my age of magic

Chapter 239 39. Life in the Marketplace
Carrying a gray square cardboard box with one hand, inside is a gray magic robe for magic apprentices. This kind of robe woven with silk is said to have the effect of preventing rain and dust. Only apprentice mages of Zhanzheng College are eligible to wear this Luxurious garments made of fabrics.Now it lies quietly in the gray cardboard box, and I carry it in my hand in a low-key manner.I looked at the gate of the college in front of me, and at this time there were still people guarding the gate.

The children who had awakened the magic pool walked cheerfully and rushed out the door impatiently. No matter boys or girls, they were all wearing gray robes of magic apprentices.The girls are still a little reserved, and you can see the brilliance on their smiling faces, their hard work and Annai's own excitement, and the smile always covers her lips.Colorful and beautiful long hair is blowing in the wind.

But those boys are not so peaceful, they are like dozens of gray mice suddenly appearing in the square, swarming around in a panic.Like me, they are not very familiar with this strange college. For such a short distance, these over-excited teenagers, like a group of headless flies, passed by my side repeatedly, but never tired of it.

I walked slowly on the tree-lined road of Zhanzheng College, as quiet as a girl, and the boys passing by me invited me: "Hey, Jijia, don't you want to be here and have fun Run for a while? After tomorrow, we may not have the chance to be as presumptuous as we are now!"

"Oh! Your name is Jia! You acted very cool just now. I have never seen the headmaster lose his composure like this. Good job." Some people even ran to my side and praised me a few words.

More people stood behind me, pointing and talking about me.Those rumors always spread very fast. In front of Godfrey, the dean of the Magic Academy, I mustered up the courage to tell him my thoughts, but I didn’t expect that I would almost pass my anger on him. I was a little annoyed, I should have known I will not speak so honestly, maybe I can be a little more tactful, maybe I can say something: Dear Mr. Dean, please allow me to go home and think about it.It's much better than being pointed behind my back now. They always think that if I don't look back, they have no way of knowing what they are saying behind me.

This unintentional mistake made me the most mischievous child in the eyes of this group of magic enlightenment teachers.

I walked a little slowly because not long ago, I received a roll of paper from Morayal, which said: See you at the gate of the magic school!
Even those girls had already walked in front of me, I looked down at the road under my feet, hesitating whether to look for other exits in the campus, maybe I should ask the seniors.Many seniors from the Junior Warrior Academy chased those gray figures with slightly envious eyes, but no one noticed me, because at this time I was still wearing the clothes I had when I came out of the house in the morning.

"Are you thinking, should I go out through the main gate? Am I a devil? Or a beast, making you so afraid of me?" Morayal suddenly jumped out from the bushes, with half a locust tree hanging on her hair Leaf, there is a scent of fragrant soap on her white and beautiful face, she should have just washed her face, her white teeth are biting her lips lightly, she is wearing a floral skirt, her straight and slender legs are very Bai Nen, she looks like my big sister next door, smiling and blocking the road in front of me, with her hands on her knees, she bent slightly and stared at me.

I was startled by Morayal who suddenly came out from behind the bushes, and I was speechless by her question. I was a little embarrassed, so in order to get rid of this embarrassment, I quickly said: "I am Thinking about how much pocket money you have in your pocket, I heard people say that when you ask a girl out, you should at least bring enough pocket money to buy soft drinks and flowers."

"Ha, I didn't expect you to speak so humorously. I thought you were just a wood-like elm head, but having said that, you made the teachers of all departments remember you thoroughly this time. At that time, I really felt that Gothe That old man seems to have fallen from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley all at once, that must be a very special feeling!" She didn't dare to speak too loudly, as these words were heard by others, she didn't know what kind of disturbance it would cause .

"I didn't expect you to have such a good talent, you can learn two magic skills of fire and ice at the same time." Morayal praised me.

We walked on the tree-lined road naturally like this. Morayal, who changed into a linen floral dress, looked more like a senior school girl. She raised her head and looked at the school gate that was full of people in the distance. , I really didn’t have the courage to go out from the school gate with me when there were so many people. Morayal pointed to the wooden leisure bench on the grass beside him and said to me, “Shall we go and sit down?”

She nodded slightly, and the atmosphere was awkward for a moment. I didn't know what to say to her at this time, or I had to say a lot of comforting words, scene words, and perfunctory words in an old-fashioned voice. Obviously, I didn't want to do this.The atmosphere afterwards was a bit dull, I talked less and listened more, and Morayal seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

At the beginning, she kept talking about what happened after I separated from the Mo Xiang team that night, and then she talked about the Jingyue Aili guard camp in Yuhu Lake, surrounded by those Celtic tribe barbarians who were ambushing here , At that time, there was no ability to break out.But at the most critical moment, he was saved by a young magician.Later, the Moxiang team also devoted themselves to the operation of sniping and killing the barbarians, and they didn't care about me.

Her tone was very sincere, and she made a deep self-criticism, tactfully admitting that she should have stood by my side at that time.In short, all that needs to be said has been said.The wind blew through the woods, reminding the whole forest of a rustling sound. She was silent for a moment, preparing to tell me something very important.

I knew what she wanted to say, but at this moment I panicked. To be honest, I was not mentally prepared for that aspect. I told her in a panic: I'm going home.

At this moment, Morayal breathed a sigh of relief, and I think it must be difficult for her to speak.

In the end, I asked her how she became an assistant to the magic teacher of Zhanzheng College, and she replied with a smile: "May I say that it is the blessing of Goddess of Luck..."

She sat on a bench and quietly watched me slowly walk out of the college gate.

...beautiful dividing line...

