my age of magic

Chapter 617 116. Wild Growth and Bait
Dusk always comes very early in the imperial capital, the setting sun stretches our shadows very long, the breeze passes through my fingertips, and the fluff on the Tauren’s face flutters gently like wheat waves, Ruka is quiet Sitting next to me, his skin is much darker than the previous few days, and he looks like he has been working in the magic herb garden.

We sat on a giant Tarot tree by the lake behind the Royal Academy of Magic. It is very tall and you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire Academy of Magic. I never thought that a tauren would like to climb trees. Luka and I Looking up at the magic tower on the top of the teaching building, a mighty magic aura shot up into the sky, shooting directly at the royal city floating above the imperial capital, and the powerful magic energy emitted by the seven magic towers gathered in the air, covering the entire imperial capital in one in a transparent cover.

This majestic city located in the crater of Mount Majaro is surrounded by the ring-shaped cliffs of Mount Majaro. There are seven regions in the imperial capital, and each region covers an area almost as large as the city of Sluit. If converted into the area of ​​El City, about thirteen El City would be worth a large area of ​​the capital of God.In the seven major regions of the imperial capital, each region has a magic tower that rises from the sky. These magic towers provide sufficient magical energy for the entire imperial capital's defense circle.

At noon, shortly after Scholar Abel left, the sky of the imperial capital changed dramatically. The huge defensive circle of the whole city was actually opened, which means that the whole city will enter With the state of martial law, it seems that the operation to capture members of the Black Arts Priory has officially begun.

Senior Luke told me: His teacher, Scholar Abel, is one of the seven administrators who are in charge of the magic tower in the Royal Academy of Magic. A magic tower.

No wonder in the morning class, the dean called Abel scholar away temporarily. Although he was very reluctant, he still left in such a hurry.

I put my hands on my forehead to avoid looking up into the sky: "Are you still used to living in the herbal garden?"

Luka's voice was very simple and honest: "Well, it's okay!"

I asked him again: "Does the old man Abel always ask you to work? When you are tired, you can slow down appropriately, and try to choose a place with shade at noon."

Luka said optimistically: "Well, the management of those magical herbs is very simple. The nursery is not a wasteland, there is no harsh climate, and there are no pests and herbivorous monsters, so I don't have to worry about anything, just weeding and watering on time, In fact, watering is also very easy. The irrigation pipelines on the nursery side are very developed. Jijia, why do you dislike the nursery so much? Actually, I would like to share with you what I have heard recently in the nursery See."

After thinking about it, I said, "No, I just don't like the old man Abel. I think he always wants to target me. I don't want to give him this chance."

Luka seemed to be defending the scholar Abel, and immediately defended: "Daddy Abel is not bad."

I sighed a long time: "That's for you, he looks at me with hostility." "If he bullies you, you can move out. I rent a house near the college now. You can live there, and Ella will come over next week, and maybe you'll be a little bit more free if you live there."

"...If possible, I would like to stay here in the Magic Herb Garden to exercise more, is that possible?" Luka hesitated for a moment, but still honestly expressed his thoughts.

"Your matter, of course, you still need to make up your own mind in the end, let me know when you get tired of living, and I will pick you up." I put my hands behind my head, let out a sigh of relief, and said to him.

"Well" Luka was very happy to hear that I didn't object, and then he said to me: "Jijia, I have learned the power of blood 'wild growth' in the ecological park!"

"Oh, that's great!" I said afterward.

Then, I immediately realized that Luka told me that he had awakened the power of blood, I was so shocked that I almost fell from the branch of the tree, looking at Luka, who was staring at the lavender sky with a pair of bull's eyes, was full of surprises Said: "Ah! You mean you awakened the blood talent of tauren warriors, my God! I knew that you were born for tauren warriors. Can you confirm the ability you have?"

The afterglow of the setting sun and the energy shield of the large defensive magic circle of the imperial capital will complement each other, dyeing the entire sky of the imperial capital lavender.

Luka shook his head and thought about it carefully before saying, "Besides the enhancement of physical fitness and strength, there seems to be no other benefits. Oh, by the way, you can also get some extra benefits by taking herbal magic potions. Temporary properties."

The implication is that the magic herb has an additional effect on his body?This is really a strange blood talent.

"...You'd better work in the herb garden honestly, old man Abel is right, it suits you!" I said, maybe living there would be more helpful for Luka's growth.

"Jijia, look!" the tauren Luka smiled foolishly, his bullish face was somewhat smug, and his clumsy big hand took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, then put it in the palm of his hand, and carefully took out the cloth bag. The bag was unfolded, and there were nine metallic-colored wild steel flowers lying inside, and each seed had faint mana fluctuations.

Luca said to me, "I picked it up in the nursery."

"In the future, don't do such a thing. Your character is too simple and honest, and it is easy to show flaws. If the old man Abel finds out, you will be kicked out. Regarding the matter of seeds, I have a new method. We don't have to think about the nursery anymore!" I warned Luka solemnly.

