my age of magic

Chapter 1118 221. Princess Sha's Gossip
I am slightly dissatisfied and worried about the actions of the tauren Luka and Justus.

Although my original intention of keeping the two of them in the plane of Hierro was to find out some real information about the real situation around Tanton City in the plane of Hierro, I do not advocate that they risk their lives.

Luka has always been an honest tauren. Although he also has a heart that wants to travel the entire Roland Continent, he never showed it. He stayed quietly at the rented house and waited for me. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Magic, we will fulfill our dream of traveling the entire Roland Continent together.

However, since the appearance of Justus, the adventurous heart of the tauren warriors has somehow been instigated by the descendant of the siren to make such adventurous actions again and again. The expedition I said hello to, this time entered the black forest outside the city of Tanton. Now the black forest outside the city of Tanton is no different from the territory of the Nebulu spiders, although their spider camp is some distance away. , But once the spider warriors came over, no adventure group could escape in the black forest, because they couldn't run away with the eight long-legged spider warriors.

Due to the tight schedule, there was no way to stay too much in the Ye Luo plane, so he hurried back to Xinliu Valley.

The underground warehouse square in Xinliu Valley is full of various materials, the most important of which are [-] sets of black iron armor of the Nacoma, and the batch of bed crossbows without a bed base. The dwarf Bernd I am leading a group of goblin slaves to dig a new storage room. The new storage room is mainly to store these black iron armor and bed crossbows. Before the storage room is built, these materials can only be placed here.

An old dwarf and a dozen female dwarves are transforming those bed crossbows one by one in the square, transforming these bed crossbows into hand crossbows suitable for them to carry and hold according to the figure of barbarian slaves, in addition to customizing a large number of handles and In addition to the handle, the mechanical part of the bed crossbow needs to be changed, so that as long as the barbarian slave moves his fingers, the crossbow bolts in the bed crossbow slot can be shot smoothly.

Dwarves are proficient in making hand crossbows and guns, which is mainly related to their inability to use bows and arrows. Due to the limitations of height and arm span, dwarves cannot use some longbows, so the stubborn dwarves focus on hand crossbows and guns. In terms of research, it turns out that they are still very good at making hand crossbows.

The other side of the warehouse square is full of grain. This time, the grain reserves are slightly more, mainly because several major grain-producing provinces of the Grimm Empire have had a bumper harvest this year, and whole boats and boats of grain have arrived in the imperial capital from the south. , This has also caused the price of wheat flour to remain below the average price level over the years, so Aliya bought several large quantities of wheat flour and grains in the airport town. These grains not only filled all the grain storage warehouses, but even occupied the ground A corner of Warehouse Square.

At the same time, from the orc village of Xinliu Valley, there is still a steady stream of stone materials being transported to the underground warehouse by mine trucks.Seven hundred Yero natives are now dealing with the stones transported from the ground of Xinliu Valley every day. They carry the stones to a cave farther away. Anyway, no matter where these stones are placed, no one will steal them.

In the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley, I accidentally saw the old orc Zewang who came to transport food. I haven’t seen this old orc for a while. It’s rare to have a chance to chat with him, so I didn’t rush back to the imperial capital. go.

Now the orc village is full of female half-orc slaves bought from the slave market. These female half-orc slaves are mountain people in the mountains at the junction of the Green Empire and the orc tribe. It is very common for humans and orcs to intermarry there. Therefore, these female half-orcs quickly adapted to life in the orc village, and they were more willing to marry an orc warrior than the cunning Grimm Empire.

So many half-orc female slaves have brought vitality to the orc village, and solved the most worrying problem of the old orc Zewang. Female orcs only accounted for a very small number. With these half-orc female slaves and the orc warriors in the village forming a new family, the orc village will usher in a population explosion in the near future. something to look forward to.

We talked about the development of the orc village and the current living conditions of the barbarian slaves in the quarry, from the products in the forest of Xinwillow Valley to the magic herbal garden in the round valley, and we also talked about Deborah, Luka and Jas Tess these people.

The old orc Zwan told me that he saw Deborah, Luka and Justus in the orc village a few days ago, so I talked to him about Luka and the trip to Tanton City , some changes in Luka.

Seeing my sullen look, the old orc Zewang came up, stretched out a big old hand and pressed it on my shoulder, and asked me: "What kind of person do you want Luka to be in the future? "

I thought for a while before saying, "I hope he can become a powerful warrior in the tauren tribe. Of course, this is also Luka's dream."

His eyes look wise. I think some changes have taken place in the old orc Zewang. I remember that when I saw him for the first time, his eyes were cloudy, but now his eyes are not only bright, And it also reveals a sense of life.

Then he asked me: "You don't want yourself to be a stumbling block on his way to realize his dream, do you?"

"How could I be his stumbling block? Of course I can't be his stumbling block!" I smiled and said.

He laughed dumbfoundedly, shook his head and said to me: "So, I agree with Justus's approach. As a tauren warrior, he needs his own path of cultivation. We all rely on you to move forward, otherwise we will stop and stand still. He should have some life of his own, and you—Jijia, as Luka's most trusted friend and partner, should also give him enough freedom... Courage and encouragement."

I looked at the old orc Zewang and remained silent for a long time.

……

A new snow did not leave any traces in the imperial capital. Looking at the street trees on both sides of the street through the transparent glass window, there were very few leaves left on the branches overnight. The branches shook gently in the cold wind, and the remaining A few leaves are like the flags shouted by the defeated army on the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, Su would make an appointment for us to meet in a bakery, perhaps because there was a lemon tree at the entrance of this bakery, under the lemon tree there was a simple wooden round table, a few random chairs, her upper body She was wearing a plaid woolen coat, and her lower body was a slightly short pleated skirt, which exposed at least half of her thighs.