At the gate of the school, Tracy was nowhere to be found. I heard from her that she had a big class this afternoon, or she would go to her Western Sword Club to practice swordsmanship with those club members. She is very similar to Ryan, Even hobbies are similar.At this time, there were not many people at the gate of the school.

I was a little hesitant about whether to spend ten copper coins and find a carriage to go home.

There are a lot of carriages in El City, and there are several carriages waiting at the gate of the War College. These open carriages are very cheap, and the compartments are very spacious. Usually, they can carry four to six people. These carriages are carrying In the process of visiting customers, they will not only do business with one customer, they will walk slowly along the established route, and all the children who walk in the same direction along the way are his customers.

Obviously, I wanted to keep my pocket money and was going to buy some, and after weighing it up, I decided to finally give up riding a carriage.Go back along the way you came, pass through the streets of the wealthy area around the city hall, cross the Inner River Bridge, and cross a few unfamiliar streets before you can get home.

When I was walking on the Neihe bridge, there were several calls from under the bridge: "Jia, Jijia! Long time no see!"

I stopped to avoid the sound and looked over. There were a few teenagers in tattered clothes next to the stone pier under the bridge. Looking at these familiar faces, I immediately felt very friendly, and we have never lost contact.Although their clothes were shabby and torn, they were clean.

The leader, Tai Luo, is very, very burly. He is wearing a yellow sheepskin armor that is quite broken. Strong muscles are exposed from the cracks in the leather armor. the taste of.He looked at me with a sunny smile and waved to me.

About five years ago, when I first came to El City, I was still so unfamiliar with everything in the city. At that time, I didn’t even know where to find a bite to eat. They helped me settle down, Give me a hot soup to drink.Until now, I still can’t forget that on that rainy day, I walked down the street like a homeless stray dog. I didn’t know where I could go in this long and cold night. I began to miss Pa In Yi Gaoyuan, the negative emotions that were usually accumulated in my heart began to move around. On that cold night, it was Taylor who lit a fire in my heart.

At that time, they had already stayed in El City for a long time, and they had already adapted to this kind of free wandering life. The places they often haunted were the garbage dump and under the Kernel Bridge, and on the piers under the bridge. A few simple shacks were built, and this was their rhetorical place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Now Taylor has recruited a few young people who like freedom and an unfettered life in addition to his good brother Munksey.When I am free, I often bring some food to them, so I am very close to them.I hurriedly stood on the bridge, pressed my hands on the stone handrail of the stairs, poked my head out, and said to Taylor under the bridge: "Hi, Taylor! What have you been up to lately?"

"Haha, recently I have taken a fancy to the No.13 street in the East District, and I want to grab the whole street!" Tai Luo proudly said to me with his legs spread apart, his hands on his hips and his head up. .When he looked up at me, his eyes suddenly became very sharp, and a strong murderous aura emanated from his body. The originally innocent smiling face had become a bit ferocious.

"Do your daydreams!"

A loud roar came out beside me, I turned my head to look, a group of adult gangsters suddenly appeared a few steps away, the fat man at the head licked his belly, and said to Tai Luo under the bridge with a full face of hatred "You little brats, you really don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes! How dare you come to my territory to make trouble, brothers, come down for me and tear down the huts of these ignorant brats!"

There are more than [-] gangsters composed of these adults. They have various skin colors, but they are all wearing simple leather armor. Rows of iron rivets are riveted on the armor, which looks a bit like heavy metal. .

They had hammers and mountain axes in their hands. Before I realized what was going on, those people rushed down the stone steps beside the Inner River Bridge.

It was not an evenly matched battle at all. The attacking side had more than 30 capable thugs, and the five young men who were beaten up all over the place didn't have any strength to fight back.Among them was Taylor, whose body was as strong as a bison, who also held his head and fled in a panic under the pier.

Both Tai Luo and Munksy are battle-tested gangsters, so they naturally knew that they had to escape for their lives in this situation, but because the new recruits had no self-protection ability at all, Tai Luo repeatedly rescued them. Those thugs saw the right opportunity, kicked him to the ground, and smashed him with a stick. His whole body was like a gourd of blood. He could only curl up into a ball, hold his head tightly with his hands, and endure the severe beating.

I was terrified watching it on the bridge. Fortunately, the leader at the side saw that I was a gentle boy and glanced at me suspiciously, but he didn't make any drastic moves. Luo drove these gangsters away, but if I jumped, would I be beaten to death by those sticks?

In desperation, I saw a security inspector from the security office sitting in a gazebo not far from the street, so I quickly ran over to him, intending to seek his help. If this group of people did not stop, Tai Luo and Munksy are probably about to be beaten to death by these gangsters under the Neihe bridge, and I don't want to be their body collectors.

So I thought the security inspector ran and yelled, "I killed someone, I killed someone!"

The security inspector in the distance saw me running like him, so he stood up from his seat and kept pointing at me.

The leader who was standing on the bridge and watching the battle under the bridge became anxious, and quickly shouted to the gangsters on both sides out of breath: "Stop him quickly!"

How dare I let these people catch me, and run like hell in the direction of the sheriff. I ran over in three or two steps from a distance of more than 200 meters. I was full of hope for help, facing the sheriff They shouted repeatedly: "There is a fight over the Neihe bridge, if you don't go, someone will be beaten to death."

There was no smile on the magistrate's gloomy face, he kicked me who was flying over, and kicked me to the ground. All feel pain.And what surprised me even more was why the sheriff kicked me like hell.

At this time, the sheriff said to the leader of the gangsters who were chasing after him: "Didn't you say that this matter can be dealt with? Why did the people who returned them come to complain..."
