my age of magic

Chapter 1149 252. The Night of El City

When the cold wind blows over the ridge of the roof, there is a whistling sound of 'woo-woo', and a strong north wind hangs at night, and the north wind rolls up the snow on the ground, and hits the glass window with a 'pa.pa.pa' .

There was a soft knock on the attic door.

'tuk tuk tuk'

The voice was soft and urgent, and I opened my eyes from sleep.

At this time, Katerina, who was lying beside me, got up lightly from the bed. She jumped out of the bed with bare feet, walked to the door on the cold oak floor, and opened the door gently.

With the moonlight coming in from the window on a snowy night, I saw Yingli, Helena and Becky standing outside the door in warm cotton pajamas, Yingli with long black hair, smiled apologetically at Katerina .

Katerina quickly pulled Yingli into the attic, and then said to her: "Come in quickly, Jijia can't sleep, and you still want me to call you, or we can chat in the attic?"

The expression on Ying Li's face was a bit pitiful. Hearing Katerina say this, he nodded happily, tilted his head and smiled guiltily at me who sat up from the bed, and then said: "Sorry, it's so late, And disturb your rest."

I lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed. Fortunately, I was very tired from the journey just now. I fell asleep on the bed. I didn’t make out with Katerina and my clothes were disheveled. I put on my pajamas neatly. I scratched my head and smiled. Said to Ying Li: "Are you lying on a strange bed and can't sleep?"

Ying Li blushed slightly, and nodded shyly.

Katerina dragged Ying Li in, and Ying Li looked at the furnishings in the attic through the moonlight outside the window.

Wearing cotton slippers, Helena followed Yingli, and said as she walked, "I feel a little scared when I hear the 'woo woo' outside."

"It's been so long, and the furniture in this room doesn't seem to have changed much," Becky said.

It was a bit cold in the room, I took out a piece of magic parchment from the writing desk, took out a magic engraving pen from the pen holder, took out half a bottle of magic ink from the magic pocket, and sat on the chair to quickly draw a picture. A magic scroll of 'Fire Gathering Technique', I put the scroll on a silver plate, red flames emerged from the scroll, instantly making the room warmer.

Looking at the snow particles blown by the wind outside the window, Yingli asked me in surprise: "Is it snowing outside?"

I stuck it on the glass window, looked outside carefully, and then said: "No, these are just snow on the ground, but the wind outside is a bit strong. It is most likely to freeze to death in such a cold night. There are night watchmen every morning." Pulling flatbed carts, looking for frozen bodies on every street in the city."

While I was talking, I spread the quilt on the bed, took out a blanket from the closet beside me, and called Yingli, Helena, and Becky to sit on the bed. Everyone sitting on the bed hugged the blanket and chatted, it was warmer than on the ground Some.

"Would you like a glass of golden cider? Drinking a little should help you sleep." I said, taking out a bottle of golden cider from the magic pocket.

Catalina found some goblets from the kitchen downstairs, poured a glass of golden cider for each of us, took off the shoes, squeezed on the bed with us, and Yingli sat with her hands on her knees On the far side of the bed, Helena was next to Winnie, then Becky, then me and Katerina.

The five of us hugged a blanket and leaned against the wooden wall, just enough to see the snow particles flying outside the window through the window next to the writing desk.

The few of us chatted aimlessly while drinking golden cider. First, Katerina talked about her impression of the city when she first arrived in El City.

Katerina said that because we came here by airship, Katerina first saw the whole picture of El City from the airship. Every street was very clean and tidy. When it is dark, there is a faint smoke from the chimneys of every house, which makes the city full of vitality.

She also said El City wasn't as cold as she thought it would be, at least not as cold as winter in the New Siakis Mountains.

Later we talked about my first encounter with Yingli, about going to the Rose Garden at night, and about swimming by the Benma River in summer.

Time slipped away from us unknowingly, and finally the few of us huddled together like this, leaning against the wall and fell asleep deeply.

