my age of magic

Chapter 497

The night had already fallen, and a white streak appeared on the horizon, and only a few large stars could still be seen faintly in the dark blue sky.

At dawn, I stood up from the chair stretched and opened the curtains on the attic window. This silent night was coming to an end. I put down the magic engraving pen in my hand. The Xueluo ink in the ink bottle had dried up. The 'Frost Nova' scrolls lay on the writing desk all night, and I would pack them, one by one, into their nice square boxes, and hand them to Marvin in the morning when I left for school.

Now these "Frost Nova" magic scrolls have been sold in the city of El with three magic crystals, which is already a very high price, but those noble children are still rushing to buy them, just to buy them this winter. Accumulate some merit.

There was a slight sound downstairs, it must be Nancy starting to prepare breakfast.Although her craft is somewhat simple, she can only make shortbread rolls with cheese and porridge, but the taste is really good.For this dignified, generous and very virtuous beautiful woman, it is difficult for me to have more demanding demands on her. Even though she joined our lives as a third party, it seems that she did not bring us to any troubles.

Fanny and Leonte are still very harmonious. Leonte likes to read the newspaper before meals. Fanny will keep nagging me and Tracy during breakfast. Now there are more Cindy, me and Tracy The firepower received was shared again.Fanny is encouraging Cindy recently, telling her not to be bored at home all the time, but to go out more, or at least go shopping with Tracy when she is on vacation.

Nancy shared almost all of Fanny's housework. Only after she came to our house, I found that everything in the house became orderly.

When I was chatting with Tracy, I learned from her that, according to Lyant, on that inexplicable night, Tracy just mixed some Datura flower juice into Lyant's wine, which made In a slightly drunk state, Leant rejuvenated his second spring.On the other hand, Fanny succeeded in persuading Nancy that in such troubled times, joining this warm family would at least provide some security for her future life, after all, their mother and daughter had nowhere to go.

I was curious why Fanny did this, and I asked Tracy secretly, but she just looked at me and said to me, "Why don't you ask Fanny?"

I was speechless for a while, how could I have the nerve to ask Fanny about this kind of thing!Should I just say to her, "Hey, Fanny, why would you offer to find a wife for your husband and a mother for Tracy and me?"

This is all I dare to think about. If I say this, Fanny may throw me into the snowdrift in the backyard and live with the tauren Luka for a few days.

But now it seems that the three of them, Leant, Fanny, and Nancy, have handled their relationship well, and they have a clear division of labor at home. During dinner, when everyone sits at the dining table, I can still enjoy the extremely It was a warm scene, but Cindy seemed a bit introverted, and I always felt a little guilty for the way she looked at Tracy and me.

Although Tracy has emphasized many times that those grown-up matters have nothing to do with us, Cindy still insists that in this matter, her mother's behavior makes her feel a little bit embarrassed.I think Cindy is a little too sentimental.

I turned off the kerosene lamp on the writing desk, turned around and saw a map of my fiefdom on the wall, the red lines covered the land with a stone mountain and a lake, and under the circle was written two Owned by Baron Giga, and put a seal of El City Council in my name.

This map was issued by the logistics department of El City. It was not until this scroll was issued that Fanny and Leant knew that I had been promoted to the first rank of knighthood. an easy job.

However, when Fanny saw this map, her first reaction was not that I had obtained a new title, or that I had a larger fief, but stared closely at my eyes and asked me: "Jijia Ah! You must tell us the truth! Tell me about what dangerous things you have done. Those people in the Council Hall cannot promote people to titles for no reason. Although our family is not a noble, but the titles among nobles It is clear how difficult it is to be promoted..."

Facing Fanny's worried inquiries...

I don't even remember how to appease Fanny at that time. I felt that my explanation was a little weak, but they still tried to accept the answer I gave. My credit was obtained because of those magic scrolls.

At this time, I felt the mood of Leonte and Fanny. I didn't gain more joy from my promotion, but I was worried and afraid of the danger I paid for my achievements.

Outside the city of El, thousands of barbarians from the Storm Bear tribe are besieging the city. The residents of our city will do what they can to resist those brutal barbarians.

So, no matter how late I stayed up drawing scrolls, Fanny refrained from reminding me to go to bed early.

……

Just when I was about to meditate once before dawn to restore my nearly exhausted magic power, I suddenly felt that there were fireworks outside the window in the direction of the north city wall, flickering three or two times in the distance, my heart An uneasy premonition gushed out inexplicably, and at this moment, a loud explosion between heaven and earth came over.

My face turned pale all of a sudden, just as dawn was approaching, those barbarians finally launched their first round of attack.

I am worried that the soldiers of the Knights of the Guard Battalion on the city wall are all asleep and haven't woken up yet...

As if the whole city was shaking violently, I put on my thick magic robe without hesitation, and stretched out my hand to push the attic window open. Like a civet cat, I got out of the attic window and stood on the roof tiles, Looking far away towards the north city wall.

Standing outside the house, I could already hear the shouts of killing like a sea tide. My hands and feet were a little cold at this moment. It turned out that the battle to defend the city had really begun.

All of a sudden, countless people came out of their houses and looked into the distance.

The tauren Luka excitedly carried a two-handed ax and stood in the empty field in the backyard. He pounded his fists on his chest with some excitement, raising his fighting spirit.Even the tauren Luka was disturbed by the shouts of killing in the distance, and a fire of war ignited in his heart.He raised his thick neck and asked me standing on the roof loudly: "Jijia, are we going to fight?"

"Come with me to the Academy of Magic in a while!" I thought for a while and said to the tauren Luka.

If the El City military needs magicians to help defend the city, they will definitely ask the academy directly for help. Instead of running to the north wall like headless chickens, we might as well wait for the academy to organize in an orderly manner, as auxiliary water-type magic apprentices, now What I need to do most is to maintain the most abundant mana and wait for the call of the dean.

