my age of magic

Chapter 777. 277. Magic Comes into Life
On summer nights in the imperial capital, there are always a few days when the two rounds of jade hooks cannot be seen in the sky, and the bright stars are twinkling in the night sky.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the yard, it was completely dark. I jumped out of the carriage, walked across the lawn in the yard in three steps, came to the door of the house, knocked on the glass window of the door, and prepared to Katerina cried out after going to bed.

She pushed open the door, looked at me in surprise, and asked me in a low voice, "Jijia, why are you here at this time?"

As I said that, Katerina took my arm and walked into the room. She was wearing cool lingerie and short-leg pajamas. Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and her creamy skin was as smooth as ivory in the dark.

I lowered my voice and whispered a few words in her ear, she looked at me in surprise, and said again: "Really?"

She followed me to the shelf behind the magic caravan, looked at the huge magic-sealing box, puffed up her cheeks and blew air outwards, and she clearly asked silently: How big is such a big magic-sealing box? Giga, can you lift it?
In fact, I am not as weak as I look. Although I have some difficulty, I can still lift this magic sealing box.

With the help of Katerina, I unloaded this huge magic sealing box from the shelf behind the magic caravan, and a trace of icy breath flowed out from the gap of the magic sealing box, falling down like a waterfall. Before the ice mist hit the ground, it disappeared without a trace in the air.

Little Ella was wearing white cotton pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes and standing by the door, holding a copper candlestick in her hand, which stretched her shadow on the wall for a long time. She looked at it curiously. With a huge magic sealing box in his mouth, he asked me with a strong nasal voice: "Jijia, what's in the box?"

Katerina and I dragged the magic sealing box into the house together, and the magic sealing box left a deep mark on the lawn.

Taking advantage of my breathlessness, I stretched out my hand and scratched little Ella's little nose. She looks like a cute doll under Katerina's dress recently.

The orc female warrior Kalancuo knows how to fight and how to manage the village, but she is not very good at taking care of her daughter.

The physical characteristics shown by the hybrid of human and orc are closer to human, but in her wild eyes, sharp small canine teeth and thick curly hair, there seems to be a little trace of orc.

I said to little Ella: "It contains a sealed elemental spirit!"

A small finger touched the ice mist flowing from the crack of the magic sealing box.

"Oh, it's so cold!" Unprepared, Ella screamed from the freezing air.

Pulling the magic sealing box into the basement of the house, holding the time breaker hammer, I tried to open the portal in the middle of the basement.

The last time I shipped magic herbs to Qige's laboratory, the power of lightning in my body was running out. Now, just a few days later, I have only controlled the number of times I meditate, and I don't want to let myself After advancing so quickly, the power of thunder and lightning has not been replenished, and the electric arcs in the body are like arcs along the arms, converging into the warhammer.

It's a pity that before the war hammer was completely lit, the magic circles on the war hammer could not be lit because the lightning power in his body was exhausted.

The scene in the basement was a bit embarrassing. Two beauties, one big and one small, were expecting me to open a portal for them. Unfortunately, I failed after several attempts. I sat down next to the magic sealing box.

It was for this reason that I didn't ask the orc warriors from Xinliu Valley to help carry this heavy magic sealing box, but I didn't expect it to be impossible.

Originally, I planned to hide Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley. There is no place safer than there. Unfortunately, the power of thunder and lightning in my body was exhausted, so I could only temporarily seal this one. The magic box is in the basement.

So I set up four ice walls on the four walls of the entire basement, turning the basement into an ice room, and then took out a large bundle of 'Frost Scrolls' from the magic pocket and placed them at the door of the basement, letting Katerina You must open a 'Frost Scroll' in the basement. (Fire Scroll and Frost Scroll, these two scrolls are the two low-level scrolls that I have mastered so far that don't require the key of spells, and can activate the magic circle inside just by slowly unfolding the scroll.)
Then, I pulled Katerina, who was shivering with cold, out of the basement passage.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, little Ella was completely sleepy at this time. She lit the candles on the chandelier on the ceiling in the living room one by one. The soft candle light instantly filled the whole room. She hugged my arm and asked curiously. Me: "Is this box the treasure you have stored with us?"

"That's it!" said to my little Ella.

Katerina came out of the kitchen with a tea tray, knelt down on the soft carpet, and carefully placed the tea tray on the small table in front of the sofa, her gaze was as gentle as water.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Katerina raised the corners of her mouth slightly, that smile resembled that of Qige.

Maybe the two have been together for too long, and Katerina is infected by Qige's unrestrained personality, so she will inadvertently show Qige's smile.

When Katerina asked, I remembered that I had been so busy all day long that I even forgot to eat dinner.And more importantly, I also released Noah's pigeons. I had an appointment with Noah to have dinner together. I hope he won't wait too long in the library, looking at the dark sky outside the window, If you rush back now, it's obviously too late!
I don't know how Noah will complain to Shirley, but I can't care so much now.

……

In the Grimm Empire, the fire-focusing scroll seems to have entered thousands of households.

The cheap fire-gathering scrolls currently sold in the imperial capital market are not the same as the scrolls that Qige and I made in the wasteland. , it will extinguish the flame, but no matter the size of the magic sheepskin or the complexity of the magic pattern, it is far more than the kind of fire-gathering scroll I drew. Invisibly, it will increase the production cost by a large margin .

Skillfully unfolding the fire-gathering scroll and placing it under the stove, red flames sprang out from it. Katerina skillfully adjusted the windshield of the stove to make the flames in the stove smaller, and skillfully put a flat-bottomed The pan was on the stove and a piece of butter was cut and put into the pan.

Later, Katerina found another piece of marinated beef eye meat in the closet, and quickly threw it into the pot. The moment the beef flew into the hot pot, it made a "sizzling" sound, and the fat was frying. The smell of beef filled the room at once.