When I woke up, Yingli, Helena, and Becky slipped back to their room without knowing when.

……

Because I talked a little late last night, I also woke up a little late. Leonte and Fanny had already had breakfast and left early.

Liant and Fanny seemed to have made an appointment to play cards with colleagues from Steins College today.

In winter, playing cards is almost the most popular pastime in Ayr.

Walking down from the attic, I found that Cindy and Nancy were still busy in the kitchen. While eating breakfast, Tracy asked Cindy to help her prepare a lunch box, which seemed to be brought to the guard camp for patrol Elendt.

As I sat down to breakfast, Tracy kept staring at me oddly, and I thought I had bread crumbs on my face, so I wiped them vigorously.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked Tracy.

Tracy didn't pay attention to me, and gave a very disdainful 'hum'.

I turned my head and looked at Cindy suspiciously, trying to get some hints from her to see what happened to this bad-tempered lady, but I didn't find the answer from Cindy, I looked at Cindy At that moment, Cindy hurriedly looked away, but her cheeks turned red.

After breakfast, Tracy walked to the door with a bento box, hesitated for a while, then turned around and came back, stood beside me, leaned down and stared at me and asked me: "Is that little wooden bed in your attic real?" Can it hold so many people?"

At first I thought Tracy was asking about my all-night chat last night, so I nodded casually.

"Although it has nothing to do with me, I still want to remind you to pay attention to your body. Magicians lack exercise and work hard all night. Although you are still young,...do you really think you can bear it? After Tracy finished speaking, she didn't wait for me to answer, and went out with her bento box.

I sat on the chair next to the dining table, that kind of piece of bread, and looked at Tracy’s back in a daze. Only then did I understand the meaning of her words, and I wanted to catch up and explain to her, but I found her Has quickly walked out of the yard.

……

The north wind blew all night last night.

By morning, the north wind had somehow stopped.

The vacation life of the few of us in El City has officially started. Yingli and I plan to go to the Academy of War Magic on the top of Central Mountain, and visit Dean Godfrey, Director Ross, and Heidi in the academy. Instructor, Mr. Tobyn, by the way, go to the magic grocery store in the magic market next to the college to see Marvin.

El City is not too big, there is no place to rent magic caravans in the city, and it will not take long to walk to the Junior School of War Magic in Central Mountain.

I was walking on the street with Ying Li in a Misoli magic robe, followed by Katerina, Becky, and Helena. The civilians I met on the road retreated to the side of the road, and they would not leave until we walked past. In El City, the common people are still full of awe for the magician nobles, which is mainly based on the reputation left by Heidi's mentor in El City.

Every time when defending the city, the mentor Heidi, who has a group of ice magic, will show his power and let those barbarians suffer a lot under the city.

The folk customs of El City are tough, and the civilians here are not afraid of the power of the nobility, but they are respectful to the magicians.

Walking along the central street to the central mountain, I saw that this year the city hall has a unified arrangement for the homeless people who stay in the city, because I found that the simplest felt tents can often be seen in the sheltered places on the street In fact, these felt tents placed on the street are temporary shelters for street homeless people. These felt tents are the best way to resist the biting cold wind in the middle of the night.

There is also a place to cook porridge on the street, usually a large iron pot is set up, firewood is burned under the iron pot, and water splashes in the iron pot.

From time to time, some wealthy businessmen and nobles walked to the iron pot and poured some leftover food from last night into the big iron pot. This kind of charity will continue until spring when the flowers bloom.

When we came to the Junior School of Magic of Zhanzheng College and visited Dean Godfrey, the attendant who guarded outside the apartment told us: Mr. Dean has gone out to visit friends, and he will not be back in about two weeks.It's a pity that we didn't see Dean Godfrey. We can only leave the gift brought to him by the Yerkes scholar to the attendant at the door.

