my age of magic

Chapter 14
Only people can understand people, and only oneself can understand themselves better.

The hunting of the adventure group ended in the afternoon of the second day. Kurtz visited me once in the morning and comforted me by saying that he had left a dry leg of lamb for me to cook together when I got better.

The little orc is very respected in the business group recently, because he can use all kinds of secret medicine powder to make delicious food. Kurz enjoys the friendly eyes of others, and happily told me a lot, and then Uncle Fred Came over to visit me and said that luckily nothing happened, luckily.

Tia just stayed outside the tent and refused to come in. He told me that if Guoguo knew that he had been here, he would definitely freeze him into a lump of ice.

I asked him: Can you beat Sister Guoguo?

Tia straightened her neck like a chicken with fried feathers, and said to me: I am not afraid of him. If that muscular man from Jambach was not always behind her to support her, I would be afraid of the magician who just graduated from the magic school. Chicken?

In short, be afraid!

The direct benefit of having a magician sister is that I can understand what magic is more quickly.

There are still many differences in the body structure of humans and orcs. The understanding of magic is completely different from the most basic source. The theories that old Kuru told me are all heresies in Guoguo’s eyes. She always says to me like this: That's what savage orcs do, and they do it all the time, and the fact of the matter is that... and so on.

However, she agreed with the old Kuru's last idea. Practicing anti-magic can offset the damage caused by fire magic elements in my body. Given that I have the talent for magic perception, the seemingly impossible proposal of the old Kuru has been implemented. sex.

She would always secretly teach me magic at night. She told me that the first class in human magic schools for newly enrolled magicians is to teach them how to meditate, and then there will be a whole half-semester of meditation classes and basic theoretical knowledge.

In the first half of the year after enrolling, the magic freshmen were not exposed to any magic skills. For a wild man like me, without awakening the magic pool, he didn't even know how to meditate, so he had to learn to use magic skills. The blind man touches the elephant.

The science of meditation comes from the elves, but it has been carried forward in the human race. Meditation is the most basic science for magicians to feel the magic elements more carefully, train magic perception and spiritual power, and accumulate and expand the magic pool.

I couldn't learn meditation, but Sister Guoguo told me her experience.She asked me to try not to think about it, not to control it with my heart, but to slowly feel the fire magic power accumulated in my body, and to savor the movement trajectory of those magic power.

I originally thought that the fire magic power in my body was contained in the flesh and blood, and it was static.

It was only later that I discovered that these magical elements were more like star maps or nebulae in my body. Their trajectories were not very obvious and very slow, but all the magic power was moving around a specific trajectory. Sister Guoguo once said She was very curious about what kind of achievements I would have if I could become a magician. I smiled and said that I only have a one-in-a-thousand chance, how could I be so lucky.

Sister Guoguo said that with magic perception, the chance of awakening can increase to [-]%, which I think is better than nothing.

The first time stable magic energy appeared on my fingertips, it was in a state of emptiness in my body. At that time, I felt that I even forgot about the matter of condensing the magic power itself, and I just felt the magic burning through my fingertips. Energy, the whole finger is like a candle, very bright.Sister Guoguo said that ordinary people would never see the light clusters on my fingertips, unless they are also magicians.

Wanting to use such a magic pen to draw a magic circle is like another mountain pressing down.

Because the magic power in my body is distributed all over the body, I can only mobilize the magic power that is nearby, and I can't control the magic power that is a little farther away.

Guoguo said that drawing a magic circle, as long as you practice more and think about it, it will come naturally when the time comes.

During the day, I would be behind Uncle Fred. As long as someone asked him to make leather, I would be like a small follower and carry a knife wallet for him. Unfortunately, there is no such good thing as hunting, and the caravan People are busy making the final preparations for entering the plateau. All kinds of heating blankets and leather tents are repaired. Uncle Fred has been repairing the damaged leather saddle covers all day and all night. My little apprentice can also do some occasionally. It's a rough job, but it's a pity that I can't get the money.

There are only three types of coins in the empire, thumb-sized copper plates, one hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, the silver coin is slightly larger than the copper plate, and one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one Grimm Empire gold coin.

I only saw the gold coins of the Grimm Empire once at Master Pailes's. Usually the main coins in circulation are silver coins. I watched Uncle Fred shake the two silver coins and put them in his pocket. .

I prayed in my heart: God, let one drop out, let one drop out soon!

The caravan began to collect a large amount of meat, boiled and dried. It is said that after entering the Pai Plateau Panshan Road, sometimes they may not be able to eat a hot meal for several days.

On the mountain roads that stretch for hundreds of miles, there is almost nothing to be found except ice and gravel.Bring enough fried rice, dried cooked meat, and some fuel that can be burned, dry wood, and dried cow dung will be neatly stacked into the bag. Looking at the dozens of hills in the entire camp, I am a little bit worried about those materials. The Thunder Rhinoceros who had fun in Xinghu were worried.

Old Kuru started to go out to collect medicine all day long. He didn't even want to take Kuz with him. When he came back before sunset, he couldn't see what was in the medicine basket. is my way home.

