my age of magic

Chapter 766. 266. Return to Pereira City
The sky of Tanton City is like a landscape painted with thick brush and ink. In my eyes, Tanton City has a clear outline. This majestic city stands at the foot of Aconcagua Mountain, with mottled gray stone walls carved Mark of.

The outer city is in a state of ruins. Topless slaves are cleaning up the sundries in the outer city. A team of horse-drawn carts slowly pass through the city gate with the rubbish cleared from the ruins. Some destroyed buildings are rebuilt. Scaffolding was set up, and craftsmen repaired the cracks on the houses. There were obviously fewer tents in the shanty town than the previous few days. The indigenous slaves carried heavy stones and moved them to the crossroads of the block with great effort.

Whenever an aboriginal slave passed by carrying stones, the infantry soldiers standing at the intersection would hand over a red-painted wooden stick to the aboriginal hard worker.Every ten wooden sticks can be exchanged for a bowl of porridge.

There is a row of large iron pots at the foot of the city wall outside the inner city. Some women in civilian clothes are holding long spatulas and stirring the porridge in the big pot. Bubbles are bubbling in the steaming porridge. Rows of rough wooden dining tables are empty, and it looks like it's not time for dinner yet.

Most of the civilians moved back into the repaired houses, and the city was full of prosperity.

The banner on the city wall was fluttering in the wind, and Knight Disraeli stood on the top of the city, looking at me from afar.

I stood on the side of the airship, waving my arms to the Disraeli knight.

'Farewell, warriors of Trume. '

The airship took off from Tanton City's temporary airport, and Qige and I finally left this city scarred by the baptism of war. The airship headed for Pereira City and will arrive in Pereira City in three days.

After Tanton City won the war, we divided up the big cake as victors. Not only did I get enough merits with those black magic crystals as I wished, I became the third-class earl, and I also won A huge territory, including the development rights of the southern part of the Black Forest, the great lake of the Ancient Tree of War, the mountains east of Trum, and so on.

It's just that the war is not yet clear, and the city of Trum can only be rebuilt after the situation stabilizes.Within three years, a new city of Trum will be rebuilt on the original site. This is precisely one of the conditions I promised the Duke of Samoyed, otherwise he will unconditionally take back the management rights of Trum.

Within the scope of the Trum area, there are not only two iron-rich mines with huge reserves, but also a more valuable silver mine, and a large lake with abundant products. The ancient war tree in the center of the large lake has a halo of harvest, which can Reclaiming land by the lake to grow food, the land here is fertile leaf mulch accumulated over years of leaves, and the climate is mild and humid, which is why I directly wanted to buy that Dustwallow Marsh in the first place.

After the ancient tree of war told me that it has the effect of 'harvest' with the aura of the lord, I made up my mind to take this swamp area as my own.

The Duke of Samoyed has never given up lobbying. He wants to buy the big killers in the Battle of Trum: fire phosphorus bombs and corpse fire oil.

But I kicked this ball to the Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital. The Duke of Samoyed is considered a king in Talwar Province, but in the Imperial Capital, he is just a lord of the remote western region among the many provinces of the Green Empire. He has a rich plane in his hands, that's all. Among the many noble families in the Green Empire, the Duke of Samoyed can only be regarded as a newly promoted dignitary.

I hold a piece of exquisite magic parchment in my hand, which is a coronation document with the private seal of the Duke of Samoyed, and there is only one sentence written in the blank space:

'This honor is awarded to the magician who made outstanding contributions in the Battle of Trum - Jijia'

The name of the Duke of Samoyed was signed at the signing place, and his personal seal was affixed. This coronation document has already come into effect, and a golden Earl Medal is in my palm.

Qige stood at the bow of the ship, facing the humid wind blowing from the airship, her long hair was fluttering with the wind, and her dark green magic robe was blown violently by the wind, and her body was surrounded by cyclone.

