my age of magic

Chapter 1598 147. Magical Union of Strange Rock City

Outside Qiyan City, dense forest

Kalancuo took 130 orc fighters into the tropical rainforest outside the city.

I took out a directional teleportation scroll from my magic pocket, unfolded the teleportation scroll, and after chanting a short spell, a teleportation door wrapped in an electric arc appeared in front of me.

The electric arcs emit a dazzling white light in the dark night, forming a curtain of light.

I glanced at the bushes where Kalancuo disappeared, and without hesitation, I took Katerina across the portal and returned to the DC area of ​​Qiyan City.

The portals filled with electric arcs are particularly eye-catching at night. The portals that appeared in the DC area of ​​Qiyan City soon attracted the attention of the Knights of the Guard Battalion. Brama, galloping on the open street, passed Katerina and me.

They didn't seem to intend to interrogate us, but after checking the place where the portal appeared, they found that nothing happened, and there were no traces of the battle left, so they didn't continue to investigate.

The appearance of them patrolling Qiyan City on horseback looks majestic on such a moonlit and snowy night.

On the way back to Hollyon Hotel, Katerina and I did not have the extravagance to continue to use the directional teleportation scroll. The stars in the night sky receded, and the sky revealed a white belly. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, we decided to go along the central avenue of the city. Go back on the pedestrian street.

The morning humidity in Qiyan City is relatively high, and the whole city is shrouded in a faint mist.

The sky is gradually brightening, but the fog in the city is getting thicker and thicker.

The night watchmen in the city are turning off the streetlights on every street in the city, and the citizens of Qiyan City have started to go to the streets one after another. In order to fill their stomachs, the poor have to leave their homes early and wait in advance in places where workers are recruited in the city.

Recently, the business in the various workshops of Qiyan City has become more and more sluggish, the number of unemployed people in Qiyan City has gradually increased, and the city is losing its former vitality.

Pedestrians on the street looked numb, their eyes lingering in front of the street food stalls filled with morning fog, but few people actually went up to buy, even the most ordinary potato cake.

The depression of Qiyan City in the morning and the prosperity of the night make me feel as if I am in two different cities.

……

When the sun breaks through the mist, the whole city becomes brighter.

We walked out of the Hollyon Hotel and onto the avenue in Civic Center Plaza.

Yingli, Helena, and Becky boarded a magic caravan and went to the Governor's Mansion to visit the Marquis Norman, the consul of Qiyan City. The tauren Luka became their bodyguard and accompanied them all the way. The magic caravan left the Hollyon Hotel, Helena's little hand stretched out the window and waved it back and forth, becoming crystal clear under the sunlight.

Not long after the magic caravan that Yingli was in left, another magic caravan drove up. Annie and Sura took senior sister Erica into the magic caravan. Strolling around St. Fea Cathedral in Strange Rock City, I was worried that they would get into trouble, so I asked Justus to protect them.

When Katerina and I were waiting for the next magic caravan at the entrance of the hotel, some adventurers also came out of the hotel, some left the hotel in a hurry, and some walked along the corridor on the side of the street. Strolling along the road, some people walked through the central square of the city to go to the opposite Mercenary Association to receive tasks.

Many adventure groups do not simply accept missions from clients, or hunt monsters and collect herbs in the wild. They often combine these things together. When hunting monsters, just check to see if there are any suitable tasks on the Mercenary Association.

Strange Rock City is a city where adventurers gather, and the mercenary association here is also the busiest place in the city.

In contrast, the Mercenary Association in El City is pitifully small. The Mercenary Association in my memory is located on the street between the Free Market and the Horse Market in El City, belonging to the slums in El City. There are some homeless orcs everywhere on that street. As long as they are willing to take out a piece of pancake, the group of orc homeless people can do some strenuous things like running errands or carrying bags.

Before the sun came out of the clouds in the morning, many people gathered outside the Mercenary Association of Qiyan City.

