my age of magic

Chapter 1132 235. Grand Duke of Salta
Zach led me to the gate of a manor on the first block, and Ernestine ran ahead to lead the way.

She raised the long sword in her hand towards the gate of the manor from a distance, and the guards at the gate of the manor saw clearly that the knight in costume on the horse was Ernestine, and ran away in panic from the gatehouse in fright. Coming out, they quickly pushed open the big iron gate and made way for a path.

Ernestine's war horse drove straight in, followed by the magic caravan carrying me, followed by Zach on the black horse.

"Miss..." Before the guard standing respectfully at the door could say a complete sentence, Ernestine was blown into the courtyard like a whirlwind.

She ignored the guards at the gate of the courtyard. When the horses passed by, a few shards of ice splashed on the faces of the guards and quickly melted into mud spots. The guards in chain mail had awkward smiles on their faces. Standing at the gate, following Ernestine's war horse and looking into the manor, the way they whispered seemed a little wretched.

Entering the manor, the lawn in the courtyard is covered with a thick layer of white snow, and there are almost no footprints on it, which is a kind of natural beauty.

A thick blanket of snow covered the lawn, and occasionally a few grass leaves were propped up, shaking slightly in the cold wind.

The magic caravan was parked by the fountain in front of the square. The fountain had dried up and was filled with snow cleared from the steps of the castle. Two bronze statues stood beside the pool, which looked like two brave warriors fighting the devil. In the scene, the bronze statue was also covered with a layer of snow, and the manor was full of strong winter breath.

Several maids in long cotton dresses came out from the side door of the castle with wooden basins containing some washed clothes. They talked and laughed and walked to the drying field in the corner of the manor, and put the wooden basins into the laundry. Wet clothes and sheets were hanging on the long line outside. They rolled up their sleeves, showing their white arms, and there was no trace of sadness on their faces.

A groom pushed a wheelbarrow, moved a bundle of alfalfa to the stable, and put the chopped alfalfa into a long trough. The stable was full of war horses, and each horse was fat and strong. .

On the arrow tower at the top of the castle, there are two archers with longbows on their backs. They are always hanging by the window of the arrow tower.

Servants came and went in and out of the castle, but there were not many costumed knights. Several young nobles wore sheepskin soft armor and held wooden swords in their hands to practice swordsmanship in the square in front of the castle. Two of them wore locks. The middle-aged swordsmanship instructor in trousers is correcting the movement mistakes of these young people's swordsmanship one by one.

When Ernestine and Zach were crossing the square, they were stopped by a group of young nobles. One of the big boys who looked a little like Ernestine threw the shuriken sword to Ernestine. Sting, holding his companion's wooden sword in his hand, said to Ernestine with a smile: "Sister, do you want to see my new sword skill 'Push'?"

Ernestine took the wooden sword casually, pursed his lips slightly, and said to the young nobleman lightly: "Sword skill is not a show."

The young people around hadn't seen clearly how Ernestine made the move, the wooden sword in Ernestine's hand was already pointed at the throat of the young nobleman.

Ernestine then withdrew his sword, turned around and threw the wooden sword in his hand to Zach behind him. Zach held the wooden sword with a smile, turned out a gorgeous sword flower in his hand, and then swayed at the stunned young nobleman. He beckoned, and when the young nobleman saw that someone was willing to try the sword for him, he immediately cheered up and put on a fighting posture. He also looked very imposing, and the wooden sword was pierced by him, making a piercing sound.

"Your strength is not enough!" Zach shouted, and then even faced the young nobleman in the same posture.

The same sword strokes collided together, and the wooden sword was smashed instantly by the huge force. The wooden sword in Zach's hand was held more firmly. Although the wooden sword in his hand was broken into sawdust, his body stood firmly on the original ground. On the other hand, the young aristocrat was directly knocked out by Zack and flew out. He almost fell, but was supported by his companions behind him.

Afterwards, Zach followed Ernestine's footsteps towards the gate of the castle with strides.

So, the young nobles in the square naturally looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders and said to these young nobles, "I don't know how to use a sword..."

