my age of magic

Chapter 574 72. The Magic Array on the Totem
There is a long marble road outside the gate of the Tower of Pride, extending to the stone steps [-] meters away. From the stone steps, you can clearly see the brilliant lights of the imperial capital at night, and the colorful city shows its unique prosperity. , the street lamps erected on both sides of the criss-crossing streets, the gorgeous lamps in the shop windows on the edge of the street, and the resplendent lights in the castles of various aristocratic courtyards and castles, all together constitute the beautiful night scene of the imperial capital. A flawless black pearl, and those mansions are surrounded by Weiyang Lake, the closer to Weiyang Lake, the denser and brighter the lights, the more it can show the prosperity and splendor of the imperial capital.

Looking up at the royal city high in the sky, at night under the half-covered veil-like clouds, there are dim lights. On the royal city, several beams of light shoot up into the sky, and there are occasional royal eagle knights in the night sky Only when passing through the lamppost will you be surprised. In the sky far away, occasionally there will be a loud and high-pitched eagle cry. In the heart of every knight in the Green Empire, there is a royal knight. group of dreams.

And I just walked down the stairs of the side door at this time, and even just saw Senior Ivan waiting on the edge of the stone pillar at the door, I felt a little uneasy, thinking that this was another premeditated siege After the failure of the siege at the entrance of the fourth floor of the research institute, and the failure of the team battle initiated after the provocation in the library of the Royal Academy of Magic, it was the third premeditated siege.

The four series of stone drum totems in the magic waist bag have been placed within easy reach by me, the Shura battle ax and the oil lamp that can trigger the 'Windfury Totem' have been hung on my waist, and the Yerkes scholar has left before me The Tower of Pride, I think they might be more fully prepared this time, just when I hesitated a little in my heart...

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The high-heeled shoes stepped on the smooth mirror-like marble floor and made a crisp and pleasant sound. Walking outside, without even looking at her face, I could clearly tell that it was Qige from the sound of walking. I didn’t expect that she would be busy so late in the research institute. Qige usually used to go to the lobby inside the Tower of Pride The main spiral staircase on the front, passes through the magic material trading hall on the first floor, and then leaves from the main entrance of the Tower of Pride.

When I walked out of the gate of the Tower of Pride, Qige happened to be walking on the main road outside the Tower of Pride. The hot maid Takama with the blood of the lizard was wearing a tight leather armor with a slave collar on her neck in her hand. Under the light of the horse lantern, it reflected the metallic color, she seemed to walk as silently as a cat, and her cold pupils gave off a faint sense of oppression.

But at this time, Ivan, who was standing by the marble pillar, adjusted the neckline of his magic robe a little nervously, stood up straight and slowly walked out from the shadow, and walked towards Qige.

"Teacher Qige!" It seems that only in front of the magic instructor of the Royal Academy of Magic, Ivan will look more like a student of the Academy of Magic, a young man who has just passed the adult ceremony, and he has a gentle aristocratic temperament all over his body. A slightly handsome sunny face and a harmless smile to humans and animals.

"Oh, Ivan?" Qige stopped, and the melodious voice came out of her mouth, full of charm like the singing of those sea monsters in the misty sea.

Ivan tried his best to make his voice calm and confident, and then said in one breath: "Can you give me a few minutes? I want to talk to you."

When he faced Qige, he seemed to be under tremendous pressure.Some of the pressure came from Qige himself, some pressure came from the powerful family behind Qige, and some pressure came from the Prince of Wales of the Green Empire.

In front of Qige, Ivan bowed to Qige humbly and slightly with aristocratic etiquette.

In the Grimm Empire, the status of men has always been much higher than that of women, and because of the continuous border wars, a large number of young people in the Grimm Empire go to the front line every year, resulting in an uncoordinated ratio of men and women in the entire country. This again led to the decline of the status of women, so in this case, even if the status of each other is not equal, few noble men salute to women.

A magician like Ivan who has entered the Royal Academy of Magic can be said to have an extremely bright and smooth path in the future. He really doesn't need to use such etiquette to Qige now, even if Qige is a tutor in the academy, he really doesn't have to in this way.

