my age of magic

Chapter 241 41. Roof anecdote
Skillfully reaching out to the eaves outside the window sill of the attic, I climbed out of the window like a civet cat, and lay on the red tiles of the roof reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun. It's scorching hot, and with the cool evening breeze gradually taking away the dry heat on the tiles, it's just warm and very comfortable to lie on at this time.

There are a few golden-rimmed clouds floating in the sky, and the light blue sky is getting darker little by little.The night watchmen in the city began to walk on the streets, carrying a simple ladder, and lit up those exquisite street lamps one by one, adding some kerosene to the street lamps from time to time.The lights were dimly reflected in the windows of the shops on the street.

A middle-aged woman was calling her child's name on the street, and she didn't know where the playful child had gone, which made her a little impatient, and her steps were a little staggering, but there was a black cast iron building not far away. Behind the street light pole, a naughty child pouted his buttocks, covered his mouth, and smiled like a crescent moon, staring intently at the middle-aged woman, but he still refused to come out of the shadows.

A red-haired girl appeared in Sister Guoguo's small yard. She was wearing a tight salamander leather armor, and the workmanship was very exquisite. The dark patterns of flowers are used, and the thickness of each stitched seam is increased by the hemming process. Even if it is torn by a huge force, the leather armor will not crack at the seam.

She stayed on the chair under the lemon tree in the backyard for a while, and then pushed Su back into the house. She should be Annie, Sister Guoguo's other sister, but in the past five years, I never saw her. The number of times can be counted on one hand.Although I can often go to the small courtyard of Sister Guoguo’s house and sit with Su for a while, Su seldom talks about Annie and Guoguo. Sometimes the two of us just sit quietly, she is reading, And I took out a piece of parchment and kept drawing various magic symbols and patterns on it.

Seeing the long fiery red hair draped behind her head, the big waves scattered like a burning flame, Annie looked towards me vigilantly, I knew that at this moment she found that I was looking at them, even if she took it back The gaze will eventually give the impression of being a lewd voyeur, but it is better to wave generously and say hello to the soda under the lemon tree.

Su's eyesight is not very good, maybe because of reading for a long time, it hurts his eyes.That's why I dared to lie on the roof and peek at her at dusk, she wouldn't notice it.But Annie's unexpected appearance brought me to the surface.I simply sat up from the roof and said hello to their sisters.

Watching Annie push Su into the room, I lay back on the roof tiles again.

Occasionally, when I have this kind of free time, I can still run to the Neihe Bridge, sit with Taylor and the others on the steps under the bridge, and watch the people coming and going on the bridge. At this time, there will always be some people in cool clothes. The girl, showing her tender white breasts, walked up and down on the stone bridge. Her leisure time was often like cups of golden cider. sweet.

On the edge of the glass window of the neighbor's attic, two blurred figures were reflected. A strong arm with a cyan flying snake tattoo was embracing a graceful and fair body, and it was tightly attached to the window glass. The entire snow-white back They're all stuck to the windowpanes, showing off their curves, and you don't have to look closely to see that it's Bean, sneaking behind the curtains to make out with his new girlfriend.

I think this guy is really a bit of a death rhythm. His fiancée, Miss Kelly, has a very vicious reputation on this street. We all call Miss Kelly Dali affectionately. Her home is at the bottom of the alley. The family owns a butcher shop, and his father is a cobbler who sells meat for a living. It is said that his temper is very violent. Dali’s personality is very similar to her father’s. Hearing Fanny tell the story of Miss Dali’s childhood, She said that when she was eight years old, she once saw Bin being bullied by the children on the street. Those children chased after Bin and beat him violently with sticks. Take a knife and castrate those children directly.

From then on, Bin began to pursue Dali crazily, and finally after he returned from serving in the Northern Army, the two quickly got engaged, but the woman in the window at this time must not be Sister Dali, Sister Dali's The skin is not so white.I'm really worried for Bin. If Sister Dali finds out about this, with her violent temper, I don't know how Bin will be repaired.

