my age of magic

Chapter 464 261. Summer in El City
In a blink of an eye, this sunny summer passed unknowingly.

After school starts, 16-year-old Tracy is about to usher in her bar mitzvah.

Recently, Fanny is preparing a dress for Tracy's misunderstanding after the coming-of-age ceremony. Fanny thinks that Tracy's waist is not slender enough, and it is not soft enough. The delicious food kept sighing. For those evening dresses, Tracy prefers exquisitely crafted leather armor, which looks quite heroic. In recent years, many girls will choose to wear leather armor, short skirts, Long leather boots, showing off your round and straight long legs, and you don't have to worry about your waist not being slender enough. This kind of attire is far more popular with girls than traditional dresses.

In fact, Tracy still really wants an exquisite leather armor, and probably only I can understand her little thoughts.

I took the high-grade leather with scales of the double-headed snake lizard to the leather shop, and I wanted to ask the leather maker to cut out a set of exquisite women's leather armor according to Tracy's figure, as a gift for Tracy. gift for her.

Faced with this extremely rare double-headed flaming snake skin, no leather craftsman can resist the temptation of that high-grade leather. He has been trying to convince me that such a good piece of leather should not ask an inscriber to make magic patterns The build is such a pity.If I have no intention of drawing inscriptions on the leather, he would like to leave a space for engraved inscriptions on the leather armor when making leather armor.

If I am willing to sell this leather, he is willing to exchange this leather with me for an exquisite salamander or manticore leather armor, and he can give me some magic crystals for the remaining price difference, but I politely decline him.

In the city of El, there are no more than three inscribers who can draw magic patterns on leather armor.It is said that the production of each magic pattern structure is extremely complicated. It takes at least a week or two to make a magic pattern structure, and the production cost is definitely not affordable by ordinary wealthy families. It will take several years for an ordinary noble family. The savings can make a magic pattern structure.

For an ordinary aristocratic family, there are several aspects of property calculation: real estate, land, gold coins and magic pattern construction, which shows the value of a magic pattern construction.

The reason why I made a whole set of Flame Snake Lizard Leather Armor without engraving magic patterns is not only because it is too expensive to ask an inscriber to engrave the magic pattern circle, but also because I hope that one day in the future, I can also draw a signed magic pattern on it. The tattoo array is here.In addition, the production cycle is not in time, I want to give the leather armor to Tracy before the coming-of-age ceremony.However, inscriptions must be engraved on leather armor in the future. If such precious leather is not made into a magic pattern structure, it is absolutely wasteful.

It's just that Tracy was kept in the dark about all of this.

Tracy has become very free recently. There are only empty spaces left in the class schedule of Staines School. Many students are participating in field training activities. They all write letters to Tracy. Sometimes she sits in the attic On the roof of the house, she will watch the interesting stories that happened in the jungle with me, but she is not willing to share with me the love letters sent back by Ellent. Girls always want to have a little private space of their own.

Now that she is a ninth-level warrior apprentice, she can vaguely feel the existence of "Qi" in her body. Leant said that Tracy just lacks a little bit of luck, and she needs to lift the veil in front of her with her own hands. Entering the field of real swordsmen, she is about to graduate, but she is also hovering outside the gate of real swordsmen, only to take the last step into the gate.

Tracy took a job in a jeweler's on Center Street in the city, and she began to plan her dowry.

I suddenly had a feeling that Tracy, the somewhat willful and paranoid girl, suddenly grew up overnight, and she seemed to understand a lot of truths.

From the initial animosity, probably because she thought I shared Fanny's and Lyont's affection for her.Later, it turned into indifference and alienation. She knew that I was destined to marry her when I grew up. Her inability to change and embarrassment kept her alienated from me when she was a girl, and she was even unwilling to introduce my existence to her friends.

Later, she gradually got used to and accepted it. At that time, she probably always thought that I would need to join the army after the coming-of-age ceremony, and if I could come back alive, I would marry her. She was also full of sympathy for my fate.