Hearing this, the young nobleman who was knocked into the air by Zack immediately stood up from the crowd alive and kicking. He took a wooden sword again, stood opposite me and pointed the wooden sword at me from a distance, maybe it was because of me. He didn't wear a magic robe, he didn't know that I was a magician, when he heard me say that I can't use a sword, he smiled very proudly, and said to me: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, just a sword A technical exchange..."

At this time, Ernestine realized that Katerina and I hadn't followed. He looked back and saw that I was stopped by a young nobleman. Ernestine was about to speak, but was stopped by Zach who stretched out his hand and Zach walked towards me. Picked a thumbs up.

I stretched out my hand and rubbed my face vigorously. It seemed that Zach wanted to watch the excitement. I went to the weapon rack next to the square and picked up a short axe. The young nobleman said, "...well, I'll try this ax."

After I finished speaking, I walked towards him step by step with an ax in my hand. Seeing my calm look, the young man suddenly became less confident.

Standing in front of me, his expression changed again and again, he was a bit stuck, and the wooden sword kept turning in his hands. Maybe he thought that the people who could deal with Ernestine should not be ordinary people, but there were so many people standing in the square , He couldn't put down his face and admit defeat no matter what, and finally gritted his teeth and made the same starting gesture as the previous two times.

I nodded to the young nobleman, indicating that I was ready. Seeing that I was not as aggressive as Ernestine, nor as calm and restrained as Zach, he mustered up his courage and repeatedly used the 'thrust' to charge towards me.

The moment the wooden sword in his hand stabbed in front of me, seeing that I still hadn't made any counterattacks, the young noble could not help but be overjoyed when he felt that the winning ticket was in his hands, and a smear of color appeared on his face.

I stood there calmly, facing the stabbing wooden sword, let alone a wooden sword, even if he stabbed me like this with a Roman epee, I would still be able to keep my face unchanged.

I said to him: "Don't use martial arts to solve things that can be solved with magic!"

As soon as the words fell, an ice shield happened to appear between me and him. His wooden sword pierced the ice shield and even poked a small hole in the ice shield. He looked at me in amazement, the ebony ax in his hand' Teng', a layer of raging flames burned out.

'Flame Tongue Weapon'

The ebony ax was originally heavier than the wooden sword in his hand. When his wooden sword was stuck in the ice shield and he couldn't pull it out, he struck the wooden sword with the axe, and the raging flames swept across it, scaring the young nobleman to withdraw his hand immediately. Dodging away, the ebony ax split the wooden sword, and the magic flame rushed to the wooden sword, burning the wooden sword to ashes.

Then, I raised my hand and threw the ebony ax aside, and walked directly past the young nobleman.

The young nobleman's eyes fell on Katerina behind him, trying to find a chance to save his face, but Katerina didn't intend to give him anything, and flashed directly to me from the spot, the young nobleman looked at me blankly. Looking at the place where Katerina disappeared, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then rubbed his eyes vigorously again...

The young nobles in the square all dropped their jaws in shock. They didn't expect that the person who learned the best swordsmanship on his side was taught three times in a row in an understatement. When the fourth time, they didn't even bother shot...

……

The entire exterior wall of the castle in the manor is gray, with some Gothic style, and the arched dome looks like a row of sharp swords.

As soon as you enter the door, it is not a wide hall, but a wide corridor. There are some oil paintings on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor. The sun shines in from the stained glass windows on the tall round arched dome, which makes people feel like this castle. Solemn and solemn, along the way, I met several batches of maids who were busy preparing dinner. They lined up in a long line, carrying huge silver plates, and walked through the corridor against the wall.

The rich smell of toasted bread and the sweet smell of boiled corn permeated the corridor, making me feel that I haven't eaten much since the morning, and now my stomach is already empty.

Ernestine and Zach walked in front. After the former met a young maid in a long silk dress and asked a few words, he changed his route and brought me into a huge dining room. It was time to enjoy dinner, and the dining room was full of people, and the clanging sound of knives and forks colliding with silver plates was so pleasant.

