My Magic Age

Chapter 321 121. An Ordinary Day

There is a beautiful and rich city called Xinghai City near the coastline at the easternmost end of the province of Sloyt. It has the largest seaport in the northernmost part of the Green Empire. Large merchant ships come from the southern provinces of the empire all year round. After replenishing supplies in Xinghai Bay, they exchange customs documents and go upstream along the White Elephant River to enter Sloyt City 200 kilometers away. Therefore, the location of Xinghai Bay is very important. It is also the largest city at the northernmost end of the coastline of the empire to defend against the invasion of the sea tribe.

Take a sailboat in Xinghai City and sail east for two days to enter a natural trench, which is called the "Arc Light Trench" because there are mirages on the sea surface all year round. Whenever a mirage appears, a dark red rainbow will rise above the sky under the sky. Yes, it is a rainbow with a single color that can last for several days without dissipating. The local sea dwellers call it "Arc Light".

The Arc Light Trench is rich in delicious fish, but fishermen who want to go fishing in the Arc Light Trench usually invite a very prestigious adventure group to go out to sea with them. There are many large monsters in the sea, and there are often large monsters swimming in the sea attacking fishing boats. Therefore, most fishing boats going out to sea will invite adventure groups to go out to sea together.

In the Arc Light Trench, a low-level monster called acacia clam is collected. Acacia clam is a very special clam. Usually, once the male and female clams are combined, they will live and die together. Their shells often grow together, and their appearance looks like a butterfly. Even if they are separated by external forces, once one of them dies, the other will die no matter how far apart they are.

Once an explorer found a "acacia clam" in the sea. By chance, he accidentally brought the shell of a female clam home and gave it to his wife. He made the shell of the male clam into an ornament and carried it with him. He said to his wife: No matter how far apart we are, when you miss me, look at this shell and you can hear me singing for you. After going out to sea once, his wife became ill due to longing for him. When she was about to die on the bed, she wrote a parting message on the shell and burned it in the fire. On that day, the adventurer was on a snowy peak, hunting a snow monster. He saw his shell slowly getting hot, and then a strange message appeared on the shell. Not long after, the shell spontaneously combusted and turned into a pile of white ash. When the adventurer returned home, he found that his wife had died of illness, and that parting message became his wife's last words to the adventurer...

So far, the fact that the acacia clam can convey information has spread quickly. Many nobles like to buy acacia clams and distribute them to their loved ones to confirm whether their relatives in distant places are safe, and in case of emergency, it is also convenient to contact. Among the 65-person expedition team, there are children from aristocratic families. Although they are excited to step into the richest center of Xinliu Valley for adventure, they are also worried about their own safety, so someone left an acacia clam for their good friends in other teams to keep.

...Beautiful dividing line...

Hank and I heard that Thomas and his team had encountered difficulties, which was told by a nobleman, and his words were full of worry.

We were also happy and worried when we got this news. It was obvious that this elite team had some gains on the main peak of the floating mountain in the central area, and they had found their way home. The current problem was that they were not sure of defeating the guardian beast of the one-way transmission channel, and the way home was blocked. Although the specific situation was not clear, it was already very clear.

The noble was planning to organize a group of new people to go to the central area to support his friends, but the students who stayed here were all incompetent students. It was a bit difficult for them to hunt wild beasts in the dense forest, not to mention crossing the one-way transmission gate to participate in the melee in the central area. And the most important thing was that they needed to kill the beast guarding the transmission gate together to return to the mountain rock gathering place safely.

Many people were not willing to take risks. After all, more than ten students had died in this expedition, and almost every time it was related to hunting large monsters. So many people refused. They would rather go to the farther mountains and forests to collect ordinary magic herbs, or dig stones under the rocks, than take risks in the central area. In addition, the team outside was not in a desperate situation. There were elite teams from other colleges willing to help them. Although the price was a bit high, there was always a way.

