My Magic Age

A group of us came to the lake and admired the blue lake surface. Although there was no sunshine, the lake water was still very warm.

In the center of the circular valley is a clear lake, which looks like a magnificent sapphire shining in the night sky from a distance.

A long golden river flows in the sky.

In the surrounding fields, mountains cover each other.

The whole mountain and forest seemed to be cheering for our arrival, and it was a peaceful place.

Looking around, there is only a world tree that is more than 100 meters high on the small island in the middle of the lake. It is hard to imagine that such a big tree that requires more than a dozen people to hold hands to surround it is actually just an immature seedling. .

Kalancso took us along the huge arched stone bridge, across several small lakes, and saw a green wheat field on the shore of the lake. Oh, how could it be a wheat field? It was a nursery of magical herbs. Now that A herb nursery has taken over the entire western shore of the lake.

Many different types of primary magic herbs are scattered along the shore of the lake, including styptic grass, one-leaf clover, peace of mind flower, kudzu root, etc. These primary magic herbs are covered by the halo of World Tree's first lord, 'Growth of Grass and Trees'. The growth cycle is shortened by nearly half.

Kalancso led us down from the arched stone bridge and stood next to a dark green field of magic herbs.

Ying Li leaned down and squatted in front of a magic herb. She gently plucked the oval leaves of a magic herb, and the air was filled with a faint bitter medicinal fragrance.

She was very familiar with the magic herbs in the nursery. She picked a leaf, put it under her nose, smelled it, and said to me: "These primary magic herbs should be kudzu. They are the ingredients of the Lion King potion..."

The Lion King Potion was originally just the most common strength potion, and not many people paid attention to it.

It was not until later that people discovered that the ninth-level warrior apprentices drank this strength potion and it had the auxiliary effect of helping them be promoted to warriors. This strength potion gradually became valued by people. The price of the Lion King Potion became higher and higher. It’s also becoming less and less.

The unique growing environment limits the popularity of these magical herbs. Unless they are planted in a magical ecological garden that simulates a specific environment, it will be difficult for them to grow in a general environment.

Ying Li stood up, looked towards the golden field in the distance, said "ah" and ran over with surprise on his face.

"Jijia, is daylily growing in this field? If the potion scholars in the Imperial City knew that you actually cultivated the main ingredient of the spiritual potion, I wonder what they would think." She said excitedly and stretched out her hand. He stretched out his hands to feel the mana contained in the air.

With a look of confusion on her face, she took out a medicine hoe from her magic waist bag, dug out some moist soil from the edge of the field, and gently crushed the moist soil with her hand, but she didn't seem to feel any difference.

Ying Li looked around, but still didn't see the reason, so he asked me: "I didn't expect that there would be such a large herbal garden here. This is not a magic ecological garden. How can so many kinds of magic herbs be grown?"

"The mountains, forests and fields of Xinliu Valley were originally very suitable for the growth of those magical herbs. I still remember when we were studying at the El City War College. We happened to catch up with the tide of time that occurs once every ten years and entered this world together. When I was in the world, the mountains and plains were full of primary magic herbs. Now with the help of the World Tree, I can only do it. The food is gone

"In the next ten years, those magic scholars in the ivory tower of Sloit City will probably not think that this floating mountain range has a new owner." Ying Li sighed.

Then, with a confused expression on her face, she asked me: "Tell me, what should those magic apprentices who enter here through the portal do, especially when they find that there is nothing here, will they be extremely disappointed in the end? leave?"

Listening to what Ying Li said, I began to think about how those young magic apprentices would feel when they entered the Xinliu Valley and saw that the mountains and forests were cleaner than a dog licked, and they could no longer find a single magic herb.

It's funny just thinking about it.

But when I think about it, I feel that it is a bit cruel.

When those young magic apprentices were just glad that they could catch up with the tide of time that occurs once every ten years, they could enter the Xinliu Valley through the portal. However, when they entered the Xinliu Valley, they found that all the magic herbs in the mountains had been picked. , I wonder if those young children will be so sad that they cry loudly.

