my age of magic

Chapter 136 136. Sell what you can't take away

After the dinner was over, Kurtz’s family members also had a new understanding of us. At least they knew that Kurtz and I have come through adversity together, and have a life-and-death friendship. Orcs value promises more, and Kurtz’s mother can’t stop this.Therefore, the reason to bring those starving orcs home eventually turned into hunting swamp zombies at Drowned Pond on the edge of the swamp in order to make enough money for my trip home.

My money-greedy face has also become a helpless act of a child who has nothing to protect himself.The orcs have always believed that in the human world, as long as there are gold coins in their pockets, everything can be settled, because there are profit-seeking merchants everywhere.A child like me should carry a few more gold coins in his pocket when he goes to the Grimm Empire.And I heard that this matter is a money-making idea given to us by the wise men of Meyana, so it seems natural to go to the Death Swamp.

Kurt finally decided to divide the area around the edge of the Death Swamp to Kurtz, and after he participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, he would officially become the lord there.However, this matter still needs to be voted on at the Gludin Presbyterian Council tomorrow before it can take effect.Hey, since it is an internal decision, why do you still follow the formalism?
As the acting chief of Gluding Town, Kut is a very intelligent orc. I think he has now recalled the mountain-like goods from the Yagui beast we brought, and the goods in those sacks. With magic herbs and bundles of magic antelope skins, we will know how much we have gained in the northern foot wasteland, and we will no longer underestimate our strength.

In order to make Kurz's mother less worried, Miss Qi even performed the magic of 'White Flame' in front of her.This also means that Qige has learned the second magic, which is to become a ninth-level magician apprentice, and she is only one step away from a real magician.

In fact, for the division of the strength levels of magician apprentices, the Magician Association in the ivory tower has strict regulations for each level of magician apprentices. Among them, the magic value stored in the magic pool is the most rigid indicator. If this indicator does not meet the standard, It will never be possible to advance to a higher level.It is very simple for a magician apprentice to be promoted from the first level to the sixth level. It is only required that the magic value in the magic pool reaches the specified requirements, and then he will be promoted directly. Every magician apprentice will learn meditation on the first day of school. As long as he practices diligently, You can become a sixth-level magician apprentice.But the seventh level is a watershed for magician apprentices. If you want to become a seventh-level magician apprentice, you not only need enough mana in the magic pool, but also need enough magic element affinity. After enough, the magician apprentice will easily learn the magic skills under this magic element.Each magical skill has a minimum elemental affinity requirement.

For example, Qige has a very high affinity for arcane magic elements, so she learned the 'magic bullet'.

I once asked her why you don't learn fireball. I heard that skill is the most powerful in the early stage.

She bared her teeth and said to me: You don't want to be an old lady, but my affinity for arcane magic elements is the highest, and it is easiest to feel it in meditation. I want to learn a cool magic skill as soon as possible, so I just learn it. up.

For example, Sister Guoguo has a very high affinity for water elements. She told me that her first magic skill was 'Water Bouncing'.

At that time, I asked in surprise: Why isn't it Frostbolt?
She smiled dumbly, tapped my forehead lightly, and asked: Who said that a water mage can learn Frost Arrow with his first skill?Do you know how much water magic element affinity is required to learn that skill?
I thought to myself how would I know if you didn't tell me!

In the magic caravan, I knew that the reason why Qige had been reluctant to advance was that she hadn't learned the second magic.There is no obstacle for a magician apprentice to advance from level [-] to level [-], as long as the magic value meets the standard requirements.But at the ninth level, the magician is required to have enough magic affinity. Originally, if Qige raised the affinity of arcane magic elements, it would not be too difficult, but Miss Qi's temper has changed. In the beginning, I wanted to let my affinity for fire magic elements reach the level of a ninth-level magician apprentice. Now, I undoubtedly need to experience another fire magic element again.This has caused Miss Qi to stay on as a seventh-level magician apprentice until now.

The egg-sized fireball in her hand was covered with black vines, it looked like countless black tree vines tied up a mass of milky white flames, and those white flames continued to burn through these black vines, I could feel a strong burning sensation standing two meters away.This is not 'Little Fireball' anymore, it's the magic 'White Flame' that can only be learned by a ninth-level magician apprentice. This is a more scorching fire spell than 'Fireball', but its disadvantage is the attack range Only forty yards, this distance is very short for a magician.Qige naturally has her reasons for learning this spell, that is, the temperature of 'White Flame' can melt most primary magic metals and ores. As a potion master, learning this spell can save a lot of auxiliary materials.

