my age of magic

Chapter 199 199. Montetroya

"Jia, I heard that the Wind Chaser Adventure Group has been disbanded? A few days ago, I saw Tia always wandering alone on the streets of Gludin, seeing him alone, I really feel sorry for him, let's go In the end, I didn’t expect that I didn’t even have to be friends, and later I heard that he returned to the Grimm Empire by airship at the airport.” Kurz sat on the ridge of the stone house and talked about Tia, sighing.

He lay on the gray tiles, put his hands under his head, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and asked me a little puzzled: "Jia, tell me, why do you humans have so many businessmen? Does everyone like money so much?" ? I always feel that losing so many friends, even if I get those magic crystals, what's the use?"

In Kurz's heart, there are always many questions that he can't figure out.Old Kuru once said to me: The world in the eyes of orcs is not what I see in my eyes.Money has almost no color in their eyes.

Sitting on the wooden ladder, I was a little absent-minded. During the day, Sister Guoguo and Qianbach had not come back since they went out, which made me a little worried.The two female beast warriors were used to sleeping in the dark. They were lying on the wooden bed in the stone house, and their even snoring was very clear in the silent night.I said to Kurtz: "Everyone thinks differently. You are not him, so naturally you don't know if he is happy. I heard that you have been selling those corpse oils for a while? How are you selling?"

"Jia, those vermicelli were bought by Steward Leypas at a high price. I never thought that those...can be eaten like this, and they taste so delicious. The price of those vermicelli is actually cheaper than the freshest one in Gludin's market. The unicorn beef is even more valuable, and those merchants have been asking what kind of plant the vermicelli grows from, haha, it’s really funny!" Speaking of these, Kurz always seemed to be very excited, sitting up happily, and using his hands Comparing with me.

I turned around and lay down on the wooden ladder, looking up.Say to Kurtz: "Next time if a businessman asks you again, you can show him the demonstration as I said!"

"Ah, if those merchants know that our vermicelli is made of..., will anyone pay a high price for it?" Kuz asked me in surprise.

I lowered my voice and said: "You can choose the most expensive wheat flour in Gludin, and then make the method of extracting starch more complicated, and show them that those wheat flour can also filter out some starch, but at a cost It’s quite high! Then you can tell them that these starches are made from those wheat flours, but the process of how to make vermicelli from starches should be as vague as possible during the demonstration, so as not to let too many people see it.”

"Even if those merchants know how to extract starch from wheat flour, it's useless. It is estimated that no one can afford vermicelli made from such expensive wheat flour!"

Kurz nodded after listening to my instructions.Then he told me another very troublesome thing, that is, those corpse fire oils that we think are very easy to sell are not cared about at all. Occasionally, after some hunters come forward to inquire and hear the expensive price, they are also Choose to leave.

Kurz said to me: "Those hunters are very resistant to those corpse fire oil. They are very sensitive to the smell, and they don't like the smell of corpse fire oil! These days, only some human merchants bought a few oil stoves out of curiosity. My elder brother said that the Gludin Council of Elders is going to provide a batch of Fire Lin bullets to the fortress, so there should be no worries about the sale of these corpse fire oil, but there is no need to refine so many corpse fire oil at Drowning Po!"

"Maybe it's a little too expensive!" I guessed that in such a catastrophic year, even the orc nobles would not spend too much money if they had spare money. Everyone would like to exchange all the coins at the bottom of the box for food. I think maybe after the famine is over, the sales of corpse fire oil will be better.

I thought for a while and said to Kurtz: "Otherwise we are like this, you can take those beast warriors to hunt the one-horned bison, and make their meat into jerky, meat floss, and tendon, where you can hunt Cooking, bring the convenient oil stove into the wilderness, and slowly the hunters will accept it! Oh! By the way, it is said that the fine iron ingot brought back from the dwarf kingdom by the steward Leipas can be made into tinplate. With tinplate, we can also make canned beef and meat! Well, yes! It is to pack the cooked meat in an iron box, seal it and then cook it. Such a tin box can be stored for a long time without breaking. I even have a name for them, let's call them luncheon meat, and call them this..."

