my age of magic

Chapter 528 26. Poor Relatives in the Countryside
A sudden spring rain filled the capital with hazy colors. The cold wind and rain fell on the stone slabs, splashing small sprays.

Pedestrians on the street outside the glass windows are hurrying, and gorgeous magic caravans frequently pass by the door of the restaurant. The imperial capital is much more prosperous than Sluit and San Carlos. On street corners and squares, almost There were no beggars to be seen, and even some servants wore exquisite silk clothes. Most of the shops on the street had bright and clean windows, and the fresh green branches that had just sprouted were washed by rain, and their colors became more vivid.

The stone slabs laid on the streets are all hard granite. These huge granite rocks have been polished smooth and flat by masons. There are almost no gaps between the stone slabs. Rainwater flows into the ground along the gaps between the stone slabs. Less than a little standing water.

Luka sat on a bench under the rain-proof eaves outside the restaurant, staring at the distant Wangcheng alone in a daze. The double-edged ax stood on the back of the bench. The blade of the ax was polished very sharp by Luka. The strong muscles were exposed underneath, and the rain splashed on the ground soaked his trousers, and he stretched out his hand to catch the rain outside without realizing it, with a leisurely look as if he was full and had nothing to worry about.

On the dining table next to the window, there are four pieces of fried antelope meat. The sauce on it is very delicious. Only the surface layer of the devil antelope meat is cooked, and bloody water will appear when you cut it with a knife. The meat is very delicious. , very much to my taste.

Every piece of mutton here is cooked very well, but I know that the orcs definitely don't have so many spices that can be seasoned to make the magic antelope meat so delicious.

I was thinking, this high-end restaurant with the plateau flavor of the orc tribe must not dare to put the original fried antelope meat on the table. Not everyone has the courage to eat the food cooked by the orcs.

The main reason why this restaurant is so popular is that they use real magic antelope meat. Although it is some frozen meat brought back from the Pai Plateau, it is at least real magic antelope meat. Another point is that they used the orc tribe The flavor caters to the curiosity-seeking hearts of the people in the imperial capital, but the real taste has nothing to do with the orc tribes. This is the authentic cuisine of the imperial capital.

The so-called orc-flavored gimmick is nothing more than frying the mutton to medium rare.

Ying Li, who was sitting across from me, barely ate the fried meat on the plate. She just drank a little cream soup. Seeing that I had eaten the fried lamb on the plate, she pushed the portion in front of her to In front of me, he blinked his eyes, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "My fried meat, you can help me eat it, I don't like the taste of this sauce."

"Okay." I cut the fried meat with a knife, stuffed it into my mouth three or five times, and swallowed it.

This is a dining table for six people. Becky is wearing a set of exquisite crystal lion leather armor that fits very well. She sits beside Ying Li. She keeps her head down and eats seriously. There are exquisite patterns carved on the leather armor, she turned her head and glanced at Ying Li, her eyes clearly asked again, "Why don't I know that you don't like the fried antelope meat here?"

Ying Li's face was slightly red, and he secretly gave Becky a look. Seeing me looking over, he hurriedly bowed his head guilty and took a sip of ale.

Helena was sitting beside me. Her beautiful face hadn't changed in three years. On the contrary, she was a bit more mature. She was wearing a plain long thin leather dress. It fell on me inadvertently, those eyes, which were as clear as lake water, had a different expression, the blonde hair was rolled up, and the jade face was exquisite and flawless.

Helena bit her lip, took a peek at Su who was sitting on the other side of me, and then said to me: "Su hasn't been this happy for a long time, you should have come to see us earlier, the Academy of Magic has two sessions every year." During the long vacation, we were confined in the imperial capital, so you never thought about coming to see us?"

I was a little speechless when I was asked. In fact, I was a little too paranoid about this matter. I have been immersed in the preparation for the final exam of the Royal Academy of Magic in the fourth grade. I did not expect that Teacher Heidi gave me a letter. A letter of recommendation and an application for admission sent me to the imperial capital casually, but I had no room to resist, because the matter was related to the awakening of Guoguo's soul.

