my age of magic

Chapter 526 24. Northerners in the Imperial Capital
It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Mrs. Alicia's caravan drove into Yulin Avenue.

A few night watchmen extinguished the street lights one by one on the quiet street. There were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a carriage passed by. There were exquisite buildings lined up on both sides of the road. It was a building structure with brick and stone walls mixed with wooden doors, windows and roofs. Each building is built with at least three floors, and those exquisite round arched doors and windows are carved with exquisite patterns, some are plant vines, some are figures and landscapes, or some gods in temples.

On the square square at the intersection of the street, there is a fountain in the center of the pool. Countless drops of water fall from the sky, forming a beautiful rainbow under the reflection of the rising sun.

The broad streets were lined with linden trees, some of which had already sprouted buds in the early spring.

Rejecting Mrs. Alia's kind invitation, I jumped out of the magic caravan in the morning light, stood by the road and waved goodbye to Mrs. Alia. Mrs. Alia stuck her head out of the car window, a little bit reluctantly Looking back at me, gently waving a white silk scarf.

Looking at the direction of the magic caravan going away, I took the tauren Luka and stood outside the mansion at No. 56 Yulin Street, and rang the doorbell above.

After a short time, the footsteps inside the door gradually became clear, and the door painted with brown paint was slowly pushed open. A middle-aged maid in a long gray dress with an apron on her chest said to me in a questioning tone: "who are you looking for?"

"Oh, does the Yerkes scholar live here? I am his student, and I came to El City!" I said to the middle-aged maid standing on the steps of the door.

The middle-aged maid did not invite me in directly, but said to me apologetically: "Please wait a moment!"

Turning around, she closed the door, and the sound of footsteps faded away, and quickly disappeared behind the door.

……

Scholar Yerkes sat at the dining table with his messy hair like a chicken coop on his head. He seemed to be in good spirits. Although his eye circles were a little swollen and he looked a little sleep deprived, at least he had shaved. , There is only a faint cyan stubble on the chin.

He was wearing a blue and white striped pajamas and a pair of soft cloth shoes, sitting on a mahogany armchair, his face couldn't hide his joy.

Scholar Yerkes couldn't wait to say: "Oh, Ji Jia, it's great that you can come to the imperial capital early, continue to be my assistant, you don't even know how stupid those magic assistants in the institute are, I've already Enough of them, you help me!"

I was eating a piece of fried egg with my head down. It tasted very delicious. It is said that this is a chocobo egg. This bird that can fly in the desert is a low-level earth-type monster. Although their running speed cannot catch up with The magic antelope, but its stamina is 9, it is difficult for a demon hunter to catch these wind-like chocobos in the desert. When they encounter danger, they will call wind and sand to bury themselves in the sand.

Many hunters like to search for their nests in the desert and look for the eggs laid by these chocobos. It is said that eating these delicious chocobo eggs can change the physique of magicians. When I was at the Academy of War Magic, I heard that Mentor Tobyin said, but this thing is extremely scarce, and I have never seen it in a store in El City.

I reached out from the basket on the dining table and took out a piece of white bread, took a bite hard, then drank a big mouthful of fresh milk, and said to Yerkes: "Of course I'd like to, but I still have to go I don’t know if the learning tasks of the Royal Academy of Magic will be too heavy.”

"Hey." The Yerkes scholar smiled reluctantly, then his eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and said to me: "The Royal Academy of Magic has relatively loose magic courses for you freshmen. There is plenty of time for meditation, and you can make the most of that time."

I thought to myself: Yerkes scholars are implying that the course should be very busy!

Through the glass window of the restaurant, I saw Luka the tauren sitting on the lawn in the backyard eating sweet corn, while Sister Guoguo was sitting by the pool, quietly looking at the The magic pattern circle on the metal rune board of the water gathering technique. Recently, Sister Guoguo's water elemental spirit has begun to comprehend all kinds of the most elementary water element magic pattern circles, and the familiar picture also appeared on her lower abdomen. The pattern of the primary water system augmentation circle.

What I'm most worried about is that one day, her spirit of water element will suddenly have its own independent thinking, and her incomplete soul will disappear.

