my age of magic

Chapter 1148
Maybe it was because I wanted to make a good impression on Leant and Fanny, maybe it was because I was tired from the journey, maybe I wanted to leave a little space for my family and me to chat privately. Soon after dinner, Ying Li, He went back to Tracy's room with Helena and Becky, and went back to the room early to rest.

Katerina and I stood in front of the window of the writing desk in the attic, scraped off the ice on the glass window with a wooden ruler, pointed to the small courtyard of the villa next door and said to Katerina: "This is Sister Guoguo's house." Su and Annie have lived here for more than ten years. After Annie graduated, she went to Qiyan Province with her mentor. She is a magic swordsman who has awakened the talent of fire magic. As for Su after realizing the "holy" After praying, I studied for a while in the Temple of Aetia, but many things happened later..."

"I know..." Katerina pressed her face against the window, looking at the pitch-black empty house under the night, she blinked her magnificent ruby ​​eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and smiled slightly.

"Later, Yingli brought Su to the imperial capital, where he learned sacred prayers from Lord Sola, and now the status of the temple is not as good as before... You see, Su used to read books under that lemon tree, and occasionally I would go to Talk to her. Look! This is my life, every morning when I get up and open the window, I can see Sister Guoguo’s home.” I sighed softly, but didn’t continue.

"Why are you sighing? Didn't you tell me confidently a few days ago that you were going to take the barbarian slaves and orc warriors to the wild swamp to find the mysterious ancient ruins?" Katerina opened her arms, from Stick it up and hold me tightly in your arms.

"Sister Katerina, the bath water is ready!" Cindy's voice came from downstairs.

"Come right away!" Katerina walked quickly to the door of the attic, and replied to the downstairs, then took out a few lingerie nightdresses from the magic pocket, smiled charmingly, and winked at me and said : "You don't mind if I visit your bathroom first!"

Katerina's sultry look is always so charming.

Although I clearly knew that I should at least restrain myself a little bit at home, I still couldn't help but boldly counterattacked Katerina's provocative words, and I said, "Do you want to go 'visiting' with you?"

Katerina passed through her eyes: "Come here if you have the guts!" ', seeing me take out the linen pajamas from the magic pouch, I was immediately defeated, so I changed the subject and said to me: "By the way, didn't you say that you buried a few sweet potatoes in the coals of the fireplace? Is it? Don’t forget to take it out, if it’s too late, it might turn into coke.”

"...Okay, I'm going to see our supper, I haven't eaten this for a long time." I said to Katerina, these words are of course just words, at this time Fanny, Nancy, and Lyant are all I must not be asleep yet, I don't have the guts to do such absurd things as mixed baths under Fanny's nose.

I went downstairs with Katerina, and sure enough, I saw Cindy wearing a cotton pajamas, standing at the mouth of the bathroom, which had just been cleaned.

After having Cindy and Nancy in the family, half of Tracy's work was assigned to Cindy. In addition, Tracy was notoriously lazy, so most of the work was taken care of by hardworking Cindy. In terms of housework, Cindy has inherited many of Nancy's advantages. Now Cindy is no longer the bean sprouts three years ago, and the originally thin face has gradually gained a little baby fat. After finishing her work, her face looked like a big red apple.

I was about to go up to have a chat with Cindy when Tracy poked out of the bathroom door with a wet lock of hair and caught sight of me.

"Jijia, what are you doing here? Are you trying to spy on me taking a shower?" Tracy slapped me unceremoniously. This sentence choked me so much that I didn't know what to say. Tracy's transformation is exceptionally aggressive. Tracy's current appearance reminds me of the aggressive sister Dali from the neighbor's house. I thought: Maybe girls from the northern border will become like this when they grow up!
I was about to retort when Katerina stepped out from behind, smiling charmingly, and said to Tracy, "Do you mind if I come in?"

Tracy's eyes widened, watching Katerina's slim figure without the dragon's light leather armor, fair skin, charming eyes and long fiery red hair, she shook her head in a daze.

