my age of magic

Chapter 139

One thing has to be admitted, the Kurtz family's castle is very large.Even the sundry warehouses and stables behind the castle were built in style.A long row has been built in the large yard at the back, and our Yagui animals are raised in the animal pen on the northernmost side next to the garden wall.In the morning, I followed Kurtz to see it.In the past two days, it has been well taken care of. When it saw Kurtz, it still put its huge head on Kurtz's arms in a joyous manner, and made a close relationship with Kurtz.

I walked out of the restaurant where ordinary guests were served, and found a castle gate at random, only to find that I was in the backyard of the castle, and it was already dusk.I've been busy almost all day, no wonder my stomach keeps ringing like a drum.

I sat on a stone by the edge of an artificial pool, gnawing on a long piece of black bread.Then I started to look for the way out of the garden with my eyes. I clearly remember that in the morning, I walked around the left side of the castle with Kurz, and I should take a look there later.

The orange setting sun stretched the shadows of the scenery in the garden for a long time, the sky darkened and the scenery became blurred.There are many apple trees in the garden, and the shadows of the trees are dim when the evening wind blows.The eaves of the warehouses were very low, and they were neatly arranged row by row. Some hay that hadn't been pushed into the warehouses was piled up in the aisle, and these warehouses looked a bit messy.

I have been to this garden twice, and the goods unloaded from Yagui beasts are stored in the warehouse next to the stables, but there should be nothing there now, and all the herbs have been sold in the morning. A wooden box of magic materials.Those magic antelope skins made us a lot of money, in exchange for 47 gold coins.Those captured weapons were also sold for fifteen gold coins.

In this way, our pockets have become rich again.Kuz wanted to use the antelope horns to make some short spears and distribute them to the orc girls in the Raitu tribe. For a long time, they needed to protect themselves with short spears. The sling was sharp, but it was difficult fatal blow.The spear made of the horn of the magic antelope can easily pierce the wind wolf, which is very practical.

I was really hungry. I ate half of the black bread in one go, only to realize that the bread was crumbly. When I swallowed it, it made my throat a little itchy, and now the dry bread made me feel thirsty.The water in the artificial pool is very clear, and it should be used for drinking water for the animals in the stables.I jumped off the rock, squatted beside me, supported my body with my hands, and stuck my head into the pool to drink two sips of water.

At this moment, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and someone was coming.

I was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and asked them the way. I didn't want to go around in circles in this back garden and waste time.

But I heard an orc's voice saying: "I heard that Master Kuz came back this time and brought back a lot of good things?"

"It's nothing unusual, just a whole bag of clover, Ningshenhua and kudzu root. Oh, and two bundles of sheepskin! Two long wooden boxes." Another orc said.

I was a little familiar with this voice. After thinking about it for a while, the appearance of the attendant in charge of the warehouse appeared in my mind. His orc language was very bad, his accent was very strong, and he always brought some dialects.

"Take me to see. I haven't been to the northern foot wasteland. I heard that there are flocks of buffaloes and sheep in that wasteland, the products are abundant, and magic herbs grow in patches." The previous orc continued. It seems that they are very familiar.

The attendant guarding the warehouse didn't even think about it, so he said, "Go ahead, but brother, you are late, those things were moved out in the afternoon, and the warehouse is empty now."

"what!"

The footsteps of the two people gradually moved away, and I slowly revealed my figure under the shadow of the apple tree next to the stone, and left along the way they came. The magic of "Shadow Cloak" seems to be pretty good, otherwise if they know that I heard those words, they don't know what they will think in their hearts. If they think that I know their secrets and have malicious intentions towards me, at this time, my shotgun has no power. By my side, I am so small, what can I do?
It seems that there are still many people who want to find out about Kurz’s reality. In this castle, various forces are entangled. It is definitely not something that small arms and legs like Kurz and I can provoke. The only way to get out of this right and wrong place is quickly, otherwise I don’t know what’s going on. Sometimes it will be inexplicably eaten so that even the bones can't be found.

Sure enough, there was not much time, so I turned to the square in front of the castle.At this time, Kuz was walking this way, and when he saw me coming out of the back garden, he complained, "Jia, it's almost time for dinner, where have you been? I'm going to find you."

I raised the half loaf of black bread left in my hand, and walked back with Kuz shoulder to shoulder: "I'm a little hungry, and you will disappear as soon as I get a piece of bread from the restaurant."

Kurz took my hand away, and said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, my mother saw this and had to nag me for a long time."

He glanced at the maid behind him with a guilty conscience. From the first day Kurz came home, as long as Kurz was in the castle, she always followed behind Kurz. A very upright wolf orc girl, the place where it should be big is big, and the place where it is thinner is soft and thin, but she has a poker face all day long, very boring, far inferior to the passionate Gerile.

