my age of magic

Chapter 366 166. The Knights of El City

The few of us standing on a protruding rock on the halfway of Mount Antiea can see the outline of the city of El from a distance. This city is not considered a great city, but for hundreds of years, it has It has withstood the barbarians from the north countless times, and it still stands by the mountain after several wind and rain.It was already evening, and the clouds in the sky were piling up, and those white clouds were covered with a layer of golden clouds. Just at this time, the clouds on the top of the foothills where the Magic Academy is located scattered, and a golden radiance shone down like a beam of light. We can clearly see I can see the council hall in the center of the city, which represents the highest power center in El City, and the Magic Academy hidden in the dense forest. Those magnificent buildings show the heritage of the city.

The huge building complex not far away is where the temple is located. No one would have thought that a secret base full of evil and the dark atmosphere of hell would be grandly built beside the temple. Walking around, I am afraid that you will be able to find the clues left by the hellhound in the forest. It was not until the traces of the hellhound appeared in the city of El that the panicked people were discovered. It turns out that the root of the curse has been hidden under the halo of the temple. What an irony.

Looking at the sea-like black pine forest under my feet, the sound of crows came from my feet, and the wind blew by, and the rustling of leaves in the forest was like the tide of the sea.Cindy looked at the scene with a flushed face, probably thinking of her home in the small town of Maas in her heart.Annie hugged Su from her back, let her lie comfortably on my back, then looked at me seriously, and said to me: "Bring her home, I know I really underestimated you before, as a As a magic apprentice, you are outstanding, I know you are capable of protecting Su!"

"Sister!" Su wrote worry on her face, facing Annie's fair face, but she didn't say anything more. Since she knew that Annie's decision could not be changed, speaking out would only make her feel a heavier burden. In that case, it would be better not to say it.

"Have you decided to go?" I carried Su on my back, her breasts that had just begun to develop were stuck to my back, and my heart was beating like a drum. Only I knew Su's current state. How nervous was my heart, Su put her sharp chin on my shoulders, and put a pair of slender hands around my neck, watching Annie jumping off the rock pitifully.

"Sister, be careful!" Su finally said in a low voice when Annie left, the voice was so small that I could hear it vaguely when I was behind her back.

Annie was wearing that salamander leather armor, and when she was running in the forest, she looked like a dancing flame.

Thick smoke rose from the villa, and the mountain road leading to the manor was full of cavalry from the guard regiment. Following the intermittent mountain road in the forest, and looking forward, only to find that a large number of people piled up in a pass The gravel, probably because of the gravel blocked the road, so that the old cavalrymen of the guard battalion were crowded on the mountain road, the horses in bright armor snorted irritably on the mountain road, and the roadside forest The little beasts began to migrate with their families, and those boring knight lords began to poke their knight spears up, stand aside with their shields, and gather in twos and threes to chat and fart.

The knights who stopped at the front had given up their spears and heavy shields, and just lined up over the chaotic rocks with their swords in hand.

I carefully walked down the rock with Su on my back. I felt that I should be closer to the knights on the mountain road. That is the safest place on Mount Antiea. The magic badge issued by the Magic Academy, tidy up your messy hair slowly, and try to make your appearance look clean. Only in this way can those knight masters see my identity clearly. My identity as a magician apprentice may be seen in the eyes of others. Come on, it's nothing, but as long as I don't leave the upper class circle of Ayr City, some people always want to give me some face. Maybe it's not because of me, but they will see those people standing behind me, such as Heidi Teachers, Yerkes scholars, Lord Godfrey, these nobles who can be called celebrities in El City.

I held Cindy's little white hand in one hand, and asked her to be as obedient as possible. Maybe this would make people automatically think of her as the personal maid of a nobleman, or the maid of a noble lady. Holding Su's half leg, I walked down the mountain along the gentle slope of the rock. Su's lips were pressed against my ear, and he said to me softly: "Jia, I don't really want to go back to the city, I want to stay Waiting for my sister, even if I go back, I can't feel at ease."

I said: "OK!"

The three of us, twelve or thirteen-year-old children, were walking in the mountains and forests, and it seemed a little strange. At this time, Mount Antiea had been blocked by a large number of knights from the guard battalion. As long as there was a slight disturbance, it would attract patrols. In the deeper part of the mountain forest, some demon hunters have already withdrawn here ahead of time. It seems that the entire upper echelons of El City and those nobles hiding behind are very concerned about this operation.

