My Magic Age

Jumping off a carriage, I found that the streets here are far less spacious than those in the East District. There are even low walls trimmed with low bushes on both sides of the streets in the East District, completely separating the sidewalks and carriage paths. Here It is the northern district of El City, which we usually call the civilian area. Although the stone roads are still smooth, each street is not too wide. The flow of people and horse-drawn carriages are intertwined, forming a splendid scene of busy traffic.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, but most of them are simple small storefronts. Various small processing workshops also stand along the street. Closely adjacent to the civilian area is the largest slave market in El City. According to Bobby, this is the place with the worst security in the city. Thieves, liars, gangsters, and gangsters all gather here to make a living.

There are a variety of businesses here, with all kinds of cheap snacks, leather, paper, and blacksmith workshops mixed together. The whole street is filled with all kinds of noisy sounds. A team of hard workers carrying heavy goods, with their bare and bronze upper bodies coming from When I walked by, they looked cautious, but the heavy cargo made every breath they took become very heavy. Some peons even had slaves on their necks. The copper ring of identity became a sign, and some peons had tattoos on their faces that could indicate the status of prisoners. An overseer with a whip in his hand walked at the front of the team, leading the pair of peons to the destination. , at the end of the team followed a few businessmen, with several maids holding umbrellas for them. They were wearing exquisite robes, and seemed to be chatting about the recent hot weather, which had not rained much.

There is a dirty sewage channel next to the street. The black and greasy sewage exudes a pungent smell of industrial soap. Several children wearing only a tattered piece of linen around their waists are standing there. Squatting on the edge of the ditch, he carefully scooped out the grease floating in the ditch with a small wooden spoon and put it into a black, smelly wooden bucket surrounded by flies.

In the North District of El City, people are accustomed to a fast-paced life. Underneath the bustling traffic, there are countless interests.

The reason why I dared to run out alone during my training was because of the new news brought by Moraya and Sophie yesterday. After many negotiations with the Magic Academy, the security camp had dropped the charges against me. This means that the guard camp has finally focused its attention on Simon Joe and Oyacho. The knights have canceled their surveillance on me. This is really a good thing worth celebrating, and my heart is full of it. Jumping for joy.

After all, the subsequent progress of the Black Magic Hermitage in El City mainly relied on some clues I provided later. If Simon Joe's true face had not been exposed in the martial arts arena, the guard camp might not have known it until now. make any progress on this matter. All kinds of evidence prove that I am an upright magic apprentice who can fight against evil forces to the end.

I was wearing a clean gray robe and stood conspicuously in the street market. There are many teenagers like me on this street. They always like to wear their most decent clothes and hang out with their friends in this mixed crowd. Wandering the streets.

There are all kinds of people here, and there are also a variety of shops. This is an area where fights and fights occur. You may be able to see some excitement just by standing at the street entrance here. The most important thing is that all kinds of snacks here are very cheap. For many young people who are greedy for silver coins but don’t have enough money in their pockets, this place is simply a paradise.

Maybe you will buy a very good quality copper dagger from a stall in a small shop in the next second, but please don't care whether the dagger was stolen or picked up from a dead person.

A gorgeous carriage passed by me, less than ten meters away. The charioteer in the carriage stopped the fast-moving carriage in the middle of the road. The neighing of the two ancient Bolai horses shocked the pedestrians on both sides. , but taking a look at the emblem on the gorgeous carriage, I am afraid to avoid it. They all ducked away, and even looked respectfully at the carriage. The black door on the carriage opened, and a fat figure appeared at the door. The first thing that caught my eye was his belly like a cauldron. , squeezed out of the car door.

Bobby jumped out of the car with squinted eyes and a smile on his face. The moment his clumsy body landed on the ground, I felt the ground shake. He was wearing a gray magic apprentice-style robe. , and pinned the apprentice badge on his chest very coquettishly. Seeing me standing at the street corner looking left and right, he hurriedly waved to me, and then walked towards me. He smiled at me and said, "Jia, you came really early! I originally thought my home was closer here, but I didn't expect you to arrive first!"

