My Magic Age

The young goblin saw the confusion on my face, so he snatched the small piece of wheat cake from the hand of the little goblin next to him and placed it in front of me. He quickly took out the cuprite from the wooden bowl and placed it in front of it. , said to me: "The bread...is yours, and the copper is mine."

When the little goblin on the side saw the young goblin snatching the food from his hand, he was so anxious that he jumped up and down, but he dared not say anything in anger. He could only look pitifully at the piece of food placed in front of my feet that was full of teeth marks. Wheat cake, my mouth keeps watering. The young goblin took back the small piece of wheat cake again and continued to speak in vague imperial language: "The cake... she gave it to... me, and the copper is a gift."

After the young goblin finished speaking, he pushed the copper piece to my feet again. Only then did I understand that this piece of red copper was a gift from the young goblin to Ying Li. So he happily picked up the copper block and said to him, "I will hand it over to you."

I was feeling a little sleepy, so I was going to get into the tent and rest.

But I was stopped by the young goblin again. I thought it was worried about handing over the red copper to me, and was worried that I would steal the piece of red copper, so I simply handed it the red copper and said to it: "I will give you broth." The person is resting!" I was afraid that it wouldn't understand what I said, so it made a sleeping gesture, and then continued: "I will hand it over to her when she wakes up, or..."

I squatted down and looked at the young goblin, handed the red copper back, and continued to say to the young goblin: "Maybe you want to hold it first, and when she wakes up later, you can hand it to her in person. I think she will be very happy."

The young goblin could obviously understand a lot of Imperial language. At least it understood everything I said. Then he waved his hand repeatedly and did not take back the piece of red copper. Instead, he took out another piece from the pocket on his waist. The big red copper came out, and he carefully placed it in front of me again, and then said: "Copper... mine, for you, gift... I want it."

After it finished speaking, it returned the piece of dusty wheat cake to the little gnome. The little gnome squeaked excitedly and hugged the young gnome's skinny thighs and refused to let go. The young gnome lifted the little gnome up. , put it aside, and then looked at me expectantly. I was a little embarrassed. When I came, I didn’t bring much dry food, and I didn’t have meat floss bricks that were brought back from the Pai Plateau. The only thing I had was a few wheat cakes, which were emergency supplies, especially here. In the mines, any accident may happen. I am a water magician, so I don't have to worry about running out of water, but I can't create food with magic, so I have some hesitations.

Perhaps seeing my hesitation, the young goblin took out two smaller pieces of red copper from his bag. These copper pieces were naturally formed red copper, not ores, and their surfaces were very irregular. It pushed the red copper in front of me and stood in front of me, looking at me eagerly. Seeing that it was a little pitiful, I touched the magic pocket again. Suddenly I remembered that there was a large piece of fresh tiger meat in the pocket, so I took out a piece and handed it to it.

I thought it would prefer the soup made from meat floss and wheat cakes, but I didn’t expect the young goblin to scream and jump while holding the piece of fresh meat. It was so happy that it went crazy. Seeing that it had fulfilled its wish, I picked up the three pieces of red copper and put them in my pocket, turned around and got into the tent, took off the magic top and trousers stained with dust and a trace of blood, folded them and put them aside. Get into the fluffy sleeping bag.

At this time, I thought: "I wonder what Hank would think when he saw this scene. They worked hard to dig those poor copper ores, but they didn't expect that I just used a piece of fresh tiger meat to get three pieces of copper."

Thinking of this, I started to do it all at once and looked through the magic waist bag. I have two magic waist bags in total. One originally belonged to me, and the other was picked up from the crazy alchemist. One magic waist bag contained some magic coins from Daily necessities and scrolls brought from Slot City Sundries, the other backpack has a slightly larger capacity. The mustard space is enough to hold ten neatly folded saber-tooth tiger skins, and is filled with ten saber-tooth tiger skins, some scattered tiger teeth and unpeeled magic cores, and then It was a whole fan of saber-toothed tiger meat that had been peeled off, filling the remaining space.

In comparison, the magical metal red copper is more valuable and easier to store. I am thinking that maybe if I meet a certain goblin in the future, I should give him a piece of fresh meat as a gift as soon as I meet him...

Just like that, amid constant thoughts, I fell asleep.

...beautiful dividing line...

It was Darwin who shook me awake. He winked at me. I knew it was almost time, but I didn't expect that I slept for so long. His eyes were always looking outward, looking at the tent entrance with admiration.

