My Magic Age
Chapter 671 171. The Grand Duke's Palace in Durva Province
A huge magic teleportation array is set up on the lawn next to the fountain of the Magic Academy. Those metal pillars engraved with magic patterns exude a really strong magical atmosphere. The huge time and space teleportation gate is like the teleportation arrays I have seen before. The doors are different. The teleportation door is no longer like an ancient mirror, but like a crack in time and space, and countless tiny magic particles are constantly being sucked into the empty crack.
The neatly arranged Royal Academy of Magic students had different expressions. Some looked extremely excited, while others looked extremely nervous. Some looked around curiously, while some kept chatting with their friends around them. I don't seem that nervous, but for magic students like us, there are not many opportunities to travel across planes, so many people are extremely looking forward to this trip to the Hierro plane.
Noah and I got together amidst the protests of some students in the back.
The first thing Noah said to me was that the members of the Dragon Society have been trying to cause trouble for me in the past few days, but unfortunately they can't find me. But this matter has gone viral in the Royal Academy of Magic. Almost everyone knew that I had offended someone from the Dragon Society and that I was in big trouble.
Shirley Newman, wearing a magic suit with a light gray top and trousers, popped up from behind Noah, smiled at me and said hello, she patted my arm and whispered to me: "Ji Jia, my friends and I will be on your side!”
I smiled gratefully at her. It seemed that the incident about William of the Dragon Society had become known to everyone in the Royal Academy of Magic.
The Dragon Club has always occupied the top spot as the first club in the Magic Academy. This is also because almost every new class of freshmen has been reporting, there will be one or two dragon-blooded mages, either relying on the family's magic inheritance or blood inheritance, becoming Very rare dragon wizards. It is said that some powerful fourth-turn dragon wizards can learn the forbidden spell-level magic 'Dragon Summoning', and those dragon blood wizards can transform into powerful dragon warriors who are half human and half dragon.
After hearing the news about Noah, I was speechless for a moment. I didn't expect that the reason why I was at odds with the Dragon Society for no reason was because of Le Die.
Noah still looked careless. He touched the leather armor I was wearing and asked me with admiration: "Why are you dressed like this? The style of this leather armor... is really impressive." Quite special, oh my God! You actually gave up the magic robe that the magician is most proud of. What on earth did you think of wearing a leather armor with magic patterns like those warriors? "
Before I could answer, he let out a "tsk tsk" sound of admiration and asked me in a low voice: "This leather armor battle dress is very fashionable in style, and the magic patterns on it are also very exquisite. Tell me, you are going out these days. Is it because of this magic pattern structure? "
Noah guessed that I disappeared after taking leave during this period to get myself such a magic pattern structure.
With a wry smile on my face, I put my arms around his shoulders, pulled the hem of the leather armor with my hands, and said to him: "This set of magic pattern structures was almost all given to me by Scholar Yerkes. I have dealt with some of it these days. It’s a private matter, you’ll find out later.”
Noah saw that I was very strict and refused to say anything, so he stopped asking. Instead, he looked at the leather armor on me with great interest, looking very interested.
I heard him ask me: "Jijia, you are really a different kind of magician. Although the main purpose of our Sword and Rose Society is to find a fighting method that combines magic and martial arts, ordinary members also have to wear magic. In robes, they hold magic swords, mysterious swords, spell blades and other weapons in their hands. They can only block the assassin for a moment when they are suddenly attacked. This is enough. Why do they have to wear one? Leather armor?”
I exposed the ax handle in my magic belt bag, patted it, and said to Noah, "Of course it's for the convenience of fighting!"
Noah asked me in surprise: "You are wearing such a leather armor, do you really want to fight those people in close combat?"
"Of course!" I answered without any hesitation.
Noah stared at Luka and Kalantso for a long time, and then whispered to me half-jokingly: "You two strong orc retinues match your leather armor style very well."
Seeing that I was speechless for a while, he added: "I have never seen anyone in the academy with such a cool orc retinue!"
The team was advancing little by little, and the magicians from the Royal Academy of Magic lined up and walked into the teleportation magic circle. The teleportation circle is like the bloody mouth of a giant beast.
When I looked towards the teleportation magic circle, William happened to be about to enter the teleportation magic circle. He seemed to feel my gaze. He turned his head and saw me in the crowd. There was obvious surprise on his face. Then with that insidious smile.
The friend next to him also looked over curiously, glanced at me casually, and thought I looked very ordinary. He turned around and smiled playfully at William. He didn’t know what he said, which made William’s face look a little unnatural. . At this time, the magic teacher guarding the door of the teleportation magic circle began to urge them, and the two of them walked into the teleportation magic circle together, disappearing into the magic circle along with the mana particles.