We went to visit Master Ross, the dean of teaching again. This time we didn’t miss out. Lord Ross still looked the same, but he was a little surprised by my visit. I took out the two boxes of cigars brought to him by the Yerkes scholar, and Said it was a gift from Yerkes scholar, and Director Ross took the cigar box with eyes full of liking.

Director Ross invited us to lunch, but I shook my head and declined.

I found Teacher Tobyin in the college, took out the "Encyclopedia of Wind Magic Runes" given to him by the Yerkes scholar, and handed it to him.Teacher Tobyin loves all kinds of new magic runes, and when he saw a rune magic book brought to him by the Yerkes scholar, he happily flipped through the magic runes on it.

We walked to Mentor Heidi's residence and found that Mentor Heidi was not at home.

At this time, I suddenly remembered that the winter falcon operation in El City had already begun. Many strong men hiding in El City would form a fighting team and go outside El City to hunt down the barbarians In the past few years, with the deepening hatred with the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe, when the Falcon team hunted down the barbarians in the past two years, they would not leave any survivors at all.

Leaving the Academy of War Magic, go out to the right and walk into a small alley. This is the free market outside the Academy of Magic. It was originally a place where the magic students in the academy sold their own creations, and then gradually evolved into a market. Me and Marvin opened this magical grocery store, and the business in this small market has always been very good.

This magical general store still looks the same.

After winter comes, the red bean smoothie shop next to it is also closed. Perhaps because of the winter vacation, other shops here are also very sluggish. We came to the door of the grocery store. It seems that this grocery store has not officially opened yet. .

There is also a courtyard behind this grocery store, where Marvin and Spei usually live.

I walked outside the courtyard and saw that the gate of the courtyard was also tightly closed, so I went up and knocked on the gate outside.

A reluctant voice came from the yard: "Who is it!"

Just by the tone of voice, I could tell that it was Marvin's voice. It seemed that I had found the right place, so I pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

Although the courtyard is very narrow, it is full of various items, and the entire courtyard is crowded with various groceries.

Maybe it was because of the footsteps in the yard, Marvin looked very annoyed. Before he could walk out of the house, the voice came out: "Why do you just break into other people's yard..."

Then, I saw a magician wearing a magic apprentice robe push the door and come out. When he looked at me, he thought he had misread at first glance, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously and blinked vigorously. When he found that I was still standing in front of him, Marvin yelled, "Ji Jia!"

He strode up to me, gave me a big hug with one hand, then put a fist on my shoulder, and asked me, "When did you come back?"

"This magic robe of yours is really pretty. It looks like a great magician. These are your friends?" Marvin said to me as he set his eyes on me.

He first took a look at Katerina, and found that the red-haired beauty had an outstanding temperament, so he couldn't help but take another look.

Afterwards, his eyes fell on Ying Li beside him, he still had a deep impression of Ying Li, he tried hard to recall it, and suddenly seemed to remember, so he said to Ying Li: "You are Ying Li? I heard that you went back to the imperial capital, this time Jijia went to the imperial capital, do you and Jijia go to the same magic academy?"

"Hi, hello, Marvin!" Ying Li walked out of the crowd and said kindly to Marvin, "Jijia and I didn't go to the same magic academy before, but when the school starts this time, we will all be together at the Royal Academy of Magic." Learn magic!"

At this time, Marvin couldn't help shouting into the room: "Spei, get up quickly, and see who is back!"

Hearing Marvin's shout, Si Pei came out of the house not long after. While arranging her leather clothes, she looked outside the door. When she saw my figure, she also ran out excitedly, and immediately hugged me. Live, and said to me with eyes full of joy: "Jijia, where are you on vacation?"

Si Pei looked much plumper than before. After she married Ma Wen, her life was pretty good.

I smiled and asked Si Pei: "Si Pei, when will you and Marvin hold your wedding?"

I guessed that this might be Spei's greatest wish at the moment, so I simply asked in front of Marvin.

Si Pei gave Ma Wen a shy look, but didn't speak, making it clear that this matter was under Ma Wen's arrangement.
