my age of magic

Chapter 885 386. A Gift for Annie

"...If the blade is recast, the magic pattern on the sword body will be destroyed. This level of wear and tear is difficult to repair in any blacksmith shop in the imperial capital." The waiter held the crimson long sword , walked out from the blacksmith shop, and said to Anne apologetically.

He glanced at me and Su uneasily, thought for a while, and said: "Because I have repeatedly sharpened the edge, the magic pattern on this sword is too shallow. With all due respect, if you choose to repair it, it is far better to replace it." new."

The shelves of the blacksmith Puli are full of exquisite long swords. The top layer is the brand new Scarlet Sword. The red sword is engraved with brown dark lines. The waiter took one from the shelf and placed it on the counter.

"I don't want to sell it to you. I put it on here just to prove to you that what I said is true." The waiter said while stroking the long sword lightly.

His fingers brushed over the sword body, and a faint magical halo spread from the sword body.

The waiter said to Annie: "Look, a crimson sword that is intact, the texture of the magic pattern should be like this, like the ivy on the wall, covering the entire body of the sword..."

The smithy waiter placed the two Crimson Swords side by side so that we could clearly see the difference between the two.

Su and I both leaned over. In fact, I think the waiter in this blacksmith shop is very reserved.

In my opinion, whether the magic pattern circle on Anne's crimson sword can still function normally is a big question.

"Actually, Bubu can still be used." Annie reached out and picked up her crimson long sword, and skillfully inserted it into the fish skin scabbard.

"Since it can't be repaired, then forget it." Su stood beside Annie and said in a low voice. "Let's buy a new one! Just treat it as a gift from me before leaving."

Annie said to Su: "At first I wanted to tell you that I have prepared a whetstone, and I know how to make a long sword sharper..."

Su, however, kept staring at Annie's eyes, telling Annie with her eyes how determined she was to buy a new magic sword.

This time it was Annie who made some concessions. Although she was a bit reluctant and stroked the fishskin scabbard of the crimson long sword, she agreed with Su's decision.

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time!"

A smile appeared in Su's eyes, allowing Annie to make a concession, which gave her great satisfaction in her heart.

Glancing at the waiter at the counter, the waiter quickly turned around and took down several styles of magic long swords from the shelf.

The magic long sword held by the waiter is very particular, and there are slight differences in grades from high to low.There are slightly higher-grade elven long swords, and lower-grade heavy swords, craftsman's swords, and knight's swords, and the crimson long sword is just in the middle of these magical long swords.

Annie's eyes fell on those brand new magic swords, and it took a while before she looked back.

She hesitated, probably because she was not sure about the prices in the imperial capital.

"...Actually, you don't need to buy the Crimson Sword. The surface treatment of this sword is very poor, and the blade is easily worn. For a magic sword, it is a bit flashy." Annie said frankly.

The past few years of life have honed Annie into a person who knows how to compromise with life.

The waiter at the blacksmith shop heard a voice, and quickly picked out the epee, knight's sword, and craftsman's sword in front of him one by one. Among the three long swords, the epee looked the most plain and unpretentious. Like a dark iron rod, I reached out and weighed it curiously, and it was very heavy in my hand. This sword is a test of the swordsman's wrist strength.

But Su's gaze didn't stay on the counter, she didn't even bother to take a look.

Meili Xingmou glanced around the shelves a few times and said casually, "Let me think about it, I know that there is a sword that is very suitable for you."

I know very little about Su's life in the imperial capital, and I don't even know if the Sola University scholars give Su a living allowance as an assistant every month.

I enjoy this subsidy at the Academy of Magic, and there are two of them, one from Yerkes Scholars and one from Qige, but the subsidy is paid by the logistics department of the Academy of Magic, so I am familiar with it, but those I will take back what should belong to me.

Annie said to Su: "Why don't we buy that knight's sword..."

The Knight's Sword is a fairly standard magic sword. It has nothing special about it, and of course it doesn't have too many flaws.

For a long time, I have always felt that the 'Knight's Sword' is a very good magic sword, but has anyone around me used it.