Ying Li also disagreed with me taking risks. The reason why I gave in was very simple. She held a public voting activity for the team. The result was that the girls in our team had an absolute advantage in numbers, and they all raised their hands to support Ying Li's decision. Therefore, the idea of ​​sneaking into the central area to help Swift and his elite team was shattered.

In Ying Li's words: As long as half of the resources are sacrificed, can't we return safely?

Entering the main peak means that there is a chance to meet the girl Le Die riding a dragon. I am a little curious about her. I even hope to meet her and take a closer look at how similar she is to Ying Li. However, Ying Li obviously does not want us to meet. Although she does not mention this, I can sense her little thoughts.

I pursed my lips and looked at Ying Li. Ying Li shyly lowered her head and refused to look at me.

In fact, for me, it feels good to have someone to restrict me. I finally found a sense of existence in such a strange world. In such a vast journey of life, I am so lonely after leaving Kuz, Sister Guoguo, Qige, and Catalina. I am like a lone traveler in the desert. There is no end and no direction in the road ahead, but I can't turn back. Let me keep going hard like this.

I sat on a haystack piled up with bundles of silver grass, squinting my eyes at the void above the sky, watching the winding flow of time and space in the distance constantly changing. Ying Li curled up sideways, hiding her snow-white calves under her skirt, one hand on her knee, the other hand holding her body, and looked up at the starry sky with me.

I suddenly asked her: "Can legendary magicians really rely on their own strength to travel through the void and explore unknown planes?"

"Yes! The new planes are all the coordinates drawn by those strong men when they travel in the void, and then his students draw precise portals to open up new planes. My teacher can make short trips in the void. It is said that it is a very mysterious feeling." Ying Li's blurred eyes always looked at the time and space turbulence in the distance, and then said: "When that group of time and space turbulence swallows us here, it will be the day for us to go home."

"Do you miss home?" I asked her.

She shook her head, retracted her gaze and looked at me deeply and said: "Sometimes I even want to sit like this, and time will never stop."

The big star once again covered the entire sky above Xinliu Valley, which made me feel that I was in the end of the world again. The whole world seemed to be destroyed at any time. My heart kept beating faster and faster, and the blood in my body began to violently collide everywhere. I even wanted to run out and roar to the night sky.

The second dark night of Xinliu Valley has arrived. The entire star covered Xinliu Valley, plunging it into darkness. Only the edge of the big star had some light, which looked like a huge silver ring. In an instant, we fell into darkness. There were bonfires dotted around the rocky gathering place. Our haystack was completely immersed in the night. Ying Li took the opportunity to snuggle in my arms.

Only under the cover of darkness would she be bolder.

... Beautiful dividing line...

The noble boy found Hank again. Hank had no interest in his proposal, but the two had been friends since they were in El City. Hank was a little embarrassed by the noble boy's request. He looked at his team members. The two shield warriors simply turned their heads to the side and whispered to themselves, pretending not to hear the conversation between the noble boy and Hank. The other team members also looked indifferent.

Everyone was not interested in the main peak in the central area. After getting so much red copper, this trade route with the goblins was completely opened. With these rare magic metal resources, the entire Hank team has become the team with the most harvests among all the teams. However, this is just the beginning. Next, there will be more goblins gathering in the cave. They are looking forward to Hank carrying food to exchange for the ores they have not used at all.

The night before yesterday, Hank secretly gave me five malachite. I didn't expect that in just two days, those goblins really gathered here in the cave. The influence of the goblin village chief is also very large. We can gather so many goblins in such a short time, but the problem is that our carrying capacity is limited after all. Even if everyone is fully loaded, we can't bring back all the red copper ore in the end.

Originally, I thought that the rare red copper ore was an extremely rare thing, but once it piled up like a mountain, there would be an illusion that it was like grass. The goblins felt the same way. The old goblin even offered with a melancholy face that he could exchange less meat as long as he could take all the copper and copper ore away.

Hank and I refused verbally and promised not to give less meat. Then we discussed with the old goblin that we would return to the surface first, transport the copper ore back, and then return with a large amount of meat. Now we asked the old goblin to buy the copper and ore brought by the goblins from all over the world on our behalf, and told him: We only want copper!

