my age of magic

Chapter 631 130. Rengar's Daughter

At noon, the assembly bell rang melodiously, and it was finally time to say goodbye.

Reluctantly, Ying Li followed the battle team organized by the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy, and walked into the teleportation circle temporarily set up at the entrance of the academy.They will be the first to arrive at the next ancient castle, where there is a portal to the Manda plane. These fourth-grade students in the college will experience a month-long experience journey on the Manda plane .

After Ying Li followed the crowd into the portal, Le Die passed me by like a stranger, but Lucia nodded politely to me, and the two of them left together arm in arm Entered the square in front of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy.

The square in front of the gate of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy became a mess, and the parents who came to see them off also left one after another. Only a few gray pigeons landed on the square full of rubbish. , Walking around in a leisurely manner, looking for something to eat.Obviously, they won't be disappointed here. The students in the academy left a lot of garbage, among which food residues and some fruit cores are the most discarded on the ground.

One after another, the carriages spread out from the entrance of the college and merged into the road network extending in all directions.

I declined the warm invitation of the Prince of Wales, and left the Junior Magic Academy alone and silently.

On the street, I found a magic caravan, gave the address on the key plate to the coachman, and asked him to drive me to the place where Rengar's daughter lived.

Sitting in the carriage, I felt the wheels rolling on the bluestone slabs, making a 'creaking' sound, and then the magic caravan drove away from the Junior Magic Academy.

……

The carriage drove all the way into the seventh district of the imperial capital. When I passed the No. 22 road, I stuck my head out of the car window and glanced at the square in the distance and the Campbell nursing home on the north side of the square. I just passed by , When the carriage drove into the residential area, my sight was blocked by a row of houses facing the street, and I immediately looked away.

The seventh district of the imperial capital belongs to the most fringe area of ​​the imperial capital. Although the streets here are still clean and tidy, the distance between the street lights has obviously become slightly longer. The street trees on both sides have been replanted with some pears, hawthorns, apples, plums, etc. Different kinds of fruit trees, and even some chestnut trees are planted in the yard of some houses.

Entering the residential area here, you will obviously feel that there are more pedestrians on the street. The life here is very strong. There will be many old people lying on the benches under the trees chatting, and some young people wearing linen clothes Children are chasing each other and playing in the street. The clotheslines in those yards are full of clothes, and there will be a small storage platform in the attic of some houses.

Most of the houses here are three-story small western-style buildings, and each house has a clear house number on the front door. Yingli and I would wander around the streets and alleys of the imperial capital during our rest days. At that time, I was very envious of the imperial capital. The environment in the civilian area made them feel that the place they lived in was more luxurious than the one built in the wealthy area of ​​El City. It was only later that they realized that in these small two-story or three-story western-style buildings, there would actually be three or five different families crowded together.

These poor people often only have one bedroom, and they need to share the same living room, kitchen and bathroom. Their daily life is by no means as comfortable as it seems on the surface.

I saw some younger children who would be left in the room by the adults. They could only lean against the window and watch the children on the street playing and playing enviously.

The shrub walls on both sides of the street are all planted with some blueberry trees, and they are closely arranged together. At this time, the clusters of light blue flowers on the blueberry branches have withered, and at this time, small blueberries are already growing on them. , the bunches are like hawthorn fruit, the color is still green.

When these fruits mature, these fruit trees may be able to slightly improve the lives of people in the slums of the imperial capital.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of an alley. The coachman opened the wooden door of the carriage and nodded politely to me. I threw a shiny silver coin to him, and then told him, if you can wait for me here , I will go back the same way in his magic caravan, and then I will pay him two extra silver coins. The coachman was naturally overjoyed, laughed happily, and kept nodding.

Obviously, for him, if he can earn three silver coins a day, it will be a good income.

Then I jumped out of the carriage, saw that the house number here was indeed the same as the key plate indicated, and walked into a slightly messy yard, only to find that there were actually a few people standing in this yard.

One of them, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous silk robe, stood on the steps with a big belly, staring at a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, pointed to the civilians around him and said, "Stop arguing, I'm going to talk to you today." Get those two orcs out, but the cost of the attic they rented will be shared between you until a new tenant is found, don't think I'm joking."

Immediately, someone in the crowd complained: "It's not fair, Master Ivan, why should we pay for the rental fee for that house?"

The noble middle-aged man stepped fiercely on the wooden pier of the steps, pinched his waist with one hand, pointed at the complaining man with the other hand, and said in a very harsh tone: "It's not that you asked me to take those two Because of this, I will suffer the loss of four silver coins every month, who will be responsible for my loss, who will be responsible? Well, of course it is you! You are the initiator of this matter."

