my age of magic

Chapter 1638 187. Yingli. Let's go

The knights of the guard battalion of Qiyan City stood on the city wall. In the distance, nearly a hundred flying dragons shuttled through the clouds as thick as cotton wool. Hundreds of bed crossbows at the top of the city adjusted their angles one after another. The giant crossbow arrows were put into the crossbow grooves. The bow string was also slowly pulled away by the winch, and the pitch angle bracket was raised 35 degrees, aiming at the orc flying dragon knights in the clouds.

There have been no wars in Qiyan City in the past few years. Due to funding problems, the routine maintenance of the defense equipment has been postponed for more than half a year. After the rainy season, the slipknot joints of these bed crossbows have become rusty. Banban, at this moment, the crossbowmen of the guard battalion put on the tendon bowstring, the winch creaked harshly, and the bowstring of the bed crossbow was pulled away by the crossbowmen...

A group of knights from the guard battalion were desperately using whetstones to polish the tip of the dragon spear. A layer of mildew had grown on the wooden handles of these old ordnance, and even a mold had grown on the wooden ordnance stacked at the bottom. Layers of colorful mushrooms to come.

The guard soldiers and the knights of the guard battalion stood on the city wall relatively speechless, and the officers of both sides did not intend to communicate or interact with each other. The scene was once very dull.

The knights of the guard battalion waited tremblingly on the top of the city for a long time, and found that the group of flying dragons in the distance did not seem to have any plans to attack Qiyan City by air, so they decisively left some knights to continue guarding here, and the remaining half of the knights of the guard battalion were originally dissolved...

……

Five land monitor lizards, loaded with supplies brought back from the wild swamp Guzaher tribe, drilled out of the dense rainforest. At the head of the city, the knights of the guard group focused on our team and waited at the gate of the city. The people who entered the city were also in an uproar. The five land-moving monitor lizards walked forward slowly, and some people kept retreating because of timidity. The scene at the gate of the city was once very chaotic.

The gate of Qiyan City has not been opened yet, and the people outside the city make way for us.

Nathaniel excitedly stood on top of the Landing Monitor Lizard at the front, took off the leather vest with cut sleeves on his body, and waved the leather vest vigorously in his hand with his bare upper body, facing the knights of the guard camp on the city head Shouted loudly: "Hurry up and open the city gate, let us enter the city!"

The guarding soldiers on the top of the city looked down from between the walls for a long time, but found no other suspicious situation. They also saw Nathaniel standing on top of the giant lizard with a haughty look, and hurriedly lowered the suspension bridge and opened the city. The gatekeeper let the people who were waiting outside the city into the city.

There were a lot of people waiting to get into town, and not all of them were afraid of us.

Waiting at the front of the city gate was a group of lightly armored knights riding on the old horses. Although they had a hint of vigilance in their eyes, they did not dodge like other people.

A group of us sat in a row on the back of the monitor lizard, also behind the group of knights.

Maybe it's because some of us are riding five land-moving monitor lizards. This kind of giant lizard has a ferocious appearance. Whether it is the poor waiting to enter the city or the nobles sitting in the carriage, they all hide from us far away. Willing to come so close to us that a long distance behind us is empty.

The last time we entered the city, the gates of Qiyan City were not so strictly controlled, and our group entered Qiyan City almost without any interrogation.

But this time it seems to be much stricter, and the surrounding civilians in Qiyan City are all looking at us with strange eyes, with a strong look of contempt in their vigilant eyes. It seems that there must be something about us in Qiyan City. Unknown accident.

When we lined up to enter the city, the guards at the gate didn't intend to go forward to check at all, but stood behind the Juluma one after another, holding the imperial standard crossbow and confronting our group. Nathaniel looked surprised Standing on top of the monitor lizard, he quickly slipped off the monitor lizard and ran to the city gate to negotiate with the group of city gate guards who were unwilling to step forward.

The gate guards wouldn't talk to Nathaniel at all, so I had to settle the matter myself.

For these city guards, my noble status is far more effective than one or two gold coins, so I walked forward wearing a noble medal that symbolizes my status as a marquis. Those city gate guards didn't know me, but they knew my chest. They hid behind Juluma and saluted me from a distance.

"We want to enter Qiyan City, why not let it go?" I questioned the city guards.

