my age of magic

Chapter 538 36. Research Institute in the Tower of Pride

A night of wind and rain, the peach blossoms on both sides of the street were blown into tender pink buds, and the vibrant spring filled the streets and alleys of the imperial capital.

The humid southeast trade wind brings the warm ocean current of the endless sea. It seems that overnight, the streets have lost heavy and dull winter clothes. Young girls are walking on the street, wearing short skirts and plush stockings. With a youthful atmosphere, people in El City need to wear thick cotton coats and wool scarves at this time of year, but in the imperial capital, a colorful sweater and a simple coat can go around the street.

The magic caravan mingled with the traffic on the street, and the tauren Luka sat on the luggage rack of the parking space, looking at the bustling street scene on both sides of the road with his big copper bell eyes. The tauren on the plateau felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

The carriage drove very fast, and Helena stretched out her hand to push open the glass window of the magic caravan, allowing the fresh and cold air to blow in.

Because there are two very important classes in the afternoon, Yingli has already returned to the Junior Magic Academy, Becky chose to stay with her, and Yingli asked Helena to accompany me to the place where the Yerkes scholars work - known as the imperial capital of magic The "Tower of Pride" where the guild headquarters is located, because I haven't seen it for a long time, Su also wants to go with me, but unfortunately she also has no spare time in the afternoon.

Su and Helena sat across from me. In three years, Su has grown up completely. She sat quietly in the carriage. If you don't look at her delicate and beautiful face, but look at her more and more mature The body will give me the feeling that Sister Guoguo is sitting opposite me. The unique aura exuding from her whole body seems to be carved out of the same mold as Sister Guoguo.

It can be said that Su is the combination of Sister Guoguo and Annie. She has the perfect figure of Sister Guoguo's tall and slender golden ratio, but her face is as delicate as Annie's, except that Annie has red hair, while Su has You are a blonde.

Every afternoon, Su would follow the great scholar to learn the magic skills of the sacred department. In the past three years, it has been rain or shine, and it has never stopped. On the double number of every month, Su will learn the magic of the sacred department with the great scholar.The monthly odd number will stay at the junior magic academy, and browse through the magic books about the shadow system in the library.

That university scholar once told Su: Su is the most talented girl she has ever seen, and the sacred magic power in Su's body is very pure. If Su can become a priest in the temple, Su will have great potential. I hope to grow into a great priest, but unfortunately, Su lacks interest in this, and is even a little depressed.

"Have you heard from Annie recently?" I asked Sue.

Sue nodded and said to me, "Annie writes to me every month."

"How is she doing in Qiyan City?" I asked again.

Su thought for a while, and then said: "She followed her teacher to join the city guard of Qiyan City. When she wrote last time, she said that she had become a second lieutenant officer, but she often went out to perform some special tasks. She and I Said that she lives a full life every day, she likes this kind of life very much, and every day she will work hard to prove her existence."

Su probably didn't quite understand what Annie was after. When she talked about Annie, she wasn't very emotional.

"Jijia, you said that Annie spends every day in Strange Rock City, fighting against the lizard people in the wild swamp. I really don't understand what she is thinking!" Su said to me angrily.

"Probably because I want to prove myself!" I said after thinking about it seriously.

"You really know Annie very well!" Su stared at me, then leaned in front of me and said to me in a low voice.

Helena on the side directly protested: "You two, please don't whisper in front of me, okay, you have to take my feelings into consideration!"

I smiled at Helena, and then asked Su: "Has she visited you in the Imperial Capital?"

Su shook his head, and said childishly: "She always says that she is very busy, and I don't know what she is busy with every day!"

Helena leaned on Su's body, put her arms around Su's weak shoulders, and said to Su Kai: "Of course, my sisters also have their own affairs, so it's impossible to always be by your side. Your sister Annie is much different than mine. Sister, I don’t know how many times better, my sisters either stay in the gorgeous castle all day to learn the etiquette of the nobility, or go out to participate in the balls held by various high society in the imperial capital, living extravagantly every day life, their souls and bodies will eventually rot away completely."

Su got off the car at the gate of a large mansion, stood on the steps of the gate, and knocked on the door naturally, holding up the hem of her long skirt. She was no longer the shy little girl she used to be.Now she is standing on the steps, she is so confident, with a sweet smile on her face, she still does not forget to turn around and wave goodbye to us.

The carriage slowly drove away from the gate of the mansion, and turned right at the intersection of the main street. The horsewhip in the hand of the coachman was whipped on the horse's buttocks, and he heard the neighing of the 'Xilulu' Gu Bolai's horse. The scenery quickly scrolled backwards.

……

The Tower of Arrogance is located at the end of Yulin Street. It is a landmark building in the Fifth District of the Imperial Capital. On the top platform of the tall and magnificent tower, a huge magic circle is supported. The magic circle exudes a strong magical halo. The abundant magic power condensed into a light blue halo and rushed straight into the sky, propping up a colorless and transparent magic shield over the imperial capital.

There are seven mage towers like this in the imperial capital, and there are seven districts in the imperial capital. Each area has its own distinctive landmark buildings. There are huge magic circles on the top of these buildings. These epic The super huge magic circle condenses a lot of magic energy, rushing into the sky like a beam of light, protecting the entire imperial capital under the magic mask.

There are a total of seven districts in the imperial capital, and each district is hardly smaller than Sloit City, such as the Grand Opera House in the third district, the arena in the seventh district, the temple in the first district, etc. At the highest points of these landmark buildings, there is a huge magic pattern array, which continuously sends huge magic power into the sky, maintaining the magic mask over the imperial capital.

