my age of magic

Chapter 676 176. Not everyone likes to travel

Walking through the Black Forest on foot, our feet were extremely slippery, and we walked out of the area full of bushes, surrounded by tall trees, and the gap between the trees seemed very open, and the rain soaked the rotten leaves. It will be very difficult to take a step.

The entire Black Forest is like a big muddy puddle that has been trampled on. The leather boots will be wrapped in sticky mud, and the inside of the long leather boots has been filled with stagnant water, making the boots filled with lead.

Because of the rain just now, this jungle looks very humid. From time to time, there will be huge and cold water droplets falling from the leaves above the head, accidentally falling on my neck, feeling a little cold.

The faces of the two sons of the noble family were a little pale, and their golden curly hair was sticking wetly to their foreheads. They would rather have their hair wet by the drops of water dripping from the top of the tree than wear those kind of rustic fur hats.

The two of them were wearing the most popular short leather boots in the imperial capital, which now looked like rotten straw sandals wrapped in a layer of mud. They still maintained the pride of magicians, wearing black magic robes.

It's a pity that the hem of the exquisite magic robe was also wet by the dew in the forest, and the wet magicweave cloth wrapped around their legs, making them unable to take a step.Some golden stitches embroidered on the magic robe have been scraped away by the iron thorns on the thorns, and the magic breath on those lines has gradually weakened.

"Why do we have to go through this damn forest? What's the use of this kind of experience? Can this black forest be turned into a battlefield?" One of the young nobles began to whine and complained to his companions.

That companion was obviously more patient than him. He leaned against a slippery tree and said with a wry smile: "Be patient, after graduation, I will join the family's Construct Knights, the one in our family." The plane is similar to here, I should adapt here as soon as possible."

Then the companion walked forward and said: "Perhaps life in the military camp is like this, walking on different roads every day, rushing from here to there, then conquering there, and then rushing from there to other places, continue to conquer! "

The whiny young nobleman said softly: "Then I will also choose a place without a jungle first!"

The young nobleman slipped, one foot stepped into the muddy water and almost fell, he staggered, lost his balance, and threw himself forward.

However, he was grabbed by his companion in front of him, and finally he didn't fall into the mud. He exhaled softly, and just wanted to say thank you, but he didn't expect that after pulling his back foot out of the mud puddle, The leather ankle boot was stuck in it.

"Oh my god! My shoes are stuck in the mud." The young nobleman who was about to collapse yelled angrily.

He stood under a big tree in a state of embarrassment, with one hand resting on the trunk of the big tree, and the other hand pulled up the mage's robe wrapped around his legs, exposing his feet. On his left foot was wearing a The shoe on the right foot was gone, the foot was soaked white by the rain, stepped on the slippery tree roots, and some green moss stuck to the trouser leg, looking very embarrassed.

Listening to the conversation of the two young nobles behind them, seeing their slightly embarrassed appearance, it seems that they have not adapted to the rhythm of the jungle.

I thought that they were born in aristocratic families, received good education since childhood, and were talented and intelligent, and became top students of the Royal Academy of Magic. I am afraid that they have not suffered any setbacks since they grew up.Now, they have just walked into this forest, and various situations happen frequently.

Obviously, the three women in the team are significantly more adaptable.

After all, Qige had traveled to the Pai Plateau.

In addition, for a magic pharmacist, Qige has been to many places, and she needs to go to various places to study the characteristics of those magic herbs. She has been to many places over the years, forests, swamps, lakes, hills, deserts, valleys and rivers , such a black forest must not be the most difficult place she has ever experienced.

Lucia is a half-elf with the blood of the silver moon elves.

Being close to nature is the innate talent of every elf. Whether it is a mountain valley or a grassland forest, for Lucia, only these inaccessible places can be considered close to nature.Her steps are light, her body's toughness and balance are excellent, even if she steps on slippery tree roots, she won't slip.

Takama, the maidservant of the tribe, is a lizardman who has lived in the swampy jungle since she was a child.

Their wild swamp is located at the southernmost tip of Qiyan City. The conditions there are far more difficult than here. Not only is there an extremely humid environment, but there are also swamp fog and poisonous miasma. There are poisonous insects, snakes and ants everywhere. This jungle, It will only make Takama feel a little familiar taste, and it will definitely not feel any hardship.

