my age of magic

385 Chapter 185. Trouble at the door
Usually, I rarely have the opportunity to stand on the roof of the teaching building to see the scenery of the whole city.

Looking down from where I am, the cleanest area in the city is the southeast corner. Most of the buildings here are small two-story buildings. These small attics with different characteristics are arranged in rows. There are exquisite small gardens in the backyard of the building, which are full of lush fruit trees and flowers. Neat trees are planted on both sides of the street, forming rows of green shade for pedestrians to enjoy the coolness. The carriage passed by, and it can also drive very smoothly on the straight and flat streets. The southeast corner of the entire city is considered a wealthy area in the city. My home is at the very edge of this area, and Yingli's residence is in this Central location of the area.

The northern part of the city is the poor area. Although the houses here look like two-story buildings, most of them are simple tube buildings, which look quite old.Although there are green trees on the streets, most of them are golden apple trees. In this season, green golden apples are already hanging on the lush fruit trees. These fruit trees are also a source of livelihood for the residents of the slums.

On the north-south central axis of the city, there is a clean and tidy commercial street, which is the most famous central street in El City, but this street is divided into north and south, and the two central streets are divided by Central Hill in the center of the city For two, only by bypassing the Huanshan Road built around the foot of the mountain can we reach the other end of Central Avenue.

Most of the shops on Central South Street are high-end shops, mainly magic shops, tailor shops, leather shops, herbal medicine shops, and weapon shops. The most high-end goods in the city are sold here. In the southwest corner of the city, there are large The famous auction house, the grand theater, and the guard camp in El City are located here. As for the northern part of the city, apart from the slums, there are free markets, livestock markets, slave markets and other busy markets.

The whole small city is surrounded by a 16-meter-high city wall. The bottom of the city wall is ten meters thick. There are four gates and tall archery towers on the four corners of the city wall. Light ballistas are placed on the city wall. They can easily pierce the thick chests of barbarians on the ice and snow tundra, and those barbarians would stop here in the past few decades.

On the other side of the city's outer moat, some homeless and untouchables live there. When disasters come, this place will be razed to the ground.But in peacetime, it is a paradise for homeless and refugees.

The environment here is very poor, dirty garbage is piled up everywhere, and there are no special personnel responsible for cleaning it up, but there are also good things there, that is, the city's tax collectors never stop there, and it is adjacent to the moat, and there is a free supply of water , In addition, there are relief stations set up here all the year round, where you can receive free black bread. Of course, each person can only receive one piece a day, which can only ensure that no one will starve to death.

At my feet is a rich and quiet northern town. Standing on the top of the roof, I feel that as long as it is a little higher, I can reach the clouds on the horizon. Ying Li looks at the temple in the distance at the corner of the roof. The clouds over there were very low, and the entire outline of Mount Antiea could not be seen clearly. The entire temple was also under the clouds, and some taller buildings even went straight into the clouds.

Taking advantage of the break between classes, we sneaked to the rooftop to watch the city scenery together. This was recommended by Yerkes. He told me that if there is a chance, we must go to the rooftop of the teaching building of the Magic Guild to see the whole city. From there Looking down, it will have a different taste.

I started to tell about what happened on Saturday afternoon. I mentioned that a priest in the temple tried to arrest me and lock me in the manor behind the mountain. Ying Li looked a little sad and said silently: "Auntie is right. The temple is full of rotten smell, only by cutting off the carrion with a sharp knife can the whole temple be restored to life and get the blessing of the goddess. Maybe this is an extremely painful process, but if you can’t Remove those tumors, and the temple will continue to decay."

It seems that the words of the elder Angel Boulder who lived in the temple were particularly touching to Ying Li, and she recounted those words in full.

I looked carefully in the direction of my home in the distance, trying to find Su’s small yard. There was a lemon tree in the backyard of her home. Thinking of Ya’er’s warning to me the night before, I said to Yingli: “I never thought of God. The priests in the temple are actually in contact with the evil mages of the Black Magic Priory. This is really something that people can't figure out anyway. Maybe there will be some reactions from the Magic Guild, and the guard battalion will continue to investigate. After all This is related to the safety of the entire city. The night before yesterday I saw Teacher Morayal patrolling the bushes in the park."

After saying this, I suddenly regretted it, why did I mention Morayal in front of Yingli?

There was also a hint of surprise in the way she looked at me, with a playful smile on her face, she looked at me curiously, and was waiting for me to continue talking.

So I could only bite the bullet and continue, but anyway, I felt a little guilty, and my voice became weaker, like a child who made a mistake: "You know, she is a very outstanding wood magician As a teacher, as long as there are trees and jungles, it is her home field.She said that maybe there are still escaped fish in the manor in El City, maybe they are all members of the Black Magic Priory. "

I continued to Ying Li: "I think El City is full of potential dangers recently, so you should be more careful these days!"