Among the city gate guards, a soldier captain stood up and explained to me: "This Lord Marquis recently received an order from the Lord's Mansion of Qiyan City that any adventure group returning from the swamp must be personally escorted by the knights of the guard battalion. Interrogation is just a routine for us."

After saying this, the soldier captain slid away and hid behind the Juluma at the gate of the city.

Not long after, a group of guard battalion knights rushed out of the city and surrounded us at the gate of the city. The guards guarding the gate of the city were relieved.

A knight captain came out of the team on his Gu Bolai horse. He jumped off the horse and saluted me, frowning and questioning me: "Your Excellency the Marquis, did you come back from the wild swamp?"

Although he noticed the badge of nobility on my chest, he didn't show the respect he should have.

"That's right!" I said to the knight captain.

He set his eyes on the monitor lizard, and saw that the lizard was full of supplies, but there were no lizard slaves. His face became even more ugly, and he asked me, "Don't you hunt lizard slaves?"

I sneered, and said, "We are just an ordinary adventure group, not the group of slave traders, so naturally we don't do slave hunting business."

The knight captain seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then his face became serious again. He stared at the cargo boxes on the monitor lizard's back, and asked me, "Your Excellency, what kind of cargo is on the monitor lizard's back?"

I really admire the courage of this knight commander. When facing a noble marquis, he still speaks so hard.

I replied patiently: "Some monster materials and magic herbs hunted in the wild swamp."

The knight leader saw that there were only a few people in our party, but we were carrying so many supplies, so he said to me: "Your Excellency, please follow us to the guard camp for further identity verification. Recently, a group of ordinary adventurers appeared in Qiyan City. Most of these robbers are members of the gang that sells lizard slaves in the city. I initially suspect that you have something to do with this matter, so please follow us to the guard camp."

Seeing that the knight commander wanted to take us to the guard camp without any reason, Kalancuo and Justus came up from behind with ten orc warriors.

At this time, Yingli hurriedly ran down from the land-moving monitor lizard, grabbed me and said to the knight commander: "...please allow me to send a letter to the Marquis Norman, the consul of Qiyan City. We are old acquaintances with the Marquis Norman." .”

The knight commander saw that although Ying Li didn't have any noble marks on his body, he didn't dare to be negligent and said: "This is no problem, we are just doing routine work."

……

The Marquis of Norman came much faster than I thought. We sat on the back of the monitor lizard and were escorted by a team of knights from the guard camp. As soon as we entered the gate of the guard camp, the carriage of the Marquis of Norman came galloping from outside. , stopped our group.

The door of the carriage was opened by two knight servants. The servants moved a stool and placed it at the door of the carriage. A middle-aged man in gorgeous noble clothes slowly walked out of the carriage. The young man saluted.

The middle-aged nobleman waved his hand casually, and then walked straight towards Yingli.

Ying Li and I quickly jumped off the back of the monitor lizard, and Ying Li obediently greeted Marquis Norman: "Uncle Norman..."

I have to say that noble privileges are really a good thing. Although we have not given any explanation to the knights in the guard camp, the Marquis of Norman came forward, and the knights in the guard camp dared not detain us at all. Let us through the door.

The Marquis of Norman invited us into his magic caravan, and the rest of us followed behind in a monitor lizard.

The walking speed of the land monitor lizard in the city is not fast, so the magic caravan is also moving forward slowly. I met this Norman Marquis for the first time, but it seems that he is very familiar with Yingli, and he is in Yingli. There is an indescribable respect in front of him.

It is said that the Norman Marquis once served under Prince James and was born in a noble family in Qiyan Province. After leaving the South Wind Army, he returned to Qiyan Province to serve.

Sitting in the carriage, I asked the Marquis Norman, "Master Consul, what happened in the city, that you want to investigate all the adventurers returning from the wild swamp?"

The Marquis Norman gave me a strange look, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then told me:
"Speaking of it, this matter is really difficult to tell... The matter is generally like this. In short, dozens of adventure groups in Qiyan City have disappeared in the rainforest inexplicably in the past six months, including seven magicians. This matter This matter has already attracted the attention of the headquarters of the Empire Magic Union!"

"Her Royal Highness, Marquis of Jijia, let me tell you two, this incident is directly related to Prince George of the royal family and Quentin Busman of the Busman family. All clues indicate that Prince George and Quentin Busman are involved. Almost all the slave traders in the city participated in this hunting plan for the imperial adventure group..."