It wasn't until early spring that I became a magic apprentice. Tracy thought that I didn't need to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. The invisible pressure disappeared all of a sudden, so the old grievances between us were resolved. After a period of confusion, we are now in a relationship Having found her own place in life, purely the relationship between sister and brother, now Tracy prefers to share with me those secrets in her heart.

She likes to lazily lie on my bed and read a book when I draw magic scrolls. Her room has only one window. In such a hot summer, it is not as cool as mine.Occasionally, she would help me wash my socks, only then I felt like she was my sister.

Tracy likes to pull the tauren Luka to fight in the yard when he is bored. The western rapier beats Luka's big mallet in terms of skill control, but Luka needs to be careful. His strength has been on the rise recently. Growth, sometimes the power is not well controlled, and if you are not careful, Tracy will be knocked to the ground.

……

Squatting in the yard to mow the lawn, I really want to replace the scissors in my hand with Tracy's rapier, because the work efficiency will be greatly improved that way.Every time I swing the scissors, the air will be filled with the fragrance of green grass. I find that I really like working under such a scorching sun. The feeling of sweating like rain is really long gone.

Seeing Anne walking from the street from a distance, her long red hair fluttering with the wind, like a burning flame when blown by the wind, a pair of extremely gentle red eyes always appeared in my mind The beautiful face of a girl - Katerina.There has been no response to the letter to Qige, and it is not known how they are doing in the imperial capital.

It turned out that before school started, Annie hurried back from the mountain city. Her salamander leather armor was covered with scars. Maybe it should be taken to a leather shop to repair it. She was carrying a very large backpack. , it seems that she has gained a lot during this period of time in Shancheng.And her aura has changed, I can clearly feel the strong fire element around her body.

Annie's plump figure is extremely hot. When she walked towards me, her whole body was covered with a layer of dancing flames. Unlike her charming body, there was a kind of cold flame hidden in her eyes. There is a strong sense of oppression in her eyes, and I always feel that she can see into my heart at a glance.

Regarding my leaving without saying goodbye in the mountain city, Annie didn't complain any more when she came back. Instead, she asked me to sit under the lemon tree in the yard of her house for a while, and took out the letter Su sent back from the imperial capital, and joined me Share this faint joy.

Some words came to my lips, but I couldn’t find a way to say them. Looking at the water element spirit of Sister Guoguo who was standing in the yard and curiously looking at the small light blue flowers in the flower pond, I didn’t know how to say it to Annie. .

"My teacher sent me a letter asking me to go to Strange Rock City to help her!" Annie said after a long silence. She raised her eyes to look at me, and my frail figure was reflected in her clear eyes.

"This is a good thing, maybe when we meet again, I will call you Officer Anne, maybe it will be Your Excellency the General!" I put the tea cup in my hand into the tea tray and said with a faint smile.

I thought: Annie is going to Qiyan City, Su follows Yingli to the imperial capital, and Guoguo sister's yard may be completely idle. For Annie, this place may no longer feel like home.

Her mentor is Nancy, a very famous swordsman in El City. At the beginning of the year, she was appointed by the Green Empire military as the general of the garrison of Qiyan City. I remember that the Battle Spirit team went to the south to help Nancy complete some tasks as a close friend. Secret mission, unexpectedly, Anne only returned to El City less than three months, and the invitation letter from Qiyan City was sent.

Annie avoided my gaze bitterly, sighed and said, "That's fine!"

Standing up from the chair, Annie leaned on the wooden fence with both hands, her eyes became as bright as night stars, and her tone became firm all of a sudden, she said: "Finally, I can realize my dream. I think the uniform in the barracks looks good, um, maybe that's why I agreed to my instructor."

Her words seemed to be speaking to me, but also seemed to be speaking to herself.

"Annie, have you advanced to become a magic swordsman?" I asked her feelingly.

Annie is well-known among the graduates of this year's Warrior Academy. Her body contains fire magic elements, and she can use special spell formulas to make her sword moves have strong magic damage. After becoming a warrior, her body has no In the case of the magic pool, some magic talents have been awakened. Such fighters may become magic swordsmen, but it is not absolute.

