my age of magic

Chapter 423 219. Followers

A round of curved silver hooks hung high in the cold night sky, that kind of cold light cast a layer of snow-like light on the entire city of El in the midsummer night.

Even though there is still the warm evening wind that makes people's body a little sticky, lying quietly on the rattan chair in the small courtyard, shaking the round fan woven with reed leaves, is an extremely comfortable feeling. thing.Maybe there is a bowl of cool red bean smoothie on the small wooden table next to it, or a glass of golden cider with ice cubes.

In this small border town, more citizens like a slow-paced life. They know better than me how to enjoy this beautiful and short life.

The carriage stopped on the streets of the East District, and the tauren Luka jumped out of the carriage, and the bluestone slabs on the surrounding streets were shaken heavily. He turned around honestly and wanted to help me off the carriage, but was stopped by my eyes. I leaned on the railing at the door of the magic caravan with one hand, and jumped down lightly. Although I was wearing a magic robe, my body was not inflexible at all.

Benjamin poked his head out of the car window and waved goodbye to me and the tauren. I stood there and couldn't help sighing: This is really an unforgettable night!
"Jia, I don't think it's wise for you to trouble the half-elf Nicholson at this time!" Benjamin squatted on the carriage worriedly, admonishing me who jumped off the carriage and stretched my waist by the side of the road. , along the way, he was trying to dispel my idea.

Seeing that I didn't answer with a smile, he knew that his persuasion was useless, so he stopped talking further.

However, after he finished admonishing him, he immediately praised me again: "However, having said that, Ji Jia, your ice wall is a newly learned skill? Now even those seniors in the fourth grade of your Magic Academy, I am afraid Not many people learn three kinds of magic skills at the same time, how can you brat rely on your affinity for ice to learn ice magic so unscrupulously, you are not afraid of affecting your own magic pool cultivation, a first-year magic apprentice You should spend this semester constantly breaking through!"

I said lightly to Benjamin: "You know, there are always one or two magic apprentices with special circumstances. In the initial stage, it is not so necessary to rely on meditation to reach the realm!"

Benjamin seemed to be satisfied with my answer, he retracted his head, just stretched out a hand from the car window and waved at me, and the voice came lazily from the caravan: "Suddenly I am looking forward to the adventure with you in the summer vacation, Jia, maybe that will be an unforgettable trip!"

Looking at the carriage slowly going away, I said softly in my mouth: "Thank you for tonight's matter!"

I patted the tauren Luka, who was looking at the golden apple tree in the courtyard across the street, with my hand, and motioned him to follow me. He swallowed hard and looked away with difficulty.

With a body height of nearly three meters, he is obviously a huge monster on the street. The courtyard walls on both sides of ordinary streets are like half-length walls to the tauren Luka. panoramic view.But the focus of his eyes is more likely to fall on the fruit trees in the courtyards of each house, looking at those green and sour apples, drooling non-stop.

Even though the magic caravan is tens of meters away from us, I can still hear the conversation inside the carriage clearly...

"Benjamin, why are those freaks always showing up in your college?" One of Benjamin's friends said to him.

On the contrary, the voice of the coachman at the door came to my ears. His voice was a bit hoarse. He seemed to have never spoken much during the journey. At this time, he actually commented on me like this: "Another outstanding person." Water-type magic apprentices, it seems that in recent years, there will always be outstanding water-type magic apprentices frequently appearing in the magic academy in El City."

Benjamin's guard team is really everywhere. Such an ordinary coachman would speak in such a loud tone. I don't know what to say.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that there would be such a genius among the freshmen of the School of Magic!" Benjamin's friend continued.

Another friend said: "Yes, fortunately we have become friends, Benjamin, why don't you try to bring him into your team, although there is already a magician in your team, but no matter how many more A water-type auxiliary magic apprentice, the strength will increase exponentially!"

The carriage turned a corner and merged into the avenue at the intersection of the street, and their whispers in the magic caravan slowly disappeared in my ears.

"Jia, where are we going?" The tauren followed me and asked me in the orc language with some hesitation. His words were full of caution. I have suffered a lot.

