my age of magic

Chapter 768. 268. The Night Before Returning to the Imperial Capital
Perhaps because of too much free time, the students of the Royal Academy of Magic living in the manor on the outskirts of Pereira City were fortunate enough to participate in the planning of the defense plan of Pereira City, and the owner of Pereira City fully trusted the students of the Royal Academy of Magic The defense system of the large defensive circle of Pereira City designed by them.

The design of this large defensive circle happened to be designed by Noah and other junior students. The core of this plan is to build a ring-shaped city wall nearly a hundred miles long in the city of Pereira, and this city wall can be seen from the outside. , like a huge wooden fence, spliced ​​by four 50-meter-high giant cedar logs.

Perhaps in the eyes of the spider warlord, this kind of city wall is much thinner than those made of bricks and stones. It only takes one charge to break down the city wall. In fact, this kind of city wall is considered the most solid among the many types of city walls at present. From the inside of the city, the city wall looks more like a huge earth slope with a length of [-] meters. The entire earth slope is formed by the accumulation of waste stones from nearby mines.

If the spider warlords dare to rush forward, they will definitely regret why their parents didn't let them grow taller. Let's see what is behind the city wall.

It is such an unbreakable city wall that has allowed the city lord of Pereira to devote all his strength to build the city wall in the past month, and finally built the unique city wall of Pereira style that I see now.

Unexpectedly, this city wall was actually created by Noah and a group of lower grade students.

In fact, at the very beginning of this design plan, the magic academy training group living in Pereira was divided into two factions.

The more radical faction is the senior magic students headed by William. These students advocate the tactical plan of using offense instead of defense. The Nibru Spiderman of Ra City was strangled in the wilderness outside Pereira City.

The more conservative faction was put forward by the lower grade student groups. At that time, they had a bold idea, that is, to build an impenetrable city wall, even if the guards were only a group of slaves, a group of women and children who had never been on the battlefield. , and can also win the battlefield by virtue of the city wall and the defense ordnance.

In fact, the idea of ​​these students is precisely based on the fact that the formation of a Construct Knights requires not only huge sums of money to purchase magic pattern constructs, but also a team of knights whose strength has reached one rank or more. Now that the Grimm Empire has dozens of planes suffering from When the dark forces in the abyss invaded heavily, it happened to be the stage when knights were extremely scarce, and it became extremely difficult to recruit first-rank knights.

On the contrary, Pereira City has a large number of imperial nobles, merchants, and civilians who want to return to the Green Empire. The nobles bring a large amount of slave resources, the merchants bring a large amount of money resources, and the civilians are the largest group of people. , They themselves are a rare labor force, and it is precisely because of the advantages of this resource that the city lord Pereira decided to adopt the second plan proposed by the Royal Academy of Magic training group: build a city wall.

This made the magic students in the lower grades of the Magic Academy completely elated. These top young magicians from various provinces themselves have good knowledge, and most of these magicians are from various provinces. In the early stage of the nobles and wealthy families of local forces, magicians not only rely on their own talents, but also rely on some external resources, use some magic auxiliary items to improve their cultivation speed, and use some ancient family inheritance to improve their own strength. It is necessary to have a larger magical communication platform to broaden one's horizons, which cannot be obtained by magicians from commoner families.

Therefore, in the junior magic academy, there are often some magic apprentices with better family conditions who progress quickly in magic. When they become the best in the academy, they will naturally be recruited by the Royal Academy of Magic.These magic students have been exposed to some city defense issues since they were young, so they were able to gather the strengths of all the families, and at the same time, they came up with a practical plan that conformed to the current situation of Pereira City.

In this way, two factions naturally formed in the training group of the Royal Academy of Magic, the conservative faction of the lower grades and the radical faction of the upper grades, and the conservative faction was appreciated by the city lord Pereira.However, on the college side, it is the radicals who really have the right to speak. The senior magicians headed by William think that their plan has not been adopted. .

The leading teachers in the college thought that this kind of behavior was just a discussion on magic knowledge, a kind of academic collision, so they took a laissez-faire attitude.

……

The young magicians on the lawn who were discussing the offensive and defensive battles turned into birds and beasts under the watchful eyes of William and the senior seniors, and the sand table that they worked so hard to build was trampled into a mess.

I was originally in the crowd, but I was pulled away by Noah and Shirley Newman who were in the crowd. Naturally, they knew that William and I had some personal grievances. At this time, in the manor on the outskirts of Pereira, they decided decisively It is not a good time for me to meet William.

Noah took Shirley Newman and me to the roof of the castle, where you can see the falcons flying in the gray sky, they shuttle between the sea of ​​clouds, like a sharp black arrow from time to time Shoot down and catch the little beast on the ground.Not far away, there was a huge wave in the big lake, and a big black fish jumped out of the water. The huge black shadow was like a [-]-meter-long airship. It stretched its huge body in the air, and then plunged into the lake. inside.

Noah recounted some of the things that happened while I wasn't there, and it seemed like they were having a great day.

Noah held my shoulder and said: "Let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Anyway, William and his group are the losers. Hehe, although our group of winners behaved a little cowardly, it's okay, at least we still We are united, the team leader is pressing us down, they still dare not fight with us, and even if we do, we don’t have to be afraid of him.”

Later, he became curious about some of my experiences, and couldn't wait to ask me: "Jijia, don't just listen to me, tell me about your recent situation! Oh, by the way, I remember that William seemed to be with you at the beginning of the experience. Were they in one group, and then separated later?"

I took off the fishskin hood on the top of my head to make my hair more fluffy, and said: "It's a bit long to say these things, and it starts from the day our team set off..."

Noah's eyes widened. Of course he knew that our team would not be too peaceful, but he didn't expect so many things to happen along the way.