"...you have to keep this method in mind. Canned food is a must-have product for marching or traveling. It's delicious!" The topic of our conversation changed from refining corpse fire oil to gourmet food unconsciously. On, we always have a lot to talk about in this regard.

The night was covered with a layer of gauze, and the wind blew, bringing clouds like gauze and tents.A silver moon rises to drive away the flickering stars.The lights of thousands of houses in Gludin Town were extinguished one by one, only the bright street lights on the main street were left, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.

I don't know when the two of us fell asleep. I'm afraid that when the two beast girls wake up, they will find me sleeping on the wooden ladder, but I really don't have any consciousness at all. The sleepiness is so sudden , I always feel like someone is whispering in my ear, his voice is just in the period of voice change, a little hoarse and sharp, but his tone is very impetuous, as if talking to me, and as if speaking to himself Said to himself: "My upright seventh uncle, without your help, he can only be a reckless hunter. Even if he has more brilliant achievements in the future, he can still only become a hunter king." , and I am the new king who can finally inherit the will of the entire blood wolf clan orcs. I am the eldest son of my father Kurt, and I am the first heir to the throne. Without you, my uncle will only bring those remote beastmen People go hunting everywhere..."

I opened my sleepy eyes dimly, and found myself lying in an unfamiliar environment. Specifically, it should be lying on a rectangular stone table. The cold stone took away the little heat in my body. After thinking about it, it was so cold that I shivered several times.

This is definitely not the small stone house behind the parliament hall, and I did not sleep on a wooden ladder, and Kurtz beside me disappeared without a trace. I thought I was dreaming, so scared that I quickly closed my eyes again. When I opened them again, it was still them. My heart sank to the bottom.

Coolio, the eldest son of Chief Kut was standing beside me, and he was whispering softly, recounting my mistakes: "Why did you and Uncle Seven go to the North Foot Wilderness? You know you came back from there? Beastmen, how many people are praising the deeds of the two of you, saying that the Yagui beast is a desert ship on the northern foot wasteland, and a sage who spreads hope! But you are so young, and the other person is my seventh uncle !His achievements and reputation are even stronger than my father in the eyes of those poor people, why no one has ever talked about me? I am the first heir of the Blood Wolf Clan in Gludin Town, it is me, me! Leo!"

"The beast god is still favoring you, and even the beast god favors you two, and let you find a way to make salt..."

I had come to my senses, slowly opened my eyes, stared at Coolio, and said calmly, "These are the reasons why you betrayed me? You revealed my residence to this respected liger elder?"

Coolio never thought that I would wake up completely at this time, and his face turned pale with fright. It turned out that he was just talking to himself. Seeing me staring at him, he turned his head to the lion in shock and anger. The tiger elder lowered his voice and asked: "Didn't you say that he would at least sleep until dawn, but why did he wake up now? Once my great-grandfather... oh no, even if my father knows about this, I will be completely finished, you do you know?"

Following Coolio's gaze, I looked at the liger elder coldly. Even though he was completely hidden under the cloak, I would never admit his special aura.I don't have time to pay attention to this orc boy who does things without thinking. He is a spoiled orc boy, and he can't find the best qualities of orcs.

I turned my eyes to the side, and looked at the person standing quietly in the cloak by the moonlight. The two captivating eyes, one red and one blue in the hood, were staring at me greedily. The concealed hatred permeated from his eyes. For a moment, I didn't know why he hated me so much, but it was clear that Coolio had no ability to sneak up on me while I was sleeping. , brought me here from the stone house, I tried to twist my body, only to find that the whole person was trapped on the stone platform by a chain.

"The first time I saw you, I felt very familiar. I met a group of wilderness bandits on the northern foot wasteland with Kurtz..."

The liger elder didn't hide his identity when he saw that I recognized him.He directly stretched out his dry hand and lifted the cone hat on the cloak, revealing his old face, his two eyes, one red and one blue, looked extraordinarily terrifying under the night.He didn't hide anything, and directly admitted: "You're right, the two ligers you met are my children, and Beveron was brought down by Beverkuli. In fact, when I was in Guru In the hands of a human weapon dealer in Ding Town, when I saw the two exquisite giant sabers, I knew something might have happened to the two children!"

