my age of magic

Chapter 749 249. Katerina's Dowry

Walking along the corridor of the warehouse, looking at the various supplies in the warehouse, and listening to the quartermaster Mr. Felix talking to me about a lot of things about Trum, I gradually realized that the geographical location of Trum is actually Quite well, the sphere of influence of the Grand Duke of Samoyed has not yet touched the vast area in the south of the Black Forest.

Tanton City, Trume stronghold, and many outposts along the way were originally established to prevent the counterattack of the natives in the big tribes in the south of the Hierro plane.

The Grand Duke of Samoyed is a foreign invader. From the first day they stepped into the Yero plane, they began to invade the homes of those indigenous people, and were rejected by the indigenous people of the Yero plane. The tribal strength of these indigenous people There are strong and weak, and many powerful tribes are in the area south of the Black Forest.

Those aboriginal tribes have their own unique civilizations, and the strength of those tribal warriors is equivalent to the average level of a first-rank fighter. The Grand Duke of Samoyed must send out the Constructed Knights to defeat those aboriginal warriors from the front. It is said that the Grand Duke of Samoyed faced For these original residents, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold in the Yero plane so easily. Facts have proved that wherever there are people, there will be fights, and there are also among the tribes of the indigenous people. The ideas among their tribes are not very unified. Some big tribes are at peace, and some big tribes are at war.

However, it was in such a gap that the Grand Duke of Samoyed led his Constructed Knights and occupied a large area on the Hierro plane.

Pereira City can be regarded as the rear of Samoyed's territory, while Tanton City is at the southernmost end of the Samoyed Grand Duke's sphere of influence.

Many adventure groups headed south from Tanton City to hunt monsters in the forest, collect rare magic herbs, and look for precious gems.After setting off from Tanton City, these adventurers usually pass through Trum, so Trum gradually shows its importance, and it is precisely because of this that Trum gradually expanded from a large outpost to a stronghold , a warehouse for temporary material transfer.

Some merchant groups that conduct smuggling trade with the local aborigines will store their goods in the military warehouse in Trum, and some adventure groups will store their own supplies in the stronghold of Trum, making this place their own. After all, the warehouse here is large enough, and the reputation of Quartermaster Felix is ​​very delisted in Tanton City. Many merchants are more willing to pay a small storage fee to store the hoarded supplies here.

However, as the dark forces in the abyss opened a channel and continuously invaded Trum, the entire territory of the Hierro plane has undergone tremendous changes. Both the adventure group and the merchant group disappeared into the vast southern forest.

Along the way, I heard Felix talk a lot about Trum, and I couldn’t help but ask him: “So, only the bed crossbows in the front are military supplies in the warehouse, and the supplies in the back are already counted as military supplies. Unowned items? Are you sure which merchants will not suddenly run out from Pereira City and take out vouchers to exchange supplies with you?"

"There will definitely be, but there will definitely not be many! What should be taken away, at the beginning of this war, when the Trum stronghold was not trapped, the materials were transferred out." Felix smiled, I think his eyes are more like a shrewd businessman. At this time, he said very firmly: "Besides, now that the whole of Trum has become a ruin, even these bed crossbows are actually a mess!"

I don't understand why Felix wants to tell me this secret. It is said that the less people know about this kind of thing, the better. Does he want to sell these materials to me?Or maybe he guessed that I am currently in a food shortage situation. There are nearly [-] natives of the Hierro plane and [-] barbarians. The amount of food needed is huge. At present, the food produced by the orcs in Xinliu Valley is still far from enough self-sufficient.

I thought: Instead of guessing randomly in my heart, it is better to ask directly.

So I asked calmly, "Then what do you mean by asking me here...?"

I didn't expect that at this time, Felix would keep me a secret. He smiled very gentlemanly, and then said to me: "Please continue to go inside. What I want to say is that the answer is actually on the wall of the secret room in the warehouse. superior!"