Su was wearing a white priest robe, with a faint smile on his face. The side opening of the white priest robe revealed a round and beautiful leg. You can't see the seams at all, which is clearly a pair of real legs.

During these days in the imperial capital, Su seems to have gained a lot of self-confidence. If it was before, if I peeked at her beautiful legs like this, even if Su was not annoyed, her face would turn red with embarrassment, but now Su is completely I didn't care, but deliberately pulled the skirt of the sacrificial robe, so that the slits of the skirt revealed more round and beautiful legs, and smiled crookedly, and said to me: "Don't just meet, like Ying Li Just like those male students in the magic academy, they wish their eyes could grow in girls’ skirts, a magician should have the demeanor of an aristocratic gentleman, shouldn’t he?”

Instead, I was blushed by Su's words. Su's figure is still so slender, but his complexion is not so sickly pale, and his complexion is much rosier than before. It seems that during the time with Ying Li, Su's body It has improved a lot, and her personality has become much more cheerful. Before, she always liked to immerse herself in a world of one person. Sometimes, I even felt that I was really her only friend.

Now it seems that Su's life is going very well. She regained the power of the holy department, regained the skills of 'holy light' and 'prayer', and followed a great scholar with the power of the holy department , learning the use of sacred spells, just looking at her wearing a pure white sacrificial robe, one can tell that she must have learned a lot of sacred spells.It turns out that these spells are not only in the hands of the great priests in the temple.

Just when some emotions arose in his heart, a group of young magic apprentices wearing black cone hats hurried into the restaurant from outside the door. While discussing academic issues about magic loudly, they drove straight into the restaurant. Several people lifted the cone hats on their heads, revealing young and immature faces, with proud smiles at the corners of their mouths, found a round table and sat down.

Behind the young magic apprentices was a group of retinues in light armor. Among them were knights, warriors, swordsmen, and archer rangers. They all seemed to be professionals who had successfully advanced to the status of apprentices. There are quite a few people with a strong aura, they have this faint murderous aura on them, you don't need to guess that it is a group of people who have just walked down from the battlefield, and their hands are stained with the blood of aliens, so they will have that kind of fierceness. breath.These people also found a table at the side one after another, and sat down without saying a word. The strong aura of these people made the voices of the diners around them drop a lot.

Several waiters walked over cautiously and quickly, asking the group of young people what they wanted for dinner.

Becky looked up and glanced over there, frowned slightly, pouted and whispered, "Hey, Quentin's group is here!"

"Let them go. We're almost finished anyway. Wait until I get a carriage. It's raining outside!" Helena gracefully cut the last piece of meat on the dinner plate, chewing hard, her big eyes wide open. Keep sweeping out the window.

Becky straightened her body, her tight body seemed to break through the tight leather jacket in the next moment, she stretched out her hand to pull up the long curly hair like seaweed on the back of her head, and then said to Helena: "Let me go, It's raining outside!"

Ying Li sat there calmly, but didn't express anything, just asked me curiously: "Ji Jia, do you have any plans for coming to the imperial capital this time?"

I put down the knife in my hand, wiped my mouth with a napkin, and said, "Let's work hard to finish the studies at the Royal Academy of Magic and Magic, and at the same time, I will follow the Yerkes scholar and be his assistant. I want to be a Scribe."

"Then have you figured out which direction to focus on?" She asked me curiously, and then added: "For you, it is easier to become a scroll master! But this is precisely what Yerkes scholars least want. What he is good at, he is better at designing magic pattern structures, but he has some unique experience in some magic skill combinations."

I feel that Yingli has become a lot more mature, and her quiet aristocratic temperament has nothing to do with her appearance.

When Ying Li asked me, I realized that I had never thought about these things. I just wanted to become an inscriber, and now it seems that I think a little too simple.