In such a cool and windless evening, lying on the warm roof tiles, closing my eyes, feeling the free magic elements in the surrounding air, those fire and water elements floating in the air, occasionally sticking to my skin It will fly into my hair, melt into my skin through my pores, travel through my body along with my blood, and some will stop at various nodes in my body. It was my original way to condense magic power, but many nodes can't gather too much magic power. How much magic power can be stored in nodes has a lot to do with my body's anti-magic ability and elemental affinity. Now My magic resistance and elemental affinity are very low, so I can't reserve much mana.There will also be some magical power of wind and thunder elements, which will slowly deposit on the shoulder blades on the back. Those two fan-shaped bones are now like batteries full of energy. If it is not wrapped in my own flesh and blood, I believe They even glow.

If before today, even if I had a super keen sense of magic, I would never have felt such a subtle microcosm, but when the magic door in my body was pushed open, I found that I could actually feel the air. The free magic elements in the body can also detect the subtle circumstances of the subtle magic power entering the body during meditation.All the remaining magic elements were sucked into the body by the magic vortex formed in the lower abdomen, and gathered in that deep vortex, which devoured any magic power that approached it like a bottomless pit.

I have read many magic books, and the magic sheepskin scrolls of the orcs have also explained some human magic, especially the awakening magic pool, the biggest secret of human mages, has always been a key research topic for orc shamans. Although those great orc shamans haven't cracked why humans have magic pools until now, they still know a lot about magic pools.

For human magicians, the magic pool in the lower abdomen is like a pool of magic spring water in the body. Usually, magic power is gathered from the limbs and bones and collected in the magic pool. When magicians read magic spells, it is Time to unleash those magic powers.Many classics describe the magical power in a human magician's body as a pool of water.This is where I am most confused. Although I awakened the magic pool today, I think it is not a magic pool, but a very strange magic vortex. This magic vortex absorbs the magic power of the outside world all the time. I recover mana while meditating. Of course, it is better to recover mana while meditating, but in normal state, I can still clearly feel that my body is constantly absorbing mana from the outside world.

After having this terrifying magic pool, I think that the "heating" skill taught to me by the old Kuru will probably never continue to be upgraded, because I can't always keep my magic pool in a state of depletion , After having the magic pool, every time the magic pool in my body is exhausted, it will seriously damage my mental power.

I casually drew a magic circle in the air with my fingers. The "flame tongue weapon" that could be casted easily failed very strangely. I looked at the magic power scattered in the air with some surprise , I couldn't think of the reason for a while.I went on to paint the simpler "anti-magic" again, and the aura of anti-magic surrounded my feet and disappeared after a moment.There is a strange feeling in my body, which is also a state I have never experienced before. Although I haven't made any attempts, I can clearly feel that my body's magic resistance has improved compared to before A lot, which means that the power of the "anti-magic" that I'm using now has not only increased by one level.

I can't understand why the following 'Shadow Cloak' also failed. This skill is the foundation of my life. I have used it to survive countless dangers. This magic skill has been changed because of deep meditation. Can't be interrupted after casting, and I've rarely failed to cast 'Shadow Cloak' since then.Unexpectedly, those cumbersome magic spells and runes did not allow me to successfully release the shadow cloak. I was a little panicked for a while, and I was thinking: Is this the price for my awakening magic pool?

Suddenly, a picture emerged in my spiritual sea. That picture was a passage that old Kuru warned me when he taught me in the wasteland. At that time, he told me that he would , taught me some general magic.He said that these magics do not belong to the orc tribe, nor do they belong to the magic knowledge of the human world, and then he taught me the magic of "anti-magic", "heating", "shadow cloak", "flame tongue weapon", "walking on water" and so on one by one Skills, these magical skills once allowed me to defeat many enemies in the northern foot wasteland.

But now, after I awakened the magic pool, I can't use these skills. I'm a little frustrated.

I reached out and removed the tiger eye stone drum from my waist, and tried to send a fire element into it again, but the result was very frustrating. The tiger eye stone drum didn't respond at all, as if sending those magic power Like getting into a rock.

What is the actual cause?

