my age of magic

Chapter 50
The seven of us sat around a simple dining table, and there was still sauce red and viscous soup from crystal elbows on the plate. Katerina held the plate with one hand, and held the silver knife in the other. The sliced ​​braised hoofs were shared on our plates, and I frowned and asked Kuz, who was sitting opposite me: "Az, why is it all meat? Are there no fresh wild vegetables around here?"

Kuz was obviously a little dazed by my question, and hesitantly said: "Is it bad to eat meat?"

Yes, orcs like to eat meat. I shook my head helplessly, then raised my head and said to Katerina who had just finished sharing the braised hoof, "Hey, can I have some more noodles, please?"

When the ridges on the west side swallowed the last rays of the setting sun, and the dark shadows swept the whole valley with a cold wind, our dinner was over.Sister Guoguo and Qiangbach were the first to leave. I think once a woman falls in love, my little oily bottle becomes less important.She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, quickly got up and walked around the dining table, kissed my forehead lightly and whispered in my ear: "Stay well here with Qige, after all, it is much more comfortable in the caravan than on the back of Thunder Rhinoceros." Now, the red-haired chick looks good, and she's good at taking care of people."

I think the relationship between her and Janbach has developed very quickly, especially after coming out of the valley of death, the tacit understanding between the two has increased a lot. Now, I will always see Sister Guoguo's snow-white and tender cheeks with a touch of bright red.I pouted and stared at her dejectedly, thinking: Don't always put happiness on your face like this, making people jealous and hateful, okay?

Jambach naturally walked to me and waited aside.After thinking for a while, he said to me: "Do you want to resume practice tomorrow morning?"

I was about to readily agree, when I saw Sister Guoguo's powder fist hanging directly on Qiangbach's shoulder, and said: "What are you practicing? His injury has only been healed for a few days, and he still has to torment him."

"Thank you for the sumptuous dinner. I like the stewed chicken vermicelli dish. The dishes of the orcs really have a unique charm, which makes people feel very enjoyable. Thank you again!" Qiangbach is always so polite, and he turned away after speaking. Sister Guoguo left.Sister Guoguo held Qiangbach's arm calmly, and the two walked straight to the camp of the adventure group.Is it really spring?
Seeing someone leave, Singer took a cautious look at Qige who was sitting next to me and was cutting a small piece of pork chop with a silver knife. Seeing that Qige was concentrating on the movement without even raising his head, he took a deep breath and pulled Uncle Fred, who was sitting on a chair beside him so stretched that he could barely speak, left in a hurry. Looking at Uncle Fred's clumsy appearance that was out of breath just after two steps, a drop of cold sweat dripped from my forehead.Don't these grown men and women know how to cover up?
Walking all the way from the Xinghu Grassland, there are not many places with such clear water sources. The entire caravan has been saving water along the way, and there has been a water shortage for a while. Fortunately, Thunder Rhino is far more resistant to hunger and thirst than camels. There is almost no need to add too much water on the road. Even so, the role of Guoguo's water magician is also reflected. The elementary magic of water gathering circle does not consume much magic power for Guoguo, but if there is no water system Magician, I think this long and water-deficient journey will cost a fortune to Master Leipas.

My mind drifted too far, so I quickly turned my thoughts back. Although drinking water was guaranteed, I felt that most people did not have the conditions to take a bath in the previous month and a half. Many men in the caravan After lunch, soaking like a hippopotamus in the icy stream, Singer left in such a hurry that he might have taken Uncle Fred to find a secluded place to take a bath.Every time I think that I might be called Aunt Singer in the future, I feel an indescribable awkwardness in my heart.At this time, I will sincerely admire the luck of this middle-aged uncle.

Kuz walked halfway when he saw the person, sat across from me and said to me a little unnaturally: "Grandpa hasn't eaten yet, I have to send some to him, put the pot and stove here first, and wait until it's completely cold. Take it back. Today's pork leg stew is very good."

I think Kurtz was very afraid of facing Katerina, and he didn't even dare to look at her more. I was thinking, could it mean that the spring of this innocent little orc has come?Kurtz also ran away in a panic with a pot of leftover stew.At this time, Katerina was still sitting on the chair on my left, eating the cold steak like a storm, Qige finally put down the knife in her hand, and poured the leftover pork chops into Katerina's plate, Staring at her, he said nonchalantly, "Are you not going to explain it to me if I don't ask?"

The flat voice hit Katerina's chest like a heavy hammer, causing her hand holding the table knife to tremble in fright, and the table knife hit the edge of the milky white porcelain plate, making two crisp "ding ding" sounds.His face turned pale all of a sudden, and he sat there speechless like a chilling cicada, like a child who has made a mistake sitting in a chair silently refusing to speak or bow his head.