A giant python is wrapped around a white-ringed vine not far in front. This giant python is about ten meters long. There is a big lump on its body covered with colorful stripes. I don't know what it swallowed. At this moment, it is lazily lying on the tree vine, quietly digesting the food in its stomach.

At this time, the pythons are very safe, and they don't have any desire to eat until they have digested the food in their stomachs.So I just pretended that I didn't see the giant python with its head hanging halfway from the vine, passing under the white ring vine.

I walked over first, and asked Qige as I walked, "Do you know Adele, the president of the Dragon Society?"

Qige followed behind me, she had a refreshing ponytail tied up, her body was very agile, she jumped several times on the tree roots, passed under the white ring vine briskly, and gave a soft 'um', she spoke The voice is very soft, probably only I have such keen hearing and I am close to her that I can hear clearly: "That girl always likes to be independent, and she has been a Welsh follower since she was a child. We grew up together. She is better than me. Two years younger!"

Seeing Lucia and the two young noble magicians lagging behind, we stopped under a tree. Unfortunately, we didn't see any monsters along the way. Maybe it was bad luck. It is at the edge of the forest, and it does not belong to the activity area of ​​those monsters.

There are no magic herbs around here, not even some of the most common primary magic herbs. It seems that this area has been trampled.

Qige carefully peeled off a piece of bark on the trunk with a knife, held it in his hand, flipped through it and said: "I have to go further inside, it is full of human smells, I guess those herb collectors have nothing Will stay with us!"

Throwing the bark into the puddle, the moss-covered bark swirled constantly on the water.

Then I heard Qige say again: "The current president of the Dragon Society has been such a stinking character since he was a child. He likes to be more serious about everything, and likes to dig into the horns. The smarter she is, the more innocent she used to be. Before she was 12 years old, she participated in four magic pool awakening ceremonies, but unfortunately she failed to awaken her own magic pool."

As she spoke, she smiled with emotion: "Originally, the old guys in her family were completely desperate for her. Everyone would have thought that she would suddenly awaken the talent of the family bloodline a year before the coming-of-age ceremony." Dragon Blood', and then became a dragon blood mage unstoppably, sometimes, fate likes to play tricks on people like this!"

I smiled and said, "It looks like she likes yours very much... The Prince of Wales is still very attractive!"

Qige stopped and squinted at me, her eyes were like shining stars in the night sky, and then said: "The seventh heir to the Green Empire, in terms of the current situation, the kingship has nothing to do with him. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Knights with excellent grades. In recent years, he has participated in several battles with outstanding performance. The comments of the dukes all spoke highly of his battlefield command, saying that he is the youngest in the Grimm Empire. One of the two generals, you said that such a prince who will not pose any threat to the throne is also a general who can command an army like Prince James. Of course, he belongs to the imperial capital and is the most popular His Royal Highness!"

I suddenly had an ominous premonition, and asked Qige by the way: "The two youngest generals you mentioned in the imperial capital, the other one will not be the youngest of the Mo family, right?"

Qige was a little surprised and asked me back: "Do you know him?"

I could only say with a wry smile, "That's right!"

Qige seemed very curious, so he asked me: "Is there a festival between you? The two of them are known as the expectations of the Green Empire. Looking back, I will help you with Welsh. The Mohist young man and Welsh are very Good friends!"

I scratched my head in embarrassment, and felt that I had touched a slippery, round, cold and icy thing on my hand. I grabbed it off and found that it was a leech, but at this moment its body was covered with hoarfrost, and its body had been covered with frost. It was frozen hard, like a piece of white chalk.

Unexpectedly, it secretly sucked my blood without me noticing it. Maybe it just sucked a mouthful of blood, and it was frozen into a popsicle by the "light blue ice flame" contained in my blood, hanging on the top of my head, nonchalantly Throw it on a tree trunk and smash it to pieces.

I thought about it seriously, and then said: "Not really! I have had some contact with the young master of the Mo family, and there is no grievance! It's just that William doesn't like me, the one from the Dragon Society..."

Qige nodded and sneered indifferently.