When Noah followed my gaze, William and his friends had already walked in. Noah didn't even see their backs. Noah didn't see the strange look on my face, and he still looked interested. Bobo said to me: "The day before yesterday, Princess Sha came to the academy specifically to see you, but it's a pity that you weren't here."
Noah and I chatted while slowly moving forward with the long queue.
Next to the student team, stood a whole row of retinues. Almost every retinue carried large and small packages on their backs. Even the shield warrior retinues beside Noah were like this. Only Kalancso beside me and Minotaur Luka, the two of them only wore a simple suit of armor, and even Minotaur Luka's armor was stained with some dried blood.
Kalantso carries a two-handed sword on his back, while the tauren Ruka has a double-edged axe. No human warrior can ever look down upon an orc warrior. Looking back on the great and small differences between orcs and humans in the past few hundred years, In small-scale battles, if there are no magicians and priests to rely on behind the human race, then the orc warriors will completely defeat the human warriors in all aspects.
Finally, it was Noah's turn to walk into the huge black hole that was like a rift in time and space. When I stepped into the teleportation magic circle, the rich space magic elements wrapped around my whole body, like a huge silkworm cocoon. , and then walked through the endless darkness without controlling those huge cocoons. I felt that there were countless cocoons around me flowing in the same direction, forming a river in the darkness.
Everything around me is unknown. I know that those endless darkness are the rifts in time and space. Once lost here, the consequences will be disastrous. Everyone will have an inexplicable fear of the unknown, even if it only takes a few breaths. , I saw a beam of light shining in from the front, and countless black silkworm cocoons poured into the door of light, but I still felt as if I had been waiting for centuries.
It wasn't until I rushed out of the door of light that my feet stepped on solid ground, and my heart hanging high in the sky finally fell back to its original place.
Noah's face next to me didn't look much better than mine. His face was pale, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. Before we could take a breath, the guards on the side urged him and said: "Young magicians, Sir, please follow the stone steps and go out in the order of the team. Please don't stop and crowd at the door of the teleportation array. There are people coming out one after another, so don't stop."
On the other side, there was a female voice like a silver bell that kept saying to us: "Welcome all the proud students of the Royal Academy of Magic to the residence of the Duke of Samoyed. This is the Grand Duke's Palace in Durva Province. On behalf of the Duke, I would like to welcome you all. Please go to the main dining room of the Duke's Palace to dine first, and then someone will arrange for you to have a short rest, and then enter the time and space gate of the Hierro plane in order. "
Seeing the tauren Luka and Kalantso following closely behind me, Noah and I squeezed into the chaotic flow of people. As the crowd slowly moved forward, Noah's two retinues were also carrying The heavy package followed us, and we didn’t know what kind of mess he had brought. The two big packages looked like two big sacks, carrying so much supplies. If we were to practice in the wild, we would not wait for the danger to come. A subordinate would be completely overwhelmed by these two large bags of supplies.
But I didn't raise my doubts, because looking at the followers of other magic students, everyone had such an exaggerated and huge backpack.
This is a huge castle made of dark gray giant strips of stone. We are in the back garden of the castle. The lawn in the garden is trimmed very evenly, and the ornamental dark green shrubs are trimmed into neat circles by the gardeners. , the center of the garden is a large pool, and a beautiful jade corridor is built next to the pool.
Standing in this garden, you can see the main building complex on the side of the castle, those tall and towering spire-shaped buildings, majestic and solemn, with narrow round-arched thin glass windows, each tower-shaped building has , they are arranged regularly and neatly, and in the bright glass windows, there are even some eyes full of curiosity, staring at the back garden. I guess those may be the family members of the Duke of Samoyed's Mansion.
I sighed: "It turns out that the portal leading to the Hierro plane was built in the mansion of the Grand Duke of Samoyed!"
Walking in the back garden of the huge Duke's Palace, I kept poking my head and looking around. I felt a disdainful gaze in a glass window. Looking past that gaze, a graceful figure quickly disappeared in front of the glass window, leaving only I saw a familiar figure from behind, but unfortunately I didn't see that person's face.
Noah was extremely familiar with everything in the Duke's Mansion and said to me: "Of course, there is no safer place than here. Those planes are considered the private property of the Dukes, so these portals will be built in the safest places." place. If we want to go to the Hierro plane for training, we need permission from the Duke of Samoyed.”