I turned my head and glanced at Kalantso, smiled and joked to her: "When the apprentices discover the orc village by the stream, they will definitely mistake it for the aboriginal people of Xinliu Valley."

Kalancso stood aside and said: "When the time comes, I will restrain the orcs in the village not to harm those young apprentices unless they do something extraordinary!"

Delicate pear dimples appeared on Yingli's face, and her smile was full of demureness.

I had an idea and half-jokingly said to Ying Li: "Maybe we should open a goblin shop at the underground entrance of the tree hole. You said those young people will see a goblin sitting at the shop counter seriously. What's your mood?"

Ying Li did not answer my question, but winked at me, and then continued my topic: "You can put some magic potions in the store, such as spiritual potions or lion potions."

Helena beside her leaned over and said, "You can also put some magic materials, such as the fur of the white-spotted saber-toothed tiger, magic copper, and malachite."

Becky on the side also said, "You can also put a few primary magic pattern structures and magic scrolls, and ironwood hard bows are also fine, but they must be specialties of Xinliu Valley..."

I suddenly thought of a kind of 'treasure hunting game that I have seen many children playing in the streets and alleys of El City'. At that time, I always liked to stay in the attic and had never experienced the joy of that game. I am afraid that every child in El City, except me, will have this experience in childhood.

So I said, "Yes, I think we can also give them appropriate discounts, such as the first magic apprentice who finds the goblin shop, magic items are half price, and the first warrior apprentice who finds the shop, magic pattern structures and weapons are half price. At that time, I just hope that they can bring enough gold coins and magic crystals with them to see who can be the luckiest person!"

Katerina stood aside, not saying anything, just looking at me with a smile.

Kalancuo carefully wrote down what I said. After all, among us, she was the real manager of Xinliu Valley.

At this time, a beast girl in a linen dress stood up from the ridges of the nursery, looking at us with a confused face, holding a hoe in one hand and a handful of weeds in the other hand. Her thick hair was tied into a ponytail, and her wheat-colored skin was shining under the starlight.

Then, her eyes locked on Kalancuo in the crowd, and she immediately showed a relaxed smile, holding the weeds in her hand, and waved to Kalancuo with great joy.

Kalancuo didn't want to disturb the manager of the herb garden, but just waved to her, indicating that she didn't need to come over and just work over there.

We just wanted to stroll around the fields and take a look at this beautiful valley.

Then, Ying Li was surprised to find a field of flame grass and wild steel flower seedlings.

"Oh, what's that over there? Flame flowers? There are also wild steel flowers. I heard that the scholar Abel cultivated some second-level magic herbs in the water ecological garden in the Royal Magic Academy. I didn't expect you have them here too!" She looked at the nursery and said excitedly.

I actually wanted to tell Ying Li that the seeds of these magic herbs were stolen from the medicine garden over there, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. After all, it's not a glorious thing.

...

A colorful short-tailed pheasant suddenly emerged from a bush. It ran through a bush in panic, and its slender claws stepped on the sand, leaving a series of clear footprints.

Little Ella stood up from the bush, holding a small hunting bow in her hand, and shot five arrows in one breath, but unfortunately they all fell on the sand behind the colorful short-tailed pheasant. It actually missed, and little Ella was so angry that she hit her fist back fiercely, and probably uttered an orc slang in her mouth, but she didn't make a sound.

At this time, the bushes shook again, and Deborah also came out of the bushes, but she looked a little embarrassed, with a bloody mark on her face and a few grass leaves on her hair.

Her eyes were also fixed on the fast-running colorful short-tailed pheasant, watching the pheasant running on the sand with surprise.

This is a kind of sand pheasant native to the round valley. It is light and agile. It is not only good at running on the sand, but also can fly nearly a thousand meters with its wings spread. It is not only rare to see it, but also difficult to catch.

However, there are also excellent orc hunters who specialize in catching this colorful short-tailed pheasant for fun.

