my age of magic

Chapter 645 144. The Dwarf Advisor of Underground Warfare
A tall figure rushed out of the dark alley, carrying a dilapidated leather suitcase on his strong shoulders, walking towards this side.

Hearing the slightly familiar footsteps, I subconsciously looked up and looked over carefully, only to find that it was the tavern owner Zhuo Kake who came out of the tavern alley with a gloomy face.

When Yerkes and Eve leaned against the corner of the wall and kissed, Yerkes was facing into the wall. From Eve's perspective, he could just see the tavern owner Zhuo Keke approaching for the first time.

Eve's body froze at this moment, perhaps out of instinct, she stood out from the shadows and blocked Yerkes behind her, that maternal radiance lingered on her face.

The pink color on her face hadn't faded yet, she gritted her teeth tightly, but she refused to back down and looked at the tavern owner Zhuo Kak.

Before Eve could speak, the drunk Zhuoka Ke violently smashed the suitcase on the bluestone floor. The whole suitcase was smashed to pieces by a huge force, and the messy clothes inside were scattered all over the floor, including many women. Clothes, but it seems that those clothes are a bit old, the patterns and colors on the plain clothes have faded, but they exude a refreshing smell of saponins, clean and tidy.

Eve saw that the big suitcase was smashed to pieces by Zhuokek, her face turned pale for a moment, her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the joints turned a little white, but she still held Jesus tightly. Keith stands behind him.

The Yerkes scholar stood behind Eve and saw all this clearly, and he wanted to step out.

For a magic scholar at the Imperial Academy of Magic, Yerkes already belongs to the kind of aristocrat who has half-footed into the upper social circle, and is still a magician with magical abilities. In the Grimm Empire, magicians are definitely The most respected profession, with Yerkes' current ability, crushing a commoner tavern owner is undoubtedly as easy as crushing an ant.

Eve felt hesitant as if she had been caught stealing. She bit her lip nervously, and looked at the tavern owner Zhuo Keke with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

My eyes and ears are very sharp, even if I am tens of meters away from them, I can still hear Yerkes whispering behind Eve: "Leave this matter to me, I will come and talk to him." Talk to me, I can give you a free life, trust me, I can handle it very well."

Eve shook her head slightly, and whispered to Yerkes, "He's just drunk. When he's sober, he's still fine. I'll deal with him."

At this time, Zhuokek walked up crookedly, stepping on the messy clothes on the ground, and smiled at Eve with a face full of alcohol, "Hey, why don't you let that little boy behind you stand up?"

Zhuokek walked up to Eve, hooked her white chin with a finger, made her look up at him slightly, then breathed out alcohol at her, and said drunkenly: "Why, do you think Will I still be jealous of you, a bitch, and fight with your little lover?"

He suddenly started laughing wildly, then raised his hands, and turned his body around in a circle.

"Joke, how could my majestic Master Zhuoka Ke lower his status and fight with those rotten people who rely on their faces for food. Now my master and I come into contact with people every day, you don't know who you are! The Tower of Pride The magicians and university scholars inside are all my friends, and the reason why my tavern is so popular is because of the Magic Guild..." He shook his body slightly, pointed in the direction of the Tower of Pride, and hit A wine hiccup continued proudly, "I have friends I know."

There was a mocking expression on his face, he shook his head to wake himself up, and then said to Eve: "I thought you and that dwarf just left without a word, but I didn't expect you It's wonderful for a bitch to openly steal wild men outside the tavern!"

The owner of the tavern, Zhuoka Ke, showed a despicable face, and said to Eve: "I have driven that dwarf away, and everything in this suitcase is your personal belongings. From now on, you have been fired by me." , quickly take your luggage and get out of my tavern. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the slave market to pick two young, beautiful and obedient female slaves, and hope he has the courage to take you home."

Eve heard that Bernd had been kicked out by Chukak, and asked eagerly, "Where did you drive Bernd to?"

The owner of the tavern, Zhuokak, raised his eyebrows and gave a sinister smile before saying, "How would I know! In such a dark night, who knows where a drunk like him can go? Maybe he just fell into the ditch, Maybe you just drowned, but wouldn't it be better that way, without the burden of that dwarf, it would be more convenient for you to ask a lover, while you are still pretty, maybe you should..."

