My Magic Age

Chapter 78 79. Promise in the Wasteland (Part 1)

The first ray of sunshine at dawn shines on this green wasteland that has just sprouted. Facing the rising sun, the four of us sat on the back of the Agui beast. Kuz sat at the front and acted as the driver on the neck of the Agui beast. The Agui beast was obviously not used to this new owner and seemed a little restless and snorted. Kurtz caressed the huge head of the Agui beast affectionately, and gently tried to move its curved horns. He took out a carrot from his arms and stuffed it into the big mouth of the Agui beast. The Agui beast immediately let out a cry. It hums happily, like the whistle of a sailing ship.

I stayed up all night last night, and finally let Sister Guoguo get her wish to see how frantically Qige and I drew the fire-gathering magic scroll. However, before setting off, I was already drowsy. Qi Ge was not much better. Originally, Sister Guo Guo wanted us to rest for half a day and follow the Storm Chaser adventure group into the wilderness at noon. It was nice to have someone to look after us during the first part of the journey, but we politely declined. Sister Singh carefully laid a thick blanket for me and Qige on the leather saddle on the back of Yagui. Qige and I were both very thin, and we could actually lie half in the saddle after sitting on it. Wrapped up in a blanket, he continued to catch up on his sleep. Catalina was responsible for taking care of the two of us to prevent us from accidentally falling in our sleep, which would be tragic.

Under the watchful eyes of Old Kulu and Sister Guoguo, our team quietly left the caravan camp and walked into the wilderness just before the sun rose.

I changed back into the stiff leather jacket again. Old Kuru said that the nights in the spring wilderness were extremely cold, and told me to pay attention to keeping warm and cold. What he was most worried about was whether I could adapt to this wilderness. After all, we and Kuz The difference is that Kurtz grew up under this blue sky and white clouds, but I am different. I have lived in a caravan since I was picked up. I have never been anywhere except the caravan. This wilderness is full of novelties for me. and strange places.

I curled up in the saddle, following the very rhythmic footsteps of the Agui beast, and I couldn't sleep peacefully. I was so drowsy that I couldn't sleep anymore until the sun had risen. The strong sunlight made it hard for me to open my eyes. I put my hands over my eyes to build a shelter and squinted my eyes to look into the distance. Go, the vast wilderness is covered with There is endless dead grass, and the dilapidated dry alfalfa has been trampled to pieces by livestock. Just under the withered yellow hay, new green has grown. The sparse pasture about half a foot high is swaying in the cold wind, and the roots have been frozen into lavender. .

Qi Ge was still sleeping next to her. She was smart enough to wear an eye mask, so she was not awakened by the dazzling sunlight. She wore a lotus-colored striped magic top and trousers, and a pair of high-top long leather shoes. She probably tied the neckline tightly because she was afraid of the cold wind in the wilderness. This lotus-colored striped magic robe and trousers also has a lot of history. It is a school uniform belonging to Greene Royal Junior Magic Academy. It is attached with the most practical magic pattern array for magician apprentices. It is said to increase the speed of spell casting, and According to Qige, this school uniform also has a very famous name called "Dedicated Magic Suit", which makes me very envious.

Qige once said to me secretly: What are the benefits of following the magician Guoguo back to El Town? The junior magic academy there is probably not able to fill a single class all year round, and there are no outstanding magic teachers to teach you magic. Why not come back to the imperial capital with me? With your ability, are you worried about not being able to support yourself? When Qige saw my magic talent, she decided that I would definitely become a magician like her. She secretly smiled like a fox and told me: We are all born magicians, born with magic talents. I didn't know what her magic talent was, and I didn't ask. I felt that it was not good to have too many secrets in my heart. It would be very tiring, and she didn't take the initiative to tell her. However, I ultimately did not agree to her invitation and decided to follow Sister Guoguo to El Town.

Katarina is wearing a set of slightly tight leather armor. This is a set of tight-fitting leather armor made of very beautifully crafted devil antelope skin. However, I think it was originally tailor-made for Qige, so she wears it on Katarina. After wearing it, you will look slightly thinner. The entire leather armor fully exposed Catalina's exquisite body curves. I was always worried that she would not be able to breathe because her chest was too tight. In fact, I thought too much. This leather armor is very soft and elastic. Well, the leather armor almost perfectly revealed her breathtakingly beautiful body, but it was always in the caravan. Catalina, who is known for her bold attire, was a little shy this time. She wrapped herself tightly in a black cloak and even wore a scarf on her head. Only her big red eyes were exposed, looking curiously at the surrounding wasteland. The scenery, and from time to time, I have to look after Qige who is sleeping soundly and me who wakes up in a daze.

"How far have you walked?" I stood up and looked in the direction I came from. I could no longer see the caravan camp. I could only see the undulating distant mountains on the horizon. The color became very pale at the edge of the sky. I could only see a rough outline. The outline of the mountain is the last shadow of the mountains in the north. As we gradually go deeper into the wilderness, the mountains in the north will completely disappear from our eyes.

