my age of magic

Chapter 459 256. Hunting
Ziqing Mountain City is located in the mountainous area in the northwest of Sluyte Province, on the Taiyin Mountain Pass at the easternmost end of the Ziqing Mountains. The emperor of the Green Empire spent huge resources in order to defend against the ferocious high-level monsters in the mountains. A magnificent mountain city was built at the pass of the mountain. It was like a wedge driven deep into the mountains. This place has become the forefront of the entire Ziqing Mountains against the monsters in the mountains.

Standing on the side of the airship and looking down, in front of you is a majestic and majestic peak, like a big straight chimney, standing abruptly among the mountains.It is the highest mountain in the Ziqing Mountains, and the entire mountain city is built on the mountainside of the Xiongfeng that stretches into the sky. When the spaceship approached the mountain city, I realized that the mountain city built under the clouds was actually in the shape of a mountain. In a ring, various buildings piled up with countless stones completely surrounded the mountain.

All the buildings in the city are built according to the mountain. Behind the [-]-foot-high city wall on the mountainside, you can clearly see the various dwellings in the mountain city.

More than a dozen white-feathered lion eagles hovered over the mountain city. When they saw the airship approaching the mountain city, a lion eagle flew straight over. After clearing a large area, the lion eagle flew close to the airship, opened its wings suddenly, brought a gust of wind and landed directly on the airship.

This is the first time I have seen a domesticated ferocious beast 'Griffin' unique to the Grimm Empire. Its body is like a male lion, with wings on its back, and its head is no different from that of a hawk.The entire lion eagle is a circle larger than the one-horned bison, and its wings are seven or eight meters long.A knight in full-covered heavy armor is holding a spear and sitting on the back of a lion eagle. His armor exudes a faint magical atmosphere. I can still see the pattern of magic runes on it. The entire armor A large amount of magic red copper is mixed into it, making the armor look like a red copper luster.

The lion eagle landed on the deck, glaring fiercely at everyone on the deck, the knight calmed down the mount for the first time, and when the lion eagle calmed down a little, she jumped off the lion eagle lightly, Wearing a helmet with a visor, she walked directly towards the captain of the airship.

The captain of this airship is an old man with gray hair and beard. He is wearing a clean and tidy captain's costume and a unique captain's hat. He is very eye-catching in the crowd. He took out a voucher from his pocket and handed it to the female knight. The female knight took the voucher very coolly. After a brief glance, she gave it back to the captain of the airship. The leather saddle on the back, with a small leather whip, lightly hit the tail of the lion eagle, and the lion eagle let out a long neighing sound, the sound was sharp and piercing, and the four legs kicked hard on the deck, and the huge body flew into the air Then, the huge wings spread out quickly, flapping twice in the air suddenly, and the heavy body carried the female knight in heavy armor and flew away far away.

"They are the knights of the Griffin Knights of Ziqing Mountain City!" Seeing my confused look, Benjamin stood next to me and explained to me: "Every airship that arrives at Ziqing Mountain City needs to accept the Griffin Knights of the Mountain City unconditionally. The right to land at the airport will only be granted after the regiment's inspection, and the identity verification is required. This mountain city is still under military control, and the highest officer in the mountain city is Viscount Kryton of the Seventh Division of the North Wind Army."

Annie, who was standing beside me, watched the female knight fly into the clouds enviously, and the airship continued to fly to the airport on the edge of the mountain city wall.

The heroic figure of the female knight disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Randolph, who was standing beside Benjamin, said to me obsessively, "Jia, did you see that the female knight was wearing the real magic pattern structure just now! The entire set of equipment on her body was carefully crafted by blacksmiths using magic rune plates, and then the inscription master carved the most suitable magic circle on the formed armor. A good armor not only needs good The magic carrying capacity and magic conductivity, and the most suitable magic pattern circle needs to be engraved on it, if I can also make such an exquisite primary magic pattern structure, how great it would be!"

