my age of magic

Chapter 1183 287. Visitor of Lavenham City
The wedding dinner was held in the restaurant of the manor. Ellent invited five of the most famous chefs in El City to cook their five best dishes for us. Dishes are served in turn.

The wooden lids of barrels of golden cider were smashed open, and the overflowing aroma of wine and delicious barbecue were the main theme of the banquet tonight. It is worth mentioning that the last dessert served was a hot drink, which was very in line with the taste of northerners .

As the music sounded, Allente and Tracy danced the first piece of music at the ball, and then Viscount Frank and Mrs. Ethel, and Lynnt and Fanny stepped onto the dance floor, and then the whole dance floor suddenly packed with people.

The life in El City in winter is extremely monotonous, and people are eager to have some happy things. The wedding dinner and dance party are undoubtedly the activities that best meet the inner needs of the people in El City. Everyone gathers to chat, drink and dance, as if The Time Assassin steals time quietly.

I sat drinking and chatting with Bobby, Marvin, Noah, and Senior Benjamin. I probably saw that we were wearing magic robes. Some young girls from the Allente family hesitated for a long time and frequently threw enthusiasm at us. The kind of look that seemed to imply that we could ask them to dance.

Senior Benjamin picked up his glass and said to us: "Speaking of which, this is really a year worthy of being recorded in history. Those barbarians who crossed the Galloping Horse River and entered Sloit Province were all driven back to the ice and snow tundra by the North Wind Legion. The eagles all ended their hunting activities early, and I propose that we all have a toast for this."

The golden cider prepared at the banquet was aged for more than five years. Although it does not have the unique sourness of the golden cider brewed by the Zimmerman estate, it is still a good quality wine. Following the proposal of senior Benjamin, we all made it together a cup.

People in the northern region drink very boldly. Usually, a glass of wine is rarely drunk twice, and there will be a wine glass in front of everyone at the banquet.

Noah was also infected by the warm atmosphere here, and because he was a little anxious to drink just now, he felt drunk, and said to senior Benjamin: "Ha! I followed Ji Jia's falcon team to hunt barbarians outside. Exciting, but the weather here is really cold! I have to sleep in a tent in a world of ice and snow every day. When I wake up every morning, I get out of my sleeping bag, and there will be a layer of hoarfrost around my mouth. I feel like It’s like a piece of frozen meat!”

Senior Benjamin said with surprise on his face: "Why, Mr. Noah the Magician also went to the suburbs to experience the life of falcons?"

Noah smiled and said, "Yeah, when I was in the imperial capital, I often heard Jijia tell about him hunting barbarians in the northern border. I finally waited for this opportunity, so I wanted to come and try it."

After drinking a glass of wine, the two people who were not familiar with each other had a topic of conversation.

Senior Benjamin asked Noah: "By the way, has Mr. Noah, the magician, seen Jijia's ice magic trap? Jijia is a very famous falcon in El City. The freezing magic trap he invented was in El It is very famous in the circle of falcons in El City, and winter is the best-selling season for magic scrolls in El City."

In order to be able to sell more 'Frost Scrolls' and 'Frost Nova Scrolls', Marvin and I have spent a lot of time promoting ice magic traps in recent years.

It was precisely because of this that many junior magicians received invitation letters from the veteran falcon team, just to have someone in the team who could release ice magic scrolls.

And these ice magic traps also played some role in the process of hunting the barbarians. Just using ice magic scrolls for a hunt, no matter how the expenses are reduced, it will be a huge amount of expenses for the Falcon team. Only senior Benjamin, who doesn't care much about money, is more interested in ice magic traps.

Everyone turned their attention to Marvin, who shrugged his shoulders and said speechlessly: "After Jijia went to the imperial capital, the magic grocery store stopped selling ice magic scrolls, the main reason is because Jijia The number of magic scrolls sent back from the imperial capital is much less than before, and other sources of goods are not stable."

Ma Wen seemed to have thought of something, patted his forehead, and asked me: "By the way, Jijia, have you taken the inscriber qualification exam?"

I replied, "Yes."