On the right side of the castle square, there is a martial arts field rammed with loess, and some utensils such as stone piers and stone mills are placed on the edge.When I woke up in the morning, I could still see young orcs practicing on the training ground.During the day, there are almost no people here.Unexpectedly, before dinner, there was a circle of people here, and Kurtz and I also went over to watch the excitement.I got into the crowd and squeezed to the front, only to see Chief Kut standing in the middle of the arena. He was only wearing chain mail trousers, and his bare upper body showed bronze-colored strong muscles. He was kicking the young werewolf who was coming up from the side Kicking it away with one kick caused applause from all around.

I think that Kurt stood there like a ferocious wolf who chooses to eat people. As soon as I was caught by his eyes full of sternness, I felt a chill in my bones, and my soul trembled for a little bit. , that's just how it feels to me.The danger he brings to me is far more than the white wolf tribe warrior Mika I met in the wasteland.Riros is much bigger.There were more than a dozen young werewolves lying in disorder on the martial arts arena, and each of them dared to get up and fight again.

"A group of bears, stand up and fight again!" Kurt said coldly, looking at the young werewolves around him.

These people were the group of young werewolves I had seen at dinner yesterday, and there were a few familiar faces who had shown their bravery in front of Qige.Kurt turned around and happened to see Kurtz, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xiaoqi, do you want to come down and try?"

"Okay!" Kurtz replied without thinking. I always thought that this kid should not be a werewolf. He is too upright, more like those barbarians on the ice and snow tundra. reckless.But it is a werewolf like him who truly inherits the wildness of orcs, brave, persistent, and firm.

The young werewolves lying on the arena heard Kurtz's quick promise, as if they heard the sounds of nature. Two or three quickly got up, supported each other and quickly left the arena. When they saw them leave, their expressions were relaxed. I was a little secretly worried about Kurtz.I grabbed an orc attendant who was watching the excitement and asked him: "Does Chief Kut always come here to test young people's martial arts?"

"Only once a month!" The orc attendant replied cheerfully when he lowered his head and saw that I was a child.Seeing me being pushed forward by the crowd, the attendant yelled at my back, "Why are you crowded? Stay back and back."

I quickly squeezed a sweet smile at him, this guy also stood proudly behind me, using his body to help me block the crowd behind me, and then said to me: "It used to be Kurad The big chief is here to guide them, and in recent months it has been Chief Kut who presides over it. But this is already a practice, and every year before the coming-of-age ceremony, the young masters will become more diligent. It's a shame. Only orcs who have acquired the status of warrior, hunter, and shaman are eligible to be tattooed by tribal warriors at the coming-of-age ceremony. I heard that the seventh young master of Kuz hunted demons in the northern foot wasteland Antelope, if this is true, he will have a tattoo of a magic antelope on his chest at the coming-of-age ceremony, and no young man has ever had this honor in recent years!"

I asked curiously: "Then according to what you said, if he hunted a swamp zombie before the coming-of-age ceremony, would he still have to tattoo that zombie on his body?"

"You child is very smart! You are right. You speak the orc language very well, with the accent of our Gludin town. You are a human child who grew up in Gludin town? Who are you? Your guest?" The orc servant asked me curiously, and then he didn't care whether I answered, he stretched out his arm, showing the exquisite sheep head tattooed on it, and said, "Look, this is when I went to visit my master last autumn. We got it from hunting in the wilderness, and we were lucky enough to catch a magic antelope that was too old to run, haha, so we got this tattoo."

"Hey, I said Gigi, are you bragging to others about your leaks from last year?" A mocking voice came from behind.

The attendant who was called Cheng Jiji immediately looked like a cockfighting chicken, staring back and shouting, "You are Chi Guoguo's envy!"

Only then did I know that the coming-of-age ceremony is not simply a dance or a buffet party, and many strange patterns will be tattooed on the coming-of-age ceremony. These patterns will show that each young werewolf is in the tribe specific strength and status.

Kuz swiftly took off the magic antelope leather light armor he was wearing, and put it in the hand of the maid beside him.The maid was squatting on the side, and at this moment she looked at Kurtz with fiery eyes. The orcs worship the brave. Concerned about the eyes of everyone around him, under Kurt's powerful pressure, he carefully did a set of extremely simple gymnastics. That's right, the gymnastics I taught him was mainly for exercising all parts of the body before strenuous exercise. Move around so as not to cause joint sprains.

Kurt sucked his neat teeth with the tip of his scarlet tongue, and his eyes were like knives.

Standing in the middle of the field, he looked like a majestic mountain, obviously not much higher than Kurz, but when he looked at Kurz, he would give people a very strong feeling of overlooking.He said lightly: "Xiaoqi, are you afraid that I will smash your light armor with one punch?"