I heard what Randolph said, so I realized that the real magic pattern structure turned out to be like this. Sure enough, as Randolph said, making magic scrolls is just the most basic requirement for inscribers. The magic pattern circle is just another drawing method. The difference between the rune metal plate and the magic scroll is that the material of the former is magic metal plate, and the material of the latter is the leather of the beast.

"Finally arrived at Ziqing Mountain City, hehe!" the tauren Luka smiled honestly.

...beautiful dividing line...

The two teams came out of the airport and agreed on a meeting place ten days later. Leonard and Annie took the members of the Battle Spirit team and left on their own. After watching them disappear on the sloping street, I remembered that there were still some in my pocket. The Frost Scroll should be given to Annie, but they couldn't be seen in a blink of an eye, so they had to give up.

I stood at the exit of the airport and looked at the bustling people on the street, only to find that Ziqing Mountain City is much more lively than El City. Streets are built along the hills, and stone buildings are neatly arranged in row upon row. Most of the shops on both sides of the street are Warcraft material business firms, these firms are very distinctive, the specific business items are clearly written on the plaque, and the variety is also very single, this kind of single commodity business method is very popular in the northern province of Sluyte.

It is said that this is because the capital of each business is limited, and the price of these monster materials is generally very expensive, so these companies will purchase a single type of monster materials, and then carry out fine processing in the later stage before selling them.Throughout the summer, the hotels in the mountain city will be crowded with merchants who come here to trade, and there are also many hunters or adventure groups repairing and resupplying in the mountain city, so there are many hotels and restaurants along the street.

Senior Benjamin is a son of a wealthy and noble family in the city of El. Their family also has some properties in the mountain city. Someone has already taken care of the trivial matters of booking hotels and restaurants. At this moment, the servant is waiting outside the gate of the airport. , Seeing Senior Benjamin leading us out, we rushed to meet him.

There are many slopes in the mountain city, and there are very few flat stone roads that exceed several hundred meters, so it is not suitable for horse-drawn carriages. On the contrary, there are many travelers riding argali on the street. The locals here are also used to using those strong And the argali, which is good at climbing mountain roads, carries goods.

Mountain cities are different from the airports in other cities. The airports in other cities are usually built outside the city, but the airports in mountain cities are built in the corners of the city walls. Walking out of the airport directly enters the streets and alleys of the city.

That servant hired three argali loaded with goods from somewhere. He didn't expect that all of us in this group are from a very wealthy family. Everyone has a space belt, so there is nothing to salute at all, so this The three argali became mounts for transportation. The apprentice priest Mia, the magician Randolph and I were all arranged by senior Benjamin to ride argali. The other soldiers in the team had to walk directly to the hotel Yes, including Senior Benjamin.

That servant saw me for the first time, and maybe he had some impressions of other people. Seeing Senior Benjamin give me the right to ride the third argali, he also looked at me in surprise. I didn't care so much about his thoughts, my mind was already filled with that exquisite set of magic patterns.

The so-called real elites of the knights are those knights who have the magic pattern structure. In the Knights of the El City Guard Battalion, only the Grand Knight Commander of each brigade is eligible to wear magic armor. The magic armor on them is only It is just mixed with some magic metal, which has a slight effect of resisting magic damage, but it is at least one level away from the magic pattern structure. I think maybe only the leaders of the Knights of the Guard Battalion wear the magic pattern. It is a pity that I have never seen the qualifications for pattern construction.

But I can't imagine what kind of powerful team the Griffin Knights here in the mountain city are. All the knights are constructed knights riding a Griffin and wearing magic patterns.

I once heard Bobby say: Some noble families in El City have a certain amount of armed forces, and the number of knights is the only criterion for measuring how powerful the armed forces are.

At that time, when Bobby said this sentence, I was still indifferent to the word "constructed knight", but now I just glanced at it on the airship, and the coercion brought by that female knight is actually kind of sea-like. To me, there are only two words to describe the crushing illusion that Teacher Di gave me: "Powerful!"

She is really powerful.

At this moment, my heart became hot. Thinking of the encouragement that Sister Guoguo once gave me, and my talent in drawing magic pattern circles, I found that I had an incomparable knowledge of magic pattern construction. Burning thirst.