A peddler with a basket of fruit on his head passed in front of me. I reached out and took out two guavas, and then threw a dozen copper plates into the copper pot hanging on his chest. The peddler turned around. Knees to me and motions for me to choose more fruits.

Street cake vendors also like to hold their trays on their heads.

There is a kind of breakfast in Qiyan City, which is to wrap various fruits and vegetables into a shortbread, add some mayonnaise and salt, it tastes sweet and sour, and has a little salty taste, which is not used to us , but it is one of the people's favorite food in Qiyan City.

Six assassins mysteriously disappeared in the Hollyon Hotel last night, which did not affect the daily life of the guests in the hotel. The organization hiding in the dark probably needs to re-evaluate our strength, anyway, even if they still have actions , I probably wouldn't choose the Hollyon Hotel as the place of business, at least I think so.

"Magic union!"

I stood on the side of the street, this magic caravan parked in front of me, I raised my head and said to the coachman.

The coachman took off his melon cap and said to me respectfully: "You need to pay a silver coin, my lord magician."

After speaking, he jumped down from the seat flexibly and opened the car door for us.

Katerina boarded the carriage, and his eyes drifted to the carriage, and Katerina inadvertently stared at him. He woke up instantly as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and boarded in a panic. Sitting on the driver's seat, he raised his whip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks. The magic caravan walked along the Central Avenue for less than 100 meters, turned and drove into another road.

Pedestrians along the way gave way one after another, and the scenery on both sides of the street passed before my eyes.

……

The magic union in Qiyan City is a five-story circular tower building, like a birthday cake with many layers.

In addition to the evenly distributed Roman columns on the outer corridor of the tower, the round arched gate is carved with exquisite patterns, and the flag of the magic union flutters in the wind on the top of the tower. There is a flag on the top of each floor, far away. Looking at the past makes people feel dazzled.

The tower of the Magic Union is far less magnificent than the Tower of Pride in the imperial capital, and its floor area is even less than one-tenth of the Tower of Pride. But when it comes to the exquisite reliefs on the Tower of Magic, it is the most eye-catching of this tower. The place.

The people of the Green Empire like to carve epic pictures into buildings or make them into square statues for preservation.

The tower of the Magic Union is next to the library of Qiyan City, covering an area of ​​less than an acre, and the top floor of the tower is only about one-third of the bottom floor.

The magic caravan stopped at the entrance of the magic union, and Katerina and I got out of the magic caravan, just in time to see a large group of magicians walking into the magic tower in twos and threes.

Some people walk in a hurry, some hold a magic book and hold a wheat cake roll, fruit salad and eat while walking, and some whisper to their friends.

The magicians of the magic union in Qiyan City are more like officials from the administrative departments of the imperial capital, like those office workers who work from nine to five.

The magicians in the imperial capital seldom show up outside the magic tower so early and walk into the magic tower on time. The magicians in the imperial capital live more freely without strict rules of restraint. They often turn upside down day and night. Scholars often show up in the office of the magic union after afternoon tea.

As for the way of life of the magic scholars in the imperial capital, the way of life is even more loose. For example, the Yerkes scholar, he likes to sleep with Eve in his arms from morning to afternoon, and likes to work on magic runes in the magic laboratory of the research institute at night. Research, of course, at the beginning he was trying to cater to my schedule, but now he has developed this bad habit of sleeping during the day and staying up late at night.

I reached out and wiped the magic badge on my chest. This is a silver magic badge that symbolizes an intermediate magician, with golden magic patterns embedded on it. There is my exclusive magic mark under the badge, which can be said to be my body. A professional certificate for a magician.

I followed the flow of people into the Magic Union, and the guard at the gate set his eyes on me and Katerina. I thought he would stand up and ask a few questions, and I was thinking about how to deal with him, but I didn't expect him to see a few After a blink of an eye, they set their eyes on the people behind and ignored us.