After the airship ascended to the sky, there were a large number of wind-attribute magic elements floating in the air, which was very suitable for wind magicians to meditate, and it was also a rare experience to encounter this kind of airflow full of thick wind elements in the sky. Opportunity, Qige seems to enjoy this feeling of being filled with wind elements.

Takama and Karan were silently guarding Qige's side to prevent her from being inadvertently disturbed by other people while she was meditating. Those passengers were also quite self-aware. They saw a Magician, just as no one would walk into that area.

On the contrary, I am not so conspicuous in the crowd, maybe a little different, and in the eyes of others, I have a little bit of fancy clothes.

I am wearing the 'Earth Shield' armor given to me by the Yerkes scholar and the leather battle skirt made of emperor squid leather, with a fish skin hood on my head, like a certain noble family The aristocratic dandy, especially with a sharp kukkur hanging nondescriptly from his waist, huddled next to a red-haired girl in tight leather armor, and talked to the delicate-looking red-haired girl without saying a word. Girl strikes up a conversation.

The red-haired girl was sometimes amused by me, crying and laughing, the tears on her pitiful cheeks hadn’t been dried by the wind, she was angry at times, and smiled at times, making the surrounding noble boys who escaped from Tanton City, It looked resentful.

Those murderous eyes stared at me, but I felt like a sense of taste.

Who would care about their feelings? Since they left Tanton City at this time, those nobles meant that they gave up their foundation in Tanton City.

Compared to those aristocratic teenagers who left Tanton City in embarrassment like a bereaved dog, I have many legitimate reasons for leaving Tanton City at this time.

First, the deadline for the collection of the Royal Academy of Magic has expired.

Second, I count as someone who has made outstanding contributions to Tanton City.

Third, leaving Tanton City this time promised the Duke of Samoyed to prepare low-level magic herbs for him in the imperial capital to prepare healing potions.

I made no effort to hide my hostility, and turned back to those noble boys who glared at me with sharp eyes.

……

The sixteen floating magic circles on the airship were fully activated and headed towards the city of Pereira at full speed.

The people on the airship gathered on the deck. From their melancholy eyes, we can see the reluctance in many people's eyes. However, in this war-torn period, Tanton City, which was rumored to be impenetrable, was broken down very easily. What the nobles in the city saw was the defense system of Tanton City, which was as fragile as paper in front of the spider warriors.

After losing the last bit of confidence, all that remains is 'go as far as you can'.

This may be what many nobles in Tanton City thought. They sold off the property in Tanton City as quickly as possible, and then quickly left Tanton on the first airship that came from Pereira City after the war. city.

Obviously, those who are eligible for this ship are basically those nobles who decided to give up the foundation of Tanton City.

Katerina held down her brocade-like red hair to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind on the deck of the airship. A trace of melancholy appeared on her delicate face. Standing at the stern of the airship, looking back at Tanton City, Her ruddy lips were slightly pursed, probably recalling the details of her life in Tanton City.

"Don't worry, we will come back here soon, and it's not a farewell. I promised you that I will build a bigger city on the original site of Trum. I always keep my word." Carter and I Linna stood side by side by the ship's side, looking at the castle that has become extremely blurred. At this moment, I can only see some faint outlines, so I comforted Katerina.

Katerina wiped her tears, her nose was still a little red, but she said stubbornly, "No!"

She turned her head cautiously and glanced at the bow of the ship, and found that Qige was in meditation, so she stuck out her tongue playfully, then tightly hugged one of my arms, looking at me with a little blurred eyes, facing me He exhaled blue in his ears and said, "Thank you for coming to Yelo and looking for me."

"Ah!" I agreed softly.

I really want such a beautiful moment to be frozen forever.

We just lay on the ship's side like this, watching the gray clouds above our heads like the galloping river flowing, no one said anything, just quietly blowing the wind on the deck.

"Jijia, is Haiyinsi far from the imperial capital?" Katerina asked me curiously after a long time.