"And my lord, I have to take some risks for this. He is a warrior of the orc tribe, a liger. It's not like you haven't seen the two scimitars on his waist. They have seen blood." After the middle-aged nobleman finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his oily and fat face, then rolled his small eyes and stared at the group of people.

I stood quietly at the door for a long time, only to realize that no one noticed me. I was about to step in when I heard chaotic footsteps behind me.

Looking back, I found a group of knights and masters riding on horses. There was a commoner boy leading the way at the front. The boy was already panting from exhaustion. The boy insisted on running into the yard before he sat down on the ground and gasped Then he pointed to the attic of the house and shouted loudly: "Master Knight, I saw the banshee from that window."

I didn't expect to meet a group of knights from the guard battalion here. When I heard what the boy said, my heart sank.

That's right, Rengar's daughter is not a beastman, she is a harpy with royal blood. If they are strictly divided according to race, they should be monsters bred from demons and wild beasts , but those harpies of royal blood should have elementary intelligence, and the banshee upstairs is hard for me to define what she belongs to. It's really not good for the masters to catch the guard camp.

Although she is the daughter of the liger Rengar, her physical signs reveal all the characteristics of the royal harpy. Even though she has the blood of the liger, those knights will not pay attention to it. , I think they prefer to study whether there is a magic core in Harpy's head.

When the boy was shouting, I followed the direction of his finger and looked towards the attic, and I actually saw a slender figure passing by the window.

How sharp my eyes are, even though there is a light veil inside the glass window of the attic, I still see some pure white feathers.

It's just that at this time, those knight lords were busy dismounting one after another, and when they looked over, there was no one in the window.

The knights of the guard battalion looked at each other suspiciously, then raised their eyebrows and said fiercely to the civilian boy: "Son, you must know that if you deceive the guard battalion knights for no reason, you will receive ten lashes."

The commoner's face turned pale after hearing this, obviously he knew very well how terrifying the punishment of whipping is, but at this time he still nodded firmly, making sure that he understood the consequences.

The knights walked into this small courtyard and saw me at the door. They didn't pay much attention at first, they just thought that my strange clothes were a bit of an eyesore, but when they saw the magic badge on my chest, their arrogant faces became very kind again. I nodded slightly, followed the boy one after another, and walked into the courtyard.

The middle-aged aristocrat in the yard, who was slightly fatter, jumped up angrily when he saw the commoner boy ushering in a group of knights from the guard battalion, but he didn't dare to get angry in front of these master knights, he just stared at him viciously. Glancing at the civilian boy, he quickly rubbed his hands together, showing a simple and honest smile, and greeted him.

I begged secretly, this face changed really quickly, if I hadn't seen his acrimonious face before, it would be hard to imagine that such a generous nobleman with an affectionate smile on his face would be so sharp teeth.

The last gentleman knight passed me by. The next second, he stopped suddenly, then turned around and looked at me carefully.

I gave him a strange look, and saw the guard battalion knight slapped his forehead with his hand suddenly. He squinted his eyes and smiled kindly at me: "Master, your injury is healed? Are you ready?" Why are you here, you must have been sent by the Magic Union to assist us!"

I glanced at him in astonishment, and immediately remembered that this guard camp knight was the knight who foolishly ran into the Tower of Pride last night and wanted to take me to the guard camp to assist in the investigation. Obviously, when he knew that Wales and I After the prince had a good friendship, when he saw me again this time, his tone and attitude changed significantly.

Hearing what the knights behind said, the whole team of knights stopped and looked at me in amazement, only then did they see me standing by the doorway wall—and the gleaming magic badge on my chest.

So a knight with the captain's epaulettes walked over quickly, stood in front of me and gave me a neat knight salute, with a smile on his face, and said to me very warmly: "Your Majesty, Mage It would be great for you to personally cooperate with us in investigating the remnants of the Priory, welcome! I am Montgomery, the captain of the Seventh Team of the Guard Battalion."

Recently, the Guard Battalion and the Magic Guild jointly cleared up the remnants of the Black Magic Priory. Obviously, he regarded me as the magician responsible for clearing up the heretics of the Priory. At this time, I was worried that I could not participate. The topic of the knight captain, I was very happy to touch the magic badge on the chest, and then said modestly to the knight captain: "Master Scholar just asked me to help you, if you encounter problems that cannot be solved, the Magic Guild will give The greatest support and help, water magician Jijia, is applying for temporary reassignment to your team, Knight Commander Montgomery Your Excellency."

"Thank you, Mage Jijia!" Cavalier Captain Montgomery was very happy to see me being so polite, and directly stating that I came here not to seize power, but to assist in the investigation and give help. He shook my hand affectionately, Then he took my shoulders and walked into this courtyard with me, and introduced what they knew to me while walking. It turned out that this civilian boy directly found them who were patrolling, and said that they lived in a civilian area. In the attic, there is a white bird monster.

