my age of magic

Chapter 11 11. The night of camping in the wild (Part [-])
When the last batch of magic antelopes arrived at the grassy slope, it was already night and the sky was full of stars.

The starry sky on the prairie is far more expansive than the starry sky of the New Siakis Mountains. I once looked up at the starry sky and wanted to find the Milky Way in my memory. Maybe in a corner under this starry sky, there is a small star It is called the sun, and in the future it may say to its children: Look, that is the hometown of Dad.But as far as I looked, I didn't find any feeling of deja vu.

Everyone is very tired, dragging their tired bodies to distribute each antelope. The two adventure groups are still distributing the spoils in an orderly manner. This system is completed in silence. I can see the joy on the faces of the young members. Holding the parchment roll, he shook his sore arm again, and the magic knife and pen became heavier and heavier.

I know I'm tired, I'm too tired to hold the pen.

I saw Kurz and Uncle Ann driving the ox cart to bring the water back from afar. This is the No.17 time this afternoon. I expressed encouragement to Kurz and shook my fist. He showed his white teeth, two The canine teeth are very shiny in the night. I don’t think even if I use black toothpaste, I can’t make the tooth so bright. I haven’t brushed my teeth in this life, and I haven’t seen any teeth broken.

It seems that staying away from sweets is far more important than protecting teeth.

Tear off a piece of tough parchment, and simply draw a star on it, and stick it directly on the head of the magic antelope with spiral horns, indicating that this sheep belongs to the Starry Mercenary Group, and the one is boiled into the pot The golem hide also has a little bit of subtle marking.

Uncle Fred, who was hanging blood and sheep oil on the sheepskin with a knife, raised his head to look at the sky, and wiped his face vigorously with his oily sleeve. The leather was scraped clean. This is the first time There are 37 magic antelope skins, but there are still magic antelopes as high as hills waiting to be skinned on the grassland.

I don't know who shouted: "The leader is back!"

"Ah, the group leader is back. It seems that this is the last batch of demon antelopes brought back. Today's harvest is really good." The warriors of the adventure group who first escorted the demon antelopes back squatted aside to watch the leathermakers skillfully skin them. At this time, seeing the members of the adventure group returning, they also stood up and greeted them.

"It's too late, why haven't we arranged for a fire to cook? Let the leather makers in the caravan take a rest first. These magic antelopes still need to be skinned overnight, and they will lose some magic power if they are late. We can't afford to lose it!" If you continue to work like this, you will be exhausted before the skin is fully peeled, hey, I didn’t expect to meet such a large flock of sheep, and the manpower is not enough!” Walking up was a soldier with an iris shield on his back. , The strong and powerful body is covered by a layer of dark iron armor. When walking, the sharp friction between the iron armor makes the roots of the teeth sore. He shook his head and talked to the strong woman behind him who was full of explosive power.

This is the head of the Starry Adventures Group, an officially registered warrior.

There are only two warriors officially registered in the Starry Adventure Group. The other is a woman with a spear on her back and an exceptionally fit figure. The strange eyes exude wild light, the slender ponytail hangs from the back of the head to the buttocks, and the tight leather jacket makes the overly bumpy body exude the charm of the devil.Kurtz told me he felt the woman was more dangerous.

With the appearance of the head of the Starry Adventure Group, the soldiers returning from hunting began to appear in front of my eyes one after another. Tia carried a bow and arrow on his back, and carried his leather armor and long sword in his shirtless hand, exhausted like death Like a dog, he lay directly on the bullock cart under my feet, looked at me pitifully like a poor puppy and said, "Can Mr. Jia give Xiaosheng a piece of life-saving maltose?"

The scoundrel will always try to rub as much of my oatmeal fudge as possible at the right time and for the right reasons.

Tia always called the wrong name of candy, and I didn't make a few of this thing, because Kurz didn't like it at all.

Kurz is not interested in any sweets, even if he brought me honey, it was only because old Kuru said that it was a great tonic, and it could make my wounds heal as soon as possible.

The name of the so-called oatmeal toffee was also invented by me. I just wrapped fried crispy oatmeal into honey and cream, and formed rice ball-like things, wrapped in a kind of vanilla leaves. This thing is extremely hot. High, it is an excellent food for supplementing physical strength.

I was bored some time ago. I occupied the clay oven of the old Kuru and boiled all kinds of things similar to my previous memories. I tried hard to find the sense of existence. At that time, I seemed to be a little dazed and kept thinking about it All kinds of things that could be made, and then tried to make them one by one, and the oat milk candy was the product of that time.