This sentence is what I want to finally express to her. She walked slowly from the corner of the roof. Her figure is relatively tall among girls of the same age. At least she is by no means shorter than me now. I found that her height was actually the same as mine, maybe it was because she was with Helena and Lagertis all day long, they were both of that kind of extremely slender and good figure.

She stood in front of me, slightly covered her lips with a rather surprised smile, and then said to me: "Jijia, sometimes you can always give me a little illusion, like... like a child who doesn't grow up .”

I rubbed my nose, thinking that this is not something to praise.

"Jijia, don't you want to ask me about Nichols?" Ying Li put his hands behind his ears and turned to ask me.She sighed resentfully again, looked at me cautiously and said, "Just now in class, I know he must have said something to you!"

I asked her back in surprise: "Nikles only told me that the emperor of the Green Empire decreed that you betrothed to him. Could there be other hidden secrets?"

Seeing that I didn't care about it, Ying Li was slightly disappointed when he heard what I said.

She turned her head to look at the city street scene in the distance, avoiding my gaze, and didn't want me to see the lost gaze in her eyes, then tried to make her voice calmer, and said, "That's it, I thought you Will be very concerned about this matter!"

"Yeah! Of course I care, after all, he has come to the door!" I said without any concealment.

She looked up at my face in surprise and saw a burning flame in my sincere eyes, I stared at her face which was not perfect, although she would never give people the feeling of being amazing , but she is very attractive, her face always gives people a bright breath, which can only be found when you look closely.

I slowly said to her: "I know, the emperor of the Green Empire must not know that there is a little magic apprentice like me in El City in Sloit Province. As your elder, he has the right to find for you For the happiness of the rest of my life, I don’t deny that Nichols has all the good qualities of the nobles. Of course, he also has a little bit of elf aristocratic pride, but this is by no means a bad thing. So I must grow up quickly, Obtain the qualification to meet Emperor Green, tell him what happened between us, and let him take back the royal order!"

Ying Li didn't expect that I would make such a positive comment on the half-elf noble boy Nichols. He looked at me in a daze, with moving stars shining in his eyes, and said coquettishly: "But you can't hit him, after all, he is still here." My guest, I have to save some face for the royal family. If Nichols just ran back to the imperial capital crying with that dark circle under his eyes, how would you like me to explain to my uncle!"

I then said to her: "But I need to declare sovereignty to him. I have to tell him: he is late. Tell you some of my experience. I think sometimes fists are the last word."

She pursed her lips and smiled, and her hanging heart completely returned to its original place. She smiled like a delicate pomegranate flower. Thinking of something, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious.

"However, you have to tell me what you think!" I suddenly stretched out my hand to hold her face, and said seriously to her. "I admit that he is slightly more handsome than me!"

She didn't expect me to hold her face up suddenly, and let me hold her face without any precautions, like a frightened little rabbit, and asked me anxiously: "What do you want me to tell you, I am in front of him You are openly standing with you, what else do you want?"

"I don't care, anyway, you have to tell me what you think!" I kissed her forehead lightly, and said arrogantly.

She secretly glanced at the entrance of the roof with some embarrassment, as if she was very worried that the iron door on the roof would be pushed open suddenly.

I told her about Su again, and I felt that when I mentioned Su, she was looking at me with a half-smile, but she was listening quietly all the time, without asking any questions.

Later, when I talked about Su's experience in the manor and the potion she was forced to brew with the blood of demons, she opened her mouth with a sympathetic look on her face. A magic apprentice of magic herbs, she usually likes to read some books about magic herbs in the library. Last time I went to Xinliu Valley with her to find the blood of demons. After returning, she read a lot of historical documents and concluded that Jade Fire Ink is an extremely rare magic ink.

Some people say that "As long as you have Jade Fire Ink, you have the magic scroll of 'Magic Reminder'".

This is an open secret. For a long time, the blueprint of the magic scroll that can increase the power of magic skills when casting a spell is said to have been discovered in an ancient ruin by an inscriber who specializes in making advanced magic scrolls. , The blueprint of this magic scroll was later copied by him several times, and spread in every corner of the Green Continent. This magic scroll is not advanced, as long as an inscriber with a little experience can draw it independently.But the magic ink used in this magic scroll is extremely rare in the Green Continent.

The magic skill 'Magic Catalysis' is one of the few magic skills that can increase the power of casting spells, but this magic skill can only exist in the form of a magic scroll, which means that the magic scroll of 'Magic Catalysis' is very rare, and Because it is rare and highly practical, it is an expensive magic scroll.