Little Ella smelled the aroma of steak and immediately protested: "Hey, Katerina, this is our breakfast tomorrow morning!"

Katerina turned around and quickly peeled green peas on the kitchen counter, looked at me with a smile, and then said to little Ella: "It's okay, I can make an extra wheat cake tomorrow morning!"

Little Ella looked a little innocent, and she begged me: "Here, Ji Jia, you must leave me at least one piece of steak, I know, Caterina's steak is delicious, but I want to My good friend Marianne from school is boasting that I will bring her the best cold steak tomorrow."

"No problem!" I promised little Ella.

Little Ella's eyes were bent into crescents.

The life in the imperial capital unknowingly changed little Ella's outlook on life. The former little Ella would never have so many new ideas. I'm so happy, and now she still doesn't mind me eating her steak, but at least she wants to protest to Katerina, and then ask me to save a piece for her friend.

She started to have her own life, which is exactly what I want to see.

I hope little Ella can integrate into the city life of the empire, maybe in the future when she grows up, let her choose whether she wants to live in the city or in the orc village.

The kitchen of this house does not look too big, but a lot of careful thought has been spent on the decoration and design of each place.

A mithril-plated rune metal plate is inlaid on the wall tile above the sink. This is a rune plate engraved with the magic circle of the water-gathering spell. Above the gemstone groove in the middle, there is a small piece of it The magic crystal fragments are connected to a copper faucet at the center of the magic circle. When the faucet is turned, the small magic crystal fragments will fall into the groove, and then clear water will flow out of the faucet.

Life-like magic appliances have gradually entered thousands of households. Originally, these facilities were prepared by magicians for the nobles. Now, due to the continuous decline in costs and the simplification of the magic pattern structure, the price has finally dropped to an expected value. , but even so, ordinary civilian families still cannot afford such high consumption.

Looking at the gemstone groove on the rune metal plate on the sink, I seemed to have captured something in my heart. I took out the two magic books in my pocket and took the mysterious scroll between the pages. He pulled it out, then turned it over in his hand and observed it carefully.

Little Ella was wearing pajamas, standing barefoot on the floor, looked over curiously, and then asked me curiously: "Jijia, is this a different metal rune board? Why is there a gemstone in the middle?" Groove?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought: Isn't it just a scroll like a rune metal plate?

It's just that what we usually see most often is to coat a thin layer of magic metal on an ordinary metal plate, and then use a carving knife to carve a magic pattern on the magic metal. The magic pattern carved on this magic metal has a maximum The biggest flaw is that the magic lines cannot contain mana, that is, this kind of magic pattern circle needs a source of mana, which can continuously provide mana for the metal plate, so that the magic pattern circle on the metal plate will work normally.

The biggest difference between the magic scroll and the rune metal plate is that the magic scroll is a one-time use item, and the biggest drawback of the magic scroll is that the success rate of drawing has always been very low. Once a certain drawing fails, the entire magic leather Full reimbursement.

The magic scroll is light and easy to carry, and the cost of Warcraft leather and magic ink is much lower than that of the rune metal plate.

The rune metal plate is different. Although its drawing success rate is also very low, if the drawing process fails, you can take the rune metal plate back to the blacksmith shop, refine and wash off the upper layer of magic metal, and then A new layer of magic metal can still become a brand new rune metal plate, and the rune metal plate needs magic crystals to maintain the normal operation of the magic pattern circle.

And the mysterious scroll in my hand is a completely nondescript item, it looks like a fusion of rune metal plates and magic scrolls, so there is no benefit at all, obviously this kind of thing will only be an old antique with a certain age Well, the current mages don't match it like this, making gemstone grooves on the leather, which can only be seen on the magic pattern structure.

Katerina had already put the fried steak on the dining table, and under the light of the candle, the faint traces of burnt could not help but whet the appetite, and then she put a spoonful of boiled peas in salt water on the plate. I don't feel hungry, but when I saw these delicious foods, my stomach began to protest constantly, and the 'cuckoo' sounded non-stop.

I put down the mysterious scroll, sat at the dining table and began to enjoy the food that Katerina cooked for me.

Little Ella was sitting beside me obediently, she was playing with the mysterious scroll curiously, she picked up the mysterious scroll in a dignified way, made a detailed comparison with the metal plate of the water gathering rune on the pool, and placed it Acting like a curious baby, he asked me: "Ji Jia, look at this gemstone groove, it is so special, it is much bigger than all the gemstone grooves I have seen, um, it is bigger than those gemstones on the axle of the magic caravan. The groove is even bigger!"

Little Ella's words were like enlightenment, which opened a skylight to the world in front of me.

I reached out and took the mysterious scroll, and carefully saw that the gem inlaid groove in the center of it turned out to be a slotted gem base. This slotted gem base looks about the same size as those embedded gem bases, but It is however able to hold some larger gems.

The magic crystal I put in the groove of the gem before is just an ordinary magic crystal. As long as it is placed in the groove, the magic crystal will immediately fall apart. It is obvious that the magic power of this magic crystal is not enough to activate the magic pattern on the mysterious scroll. Therefore, I continued to increase the chips tentatively and repeatedly filled the magic crystals, but those magic crystals were embedded in it, and they seemed to disappear into the sea, so that I had lost confidence in this mysterious scroll.

But now it seems that the reason why I have been unsuccessful is mostly because the quality of the magic spar I took out is not enough. After peeling off the magic core, the ordinary magic spar is almost the size of a walnut.Thinking of this, I reached out from my magic pouch and took out a black magic crystal the size of a fist taken out of the skull of a spider warlord, and looked at the mysterious scroll on the table with some uncertainty in my eyes...