There is a rest room in almost every warehouse, and the warehouse transformed from a natural cave under the Trum cliff is no exception.

Two attendants led us to this lounge, pushed open the wooden door of the lounge, and what came into view was a long stone table and a row of wooden chairs with backrests. The shelves beside it were full of water glasses and plates. On the other side is a huge closet, with cooking utensils such as iron pans and kettles, where some simple food can be cooked, and the warehouse managers usually rest here.

I saw that the tables in this lounge were covered with dust. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time. After the two attendants walked in, they quickly took out the rags and began to wipe the tables and chairs. Qige and I followed the quartermaster Felix walked in, found a fairly clean place to sit down, and then looked up at the two attendants.

The attendants understood and walked out of the lounge quickly, closing the door of the lounge behind them.

Felix stood up, took a scroll from the side shelf, and slowly unfolded it in front of the table. An extremely clear and detailed map of Trum was displayed in front of our eyes. This map clearly described each mountain peak. The specific height, the types of trees in each valley, and a lot of important information are also marked on the map, such as the dangerous red cross drawn in the Dustwallow Marsh area, and detailed descriptions in the notes at the bottom of the map Dangerous creatures in Dustwallow Marsh.

I found that on this map, there are still three coins stuck, and two of them are steel coins the size of eggs. I don’t remember which coins in the Green Empire are made of steel, with a light layer of rust on them. The other coin is a silver coin. I think these three coins must have special meaning.

I pointed to the place marked with a red cross, and said to Felix: "I have been here before, this is a swamp with mist floating in it, I killed some spider warriors here, there is a person in this swamp A very strange water element creature, they are almost completely immune to all physical attacks."

"This is a detailed map describing everything around Trum. It's like an encyclopedia, introducing everything around Trum in detail." Felix looked up at me, his forehead There are a lot of wrinkles on the face, and the pupils of the light blue eyes look a little cold.

"It turns out that you have seen the mysterious swamp? It is that swamp that blocked the natives in the southern part of the forest, so that we can build a Trum stronghold here. Those natives want to go to Trum M, a long detour must be made."

Pointing to the location of a steel coin, he said to me: "This is an open-pit iron mine that has not yet been developed in time."

That place also has a little impression on me. I clearly remember that there is a huge screen with a length of about ten kilometers on that hillside, like a huge cliff, so I said to Felix: "I It seems to have been here, there is a huge iron ore there, it looks rusty."

There was a slight smile in Felix's eyes, and he looked more friendly when he spoke to me. He continued to point to another steel coin and said to me: "There is also an iron mine here... and here , this is a silver mine, but it is located in the mountainous area on the east side of Trum, and the road leading there is somewhat difficult."

He smiled at my suspicious eyes, paused for a moment, and said to me earnestly: "This is a very rich land."

"You're right!" I stared at Felix and said, I kind of wondered what he wanted to tell me. It is said that these things should only be needed by the Grand Duke of Samoyed or the administrator of the future Trume stronghold. knew.

Felix let out a sigh of relief pretending to be relaxed, and said: "The winner of the Battle of Trum belongs to us after all, and those spider warriors are all dead."

He pressed his hand casually on the map, and continued: "If you want me to say, the Duke of Samoyed's actions this time must have been a little aggressive. He led the three knights of the structure to approach the spiders of the Nibru tribe. The occupied area, but I didn't expect that these spidermen would also use it to draw their salaries from the bottom of the pot. When he leads the army back to Tanton City, it will be the day to recover the lost land. Of course, this day will not be too far away from us."

This is the first time I've heard people talk about the Grand Duke of Samoyed. It seems that a general of Felix's level has access to some core secrets.

At this time, I heard Felix say again: "At that time, the Grand Duke will definitely reward you for your merits. After all, whether he likes it or not, he still has to show it to others, especially you, Magician Ji Jia, Behind you is the halo of the Imperial Academy of Magic and the Magic Guild. You will definitely be rewarded by the Duke of Samoyed. It also has very rich resources.”

