my age of magic

Chapter 1 1. New Life

The caravan walked eastward along the New Siakis Mountains for 17 months. Looking eastward, the rolling black mountains could no longer be seen in the distance.

According to Leipas, our caravan will completely leave the territory of the Dwarf Kingdom and enter the Pai Plateau after we climb over that mountain. It will become useless, no different from ordinary magic parchment.

I heard that there are thousands of orc tribes, large and small, here. These ancient tribes have inherited the power of their ancestors. These days, the jokes in the caravan have obviously decreased a lot. It can be seen that everyone is a little worried about what is waiting for us ahead. The orc tribes and those gray dwarf bandits.

Thousands of kilograms of refined iron ingots are dragged on each Thunder Rhino's huge body like a hill. A driver sits on the soft seat at the back of Thunder Rhino's head, and two assistants sit on the top of the back, responsible for managing the The huge cargo on the rhinoceros, as well as the simple lookout and vigilance.

These are the properties that Leipas is in charge of, and the huge caravan composed of seventy thunder rhinos stretches for two kilometers.

The dwarves in the tribe are naturally excellent blacksmiths, but the armor and weapon styles they make are very different from human preferences. Due to the natural brute force of the dwarves, those thick armor and exquisite shields that are as huge as the door panels are rare in the human race. Not terribly sought after here, they're too heavy, so good metal is the hard currency.

At the front of the caravan, there are more than 20 of the most cold-resistant Bleiku horses leading the way. They are two groups of adventurers. Among them are warriors, sword masters, archers and mysterious magicians. They followed us across the New Siakis Mountains. .

I heard that they hunted and killed monsters in the forest of monsters on the edge of the mountains, obtained some magic materials and transported them back to the human world for sale.In short, Kurz told me secretly that they are a group of dangerous people, so don't mess with them.

They enjoyed the transport capacity of the caravan, and Leipas promised to transport some of their goods to the imperial capital for free, and these adventure groups were responsible for guarding the safety of the entire caravan.

There are 13 huge black iron carriages behind the Thunder Rhino cargo team. Each carriage is like a small house. The axles of these well-crafted carriages are engraved with complex wind magic circles. It needs to be carried by four bison with bull blood.Each of these bison can easily pull five thousand catties of cargo.

Don't think that there are some big nobles in the car, on the contrary, it is just a song and dance troupe from the capital of the human Grimm Empire. It was invited by the dwarf king to the dwarf king's capital to participate in the commemorative celebration three years ago. This is after participating in the celebration. on the way back.

In a huge singing and dancing troupe with more than 300 people, there are 180 dancers alone, and the rest include cooks, tailors, musicians, waiters, magic artists, etc. I heard that such a singing and dancing troupe is not the largest in the capital of Greenland The song and dance troupe, my God!I never thought that anyone would spend 5.6 years on the road just to see a national celebration.

Later, after listening to Leipas, I found out that there is also a means of transportation called a magic spaceship. Leipas described it as more like an airship, but it is just a huge ship that can carry hundreds of people. big guy.

A route has been established from Stan City to Green Imperial City long ago, but this time the dance troupe traveled eastward along the New Siakis Mountains by land, to the Pai Plateau to collect wind, and to learn the sacrificial war dance of the orc tribe.Perhaps some tribes close to humans will communicate with them.

In September, the warm monsoon brought by the endless sea brought a lot of rain, which filled the land of the dwarves on the west side of the Roland continent with vitality, the ice and snow melted, and everything grew.

The warm wind was like a mother's hand brushing over my cheeks. I excitedly took off the sheepskin coat that smelled like salted fish after I had been wearing it all winter, and jumped off the 7-meter-high thunderbolt like Kurz. The back of the rhinoceros rolled a few somersaults in the green grass as green as oil, and jumped into the lake like a silver carp.

The clear lake water envelops my body, and after diving a few meters in the lake water with the power of a diving leap, I push my body further by moving the lake water alternately with both hands.

The hot body is immersed in the cold lake water, and every cell in the body is greedily absorbing water.After exhaling my last breath, I finally got out of the water.There was a piece of ice floe the size of a round table a few meters away from me. Kuz, who was holding on to the edge of the floe, jumped up suddenly, sat on the floe with his whole body wet, and grinned silly at me.

And waved to me, and shouted in the not-so-fluent Imperial language: "Jijia, climb up quickly, this piece of ice is very interesting!"

Seeing the ice floes in the lake, you know how cold the icy lake is in early spring.

I couldn't help admiring this boy from the orc tribe for his strength, which made me only envious.And I dared to jump into this lake with floating ice because of the fire poison contained in my blood, which is constantly burning my body every day, and I can even clearly feel the hot fire burning my body. The flesh and blood carbonized quickly, but at the same time there was a marvelous regenerative power in the blood to repair the whole body, carbonized and regenerated continuously. At the beginning, I didn't even think I was a human being, but a piece of fried meat with thoughts.

Only soaking in such icy lake water will make my body feel a little bit icy.

I think I must have eaten too much barbecue and skewers in my previous life, and I have to suffer from this in this life, and it tortures me every moment of every day, making me suffer such pain.

Fire poison is devouring every cell in my body all the time, turning them into ashes and flowing out of the body along with the sweat. After every cell in my body collapses, I don’t know why it splits into new ones in an instant. Sometimes I guess , maybe I have orc werewolf blood?
The only pharmacist in the team is an old old orc. Old Kuru always brags to me how strong he was when he was young. Kuz's kid is less than one-tenth of him, and now his shriveled body I don't have much strength anymore, and sometimes I don't even bother to take the medicine jar, and always call me back and forth.

