my age of magic

Chapter 565 63. The Magic Scholar in the Herb Garden

Behind the Royal Academy of Magic is a very quiet lake. There is a circular artificially built island in the center of the lake a few hundred meters away from the lake. The entire island has been transformed into an ecological garden. In addition to the lush greenery In addition to the luxuriant tropical plants, even a part of the lake around the island is included in the energy shield. It is said that the entire island is a large-scale water element magic circle.Every day, there will be special maintenance personnel, take a canoe to the island, and replace the magic spar on the core center of the magic circle with new ones. About two magic crystals are consumed here every day.

Since there are not many water-type magicians in the magic academy, a certain dean of the magic academy thought that it was too extravagant to use this ecological park as a meditation place for water-type magicians, so he planted some on the small island in the middle of the lake. Rare tropical plants. Later, this small island in the middle of the lake was spotted by a magician at the level of a magic pharmacy scholar, and he opened it up as the college's private magic herb garden. This move by the pharmacy scholar, This ecological garden has completely turned its losses into profits, and it has become the only magical herbal ecological garden that can be self-sufficient among the several ecological gardens of the Royal Academy of Magic.

Almost every year, the magical herbs produced here flow into various laboratories of the Academy of Magic and are directly sold domestically.Because some precious magical herbs are planted here, it has become one of the few ecological parks that need to be inspected and controlled. Over time, the water magicians who often meditate here choose another place that is far away from the dormitory and the library. Meditate in the nearby ecological garden, which can be regarded as a comprehensive ecological garden. There is also an arena built in the garden, where there is a small water-gathering element circle, which provides sufficient water for various plants in the garden. Water magic elements, these water magicians gradually got used to meditating here.

Of course, in order to appease the small number of water magicians in the academy, the college also chose to build a large pool and fountain in front of the dormitory building with the best location in the dormitory park, which is close to the small square in the park. It is only to beautify the entire dormitory park, and also to provide a more comfortable living environment for the water magicians. This can be regarded as a compensation for the college's encroachment on the water system ecological park.

Another reason why few of the magicians studying at the Royal Academy of Magic are willing to come to the back lake of the academy is that the magicians who often hang out here will always be caught by the university scholar in the water ecology garden. The scholar often goes in and out of the water system ecological garden. He likes to look for those wandering students along the way, and enters the ecological garden to work. Usually, this kind of labor lasts for an afternoon.

For these magicians who only know to hold a large magic book and read books all day long, working in this plant-based ecological garden is a very bitter thing. The students who have suffered are gradually moving away from here, and have written this article into a manual called "Daily Life Guide of the Magic Academy". Therefore, now the entire Houhu Lake has become extremely deserted, and it has gradually become a A place of tranquility.

In the magic academy, there are always all kinds of strange manuals and guides. This kind of privately printed booklets are very popular among students. There is enough living soil here, just like Noah had a book before. "Guide to Daily Life of Tutor Qige".

There are many kinds of booklets like this, and I couldn't help but buy a life guide. Although the binding is very simple, the content written in it is actually very practical. This booklet divides the entire magic academy into five areas: The main entrance of the college faces the teaching building area of ​​the square, the dormitory living area west of the library, four ecological parks on both sides of the square, the experimental building area on the west side of the college, and a large lake garden area behind the college.

I sat on the grass by the lake, hugged my legs with my hands, put my head on my knees, and quietly looked at the blue sky in the distance. The thick white clouds like cotton were constantly changing their shapes on the horizon. There is such a clean afternoon. The Institute of Magic has a regular meeting at the end of each month this afternoon. Both Yerkes scholars and Qige need to attend, and Yingli’s class schedule is full today. It is said that she will have another meeting in a few days. It will take about half a month to go to the Swamp of Sorrows with the adventure group organized by the college. Before that, she needs to make some adequate preparations, so she has become very busy recently.