Su stretched out his hand to hold up the knight's sword, facing the light from the glass window, he looked at the blade like a spring.

The pure white wide sleeves slid down from the elbows, covering her upper arms like a beautiful flower, revealing her flexible and small wrists.

She asked me, "Giga, what do you think of this sword?"

I thought about it, and then replied: "It's okay. Among the elementary sword magic weapons, I think the elf sword may be better than it, but the price is much higher. In all fairness, the knight's sword Undoubtedly the best value for money.”

Hearing my comments like this, Annie gave me a surprised look. She probably couldn't understand why a magic student like me knew so much about magic swords.

However, the waiter at the blacksmith quickly echoed and said: "The mage is right, if you want to choose the sword of the knight, we still have a few top-quality swords here, you can choose as you like. "

Su casually put down the knight's sword in her hand, her eyes did not stay on any magic sword, suddenly, she seemed to think of something, but asked me with some uncertainty: "Ji Jia, the one used by Helena What's the name of that sword, you must know it, don't you?"

This time I didn't even think about it, so I blurted out: "Of course, Storm Sword!"

I have just returned from Xinliu Valley, and it has been less than a day since I was separated from Yingli. I clearly remember the moment when Helena threw herself into my arms, and the hilts of the two storm swords slammed into my lower abdomen. , made me sweat.

Su glanced at me with a smile, didn't say much, raised his fair chin, and stared at the waiter at the blacksmith's counter.

The waiter's eyes lit up, he cheered up immediately, and replied: "Of course, our blacksmith shop not only has the Sword of Storm, but also the Sword of Soul, Scimitar, Kalipus Sword, Seruki Long Swords and other magic swords that are most popular at the moment, please wait a moment, the value of these weapons is usually stored in the vault, I will go get them right away."

I waved my hand to the waiter, thinking that Annie should have just made a breakthrough, and those high-end goods, even if I bought them back, I couldn't control them completely, so I said briefly: "You only need to take the Storm Sword, and the rest , we won’t be able to use it for now.”

Su gave me a puzzled look.

Seeing Annie secretly heaving a sigh of relief, she thought: This sword is probably the bottom line she can bear.If Su really chose a more advanced magic weapon at this time, such as the Soul Sword or the Calipus Sword, the two sisters would still have some disputes.

But in my heart, I prefer the Seruki long sword.

Not long after, two shop assistants in the blacksmith's shop lifted out a long and heavy iron box. There was a magic seal on the iron box. When ordinary high-end weapons were stored, they would do some magic-sealing treatment.

The waiter emptied the other long swords on the counter, ordered the store clerk to put the long iron box on the counter, and then carefully peeled off the magic seal on the iron box, and suddenly a faint scent of mine element diffused from the iron box.

When the lid of the box was fully opened, an exquisite long sword lay flat on the bottom of the box, and the obsidian-colored sword had a gleam of thunder elemental light from time to time.

This Storm Sword is obviously more sophisticated than the Crimson Sword. There is a clear boundary between the magic circle and the blade of the long sword, which ensures that the magic pattern on the blade is not damaged when polishing the edge.

Annie's eyes became very bright. She held her breath, stretched out her hand to gently hold the hilt of the sword, and took the Storm Sword out of the box. Immediately, a surge of thunder and lightning power filled the entire blade.

"During the battle, when the energy of the Storm Sword is fully charged, it will release arc burn damage on the blade. If you are lucky, it will even trigger the 'paralyzing' effect of lightning." The waiter said.

He introduced this storm sword to us like a treasure, and he seems to be very familiar with the attributes of this sword: "If a magic crystal of wind attribute is inlaid in the groove, this sword will have the effect of 'lightness'..."

At this moment, Su's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he was also very satisfied with this Storm Sword.

Before I could inquire about the price, Su directly found a note on the counter, signed his name on it, handed it to the waiter, and said to the waiter without even asking for the price: " Please send me the bill to the Campbell Nursing Home, this is my name, do you need to leave any other documents?"

"Of course it's not necessary, my lord priest." The waiter took the note Su handed over, and his expression immediately became more respectful.

