my age of magic

Chapter 597 96. Meeting Sean Again
Standing on the outer corridor on the fourth floor of the Tower of Pride, you can have a panoramic view of the Fifth District.

The buildings of different styles built along the street include the architectural styles of the entire Grimm Empire's north, south, east, west, and provinces. Some buildings have metal cast statues on their spiers, and some buildings have family flags flying on their domes. The flat roof is covered with various green plants and a lawn as thick as a blanket. There are white tables and chairs with simple lines on the lawn. If you are lucky, you can see a beautiful girl lying on the bench and basking in the sun. .

Looking at the streets in District [-], which are divided by criss-crossing stone roads, the houses are lined up row by row. On the left and right sides of the most prosperous Yulin Street, every inch of land is crowded with shops of various styles. There are many pedestrians on the street.

The Jingtao flowers on both sides have withered, and the pink petals falling on the ground seem to have disappeared overnight. Only some traces of petals remain in the soil under the low wall of some shrubs.

The southeast trade wind blowing from the endless sea every spring will last until early summer.The field of view here is wide, so the wind is very strong, I hold a piece of parchment tightly in my hand, the soft parchment is beaten by the wind, and the silk magic robe on my body is tightly attached to my body. Breathing the thoughtful air here, my drowsy head finally became refreshed.

The magic pattern on that piece of parchment with 'flexible thoughts' is completely beyond the knowledge I have learned now. Seeing so many high-level magic runes combined together, the pattern on that parchment paper is very important to me. It is like a bible.

The fourth piece of magic pattern construction is a leather helmet like the cone hat worn by elf archers. Many fashionable clothes popular among the upper nobles of the Grimm Empire come from Buenos, the art capital of the elves. , so some magicweave equipment specially used by nobles not only need good attributes, but also need exquisite appearance and exquisite craftsmanship.

According to Yerkes' idea, this set of magic-weave-constructed hats is most suitable for sewing with kobold leather. This kind of hat made of leather made by demihumans with rudimentary intelligence will add a little intelligence attribute after successful production .Helplessly, the mysterious benefactor thought that wearing a kobold fur hat on his head was not in line with his noble status, and insisted on refusing to accept this kind of 'despicable and dirty cave miner' fur hat.

Finally, after a lot of fighting and agreement by Yerkes, the mysterious benefactor finally compromised and agreed to use murloc leather to make this hat that needs to add some intelligence attributes.

The reason of the patron is very strange. The patron thinks that the murloc is a fish, while the kobold is a human being. With a dog-man hat on his head, he will definitely be despised by his friends. Having said that, his point of view, I am I agree, if it were me, I would definitely not want a dog-headed human-skin hat.

It’s just that changing the leather temporarily is not a happy thing for me. Not only the previous design of Yerkes needs to be completely overthrown, but also the most troublesome thing is that there is a layer of thin scales on the outside of the murloc skin , if this layer of fine scales cannot be handled properly, there is no way to make the magic pattern structure. When I think of the countless diamond-shaped squares formed by the fish scales on the murloc leather, my head will turn big three times.

Strictly speaking, the demi-human races such as jackals, kobolds, and murlocs can be regarded as a branch of the orc race. They have not established their own civilization and belong to low-level intelligent creatures. Their physical characteristics and living habits still retain a lot. The murlocs are so beastly that they dare not even use fire.The orcs of the tribe don't think these demihumans are their own kind, and the shamans of the orc tribe hate these low-intelligence creatures more than anyone else, because there are always foreigners who confuse them.

Kobolds are the most powerful lineage of these subhuman races, which has a lot to do with their living environment. They like to live in dark and cool caves and tunnels. In the underground tunnels extending in all directions, there are kobolds everywhere. Traces, their brain development level is much higher than that of bloodthirsty greedy gnolls and murlocs who are greedy for life and fear of death and always like to stay in the water.

Since these subhuman races are low-level intelligent creatures, in the long evolutionary process, from a certain survival point of view, in order to be able to defeat the more powerful natural enemies in nature, these races were limited by the brain during the evolution process, and their Certain natural textures appear on the skin.