Then I saw Helena, with a long ponytail and a pretty face, walking in from outside the tent holding a pile of washed clothes. I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully at the pile of clothes, only to find that it was the dedication suit I was about to wear. I don’t know when she took it away. It seemed to be dry now. The magic top and lantern trousers were washed very clean and felt dry and warm to the touch. In such a humid and cold cave, keeping the body temperature can also save some energy.

I got up from the sleeping bag. Helena didn't expect me to wake up. She glared at Darwin fiercely, then put the clothes next to my sleeping bag with a red face, turned around and went out. She walked very softly, as if A Persian cat, with a delicate face even without any modification, fascinated Darwin. It was not until her figure completely disappeared outside the tent that Darwin looked back angrily.

Then he looked at me with some envy and said: "No wonder no one in our Warrior Academy has been able to catch the most beautiful begonia flower in the freshman courtyard. It turns out that she likes you Jijia. If this group of senior brothers in our Warrior Academy Got it, people who want to duel with you will probably line up from the gate of the city hall all the way to the teaching building."

I quickly said: "Don't talk nonsense. We have a life-long friendship. I still want to hang out until graduation. If I am chased by a group of flower protectors all day long, I will talk about it." How can I stand shouting to fight with me for love and freedom?"

Darwin still praised him twice, and then lowered his voice and vowed to me: "You took such good care of me in Xinliu Valley. If I can't keep this little secret, how can I be friends!"

I stood up and started to get dressed, and he came to me and said to me: "But this is not a solution. The fire can't be contained in the paper, not to mention that Helena and Yingli are very good friends. There must be something. One day I won’t be able to hide this matter, and if I don’t do it right, I’ll be in trouble, and neither side will be able to benefit from it. I have to make a decision in advance about this matter.”

I didn't realize that Darwin was actually a gossip at heart. I originally thought that he was an introverted child who didn't like to talk much. But after getting acquainted with him, I discovered that there was a restless heart hidden in his body. I even admitted that I was still a virgin and fell in love with a senior sister in college, but I had been trying hard to pursue her but had not yet succeeded. But people who always think of themselves as successful will often bring out the examples they know and tell them to us.

However, the examples he could learn from were very limited, and they were nothing more than his father's romantic affairs. However, it seemed that Darwin already regarded his father as his idol. Just when Darwin was talking enthusiastically, Ying Li opened the curtain of our tent and poked half of his face in. His eyes were as curved as crescent moons. He raised the corners of his mouth and said to me: "Jia, come out and take a look. What's going on outside?" There is a group of goblins who want to exchange red copper for food."

When Darwin saw Ying Li suddenly opened the curtain and poked his head in curiously, as if he was very interested in the conversation between the two of us, he quickly fell silent, his face turned a little red, and he quickly found an excuse to sneak out of the tent.

Seeing Darwin hurriedly looking for an excuse to run out, Yingli smiled and ducked in through the tent entrance. He sat opposite me and looked up at me with a smile. He didn't say anything, just kept smiling. His appearance makes people feel very cute. I like how gentle and easy-going he is. Regarding Helena's ambiguous relationship, I felt a little guilty when I faced Ying Li, and what I talked about with Darwin also made me a little embarrassed.

"Why didn't you tell him? Do you think it's hard?" Ying Li asked me with a smile. "When I walked into the ordinary life of a princess, I found that she was not as beautiful as imagined. Not only was she bound by many rules and regulations, but she also had to worry about the dignity of the royal family and had to do things that were against her own wishes. That’s right. Sometimes I think, I really want to be an ordinary person, even a commoner, or a magician, but I don’t want to be a princess.”

"Why?" I asked her a little strangely.

Ying Li lowered his eyelashes, looked at the patterns on the wolf skin mattress, and said softly: "I don't know why, I just think you are like a bird that wants to fly freely, and wants to have a broader sky, and I It may become your shackles and your fetters.”

She said a little sadly, and she felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, so she immediately closed her eyes, squeezed the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then looked at me with a smile.

I buttoned the last button, leaned over and held her tightly in my arms, and said to her: "I don't want to fly alone. The world is so big, and I hope to see the outside with you." Scenery, go on an adventure with you.”

"Are you telling the truth?" Ying Li asked me happily, his eyes filled with sparkling water vapor.

"Yes." I nodded seriously. "Let's go out and see what's going on outside."

Ying Li seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately remembered the reason why he came to wake me up, and said quickly: "Oh, by the way, Jijia, the goblins in the village brought a lot of metals and ores, and they are in our camp. They set up stalls outside and want to do business with us..."

"Uh! Before I went to bed, the young goblin returned from the village and brought you this!" I remembered what happened before going to bed, took out the young goblin's red copper, handed it to Ying Li and said : "It said this was a gift to you. You gave it broth and wheat cakes, and it asked me to give you a piece of red copper."