Qige stretched out her jade hand like a white onion to caress my neck, which has long since disappeared. At this time, I was also carefully looking at the fiery red gemstone inlaid between her jade neck and collarbone. If you look carefully, you can see clearly I suddenly saw something slowly flowing like smoke inside the grape-sized ruby. Under the sharp contrast between the flame of the gemstone and the whiteness of the neck, I felt that something was attracting me and made my heart beat.

Everyone's life path is not destined to be smooth sailing, and you have to face choices every moment. These multiple-choice questions are the crossroads in your life. You can choose to go left or right. Once you choose, don't try to erase the answer. Erase it, even if you choose it again, the old answer will still be there, but you can draw a cross on it with a pen.

Qige and I sat face to face on the carpet in the rehearsal room on the second floor of the magic caravan. Qige frowned slightly. I wanted to ease the atmosphere, but was ignored.Katerina served us two cups of hot tea. The tea leaves are made from dried petals of Ningshen grass. After soaking in boiling hot water, they look like blooming flowers at the bottom of the white porcelain teacup. Ningshen flower tea With a faint floral fragrance, the taste is slightly sweet and bitter, which has the effect of relieving fatigue and calming the nerves.

Katerina put down the tea tray in her hand, knelt aside and began to tell her story.

It was more than a year ago, the caravan had just left the Black Iron City of King Stan, and the caravan followed the Thunder Rhino team across King Stan's territory and into the rolling New Siakis Mountains. It was already early winter at that time, because the dancers Many people in the troupe did not expect that the dance troupe would have such a suddenly decided journey, so the girls in the dance troupe were not well prepared. The most urgent thing was fur and cotton coats to keep out the cold. The area is so cold that splashing water turns into ice. Hiding in the caravan will not feel how cold it is outside, but as long as you stand outside for a while, the cold will make your hands and feet numb. This is the entire Roland continent except for ice and snow. The coldest place in winter outside the tundra, half of the year is covered with ice and snow, it is colder than the top of the Pai Plateau snow peak.

Katerina does not have many things to do every day. She is responsible for receiving food from the logistics vehicle every day, and receiving a certain amount of daily necessities every Saturday. Singer was originally responsible for this task, but Singer had some problems a while ago. After that, Katerina replaced Singer, and occasionally there were some small benefits, which made her so excited that she didn't sleep well for several nights.

Her outstanding appearance and figure make her stand out in the dance troupe. With her charming red eyes, she is valued by the seven mothers of the dance troupe. For her who was born in an untouchable family, it is definitely a privilege to be able to show her prominence in this dance troupe. Fortunately, there are many beautiful girls in the dance troupe. Basically, the untouchables who live in big cities want to find a way to send their beautiful daughters to the dance troupe. This is at least more honorable than prostitution. , maybe he will be favored by noble sons, and there is a precedent for leaving the lowly status after flying into the sky and becoming a phoenix.

But every time she received supplies, there was a problem that bothered Katerina, and that was the cold.Usually cats don’t have any special feelings in the caravan, but after they started to collect the supplies, they went a little late and were queued at the back. Katerina, who was wearing a palace-style winter dress and dance skirt, returned home with a bundle of towels and sheets. In the caravan, a pair of big white legs were frozen blue and purple. After returning to the caravan to warm up and drink, they were swollen like two big white radishes, and they couldn't even bend.Katerina was so frightened that she burst into tears. In the end, it was Singer who rubbed her two legs repeatedly with snow to open the frozen blood vessels and reduce the swelling of the two legs.

That time frightened Katerina. It would be nice to have a pair of leather cotton trousers to keep out the cold, as girls sometimes think.

During this period of time, it was more than three months after the caravan left the Black Iron City of King Stan. The noble children in the adventure group had been on the journey for more than three months and had no chance to meet women. The aristocratic youths finally began to attract the attention of the dancers in the dance troupe. The first ones to bear the brunt were the trusted maids of these big girls who could freely enter and exit the caravan every day. Moreover, these dozen or so dancers who were almost outstanding in appearance were hidden at the beginning. Behind the snow hill outside the caravan, he pretends to be an infatuated man. Almost every time he meets a dancer receiving a meal, he will throw a set of gorgeous and beautiful words on it, and present some exquisite small gifts when the other party is dizzy.

All right!The angel responsible for rescuing Katerina was the young Dai. This handsome young man gave Katerina an exquisite bell for the first time. The pure gold hollowed-out round bell contained a primary fire stone. You can feel the warmth from the Fire Essence Stone when you hang it on your waist. It can be said that it is the item that most appeals to Katerina at the moment.

Standing under a red pine, he was almost buried as a snowman by the mist falling from the pine needles, and the top of his head, eyebrows, and beard were covered with frost and snow.Katerina was shivering from the cold, with her arms tightly hugging her shoulders, trotting all the way past under the pine tree, and without paying much attention, she directly bumped into Dai's body. Suddenly, snowflakes flew, and Katerina was about to fall backwards , Dai stretched out his ape arms to wrap his arms around Katerina's slender waist, and brought her into his arms.