Why did these general-purpose magics that were once prosperous disappear, and even gradually disappeared in the dust of history, and gradually lost their inheritance.What is the reason for the loss of these magics?And when I didn't awaken the magic pool, I could barely use the simple magic of the orc tribe, but now I can't even use the most basic stone drum totem. What's going on?
It's also sad that the shaman elders who are in charge of managing these stone drum totems in the orc race don't care much about the stone drum totems in the warehouse. They have also mentioned that these stone drum totems are of no use to human magicians .

I started to run the magic in my body, and only then did I realize that every time I used the magic power, I would naturally extract the magic power from the magic vortex, patted my head hard, and said in my heart: Why am I so stupid? , Obviously the old Kuru had warned me that these magic skills cannot be used by the mages who have awakened the magic pool, so why did I forget about this matter.

I tried to give up using the magic power in the magic vortex when releasing magic skills, but to absorb the magic power in each node in the body.But this is a bit difficult for me. I collect the magic power hidden in the nodes in my body little by little. Spellcast failed.

I started to get irritable. These inexplicable irritability came from the extreme panic in my inner world. I started to panic. After losing the barrier of magic, I felt like a weak chicken. In the basement.I tousled my hair a little frantically, my throat was a little dry, I swallowed a mouthful of spittle with difficulty, looking for a glass of water to drink but found myself still lying on the tiles of the roof.

A tile was accidentally loosened, and some of the concrete between the tiles loosened and rolled down to the bottom of the eaves, making a messy and broken sound of "crash clatter", which also alarmed the affectionate couple next to the window next door. The girl didn't expect that there would be someone enjoying their silent movie on the opposite roof, so she covered her hands and hid behind the curtains, while Bin pushed open the glass window with her upper body on her back, and poked her head into it. I came out and looked around, and saw that it was me, so I said to me indifferently: "Hey, Ji Jia, you don't want to go to your god-sister for milk, you are hiding on the roof and watching blindly, Tracy That little girl must taste good, don't let others get ahead of you, and you will marry a second-hand one in the future!"

Bean is a mean guy, he knows very well that Tracy and I don't get on well, he's even in Tracy's small camp, but it doesn't look like I think, he's not Tracy's My friend, I guess the reason why he was able to sneer at me like this actually came from Leon, he should be Leon's friend, otherwise there would be no reason to say such vile and mean words to me under such circumstances.

I looked up at the sky expressionlessly. In the evening sky, against the background of the burning clouds, there was a light purple color. I said to myself: "It may be raining, Bin, you have to remember to close it." window!"

Bin's thought at this time was actually to make trouble, he wanted to take the opportunity to fix me up, Bin is much older than Tracy.He always thought I was a brat, and he could knock me down with just one hand.If I showed a slight displeasure, he would have a reason to attack me.But I just said very elusively, "It's going to rain!"

In fact, the relationship between Leant and Bin's father is very good. There is a wire between the small attics of our two families. Usually, this wire is used to dry clothes, but at this time it becomes a medium for conducting lightning. I will I stepped on this wire, and then concentrated on melting the frozen ice in the sea of ​​spirits. A silver arc shot out of my body quickly, and went out along the thin wire.

He looked at me with some doubts, but I smiled and said to him: "When you are a dog, you must remember to have fun in front of the owner. People can't see it now. If you talk about loyalty like this, who will you show it to?" When you are a human being, you must not have such a smelly mouth, or you may be struck by lightning!"

Before I could finish my sentence, I screamed with my upper body bare, and my whole body seemed to explode, and I fell on my back covered in black, as if struck by lightning.

Seeing that something was not going well, I "chucked" and quickly went back to the attic. At this time, there were noisy voices in the attic of the neighbor's house, and I smiled secretly, feeling an indescribable joy in my heart.Of course, the young man named Bing will not be in any danger, but he will definitely suffer, I thought.

Just as I came in through the attic window, I saw Tracy sitting at the wooden table by the window, resting her chin on one hand, looking out the window intently. Obviously she didn't expect that I would suddenly return to the attic , I happened to see her peeking at me.

Tracy stood up slowly and walked straight out of my room. When she was about to reach the door, she turned to me and said, "Congratulations, you have become a magician!"

I think this may be the gentlest side of Tracy!She didn't want to question Bin, but directly pushed open the wooden door of the attic, and walked out lightly!