Knowing this time, I understood a little bit. Felix said so much, but he was actually preparing for my future. What he said should be a reward from the Grand Duke of Samoyed. Hearing what Felix said, it seems that Samoyed is a grand duke. The Duke should not be a stingy person.

So I just said, "You mean let me..."

Before he finished speaking, he was quickly interrupted by Felix, who waved his hand and said: "...No, no, I didn't say anything. After all, you still need to make your own decisions on some things, and I have no intention of influencing you. Your thoughts are just before you make a choice, I just want you to recognize the advantages in front of you and the benefits that certain choices in the future will bring to you."

As he said that, he took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, and unfolded it in front of me again. A row of dense lists were placed in front of me, and I heard him say again: "Actually, I brought you to this warehouse. Purpose. I’m just here to claim some supplies, including cotton cloth, hemp, and food, as long as there are in this warehouse, but it must not be those bed crossbows. I can make a list for you, and maybe you will become the new owner of those supplies .”

"..."

I stared at Felix dumbfounded. I didn't know what to say for a while, and I didn't understand why Felix gave me such a big gift. You must know that the other materials in this warehouse are definitely not a small amount. , in El City, if you can have so many supplies, you can basically open a medium-sized business.

At this time, Felix's eyes flashed a soft look, that kind of look is like a loving father looking at his children, no, that look seems to be mixed with other different emotions, there seems to be some nostalgia and reluctance, Perhaps it is a kind of entanglement that the treasure in his hands is about to be handed over to others. Yes, his heart is sour and a little bit entangled. The smile on his face properly expresses these complicated feelings.

Qige looked at me with a half-smile, and seemed to be beginning to understand.

Felix stared at me, and said with a smile on his face: "I have always lived alone in the military. From a young age, I followed the Duke to fight everywhere. I originally thought that this would be my life's destiny, but I didn’t expect that life could have another flavor, which is a colorful world different from black and white.”

His eyes became softer, and he continued: "During the days when Katerina came to Trume, my life became colorful, and she could bring me a cup of hot milk in the morning, maybe by the side of the ditch. Singing while washing clothes, sometimes, I may have an illusion, I feel that Goddess of Luck must have arranged for her to come to me, she is my daughter."

Felix's eyes were immersed in some memories: "From a small clerk, she slowly grew into a tough and indomitable soldier. She struggled on the battlefield bit by bit, bit by bit Overcome the fear in your heart and become an excellent general."

"In her spare time, she would talk about some things about her childhood, but more often, she would mention her trip to the wilderness. Maybe that was her happiest and most memorable day, because in those memories, there was a savage and willful but But the noble lady who can protect her, a homeless boy who is optimistic, kind and perseverant in nature, would rather get hurt than protect his friends, and a little orc with noble blood of orcs who is determined to become a beast king hunter."

"She has always firmly believed that one day, that homeless boy will become a magician, riding a magic handle and coming to Trum with the noble lady to find her. No matter what, as long as those merchants bring the latest news from the imperial capital, she will listen with gusto."

"At that time, I realized that although she was in Trum, her heart stayed in the imperial capital. She came here just to wait quietly."

"I never dared to expect that there would be a magician and nobleman riding a magic handle and coming to Trum with magic radiance to pick her up and give her happiness."

"Of course you know that in Green, being a magician means having a lot of things, such as wealth, women, and rights. Who cares about a passer-by in your childhood life, maybe time will erase some memories."

"But that day, when you appeared on the battlefield outside the stronghold of Trum, holding flames in one hand and ice and snow in the other, although you hid your face in your hood, you must not know what Katerina is standing on the top of the city. The kind of joy that burst into tears, and then I gradually realized that maybe this person in the city is the happiness of her life."

After saying this, Felix freed himself from the memory, and then smiled at me gently: "Since you can give her the happiness she dreams of, of course I will prepare a generous dowry for her, one from Tru quartermaster's dowry!"