Katerina turned her head and glanced at me, and said to me, "Jijia, why are you still standing here?"

Cindy leaned against the door frame, covering her mouth and giggling.

Tracy waved her fist triumphantly across Katrina, and then pulled Katrina into the bathroom. Through the light in the corridor, she could still see Nancy busy in the kitchen. She was wearing an apron, A series of coherent movements deftly tucked the stack of dishes into the cupboard shelf.

……

The fruit wood in the fireplace turned into a pile of hoarfrost ashes. I pulled out a few round sweet potatoes from the carbon ash, brushed off the black ash on the outer shell of the sweet potato, and put the sweet potato into my pocket. This thing is similar to potatoes in some places, but the taste is much worse. If you eat too much, there are some toxins in the potatoes that will make your mouth numb, your tongue will be stiff, your speech will be slurred, and the corners of your mouth will be swollen. Drooling will flow uncontrollably.

The toxin contained in the sweet potato itself is not the main reason why people don’t eat it in the imperial capital. No one wants to eat it. The main reason is that the sweet potato is defined as the food of slaves by the powerful in the empire. The nobles think that sweet potatoes are only eaten by slaves and vagabonds. Han will go to eat.

El City is a small border town in Sloit Province, the northernmost part of the Grimm Empire, and the influence of the nobles cannot spread throughout the entire territory of the empire.

Every winter, a large number of refugees gather in the city. These refugees come to some towns and villages on the outskirts of El City. There are also orcs who came down from the plateau in the small town. Therefore, it is often seen in the market that there are merchants selling cheap ground Yam.

In the past, barbarians only hunted men in small towns and villages, so when winter came every year, only men would hide in the city with food and luggage for the winter, while women and the elderly would still live at home.

But in recent years, the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe who came to the northernmost part of the ice and snow tundra occupied the land of the Celtic tribe on the ice and snow tundra. These new barbarians crossed the Benma River to the north, Not only do they plunder human slaves, but they also eat women and old people as food.

What the barbarians did not only increased the hatred of the barbarians in the north, but also drove a large number of women and old people from villages and small towns into El City, where these people wanted to survive the whole winter It is not so easy, they need to find a cheap shelter, and they have to fill their stomachs every day, so sweet potatoes are also a good choice for these refugees.

Leant and Fanny don't eat sweet potatoes. Occasionally, I would buy a few at the market and throw them in the fireplace when I was thinking of the life on the Pai Plateau. Sometimes Tracy would come over to have a taste. But that's only a bite or two, and it's topped with a tomato sauce I've seasoned myself, but Cindy doesn't mind the sweet potato, and occasionally Nancy pops over to try it.

At that time, Cindy told me that when I was in the small town of Maas, many families would eat sweet potatoes for a period of time every year when the crops were not harvested in early spring.

Leant was sitting on the wooden chair in front of the fireplace, and had been staring at me since I walked to the edge of the fireplace. I handed over a black potato, and Leant waved his hand in disgust, motioning for me to take it. open.

"In the rules that magicians and nobles must abide by, didn't they tell you not to eat sweet potatoes?" Leonte's brows were twisted into twists, as if he had been stabbed all over his body, with an uncomfortable expression on his face. I said.

"No!" I threw the stick into the ashes of the fireplace, and said succinctly to Liont.

Regarding my liking for sweet potatoes, Leant has always seemed helpless, but there is nothing he can do about it.

"I heard that kid named Noah said, are you rich?" Then he poked his head over and asked me in a low voice.

I untied the money bag from my waist, opened the mouth of the money bag to reveal the magic spar inside, and then stuffed it into his arms, and I said to Leant: "Probably, if you are talking about this thing If so, I do have some very stable sources of income, and I still have a small territory in the Hierro plane, which is called Trom by the locals."

There are probably dozens of magic crystals in the money bag. For me now, these magic crystals obviously don’t represent anything, but for Leonte, they are wealth that takes a lifetime to accumulate. Leonte from the money bag He took out a magic spar and looked at it seriously under the light.

I said to Leant: "If you and Fanny are willing, I can help you buy a large manor in El City, don't worry about the cost."