"Hmm!" Luka's muscles kept shaking due to the excitement of his body.

Leant came out of the house wearing a suede fur coat, stood at the gate of the yard, looked to the north in silence, lowered his head silently, and gently touched the Western rapier at his waist with his hand, speechless for a long time, late The hero also has shortness of breath. Although he is in the prime of life and his physical condition has not declined in the slightest, when his hand touches the hilt of the sword, he is full of hesitation. At this moment, his heart is hesitating. Infinite fighting spirit, but the fetters behind him entangled him tightly in this warm house.

Those gentle eyes are like steel cables, imprisoning this steel-like man.

At this moment, I suddenly understood why Fanny let another woman share the man who originally belonged to her. It turns out that the warrior who can't be locked by handcuffs and anklets can lock him up firmly. It is a gentle woman. The heart is a beautiful woman in a gentle gauze that needs his strong arms to continue living.

Fanny is not such a woman, she is not gentle at all, and the most important thing is that even without Laient by her side, she can still live well, she has the ability to support herself.At this time, Fanny was standing in front of the attic window behind me, wearing a single dress, with her hands on her shoulders, and with a bitter smile, she quietly looked at Ryan at the gate of the courtyard. full of love.

The beautiful Nancy stood shivering outside the house, and she didn't know whether it was because the cold weather made her turn pale, or because the barbarians outside the city were frightened by the shouts of killing like a sea tide, but she didn't. She didn't make any sound, she stood barefoot on the snow, but she didn't feel the coldness on the ground at all, her hair was blown disheveled by the wind, covering her face and those blurred almond eyes.

It has to be said that this war was extremely cruel to Nancy. After losing her family, this woman who lived a comfortable life in the small town of Maas went through all kinds of hardships and fled to the In the city of El, I found that the hope in my heart was not so good in the face of reality. Countless refugees gathered in the city of El. In addition to the threat of hunger, there was also the cold brought by the cold wave. [-]. Freezing homeless people into ice sculptures overnight.

She suddenly discovered almost desperately that without enough gold coins, she couldn't survive in the city of El.When the only hope left in her heart was to live, she was finally taken in by Liont and Fanny because of her daughter Cindy.

In this cruel winter of 'a young girl is worth less than a bag of wheat flour', she seemed to have resigned herself to her fate, and suddenly discovered that the gentleman-like man, Leant, was another post in her life where she could stop and rest. On the one hand, she is trying to please Leant with her gentle body as much as possible. Isn't such a gentleman with traditional thinking exactly what she dreamed of when she was a girl?On the other hand, it is necessary to prevent Fanny from feeling any threat from her as much as possible. She does not have the slightest idea of ​​replacing Fanny as the hostess. She just wants to find a harbor where she can stop in her life.

So Fanny's consolation that day was undoubtedly like a drop of honey encountered by a traveler in the desert to Nancy. Xi said that she could not refuse Fanny's proposal.

Just when Nancy felt that she was about to be frozen by the cold wind, a thick and powerful arm hugged her fiercely. She raised her head in panic, and suddenly found Leant looking down at him with a gentle smile. Looking at her, he said to her: "It's so cold, why come out and run around with so little clothes on!"

"..." Nan Xi suddenly thought that there was nothing in her thin pajamas, her face was like a cooked prawn, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry!"

"There's nothing to apologize for, let's go, let's go back!" Leant walked back into the house with Nancy in his arms.

"But, over there...is it really okay?" Nan Xi looked at the north city wall where the shouts of killing came, and said worriedly to Lyont.

"Haha, if the knights of the Guard Battalion Knights were defeated by those barbarian warriors in the first morning, then we might as well take the airship to Sloit City as soon as possible! Don't worry, El City The true background is far more powerful than it appears!" After all, Leonte is a well-known swordsmanship instructor at Steins Academy, and his understanding of El City is deeper than ordinary people.

My confidence in El City only comes from the large magic bed crossbow hidden in the arrow tower and the magic deterrent of Master Godfrey. I don't believe that the great witches in the barbarian tribe dare to show up on the battlefield.

That's right, without the help of the great witches, how could these barbarians break through the defenses of El City?

I wanted to look back at Fanny in the attic window, what kind of expression she had at the moment, but unfortunately she was no longer there, only Tracy squinted her eyes, hiding behind the curtains, with her messy hair sticking out her head to look Looking at the scene outside, behind her, Cindy was wearing a thin pajamas and holding a thick coat, and ran over to put it on Tracy, but she herself was so cold that she sneezed...

"Jia, what happened?" Tracy asked me curiously.

"There is a fight in the direction of the north city, and there is a lot of movement. I am afraid that the barbarians outside the city are going to make some real moves this time!" He slipped in, and said to Tracy: "Skipping breakfast, I'll go to the academy to have a look, maybe at this time there is the most need for water magicians!"

"Tch, what kind of water magician are you! In our city of El, there is only one water magician, and that is Lord Heidi!" Tracy said with a snort and disdain.

Cindy stood in the back, watching me and Tracy bicker enviously.

But I didn't care what Tracy said, and quickly sorted out the magic scrolls on the desk, put the things I used into the magic pocket, and rushed out of the house.

Suddenly, he rushed back like a whirlwind, and when Tracy was in a daze, he hugged her fiercely, and when Tracy wanted to hit me, he hurriedly pushed her away, and then gave the unknown At a loss, Cindy gave them a big hug, raised her fist towards them, and said confidently: "Wait for the good news of my victory!"

"Tch, it sounds like a magic apprentice like you is going to go to the battlefield!" Tracy's mocking words lingered in my ears, and I had already rushed down to the wooden attic.