Before Zhuoka Ke finished speaking, there was a crisp "snap!", and Eve's white palm slapped Zhuo Keke, the tavern owner, loudly across the face.

", you dare to hit me, I think you don't want to live anymore." The tavern owner Zhuo Kake, who was slapped firmly on the face, suddenly turned red with his drunkenness, and raised his hair high His fat slap slapped Eve fiercely with a strong wind.

How could Eve dodge, seeing Zhuoka Ke's slap coming, she just slightly lowered her head sideways, closed her eyes and waited for the slap to come, but after waiting for a while, she didn't see Zhuo Keke's slap coming down, She slowly opened her eyes, only to find that the Yerkes scholar was already standing in front of her. Although the Yerkes scholar was not tall, standing still, she also showed the air of a superior person.

About half a foot away from the top of Yerkes's head, there was an extremely delicate round ice shield floating on the ice shield with a layer of light blue ice flames, and Zhuoka Ke's big hand like a bear's paw, Just pressing on that ice shield, those blue ice flames burned slowly on his arms, and a layer of hoarfrost covered the back of Zhuoka Ke's hands.

The layer of frost and snow on Zhuoka Ke's arm has no intention of stopping, and is gradually spreading to Zhuo Keke's wrist.

At this time, Zhuoka Ke opened his mouth wide and looked at Yerkes in horror. He tried hard to withdraw his hand stuck to the ice shield, but it seemed to be frozen very firmly. No matter how hard Zhuoka Ke tried, There was no way to shake off the ice shield sticking to his hands.

Seeing that the ice shield seemed to grow on his hands, the frost and snow had spread over his elbows and began to devour his arms. The incomparable cold even made his arms lose consciousness. The Yerkes scholar in front of him, Zhuo Keke's heart completely collapsed, he sat limply on the bluestone floor, and hugged Yerkes' thigh all at once.

"Lord Yerkes, I didn't know it was you, I didn't know, please forgive me, please forgive me, please remove the magic from my hand!"

Scholar Yerkes ignored the tavern owner Zhuoka Ke who was sitting on the ground crying bitterly, kicked him aside, squatted silently on the ground, and carefully removed the messy clothes scattered on the ground. Pick it up piece by piece.

He found that the old suitcase on the ground had fallen apart, thought about it, and rummaged through his magic pocket for a long time, but failed to conjure a suitcase.

At this time, Zhuoka Ke, seeing Yerkes' expressionless face, even scrambled to Eve's body, hugged Eve's thigh with snot and tears, and started to shout begging for mercy.

Eve wanted to hide, but she didn't. Zhuoka Ke's huge body hugged her calf, and she couldn't move. She stood there with an embarrassed face, not knowing what to do.

Yerkes, who was squatting by the side, found a magic sealing box from the magic pocket at this time, then opened the box, took out the monster leather inside, rolled it into a roll, and stuffed it into the magic pocket again, leaving only An empty magic sealing box.

Scholar Yerkes packed the clothes on the ground in a single mind, as if the box contained extremely precious things, then he stood up holding the magic sealing box, glanced at Zhuoka Ke who had completely collapsed, and said coldly, " Humming, and holding the magic sealing box, he approached Zhuoka Ke, and said to him: "Your ugly face makes me face your only little bit of guilt in my heart, and it completely disappears!"

He glared at Chokak and said, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

Then there was a bitter expression on his face, as if he had just tasted gall, and he grinned a little sadly: "I don't care about those worldly things, I don't care what kind of past she has, I don't even want to disturb you With the kind of relationship I have with her, I feel that as long as she lives happily, there is nothing I can’t do. I have been pursuing three things in my life: freedom, dignity, and ideals.”

It turns out that the Yerkes scholar has been thinking about these things in his heart, and I silently said in my heart: Yerkes scholar thinks too much.

I thought: Do civilian women need love?No, they are not qualified to have love, what they need is the support of life.The greatest happiness for commoner women in every imperial capital is to be able to find a man who has served in the military, has a good family, good character, and is not so lazy.