Walking out of the blacksmith shop, Annie still hadn't realized why Su enjoyed such aristocratic signing privileges.

Ordinarily, the treatment should only be enjoyed by famous local nobles, and should not appear on young girls like Su who have no background at all.

The more this is the case, the more it can reflect the importance of Su to the Campbell Sanatorium.

Looking up and seeing the sun slanting towards the west, I whispered softly in my heart: "Campbell Nursing Home!"

……

Seeing Sue and Annie walking ahead gave me a bit of a headache.

They are Sister Guoguo's younger sisters, and I promised Guoguo to take good care of them, but under the call of His Majesty Charles, Annie went to participate in the war of planes with the Constructed Knights of Strange Rock City.

I am troubled by how to persuade Annie to accept my 'gift'.

I hope this gift of mine can save her from danger on the battlefield. Looking at the backs of the two girls, I gave Katerina a headache, scratched my hair in distress, and quickly chased after her.

"Our college just finished a plane training trip last month. I happened to be participating in this training activity. The training activity chose the Ye Luo plane of the Duke of Samoyed. The process was quite dangerous..." I told Su Tell Annie about my experience trip last month.

When talking about some thrilling scenes, even though the matter had already passed, Su still showed a panicked expression.

Finally, I said to Anne: "So, sister Anne, what you are going to face in this plane war is not the aborigines on the plane, but the dark forces from the abyss. Ordinary fighters also have at least one level of strength, and they also have a large number of followers and servants, with countless cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at any time, this battle will be very dangerous."

She tilted her head, put one hand on her chest, and rested her chin on the other hand, looking at me quietly, just smiling, but she didn't say a word, and didn't answer my topic.

Annie is a sensitive and self-respecting woman. Perhaps it is the difficult life of these years that has made her unaccustomed to accepting help from others.

So I'm going to find a reason she can't refuse.

I tentatively asked her: "Since Su gave you a gift and you have already accepted it, then you shouldn't refuse me, right?"

With a quiet smile, she shook her head resolutely.

Su was by Annie's side, secretly showing me a helpless expression, and then beckoned me to come on.

I thought to myself: Could it be that my thoughts are really so obvious?

Regardless of this, when I saw that Annie was about to open the door to completely seal the door, I immediately waved to her and said, "Don't refuse in a hurry, my gift will be very meaningful, and it will be very meaningful in the blacksmith shop like Su. The ones you buy here are different, the gift I want to give you is made by myself..."

Annie looked at me suspiciously, closed her lips that had just opened, and swallowed back the words that came out of her mouth.

I stopped in front of a magic caravan on the side of the road and asked the driver if he would give us a ride. Seeing that he gave an invitation gesture in the car, I pushed open the door of the caravan and invited Anne and Sue to board the magic caravan. caravan.

I said to them: "Please get in the car, I will take you somewhere!"

Su couldn't help being curious, and asked me, "Hey, Jijia, where are you taking us?"

……

"Is this the famous Tower of Pride in the imperial capital?"

Standing on the marble corridor in the square of the Tower of Pride, looking up at the majestic building in front of her, Annie said with a sigh.

I said to Anne, "That's right, besides taking classes at the Royal Academy of Magic, I also work as an assistant at the Academy of Magic in the Tower of Pride!"

Su followed behind me with a smile, and asked me, "Are you going to take me to the Academy of Magic?"

I glanced at Annie and saw that she didn't have any resistance, so I said, "That's right. I'll take you to the place where I usually work, and put the temporary gifts for Annie there!"

It seems that Anne is just unwilling to accept the expensive gifts bought in the store, and is quite interested in the gifts I made by myself.

This may be the shadow left in my heart at the Orianna Magic Store in El City. After all, at that time, I took out thirty magic crystals and bought the magic prosthesis made of cyanopsis. The high price made Annie almost collapse.

At this time, it was Su who asked impatiently, "Can you tell us what it is?"

I replied readily, "Of course, in fact, that's just a magic pattern drawn by myself, you know I'm good at drawing that..."

These words of mine are true, but I didn't tell Su and Annie that the magic pattern was actually drawn on a set of leather armor—the magic pattern structure.