On the way back to the room, Qige finally couldn't help asking me: "Jia, in the caravan, it is said that your brothers have mastered the secrets of orc cuisine, so that the food becomes so delicious, and you took out a I asked everyone in the caravan to taste a delicious food that I had never eaten before. Later, I got hungry and asked you to cook a sumptuous dinner for me. If it weren't for that delicious dinner, who would know a little kid like you! "

She laughed loudly as she spoke, the silver bell-like voice echoed in the corridor, it seemed so clear and sweet.

"I still clearly remember how you were like Brother Zhu at that time. When you looked at me, your saliva almost dripped on the skirt of your clothes. It was the first time I saw such a small child, and I actually showed such lewd eyes." Qige's words evoked our memories. On the beautiful Xinghu grassland, there are countless pictures clearly staying in my spiritual sea.

The scene where old Kuroo sits on the mound waiting for me and Kurtz to come back from hunting guinea pigs.The scene where Uncle Fred splits off the back leg of the magic antelope and chops it down with a bone-chopping knife.Kurz and I were swimming in the Star Lake when a huge thunderstorm suddenly appeared beside us, like a heavy rain.Sister Guoguo pulled me into the tent, who was wet all over, and helped me change into dry clothes. It was the first time in this world that I blushed when I saw a mature woman's body.

Qigra took me to sit on the balcony of the room, looking up at the star map in the night sky.I don't know when I started to like looking up at the night sky.Katerina found some meat floss from her luggage bag, proudly took out a piece of cheese from her bosom, brought a plate of white bread from the tea table in the room, and proudly said to Qige, "Isn't it full?" , Fortunately, I prepared these."

Qige squeezed Katerina's face affectionately, and praised: "Good baby!"

Qige was at the dining table. In order to maintain her image, she refused to eat more. I helped her eliminate half of her steak.It was only then that I thought of asking Katerina: where did I have dinner.She smiled sweetly at me and said, "In the small hall next to the back kitchen, we eat roasted cleft hoof beef shank, which is delicious."

Qige stood in front of me, with his back to me, and held up his wine-red wavy long hair with open arms, revealing his snow-white slender neck and perfectly curved back. I stood skillfully on the wooden pier, standing on tiptoe Stepping forward, she loosened the corset of her long skirt on the back little by little.Among the dots of lights in Gludin Town, the brightest place is the street market, forming several criss-crossing light belts in Gludin Town, which is very beautiful.

At this time, Qige said regretfully: "Jia, I originally thought that the nobles in the orc tribe would eat the exquisite dishes you made before every day, such as the strange herring, mushroom soup, and black pepper lamb chops. But here , I just found out that there is no such delicacy in the orc tribe. They are imitating the taste of the nobles in the Green Emperor. Such a medium-rare clefthoof steak is popular, and I found that the delicacies of the orc tribe are not as good as expected, they gave up those delicious secret seasonings, and they just want to imitate the luxury of the nobles of the Green Empire..."

After getting rid of the cumbersome and heavy long skirt dress and kicking off the exquisite shoes on her feet, Qige was lying on a large wooden recliner wearing only a flesh-fitting white petticoat. Katerina took out two blankets from the room, one for covering On Qige's body, one wraps around my body.

I jumped onto the wooden railing of the balcony and sat down, with my legs outside the balcony, and said, "I thought you would be impatient to make magic ink."

Qige didn't answer my words, and said to me after a long silence: "I'm level nine!"

I went on to say: "I know, do you really think I'm a child who doesn't understand anything? Seeing your 'White Flame', I know that your magic affinity has reached the standard of level nine, so go ahead Are you going to become a real magician?"

Qige said lightly: "Well, I can successfully graduate from the Junior Green Royal Academy of Magic and Magic before the age of 16. These days on the wasteland, my magic affinity has improved a lot, I think it may be with us all night long Making scrolls has a lot to do with it. I didn’t expect that making a lot of magic potions would actually increase the affinity for magic elements. Jijia, I think I’m going home. I want to take the graduation exam in the summer, get a magician qualification certificate, and then apply for the exam Intermediate Green Royal Academy of Magic."

There was the sound of a knife falling on the floor, and I turned my head to look at it. Katerina squatted on the ground in panic and picked up a silver knife. He looked at both of us with a panicked face.

I struggled to utter a few words: "This is very good! I will find a chance to visit you in the imperial capital."

"Come back to the imperial capital with me. Katerina has been taking care of you during this time, and you won't be used to leaving her." Qige said tactfully.

"You know, I promised Sister Guoguo." I refused again.

As a result, the night became very silent, and everyone's loneliness was spreading, just like the ivy on the old wall, completely enveloping the entire wall.I didn't sleep well that night. I curled myself into the quilt, making myself look like a cocoon, but the emptiness still gave me chills.