On his hairy chest, some criss-crossing scars could be clearly seen. After the collar that symbolized slavery was torn off, there was a faint bloodstain on his neck.I don't know how he was tricked from the wasteland by those slave traders. Every tauren is kind by nature, and they are even more attached to their hometown.The slave traders were very afraid of the revenge of the wolf orcs, and they rarely dared to attack the wolf orcs.

For slave traders, there are two kinds of orcs in the wasteland that are more popular with human nobles than wolf orcs. One is the powerful tauren. When they grow up, their strength will even be stronger than those on the ice and snow tundra The savages, or the ogres in the Wild South.The other is the centaur with amazing endurance. For a centaur who runs faster than a galloping horse, they are born elite cavalry. Even the dominant werewolves on the wasteland were amazed by those people.

"Of course I will bring you home, to our home!" I looked up at him sincerely. Now I am only as tall as his waist, and it is very difficult to communicate with him at close range!

"Go home..." the tauren Luka stared at the Pai Plateau in the distance.

"Of course, you are free now. Maybe tomorrow I can find a caravan in the city that intends to trade in the wilderness and let them take you home." I smiled and said to him, his simple and honest appearance reminded me of I lost those two tauren on the wasteland, and those beautiful days lingered in my heart again.

But he shook his head dejectedly, and said to me awkwardly: "I don't want to go back like this!"

"Oh?"

To be honest, I was a little surprised when I heard Luka say that. I looked at him suspiciously. I still know a little about the belief of the tauren. I don't understand why he doesn't want to go back to the wasteland.

He sat down across from me so that he could be at eye level and talk without too much effort.

"I want to feel the wind that is different from the wilderness, I want to taste all the delicacies in this world, I want to see the mountains and rivers that are different from the scenery of the wilderness, Jia, I want to travel around the whole continent!" Luka the Tauren Tell me sincerely.

His eyes were very sincere when he looked at me, and seeing his simple and honest appearance, I couldn't help saying to him: "If you can have enough patience, then wait for me and explore this continent with me! "

Hearing what I said, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the fire of hope in his eyes was slowly being ignited by me.

"But before that, you have to make yourself stronger!" I said seriously to the tauren Luka: "The outside world is far more dangerous than the city of El, we must have enough strength to protect ourselves!"

For the tauren, the way to increase their own strength is very simple, as long as they keep eating, they can become very strong.

Luka thought for a while and said to me: "Okay, I want to explore this continent with you! Jia."

I put my hand in his big furry and very warm hand.

...beautiful dividing line...

When Fanny opened the door and saw two hairy thighs outside, she almost fainted from fright.

At that time, she must have imagined the tauren Luka as those barbarians on the ice and snow tundra. In her impression, only barbarians have this kind of behavior.Tracy heard Fanny's call, and ran down the stairs wearing a cool suspender dress. When she saw Fanny's pale face holding on to the door, she stared fiercely at me outside, Luca looked innocent. Sitting next to me timidly, looking at the hostess here.

After Fanny took a breath, she listened to me tell about the tragic experience of this tauren Luka, and found that this simple and honest tauren was not as bad as ordinary people said, and his temperament was simple and honest, so she warmly invited him stay.Of course, when telling what happened, I simply said that we met in the underground boxing arena, and that Luka himself won the match and gained freedom. He was released on the spot by the kind slave owner, and the slave contract was also torn up on the spot. .

Leant came out, but he kept marveling: Luka's body is really strong enough.

But for Luka, my house is too small, and our family had to move the dining table to the yard. We sat on chairs, while the tauren could only sit on the grass.

Fanny looked distressed, and took out the last basket of bread sticks. Seeing that the tauren Luka was still eating with gusto, she knew that he was not full. These breads were our family’s food reserves for a week, and he could eat them all in one meal. After eating, the bread sticks that are usually enough for our whole family to eat well, for the tauren Luka, can be stuffed into his mouth in just three or two bites.I don't know how this guy was treated at the slave owner's house who ran away, and he was so hungry.

