My Magic Age

In the hot summer, the entire imperial capital is like an extremely huge brazier. The leaves of the street trees hang down listlessly. On such an afternoon, it seems that the birds are hiding in the shade.

I think if there was no Weiyang Lake, maybe there would be no people here in the summer.

In addition to a few marshmallow-like white clouds in the blue sky, there is also a gorgeous floating city. Sometimes I wonder out of boredom whether the summer in that royal city will be as hot as on the ground. Maybe there is a cool wind there.

Maybe if you have time, you should ask Ying Li. I think she must know. She has been to the splendid palace.

A big yellow dog was lying under the shade of the sycamore tree at the door, with a long tongue sticking out, panting violently, squinting its eyes and always staring at Ebola curiously, although little Ella was already interested in that. A neighbor's big yellow dog repeatedly said "Deborah is one of our own" several times. But the dog seemed to be stubborn and wanted to keep a close eye on her.

Maybe Deborah’s wild aura has not been eliminated, maybe it’s because of the unique pair of wings on her back, maybe it’s because she still smells like a harpy, in short, she is not liked by the big yellow dog .

But on the way home, I patiently told Deborah some common sense knowledge, at least so that she would not hurt ordinary civilians on the street for no reason, nor because someone was peeking in on the street. We would piss off Deborah.

The people of the Imperial City have a strong curiosity, but they are also very friendly. They like to help others, just like the city is well-kept. The people of the Imperial City are very rule-abiding. They like to keep every courtyard They are all built squarely and are used to clean and tidy roads. They will despise those who wantonly disobey or break the rules.

They will think that those people are from the countryside, just like when I first brought Luka to the imperial capital, I was despised by Quentin Busman and his friends because my clothes were not decent enough.

…

Deborah and little Ella sat under the pergola, looking at each other with big eyes.

Little Ella tried several times to see the wings hidden under her clothes, but failed, but she still refused to give up.

Originally, I was worried that Deborah's unruly nature would hurt little Ella, but I never expected that these two would get along best.

Deborah was very interested in everything, and her eyes were full of all kinds of curiosity. She imitated the Minotaur Luca and picked a leaf of the golden alfalfa on the lawn and put it in her mouth to taste. She looked at it curiously. Holding the dagger on little Ella's waist, wanting to touch the hunting bow hanging on the wall, she would also drool while looking at the chicken on the cutting board in the kitchen.

This descendant of the Harpy Queen has a special preference for chicken. She almost ate all the chicken legs for lunch, which made little Ella extremely dissatisfied.

"These chickens belong to everyone, you should learn to share!" Although little Ella's eyes widened, she was still very frustrated to find that Deborah's fair face hidden in the big hood was very delicate. Then she glanced back at me subconsciously.

"Chicken, I like it so much, I'm hungry, and I don't want to share it! This... can the two of us... share it?" She pointed to the delicate and small dagger hanging on little Ella's waist and asked Ella.

Deborah still retains a bit of the nature of the harpy family - greed. (Although only a little)

"This was given to me by a friend and I can't share it with you. But those foods are what I plan to share with everyone. They belong to everyone here. We didn't eat at noon and we were all hungry..." Little Ella chattered on. I was arguing with Deborah, but most of the time, it was little Ella who kept talking.

Deborah doesn't know much of Imperial Capital and is very unfamiliar with it. Although she really wants to communicate with little Ella, she basically only listens.

It can be seen that little Ella must have suffered some hardships when she first entered the imperial capital. She was ostracized and looked down upon by others, but she had no one to tell her story to. Kalancso only knew how to make her more independent. , which belongs to the living standards of the orcs.

But she didn’t know the depression of little Ella living here alone. She left her friends, the familiar village and the land, and came to the imperial capital. She slowly became familiar with the rules here and learned how to interact with others. We have gained a lot of experience and experienced many setbacks while getting along with her. Now I see Deborah, a harpy who has lost her memory. Her heart is as pure as a blank sheet of paper and she is very curious about many things.

So Deborah became Little Ella's most loyal listener. She liked to listen to Little Ella talk about the things in the imperial capital.