They like to make headdresses with the tail feathers of this sand pheasant, and also like to use this sand pheasant to make soup.

According to little Ella, this colorful short-tailed pheasant is very delicious.

Seeing that the colorful short-tailed pheasant had already run to the lake, it did not slow down at all, but continued to run faster. At the last moment, it pushed its legs hard against the ground, flew into the air, spread its wings and fluttered to the other side of the lake.

Little Ella put down the hunting bow in her hand with regret, and looked at the pheasant flying away with disappointment.

"Ella, I want to eat chicken."

"But it flew away, and I can't catch it!"

"I'll catch it..." Deborah said, stretched out her hand and tore off the gray magic apprentice robe on her body. The wings hidden in the robe spread out at once. One wing was a white feather wing, and the other wing was a black and gray flesh wing. The two wings were clearly distinguished.

Her innocent and fair face was in sharp contrast to her charming and sexy body, but her eyes were wild at this time, like a flying hawk. She bit her lips and stared at the colorful short-tailed pheasant that flew away. Her wings fluttered suddenly, and a whirlwind blew out of thin air.

In the surprised eyes of all of us, Deborah spread her wings and flew up, flapping her wings and turning into a shadow to chase the colorful short-tailed pheasant flying over the lake. The speed was so fast that I couldn't see the frequency of her flapping wings.

Ying Li looked at me in surprise and couldn't speak for a while.

Little Ella also covered her mouth and stared at Deborah flying over the lake.

Only Catalina praised me on the side: "Wow, she flies so fast!"

"She is... a harpy?" Kalancuo asked me doubtfully. Perhaps only the orcs living on the Pai Plateau would know about the harpies on the Night Wolf Cliff.

Ying Li asked me nervously, "No, this is a succubus. Jijia, have you reported to the Magic Guild that you have a pet?"

The people of the Empire hate these low-level demons as much as the Black Magic Hermitage, which is deeply hidden in Green. Generally, after discovering traces of the demons, they will dispatch the law enforcement team of the Magic Guild. Those law enforcers are Composed of elite magicians from previous magic academies, they will conduct a series of investigations on these demonic creatures.

The reason why Ying Li was nervous was that he was worried that I would be entangled by those members of the law enforcement team. Once I was entangled for questioning, things would become very troublesome.

"She was originally a harpy with royal blood... She became like this after she was rescued by University Scholar Sindji. She was registered with the Magic Research Institute." I briefly told everyone about Dai. Bhola’s checkered origins.

Little Ella pointed to Deborah's flying posture in the distance and said loudly: "She caught it, Deborah caught that short-tailed pheasant!"

…

Ying Li and I sat on the grass by the lake, quietly looking at the sparkling lake.

Not far away on the beach, little Ella and Deborah were roasting the short-tailed pheasant. A stream of green smoke floated up, and the smell of burning bird feathers filled the air.

Ying Li pointed to the forest beside the lake and said, "It's so beautiful and quiet here."

Her eyes became very clear, and she looked at me with a smile: "I want to build a small wooden house there and live there for a while. When you arrive in Vashj, send someone to notify me."

"Okay, I'll let Kalantso arrange some orcs to help you build a beautiful wooden house!" I said.

Unexpectedly, Ying Li refused.

She said to me: "Becky, Helena and I can build the cabin ourselves."

I hesitated for a moment, considering whether to persuade her to return to the Imperial Capital, my eyes chasing her eyes.

Ying Li avoided my gaze, hesitant.

In the end, I couldn't help it, and said to me in a panic: "...Don't persuade me, you know, I don't want to reject you, but I just want to be quiet. Manda and I need a little space and a little space." Time, we both need to calm down."

She looked at the lake in the distance and said to me: "She always thinks she can give me the best. In her eyes, those beautiful things are what I need most, but she never asks me idea."

Then, she said weakly: "James said it to me personally, and he promised me that I can freely choose my future life..."

I think this is probably what she has always insisted on in her heart...