As for why it took so much effort, I think it's probably because those hellhounds have already made the whole of El City panic, and those nobles in El City made such a big move in order to stabilize the situation.

From a distance, I saw little Evan standing next to his Gu Bolai horse, using a scraper to shave off the sweat of the horse. During such a short break, he took the trouble to remove the heavy cloak on the Gu Bolai horse. He took off the armor so that his beloved mount could rest for a while. He secretly took out a handful of black beans from his arms and quickly wiped them into the horse's mouth. Chewing, as long as someone's eyes glanced over, he would stop his mouth immediately, and shake his big head as if nothing had happened, until those eyes wandered away, then he would continue to chew as if nothing had happened.

I took Cindy out of the forest, and the first thing I approached was little Evan. I slowly crawled out of the barren meadow with Su on my back. Before those idle knights could shout Before the three of us stayed, he took the lead in shouting sweetly to little Evan: "Brother Evan!"

This shout made those knights who felt a little bit bored sigh, and returned to their own circle, no longer having any interest in the three of us.

Those companions who were familiar with little Evan saw me coming, they leaned over to little Evan and asked him with a smile: "Oh, Evan, do you know that student from the Magic Academy?"

"It's my neighbor, his name is Jijia, a magic apprentice at the Magic Academy, and his father, Ryan, is a swordsmanship instructor at Steins Academy. I heard that he also has very good Western rapier swordsmanship, but in comparison, magic It's more suitable for him!" Little Evan introduced me in detail, I never thought that this young big boy who usually doesn't talk much, has such a delicate mind and knows a lot about me.

"Are you chasing her sister again? Why are you so familiar with their family?" The companions on the side asked with a smile, but undoubtedly, these words of little Evan completely dispelled the last doubts of these knights. Apprentices, there are only thirty or so in El City. No one would think that a freshman magic apprentice would have anything to do with that manor. Magic apprentices naturally need to hide under the powerful wings of the magic teachers of the magic academy. No one dared to rashly provoke magic apprentices, those magic teachers with weird personalities were simply unreasonable.

Little Evan scratched his head and said, "At that time, I really wanted to learn the Western rapier! I thought at the time that it would be really good to be able to enter the Steins Academy!"

"Our Evan is an excellent student in the swordsman class of the Zhanzheng College. I never thought that I would be so humble when I was a child!" A young man next to him said with his arms around Evan's shoulders. Little Evan blushed. open his arms,

Little Evan is an honest child. He has a good temper and is very polite to others. When he saw me carrying Su on my back, he hurried over to hold my hand, and asked me with concern: "Ji Jia, why are you carrying Su? How did Su come here?"

Obviously, the news of Su becoming an apprentice priest has not been officially spread in the streets, and few people know about Su going to the temple as an apprentice priest.

In this way, little Evan felt that I took Su out to play recklessly, and I smiled and said to little Evan: "It's Su who was curious about this side and wanted to come here to have a look, but I didn't expect to drill I got lost in the woods, but fortunately I met Brother Evan! Otherwise, we would still be wandering in the woods!"

"This is not very safe. Don't run around. I have a mission and I can't leave now. I will send you back to the city. Follow me first. Stay aside and don't make trouble, and don't run around. I will send you two little ones after the mission is over." Guy go home!" Little Evan said to me with a smile as he stroked my hair.

What Su and I were waiting for was for Little El to say these words, so that we could stay in a legitimate way. Su and I looked at each other with pride and joy in our eyes.

"The relationship between the two of you is still so good!" When little Evan walked, the scales of the armor on his body made a harsh sound, like the sound of grinding teeth.

We followed Little Evan back to his place. He spread a blanket on the side of the road, let Sue and I sit on it to rest, and served us milk tea.The standard configuration of the cavalry includes milk tea, an easy-to-carry drink, which is probably made by mixing milk powder and ground tea leaves, but the only trouble is that you need to pick up some branches and boil a pot of boiling water. Milk tea has many benefits. It can be more helpful to digest meat food, quench thirst, and can also satisfy hunger when necessary, and is easy to carry.