The tauren Luka pulled out weeds on the lawn under the scorching sun. According to him, the weeds pulled out under the scorching sun can only be prevented by exposing them on stone slabs to prevent more weeds from growing. The rainy season has arrived, and as long as it rains After a rain, the weeds on the lawn will quickly appear in less than three days.

Luka was wearing large shorts, and his muscular upper body looked hairy. Sweat soaked his gray linen shorts along the fluff on his body. He squatted on the lawn, looking like a huge mountain of meat.

He has grown taller recently. Fortunately, when the ‘Melite Magic Pattern Heavy Armor’ was customized, even if it was designed according to Luka’s size, it was more comfortable to wear. Considering that he might return to El City in the future and become a falcon to hunt barbarians in the ice and snow outside the city in winter, the size was much larger when it was customized, so that at least he could wear a warm cotton coat inside the armor.

In fact, many times, I envy Luka very much. The Tauren is a natural warrior. Even if he lies in the shed and sleeps all day, his strength is slowly growing. For Luka, mowing the lawn is a good practice. For this reason, he even keeps the lawns on both sides of the street outside the yard neat and tidy.

Not long after Luka lived here, the neighbors around knew that there was a Tauren from the Pai Plateau living in this house. He had a gentle personality and loved flowers and plants. Those neighbors around were mostly kind by nature.

They usually felt pity for little Ella, but little Ella, who was stubborn and strong, did not like gifts from outsiders.

They would also peek at the beautiful Catalina, and perhaps point fingers at her charming figure standing on the terrace in a suspender skirt, but the men around her didn't dare to approach such a red-haired girl with long white legs and a beautiful face because the women around her were all looking at her. If the men of someone's family had the intention to peek, the whole street would know about it overnight. The women would not make friends with Catalina, mostly because they felt ashamed or because of their self-esteem.

The women in the imperial capital were still very proud, and they didn't want to be just green leaves to set off the red flowers.

As a result, only Luka had the most harmonious relationship with his neighbors. Whether standing in the yard or walking on the street, some men or women would greet him. Luka's honest voice and fluent imperial language also made him gain a lot of favor. There were even some naughty children who would run over with courage and ask Luka to sit on his shoulders to pick green apples from the tree.

Luka usually would not refuse such a request. Sometimes, he would even take out the vanilla baked oatmeal cakes with the flavor of the wilderness to entertain these children.

However, these children were very afraid of Ella and did not dare to break into the yard easily. It is said that the children were afraid of Ella's fist.

But in my opinion, this is also good. At least it can avoid a lot of trouble. Who knows when those naughty little guys will break in? After all, there are still many secrets hidden in this house.

…

Katerina stood in front of the drying line on the terrace on the second floor, hanging the washed clothes on it. The dazzling sunlight shone from behind her and shone on my face.

I lay on the bench in the yard, squinting my eyes to look at her well-proportioned body. The two slender and round legs looked full of vitality in the soft nightgown. The long red hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head. She seemed to feel my gaze and turned her head to smile sweetly at me. That kind of water-like tenderness melted in my heart all of a sudden.

During those days in Ayr City, I dreamed of the magic caravan that was more than ten meters long countless times. I dreamed of the sunlight shining through the car window into the narrow bedroom, the white sheets, the soft and fluffy quilt, lying in Catalina's fragrant arms, listening to her humming this beautiful ballad in my ear, opposite was Sister Singer's bed, occasionally Uncle Fred would sneak in and spend the night with Sister Singer, and I would also dream of Kong Zhen who washed our clothes. I don't know how she is doing in Haiyinsi now.

Catalina seems to prefer the peaceful days like now. The red-haired girl who was full of youth and vitality has now become a sexy and mature beautiful red-haired girl...

There was a neighing of a war horse at the street corner in the distance, followed by a few women's scolding voices on the street, and several children ran past the door. Seeing their panic, you don't need to guess that they must have caused trouble.

Little Ella certainly wouldn't miss such a lively scene. She ran out of the pergola, not caring about the scorching sun at all, and ran to the door to look out.

Deborah followed curiously. Her wings were bound in her gray apprentice robe, making it difficult for her to keep her balance. She dragged her feet as she walked, like a duckling by the lake.