Catalina looked at the sun above her head, pulled down the scarf covering her mouth and nose, revealed her fair face and red lips, and said uncertainly to me: "I've been walking all morning, it should be dozens of miles!" "

I looked towards the wilderness and saw a desolate scene. Seeing me licking my dry lips, Catalina took off the sheepskin water bag hanging from her waist and handed it to me. She followed me with her bright red eyes. He looked out and asked me a little confused: "Jia, there is nothing in this wilderness, where are we going to hunt?".

I think that even if we meet a large herd of bison, we will not be able to catch up with them. The Agui beast we are riding can only jog for a short time. Most of the time, it can only walk slowly, no faster than we usually walk. How much, but the advantage is that we can walk for several hours continuously, which is much better than measuring this wilderness with our own two legs. As for the hunting goals that Kuz and I set, in fact, at the beginning, Kuz and I just wanted to enter the wilderness, find the water source in Kuz’s memory, and hunt some lone devil antelopes there. Skins and sheep horns can be brought back to Gurudin Town to be sold. , or ask Uncle Fred to make us a cool light armor made of magic antelope skin. Kurtz has always shown off to us how tough and durable the magic antelope skin is. The warriors of their tribe wore it when they participated in the coming-of-age ceremony. A great suit of magic antelope leather armor.

After Kuz returns to Gurudin Town this time, he will also participate in such an adult ceremony. Being able to wear a cool antelope leather armor at Kurtz's coming-of-age ceremony was the first reason we decided to enter the wasteland in the first place. But now with what we encountered in Yemen Town, the magic antelope leather armor is no longer so important. After I have sharper weapons, I set my goal higher. This time we I hope to hunt a few wind wolves. Kuz’s alloy bow needs to be equipped with some wind wolf fang arrows. Not many of the fangs of the wind wolf can be used to make arrow clusters. Usually only four to six can be used. You need to collect one. We have to hunt at least five or six wind wolves for the Jufeng Wolf Fang Arrow.

One thing is very strange to me. Before leaving, Old Kuru looked particularly sad. Although he hid it very well, I could clearly feel his concern for us, as if he knew what dangers we would encounter when entering the wilderness, but But they had no intention of leaving us in the caravan, and instead eagerly let us enter the wilderness, which made me puzzled.

In fact, Old Kuru also has his reasons, but I think this reason is a bit far-fetched. Because we have Thunder Rhinoceros and Magic Caravan in our caravan, we need to bypass the Northern Foot Wasteland and Yelian Mountains to reach Gurudin Town. On the way When passing some orc tribes, we have to stop briefly. Master Leipas has to do business, and the dance troupe lady Gadisha wants to learn war dance from these tribes. Old Kulu wanted Kuz and I to travel across the entire northern wilderness in one and a half months, find the trail on the Yelian Mountains, take the Yagui beast over the mountains and arrive at Guruding Town early, and teach the poor orcs in the town how to make vermicelli. After the caravan arrives in Gurudin Town, we will sell these vermicelli to Mr. Leipas and ask him to bring the vermicelli made from sweet potatoes back to the Green Empire to complete our initial idea of ​​exchanging vermicelli for wine and food.

But I think this plan is just a preliminary idea. There is one issue that Lao Kuru has never considered in it, and that is the confidentiality work. Making vermicelli is actually not difficult to say. Once it is told to Mr. Leipas , no one can predict what will happen. After all, the tradition of humans not eating sweet potatoes has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But if you want to get a lot of cheap vermicelli, can you use other methods besides sweet potatoes?

I heard that the Stars Adventure Group set out into the wilderness yesterday, but Ming Qian and Dai's close friends stayed in the caravan. It is said that Ming Qian is still recovering from his injuries. I think they are recovering from their injuries, first and second. To wait for me I guess. If hitting Ming Qian with a coin the first time was an insult to him, then when I pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the neck the second time, we were enemies of life and death. A few of us quietly slipped out of the caravan before dawn, just to delay the encounter as much as possible, giving us time to make preparations and take advantage of the location.

I lay on the back of Yaguimon and looked at the blue sky. I felt like a bird under this vast sky.

"Hare, oh! Chia, we have lunch!"

Kuz, who was sitting in front, cheered and jumped off the head of the Aguimon like a monkey. While his body was still in the air, he already had his alloy bow in his hand and the arrow behind his back in the other hand. A fine iron feather arrow was pulled out of the pot. It just landed on the ground and rolled forward with the force of inertia, making the ground dry. Yellow grass clippings were flying. Kuz adjusted his body in the shortest possible time, half-kneeling on the ground, bow and arrow, and with a "swish" sound, the fine iron feather arrow flew forward against the grass. At this time, I was in front of Yaguimon. Following Kurtz's gaze on his back, he saw a fat rabbit sticking out his butt and munching on the grass fifty meters away.

The fine iron feather arrow formed a straight linear trajectory in the grass, broke through countless grass blades, and stabbed hard into the waist and abdomen of the hare. The arrow was so powerful that it actually took the hare weighing several kilograms away. A few meters away, the tip of the arrow stabbed into the mound. Kurtz and I were both a little stunned. Kurtz looked at the alloy bow in his hand in a daze, and turned to look at me with disbelief.

I walked over boldly, patted his shoulder and said, "That's a good shot!"

Kurtz nodded absently, even forgetting to pick up the rabbit.