Noah said as he walked: "All adventure groups that go to the Hierro plane also pay a certain head tax and teleportation fees at the Duke's Palace, and only after presenting legal credentials will they be allowed to enter the Hierro plane."
"Do you still have to pay a poll tax?" Xue Li asked in surprise. She also knew nothing about these plane teleportation systems.
Noah turned to look at her, smiled slightly and said, "Of course, they can only do it after paying the poll tax, whether they are doing business in the Hierro plane, exploring unknown areas, or becoming mercenaries of a certain legion. There will no longer be any restrictions.”
He has recovered from the time-space confusion. He put one hand around my shoulder and the other hand around Shirley's slender waist. A youthful vigor and vitality appeared on his face. He explained to Shirley and me, "The next time they pay taxes is when they decide to return to the Green Empire from the Yello plane and pass through this teleportation gate. The tax officer will count all the property and pay 8% personal income tax to the Duke's Mansion, which is also a source of income for the Duke's Mansion."
I asked Noah curiously, "Don't you have to pay 60% of personal income, 30% for the Duke and Charles the Great, and only 40% for yourself?"
Noah laughed loudly. He seemed very happy. There were some things I didn't understand.
Then he said, "Oh! Dear Jijia, I think you must have made a mistake. The so-called 334 split refers to the split of the open plane territory, not the personal wealth. Only the plane owner has the right to pay a certain amount of tax on the wealth obtained on the plane. This tax rate is only set by the Duke."
I thought to myself: The resource-rich plane can have so many benefits. Not only can I lead people to expand the territory, but I can also recruit adventure groups to explore. It turns out that this can be done.
Just when I was stunned, Noah patted my shoulder, and the three of us followed the flow of people and walked into a tall building.
Kalancuo and Luka were stopped by the waiters of the castle, and then they were led to the corner of the lawn in the castle garden. There were rows of long tables full of exquisite food. Many followers were holding plates, picking and choosing on the tables full of food, and then taking their own plates of food, sitting on the lawn while resting and eating, very casual and comfortable.
Kalancuo and I didn't have dinner yesterday and were hungry all night. Fortunately, the bull-headed man Luka ate half a baked wheat cake last night.
In the morning, we didn't have time to eat anything. We took the magic caravan directly to the Royal Magic Academy. Now we are already starving. Seeing those times, I have the urge not to leave.
Kalancuo looked at me hesitantly, and still followed the waiter with Luka to the buffet.
Seeing the exquisite food on the table, all kinds of exquisite pastries, fried potatoes piled up like a mountain on the silver plate, and golden white bread sticks in the wicker basket, Luka had a simple smile on his face, and he held a whole plate of fried potatoes in his arms, and then took out five arm-thick white bread sticks from the wicker basket and clamped them under his armpits, strode to the pool, put the huge bull head into the pool to drink, and then sat down against the fence of the pool, grabbed a white bread stick without hesitation and started to chew.
The waiter was stunned. Perhaps he had never seen a minotaur warrior eat.
When Noah and I walked into this huge pointed building, we found that it was filled with long tables and chairs. People sat on those long tables and chairs one after another. Noah and I were at the back of the line. When we walked into the main restaurant, most of the benches were already full of people. We looked around every corner of the long table, trying to find an ideal seat.
Then I suddenly found that there were a few empty seats on the long table opposite Qige and Lucia. Some students from the magic academy walked over and tried to greet Qige, but they were all coldly dismissed by Qige. For a while, no one dared to sit opposite the future princess. Lucia was also happy to be free. Her suitors could only watch from a distance, but no one had the courage to sit in front of Qige.
I took the opportunity to pull Noah and Shirley and walked over directly. In full view of everyone, I sat down opposite Qige. Lucia looked at me in surprise, then smiled reservedly and nodded politely to me in a very aristocratic manner. Qige saw me sitting down, and her face seemed to be covered with frost.
Noah knew that Qige and I were good friends, so he didn't think it was a big deal. He ordered food from the maid in the castle. Shirley, who was standing next to him, seemed a little nervous. The person sitting opposite was a teacher of magic potion, and the other was the leader of the Sword and Rose Club. Either of them was enough for Shirley to look up to, so she was a little nervous.
I naturally called the maid and asked for a half-cooked Thunder Rhino Eye Steak and a Secret Mane Beast Rib, as well as a portion of mashed potatoes and a sweet soup. After ordering, the maid in the castle would immediately place a silver plate, a knife and a spoon in front of that person.
Soon, a series of waiters came with huge trays filled with delicious food and placed them in front of me...