Kurz smiled, he put on an offensive posture, and then said: "Brother, I'm here!"

This "big brother" made Kurt's knife-like eyes instantly become weaker by three points.

Kurtz's speed was very fast, and he rushed in front of Kurt within a few breaths, making a deep voice, inhaling, and punching out in one go.But Kurt easily caught it with one hand, and said calmly, "That's all you can do? You, a little hunter, have all your abilities on that bow, why don't you take your bow and fight with me?"

After finishing speaking, Kurt gently raised his hand, and the hand that blocked Kurtz's fist was imprinted silently on Kurtz's chest, pushing Kurtz more than ten meters away.

Kurtz rubbed his chest with his hands, grinning in pain, but shook his head and said, "What I lack is experience in close combat, not with a bow and arrow."

After all, Kurtz ran again. His figure was constantly changing while running, or jumped up, or shortened. If an experienced hunter stands here and looks at it, he will understand that these are all running. It's just that Kurtz doesn't have a hunting bow in his hand now. Seeing that Kurtz is not afraid of the pain, Kurt nodded with great satisfaction, and took half a step forward with his left foot, making only one The movement of crossing his hands in front of his chest directly washed away the momentum and rhythm brought out by Kuz's running.

At this time, Kurtz had already arrived in front of Kurtz, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he rolled to the left, but at this moment, Kurtz's right foot seemed to have stopped on the track where Kurtz rolled, and the hard cowhide His leather boot kicked directly on Kurtz's right ribs, and Kurtz was like a wind wolf shot by an arrow in the wasteland, and rolled out with a howl.

The people watching all around took a breath of air. Just when everyone was wondering whether Kurtz could still get up, Kurtz, like a wild boar in heat, shot at Kurt again like a feathered arrow, and Kurt hid sideways. After Kurz's punching punch, when his old style was about to end and the new style was not born, a powerful big hand grabbed Kurz's wrist and pulled it in the direction where Kurz was exerting strength. Kurz's center of gravity was unstable and miserable. The ground flew out, causing dust to fly in the arena for a while.

"I'm coming, charge!" Kurt greeted before moving.

The skill I hate the most is the warrior's "Charge." It will stun the opponent very brutally. With my small body, I don't need to be stunned for two seconds, half a second will be directly hit by the opponent's old punch. .Therefore, after the battle at Taniguchi, and the experience of being grabbed by the throat by Ming Qian at the water source of the valley and almost being strangled to death, Kuz and I deduce that day's battle occasionally, the most unsolvable It's the 'Charge' skill. What we talked about most together was how to avoid the charge.

At this moment, Kurtz was like a kite in Kurt's hand. Just a second before Kurt turned into a white light and rushed to Kurtz, Kurtz flew out backwards like a kite following Kurt's fist wind, steadily Landing steadily on the edge of the arena, with two empty hands in a bow and arrow posture, he showed a proud smile to Kurt.

I actually avoided it, and my mouth was so wide that I could almost swallow a peach.Kurtz's body coordination is really good, and he can use his strength to make his body fly backwards.

"It's not bad, but if my 'charge' doesn't stop in time, you will still be stunned for a while, even if you jump away. So before that, you must trap me with a trap technique, or you will die Just wait to be wrestled by warriors! I don’t know how many cleaves you can avoid, but this move of yours is considered ingenious, hehe, have you suffered from the ‘charge’ skill?” Kurt stopped and walked over, Kuz, who was squatting on the edge of the arena, stood up and asked.

Kurz scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said: "My brother Ji Jia and I encountered a gray dwarf at the exit of the road of death, my brother was knocked unconscious by a dwarf, and almost died, so we usually always How to dodge this 'charge' will be discussed."

"Why don't you ask Grandpa?" Kurt asked with a relieved smile.

Kuz stared wide-eyed, rubbed his chest with his hands and gasped for air, and said, "I want to see if I can solve it!"

"Actually, you just need to stride three meters sideways. En~ The timing of the leap is very important. It can't be too early, otherwise the fighters on the opposite side will change direction before you, and it must not be too late, or they will jump out later. Sometimes you will be knocked unconscious, not only be knocked unconscious, but also be knocked flying. At that time, you will be miserable. If the fighter on the other side is picking you up in the air with a "dragon strike", you will not be far from death. Just jump out at the same time as he starts, if you can dodge it, then he will be the one who gets dizzy. Come on, let's try again..." Kurt patiently made a gesture to Kurtz Explaining, the people around were stunned.

The group of young werewolves rushed forward and listened carefully to Kurt's battle experience.Then I saw Kurz happily being treated as a human sandbag again and being knocked out.Unexpectedly, there are many ways to decipher these combat skills. What Kurtz and I usually think about are too childish. Now, after hearing Kurt's explanation, it feels like a magnificent door has opened to us.