In such a hot summer, wearing a big hood on her head made her look indescribably weird, but she was unaware and walked in front of the wooden fence, standing with little Ella and looking out.

The minotaur Luka stood up from the lawn in the yard and shouted to a child who was running away: "Little Tom, what happened?"

A running child heard Luka's shout, stopped immediately, turned around and answered loudly: "We were playing hide-and-seek on the roadside. Jane didn't notice the horse of the noble knight. She blocked the road and was almost stepped on by the horse of the knight. It was all Jane's fault!"

A short man squeezed next to him immediately echoed: "Yes, it's Jane's fault. Her mother is scolding her."

The faces of the two children were covered with sweat and dust. The skin of their arms exposed outside their clothes was red from the scorching sun. Sweat flowed down their cheeks, like leaving dry rivers on their faces. The two children were in a mess.

The older child who was called Little Tom by Luka added: "But the knight was a gentleman. He didn't blame Jane."

The little man next to him immediately said, "Yes, he is a good man. He did not blame Jane. He is a great gentleman."

The kid named Tom seemed a little impatient. He glared at the little man fiercely, then shrugged at Luka. Seeing that Luka didn't ask any more questions, he said to the little man: "Let's go over there to play." , it’s not safe here.”

The little man quickly agreed and said: "Okay, let's go there to play. We should have thought of playing there a long time ago. This time we don't want to take those girls with us. They will only make a lot of noises." Otherwise, it will only make things worse..."

The two children ran away in a hurry.

Little Ella leaned on the wooden fence at the door, with a look of helplessness on her face, and said to Deborah: "Did you see it? People in the imperial capital are all like this, they are all so old, and they are not mature at all. If we are In the orc village, they should all go to the forest to collect herbs, but look what they are doing What? They are still stupidly playing these boring games on the street, so I can’t say anything about them. A few days ago, that little Tom actually wanted to pull out a wooden fence in my yard and make a wooden sword for me. He was kicked twice in the butt, and guess what happened next? He actually cried after being beaten by me..."

Listening to little Ella's complaints, I realized what the difference is between the children of the orc tribe and the children of the empire.

Orc children can participate in the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of twelve, and they can learn to survive alone in the wild very early.

But these children in the empire had just reached the age of going to school when they were twelve years old. They had not even learned anything in the academy, and they did not even know the cruelty of war and the meaning of survival.

Perhaps in peaceful times, for these children of the empire, their lives were stable and happy.

But if a war breaks out, these children will still need blood and tears to help them grow.

This is why there is such disdain in little Ella's eyes.

At this time, a black scale horse wrapped in black iron armor came from the street and stopped slowly in front of my house.

Prince of Wales was wearing a black magic pattern structure, with an exquisite magic sword hanging on his waist, and a knight's lance hanging on the hook of the saddle bridge. He rode slowly over from the street, followed by a group of people. Team construct knights, these knights are all wearing exquisite magic pattern constructs, and they are all majestic.

Prince of Wales parked the black horse under the sycamore tree. He raised his head and happened to see Catalina, who was wearing a thin nightgown on the terrace, walking back to the room with a wooden basin. The expression on her unhappy face suddenly became very complicated. .

surprise……

Enlightenment...

wry smile……

Lost...

sigh……

remember……

upset……

Self-deprecating...

Those expressions were shown one by one on Prince Wales' face. He raised his head, his Adam's apple bulged slightly, and his eyes fell on Catalina, with a trace of regret and regret in his eyes. His eyes lingered back and forth on Catalina's body, his lips pursed slightly, but he didn't speak.

At this time, Catalina seemed to be aware of it and stopped. She slowly turned around and looked back. She happened to see Wells riding under the sycamore tree. Catalina looked a little embarrassed for a moment and curtsied to Wells. .

His eyes slowly changed from surprise to understanding, and he couldn't help but show a wry smile to Catalina. The disappointment on his face could not be concealed, and he sighed softly, his eyes seemed to be stuck in memories, There was infinite regret and a touch of self-deprecation on his face.

"Hi, Catalina, it seems we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Wells said to Catalina, "It turns out that the person you have been waiting for so long is actually Jijia!"
