my age of magic

Chapter 523 21. Goodbye. My Rose
When our airship approached the airport, it was already a week later at night, the scorching sun fell into the deep stream behind the gray mountains, the stars had not yet risen in the night, the silver hooks in the sky were hung on the branches of the trees, and the airship shuttled among the clouds , as if you can touch the hooked silver moon in the sky by raising your hand.

The people standing on the airship looked at only a little spark on the vast land, and the sense of oppression caused by the proximity of the imperial capital was not so strong.

"The airship first arrives at the airport outside the imperial capital, which is still 45 kilometers away from the imperial capital. The city walls built around the imperial capital are restricted to the sky. It is impossible for any flying tool to pass through there, so the airship will arrive at the imperial capital in advance. This should be regarded as the most prosperous airport in the Grimm Empire, and the only airport that can rival it is probably Haiyinsi." Mrs. Alia, dressed in a neat and luxurious court evening dress, stood beside me and looked at me with a pleasant face. explained.

And the girls beside me, with all sorts of thoughts in mind, are staring at the airport where airships are constantly flying in and out, in a daze.

Moraya has already made a decision. She will say goodbye to me after arriving in the imperial capital. She will transfer to the airship flying to Qiyan City, go to the southernmost tip of the Green Empire, and then pass through the southernmost gate of miracles to go to the tropical island she has longed for. Take a look in the rainforest. I heard that every wood magician needs to go there to understand nature. Maybe the strong wood element atmosphere there will allow Moraya to break through the tenth level smoothly and become a first-rank magician. An intermediate wood magician.

At the time of parting, all kinds of unspeakable feelings surged up, and the bits and pieces in El City turned into reluctant nostalgia. In the past few days, she has been reducing the number of times she talks to me. According to her explanation: probably It's because I'm afraid that my heart is not strong enough, and I won't have the courage to leave the imperial capital at the last moment. She doesn't want to stay by my side like a shadow all the time. Although we are lovers, she needs to have her own space and freedom. have their own independent life.

I am very touched by this, I think I am like a cage that imprisoned the wildness in Moraya's heart, now, when her magic cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level, she needs to leave this In the place of shackles, to find her own epiphany of nature, simply put, is "potential", without "potential", she will never be able to become a tenth-level magician.

I took out two scrolls of 'Magic Catalysis' and fifteen scrolls of 'Frost Nova' from my magic pocket, and handed them to Moraya, telling her to be careful in everything. I heard that the swamp clan in the southern desert After the lizardmen seized this boundless rainforest from the white elves, after hundreds of years of hard work, they seem to have become the real masters of this rainforest. I also heard that the lizardmen like to eat people's hearts.

In the last day, Moraya has already refused to say anything to me. She is worried that even if I say a word of concern, she will never have the courage to leave the imperial capital.

On the other hand, Sophie was in a state of confusion. The closer she got to the territory of the imperial capital, the more homesick she became. She spent the whole afternoon with her hands on the edge of the ship's side, telling her friend Sally about the scenery of her hometown. According to her Said: Her home is in the small town of Luoshui on the edge of the imperial capital. Her father is a magistrate, but it is said that he retired last year.

Sara always seemed to have something to say to me, but because her good friend Moraya was always by my side, she couldn't have the opportunity to say it until now. At the last moment, she has completely ignored me, because Her good friend Sophie seemed to be caught in a kind of anxious mood near her hometown. She tried to enlighten this friend, but unfortunately it didn't work. Saeli was worried that something would happen to Sophie always standing on the side of the boat, so she stayed with Sophie all the time. side.

Putting aside the mysterious veil of the princess, Sally is a girl who is very suitable to be a best friend. She treats every friend with her sincerity. Although she is sometimes silly and naive, she is kind-hearted and delicate. There is always a slight smile in her clear lake-like eyes. The world in her eyes is very beautiful, and she is very eager to experience the life of ordinary people.

I don't understand. According to what Ying Li said, the princes or princesses of the royal family would be sent to some remote cities or border towns to live alone for two years when they were teenagers, to experience the hardships of civilian life, and then It can make princes and princesses more self-reliant, but this Princess Sha doesn't seem to have experienced this.Doesn't this duke's daughter need to go through the experience of a princess in the royal family?