It has just snowed, and the temperature in the imperial capital is not very high. It should be said that when the wind blows, you can still feel the chill mixed with it.In such a cold weather, you can see beautiful girls in short skirts on the street. I have to say that it really adds a lot of scenery to this slightly bleak street.

In fact, when I first met Su, I wanted to ask her if she would feel cold wearing such a short skirt in this weather, but then I remembered that her legs and legs are prosthetic limbs, so she shouldn’t feel any pain at all. Leng Yi, unknowingly, has almost forgotten about Su Shuang's legs... Watching her walk and running on the street will only make passers-by on the street think: That beautiful girl's long legs It's so beautiful!
Inside the simple stove next to the round table was a scroll of concentrating fire, and a copper teapot was placed on the stove. A light blue flame burst out from the stove, making the teapot emit a trace of white water vapor.

Su put a few slices of fresh lemon into the glass in front of Ying Li and me, then added a little honey, poured the boiling water in the teapot, and suddenly a scent of lemon and sweetness of honey filled the air Spread out.

There is a basket of bread on the table, round, oval, long, and sliced ​​in various styles. The plate on the side is filled with golden apple jam, and there is a bottle of golden apple cider on the table. .This is almost a breakfast in the style of El City. Although it is not morning, the strong nostalgia immediately fills my heart.

"Jijia doesn't eat applesauce. He likes to sandwich roasted meat and sausage in bread, or drink a bowl of hot broth directly. If there is no such thing, he prefers to eat bread with nothing added. Slices." Just as Ying Li was spreading a thick layer of golden applesauce on my black bread slices, Su leaned on the wooden chair and said to her calmly, without giving the imperial princess any face .

Ying Li stuck out his tongue apologetically, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I don't know about this."

"Please, more than two months have passed since the wedding..." Su couldn't help but complained to Ying Li again.

Ying Li was wearing a simple consecration magic suit. This black and white striped tights made her look like an ordinary young female magician. Walking out with a basket of bread, it turned out to be an Angibald princess, and she didn't look like a princess.

Regarding Su's doubts, Ying Li also argued vigorously: "But we don't live together, we rarely have breakfast together, mine is settled at home, his breakfast is in the dining hall of the Magic Academy, we don't On an early winter afternoon, sitting in front of a bakery on the street, enjoying such an emotional 'breakfast'."

Su waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, I was busy saving a big knight of construction last night until this morning. I came to see you as soon as I woke up. I heard that you are renovating the house recently. How is the progress? ?”

In fact, the relationship between Su and Yingli is much better than I imagined.

In the past few years in the imperial capital, Ying Li has been taking care of Su silently. When Su first arrived at the Campbell Nursing Home, he would often be instigated and bullied by some medical assistants. Na and Becky went to the sanatorium to stand up for Su, and now in the Campbell sanatorium, Su has almost become the most influential person besides Sola scholars.

"Originally, I wanted to expand the swimming pool in the backyard, but I didn't expect it to snow!" Ying Li looked a little regretful, sighed slightly, and said to Su.

"..."

I sat by the side speechlessly, and I couldn't express any objection at this time. In fact, I think the swimming pool in the backyard is quite well built.

Helena and Becky stood in front of the window of the bakery, looking at the exquisite bread inside. Although they had no intention of eating, this did not prevent them from admiring the bread and pastries in the basket. Still quite hungry.

Such a sunny afternoon, although the wind is a bit cool, but chatting with friends on the street is quite happy.

The last time I saw Su was in the manor of Duke Jingyue, so Su and I also chatted a few words about what happened after I was knocked out by Princess Sha. In the words, Su expressed a very strong dissatisfaction with the Aili family Although I said that Duke Jingyue and Princess Sha have formally apologized to me, and they also showed me Xiatun Aili’s magic note, which shows that Duchess Jingyue is still very sincere, but it cannot change Su the opinion of.

Hearing Su talk about this incident, I realized that I was injured a few days ago.

While complaining that I didn't tell her about it, Ying Li listened to Su tell the whole story of that night. Because Su told the story, the story was full of Su's personal subjective consciousness. It is very disrespectful for Princess Sha to cast offensive magic on me while I am healing and saving lives.

In this way, we talked about Duke Jingyue and her injuries.

Although I was the one who dispelled the shadow and black devil energy in her body, I fainted afterwards, and I don't know how they dealt with such a serious injury on Duke Jingyue's body, she was so seriously injured...

"The clavicle of the shoulder was severed, and the entire chest was cut open. Although it can heal, it should be impossible to ride a horse on the battlefield in the future. The most important thing is that she was injured there...it will be difficult to have children in the future " Su took the slice of bread with jam in Yingli's hand, ate it with relish, and at the same time told Yingli about Duke Jingyue's injury.

"Ah!" Hearing what Su said, Ying Li was surprised, but also completely lost his appetite.

Su seemed to have no taboos, she licked the golden apple jam on the bread slice with her tongue while talking.

Then I heard Su say: "It is estimated that only Princess Sha will inherit the position of Grand Duke of Sloitt in the future, but I heard that Princess Sha doesn't seem to be interested in men. I saw her with that beautiful water magician with my own eyes. The eyes are very ambiguous, so to speak, it is really a big problem for the Aili family to want a successor in the future!"

Unexpectedly, the taciturn Su would have such a gossip side.

Ying Li's eyes widened, and with an expression of disbelief, he said to Su: "You mean her and Teacher Sophie?"

"Well, it is!"