I'm worried that Luka's seed will be discovered by Abel scholars, and stealing such things will cast a shadow on his life.

"It's okay, Father Abel knows that I took these seeds!" Luka said calmly.

"Why do you dare to take it blatantly?" I asked him in disbelief.

Luka smiled and explained: "I picked up the seeds that fell from the pods before they were ripe. After the pods of the wild steel flower matured, there were three or four round seeds in each pod. These seeds Among them, there are often some that have not yet matured, and they fall with the cracking of the pods. They are considered abandoned seeds, and it is difficult to germinate in the future. I pick up these seeds, and then soak them in the "Life Essence" to dilute them It is a pity that only one out of a dozen seeds can survive, and this is the only nine of the more than 100 seeds I picked up. "

On the small island in the middle of the lake in the distance, I saw senior Luke standing at the gate of the ecological park. He waved to me and Luka who were sitting in the tree, and put his hands together around his mouth in the shape of a microphone.

Immediately, Luke's senior called loudly from the air: "Luka, dinner is ready!"

"Hey!" Luka smiled and said to me, "Jijia, then I'll go eat first."

As he said that, his thick and calloused hands firmly put nine wild steel flower seeds into my palm, and then he didn't care whether we were sitting on the branches of a Tairo tree with a height of seven or eight meters. Supporting the trunk with both hands, he jumped down the tree in the air and smashed down like a cannonball.

When Luka was about to fall to the ground, he kicked hard on the tree trunk with all his strength, forcibly canceling the inertia of his body falling, and when he landed on the grass, he rolled forward twice, stabilizing Standing firmly under the Taro tree, he raised his head and waved to me.

Seeing Luka striding towards the island in the middle of the lake as if nothing had happened, I sighed in my heart: the body of the tauren is really strong!
I glanced at the sky and felt that the time was almost up. I slid down from the tree nimbly and ran to the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic. According to the agreement, I should rent a magic caravan at this time and rush to the Academy of Magic.

……

The imperial capital is different today from the past, people are hurrying along the long street.

A not-so-ordinary magic caravan parked quietly at the corner of the street. On the outside of the caravan was a harrier eagle. For some unknown reason, this harrier eagle ready to fly had four fleshy claws and a thin and The long tail and the whole picture are extremely discordant, making this harpy eagle look clumsy. I am afraid it will be difficult to soar into the sky. I don't know which artist it is, but the painting level is so clumsy.

On this long street, near the Royal Academy of Magic, there are many magical caravans waiting for passengers like this. Several young people in windbreakers stepped into the caravan, but after a while, there were a few not-so-happy quarrels, and then They all stepped out of the magic caravan, complaining non-stop, and disappeared into the dim street.

I walked straight along the long street, and I clearly remember that Louis told me in the morning that he would arrange people to wait for me on this street, but I walked all the way from the Royal Academy of Magic and did not see the person arranged by Louis , Where exactly is hiding, and I don't know what to do with this 'trapping operation' arranged at night.

I'm secretly complaining now: The actors are already in place, but the fuck hasn't got the script yet, and the director doesn't know where he's hiding. Could it be that this is just a farce?

It was getting dark, and the road gradually became deserted. A few young people who were chatting and laughing were wandering in the street. The knights from the guard camp rode over slowly, and then ordered them to go home. It was fine at night. Don't just walk out of the house.The heretics of the Priory of the Dark Arts are being hunted down all over the city.

Walking slowly in the street, four lines of stone drum totems are hung on the belt inside the robe, and a magic shield scroll is hidden in the sleeve, and the other hand is touching the magic belt, ready to put it in the pocket at any time. I took out the Shura battle ax, maybe my steps were a little stiff, which made the master knight of the guard battalion look at me suspiciously, but because I was wearing a magic robe and the chest The three badges did not dare to act rashly, but stood on the side of the street on a horse and looked at me vigilantly.

At this time, the magic caravan parked quietly in the corner suddenly moved, and slowly moved forward, and slowed down again when it reached my side.

I frowned, thinking that I didn't know where the people Louis arranged.

In a daze, he waved his hand at the magic caravan, and said softly to the driver in the driver's seat: "Oh, coachman, I don't take a car!"

The driver who wrapped his whole body in a black cloak gently pushed his felt hat, revealing a handsome and young face, his sharp eyes swept over me, and then deliberately made his voice He was hoarse, and said simply to me: "Mr. Magician, have you forgotten the appointment with Lord Louis at night?"

... I was speechless for a while. It turned out that this magic caravan was the person waiting for me, but there was no hint on the caravan, so how could I recognize it.

Sitting in this magic caravan that was about to drive to the research institute, I never figured out where Louis got the confidence to say that I would be able to recognize the person he arranged for me to pick me up. Looking at the Royal Magic The street scenes on both sides of College Avenue flew backwards, and my thoughts drifted to the scene where Scholar Shaun gave me a class in the afternoon:

Those advanced magic runes are really difficult.Those complicated magic lines are not my obstacle, what makes me most entangled is the subtle handling of the corners of the magic lines.