Ying Li covered his mouth in surprise and said, "This piece of natural magic metal was given to me?"

"Yes!" I handed the piece of red copper to Ying Li and pulled her out of the tent together.

When I walked out of the tent, I realized that it was like a lively market outside. Countless goblins came to our campsite carrying what they thought were precious gifts, just to exchange for a bite to eat. To be precise, they wanted more. Get a piece of fresh meat. At this time, the young goblin who had originally traded with me was also stunned at the scene in front of him, not knowing what to say.

Perhaps because of our friendliness, countless goblins flocked to us. They brought with them countless precious things from the underground world, but most of them were worthless ordinary brass. There were still a few magic metals, red copper, and some even mixed ordinary brass and magic red copper together to make large copper ingots. In the eyes of the goblins, these yellow metals are similar and can be used to refine chain mail.

However, in the eyes of magicians and explorers, there is an essential difference between ordinary brass and magic red copper. That is, red copper is a rare magic metal that can conduct magic power and is the most basic metal material for making magic weapons and magic armor. Among the rare magic metals such as red copper, black iron, mithril, thorium, and fine gold, red copper is the cheapest, but as long as it is a magic metal, it is more valuable than gold.

The members of Hank's team were like visiting a market, picking and choosing the metal ingots and ores brought by the goblins.

In fact, the red copper in the hands of these goblins was not much. The team members searched almost all the pockets of the goblins, but only found 20 to 30 pieces of red copper and a few hundred pieces of red copper ore. The remaining piles of ordinary ores were turned up by Hank's team and scattered all over the ground. The goblins carefully picked up the ordinary ores scattered on the ground and brought them back to their side. They were very sensible and never took things that did not belong to them.

And they hoped that their metals and ores would be selected by these explorers. Every time a piece of metal was selected, they could get some corresponding food. Although these explorers could not take out more fresh meat, those wheat cakes were also delicious. Hank held a piece of red copper in his hand and kept repeating to each goblin: "This copper can be exchanged for meat."

He pointed to the piles of ordinary copper ores on the ground and said: "Those can't!"

He hoped to let these goblins know what can be exchanged for food, so that these goblins can take out more red copper.

At this time, Darwin was also among them. In comparison, Darwin was more popular with the goblins because Darwin took out fresh tiger meat from his backpack, which was the goblins' favorite. So some goblins took the initiative to show their ores to Darwin. Whenever Darwin smiled and put the stones into his backpack, the goblin would cheer and act happier than Darwin.

Almost everyone present had gained something, but Rita had the least. She was on the edge of the market and her luck was not very good. After picking for a long time, she only saw a few pieces of red copper ores. Jijia said: Carrying these heavy ores will affect the speed of action, especially Rita is not like Yingli and the others. Each of those girls has a magic waist bag around their waists, which can hold a lot of things. Rita does not have a luxurious magic waist bag. If she wants to bring the red copper ore back to Schroit City, she can only carry it on her back. The ore is so heavy, so this seems a bit unrealistic.

Becky, Lagertis, Helena, and Rita squatted in front of a little goblin, watching it wolf down a piece of wheat cake. Rita took this out for the goblin. She saw the goblin standing by the stone, looking so thin and pitiful. Unfortunately, it had almost nothing on it, and even the linen clothes were so big that they didn't fit it at all.

Rita was sympathetic for a moment, so she walked over and gave the goblin a fist-sized piece of wheat cake to eat. She originally planned to leave after giving it, but she saw that the goblin was eating voraciously, which was very cute, so she squatted there and watched it finish eating. Finally, she broke a dark red plant leaf from the stone, rolled it into a small cup, and gave the goblin a glass of water.

The goblin licked his lips, slowly savoring the delicious taste of the wheat cake, and then drank the water in the leaf cup, looking at Rita a little embarrassed.

Rita thought the goblin was very interesting. At this time, Becky and Lagertis also saw this scene and went to look at the goblin.

The goblin thought that since he had eaten Rita's food, he must give Rita a gift. He felt around and found that he had nothing. He became a little anxious. Finally, he took out an eyeball-sized emerald green stone from his clothes. Rita thought it was a rusty copper block and didn't want it, but the goblin insisted on giving it to him, looking pitiful.

Rita thought this might be a way of life for the goblins. All items must be exchanged to be fair. In order to make the goblin feel better, she took the green stone in her hand, but found that the stone was cold after she took it. Lagertis came closer and took the eyeball-sized stone to take a closer look. He looked at the emerald green stone with ecstasy and said excitedly: "This... This is malachite!"