Ma Wen hurriedly asked me: "How was the result? Did you pass?"

I smiled and said, "Of course, how could this kind of junior inscriber exam be difficult for me."

Ma Wen knows that I have a solid foundation in making magic scrolls, and also knows that I have encountered shortcomings in inscription design, so I just asked casually. I didn't expect that I had become a junior inscription master. The wine glass in his hand shook violently. , golden cider spilled on the breast skirt.

Senior Benjamin grabbed my arm and asked me: "Ah! So you are already a junior inscriber?"

There are only three inscribers in El City. These three inscribers are already busy repairing the damaged magic pattern structures. Basically, they only accept one or two orders for magic pattern structures in a month, and the specific delivery date It depends on your mood. Now, I am very excited to hear that I have passed the qualification examination for a junior inscription teacher.

"Yeah!" I said to senior Benjamin, "I've been learning how to make magicweave structures from Yerkes scholars recently."

Although senior Benjamin wanted to ask me to help him draw a set of magic pattern structures, he still swallowed this sentence, just raised his glass and said: "Let's do it for the newly promoted junior inscriber Ji Jia, Cheers, everyone!"

We all raised our glasses together and said, "Cheers!"

After drinking this glass of wine, I quietly pulled Senior Benjamin's arm, and whispered to him: "In three days' time, there will be a magic airship flying from El City to the Imperial Capital. Before that, I want you to draw the magic pattern." If you want to construct it, come to my house with the magic leather armor to find me."

Hearing what I said, Benjamin's eyes lit up, and he asked me, "Did you draw the magic pattern structure of the double-headed flaming snake skin armor that Tracy wore today?"

I nodded.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, struggled a little, and then made up his mind and said to me: "Okay, I'm going to do the same thing as Tracy!"

I nod again.

In fact, senior Benjamin knows some things even if I don’t mention them. I took the initiative to help him draw the magic pattern structure not because of the magic spar. The main reason is to let him help me take care of Leant and Fanny who live in El City.

Senior Benjamin also readily agreed, and clearly gave me this promise.

Looking at Tracy who was holding a wine glass and toasting with Alan Te in the crowd, I exhaled lightly and thought: With the help of Senior Benjamin, Alan Te's official career in the Knights of the Guard Battalion will probably be as short as possible. It will be smooth sailing!
……

After the wedding ball, we were not in a hurry to go home. Instead, we arrived at the Three Cats Tavern in Senior Benjamin's magic caravan. Our group continued to drink around a wooden table in the corner.

A pretty young waitress in the tavern brought us a large glass of golden cider, and a dozen empty glasses, all piled up on the wooden table.

At this time, there were still a lot of people in the tavern, and the whole tavern seemed noisy.

Senior Benjamin added some golden cider to the glass and said to us, "I'll tell you a rather legendary story!"

In fact, at this time, I would like to drink some barley wine with white foam, and it would be best to have a plate of dried fish at this time.

So I called the waitress back and ordered two glasses of ale. The waitress looked at me with some surprise, as if I had made a very wrong decision to drink barley wine in the pub.

I didn't bother with her, and just listened to senior Benjamin say: "The consul of Lavenham City and the head of the Knights of the Guard Battalion came to El City the day before yesterday, and they came here specifically to inquire about a falcon squad. , it is said that the falcon team kept a barbarian brigade out of the pass of Lake Beran, completely blocked the barbarians from sneaking into the mountain road of Lavenham City, and actually blocked two thousand people by themselves. The barbarian's strong attack not only held on at the pass all night, but also successfully pushed back those barbarians."

With a chubby belly, Bobby drank a glass of golden cider in one gulp, and said in surprise: "My God, which Falcon team dares to block the barbarians head-on?"

Senior Benjamin smiled wryly, and said, "The people in Lavenham City don't know, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed to El City to look for the Falcon team."

I was a little surprised, how did those people find this place, so I asked senior Benjamin: "How did they determine that this Falcon team came from El City?"