"Whether you believe it or not, I will tell you that even if you killed Beverly, I will not hold any censure against you! They chose to take that path of no return, and they should consider the serious consequences , if I wasn't their father, I would be the one who punishes rape and eradicates evil in the wilderness at the northern foot of the foot!" The liger elder said to me, and I had a feeling that he was telling the truth at this time.

He continued: "Later on the outskirts of Gluding Town, Beverkuli lured the gray dwarf robbers here just to avenge Beveron. Do you really think those wolf cavalrymen in the western wilderness are so incompetent? Even hundreds of Didn't the gray dwarves even know they were approaching Gludin? If I hadn't stopped those reports, those gray dwarves would have been torn apart by the wolf cavalry long ago, but I didn't expect you two children to bring a lot of weapons The orc girls, who have never taken it before, were able to completely annihilate those gray dwarves. This is beyond my expectations!"

"Are you arresting me because I killed your son?" I asked the liger elder, because I didn't see Kurtz, and it seemed that I was the only one who was arrested.

But I heard the liger elder ask me: "No, I brought you here, I just want to ask you, who took the 'thunderbird feather' from my daughter?"

"You? Rengar... It's actually you, you stole the 'Thunderbird Feather' from our showroom?" Coolio widened when he heard the elder Liger say this. closed his eyes and questioned the liger elder loudly.

It was as if the liger elder said excitedly: "I'm just looking for a birthday present for my daughter, my only daughter! And that feather should belong to me, it's mine! I just It is to get back what I should have. I heard that you drove her to a corner, and you killed her in the end."

At this time, I finally figured out something completely. It turned out that the thunderbird feather lost in the Kurz family castle was actually stolen by the liger elder Rengar. Although I don’t know how he stole it, look at it. Seeing Coolio's surprised look at this moment, it was obvious that this matter was a secret.Coolio's eyes told me that Rengar's stealing the "Thunderbird Feather" was as unreliable as the harpies being the daughter of the liger elder Rengar.But that's the only way to make sense, why does the snow-white harpies leader have that 'thunderbird's feather' in his hands.

"That child is the daughter of me and Josephine, the leader of the previous generation of harpies. Unfortunately, she has completely inherited Josephine's bloodline, but she is not like me at all. She can only be a harpies, but she But she is very talented. She is a natural wind whisperer and can communicate with wind elements. She has begun to gain wisdom, so she will often restrain her tribe from attacking orcs on the wasteland. In recent years, there have been few killings around Yelangya Mountain. As her reward, I gave her a 'Thunderbird Feather' that should have belonged to me on her birthday. She is a very nice child who usually lives in secluded places, but you actually killed her! You know it hurts you! How hateful? I will tear you to pieces..."

The liger elder had already pulled out a sharp dagger from his pocket, looking at him as if he wanted to chop me up and feed it to the dogs.I sighed, thinking to myself that I had already killed a son and a daughter, such a big vendetta could not be resolved anyway, I tried to silently cast the "cloak of shadows" and escape through the night.But lying on this stone platform, the magic power in his whole body seemed to be imprisoned, and his whole body was completely unresponsive.

"Rengar, that's enough... After paying such a high price, I finally see you, hello, my child, my name is Montetroya, you can also call me Master Monde, welcome to my I have been waiting for 20 years for this ceremony. I thank the almighty Goddess Celine for guiding you to my side. I will spend my whole life fulfilling my promise and let the glory of Goddess Celine spread all over the world. In every dark corner of the world..."

At this time, a cold voice came from the darkness, like the piercing sound of scratching glass with metal, but this voice condensed into orc language, which made people's bones sore after hearing it.After he recited a long set of eulogies, a magic circle of hexagrams suddenly lit up around the stone platform, and I was lying on the stone platform in the center of the magic circle.

Large magic crystals are placed on the six points of the six-pointed magic circle, and the continuous flow of magic elements converges along the magic circle to the stone platform below my body. Mage Montetroya is wearing a black magic robe, The entire magic robe is embroidered with intricate magic patterns with fine gold thread.