If it wasn't for the extra silence at night, I wouldn't be able to hear their conversation clearly, let alone see the expression on Qige's face at this moment.

But obviously Qige is in high spirits tonight, at least in a good mood, so she replied very straightforwardly: "Okay, what do you want from me, let me tell you!" I never thought that Qige would be so dignified in front of others. On one side, it is like an evening primrose that only blooms under the moon.

Ivan said to Qige in a sincere tone: "I want to follow you, become your assistant, and learn magic pharmacy from you?"

"Reason?" Qige's words were short, as if she was rushing home.

Apparently, Ivan never thought that Qige didn't agree to the humble request in a low-key manner after she let go of her status. She even asked the reason. She was at a loss for words for a while, and then she reacted with a lot of momentum. Di retorted: "Isn't this reason enough for a student of the Royal Academy of Magic?"

Qige's voice seemed a little ethereal, and she said impatiently: "As far as I know, you are a member of the Inscription Literature Club in the college, and you are also working as a magician's assistant at the Magic Research Institute. Do you still have In the remaining free time, learn magic pharmacy with me?"

Ivan said to Qige: "I want to be your magician's assistant in the Academy of Magic."

It turned out that they wanted to steal my job, and I felt amused in my heart. I didn't expect that someone would come to my door to be abused and serve as Qige's assistant. Aren't you afraid of frequent accidents in magic experiments?
"Heck, you can't..." Qige smiled softly, obviously also thinking of the danger of her "trial experiments with magic ink", and it was not suitable for Ivan to help her test.

But this sentence was made by her charming smile, which seemed to deny that there was a problem with Ivan's personal ability, and it was not aimed at the inapplicability of the 'ink experiment'.

"Why, Teacher Qige?" Ivan's tone became a little irritable when he was told 'no' by a charming beauty. A seedling like him who grew up in a greenhouse obviously encountered too few setbacks.

Fortunately, Qige put away her smile and said calmly: "I don't want to be approached by those old guys in the Magic Guild Arbitration Office just because you were injured in my magic experiment!"

Qige's tone seemed to be persuading a wayward child, which made Ivan very upset, so he then asked Qige, "I assure you, I will do better than Jijia. For him, I and You have the same stand and I hate this redneck from the North."

There are rumors in the research institute that Qige called me to her laboratory because of some personal grievances with me, and then deliberately punished me slightly. Ivan believed this reason.

He called me a country bumpkin from the North, and it set me on fire, and I wanted to go out and beat him up, but the guy dared to call me behind my back, and then I heard him say, "He's just from the North." A country kid from the border, if his first teacher is not Yerkes, he may never be able to enter the palace of the research institute in the Tower of Pride, and he is even as rude as those orcs."

This kid... is really unreasonable!
I didn't care about anything else, and walked out directly from the gate of the Tower of Pride. I didn't expect that Takama was the first to notice me. Her golden pupils dilated in the dark night, and when I heard footsteps, She shrank violently, obviously she had been vigilantly observing the changes in the surrounding situation, but when she saw it was me, she quickly moved her head to Qige's ear and whispered a few words.

As expected of a female warrior in the tropical jungle, I was paying enough attention, but I still couldn't hear what she said to Qige, but at this time Qige looked at me with a playful look in her eyes, with a hateful look of gloating.And Ivan, who was standing opposite her, obviously didn't notice me, and continued to belittle me. Ivan continued: "And I think I am better than him. He is just a beginner who knows how to draw magic scrolls. And I am a junior inscriber recognized by the Green Magic Guild, so in my opinion, even if he suffered a little pain in your laboratory, it is a rare learning opportunity for him..."

"Oh, so you think so?" Seeing that I had already walked over, Qige had no choice but to interrupt Ivan's belittling of me. Seeing that she had successfully aroused my anger, she challenged me again With curved and delicate eyebrows, he casually said to Ivan.