Because of the 'Magic Power Catalysis' scroll, the blood of the devil has attracted the attention of many magic scholars. Many magicians are studying the blood of the devil, trying to find a magic material that can replace it, so as to be able to create more magic. There are many "magic catalysis" scrolls. Of course, this matter has always been an important topic of various magic societies. What followed is that magicians gradually lifted the mysterious veil of demon blood.

The medicinal properties of the devil's blood were announced in detail, including its magical hallucinatory properties, and after taking the devil's blood once or twice, it would become addictive.A magic scholar who tried medicine once wrote in his last book: taking the blood of the devil is like imprinting a brand on the soul, and eternal life will not get rid of that unforgettable torment.

Now hearing the evil magicians from the 'Black Magic Retreat' in northern Jiangsu force them to drink the potion made with the blood of the devil, Ying Li's face showed an angry expression, and he frowned tightly and said: "They How can you persecute an apprentice priest in the temple like this, I want to tell my aunt about it!"

"I don't want a lot of people to know that Su is an abandoned person because we exposed this incident, and those fanatical believers in the temple might tie her to the stake!" Li.

Ying Li said to me sadly and angrily: "Then tell me, are you going to let Anduya get away with it like this?"

"I don't believe that in other respects, this lord cardinal will also be impeccable. As long as Su's safety is not involved, I can properly provide the Magic Guild and the guards with some information about their collusion with the black It's about the Priory of Magic." I said to Yingli.

But this is just talk, I will not let Anduya go so easily, even if he wears the halo of the bishop of the temple, since he has touched my bottom line, he touched Sister Guoguo's relatives, they It belongs to the person I want to protect the most in El City. I will make a complete plan to let him taste the taste of being abandoned by God and entering hell.

I told Ying Li about these things because I didn't want to hide some things about Su, because as long as Su entered Xinliu Valley, he would inevitably meet Ying Li, so I at least wanted Ying Li to be mentally prepared.

But speaking of it, this time we brought back some 'devil's blood' from Xinliu Valley, only to find a new business opportunity, that is the expensive 'Magic Catalysis' scroll on the market, I didn't expect Xinliu Valley to have such a place A great treasure of inestimable value.The pool of devil's blood in the stone room alone can produce at least a thousand scrolls.Yerkes scholars always say that a successful inscriber is piled up with countless money, so I think that such a huge wealth may pave the way for my future inscriber.

Ying Li and I listened attentively, knowing that if we didn’t rush back at this time, we would probably continue to listen to the class standing behind the seats in the demonstration hall, so we both hurriedly Run to the iron gate on the roof.

Just when Yingli and I ran to the big iron gate of the rooftop, the iron gate of the rooftop was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people came out from inside, among them was the ice-cold Heidi magic mentor, her Her glamorous appearance has already burned below the freezing point, and I knew she was getting angry just by sneaking a glance at her. Those beautiful eyes almost condense people into ice balls when they see anyone.

She was followed by her assistant, Sophie, who gave me a wink when she saw me, and it seemed that the matter was about me... I screamed inwardly!

Beside Mr. Heidi is a group of knight masters wearing the uniform of the guard battalion punishment institute. If you want to say that these people are real knight masters, they are usually not responsible for public security or city defense trivial matters. They are a group of guards who supervise the conduct of knights. Battalion Inspector, commonly known as Retribution Knight.Behind them stood the great knight who had met several times on the manor mountain road. He was standing behind the crowd with a disheveled face, and beside him stood two fully armed knights. Standing by his side like a prisoner, it can be seen that his current situation must be very bad.Being invited over to drink tea by these commanding knights, no one will look good!
But what are they doing here, I made a circle in my head, and immediately realized that they must be looking for me.

Before these Discipline Knights could do anything to me, Teacher Heidi, whose face was almost freezing, stood at the gate of the iron gate.Her figure turned into an ice sculpture in an instant, and appeared in front of me in the next second. She stretched out a hand like lightning, grabbed the magic robe on my chest, held it tightly in her hand, and easily held me with one hand. Lifted in the air, I was tightly bound in the magic robe, and even breathing became a little difficult for a while, and my face was flushed.

Teacher Heidi raised her head and turned back to the knights coldly, "Such a third-level magic apprentice, how do you say he killed the evil mage in the manor behind the temple?"

Teacher Heidi's cold questions made me feel like a bolt from the blue. I was stunned and didn't know how to answer. I said to myself: This is troublesome. How did Teacher Heidi know that I killed that evil mage? ?When I was flustered and at a loss, I saw those Discipline Knights behind me looking at me and Teacher Heidi with embarrassing expressions.