Well, that's right!I am the smallest handyman in the entire caravan, I can do anything, run errands, send messages, clean up horse manure, wash leather shoes, boil hot water, dig wild vegetables, as long as I can move, and those people can think of it, I must do it , if I still want to get half a loaf of black bread every night.

I remember that old Kuru told me that I was picked up by him on the edge of the Burned Mountain Range, far west of the dwarf king's capital.

He guessed that I ate too much and burned the fruit on the fruit tree, so I even had a strong fire element in my blood. At that time, I was burned unconscious. No human, orc, or dwarf ever survived eating a burnt fruit.

This kind of fruit is also called the fruit of purification, and it is eaten by the dead. After the dying person dies after eating the burnt fruit, the whole body will be reduced to ashes. Extinguish the spiritual fire of the soul, purify the soul, and ascend to the kingdom of God.

I firmly believe what the old Kuru said, because I entered this body after the soul of the original host was purified.However, I don't know if the soul of the original host has ascended to the kingdom of God. I think it is more likely to be wiped out.

Until now, I can still clearly remember that before I fell into a coma, I used to be a chef in a big hotel. An invisible big hand pulled my soul out of that body. I saw the unwillingness on my frightened, angry and pale face. I even felt that my original body was gradually cooling down. I thought I was dead.

Unexpectedly, after waking up, I found that I became a 5-year-old child covered in fire. Every inch of skin, flesh, and bones on my body creaked in the heat, like a piece of fried beef. In the process of passing out and waking up from the coma, an old orc put his withered arm on top of my head, cut the wrist with a small black machete, and black and purple blood flowed out of me. All over, most were poured into my mouth.

Miraculously, I survived.That old orc is Kuru. The old Kuru said that I might be a child of a traveler in a tour group. Before he died, he swallowed the burnt fruit according to the tradition and waited for the body to turn into ashes, and the soul ascended to heaven, but he just ate it After eating the burnt fruit, the power of the fire element aroused the power of the family blood in my body, and my blood was awakened, and I had a real name: Lanyan.

Although the power of the flame that burns the fruit makes me miserable, it is not enough to burn me to death.

As for why the soul has not been purified by the fire of the heart, maybe the burnt fruit has not fully matured yet.

My name is Jijia Lanyan.If there is a real name awakening in the future, it will be superimposed once again.

The power of my real name bloodline is still very weak after awakening, and I can't resist the flame power of Burning Fruit at all. It was the old Kuru who saved me with his orc blood, which has the powerful recovery and regeneration ability of the orc wolf. At that time, Kuru found that I had awakened the power of my blood, so he saved me with the purpose of giving it a try.

He told me indifferently that I was just lucky, a child favored by the Beast God King, otherwise I would not have survived, and I also absorbed the self-healing ability of regeneration and recovery in his blood.It's just that the feeling of being burned every day is really worse than death.

During that time, if I had the ability to kill myself, I would definitely kill myself without hesitation, because I think hell is nothing more than that.I lay on Lei Tingxi's back for more than 4 months. Every day, the old Kuru would find various herbal juices and pour them into my body.

In those days, the power of my bloodline added another name "self-healing", which almost shocked the old Kuru's jaw. You must know that this ability is almost the dream of all orc and wolf warriors. A werewolf who has awakened the ability of "self-healing" can be regarded as a real warrior of the orc wolf clan.

After the body was destroyed and regenerated, repeated hundreds of times and thousands of times, my weak body gradually became able to withstand the burning of those flames, which shows that I was born with fire resistance, and gradually the scorching pain slowly I found that there is always a fire in my abdomen, these fires will flow along my blood to the whole body, destroying my body continuously, and those exuberant flames will radiate from my limbs and bones.

In the nearly two years since I came to this magical world, Leipas would take time to teach me some Imperial language every day, but the progress was not fast.

Old Kuru would even sometimes tell Leipas that I should actually be a human-looking orc child, because my orc language is more fluent.According to the age of human beings in this world, I am only 7 years old.

I gradually began to integrate into this caravan.

Leipas can be regarded as the leader of our caravan. In fact, he is also the chief steward of the United Chamber of Commerce. His creed is that he will never support idlers. Everyone in the caravan must reflect his own value. I The same is true, there will never be any preferential treatment just because I am a child.

A group of thunder rhinos were drinking water gathered by the lake. The drivers drove the docile thunder rhinos to the grass by the lake in an orderly manner, and ordered the rhinos to get down one by one and unload the heavy cargo. , stacked neatly on one side.The thunder rhinos will be arranged to drink water first, and then the best shepherds will drive them to the pasture to graze.

I think these meaty long-tailed rhinos are more like the stegosaurus among the dinosaurs in my original world.At this time, Fred, the deputy riding Thunder Rhino, shouted to me: "Giga, don't play anymore, be careful of the whip of Master Leipas, and quickly clean these leather saddles, and let them dry when the weather is good."

I quickly waved my hand in the lake, stuck my head out of the water and said, "Got it, Fred."

It used to be his job, and sometimes he let me do it.

Kurz sat on the ice floe and gave Fred a hard look, and whispered to me in the orc language: "Fred must be going to fool around with his little dancer again, Ji Jia, don't help me!" he."

"It's okay, and it's not too strenuous. Isn't there a saying in orc slang: a loss is a blessing?" Will get Fred's broth.

This icy lake is still a little too cold. After soaking in this lake for a short while, my body felt a little chilly.Might as well go ashore and wash the saddles.

Glancing at the big guy who could almost crush me into a meatloaf with one kick, I sighed secretly, and swam to the shore with all my strength, and my work began.