A strong young man followed from the carriage, with a strange-style scimitar hanging from his waist. I felt that no one in the north of the Green Empire was good at concealing weapons. He must be a warrior from the wild tribe. Seeing that he never left the ground. Following Bobby, his eyes were like a knife, staring at every pedestrian who came close to Bobby. One hand was always on the handle of the knife, and his whole body was like a bow with a tight string. It felt like he was He is a dead soldier.

I looked curiously at this young man with bronze skin and black tower-like eyes like copper bells. He walked barefoot on the stone floor and had more than a dozen copper rings on his right ankle, which jingled as he walked. The noise.

Immediately behind him, there was another woman wearing a simple sarong made of white linen. Her graceful body was hidden under the sarong, appearing and disappearing as she walked. She exuded maturity. With a feminine charm, she held a seal leather parasol in her hand. She quickly jumped down from the carriage and trotted to Bobby's side, holding up the umbrella to protect him from the scorching sun.

After looking carefully, I discovered that she was actually a slave girl. She had a polished and shiny copper ring around her neck, with the following clearly engraved on it: Owner - Bobby. The text and seal are carved very smoothly on the copper ring, and you can tell at a glance that it was made by a master blacksmith.

I never expected that Bobby would have such a pomp when traveling. When he saw me looking at his entourage curiously, he quickly pulled me closer to the shadow of the parasol, put his arm around my shoulders and asked me with a smile: "Usually, I asked you out, but you were too lazy to come out. Why did you suddenly come out today? If you are interested, you want to visit the North District. Although it is also very interesting, compared to the more prosperous East District, the quality of the goods in the shops here is not the slightest bit worse. There are not too many good things and there is nothing worth shopping. There are so many thieves on the street, it’s really troublesome.”

Without waiting for my answer, he turned around and patted the strong young man with his big hand, and said to me ostentatiously: "This is my follower. His name is Bablu. He signed a contract with me and he can be trusted." Man, his sword skills are great!”

Then he glanced at the slave girl next to him, winked at me with a smile, and whispered: "You know, Milly didn't come with you today, so I dared to bring her out. She was my grandma when I woke up." A gift for me after entering the magic pool. She’s very charming, isn’t she?”

The two of us were walking shoulder to shoulder casually in the bustling streets of the North District. The passers-by on both sides were obviously more afraid of Bobby. They all gave way when they saw him approaching. Bobby was even more accustomed to it. Bablu kept close behind him. Following closely behind us.

"By the way, is your injury really healed? Why don't you take the opportunity to rest for a few more days? Life in the academy is really difficult. There will be endless magic runes to memorize and endless magic patterns to draw tomorrow. It’s really annoying to recite endless ancient Elvish language!” Bobby took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was walking on North Street in such a hot weather, and the heat wave hit his face while wiping the sweat. Ask me.

I replied: "Well, it's almost better. I'm going to take a rest. I'm worried that I will fail all the final exams this semester, so I plan to go back to attend classes early. I don't want to fail and fail to graduate from the Magic Academy!"

I smiled to myself. When I thought of Mrs. Joyce’s old-fashioned appearance, I really didn’t know if she would give me the green light during the final exam!

Bobby withdrew his eyes from an exposed street girl, reached out and grabbed a handful of crisp dates from the dustpan on the head of a vendor passing by him. Just as the vendor turned around, two yellow and orange jujubes appeared. The coin was thrown up by Bobby and flew accurately into the hawker's jacket pocket. The hawker nodded and bowed his head and thanked him again and again, then disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.

While throwing crisp dates into his mouth, he said to me vaguely: "Hey, that half-elf has been very active in the class recently. He is always in the limelight in class, very pleasing to the eye, and has won the favor of many teachers. You are also the Prince Charming in the hearts of countless girls. There are always blind girls who come to our class to send love letters. However, since you are no longer a carrier pigeon, you seem to be a lot more boring! "

I looked at Bobby in surprise, confirmed that I heard correctly, and repeated in disbelief: "Very popular?"