I rolled my eyes, and snorted softly in my nose, I must not have a good face towards this scumbag, this guy is just a slutty snake crawling along.Kuz also unloaded the water truck at this time, turned to look at me and said, "Ji Jia, don't give him sugar!"

There aren't many things Kurtz can't get mad at, and Tia just happens to do a stupid and boring one.

One day, this kid took Kuz to the camp of the dance troupe and peeked at the woman taking a shower. Then I asked Tia outside the bathroom that was simply surrounded by cowhide, and Tia disappeared before the conversation was over, and then Kurtz was completely sad.

At that time, Kurtz's butt was directly cracked by the iron whip, and he lay on the bed with me for two full weeks. The taste almost drives me crazy, and Kurtz is even more crazy than me.

Kurz was also terribly tired at this time, the leather jacket was already wrapped around the waist of his trousers, and the muscular upper body of the wolf orcs made them all look like American bodybuilders, and their arms were longer, which looked very aesthetic.

The sweat all over his body mixed with the dirty blood on the animal skin made the thick chest hair stick together. Kurz walked to me to find an open space, did thirteen basic stretching movements in a row, and then said to me: " My grandfather said that the best time to breed the original force is after exhaustion of physical strength. At this time, you need to stretch your muscles and bones, so that your body's strength will be more balanced."

I know this, Kurtz said this to Tia, I didn't expect Kurtz's heart to be so delicate.

I kicked Tia directly with my little foot, took out a piece of oatmeal toffee from my pocket and threw it on Tia, and said, "Tia, take Kuz to the small lake to wash, you and He is completely dirty. You will have dinner soon, can you still eat like this?"

"Why can't I eat it? Isn't all the brothers who hunt outside like this, but you are the most cleanliness..."

I quickly picked up the oatmeal toffee that was thrown on him, ran away quickly and continued to ask: "Do you want to eat, do you want to eat?"

Tia has a special preference for sugar, and he can't resist the temptation of oatmeal toffee. Of course, if he is willing to use force, he can easily snatch the sugar from my hand with just a stretch of his hand. After all, I am only over 5 years old, and He is more than ten years old.

He can even hold my forehead with one finger to stop me from moving forward, or grab the collar of my fur coat and lift me up easily.

But he is a well-educated knight, he has his creed, he will never bully the weak, and he can even treat us equally.

Tia never had any compassion for us, but he was sincere.

Although I am young, my psychological maturity is far beyond that of ordinary people. Although I don't dare to show it, I usually show a little desire to pursue equal treatment in my behavior and actions.

So Tia fits my temper best, and we're more relaxed when we joke around.

Tia got up from the carriage with a little exhaustion, put his arms around Kurtz's shoulders and sucked in the cold air, "hissing", while shaking his sore arms, he said to me: "Eat, eat, eat, you have to keep it for me. I'm going to take a bath with Master Zi now."

Taking a cold shower at this time will also promote blood circulation throughout the body, which is good for them.The Orcs' view of strength is simple: the source of strength grows only after the limit of movement.

Although I was chatting, the pen in my hand was not idle, and I still recorded the spoils that were divided into two in an orderly manner.

At this time, after seeing the overall statistics, I realized that although the number of the Starry Adventure Group is almost three times that of the Wind Chaser Adventure Group, the loot they received will never be [-]% more than that of the Wind Chaser. When evaluating the quality of the fur, most of the magic antelopes on Fanxing's side had their leg bones smashed and then stabbed into the heart with a sharp sword. In this way, there would be an obvious thin sword on the soft chest between the two front legs of the magic antelope. Injury, this sword hurts deeply to the heart.

There are also magic antelopes whose whole body seems to be frozen, the flesh and blood of this one is frozen, and even on the way back, there are signs of melting in turn, but the inner cavity of the magic antelope is full of ice. Slag, obviously received powerful ice magic damage, there is still a mysterious magician in the Starry Adventure Group?

"Your handwriting is beautiful, but it looks strange. There is no problem with the order of each stroke. Why does each character always feel square? Oh, look, your stroke should be more rounded, just circle like this Come here, don't turn the right angle bluntly, um, this is not bad..." The young female magician who was in charge of taking care of our logistics team during the day was standing next to me at some point, and suddenly said something that almost scared me. The bullock cart goes up and down.She grabbed me casually, squatted beside me, pointed to the words I carved on the parchment with a knife and pen, and told me about those shortcomings.