After midnight, the two rounds of silver moon quietly climbed up from the edge of the mountains. The dazzling moonlight made the entire star map disappear in the night, leaving only the brightest stars.The mercury-like moonlight spilled into the room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the curtains of the windows were constantly swaying by the night wind, just like an enchanting dancer constantly twisting her body, I even clearly felt Katerina got out of bed and re-tied the tulled curtains.

Early the next morning, I was dragged out of the bed by Qige. I didn’t sleep almost all night last night. I fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn. That beautiful and beautiful face smiled Looking at me, the slender fingers like white onions pulled my ears, and shouted in my ear: "Jijia, get up quickly, we agreed to sort out those herbs and magic antelope skins this morning, don't hide in bed be lazy!"

The ruby ​​on her snow-white neck was crystal clear, and the fragrance of a girl wafted from her nostrils.

I was dragged up in a daze in my sleep, and Katerina next to me thoughtfully wiped my face with a towel. I saw that her red eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that she didn’t sleep well last night. .The room was messy, girls' clothes were hanging everywhere on the sofa, on the floor, and on the wooden coffee table, making this room with orc decoration style full of vitality.

We ate breakfast in the room. I really like the chocobo omelette, which is very tender.

When Kurz rushed over, we were almost finished eating. I don't know how he comforted his mother last night, but seeing the great look on his face, he probably persuaded his mother.

Kurz lifted the curtain and walked in, saw Katerina was clearing the plates on the coffee table, and asked in surprise, "Did you finish eating so early?"

"Miss Qi is going to process her herbs, she needs to hurry up!" I lay on the sofa without energy, slept too late yesterday, and now my head is still a little dizzy, and I said weakly.

Qige stood up from the dressing chair, threw the eyebrow pencil in the exquisite dressing box, checked it carefully in the mirror, found no flaws, corrected the ponytail on the back of her head in satisfaction, and turned to face Ku Zi said: "Those magic herbs, some of which are too unused have to be sold, like the hemostatic grass, I don't have time to repeatedly purify, and then refine one or two bottles of healing potions, Let's prepare the materials for making milky white ink and moonlight ink, and ask Butler Kidd to help us dispose of everything else."

"You don't want so many, why are you taking so much effort to bring them back?" I thought about facing thirty sacks of magic herbs, and I felt like dying, so I complained to Qige.

"You want to care? Get up quickly, and sit on the sofa when you're full, what a lazy pig! Go and move those sacks out of the barn for my old lady!"

I secretly groaned in my heart, and hurriedly said: "My dear sister, how good it is for us to choose in the warehouse, and we don't have to worry about being exposed to the sun!"

"Tch, it's not like I didn't go to the barn to look at it yesterday. It's dark and dark and there's dust everywhere. Can you be foolish?" Qigra dragged me out of the room while chattering.Kurtz and Katerina hurriedly followed, and our group came to the sundries warehouse next to the stables outside the garden wall at the back of the castle. At this time, the servant sent by Kidd waited for a long time. Seeing that we had arrived, he happily moved the warehouse The door opened, and Kurtz asked the grooms to move out the herbs from the warehouse.

It is very cumbersome to deal with those herbs. Miss Qi is a very picky person. First of all, she has to select different types of herbs one by one, and place them in different categories. The herbs that are not in good condition must be picked out.The four of us were busy all morning, and only finished picking out three sacks of magic herbs.Looking at the piles of herbs waiting to be processed, I tried to persuade Qige: "Let's ask someone to pick it!" Qige and Katerina looked at the huge pile of herbs on the ground, and finally they could only agree.

Steward Kidd brought some diligent wolf beast girls here. They all had some basic knowledge of herbal medicine and they worked very quickly. I was finally able to be lazy. Soon after, a herbal medicine merchant from Gludin Town was also invited. Qige began to bargain with him, talking about these magic herbs non-stop. I was too lazy to participate, so I just watched Katerina grind the juice of Ningshen grass. Katerina gave me a sad look, as if she was still complaining about me yesterday In the evening, I didn't promise Qige to go back to the imperial capital together.

In the end, most of the herbs we didn't use were sold to the herb merchant at a discounted price. Qige didn't ask for money, but just returned some turquoise, tiger's eye and a small packet of mithril powder in an equivalent transaction.I saw the herb merchant carefully packing those precious magic emperor grasses into wooden boxes, so I asked Qige: Why are those rare magic emperor grasses also sold?Qige turned her head to the side lightly and replied: If you can't take it with you, just sell it.I didn't know what to say for a while.