It is inconvenient for me to ask Sally, so I have to bury the question in my heart and leave it to Ying Li to help me answer it. I don't know how Ying Li is doing at the Junior Royal Academy of Magic, whether it is as calm and peaceful as her letter said. good.

The closer I get to the imperial capital, the more my mind is full of thoughts and it is difficult to calm down.

The shadows of some people keep appearing in my mind, those charming eyes full of charm, red like crystal clear rubies, I can't seem to remember her peerless appearance, but in my eyes Those are not very important, the important thing is that her eyes are deeply imprinted in my spiritual sea, hiding behind that layer of thundercloud, the closer I get to the imperial capital, the more I can't calm my heart.

And at this moment, in the sea of ​​my mind, Ying Li, who is as pretty as the girl next door, with sweet dimples in her smile, appeared on the sea surface. Her sweet smile blended into the rippling golden sea water, which made me My heart became calm.

It's like the gentle sea water on one side and the scorching flames on the other. Standing on the deck, the closer I get to the imperial capital, the more I feel the torment.

Mrs. Aliya stood aside and introduced me to the largest airport in the Green Empire. I couldn’t remember what the airport she just said was like. I only knew that her words were gentle and there was a slight smile on her face. That kind of mature and beautiful style caused the passengers around to turn their heads to peep frequently, but Mrs. Alia stood beside me gracefully.

Slowly, he introduced me to the most famous holy place in Green Capital.

……

It is said that the outermost city wall of the imperial capital is set up with a large-scale curse-level air-forbidden magic circle, so the airport is actually built on the only road leading to the imperial capital outside the city, and the roads here extend in all directions.

When the airship approached the airport, the dancing flames on those empty towers showed us the direction we were going, and I realized that I had arrived at the imperial capital.

Although the airship is driving in the dark, there is no shadow of the imperial capital in sight, only a huge group of empty towers stands at the foot of the mountains, and each hundred-foot-high empty tower is built with four-sided transparent towers on the top. A huge oil lamp is placed, and at night, a raging fire burns violently in the tower, and the beating flames in the airport lighthouse can be seen tens of kilometers away.

After passing through the thick clouds, the field of vision in front of me suddenly became wider, and I saw the mountains on the vast land connected into a black piece.Many airships kept rushing down from the clouds. In the night sky, countless lights were lit on the sides of each airship, flickering in the dark night, looking like fireflies flying in the night sky from a distance.

Only when you get close can you see how spectacular those giant airships are more than [-] meters long.

The four sides of each empty tower are long docks protruding from the center of the tower. I just looked up and judged that there are more than 80 empty towers in the entire airport. From a distance, those tall The empty towers standing in the airport are chaotic. In fact, almost every airship will follow the same route and head towards the airport.

In the end, when the airships were about to enter the airport, they lined up neatly in a row, entering from the easternmost end of the airport. As soon as our airship entered the airport, there was a dull sound on the hull. I didn’t know the sound. It came from somewhere, as if someone was speaking above the head, and there was an irresistible majesty in the voice, which guided the captain step by step to park the airship beside an empty tower to the south.

At this moment, an airship coming out of the empty tower passed us by. The excited passengers on the deck of the opposite airship squeezed on the side of the ship and waved to us excitedly. They should be a group of passengers who are about to travel, or The trip was full of freshness, and those passengers who looked a little tired on our side seemed to realize that they had arrived in the imperial capital, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

The airship can be at least 300 meters long, and it looks like a giant ship with a five-story building on the deck. I counted that there are 28 large floating magic circles on one side of the ship's side. There is also a neat row of wind-type magic boosting devices. From the appearance, the airship opposite is at least three times the size of the airship I am riding on.

When that colossal monster passed me by, the shock it brought to me was very intense, and the powerful coercion made me a little breathless.

Finally, after 1 minute, it completely disappeared in front of me, and the coercion that made me unable to breathe faded away. At this moment, our airship has slowly floated to the edge of the airport pier, and the crew on the deck stood At the bow, a huge fishing gun is at the helm, firing a heavy anchor onto the pier.