The Imperial Capital’s Magic Guild, Magic Research Institute, the largest magic material trading market in the empire, the Alchemy Professionals Association, the Magic Pharmacy Union, the Magician Task Release Hall, and many other famous large organizations are all located in the Tower of Pride. I'm going to report to the Institute of Magic where the Yerkes scholar is located. I want to learn about the clues to repair the damaged soul as soon as possible, and I don't know how much information the Yerkes scholar has in this regard.

This seven-storey mage tower is one of the few high-rise buildings in the imperial capital. The huge and majestic tower is a hundred meters high. The circular tower made of marble looks like a huge bird's nest from a distance. Standing under the Tower of Pride, you can feel how big this giant mage tower is. It is completely comparable to a mountain castle built on the mountain. Standing in front of the Tower of Pride, if you don’t see its true face from a distance , it is hard to imagine that it is a circular building, and its arc-shaped outer wall tends to be straight at all. I can't tell how big it is to make the arc-shaped wall look straight, but it is certain , the Tower of Pride is as magnificent as a round city within a city.

On the relief marble walls depicting various magic wars, there will be a huge stone pillar with a diameter of more than five meters rising into the sky every 50 meters. These pillars are probably the main supporting pillars of the Tower of Pride.

Helena took Luka and me up the stone steps. At this time, we were overwhelmed by the majestic momentum of the Tower of Pride, and we were in no mood to joke.

At the gate of the Tower of Pride, the three of us were stopped by two middle-aged mages. The two mages, who were wearing pitch-black magic robes, had thin faces, their eyes were very bright, and they looked me up and down repeatedly. I kept groping for the magic badge on my chest, and one of them held a round stick made of black graphite and scanned my magic badge. After a long time, it was confirmed my identity.

The magician on the left opened his big terrifying eyes and said to me gently: "Welcome to the Tower of Pride, young magicians, every magician who comes to the Tower of Pride for the first time, I mainly experience what you have experienced, you are a member of our magic guild, here you will have some unexpected privileges."

I smiled and said, "Then can I go in?"

The magician got out of the way and said to me: "You are welcome!"

The tauren Luka followed me obediently, his face was a little pale, probably standing outside the tower of arrogance, shocked by the huge coercion of the tower itself.

Helena and I walked into the huge gate of the Tower of Pride first. I looked at the huge vaulted corridor of the majestic palace in front of me. The ceiling above the dome depicted the sun, moon, stars and the city in the clouds. I asked Helena: "Have you been here before?"

"Of course I've been here, but it's so big that I can hardly remember where I came from. Last time I accompanied Ying Li to buy a few bottles of magic potions. The magic shops here are very complete. The first floor here is the largest magic item trading market in the imperial capital." Helena blushed slightly, her shy look always made my heart flutter, she stood by my side, and softly introduced me to this magnificent Tower of Pride.

……

Walking into the lobby on the first floor of the Tower of Pride, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge and wide circular corridor. On both sides of the corridor are beautifully decorated magic shops. There are such patterns, and one can vaguely guess what it is about. These shops probably have many similarities with those specialty stores in the previous life, and they almost specialize in some single commodities.

These magic shops aroused my curiosity, because they are all potion shops, but the signs are quite different.One shop had a magic herb painted on it, another had a test tube on it, and the shop behind it had a bottle of potion on it.

I walked into the first magic potion store, only to find out that this potion store is specialized in selling magic herbs, and there are very few varieties. That is to say, her store mainly sells Ningshen flowers, and other herbal medicines are also available, but they don't have much in stock.

After searching for the next potion store, I realized that the test tube represents a magic potion processing shop. This is an OEM business that can produce various grades of magic potions, from junior magic potion apprentices to magic potion masters, as long as you pay enough. , you can invite someone to refine the potion according to your own mood.

The last signboard of the potion shop is a bottle of potion. When I walked into the shop, I was finally sure that what I thought in my heart was completely correct. This is a magic potion shop.

Finally, among the various shops, I saw a shop selling magic ink. I stopped in front of this shop, thinking that there was not much magic ink left on my body, so I walked in. Time was running out. Walking out of this magic shop, there are already several bottles of magic ink in the magic backpack.

Then I sent a whole box of scrolls to Marvin in El City at a post station that specializes in helping people deliver news and deliver supplies. A magic sealing box about one foot square actually costs thirty silver, which is really expensive. outrageous.

After finishing these things, the three of us bypassed the magic market on the first floor.

Walking through the magician task announcement hall on the second floor, a large number of magicians gathered in the hall, all in front of this large row of message boards, reading various magic tasks on the message boards, there are a total of There are more than a dozen mission announcement halls, and almost every hall has a lot of mission information posted. There are several registration desks on both sides of the hall. place of reward.

The entire Tower of Pride is the most lively place here.

I didn't think about the magic quests on the message boards. I just thought about it in my heart. Before hunting or training, I might as well go to the lobby to find some suitable quests, and take suitable quests to the wild to practice together. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The third floor of the Tower of Pride is the area where the Magic Guild and the Professional Association are located. I didn't stop here, but walked up the stone steps directly to the fourth floor.

According to the description of the Yerkes scholar, the entire floor here is the Magic Research Institute.

After waiting at the door for a short time, the Yerkes scholar rushed out wearing a purple magic robe, saw me waiting at the door, and pulled me in directly.

Then he saw that the tauren Ruka and Helena were following me, he couldn't help but frowned, and then said to me with a little dissatisfaction: "According to the regulations, orcs are prohibited from entering the research institute. This time, you'd better not bring your entourage over here. Now, let him wait outside for a while. It's your first time to come to the research institute. You should know your way first, and there is no urgent task. He won't be here. This is too long to wait!"