He stopped the liger Rengar and walked over slowly.I was finally able to see him clearly. He turned out to be the mysterious magician from the Starry Adventure Group. At this time, he was comforting the elder Rengar of the Liger: "I promise you, I will kill him, but That needs to wait until the ceremony is over. It has already taken me 20 years to find such a child who is born with magical talent, and I don’t have another 20 years to wait. After the matter is over, I will put the eagle I'll tell you where the Banshee is, but it's a pretty bird, and it doesn't look like you at all!"

"Roar!" Rengar let out a muffled roar from his throat, forcing the magician Montetroia back half a step.

At this time, Montetroja was not annoyed, he raised his hand slightly to signal Rengar to calm down, and then said solemnly and solemnly: "I promise to tell you, and I will also give you a sum of money and a new identity , of course there is also a ticket for the airship, you will go to the imperial capital to look for the lost granddaughter, haha ​​I can’t imagine that a liger actually has a daughter with wings!"

"No one wants to watch your evil and bloody sacrificial ceremony. You tell me the whereabouts of my granddaughter, and I will go to him immediately, and I! I have fulfilled my promise!" The liger elder had no intention of giving in at all. .

Montetroja reached out and took out a magic parchment from his pocket, threw it directly to Rengar, and said indifferently: "The details are all written on it, and I will give you this..." The magician took another Throwing the gold coins in the pocket to the liger elder Rengar, he gave him a deep salute and said, "I wish you a faster trip to the Grimm Empire!"

Rengar took the magic parchment scroll, didn't even look at it, waved the bag of gold coins to the ground, turned around and left without even saying a word.His figure slowly disappeared from my sight, and Coolio at the side saw Rengar, the elder of the ligers, turned and left, and he also panicked and wanted to follow Rengar away.

But it's too late to leave now.

"Purify his soul thoroughly, Fireball!"

What kind of fireball is that?I was lying on the stone platform and saw Montetroja waving his hand and raised a cloud of fire, which directly wrapped Kurio who was about to flee. Montetroja didn't even lift his eyelids, as if killing an orc It's as simple as swat a fly.At this time, Coolio seemed to be strangled by someone's hand, and he couldn't make a sound.

The cloud of fire directly attached to the surface of his body, burning little by little, his leather armor, the exquisite crystal buttons on the leather armor, the dagger at his waist, hair... body... bones... Little by little is burning, but this group of flames has no sound at all.

The last time I saw Coolio, it was his bones that were burning violently under the raging flames, not the flames bursting out from the cracked bones. It didn't take long for Coolio's whole body to become A pile of ashes.

Montetroia sighed and said, "What a poor kid!"

He turned around slowly, stared at me with eyes like a poisonous snake, and then pulled the corner of his mouth hard at me, showing a smile uglier than crying, and said: "Finally figured it out, when I was on Xinghu Grassland , why every time I see you, I feel weird and make me feel uncomfortable!"

"Haha, it turns out that there is magic power in your body. It's hard to imagine how you store magic power without the magic core, magic pool and magic heart in your body. However, I'm not in the mood to study these now. I'm in Pai. I have eaten sand on the plateau for more than two months, and I hate this place! It is better to hold a sacrifice ceremony to deprive you of your magical talent, and calm down to prepare for a full-time trial. Speaking of which, meeting you is my luck Really good!" The magician of Montetroja took out a magic wand from his arms, swung it arrogantly, and the iron chains on my body fell off.

And my whole body seemed to be in the water, a strong buoyancy held me up in the air.

I thought that if I lost the shackles of the iron chain, I would regain my mobility, but obviously I couldn't. The whole stone platform was like a piece of blue crystal, which actually lit up, and countless magic lines formed a three-dimensional shape on the stone platform. Magic pattern circle, I have never seen such a complicated magic circle.

At this time, I heard the magician of Montetroja standing next to me and whispering to me: "You will see the greatest mysterious magic in history, but the name of this magic is very ugly, at least it is not so full of art. We magicians call it: 'Blood Deprivation Technique', which is also the 'sorcery' that outsiders often talk about!"