The crew on the pier quickly connected the anchor to the magic hoist, and the hoist slowly rolled up the anchor and the thigh-thick rope, pulling the airship floating in the air to the edge of the pier little by little, and the crew on board threw countless A thick rope firmly fixes the airship to the airport pier.

Afterwards, there was a sound of "ding ding ding" on the huge airship. Amidst the joyful yelling of the crew, they skillfully opened the hatch in the belly of the ship, and then laid the long plank into a smooth There are guardrails made of ropes on both sides of the road, and the crew at the door stood up one after another, shouting loudly: "The airship coming to San Carlos City is docking, the airship coming to San Carlos City is docking ..."

At this time, people on the deck took their salutes and walked in through the hatch on the first floor. They lined up in a long line, waiting to get off the airship through the hatch in the belly of the ship.

As for the nobles on the airship, we were told by the crew: we can disembark through the special passage on the ship.

At this time, I couldn't help but sigh: the privileges of the nobles of the Green Empire seem to be everywhere. In El City, I haven't had such a strong personal experience. I always feel that the nobles and the commoners are two opposing classes. There is nothing special about commoners being richer, but from the city of San Carlos all the way to the imperial capital, the nobles can enjoy more and more benefits, which makes me feel a lot of superiority out of thin air.

Wearing a dark purple magic robe, Moraya walked in front without saying a word.

Sophie seemed a little excited, but she kept trying to restrain her emotions, and Saeli walked side by side with Sophie.The two were whispering non-stop. Along the way, the two seemed to have endless words to say.

Mrs. Alia and I walked behind, and the maid behind her carried a box of luggage, and it was very difficult to follow behind. The crew should be responsible for sending the remaining large boxes of luggage to the airport, but now they are resisting. On Luka the tauren, this silly bull doesn't seem to mind doing a little physical work while getting off the boat.

……

Accompanying Moraya to go through the transfer procedures, I can probably see the loneliness in her eyes. She seems to be in a bad mood. In the dark, there is no trace of a smile on her white face, frowning, reason and emotion It seems that Ya is still fighting in the depths of her heart.

When we walked down from the airport and came to the ground, Ya released her huge poisonous flower vine, which had grown to be more than seven meters long and plunged into the mud, frightened and followed us The faces of the noble men and women behind us were pale. They stopped, not daring to follow anyone behind us.The flower vine was also restlessly swimming in the soil, revealing its green body from time to time.

The airport staff who handled the transfer procedures handled the elegant transfer procedures with the most concise words and the fastest movements. No one would take the initiative to provoke a magician who was in a bad mood, especially if he was accompanied by an unknown magician. The magician of the familiar.

"Or don't leave, just stay in the imperial capital and feel the 'potential'. In fact, it's the same everywhere. There are many mid-level magicians who have successfully changed jobs in the imperial capital. We can visit them and hear some transfers from them. With professional experience, I have a way to knock on the door of their house!" I followed behind Ya, and said to her solemnly.

Hearing what I said, Ya stopped suddenly. The empty tower not far away was the airship leading to Qiyan City on it. We stood facing each other under the empty tower.

When she turned around, I realized that there were two lines of clear tears on her face, no wonder she kept her head hidden in the cone hat.

Behind me were Sally, Sophie, and Mrs. Alia who stayed behind to see us off. They stopped ten meters away from us, as if they wanted to leave us a little private space.

Ya suddenly threw herself into my arms, she put her sharp chin on my shoulder, hugged me tightly with her hands, smelled my scent deeply on my neck, her cold lips trembled printed on my lips.

"Don't say any more, even if it's just a word, you know I can't resist you, let me see the outside world, don't keep me!"

Ya's voice was a little hoarse, I'm not sure if she cried last night.

"..."

Just as I was about to speak, her lips were on mine again, she was almost predatory, her hug seemed to want our bodies to have no gap, she put her head next to my ear, and gently kissed me Say: "I'm sorry I can't attend your coming-of-age ceremony, I will send you a gift, goodbye, my Jijia!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she let me go, and lightly tapped the poisonous flower vine hovering on the ground with the staff in her hand. The huge poisonous flower vine suddenly plunged into the soil, and then came out from under Ya's feet. With Ya's body rushing into the stairs of the empty tower, she suddenly disappeared under the dim light...