"Yeah." I agreed.

"Last time I wrote, you have some new ideas about the 'Ice Wall Art'? Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with water and ice magic. Can't Heidi help you answer this question?" Yerkes swept the plate away like a cloud. He swallowed very quickly, and after swallowing the last bite of food, he asked me a new question.

Last month, after I finished hunting the barbarians in winter, I had a feeling for my ice wall technique. At that time, I didn't know that I could come to the imperial capital so quickly, so I wrote a letter to the Yerkes scholar. A letter, I wrote some new views on the Ice Wall technique, but I haven't waited for Yerkes' reply, and I didn't expect him to mention that matter.

The Yerkes scholar mentioned that, and that brought me right into the subject of magic.

I began to discuss some of my views on the 'Ice Wall Art', and I said to the Yerkes scholar: "I don't have any doubts about this ice magic, I just think that when making a combined magic pattern construction, you can follow the The independent magic patterns for the actual application of magic, split the magic skills into several modules, take the magic skill 'ice wall' as an example, I can break it down into three parts: 'water gathering', 'shaping' and 'ice freezing' Steps, you can also draw very layered magic runes on the magic pattern structure..."

The Yerkes scholar is a workaholic. When talking about magic runes, it is easy to enter the state of ecstasy. I began to talk non-stop about the past two years, when I was drawing magic scrolls and making magic rune boards. , When encountering some difficulties, Yerkes will always explain to me the real reason of this problem in a concise manner at this time, and he will always look at those magic runes with a unique perspective.

He only needs to simply point out where the problem is, and then I will have a feeling of enlightenment, as if my breathing has become smoother all of a sudden.

We don't notice the passing of time at all.

Until the middle-aged maid came over again and said to the Yerkes scholar: "Sir, the Institute of Magic has sent someone to inform you that you have a very important magic seminar at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I told you not to forget to attend. "

Yerkes frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and said to the middle-aged maid, "Since it's an afternoon seminar, just let me know when it's noon."

"But...it's almost noon now, do you need to prepare lunch at home?" The middle-aged maid probably knew that Yerkes had a bad temper, so she said in a tactful tone.

Only then did Yerkes notice that the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and his face softened, and he said with a self-deprecating sentence: "This time flies so fast, I don't feel anything, and half a day has slipped away."

Then he scratched his messy hair with his hands, and said to me: "Have you been insisting on drawing magic scrolls recently? If you want to become an excellent inscriber, it is essential to practice drawing magic scrolls constantly. Making magic Scrolls can not only allow you to master the magic pattern circle proficiently, but also deepen your understanding of the magic pattern circle. If you want to become an inscription master, making scrolls is indispensable!"

"I take some time to draw magic scrolls every day, and now it has become a habit to make magic scrolls every day!" I looked out the window lightly, and Luka was lying on the lawn in the backyard and fell asleep at this time. Life is really monotonous And boring!

"Have you found a place to stay? You can live with me until the boarding school is settled!" It was rare for Yerkes to care about my life a little bit.

This visit is coming to an end, I don't want to live under the same roof as this workaholic, maybe he will suddenly have a new idea while I'm sleeping, and then pull me out of bed To come out and work on his new vision with him, that would be terrible.

So I stood up and said to the Yerkes scholar: I want to report to the Royal Academy of Magic first, and if there are no accidents, I will choose to live in the Academy of Magic.

After hearing my answer, Yerkes didn't feel any surprise, and just nodded lightly.

Not long after, I got up and said goodbye to the Yerkes scholar. There are still many things to do today, at least I have to report from the Academy of Magic.

When I was about to leave, the Yerkes scholar leaned against the marble pillar at the door, squinted his eyes and said, "I didn't expect Heidi to give you a letter of recommendation. She is really good to you as a student!"

I looked back at Yerkes in astonishment. I never thought that such a recommendation letter from the Royal Academy of Magic would be so precious. Now that I heard what the Yerkes scholar said, I realized that maybe I really thought about it. It's a little too simple.

"Jia!" the tauren Luka noticed that I was distracted, and called out to me in a low voice.