I scratched my head and thought for a while, then said: "It's okay, I haven't been there, but I think it should be about the same distance as Sloit City. If you take an airship, it will probably take half a month."

Like a lazy kitten, Katerina was lying on the side of the thick iron-wood boat, and she was a little surprised when she heard me say this answer casually: "Ah, if it looks like that, it should be considered a long way away! "

……

Life on the airship was as boring as ever.

In the past two days, the airship has been traveling on the extremely thick wind belt of the wind element, which made Qige spend a lot of time in meditation every day. For her, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Last night, she ran into my room wearing a light gauze nightgown, pushed me out of my sleep very brutally, then got into my bed, and told me whimsically that she wanted to buy a luxury airship, From then on, I lived on the airship, looking for this kind of wind belt with thick wind elements in the sky all day long.

I think Qige is a lunatic, when he was preparing magic potions, and now when he is practicing meditation.

……

Three days later, the airship arrived at the airport in Pereira City smoothly.

Walking down from the airport, I found that the huge city of Pereira is now like a machine running at full speed. Countless materials were transported out of Pereira by horse teams. Among the jungle.

At the outermost edge of Pereira City, a wall of giant logs has been erected in a hurry, each log is four to fifty meters high, and those thick giant logs are connected together by iron hoops, forming a row of dozens of The majestic city wall of kilometers, a large number of stones were transported by carts, arrived at the inner side of the wooden wall, unloaded those stones to the foot of the wooden wall, and built an artificial stone slope.

Although this city wall looks ridiculous, it is not the kind of wall made of stones. Bed crossbows, catapults and other ordnance can be placed on the city wall.

I don't know which master architect designed it, but the city wall looks like a huge wooden fence when viewed from the front.Looking from the inside, it is a completely different scene. It looks like a huge football field. The entire central area of ​​the city is completely a football field of tens of square kilometers. Around this depression, a huge Gentle slope-shaped stands.

The height of the entire city wall reaches nearly 50 meters, but the width can be as much as 150 meters. The internal structure of the entire city wall is completely a very gentle earth slope, but this earth slope is piled up with waste ore.

The stones of the piled city wall were continuously transported from the mine outside the city.

These stones are all discarded stones dug out by the way during mining.

Originally, these abandoned stones were piled up next to those mines like a mountain of garbage.

Now all these discarded stones have been requisitioned and used to build walls. It seems that this kind of solid city wall is completely to resist those spider warlords whose bodies are like hills.
A month ago, Pereira City didn't have any defense system at all. It's only been a month, but such a magnificent city wall has been built. It's really amazing!

As the largest material transfer station in the plane of Hierro, what Pereira City lacks most is materials and manpower. At this time, this loose-looking city is fully activated, like a behemoth that has just woken up. Yawning, lazily put the armor on.

……

The airport in Pereira City is also extremely busy. As soon as our airship docked at the edge of the airport, the airport ground staff rushed up quickly and began to overhaul various facilities on the airship. It is said that the next passenger on the airship has already We have been waiting under the tower for a long time, just waiting for our group of people to disembark, and those passengers will board the boat directly.

Various materials are constantly being transported to the airship. In this extraordinary period, the airship requires semi-military management, and the principle of priority transportation of military materials is adopted.

Looking down from the tower, the warehouses around the airport are already filled with various materials, and many materials are piled directly outside the warehouses.

Pereira City is running at high speed in this tense state.

There are still many people stranded in Pereira City. The streets in the city are crowded with people. There are some homeless people lying on the roadside, some wounded soldiers, and some civilians who want to return to the Green Empire. Many civilians live in He couldn't afford a hotel, so he had to find a worn-out fur and just lay on the side of the street, waiting for the opportunity to return to the Green Empire.

We have a letter signed by the Duke of Samoyed, and we went straight to the temporary residence of the Duke of Samoyed on the outskirts of Pereira, where the temporary meeting place of the Royal Academy of Magic is located.