Scholar Xiao En explained those magic runes to me clearly one by one. In just one afternoon, I have learned all the drawing methods of all the advanced magic patterns required for the magic of 'Flexible Thoughts'.

Looking at the parchments full of magic runes on the desk, I knew that the magic circle of 'flexible thinking' was no longer any hindrance to me.

I was very grateful and said to Sean Scholar: "I don't know how to express my gratitude to you, Sean Scholar."

"It's not me that you should be thanking, you know, your story should have touched me!" Scholar Xiao En glanced at Sister Guoguo standing by the window, and then addressed her with a smile like a warm spring breeze on his face. I said.

Quietly looking at the thorn algae growing in the fish tank on the window sill, there seemed to be a faint smile on her face, her expression was extremely focused, I knew, I must not be able to wait too long, all signs have shown that, Sister Guoguo's water element spirit has obvious signs, indicating that she is on the verge of awakening elementary wisdom. I must speed up my pace to find the unknown answer.

Scholar Sean closed the magic book on the table, and said to me: "Lucky for you, oh, these advanced magic runes are basically water magic runes, which happen to be within the range of water magic, and I know better More, if you are asking about space magic, lightning magic or wood magic, I am afraid I can't help you even if I want to."

I looked up at his old face and wise eyes, and asked him naively: "Why did you choose me in the first place? Could it be because I have a little experience of living in the wilderness? There is a little bit of commonality in life, and then there is some resonance!"

Scholar Sean laughed twice: "Of course not. In fact, I have experienced a lot. When I was young, I not only traveled all over the Roland Continent, but also crossed the endless sea and saw the other side of the sea. Not many people have the same experience as me, but I have experienced a different life. When I never go to a strange place, I will always blend in there and live quietly for a few years. The wolf orcs and tauren in the Pai Plateau The ligers, ligers, and centaurs have all left my footprints, and my name will also be included in some gossip books in the dwarf kingdom, the United Kingdom of Aetia, and the marsh kingdom."

"As for choosing you, of course, I have my own considerations. Well, probably because the stone drum totem on your body attracted me, and when I saw you for the first time, I found that your spiritual power is very strong, This actually has a very big advantage. Your meditation time is often much less than others, and cultivation is not very important to you. You need to spend much less energy than other children. This is your talent. , do you still remember what I said to you in the martial arts school?"

I said: "You said let me come to the library to find you, and you taught me a job that can earn college points."

Scholar Xiao En said: "That's right. In fact, what I valued at the time was precisely the power of your four-line stone drum totem. With your current ability, you can join some teams that can perform missions. In my opinion, Those priests in the temple will not do better than you. Only when you have enough points can you read the magic books in this treasure house of knowledge. Let me tell you a secret, the truly valuable magic books can be found in You can't find it on the first floor of the library."

"There are many... There are always some people who cannot refuse, maybe their status is noble, maybe they are powerful, maybe I have many years of friendship with them, and they have various invitations for me, yes, I have auxiliary water systems Magic, I have a water elemental partner 'Grazdok', so I have to deal with many people, and those things always make me unable to refuse, so I have always wanted to find an outstanding water magician to be my spokesperson."

With an idea, I blurted out and asked him, "Is Teacher Heidi also your chosen spokesperson?"

Scholar Xiao En nodded slowly, and said: "She is a very talented water magician, but unfortunately her personality makes it difficult for her to integrate into the circle of high-level magicians, but it is too late to say anything now." Early, the choice between us is mutual, and once you decide, I will give you a lot of convenience, which will be a lot of things that a magician can never use in his life. But you also need to sacrifice some belongings In my own time, do something instead of me, there will be a complete contract between us."

"Don't rush to make a decision, you can think slowly, and then make your own choice based on your own will. Time is a very long thing for me."

……

The magic caravan trembled slightly suddenly, and this movement brought me back from my wandering thoughts in an instant, and my vision returned to the magic caravan, and I immediately pinched the scroll of "Magic Shield" in my hand, The other hand quickly drew a magic circle on the chest, and spit out a short spell from the mouth, and an ice shield appeared in front of my body, completely blocking me.

At this time, I saw a black figure quietly appearing in front of me. I saw him wearing a black hood, tall and burly, and rushing into the carriage with agility. Unfold the scroll of the magic shield for the first time.

At this time, the burly man in black had already lifted the hood on his head, and then revealed a familiar face, which turned out to be Louis, who hadn't appeared for a long time.

My heart was relieved all of a sudden, the magic power between my fingers was quickly cut off, and the cold magic shield blocking the front of my body quickly dissipated into water elements in the air and disappeared into the air.

"Hello, Jijia, it's me, Louis." At the same moment, Louis's calm words rang in my ears.