The rotunda on the first floor of the magic tower is very spacious, and the magicians are scattered from here to each room of the magic tower. I stand in the hall and don't know where to go.

Looking around, I saw that the reception desk was next to a waterfall background wall, so I took Katerina over there.

Two young magic apprentices in front of the reception desk were chatting in low voices. I just walked over and heard them talking:

"...Didn't you go to the private auction last night? You got something good, show it to me."

"What's more! I was looking forward to a magic shield scroll, but unfortunately it was snatched by those from the pharmacy department. They always buy magic items at a premium with their money bags. I hate it as much as I want."

"Who told them to be the assistants of the magic potion department? You don't know the market price of magic herbs now. It keeps rising all day long. A bottle of spirit potion is sold for a sky-high price!"

The two magic assistants in front of the reception desk were fairly handsome. When they saw me coming, they stopped chatting and asked me with a smile, "Your Excellency, Mage, what can I do for you?"

"Ahem, may I ask if the registration of foreign magicians is here?" This is the first time I do these things, and I don't know much about the procedures of the Magic Union.

"Um, Your Majesty the Magician, it's in the reference room of magic officials on the second floor, aren't you a local magician?" Perhaps hearing that I don't have a local accent, one of the magic assistants asked curiously.

"I'm from the imperial capital." I replied.

"If it's your first time here, I can take you to the reference room." One of the magic assistants said immediately.

I didn't expect the magic assistants from the Magical Union of Qiyan City to be so diligent. I only expected them to tell me how to get there. I didn't expect one of the magic assistants to come out from the reception desk and lead the way in front of me. The Magic Officials Reference Room in the archives area of ​​the building.

When magicians practiced in the Green Empire, they would look for the local magic guild as soon as they arrived in a strange city, and then register their identities. This was mainly to record the whereabouts of the magicians. In principle, the local magic guild The safety of all Grimm Empire magicians in the jurisdiction should be guaranteed. Although it seems difficult to do this, it is also a disguised protection for the magician nobles.

The room is full of large bookshelves, and rows of materials are neatly placed on the bookshelves. The magic assistants in the reference room are sorting out the materials on the bookshelves. When someone walks in, a young female magician walks away from the bookshelves. Come over, sit at the table and ask us: "Your Majesty, do you want to register your personal information?"

I sat down in front of the witch and said, "Yes."

The magic assistant at the reception desk nodded slightly to me, turned around and walked out.

I took off the magic badge on my chest, handed it to the female magician, and asked her, "Can I register for someone else?"

The female magician didn't look up, she took my magic badge directly, copied the personal information on my magic badge into the sheepskin information book,

The female magician flicked the quill pen on the paper, and there was a rustling sound. When she stopped writing, she said to me: "Of course, but you must provide their magic badges, and I will note them behind their names." Put your name on it, okay?"

"That's it, please register the personal information of these two magicians as well." I took out the magic badges of Ying Li and Senior Erika, and registered them in the reference room.

Immediately afterwards, I asked the female magician: "May I ask, can I check the information of my two friends here?"

The female magician finally raised her head, stared at me in astonishment, and refused: "This is not acceptable, the personal information of every magician is kept confidential, and only members of the law enforcement team of the Magic Union have such power. To investigate your friend's personal information registered here, you must obtain the consent of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team."

Then she was afraid that I would not understand, and added: "Recently, there have been a lot of people looking for information in this area. The management of the Magic Union has become much stricter in this area. We can only follow the rules."

Hearing what she said, my heart sank, so I had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll try it."

She pushed the three magic badges in front of me, then sat up straight, pointed to the right side, and said to me: "The headquarters of the Qiyan City Law Enforcement Group is on the third floor. Turn right when you go out and you will see the stairs leading to the third floor." .”

When we walked out of the magic official reference room, Katerina and I looked at each other. It seems that many other magicians in Strange Rock City have also encountered this situation...