Senior Benjamin stretched out his hand to push away the messy wine glasses on the table, and then dipped his fingertips in golden cider to draw a galloping horse river on the table with a few strokes, and then drew a continuous mountain range on the south bank of the galloping horse river, It can be regarded as the Antia Mountains, and then marked the city of El in the south of the mountain, drew a valley road of the fault mountain in the south of the city of El, and drew the approximate location of the city of Nato, and then he placed the left and right arm mountains, Bei Lane Lake and Lavenham all drawn.

Unexpectedly, Senior Benjamin's memory is very good, and he sketched a map of the western part of Sloit Province in just two to three minutes.

He drew a big circle on the city of Natto and the city of El, and said to us: "Only the city of Natto and the city of El need to go through the pass of Lake Beran when entering the city of Lavenham."

Senior Benjamin paused for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, people in Lavenham City can't be sure, they just think that Nato City and El City are the most likely, but at that time the barbarian brigade bloodbathed Nato In the ten small towns on the outskirts of the city, the falcons of Nato City either returned to the city to help defend, or they chased the barbarians who drove the townspeople back to the ice and snow tundra overnight, no falcon team was as strong as this."

It was only at this time that Noah understood. Senior Benjamin kept saying 'Lake Beran pass' just now, so he asked Benjamin, "Is it really the pass of Lake Beran?"

Senior Benjamin said with certainty, "That's right, that's what they said."

Noah's mouth opened, and he couldn't help asking: "Then did they say that there are two young magicians who braved the cold wind to deliver letters to Lavenham City overnight?"

"...I'll go!" At this time, senior Benjamin had realized that that team was probably my Falcon team, so he quickly asked Noah, "Which team stopped nearly three thousand barbarians from attacking Beran?" The Falcon Squad at the pass of the lake, shouldn’t it be you?”

Noah said with a bitter face and a regretful look on his face: "It's not me, I'm the one who delivered the letter. It was Ji Jia and his orc followers who fought against the barbarians at the pass of Lake Beran!"

Senior Benjamin stood up from his chair very excitedly, and said: "I will send someone to send a letter to the visitors in Lavenham City, telling them that the falcon team guarding the pass of Lake Beran has been found."

I grabbed Senior Benjamin, and said to him: "I think it's better to forget it! I don't want to be too famous, have you noticed that the more famous the Falcon Squad in recent years, the easier it is for the barbarians to fight back? Don't want to be missed by those savages on the icy tundra."

Scholar Benjamin took three deep breaths, still not calmed down from the excitement, he stared at me and asked, "Ji Jia, how did you do it?"

I tried to say a less important reason: "Well, I bought some bed crossbows at a private auction in the imperial capital..."

Benjamin squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said to me: "With all due respect, even if you put all the bed crossbows on the pass of Lake Beran, it may not be able to stop those barbarians."

It seems that senior Benjamin has not been exposed to this kind of magic equipment in his usual training, and he is no stranger to the function of the bed crossbow. He doesn't believe that I can use the bed crossbow to repel the barbarians.

So I took out a heavy magic crossbow arrow from my pocket, and put it on the table with a 'bang'.

I asked him to observe the magic giant crossbow carefully, and asked senior Benjamin: "What if I use this kind of giant crossbow with magic runes on the bed crossbow?"

"The arrow tips of these giant crossbow arrows are really yours?" Senior Benjamin opened his mouth, looked at the tiny magic circle on the arrow tip of the crossbow arrow, touched the undamaged magic spar with his hand, and said to me: "Those The visitor from Lavenham City took two of these giant crossbow arrows with magical rune patterns the day before yesterday."

My gaze also fell on it, and I sighed: "This kind of giant crossbow arrow tip with magic runes is not cheap. I was very careful when cleaning the battlefield, but unfortunately many of them got into the rock wall and couldn't be found. arrive."

Senior Benjamin asked me: "Did you all use magic crossbows in that battle?"

I nodded, and then said: "In addition to the magic crossbow, we also used two barrels of corpse kerosene to light the giant wooden bridge built by the barbarians on the top of the city."

Senior Benjamin looked at me with an extremely complicated expression...