Hearing the bet between Adele and Qige, Noah was also speechless. Who would have thought that the powerful president of the Dragon Club would have some grievances and entanglements with Teacher Qige, but Noah cared more It's the grievance between me and William. Did William find me trouble during the trip?

Noah asked me: "So, your training team was attacked by spider warriors at night because William and his companions slaughtered an indigenous tribe? They brought the disaster back?"

"It's almost like this." I said, probably the William I described in my mouth has completely subverted Noah's cognition.

When I talked about looking for Le Die along the creek, Noah's eyes widened and he asked me, "The person you're talking about is the female dragon knight from the Dragon Society?"

I added on the side: "She shouldn't be regarded as a member of the Dragon Society, after all, she is not a mage!"

"What about William, where is senior William at this time?" Noah seems to have the last bit of expectation for William. After all, they are members of the most powerful group in the academy in the eyes of everyone - the Dragon Society. For the spider warriors, there should also be dragon blood mages who are capable of fighting.

"It should have escaped into the Black Forest, and by chance, he became the so-called hero in the mouths of those college teachers." I rolled my eyes and said helplessly. Noah was also dumbfounded when he heard that, and didn't know what to say What.

At this time, Shirley Newman brought three goblets, and I dug out a bottle of golden cider from my backpack. The three of us leaned against the wall of the roof and toasted together to the statue of the Duke of Samoyed in the yard.

"So that we can meet again."

"For our friendship."

"For the successful conclusion of this training activity."

"cheers!"

……

In these days, although the radicals of the upper grades and the conservatives of the lower grades always have frictions from time to time, the junior students in the college still admire Senior William, the main reason is that William brought a A mixed regiment of cavalry and infantry rescued the academy's logistics regiment in the black forest. In the eyes of these students at the academy, William was no different from a rising hero in the academy.

But speaking now, all these past events were caused by William, and what William showed on the battlefield was not as brave as the rumors said. Noah also clenched his fists tightly and beat an angel on the roof. On the stone carving, he said angrily: "If I knew he was like this, I shouldn't have backed down when there was a dispute."

"Tch, that makes it sound like you can beat someone!" Seeing Noah's indignant look, Shirley Newman quickly poured cold water on him, waking him up from his dizziness. He stretched out his hands to hold Noah's face, and then comforted him in a low voice: "No matter what, no matter how badly he behaves, he is at least a member of the Dragon Society. He has no extraordinary talent and can become a dragon." Are you a member of the society? And there is a big word 'ink' written on the family name, you have to be quiet, I don't like a Noah with a bruised nose and a swollen face!"

"But..." Noah just wanted to retort.

She was interrupted gently by Shirley Newman, and she said: "But for this occasion, Senior Sister Adele will definitely find it herself. She is someone who doesn't even care about Teacher Qige, and He is still the strongest dragon blood mage in our academy."

In fact, what Shirley said was quite reasonable, and at this time, it was inevitable that Noah would suffer a loss if he faced William.

Just like that, the three of us chatted without saying a word on the roof. At this time, two more people came from the corridor on the roof. When they saw me, they waved their hands excitedly.

Hiram strode over, hugged me, and said loudly excitedly: "Hey, Jijia, I finally waited for you to come back. If you don't come back again, our president even wants to take a ride to Tanton City airship to find you."

Josenna appeared beside Hiram, looked me up and down, and asked with a smile on his face, "How is Trum's trip going?"

I nodded to him, then gave him a hug, and said, "It's a little tortuous, but overall it's pretty smooth."

"Have you encountered any spider warriors?" Hiram asked eagerly, putting his arms around my shoulders.

"Of course." I pulled Hiram and Josena, and said to Noah and Shirley: "I will introduce you to two friends. They are also veteran members of our Sword and Rose Society, and they are our beautiful members. Senior Lucia's firm suitors, Hiram and Josena! These two..."

"Hey, while I'm not here, Jijia, what are you planning for me?" A voice as clear as an oriole coming out of the valley came from one side, and an elf beauty wearing a crystal lion leather armor came out from the side door, and her waist Hanging the sword of Hemen Kuisi, a red magical halo enveloped the entire sword.

I didn't expect Lucia to find her. I guess she got the news from Qige. In the college, Qige and I inevitably need to restrain ourselves, so after entering the manor, in order to avoid being in the public eye at the same time Appeared, I jumped out of the carriage early.

But Lucia has no such scruples, after all, we have established a friendship after this experience.

It has to be said that these experiences in the academy can not only hone the actual combat experience of every magician, but also make many magicians who don't know each other become friends. Traveling with friends is easier than traveling alone.

"Lucia, is the journey back to Pereira going well?" I smiled and nodded to Lucia and asked her.

Her azure blue eyes were like clear lake water, with a reserved smile like an elf, but she didn't speak.

Hiram on the side explained: "Don't underestimate us. Although we lack some experience in living in the jungle, we still have certain strength, and we returned along the same road. We not only returned safely, but also Along the way, I met several spider warriors, cut off their heads, and brought back the black magic crystals in their skulls."

A gentle wind blew by us, adding a special flavor to this reunion after the farewell.

In the gray cloud layer in the distance, a big hole suddenly opened, and a beam of light shot down from the cloud layer.

A robust adult dragon rushed out of the clouds, circled several times in the air, and then got into the clouds again.

Lucia was like this, surrounded by everyone's eyes, looking at me quietly with a smile on her face, and the first thing she said was: "Katerina, you are the one who saved me even at the risk of your own life. people?"

I was a little dumbfounded, not knowing why she asked such a sentence, and nodded slightly to her.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Lucia didn't say anything, but turned and left with a faint smile.
