on a rock on the shore for a whole night, with my back to the soldiers who lined up in a long line and walked silently into the lake. At first, some soldiers passed by with wounded soldiers on their backs. I tried my best to cast spells continuously, and the casting speed went from slow to fast. Later, it was my magic power that was not enough. The "Heating" skill has a 290% increase in magic recovery. With the "magic recovery" on the blue crystal stone drum totem, as long as I adjusted the casting speed to a specific rhythm, the magic power could just balance the income and expenditure.

But it was still too slow, too slow!

Finally, Jingyue Aili had to make another decision. The first to leave were the wounded soldiers, and then the soldiers in the guards who could not swim at all. Later, those who were not good at swimming were also asked to leave in advance. The whole operation was done very secretly. It was pitch black in the camp, leaving no chance for the barbarian throwers in the distance.

All night, there were definitely less than five short spears shot from the night sky.

Those barbarians may want to break through the last line of defense of the guards before dawn. Almost all the barbarian warriors chose to rest. They believed that the Sloyt City Guards had no ability to organize a breakout again, so they quietly waited for the arrival of the last stop.

When the light of dawn lit up a white line on the eastern horizon, the black night had faded into blue, and the two crisscrossing galaxies gradually disappeared in the night. The barbarians' field of vision gradually increased. When they lined up, nearly 5,000 barbarian warriors formed a square and approached the camp of the guard camp.

But after the morning mist dissipated, the empty battlefield became dead silent.

The last team of 500 guards stood side by side on the lake, silently watching the barbarians.

The barbarian warriors looked at the guards standing on the lake in disbelief, and finally rushed to the edge of the fish lake in anger, but when they reached the water, the barbarians stepped their legs into the knee-deep water and refused to walk into the lake. They even kept shaking in the knee-deep water, like a group of drunkards. .

Jingyue Aili rode on the Gubolai horse, standing on the surface of the fish lake, looking back and quietly looking at the angry barbarians, quietly raised her arms, and gestured to retreat to the last 500 guards...

There was no form of farewell. When I felt that Jingyue's guards no longer needed me to cast spells, I disappeared like air.

At this moment, I was floating in the lake, and following the undercurrent of the lake, I drifted to the other side little by little. My face was a little pale. Anyone who had cast spells for more than two thousand times with almost all their strength throughout the night, and whose magic power was repeatedly exhausted, would not be in a better state than me. I was just seriously overdrawn.

So far, after tonight, my "heating" magic skill has reached level 30. I can clearly feel that the nodes in my body are like nests of clear springs, and pure magic power is pouring out from the nodes all over my body. That situation is just like the scene of magic power generated from the magic pool described by Sister Guoguo.

But now, for me, the place where magic power keeps pouring out is the nodes all over my body...