But this simple and honest tauren didn't even mention the word 'hungry' before the meal. I thought to myself a little bit, I was really negligent!
Fortunately, the tauren are vegetarians, they don't eat any meat, otherwise, Leant and I would really be hungry.

The meal was very harmonious. The Greens did not think that the tauren were of the same kind as those fierce orc werewolves. Ni and Lente have no objection to dining at the same table with Luka. Tracy Yao watched Luka nibbling the bread with great interest, which gave her the illusion that the bread made by Fanny today is not Very tasty?So she curiously cut a small piece with a silver knife and put it in her mouth... Frowning, she took a sip of the broth before swallowing the bread in her throat. It wasn't delicious!
There were some strange noises by the courtyard wall, Leant and I were the first to turn our heads to look over.

Bing from the neighbor’s next door poked his head out from the edge of the fence, and smiled awkwardly under the eyes of Leon and I. His exaggerated expression always made me think he was like a clown, really not Knowing how he survived on the battlefield, when we looked at him puzzled, he suddenly raised a hand with difficulty, holding a cloth bag of wheat flour, which was bulging.

He called me softly: "Jijia, come and pick one up!"

"Bin, what is this?" I hurried over, took the bag from his hand, and asked him through the wall.

The wall between our two houses is a bit high, and I have to kick my feet to catch the heavy cloth bag.But Bin didn't speak at this time. He seemed to be peeking at Tracy. On a midsummer night, girls would wear cool clothes when they were at home. Of course, Tracy wouldn't mind being stared at by the tauren.

"Ahem!" I coughed twice, if Tracy finds out, Bing will be miserable.

Everyone knows that the girls on our street are not easy to mess with. Whether it's Sister Dali, Tracy, or Annie, they all have very hot tempers. If you count them like this, Tracy is the gentlest among them. It’s just that this guy has a strong sense of justice, and he has been instilled with some terrible thoughts by Leant, which is the kind of thinking that he will never give up his companions no matter what on the battlefield. Sometimes, I think: fortunately Tracy is a girl, so she doesn't need to go to the battlefield, otherwise these old-fashioned ideas of Leant will kill my god-sister.

Having said that, Tracy's temper is also very bad, at least she doesn't like Bing very much, it's not that Bing is playful, but that he is sometimes not a big man.

Bin just came to his senses at this time, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he just said vaguely: "Well, this is a bag of bread. Dali saw that a special guest came to your house, and thought it might be something from your house. Maybe there won't be enough bread tonight, so let me bring these over and treat your friends well, I'm going back!"

"Bin, thank you, and thank you Dali for me!" I hurriedly said loudly to the back of Bin who was leaving in a hurry.

Bing just raised a hand to signal that he heard.

The bread in the cloth bag is very mixed, there are all kinds of bread, black bread, wheat cake and so on. I think that sister Dali may have taken out all the food that can be eaten in their kitchen in a hurry.

Sitting on the chair, Fanny sighed and said, "That child, Dali, is really a careful person!"

Whenever Fanny praised other girls, Tracy would shrink like a quail, and if there was a slight disagreement, Fanny would face tons of fire.

The tauren Luka is not picky about food, but he prefers brown bread with coarser grains to the finely ground and fragrant white bread. He said that brown bread will be chewy.

Well, for the first time, I questioned the taste of tauren. Black bread is made of black flour mixed with bran. How could it be better than white bread?But judging by his expression, it doesn't look like he's telling a lie.

At night, Luka the tauren can only sleep outside.According to Fanny's idea, even if she sleeps outside, at least one big bed should be moved out, so that Luka can have a good rest.

This proposal was opposed by Luka and I. Tauren generally like to sleep on the grass, and they can sleep peacefully when they look up at the stars. In summer like this, a simple straw mat is enough.

Fanny and Liont went to bed early, and Tracy and I lay on the ridge of the attic looking at the star charts in the sky, and Luca lay on the grass under the house.

On such a quiet night, I told Tracy how to distinguish the star map in the sky. I didn't expect Luka to understand the star map. That's right, the tauren are nomadic tribes in the wasteland. How could they not understand the star map!