Naturally, I will not let little Evan entertain me for nothing. I still have a few scrolls of focused fire in my magic pocket. This kind of quick and convenient scroll is very suitable for opening the scroll when the horse team stops for a short rest, and then Set up a simple shelf, boil a pot of boiling water and make a bowl of fragrant milk tea.My series of skillful movements almost made little Evan look stupid. He never thought that someone could use magic scrolls as fuelwood to boil water in a luxurious way.

"This... is this... a magic scroll?" He leaned closer to me and asked me.

I replied, "Ha! This is the most basic scroll!"

"You usually bring things to boil water?" Evan was a little envious of me. It seems that the life of a magic apprentice is not bad.

I pressed the four corners of the scroll with small stones to prevent the scroll from rolling up by itself. I watched the red flames burn, and the magic pattern circle on the parchment was running freely. I said to him: "It's not worth a few dollars. , This kind of small scroll is made of some leftovers of magic parchment, and the ink is also the cheapest magic ink, um, and the most important thing is - I! Will! Draw!"

I took out all the remaining scrolls and stuffed them to little Evan.

The upright little Evan was naturally a little stunned. It seemed that he had received a gift-like bribe for the first time in his life. The bundle of scrolls was put away, and he took out a roll from the inside and stuffed it into his arms, and approached me very courteously, and said to me: "I'm not very good at using this thing, how can I use this?"

I looked up at him. He was very tall and tall, with sharp edges and corners on his face, thick eyebrows, big eyes and high nose bridge. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed together, and there were many crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.He was wearing a steel armor and couldn't squat down at all. He could only bend down and look at the pot curiously. The milk tea inside had already foamed up a thick layer of white foam, and the strong fragrance had already wafted out. I pointed at his waist He smiled and untied it and handed it to me, and I poured him a cup of milk tea from the pot...

This brother Evan's companion untied his milk tea bag very wisely, poured a bag of milk tea into the cauldron, and poured some water in again.Let the pot continue to boil the milk tea.

I took the scroll in his hand and unfolded it against the wind. A strong flame burst out, which startled him.I quickly rolled up the scroll again, and the flame disappeared suddenly, then I looked at him and asked, "How is it, isn't it very simple?"

"It's really simple. The lives of magicians are really wonderful. With this thing, marching in the field doesn't seem so scary!" Brother Evan's companion opened and closed the scroll in his hand more than a dozen times, and praised in amazement . "Why didn't you know that there are such good things in the magic shop before, how much does this thing cost?"

"Twenty silver coins, maybe it will be cheaper in the future!" I said with a smile.

Evan looked at the bundle of magic scrolls in his hand and said in surprise, "It's so expensive!"

Brother Evan's companion didn't care about Evan's reaction, but murmured to us: "He is an elm-headed guy! If there is anything he can do to help, just say, we can't do it, I will I’d rather put on this old face to beg our captain than to help you do it, of course I know you won’t ask too hard for us!”

"Of course, I just hope that when you big brothers are besieging the manor for a while, you can see that my sister can take care of her in private. You don't need to release her, as long as she is not injured, I will go to the academy for the rest. The teachers come forward to solve the problem, as long as no one gets hurt or wronged!" I poured out some milk tea and handed it to Su who was sitting on the blanket, then squinted at Brother Evan's companion.

"Your sister?" Evan's companion asked a little puzzled.

"Well, she went to the manor with her classmates to watch the fun and left us here, but I think they might suffer a disadvantage. Since they meet acquaintances in the guard camp, saying hello may have unexpected effects!" I told him explain.

A few of us got together to chat, and then the knights around could smell the aroma of milk tea. In fact, I just added a little bit of salt and a little bit of honey to it. The knights on this road all smelled a faint fragrance, and after waiting for a long time, these knights, who were a little bored, gathered along the fragrance...

Then someone began to praise me for making milk tea, and Su and I quickly integrated into the Knights. At least they knew that there were two interesting children who made milk tea that was very sweet, spoke nicely, and were very polite. The one with a broken leg The poor girl is still waiting for her sister, if life is not forced, who would risk rushing into the manor to fight for their lives!It is said that there are groups of hell dogs locked up there...

After a while, white foam came out of my cauldron again, but at the same moment, the horn sounded, and the knights immediately picked up their teacups, even if they didn't finish the milk tea, they still poured it into their mouths forcibly. Drink it, and then get ready to go. As for the milk tea is still too hot, those who can't drink it will throw it away decisively. It seems that the military discipline of the Knights is not as bad as imagined!

I was secretly thinking.