She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then helped me analyze and said: "It doesn't matter which path you want to choose, you have a good talent for magic, and you are born to be a scroll master who is good at making magic scrolls. There is still a long way to go to become a builder who needs to study the structure of the magic pattern circle, who can independently design the magic pattern structure, or the most mysterious magic pattern master."

I thought about it, and said to Ying Li seriously: "I will definitely not stop in front of the scroll master. I have learned some rough leatherworking techniques, so I am very interested in designing magic pattern structures. I really hope to be able to Draw the magic circle on some leather armor, and then give the leather armor new attributes, I think this is very fulfilling."

"Then become a construction designer, Yerkes scholars have a lot of experience in this area!" Ying Li encouraged me from the side.

But I seemed a little hesitant. After a pause, I glanced at Su beside me and said, "However, before, someone hoped that I could become a magic pattern master after becoming a magician, so I haven't made up my mind yet. In which direction is it going to go?"

Ying Li curiously looked at Su who was sitting opposite her, the expression on his face clearly meant to say to Su, "Why do you want Jijia to become a magic pattern master?" '

Su's face turned red all of a sudden, it seemed that she couldn't change her shy habit after all.

Su looked very innocent, looked at me aggrievedly, and then complained, "I don't have any!"

She turned her head to stare at me and asked, "Jijia, when did I talk to you about the magweave master?"

In fact, I just watched Sister Guoguo walking in the rain outside the restaurant. My journey as an inscriber was precisely because of a joke she said on the Xinghu grassland, which made me have an obsession in my heart.

"Your sister said it!" I couldn't help it, so I told Su the truth. I thought I should tell Su the story of me and Sister Guoguo. After all, Su has grown up now.

"Does Annie want you to become a magweave master? No wonder she rejected the suggestion of the inscription master Lindbergh in El City to tattoo her a power circle. It turns out that she is waiting for you..." Su blurted out , and then suddenly realized that he shouldn't reveal this in front of Ying Li, and quickly covered his mouth again, looking at Ying Li pitifully with big watery eyes.

Ying Li smiled slightly, and she didn't seem to care. The graceful temperament on her body seemed to pluck the strings in my heart all at once.

Helena next to her didn't know what to think at this time, her charming eyes seemed to be dripping water.

"In short, I graduated from the El City Academy of War Magic ahead of schedule. Although I didn't learn the fourth-year courses, it seems that in the junior magic academy, the fourth-year students don't have much new knowledge. For us, the most The important thing is to turn your magic pool into a magic vortex, and officially become a magician." I put my hands behind my head, sat on the chair and stretched, Su and Helena sitting on my left and right I dodged my head to the sides, avoiding my outstretched arms in disgust.

Ying Li pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, and said to me: "But you did it, didn't you?"

"Well! At this stage, I just want to learn some new things in the Royal Academy of Magic, broaden my horizons, and then follow Yerkes scholars to lay the foundation for my career as an inscriber. In fact, if possible, I would like to stay In the province of Sluyte in the north." I said to Yingli.

Ying Li asked casually: "Then, what's the reason?"

I said: "It's easier to accumulate noble achievements over there. You don't think that Prince James, the commander-in-chief of the Southwind Legion, would look at a magician nobleman with a third-class baron in a different light? If a young and promising The magician Earl fell in love with a certain princess, so it is easier for everyone to accept it!"

"Why do you care about his opinion?" Ying Li's face turned red all of a sudden, and then he said in an inaudible voice: "That's my own business, you only need to care about what the princess thinks That's it."

After saying this, Ying Li's face turned red all of a sudden.

"The carriage is coming!" Helena's voice interrupted the conversation between Yingli and me.

I looked out the window of the restaurant, and Becky was sitting in a magic caravan, poking her head out and waving to us.

The four of us got up one after another, and were about to walk out of the restaurant, when we heard a sullen voice behind us saying, "Hey, Ying Li, which country bumpkin is this ragged magician from? Is it a poor relative of the family?"