After a low and long cry, a thunder rhino leaped out of the lake beside me, its thick and short meaty tail rolled up huge waves, and its nearly ten-meter-long body was pushed out of the water.

The lake water flowed down through the gaps in its thick leather armor, like waterfalls in front of me, and its thick limbs were ridiculously close together. I never thought that Lei Tingxi was actually a good swimmer.

"thump!"

The sound was like thunder in a rainy day. When Lei Tingxi plunged into the water again, the waves were like a torrential rain, drenching me who was sitting on the ice of the lake.

Fortunately, the volume of the ice floe I was in was much larger than I imagined. Although I could only see the part floating above the water that was only a few meters square, the weight of the entire ice floe was definitely more than a hundred tons.

The huge waves slapped by the short tail of the thunder rhino did not affect me at all, but the waves behind the water pushed the ice floe a few meters away.

In the next second, Kurz came out of the water with a harpoon made of antelope horns, and his upper body lay on the ice floe under my feet. He was only wearing a leather jacket, so he was not afraid of the cold, shaking Looking at the two-foot-long herring on the harpoon, I said to me: "Jia, grill the fish tonight!"

After the adventure group hunts, the leatherworkers are all given a small amount of silver.In fact, I also really wanted a few silver coins. As the saying goes, if you have money in your pocket, you don’t panic, so I didn’t get what I wanted.

Kurz and I only got a not-so-long magic antelope horn as a reward. Kurz liked the magic antelope horn that could almost pierce an iron-clad shield, so he made himself a harpoon, the pole used to We exchanged it with two secret smoked rabbits from Uncle An. Originally, this long pole was a whip pole for chasing thunder rhinoceros, but it was accidentally broken by the driver. Such a long pole made of wisteria wood The baby is worthless. After we heard about it, we directly and decisively sold it and exchanged it with smoked rabbits.

The magic antelope horn was sharpened by Kurtz, with a hole at the end of the horn, and one end of the wooden pole was cut slightly thinner, and it was smashed directly into the hole at the end of the horn, and two long rods were chiseled into the antelope horn. The nails fixed the wooden pole firmly, and the harpoon was initially ready.

My antelope horn was directly left only the length of my palm, and it was ground into a sharp awl, which was usually hung in a leather case next to my body.

The short cones of antelope horn were honed so sharply that I could easily pierce rawhide tents without much effort.

All right.In fact, I just want to transform my fur coat. I am not used to that fur coat needs something like a rope to tie it tightly, which makes me look like a shepherd. Soil dregs.

I just want to make a few wolf bone buttons. The materials have been found, but I just can’t find the tools to make holes on them. I can’t finish making those bone buttons until I have a pair of sheep’s horn cones of my own. , tie a tough tendon rope to one side of the skirt of the leather jacket, and I poked a row of holes in the skirt on the other side with a ram horn, just like this, a rough leather jacket with a slightly exotic style took shape. In fact, I I also want to sew some pockets on the leather jacket, but I can't find a suitable leather.

I took a piece of leather trousers I wore before, and used the two tools I had in my hand, a leather knife and a ram horn, to transform them into more fitting and better-looking trousers.

It can be said that the aesthetics of orcs are very different from mine. They think that comfort, convenience, and durability are enough, but I want to match the trousers with a calfskin belt. I have already prepared the belt buckle. It is the blacksmith in the caravan. I made it last night, after watching him use an iron bar to roast red on the bonfire, he took out a small hammer and clinked it for a while, and then followed my instructions to help me create a beautiful belt buckle.

The uncle blacksmith was very proud to see my admiring gaze.

I always find ways to make myself more comfortable when I am free, just like trying to find a way to have a meal.Now after learning leatherworking from Uncle Fred, he has already learned some rough leatherworking techniques, so he immediately modifies the leather suit on his body according to his own ideas.

Kurz showed extreme disdain for me being such a burnt bag. When he saw that I was wearing the tight-fitting pants that could make my legs look slimmer, he said that these pants were not suitable for running, and they would run. There was some resistance in the process, but he liked my belt, watched me insert the end of the belt into the buckle, tightened the pants with just a slight tug, and told me it was magic.

Nobody in the caravan used belt buckles but me, they were more used to straps or rope.

It’s just that in the two or three days after I made the belt buckle, the blacksmith uncle suddenly received a series of requests. Someone followed suit and asked him to help make more belt buckles. The instigator of the incident was Uncle Fred, and after my protest Next, he made a beautiful belt for himself with a scrap of magic antelope skin. Afterwards, the entire caravan erupted, and the belt buckle trend became more and more intense.

Later, even Sister Guoguo came to me in private, and I immediately drew patterns of several other decorative belt buckles on the parchment, and Guoguo took them back to the campsite as treasures, and came back specially to tell me, Don't let out the styles of these belt buckles, and promise that when our business group arrives at the destination, she can even open a small shop specializing in belts when she returns to Bierre, and said to me happily: "The shop will definitely be able to do it." It's very popular, and it will be considered as a partnership between the two of us.

The caravan has been hoarding supplies for the past few days, preparing to climb the mountains at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau and enter the Pai Plateau along the salt-iron plank road.