Yerkes continued, "Maybe what you can give her is exactly what I can't give."

I finally understood what Yerkes said to me before. One day he asked me directly: Jijia, how do you know that Eve is not happy?
However, it turns out Yerkes was dead wrong.

Just when I was thinking wildly, the Yerkes scholar approached Zhuoka Ke with an angry face and said to him: "So I have been unwilling to disturb your life, but I was wrong! Your face Makes me feel sick."

Chokak seemed to have grasped the last straw, tightly grasping the Yerkes scholar's magic robe, and said bitterly, "Please spare me, I am willing to give her to you!"

Holding Zhuoka Ke's fat face with his hands, he questioned him: "She is a commoner of the Grimm Empire, and she has nothing to do with you, and she is not your slave. Why do you say you will give it to me?"

At this time, Zhuoka Ke's right arm was wrapped in ice crystals, and he seemed to be in pain.

At this time, Eve stepped forward and hugged Yerkes' arm, and said to him gently: "Yerkis, can you spare him? After all, he gave me a room where I could hide when I was in the most difficult time." The shabby room that shelters the wind and rain, in fact, sometimes I am very grateful to him, if it wasn't for the life experience in the tavern, how would I have met you!"

Eve's words, like spring water, melted the frost on Yerkes' face in an instant.

Yerkes stepped forward and kicked Zhuoka Ke violently. Zhuo Keke exaggerated like a dead dog, lying on the ground and refused to get up again.

Yerkes said to Chokak in disgust: "Go away, don't let me see you again!"

Then he yelled into the night sky: "Jijia, remove your ice shield, let him go!"

Yes, if I don't take back the magic, for the commoner Zhuoka Ke, the little icy flames on his arm will start from his hand, swallow his entire arm little by little, then his shoulder, and finally It's the head and heart. As long as Shuangxue freezes the heart and brain, he will die completely.

The frost on Zhuoka Ke's arm has spread to his big arm, and it is estimated that his right hand has already lost feeling.

I poked my head out from the edge of the bush wall in embarrassment, but the dwarf Bernd beside me didn't come out. He just hid in the low bush wall, nodded to me as if begging, and then said with a voice that only I could hear. The voice said to me: "I hope Eve can have a new start and a good life, please, Master Jijia Mage, please tell her, just say that I have decided to start a new life , have already left the imperial capital..."

Bernd hesitated for a moment. In his opinion, even a white lie violated moral standards.

He said again with difficulty: "...and a very wealthy magician hired me, let her not worry about my livelihood!"

In this way, I poked my head out of the bushes under the earnest plea of ​​the dwarf Bernd, greeted the Yerkes scholar with a sly expression, and then gently chanted the spell, turning the ice magic on Zhuokek Untie it, and take back that little ice flame.

Zhuoka Ke gave me a fearful look, quickly got up from the ground, and ran into the alley in the dark.

I thought he could say a word of thanks to me against his will, I overestimated him a bit!

In the end, the thing that left me speechless was that the Yerkes scholar and Eve actually treated me like air and ignored my existence.

Eve smiled a little forcedly, and said to Yerkes quietly: "Master Yerkes, I was kicked out and homeless, can you take me in?"

Yerkes didn't say anything. He put the magic sealing box containing Eve's clothes back into his magic pouch, and then he picked up Eve across his waist, and boarded his exclusive car on the side of the road like a hot-blooded youth. magic caravan.

Then, I saw the rider on the magic caravan make a funny face at me, raised his long whip and drove the magic caravan away...

They actually left me in an alley in the back street of the Tower of Pride...

At this time, I saw the extremely lonely dwarf Bernd, got up and walked towards Yulin Street along the alley, and hurriedly chased him, walked side by side with him, and asked him with a smile: "If a wealthy magician hires you , will you accept his employment?"

Bernd turned his head to look at me in surprise, so I asked him: "If I want to ask you, as my war advisor, to help me train some orcs to adapt to underground cave battles, are you capable?"

Bernd's eyes widened, he looked at me full of surprise, and nodded vigorously...