Hearing what the knight captain Montgomery said, I felt nervous for a while, thinking that this matter is really tricky, but I didn't expect that by coincidence, at this time, Rengar's daughter would reveal her identity.

In the decrees of the Grimm Empire, although there is no decree prohibiting the entry of the harpies, these monsters with elementary intelligence are strictly controlled, and once the news spreads, I don’t know how many demon hunters will come. Hunt down this young harpies, and even if those demon hunters really kill Rengar's daughter, I can't do anything to them, because their vocation is to be demon hunters. Hunt and kill this kind of monster with elementary intelligence.

I sighed softly, thinking that since I promised Rengar to take care of his daughter for him, I must keep my word.

I looked up at the fat middle-aged nobleman who was stopped aside, and saw that the noble medal on his chest was only a first-class baron.

In this imperial capital where 'earls walk all over the streets, and viscounts are as numerous as dogs', a small first-class baron really can't let the knights of the guard battalion take a look at him. He is just a little nobleman living at the bottom of society. Perhaps his situation is relatively better, at least he still has such a property in the imperial capital, which can be rented out to these commoners in exchange for some silver coins to live on every month.

So at this time, the middle-aged baron looked nervous and wanted to come over and explain something to Montgomery, the knight captain of the guard battalion, but was stopped by other knights.

As for the civilians who surrounded the middle-aged baron just now, they were already huddled in the corner in fright. At this time, no one wanted to be involved in this incident, so no one was willing to come over.

The knights of these guard battalions are used to being arrogant in these civilian areas, and they are almost not prepared to ask questions. After learning about the basic situation inside the house, two knights strode to the door and directly wanted to rush into the house. in the house.

At this time, I gently pulled the knight captain from the side, and seeing him looking at me in surprise, I quickly said: "Excuse me, Captain Meng, actually this time I also got the opportunity through other channels. According to some information, there is a liger who keeps a harpy in captivity, and it is said that the liger is a very brave warrior..."

"Roy, wait a minute!" Captain Montgomery was considered quick-witted, and immediately understood what I meant, and immediately stopped the knight who was about to rush up and kick the door.

Then he set his sights on the fat middle-aged nobleman. Captain Montgomery stroked the saber at his waist with one hand, and walked over slowly. With a faint sneer on his face, he looked at the middle-aged nobleman.

Before he could speak, the middle-aged nobleman turned pale with fright, and greasy sweat appeared on his forehead with guilt.

Captain Montgomery still didn't understand the situation, so he yelled at the middle-aged nobleman: "I think you really want money and life, and you dare to take anyone in. Tell me who you gave the attic team to, and speak slowly. Be careful, I will kill you first, and then give you the name of a heretic of the Black Magic Priory!"

Captain Montgomery swiftly pulled out the knight saber from his waist, and placed the gleaming saber on the fat neck of the middle-aged nobleman, making a gash against the skin of his neck. His saber skills are really very good That's right, the blood vessels on the neck were avoided, and the open wound only exposed the white fat inside, but there was no bleeding.

But with just such a movement, the middle-aged nobleman was so frightened that he completely collapsed on the ground, all feces and urine flowed out from his lower body, and an unpleasant stench came from under his buttocks.

"Master Knight, please forgive me. I just rented the attic of this house to a couple of orc fathers and daughters. The liger warrior said that she was a mercenary and lived here in the imperial capital. His daughter is very precious. It has always been tightly wrapped, covered with a light veil, and has never shown its true colors to others, I really didn't know it was a monster!" At this time, the middle-aged baron had a complete mental breakdown, and told all the situations he knew, He spit it out all at once, and then murmured the same sentence over and over as if possessed: "I am a nobleman...don't kill me...I am a nobleman...don't kill me..."

Captain Montgomery turned pale with anger, kicked the middle-aged viscount down, and then turned his head to look at the commoner youth who had already been frightened in shock. He was the one who led the way and brought the knights of the guard battalion here. Yes, at this moment, when he saw the captain of the knight walking towards him with a fierce look on his face, he thought he was going to kill him, but he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

"If Mage Jijia hadn't reminded me, I didn't know that there was an orc warrior in this attic, why didn't you just say that?" Montgomery asked the civilian boy angrily, with the tip of the saber on the boy's forehead, With just a little force, the tip of the knife can penetrate into the boy's head.

"Wow... I don't know, I don't know if he has come back. When I looked for you, the liger hadn't come back yet. He often goes out, and he goes away for a few days..." The boy burst into tears, Then choked up and said these words.