In fact, I still had some extra saber-toothed tiger meat in my pocket, so this tiger meat became the deposit for our next transaction.

Hank even asked me to go into the mine with him again, just to bring out the copper in exchange for the deposit, but Ying Li's whispers in my ear had not yet dissipated, so how could I agree to his request?

Finally, I had no choice but to free up two magic waist bags and give them to Theresa, asking her to help put the red copper into the magic waist bag and bring it back for us. Almost all the items in my waist bag were piled in the girl's big tent, including the nine saber-tooth tiger skins and other materials, as well as some of my daily necessities. Ying Li silently asked Helena to put my daily necessities into her magic waist bag, and the rest of the saber-tooth tiger skins and other materials were all piled in the material pile outside.

When the young noble saw that our cargo pile was full of red copper and saber-tooth tiger materials, he finally gave up lobbying and left with a sigh in silence. He was well-informed and could naturally judge the value of our goods. I am afraid that even if the annual trading volume of El City was, there would not be so much red copper.

In the next one or two days, Hank and his team members returned to the underground world.

Darwin and Rita followed them. Seeing their energetic appearance, I knew that they had a new goal in life. Maybe this time when Rita returned to El City, she could buy a new house of her own with her grandmother, or renovate the old house. In short, for Rita, creating wealth with her own hands is a very happy thing.

After saying goodbye to Rita and Darwin, the small tent almost became a decoration. I spent the whole day drawing the magic scroll of "hydrotherapy" in Yingli's tent. The new magic paper is not the lowest-level magic parchment, but I directly cooked a piece of saber-tooth tiger skin, cut it into a square shape like a magic scroll, and then directly drew a series of "hydrotherapy" magic scrolls on it with a magic engraving pen.

For this, I paid a great price. Even if I sold the saber-tooth tiger skin alone, the price would not be much different from selling magic scrolls.

But now, all teams need the magic scroll of "hydrotherapy". Even if there are injured people who need the leather of the saber-toothed tiger king, I will cut it without hesitation at the critical moment. Only when people are alive can they have value...

All the expedition teams in the gathering place are happy about my return. They will not give up such a rare opportunity, especially since I always respond to requests before. As long as someone asks, I will never refuse. Now, the injured members of those teams directly carry them to the entrance of my tent and ask me to treat them.

In fact, it is also a very simple thing for me. Facing their injuries, I miss the childhood when old Kuru kept repeating in my ears. He always liked to let me remember the formulas of those herbs firmly in my heart. Therefore, during this field expedition, these alternative methods of using herbal medicine were spread among the students of the War College.

Even some magic apprentices from the same class took advantage of the time to return to the mountain rock gathering place to rest and come to see me. They said to me: "Ji Jia, no wonder you want to learn auxiliary magic. It turns out that you are a natural healer. Are these medical skills inherited from your family?"

I can only say: "Actually, I learned this from an old orc in the wilderness."

"Orc tribe herbal medicine, my God, Ji Jia, you actually know this, you are really my idol..."

Sometimes, the students who come here are a little exaggerated. I know they are also a little embarrassed, but we don’t have much contact in normal times, and they don’t know how to get close to me. I began to miss Bobby a little.

When it comes to Bobby, this guy came back with the group once. He was obviously thinner, and secretly told me that all three "hydrotherapy" scrolls were used up. Every time he was in action, he was most afraid that a team member would get hurt. He really had no way to deal with it. His magic robe had long disappeared. Now he was wearing a set of light leather armor, which made him look more energetic. The eyes on his big fleshy face were still so small.

I secretly stuffed five "hydrotherapy" scrolls into his arms. He widened his eyes and said to me, "Why do you have more? I actually just want some bandages, detoxification bandages and hemostatic bandages. You know, the bandages you invented are very effective. Really, many people in our team talk about you, and of course... even more talk about the girls in your team, they are so beautiful!"