……

We only meet once every two days, sometimes I will go to her, sometimes I will sit in the library for a while, sometimes I will chat on the quiet bench in the small square of the park, or we will take the magic caravan together to Weiyang Blow the wind on the unknown small pier by the lake.In short, Yingli likes to pull me and observe this bustling imperial capital from her perspective. We walked through the streets and alleys here, and saw the lives of some commoners living in the imperial capital. Those people have cities in them. The night watchmen include coachmen, craftsmen, craftsmen, etc. They live in a small civilian area, and usually several families live together in a decent-looking wooden house. in the attic.

At that time, I laughed and said: This kind of loft can only be afforded by high-income earners like Leant and Fanny in El City, but it is the houses of commoners in the imperial capital. Life in the imperial capital is really luxurious!
Ying Li shook his head, frowned and said to me: If you had walked into any wooden attic here, you would not have said that. In these seemingly decent wooden attics, every There are probably at least four or five families living in each building, and each family has only one room. Several families need to share a living room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a toilet, and this house does not belong to any of them. People can only be rented from the owners of those houses—some great nobles. However, the common people here have to face this kind of life. Maybe they are used to it, or maybe they have been bent by life. , do not know how to fight.

I looked at the exquisite wooden attics in amazement. There would be an open lawn in front of each attic, and some plainly dressed children would run on the lawn, but I never thought about everything here. What looks like a beautiful scene turns out to be a layer of colorful foam, which may be completely shattered the next moment when it is poked by a finger.I suddenly wanted to take a closer look at this beautiful city full of flowers and flowers, and wondered what was hidden under the bright night.

Taking advantage of the weekend, we climbed an ancient site at the Majaro Pass, which is already the military area of ​​the imperial capital. Although it is already an abandoned and dilapidated site, no one will live here, but because it exists in a special location, here You can have a panoramic view of the entire imperial capital, so ordinary tourists are usually not allowed to enter here.In addition, there is a quarry nearby, which is the only quarry with legal procedures in Mount Majaro.

However, there are still some small regrets in it. In the end, I was not able to kiss Yingli's gentle lips on the quarry with the afterglow of the setting sun.Every time like this, Helena will become Yingli's substitute, and then we will hug in front of Yingli. Although I enjoy Helena's sweet kiss very much, for me, my heart is always very contradictory. There will be a fresh and exciting feeling and a sense of guilt washing away in the depths of the heart like waves.

……

Beside me was the booklet "Guide to Daily Life at the Academy of Magic", the pages were blown away by the lake wind, and there was a crisp sound of 'bang bang bang'.

When I enter the meditation, I can feel the water elements floating like dust in the air. They are like the microbes floating in the ocean, slowly drifting in a certain direction with the ocean current in the sea, and in In my microcosm, those water elements were attracted by a huge vortex. Looking in the direction where the water elements were drifting, I found that there was a huge water element on a small island in the center of the lake a few hundred meters away. The vortex is constantly rotating. Although it is at an extremely slow speed, the huge vortex is like an eternal magnetic field, constantly absorbing the surrounding water elements from the small island in the center of the lake.

Seeing Sister Guoguo's translucent body becoming more and more clear, she stood silently in the lake water, looking at the huge water elemental vortex not far away, as if she was in deep thought.

The tauren Luka stood in the knee-deep lake, holding a huge oak wine barrel high in his hand, which was filled with clear lake water, pouring it head-on, and a trace of cold lake water made his body Breathing became very short at this moment, the tauren Luka took a few breaths in a row, then slammed the water vapor standing in the thick hair on his body, shook his body dry, and then ran up the lake Sitting on the grass next to me on the shore seemed a little bit excited.

He was wearing only a pair of lederhosen, and in the chilly spring, he stood shirtless in the lake and took a shower casually. Seeing the joyful smile on Luka the tauren's face, I was also impressed by his Infected by an optimistic mood.