I was speechless when I saw Qige secretly showing a sly smile with her mouth covered, holding the hem of the magic dress with both hands, turning around and walking quickly towards the stone steps, without any hesitation, walking a few steps and still walking towards the stone steps. He did not forget to turn around and ask his maid, "Takama, why don't you leave?"

Qige and I have some agreements, that is, we try to avoid staying together in front of people. Of course, in Qige's laboratory, that is another matter.

This is to cover up that we are very familiar with each other, so that when we do something together, there is inevitably some tacit understanding, and sometimes we can't help but make eye contact. After a long time like this, it is inevitable that some flaws will be exposed in front of others. Let people know our relationship. We don't want to piss off the Prince of Wales at this time. Although he and Qige can be regarded as playmates who grew up together, they were also very close friends before this relationship. But the Prince of Wales is Qige's fiancé after all, and Qige has also become the quasi-princess of the royal family of the Green Empire. This concerns the face of the royal family, so we plan to find an appropriate time. This is also the thing that bothers me the most. , I am not at all mentally prepared for how to bear the wrath of an imperial prince.

And now the person who really knows about our relationship is Uncle Qige Qiqidania, but he doesn't seem to know that I came to the imperial capital yet.

"...Senior Ivan, talking about others behind his back is not something a nobleman with good etiquette should do!" I stepped forward and said to Ivan word by word.

Seeing me coming up from behind, Ivan's face turned livid. Obviously he failed to persuade Qige, which made Ivan a little embarrassed. He stared at me coldly, a little wary.

"Don't think that you can talk to me in this tone because you have Yerkes scholars protecting you in the academy. After all, I am still your senior at the Royal Academy of Magic, and the Inscription Society has not received your letter yet. Application form, don't you want to join the Inscription Literature Club?" When Ivan said this, he seemed to have some confidence, and he raised his chest high.

"Even if I apply, you will let me pass?" I asked him with a sneer.

He took two steps back with a little guilty conscience, then managed to calm himself down, and then thought of my recent encounters at the Magic Academy, he was actually very proud, then raised his chin high, raised his head high, and turned his nostrils He said to me, "You do have self-knowledge, but besides this, do you have any other methods?"

Scholar Ivan then sneered at me and said, "Don't think that if you rely on Yerkes, everything will be fine. Now he is also in danger. You should think about how to solve the troubles between you and Yerkes, otherwise Yerkes will be in trouble this month. Whether you can stay in the research institute is still up to you!"

It seems that the rumors in the institute are more serious than what I heard, and the situation is more serious.

Obviously, Ivan would not tell me these things kindly. He borrowed this information and wanted to hit me hard: "Now the whole research institute is staring at you, and finally see how you ended up. Don't end up leaving the academy's side door in despair, this is the saddest thing in life!"

I pondered for a while, but did not speak.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Ivan looked even more proud. He stood aside and said with a teasing expression: "A magician still has to rely on his brain. You can't just rely on an ax and four stone bullets dancing randomly in the air to become the strongest person in the academy, let alone you are only a water element."

'Stone Drum Totem'

At this time, through Ivan's words, I suddenly thought that I still have the 'Stone Drum Totem'?

Isn't the so-called stone drum totem of the orc shaman a secondary magic that is not even a first-level magic? This kind of low-mana consumption magic skill can only be engraved on the stone drum, and only the orc shaman and witch doctor are willing to use it Something, and the moonlight stone drum totem in my hand is not engraved with the magical skill 'Wind Run' that can only be mastered by the shamans of the orc tribe?

If I engrave the magic circle of 'Wind Speed' on the wind and wave leather boots, and combine it with 'Speed ​​Up' or 'Lightness', what kind of effect will it have?
At this moment, my mind was spinning rapidly, and I gradually had a clear idea.

Afterwards, looking at Ivan who was still standing there and mocking me, he showed a heartfelt smile.

With a sound of "choke!", the scroll of "Magic Shield" in Ivan's hand was quickly unfolded by him, and a thick egg shell covered his body.

And I just smiled at him faster, turned and left...