Although the housing prices in El City are far from as expensive as those in the imperial capital, a noble and luxurious manor in El City costs at least several thousand magic spar.

"Leant and I live here very well. We are surrounded by decades-old neighbors. Is it necessary to live in such a big house?" Fanny was wearing a nightdress made of magic-weave spider silk, with her hands crossed from the chest. Walking out of the bedroom, she probably didn't know it until now, but the nightdress that Alia gave her was probably worth more than a dozen magic spar.

I was left speechless by Fanny's question, but Efany's character did not intend to let me go, she sat on the sofa opposite to Lyont, squinted her eyes and asked me: "Do you still think he married a wife?" Not enough, let him have a big house to take in those beautiful young women who are homeless?"

"Ahem, I'm not as unbearable as you said!" Leant tried to defend himself.

"Are you sure you haven't done anything?" Fanny squinted her eyes and asked Leonte back.

"This... still exists." Leonte was at a loss for words, couldn't help touching his nose, and admitted in embarrassment.

Fanny glared at Lyont with a half-smile, and said, "Then shut up!"

"Fanny!"

I sat down on the blanket in front of Fanny's sofa, put my arms around Fanny's calf, put my face on her lap, raised my eyes and looked at her, just like when I was a child, Fanny would give me and Te Tracy told some small stories, and many times, Tracy would run away in disgust.

I remember the first time I hugged Fanny's legs like this, Fanny couldn't help crying, she held my face in both hands, and kissed my forehead.

Fanny's voice became much softer, and she said softly to me: "Ji Jia, after attending the coming-of-age ceremony, you become an adult, why are you still acting like a child."

Fanny touched the short hair on top of my head, sighed softly, and said to Lyont: "Lynt, our Jijia has grown up!"

"Yeah, he was only this tall when he first came to our house." Lyonte was also immersed in the memories of the past, and said with his hands. "In the blink of an eye, he has become a top magic student in the Royal Academy of Magic. Speaking of which, even in Sloit Province, there are not many magicians who can win this honor!"

After a while, Leant leaned over, pointed to the upstairs and whispered to me: "Is it really the princess of the Angibald royal family? I mean...the Supreme Commander of the Southwind Legion James The prince's daughter married you?"

I nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked me again: "Did you really snatch the queen-to-be from the Prince of Wales who is the most promising future general of our empire?"

I nodded again.

Liant couldn't help coughing violently one after another, and it took him a long time to calm down.

Therefore, Liont's face was a little complicated, and he smiled wryly at me and said, "I thought you would bring us a little surprise when you came back from the imperial capital, but I didn't expect this surprise to be so big, it's a bit more than Fanny and I. acceptable range."

Fanny interjected, asking me: "Prince James sanctioned the marriage?"

I nodded and said honestly, "James invited me and Yingli to have a meal for this purpose after he returned from the war in the Kenda plane."

Leant and Fanny glanced at each other, and from their eyes, I saw an 'unbelievable' expression.

I took out the precious 'Crystal Dagger of Deep Cold' from my pocket and placed it on the tea table.

Immediately, the temperature in the entire living room dropped several degrees, and fine ice particles condensed from the air slowly fell around the dagger, and said to Leonte and Fanny: "This is a gift from Prince James and Mrs. Manda." My wedding present."

Although Leant and Fanny didn't know the value of this epic magic weapon, they also knew that it must be priceless.Leant hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up the idea of ​​touching the epic magic weapon.

"Originally, Leant and I thought that you would marry Katerina after graduation." Fanny said to me.

"I didn't think so. I thought that there would be a lady from a noble family who would like you and would marry you, and then you would serve for that noble family, but I didn't expect that noble family to be the Angel Boulder royal family. !” Leonte interjected and added.

Lyant asked me, "So what's next for you?"

I said to him: "Next, I want to visit the teachers at the El City War College, and then meet those friends at the Junior Magic Academy, and then attend Tracy's wedding. Organize a falcon squad and hunt the barbarians outside the city of Ayr."