"Well, I'm going to the Warriors Guild tomorrow to go through routine procedures." Annie replied very flatly, she looked at her right arm intently, a hot fire element suddenly gushed out of her body, and the entire arm They are all wrapped in a flame, and she has finally realized her own 'Qi' in the meridians in her body, and it seems that she now knows how to use this kind of Qi to drive the fire element to follow a certain magic pattern in her body A burst of operation, and then form a hot flame.

Annie really did it, so she has successfully advanced at this moment.

……

Recently, the business of the magic grocery store has been booming, and the demand for magic parchment has gradually increased. Marvin has probably visited all the paper workshops around El City, and no paper workshop is willing to sell the leftovers of my magic parchment. Well, the quality of the magic parchment made in the local paper workshop is still much better than the magic parchment trafficked by the merchants from the Pai Plateau, but the price is also more expensive, so Marvin began to gradually get in touch with those from the orcs. Merchants returning from the tribe will always have bundles of magic parchment on their thunder rhinoceros, and the price is [-]% lower than the parchment in the El City market.

I had to buy the blank magic paper on which the normal scrolls were drawn, which made the 'Scrolls of Focus' and 'Scrolls of Frost' cost a little more.

Marvin is a budget-conscious person. He soaked the purchased magic parchment in white ring vine juice for a day and a night to repair the quality problems of the parchment. Then he asked young craftsmen to cut the magic parchment into The size is suitable for drawing ordinary magic scrolls. This job does not require too strict skills, and young leather craftsmen are sufficient for this job.

Marvin used the blank magic paper that had been cut to draw ordinary scrolls, and sold it at the cost price of the magic parchment. Such a cheap price drove the paper merchants in El City crazy. After a long time of negotiation , and later adjusted the price increase, and promised that the grocery store would accept the orders of the paper merchants, and only then did the anger of the paper merchants surrounding the city hall be calmed down.

But after this incident, it seemed that the blank magic paper in the magic grocery store became popular overnight. Later, Marvin told me excitedly that he bought rough magic parchment, refined it into blank scroll magic paper, and sold it. After leaving, there is still a meager profit surplus.

In fact, the reason why Marvin spends so much time in the magic scroll blank paper business is that his original purpose is very simple. He just wanted to provide me with some scraps of magic parchment for free. After producing those blank magic papers, there will be a lot of magic paper left over. Leftovers, using these leftovers to make palm-sized fire-focus magic scrolls is much easier than buying leftovers from various paper workshops.

In this way, Marvin and I have inadvertently gained another profitable business, and at the same time, I have a free and stable supply of the Focusing Fire Scroll, and the quality of the required magic parchment has also become very stable.

Every day I need to keep drawing those 'scrolls of gathering fire' until the mana is exhausted, and then meditate quickly, and then draw the magic scrolls non-stop. Now I am even proficient enough to chat with Tracy while drawing the magic scrolls successfully drawn.Doing the same thing repeatedly all day, life is sometimes boring, unknowingly this month, as a fifth-level magic apprentice, the capacity of the magic pool in my body has reached a bottleneck state again, I have already unknowingly He has reached the peak state of a fifth-level magic apprentice.It is possible to be promoted to a sixth-level magic apprentice at any time.

Originally thought that after the summer vacation, the demand for 'Fire Scrolls' would decrease, but in fact there was an increasing trend.

In the first two months, I only needed to draw fifty 'Fire Scrolls' to meet the needs of the magic grocery store, but during the summer vacation, I had to draw at least fifty scrolls almost every night. It's nothing more than two words 'Winter Chu'.

After the start of the school year, finishing the coming-of-age ceremony of the graduates in the college means that autumn is here, and winter is not far away. The barbarians hiding on the ice and snow tundra north of the Benma River will take advantage of the long winter , to carry out slave hunting operations.

People in El City have to prepare enough food and heating fuel before winter comes, so that they can survive a long winter safely.