After the research of countless magic scholars and ancestors, people gradually discovered that the armor made of subhuman biological leather actually has a weak intelligence attribute. Wearing a hat made of this leather can make thinking more flexible.

At this time, the magic scholars of the human race discovered silently that the shamans of the orc tribe had already mastered this secret.

Uncovered why the elder orc shaman always wears a kobold skull imprint on his belt or a whole kobold skin on his back in battle.

Those strong orc shaman elders can carry huge totem pillars on their shoulders, leading the fearless orc warriors to be invincible on the battlefield.

This 'Murloc Hood' is currently being produced in the largest leather shop in the imperial capital, and it will be delivered to us no later than tomorrow afternoon. At this time, the Yerkes scholar is thinking hard about this fish skin hat in the laboratory. The design plan of the magic pattern structure, on the contrary, I looked at him for a while, and I felt dizzy. The theory of those magic patterns has completely exceeded my cognition.

Suddenly, I felt that I had nothing to do, wandering casually on the fourth floor of the Tower of Pride, and actually walked into the outer corridor.

If not, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to appreciate the street scene of the Fifth District of the Imperial Capital from this bird's-eye view. Looking at the pedestrians as big as ants in the distance, I am filled with emotion.

It's a good idea to spend an afternoon in the library.

……

Royal Academy of Magic
In the library in the afternoon, the number of students gradually began to increase. They silently walked to the magic area, picked out the magic books they wanted, sat on the sofa in the reading room, and read quietly for an afternoon.Most of the newly enrolled magicians will look for some books about magic skills and experience. Right now is the stage of learning new magic, and these kinds of books are the most helpful for new magicians.

I exchanged ten points for a copy of "Detailed Explanation of Advanced Magic Runes", and I couldn't help but frown as soon as I turned the first page. I was fully prepared and knew that this was a book of advanced magic Rune books, so I will choose the one with detailed explanation.

I think that through the detailed explanation in the book, it shouldn't be too difficult to learn those advanced runes by yourself.

It's a pity that in fact, I was wrong. When I read this book, I felt like I was reading a book from heaven. Those complicated lines made my eyes dizzy.I know that this is an adverse reaction brought about by surpassing the level category and learning advanced magic patterns by leapfrogging.

Noah was wearing an elegant aristocratic tuxedo. His straight trousers and long riding boots made him look handsome. He was a young man with aristocratic temperament. Magic book,

With a puzzled look on his face, he rolled his eyes at me: "Jijia, that's a course that we only have to study in the second year of our college. What are you doing studying it now? Do you think the current course is not enough?"

I turned my head and glanced at the "Ingenious Use of Combination Magic" in his hand, and asked him: "Then what is this book in your hand? In the final exam, did you say that you will take the combination magic?"

From time to time, Noah glanced at the door of the reading room, where a beautiful girl with a focused expression was sitting in the sofa booth.

I saw that she looked familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, I suddenly remembered that her name was Shirley Newman. I had met her once at the opening ceremony, and later made a call at the registration office of the Sword and Rose Club Martial Arts Hall. Hello, she is a student of the first class of the fire department, but... I seem to have seen her in the club martial arts gym recently.

She should also be a new member of the Sword and Magic Society. Seeing Noah dressed neatly and dressing herself so coquettishly, I suddenly felt a sigh in my heart: spring is here.

……

At noon, Uncle Chokak sent someone to bring a message that the golden cider in the tavern was very popular. He wanted to order another barrel of golden cider. It seemed that he had other things, but he just vaguely wrote in the letter Said that he wanted to have an interview, and hoped that I could sit in the tavern when I had time.

Now the name of the tavern owned by Uncle Zhuokek is becoming more and more famous. Many drinkers around the Tower of Pride know that the tavern not only has barley wine with a strong wheat flavor, but also a cup of two silver coins. High-grade golden cider, golden cider of this quality, is absolutely unique among the many taverns in the imperial capital, which directly leads to almost no empty seats in the tavern every night, and many new faces will come to drink it because of the unique wine. a cup.