"William is not Mo Xiang. Don't look at his outstanding magic talent and the 'blood of the dragon' on his body. He has no status in the Mo family. Don't worry about the people behind him. Some people have tasted it once they have power. The taste of power is to cherish one's own feathers very much, but for this fourth-year dragon blood magician who successfully passed the first job change, you still have to be careful, if you are really blocked by others, give him a good beating , you have nothing to reason with." After speaking, Qige seemed to have imagined my embarrassment, and couldn't help laughing, her voice was clear and sweet, echoing in the forest like a silver bell
At this time, Takama stood under the white ring vine in a daze, with longing gazes from his golden pupils, like a little girl staring at the delicious cakes in the window of a cake shop. It is not a rumor that people like to eat snakes by nature.

The giant python also found the lizard man Takama under the tree, and immediately became a little alert from a drowsy state, as if it was facing a big enemy, as if it wanted to escape but dared not.

However, it was obvious that Qige didn't like to eat snake meat, so she quickly waved her hand to the maid Takama, and said, "Takama, that guy is too big, it's very troublesome to deal with, and who knows how much it eats in his stomach?" Am I alone, I don’t want to eat only snake meat for dinner, if possible, I want to eat pheasant bird.”

The maid Takama touched her lips with her flexible tongue, then looked away disappointed, and passed under the white ring vine silently.

The giant python slipped away as quickly as if it had been granted amnesty.

At this time, the two high-achieving magic students who were following quickly retracted the fireball in their hands, trying to make themselves less nervous, and then chased up from behind with a look of lingering fear.

Although, with their strength, they only need to bend their little fingers slightly and chant the spell of 'fireball' to burn that ordinary giant python to ashes, but they still look very nervous, probably the first time they have seen it. Seeing such a behemoth, I don't know what to do.

The expression on Lucia's face, who was walking in the queue, was an indescribable disappointment.

The spirit advocated by the Sword and Rose Club can be summed up in two words: bravery.

It's the 'Sword and Rose Society' rather than the 'Sword and Magic Society'.

The club advocated that magicians should learn some fighting skills properly, so that when they encounter unexpected situations on the battlefield, they will not be powerless to fight back. If there is more time, perhaps the subordinates behind him will have enough time to rush over to support the rescue.

Qige also saw the embarrassment of the two young nobles. On the first day after entering the jungle, the two young nobles who paid great attention to appearance and neatness made themselves as embarrassed as tramps. It seems that the flower seedlings in these greenhouses need Only after experiencing some wind and rain can we really grow up.

She patted Lucia on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't take it to heart, when Jijia was in New Siakis Mountain, she saw a big bear and burst into tears on the spot, almost peeing her pants in fright. , it’s not as good as them, they need a process of getting familiar with slowly!”

What Qige said made Lucia deeply think.

I opened the way in front of the two of them, and I couldn't justify myself, but I said in my heart: Qige, you are exaggerating a little bit. When I was in New Siakis Mountain, what I met was not a big bear, but a second-level monster. Is the earth storm bear good?I wasn't so scared that I burst into tears on the spot, but I shed tears of sympathy when I saw the ranger Tia was seriously injured by the earth storm bear's claws, and I didn't pee my pants in fright!
Who knows, these were Qige's comforting words to Lucia, but they somehow reached the ears of the two young nobles, but they heard them intermittently and incompletely, thinking that Qige was laughing at my timidity , so he stepped up, worked hard to maintain his stalwart image, and said confidently: "Don't say it's a big bear, even if it's a big bear, we can throw a few fireballs, and before they rush over, Burn it alive."

"That's right, as a first-rank magician, there is no reason to be afraid of any second-level monsters!" said another young nobleman.

At this time, he still had a confident smile on his face, but he saw the lizard man Takama standing opposite him, holding a hunting bow in his hand, and quickly hit three encounters, his golden pupils shot a cold gaze, Staring at him like a poisonous snake, his face suddenly turned pale.

And at the same time, I picked up the Thorium long-barreled shotgun and fired at the young nobleman without even a moment's hesitation.

Right behind the young noble magician, under the shadow of a big tree, a dark blue nightsaber more than three meters long suddenly appeared out of thin air. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing white fangs more than a foot long. , let out a roar.

"Ow..."

It turned into a black bolt of lightning and rushed towards the back of the young noble mage's neck. The young mage seemed to have felt the gust of wind behind him, but was paralyzed by the roar of the night saber. He suddenly fell down on the muddy swamp, his face was bloodless, and he couldn't even think of avoiding or tearing off a magic shield scroll.