After the Marquis of Norman told the ins and outs of the incident, Yingli and I couldn't help but look at each other. We thought it was Uttas and the Angus brothers who had acted recklessly, but we didn't expect that so many people would be involved in this incident. Prince George and Quentin's figure originally thought that he could ease the relationship with His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charles by taking advantage of the time away from the imperial capital, but he didn't expect to step on the thunder of Prince George again.

But I have the brand of Prince James on my body, and Prince James is very close to the Prince of Wales. This matter may cause disputes within the Angibold royal family.

At least Prince Charlie will not give me a good face when he meets me in the future.

After hearing the Marquis of Norman tell these things, I knew that a series of major incidents had occurred in Qiyan City, and the fuse of the incident was that I led people to secretly rob Angus and the Uttas brothers. The tragedy that almost wiped out the family must have attracted the attention of the Qiyan City Guard Camp... But I didn't expect that more serious incidents would be involved later, which directly caused everyone to almost forget to find the real culprit who hijacked Uttas and the Angus brothers.

In the following month, the slave traders in Qiyan City were purged by the noble lords of Qiyan Province. Even the arena in Qiyan City was forced to close down a month ago.

Just a week ago, the House of Representatives of Qiyan Province held the largest referendum meeting. All nobles voted on Prince George and Quentin Busman. Although the nobles of Qiyan Province did not have the right to judge Prince George, they did It can be expelled from Qiyan Province.

……

The Marquess of Norman arranged us in a clean manor. Ying Li and I sat under the sun umbrella by the swimming pool, while Helena and Becky swam in the swimming pool under the scorching sun.

"So, Prince George and Quentin Busman were driven back to the imperial capital?" I said to Yingli.

Ying Li was wearing a cool white long dress made of magic-striped spider silk, lying on a recliner and said to me: "It is said that the commander of the Chris Legion stabbed this matter in front of His Majesty Charles. Prince George rushed to the plane of Ahnquila, and it happened that Prince Charlie was in the two mithril mines in the plane of Ahnquila. Prince George should stay honestly in the plane of Ahnquila in the name of managing the mines. a period of time."

"As for that Quentin Busman, he didn't get such a good treatment. Although he was also sent back to the Warsaw plane, most of the Warsaw plane has been occupied by the evil ghost army of the dark forces of the abyss. Busman The family's army huddled in the last main city, and it is said that Duke Ryan was seriously injured, and the empire did not dispatch the Royal Constructed Knights to rescue the Busman family at this time, and it seems that His Majesty Charles is likely to abandon the Busman family."

I sighed softly, feeling a lot of emotion in my heart: "I didn't expect so many things to happen in the empire during the more than a month we've been in the wild swamp."

I paused, then I sat up from the recliner, squatted beside Ying Li, held her white and soft hands, and summoned up the courage to say to her: "Ying Li, I plan to give up my studies at the Royal Academy of Magic, I want Go to the Aetia Union Kingdom to find Qige."

Ying Li looked around, and asked me with a smile: "Have you decided?"

"Yes, there is probably a war going on in the Allied Kingdom of Etia. I want to help Qige, and I'm a little worried about her." I said with a guilty conscience.

Unexpectedly, Ying Li said straightforwardly: "Okay, I will go with you, don't try to leave me."

I was a little hesitant, thinking about sneaking the princess of the Green Empire to the Allied Kingdom of Etia, would Prince James send his second-ranked strong men to chase me down personally...

I can only say to Ying Li: "But the Royal Academy of Magic..."

Unexpectedly, Yingli said: "We can suspend school temporarily. I will ask my mentor Pamela Sage to write a letter of recommendation to the Aden Magic Academy of the Alliance Kingdom of Aetia. I can continue to study there."

I took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Ying Li, then we will leave tomorrow!"

Everyone, "The Mage of the Age of Magic" has come to an end for the time being.

Originally, the original setting of this book was the story of the three protagonists striving to be the best in the tide of the magical age, the mage, the knight... I will not reveal it later.

Next, I will probably rest for ten days, or about two weeks, and then start writing the knight chapter, hoping to use a different perspective to bring you more exciting stories, at least not so many settings.

Well, there should be some epilogues later, and many pits still need to be filled.