The vast majority of wine merchants believe that in the civilian-style taverns in the imperial capital, it is difficult to sell high-end wines like golden cider that cost more than [-] silver a bottle, because the monthly salary of those poor working-class people is probably not enough to buy them. Pick up two bottles of this high-end wine.

Therefore, a large part of the golden cider only appeared at the receptions of the upper class nobles, some of the wine would be exported to the dwarven kingdom in exchange for a large number of refined metal ingots, and some would be shipped to the elf kingdom in exchange for exquisite works of art, and some rare magic equipment.

Sometimes, I feel that the relationship between elves and humans is like the relationship between humans and orc tribes.

The orcs transported a large amount of low-level magic herbs, monster leather, magic ore, and some local products to the human world, just to exchange some luxury accessories and magic tools from the nobles of the Green Empire.Now the orc tribe began to dump meat floss bricks, canned unicorn beef products, vermicelli and fire oil to the human world. These things are gradually occupying the food and fuel market of the Green Empire, which greatly alleviated the plight of the orc tribe's lack of resources.

The imperial people transported a large amount of food, fresh fish, fruit, fine wine, blank rune metal plates, magicweave cloth, various magic inks, and magic scrolls to the elf world, just to exchange some Artwork and antiques under certain relics.Every year, human society consumes a large amount of resources on these flashy things, and the resources consumed are far greater than the supply of the orc tribes to the empire.

In fact, after so many years of peaceful development, the living standards of the people in the imperial capital have been significantly improved. The vast majority of civilians will never use gold coins to buy those expensive commodities, but they are very keen on trying some new things.

For example, some civilians imitated the nobles and held civilian-style balls, tried to use their savings to buy some cheap magic goods, saved money to go to the opera house to listen to operas, and also went to high-end restaurants to eat big meals.

After careful calculation, spending two silver coins to taste the 'wine that nobles and elves usually drink', this gimmick has attracted many young civilians - of course most of them are alcoholics.

Under such circumstances, Uncle Zhuoka's tavern ushered in a booming business.

Yerkes told me the day before yesterday that Uncle Zhuokek is ready to marry another concubine, but the bride is not Mrs. Eve who stands in front of the bar and always likes to chat with the drinkers. Mrs. Eve can only be regarded as a tavern The waitress here is Uncle Zhuokek's woman, a woman who depends on the tavern to survive, and a woman whose age has begun to fade away, but still has a charm.

I think it's not Uncle Zhuoka Ke who raised Eve, but those drinkers who usually only talk dirty.

When Uncle Zhuokek was in a good mood, he would climb into Eve's bed and sleep with this woman half-forced with alcohol, but he would never give her money.Uncle Zhuokak thinks that women who sleep with men and charge money are lowly street girls.

When I heard about these bad things yesterday, I even impulsively questioned the Yerkes scholar: Since you have some affection for Eve, even a little, why don't you give her some money and let her live what she wants? want life?With your current financial resources, even if you sell a manor, raising a noble lady is easy!

But a sentence from the Yerkes scholar made me shut up immediately: How do you know that the life she is living now is not the life she wants?

……

There are of course no answers to these questions in the grimoires.

According to the pictures and texts in the magic book, I gathered the magic power of the water element at a point on the tip of my finger, and then carefully manipulated the magic power of the water element, like pulling out the silk from a small cocoon. Under the guidance of my fingers, the thread formed by the condensed magic power of the water element turned into a very fine rune the size of a palm.

It's a pity that no matter how carefully I draw, those runes drawn from my fingertips have no magical response at all.

"You draw in a disorganized manner. You can't understand the true meaning of these magic runes..." An old voice suddenly sounded from beside me. His voice was thick and hoarse, which made people feel very comfortable.

I looked up, only to find that Xiao En scholar was wearing a gray robe, standing behind me, staring intently at the rune drawn on my hand...