Bobby said with great certainty: "Well, that's right. Except for a few people in the class, almost everyone in the class is familiar with him. I feel that he is very easy-going, speaks very interestingly, and he is well-informed from the imperial capital." Guang. Among the boys, I am afraid that only Swift, Thomas, me, and Marvin are still wary of him. Among the girls, only Teresa and Yingli are cold to him! I always feel that this guy is trying to win people's hearts! "

Otherwise, in the deep-rooted thoughts of the people of the Empire, the most despised group of people are mixed-blooded people. Although half-elves have a nobler bloodline, they will never change some people's minds based on this! Why did they accept the half-elf so quickly and easily? I can't help but gain a new appreciation for Nichols' abilities.

After thinking about it, I found that I was a little distracted...

"Hey, hey, hey... did you hear me clearly?" Bobby pushed my shoulder hard.

When Bobby woke me up, I looked at Bobby apologetically and immediately replied: "It's very boring. What's there to hear?"

"Hey, I feel a little guilty when I hear you say this! Are you really not worried that this love rival who has transferred from school will steal your girl? You must know that girls have no immunity to the appearance of elves, let alone He is also a promising half-elf noble, and his magic performance is not bad either!" Bobby jokingly told me.

"Huh!" I snorted coldly, not wanting to talk to him about this anymore, as I had simply reached the end of the road.

There is a lively small market at the end of the road. At the entrance of the market is a stone tablet with four words engraved on it: Slave Market!

Yes, this is the purpose of my trip. In fact, I made an appointment with Bobby here to buy two slaves and take them back. After all, Su is too lonely to stay alone in Xinliu Valley. Find her two companions. Son, maybe he can take care of her life. The life of slaves is closer to that of civilians, and they know better how to survive in the wild. The reason why I asked Bobby to come with me was because he had boasted about the slave market to me.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the market, I was surrounded by a group of people. These people were dressed in ordinary clothes, but they were still clean.

A man in the crowd stood up first. He was rosy and full of energy. His bright eyes swept over me and Bobby. He immediately shifted his target to Bobby and began to lobby him: "This future magician Sir, please stay a moment, If you are willing to spend a little time and listen to my introduction, I guarantee that your trip will be worthwhile. In the slave market, you need a guide to guide you. Of course, if you trust me, I can also introduce it to you. Some of the best slaves in the market!”

It turned out to be some brokers waiting outside the market. They always sell themselves to some unfamiliar faces. Bobby and I were blocked at the door of the slave market for a while. Bobby's follower Bablu let out such a sound in his throat. Roaring like a lion, he touched the scimitar arsenal with his hand and took a sudden step forward. The full momentum forced the brokers to retreat one after another, making way for Bobby and me.

Only then did Bobby look at me in surprise. He opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. After being stunned for a moment, he leaned in my ear and said to me: "Jijia, do you want to buy a slave in the slave market?" ?”

I nodded and said, "Yes, I've wanted to come here for a long time..."

"Oh! Of course I am the best at this. I will take you to choose the best slave here. I can guarantee that no one is better at this than me. I can keep you with the least amount of money to buy it. The best quality!" After saying this, he glanced slightly to his side and motioned me to look at the person holding the umbrella behind him. He didn't say a word, but he was taking care of me meticulously from beginning to end. The woman holding Bobby looked really caring.

I was a little curious, wondering why Bobby was so confident in saying these things.

But he quietly whispered into my ear with a complacent expression and explained to me: "The largest slave owner in this slave market is one of my elders. He has always been very fond of me. If I bring friends here, He would never pass those old, weak, sick and disabled people with hidden diseases on to me!"

Just when Bobby was patting his chest and promising me that he could find the best slave for me, my eyes saw a little half-orc girl wearing only a tattered straw mat under the corner of the market entrance. She was five years old. At the age of six, he was already sallow and skinny from hunger, but his big innocent eyes were staring at the rows of the cheapest black bread hanging in the bakery across the street, so greedy that his eyeballs almost fell off!