I finally know why Master Pailes always looked at my handwriting with strange eyes when he taught me the imperial characters, but he never said that there was any problem with my handwriting. As long as the writing is correct, don’t Don't be awkward, he will definitely not care.I gave her a thankful smile, she patted my little face affectionately, and pressed my forehead against mine and said: "Who would be willing to lose such a cute little cutie like you? great!"

This is the first time a woman talked to me so intimately when I came to this world. Originally, I thought this female magician was an iceberg beauty. Although she does not meet my definition of beauty, I cannot deny her beauty. .

During the day, she gave me a handful of beans, and later let me drink a little water, and I felt her kindness to me.I can only pretend to be a good boy: "Thank you sister."

"Thank me for what?" Thank you in imperial language must have a clear reference. Her praise and kindness normally don't need my thanks, but I brought my previous memories into this world again, and opened my mouth and said subconsciously come out.The female magician asked me puzzled.

I could only bite my upper lip with my lower teeth, looked at her with wide eyes and said innocently to her, "Thank you sister for praising me!"

"Scary! The way you speak is so funny, but the dwarves don't seem to speak like this. Where did you come from?" The young female magician squatted beside me with a smile, her eyes were like crescent moon buds.

I can only seriously say: "I don't know either."

The magic antelope was recorded one by one, and the female magician at the side didn't speak any more, just squatting beside me and watching me engrave words on the parchment with a knife and pen. After finishing the recording, she said to me seriously: "Your hand holding the pen is very steady. It can be seen that you are very tired and almost couldn't hold the knife and pen, but you have very strong restraint, and you actually persisted."

"I want to work hard and exchange more white bread." I said honestly, this is what Uncle Fred told me. The group of people who participated in the hunting group will not only be paid about three silver coins, but also eat sweet White bread.I don't get paid three silver coins, I think it would be nice to give me one silver coin, so white bread is what I want most, these days I have been eating black flour pancakes that are so rough that I can almost scratch my intestines, it's really hard Bear.

"Hehe, what a low request. Oh, by the way, my name is Guoguo, you can call me Sister Guoguo. If you want to eat white bread, you can come to me at any time. I seem to have a can of gold that is a specialty of Ayrtown. Applesauce, it tastes pretty good!" the female magician said lightly.

Fruity?The water magician of the Wind Chaser Adventure Group?Oh My God!

Tia has talked about their adventure group many times. I know that there is a mage in their team who is good at water healing and auxiliary magic. It turns out to be this eldest sister. She looks so young!Of course I would not be stingy and obediently called out: "Sister Guoguo!"

The night is like thick ink dyed into clear water, penetrating the darkness.The starry sky became extremely bright, and the cool wind weakened a lot, but on this night, in this early spring, it was still a bit cold.

Rows of wooden frames with taut leather are erected on the other side of the hillside, and every two are leaning against each other, waiting for the leather to dry before applying Glauber's salt. The rows are neatly like tents in a military camp.

Three bonfires were lit on the south slope. Even in such a simple camp, each small group still acted according to their own ideas. Although the fuel was not much, they still divided into three bonfires.

Come to think of it, the two adventure groups are not close enough to eat and live together, and at this time they still need to count the loot during the day during the meal. It is too embarrassing for everyone to get together to chat!
The leather makers in the caravan and we are a small independent group. The middle class system of the empire is very complicated. The highest status is His Majesty the Great Emperor-Prince-Duke-Marquis-Earl-Viscount-Baron.

Soldiers who have successfully registered in the trade union will have knights and ranks. They will still be higher than civilians, and then civilians-untouchables-vagrants-slaves. The lowest status is slaves. , A group of people with any property and skills, they can be more appropriately said to be beggars, untouchables are the group of people who operate lowly industries, such as night watchmen, street girls, thieves and so on. ,

And the leatherworkers can only be regarded as civilians at most. If they are allowed to be with the adventurers who have the status of knights, their status will inevitably be lower. However, in fact, these people are not very different. Look down on who!
So the bonfire was lit in three piles, and each team prepared its own dinner.But you can eat fresh mutton at night. These skinned magic antelopes can’t be taken away at all. At most, some marinated lamb legs can be taken away. Most of the meat and skeleton will be abandoned on the southern slope of the grassland, waiting for the grassland. Wild beasts like wind wolves gnawed them clean.

Poignant night, and the evening wind blows.