"Huh?" I woke up and walked down the stone steps of the mansion with him.

"What do we have for lunch?" the tauren rubbed his belly and asked me with a silly smile.

……

As the setting sun set, the huge floating mountain above the head was coated with a layer of gold, and a veil-like cloud shrouded the royal city. Those gorgeous palaces were reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, as beautiful as a fairyland.

In the lowest part of this floating mountain in Wangcheng, several waterfalls flow straight down from above, like a white stream, and the splashing water vapor forms a beautiful seven-color halo on the lake.The white waterfall falls into the large lake in the center of the city day and night.

Such a city in the sky covers an area of ​​nearly hundreds of hectares. Almost any space on the Fukong Mountain has been built with exquisite palaces, gardens, pavilions and pavilions. Looking up, the king city There is one of the tallest palaces in the complex, and I guess that Charles the Great may have lived in it.

More than a dozen Griffin Knights hovered around the royal city, and the imperial capital's air-forbidden circle didn't seem to have any effect on the Griffin Knights.

The imperial capital, the entire city is located on the crater of Mount Majaro. The huge urban complex encloses a huge lake of hundreds of hectares. The lake as beautiful as a blue emerald is the lake of life for the people of the imperial capital.

……

The Imperial Capital Junior Academy of Magic and the Royal Academy of Magic are just separated by a wall, but they are two completely independent magic academy.

The former is a junior magic academy affiliated to the Royal Academy of Magic. This junior magic academy will train some outstanding magic apprentices every year, and then send them to the Royal Academy of Magic. At the top of the junior magic academy, many nobles will try their best to send their own family's children with magical talents to study in the imperial capital's junior magic academy, in order to have a greater chance of entering the Royal Academy of Magic in the future.

The latter is the highest magic education institution in the empire, and the Royal Academy of Magic is the holy place in the hearts of all young magicians. Almost all the young magicians in the magic academies in all provinces of the Grimm Empire have God's desire to study.Thousands of new magic apprentices are born in each province of the Green Empire every year, but among these thousands, only more than 100 can obtain the admission notice of the Royal Academy of Magic.

It can be seen how precious the admission letter of the Green Royal Academy of Magic is. I really don't know what method Heidi used. There is actually a letter of recommendation from the Royal Academy of Magic, and she is flipping the white magic sheepskin in her hand The dark red seal on the paper clearly indicated that this was a special admission notice from the Zhang Green Royal Academy of Magic.

Thinking of the experience of reporting at the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic in the afternoon, I realized that I was not the only special case. There were several young magicians with letters of recommendation in this afternoon, but I didn’t have time to talk to them too much. Instead, after the report from the Royal Academy of Magic, after confirming his dormitory, he rushed to the gate of the Junior Academy of Magic without even having time to take a look.

The gates of the two magic academies are far apart. The main entrance of the Junior Magic Academy is on Xiangxuehai Street, while the main entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic is on Minghu Street.

I was sitting on a roadside bench opposite the gate of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy, smelling the fragrance of tree oil wafting from the wet branches of the nearby bushes, a faint and smug smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, thinking that I would see you later Ying Li, the anticipation in his heart is like a crater that has been suppressed for a long time and may erupt at any time.

Pedestrians on the street looked at me and Luka from time to time, while the tauren Luka sat cross-legged on the grass next to me, not paying attention at all.

I don't feel that I am different from others, but the pedestrians passing by me can't help but look at me more, which makes me think that maybe it's because I didn't wash my face in the morning.

Looking at the passing pedestrians, a magic apprentice wearing a novice magic robe hurriedly passed by. He also glanced at me curiously, with a strange look in his eyes, but because he was in a hurry to hurry, he lowered his head to cover it up. His surprised look.

I rushed up to stop him. Seeing someone blocking his way, the young magic apprentice glared at me and asked, "Why are you blocking my way? Your Excellency the magician who came to the north."

There was no awe in his tone.

"How can you tell that I came from the northern border?" I asked curiously.

"Only magicians from the north would like to wear this kind of thick magic robe... Isn't it?"