The people who are eligible to dine in the restaurant are basically the nobles in the castle. They whispered and stuffed the delicacies on the plate into their mouths. banquet.

Some people saw Ernestine and immediately stood up from their seats to say hello. Ernestine was wearing mithril armor and looked heroic. He just smiled and nodded to those people, which couldn't be more cool.

There were also some people who greeted Zach. Zach seemed much gentler, nodding and saying something to everyone. In this way, Ernestine quickly left us behind, and she went straight to the table Go to the main seat, obviously the owner of the castle is sitting there.

After I met the Duke of Hewlett, I realized why Ernestine was so heroic. The father and daughter looked very similar, no matter in appearance or temperament, Ernestine was retired. Duke Leete has a lot of influence, but Duke Hewlett's temples are already grey. He is sitting on the chair of the lord, with a piece of salamander hind leg on the plate in front of him. A faint layer of flame was burning, as if it had been cut from a living salamander.

At this time, I saw that Sola University scholar and Su were eating at the dining table. Su's location was not far from Duke Hewlett. She smiled and nodded at me.

The food on the plate in front of the Sola University scholar is very simple, only a glass of water and two slices of white bread. When she saw me, she smiled and said to me: "Sorry, I have to take time out of your busy schedule to come over here." !"

I gave a slight mage salute to the Sola University scholar, and said, "I am honored to be able to help you, Sola-sama."

The Sola University scholar was still wearing a priestly robe as white as snow, and there seemed to be no traces of age on her face. She turned her head to look at Duke Hewlett, and then said slowly to him: "Duke Hewlett, let me see if you treat your leg injury first, and then have dinner!"

"Alright, can this young man take care of the injury that is difficult for the great scholar Sola?" Duke Hewlett picked up the napkin and casually wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth, looked up at me, and said to Sola. La University scholar asked.

The Sola University scholar introduced me to Duke Hewlett very calmly: "Yes, his name is Jijia, and he is a very outstanding water magic student in the Royal Academy of Magic."

When Duke Hewlett heard the gold-lettered signboard of the Royal Academy of Magic, he immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Hehe, it turns out that he is still a talented student in magic."

He seemed to feel that this was not enough, so he raised his hands and shouted to all the nobles dining in the restaurant: "Hey... everyone, please pay attention, there is a high-level magic student from the Royal Academy of Magic here, is there anyone here?" The young girl is willing to give it a try, and if she can recruit him into our family, I promise now——At your wedding, I will give you a city on the throne as a wedding gift."

Is there any need to exaggerate like this... I'm completely speechless. Shouldn't you ask me what the client thinks about this kind of thing?
"Wow——" the nobles in the restaurant heard Duke Hewlett's promise, and immediately seemed to explode. Similarly, everyone focused their attention on the young and beautiful noble girls in the restaurant, as if Waiting for a good show.

At this time, Ernestine walked directly to Duke Hewlett, looked him in the eyes, and said to him: "Hewlett, do you know whose corner you are poaching?"

"Ernestine, when you speak to me, you should use honorifics." Duke Hewlett said helplessly to Ernestine, and then said: "Ernestine, tell me, Who else has taken a fancy to this talented magician?"

Ernestine said a name casually: "James Angel Boulder."

When everyone heard this name, the restaurant slowly became quiet, and those who were eager to try suddenly seemed to lose their enthusiasm.

Even the Duke of Hewlett laughed twice, and only said: "This guy, I know he has two precious daughters, he is very discerning!"

Ernestine didn't stop breaking the news about me, and said to the Duke of Hewlett: "Just last month, after Jijia completed her coming-of-age ceremony, she married Princess Yingli and Princess Qige at the same time."

Duke Hewlett pointed at me, seeming to have forgotten what he wanted to say, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Hohohoho... You guy, that Welsh kid didn't bother you?"

I scratched my head and said, "No."

Duke Hewlett went on to say: "Don't worry, the Welsh kid went to Angelado with the Constructed Knight."

I'm speechless:"……"