My super-precise magic perception allows me to easily control the magic engraving pen in my hand to carve the most ideal lines.

Yerkes also told me that the most basic requirement for becoming an inscriber is to be extremely proficient in drawing magic scrolls. A magician who can't even draw magic scrolls has no hope of becoming an inscriber.

"We'll be resting in the hotel tonight, and we'll head to our destination tomorrow morning. If there's something we haven't prepared, we'll have time to buy it if we find it tonight!" Senior Benjamin told me as he walked up to me.

I nodded, and only said silently: "Don't worry, senior, I'm ready!"

Senior Benjamin patted my arm and continued to walk to the next member. It can be seen that senior Benjamin became irritable after he arrived in the mountain city. He seemed a little excited, and his usual endurance went away. It seems that with a good leather armor, even senior Benjamin, who comes from a noble family, can't calm down after all.

I lightly kicked Argali's belly with my foot. Argali felt pain in his abdomen. He hurried forward two steps and caught up with Senior Randolph who was walking in front.

I have ridden this kind of mount in the wilderness, and I feel that it is much worse than the Gubolai horse in the wilderness. I heard that it is suitable for walking in the mountains. Rock climbing is its strong point. Unfortunately, the Pai Plateau is full of endless wasteland. The dwarf bandits brought the argali to the Pai Plateau, but they were unable to take them away. In the end, the gray dwarf bandits were defeated, but many argali mounts were left behind.Kurz and I once captured some argali, and finally sold them all.

"Senior Randolph, can the leather of the two-headed salamander be used as a magic pattern?" I suddenly thought of something, so I turned to ask Randolph.

Randolph touched his nose and said enviously, "Of course..."

In this way, we chatted all the way to the hotel.

...beautiful dividing line...

The morning on the west side of the mountain city always comes very late, and half of the city on the east side of the mountain city has already been bathed in the morning glow, but the sky outside the West City Hotel where I live is still not bright.We had already eaten the meal carefully prepared by the proprietress of the hotel early, and before the twilight dissipated, we hurried out of the hotel and followed a local hunter guide from the west gate of the mountain city .

After leaving the west gate of the city, I found a plank road outside the city that only allowed four carriages to run side by side. It meanders from the gate of the city wall on the north side of the mountain city to the depths of the mountains. In the wilderness, I don't know how many powerful beasts are hidden in this wilderness mountain.

Senior Benjamin walked in front of me, holding a map of the mountain city in his hand, and was constantly communicating with the guide.

Our group followed behind. There are ten people in the whole team. It is a comprehensive team of various professions. The number of the team is also controlled to less than ten people, which can ensure the flexibility of the whole team.In our group, the names of the members are: Will the Warrior, Ram the Assassin, Veblen the Archer, Andy the Ranger, Randolph the Fire Magician, Mia the Priest Apprentice from the temple, and two substitute members, Weapon Warrior apprentices Dick and Trenshu.

At the gate of the city, adventure groups like our team can be found everywhere, and they are all waiting here quietly to apply for a pass to leave the city.

When we walked out of the mountain city, the mountain roads were vaguely filled with members of the adventure group carrying packages on their shoulders, and there were also a few solo hunters.

Under the leadership of the guide, the routes we chose were almost all low-risk areas that had been trampled countless times. We walked through the mountains and forests for three days in a row, and we had already penetrated deep into the edge of the Ziqing Mountains.

Along the way, we encountered poisonous man-faced spiders and wood owls several times. Although these ogre beasts are not at the level of monsters, they also have some precious materials on them. In order not to affect the itinerary, we detoured a little. After escaping these prey, we walked to the edge of a stone valley. The team stopped and heard from the guide that we had reached the hunting valley this time...

　Recommend a new book "Doomsday Chat Group" by a friend who climbed the mountain of books. Hehe, I feel a little ashamed to say it. Although I write fantasy novels, I usually like to read the survival chapters of the Doomsday series. Suddenly, I found myself The taste of writing a book and the taste of reading a book are so surprising!salute