Probably he has been locked in the underground cave these days, and he has been depressed for too long. When I opened the portal in a quiet place and found Luka out of the underground cave, he was like someone who found a new toy one by one. The child laughed and jumped happily in place, but he still held a huge oak wine barrel under his arm, but the wine had been drained, and he still held a claw hammer in his other hand. With a few iron nails in his mouth, the tauren who seemed to be staying in an underground cave was boringly repairing the empty wine barrel.

I threw a towel to him and asked him to dry off the water on his body. Luka smirked stupidly, and that smile was as bright as the sun.

At this time, I raised my head and asked him: "Hey, have you really thought about it? Maybe after entering there, your life will change a lot. Maybe it will be difficult for you to get free in the future, and you have to work all day Some manual work may be more restricted than in underground caves."

"Well, think it over!" Karu replied affirmatively. At this moment, I couldn't see the slightest hesitation in his eyes. He knew exactly what he needed.

Looking at the tauren Luka with a slight stubble on his lips, at this moment, Luka gave me the feeling that this young tauren boy has grown up completely.

So I kept silent, and Noah's voice calling my name came from afar, and I don't know how he found here.I searched for the source of the sound and turned around. This guy had already emerged from a low bush. There were still a few pieces of dead grass on his head. He looked a bit embarrassed.

I looked at this Noah who was trying to adjust his breathing rhythm, and asked Noah casually: "How about your plan to enter the prison Sword and Rose these days? Did things turn around?"

"Don't mention it. It's been three days since I wrote the application for joining the club. I haven't waited for any reply. It seems hopeless. I've tried to contact some other clubs. I want to find a club that can jointly study combined magic. I also tried to find two associations, but unfortunately there was no clear reply!" Noah looked a little frustrated and said with a sigh.

But obviously, Noah failed to find a club that suits him. Although he suffered repeated setbacks, this did not stop Noah from joining the club. Quiet Mei gave a few clicks of admiration, and said to me: "Ji Jia, this place is really nice."

The next moment, suddenly fell into silence, we sat side by side on the grass covered with pebbles by the lake, kept silent, no one spoke.

After a while, Noah said again: "... Maybe our brother was targeted. In the morning, Dennis secretly told us that people like Ivan and Jimmy almost talked about their grievances with us in the college. That The president of the Alchemy Society secretly told him that if he hadn’t been a bit real, the president of the Alchemy Society wouldn’t have taken the risk of offending the people in the Inscription Literature Society to recruit Dennis into the society.”

"However, speaking of Jijia, what are you doing here?" At this moment, Noah suddenly came back to his senses, looked at me suspiciously, and asked.

Then he looked at Luka who was sitting on the side with some envy, and said to me with certainty: "This tauren servant looks very strong, really cool!"

Just as I was about to explain to Noah, I saw an old magician in a lotus robe walking slowly from the lake.

Before he got close to us, he was already waving to us non-stop. Although I couldn't hear his calling, I was secretly happy and thought: "Finally, I'm here!"

I numbly stood up from the grass, patted the withered grass debris on my body, and quickly winked at Luka, so he and I ran towards the old mage slowly.

Noah saw the old mage from a distance, his mouth widened, as if he remembered something, his face changed drastically, and then he wanted to hold me back, but when he reached out, it was a step too late, I He has already taken Luka to meet the old mage.

"Hey, Jijia, come back quickly, don't go there, unless you want to work as a coolie in that medicine garden..." Noah's voice was suppressed very low, and he spoke very hastily.

But at this time, I, who was walking in front, had no intention of stopping at all. I just turned around and gave Noah a 'hey' smile, and then said to him: "I'll go over and have a look first, you still have a little time to decide Go or stay..."

After speaking, I took the tauren Luka and walked towards the old mage with happy steps...

I left the stunned Noah in place, he stared at my leaving back with wide-eyed eyes, I guess he must be shouting in his heart at this moment: Ji Jia, I will give you a lung!
At the same time, the "Guide to Life at the Academy of Magic", that rough booklet, was left in place, and the snow-white pages were flipping under the wind blowing from the lake, making 'crackling' non-stop...
