my age of magic

Chapter 603 102. Emerald Bay Trading Company
Hiding behind the glass windows in the corridor on the second floor of the tavern, watching Qige gracefully board the gorgeous golden carriage, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

The Prince of Wales in aristocratic court dress is handsome, with a proud smile on his mouth, a long sword inlaid with gems hanging on his waist, knight leather breeches, dark brown riding boots, politely Standing in front of the carriage, he gently held Qige's hand and helped her into the carriage.

Takama, who was following behind, helped Qige lift up the wide skirt with a blank expression, and tried his best to prevent her dress from getting dust on the ground.

The moment Qige boarded the carriage, she couldn't help turning her face back to look at the glass window on the second floor of the tavern.

The Prince of Wales' eyes chased Qige's eyes, and his eyes fell on the glass window. It was too late for me to avoid it. Lucia took a small step forward at this moment, stood in front of the glass window, and I stood behind her body, stretched out my onion-like fingers as white as jade, and waved them gently outside the window.

At this moment, Lucia and I's bodies are overlapping each other, and I can even clearly smell the faint vanilla scent on her body, which has a sweet feeling.

Wells looked over, and could only see Lucia in front of the window and the blurry figure behind her. He smiled politely at Lucia, but the smile in his eyes contained a hint of teasing. He just nodded to Lucia, and then stepped swiftly onto the magic caravan.He must have thought I was the chaperone Lucia had brought.

The expression on his face was clearly saying: Lucia, so who is your boyfriend, what is there to hide!
Perhaps the Prince of Wales sitting in the carriage is still thinking about the two overlapping figures in front of the glass window, probably only couples can be so intimate...

The well-dressed royal drove away slowly in a gorgeous magic caravan, and behind the magic caravan were closely followed by two knights in armor.

In the caravan, Qige opened the light gauze curtain, revealing a beautiful smiling face.

I look away disappointed.

……

When leaving the 'Red Maple Leaf' tavern, I waved goodbye to the slim Lucia standing under the maple tree. I always felt that there were unspeakable emotions hidden in her smile. There will be such a rich expression.

Noah ran to the corner of the street very gracefully, summoned a magic caravan, and said politely to Lucia: "Senior sister, where do you want to go next? If you drop by, why don't you take a carriage together? If it's different If there is no way, then senior sister will go first, and I will go to the street corner to call a carriage."

There was a smile in Lucia's blue eyes, which were fascinated into two crescent moons. She pointed to the beautiful baroque building across the long street, and said softly: "Don't send me, I will Just live there. This area is the living area of ​​the elves."

"In this case, Jijia and I will leave first!" Noah said in a gentlemanly manner.

After finishing speaking, he boarded the carriage with me. Our next destination is the 'Emerald Bay Trading Firm'. Noah's brother is currently managing this firm in the imperial capital.

According to Noah, the Emerald Bay Trading Firm is his family's business, and nearly half of the supplies in Palestina Province have to be traded and delivered from this firm.

Originally, I just wanted to find a random business store, buy some daily necessities such as refined flour, salt, burlap, cotton cloth, raw lacquer, and felt, and then look for opportunities to pass through the portal.Send it to the warehouse in the underground tunnel.

Although Xinliu is rich in grain and there is no shortage of food, there is no large-scale mill in the orc village, and they are not able to process wheat into fine flour. The flour they usually eat is only ground with a stone mill. Not only is it rough, but the bran is also sticky. On the top, the wheat cakes made have an original flavor of wheat, but the taste is much worse, so occasionally, I will buy a batch of refined wheat flour to improve the life of the orcs.

As for salt, although there are salt mines in Xinliu Valley, those salt mines are buried underground, and those places are where goblins live. In order to help the goblins to help us collect magic red copper in a down-to-earth manner, I specifically told Kalancuo, Don't take the salt mines of the goblins by force. All along, I have purchased the edible salt for the orcs in Xinliu Valley from the trading company.

Of course, daily necessities such as hemp and cotton cloth also need to be purchased. Compared with spinning and weaving, those beast girls are more willing to herd, hunt, and collect herbs.

The carriage rolled slowly on the clean and tidy bluestone road, the sun shines through the gaps of the red maple trees, through the glass windows, and into the carriage shed of the carriage. Noah was lying slumped on the soft chair of the caravan, as if he couldn't lift his body up.

I did not forget to poke my head out and wave goodbye to Lucia who was under the maple tree. Seeing me sticking my head out of the car window in a funny way, she couldn't help but smile, and the sun shone through the gap in the forest. Her smile was so bright on her flawless face.

……

A gust of wind blew by, and there was a 'rustling' sound from the leaves of the maple trees, and the magic caravan gradually drifted away along the bluestone road.

On this street named 'Red Maple Tree', you can see some elf bards everywhere, leaning on the marble railing, wearing a clean leather armor, holding an organ, and following the melodious organ The voice is singing softly, and the melodious singing passes through the woods and penetrates into the ears of every pedestrian.

At the corner of the street, there is a very inconspicuous food stall. A slightly elderly elf woman is putting the marinated whitebait into the oil pan. The strong fragrance is floating on the street. It seems that this kind of food is very popular among elves, and there is a long queue in front of her food stall.

The magic caravan turned into an alley, and Noah jumped up from the soft chair. When I was not prepared, he pounced on me like a civet cat, put his elbow on my chest, and asked urgently I said, "You haven't explained to me, how did you meet Teacher Qige?"

Every winter in El City, I have to hunt the barbarians outside the city. Speaking of which, my physical fitness is much stronger than him.

Noah just learned a very superficial set of "grappling techniques" in the Sword and Rose Club, and he was worried that he would sprain my joints, so he shot very well.

"In the caravan at the foot of New Siakis Mountain!" I replied quickly.

It's just that the term 'New Siakis Mountain' speaks the orc language. How could Noah understand the orc language? It was a strong man who was hit there, and his whole body would go numb. I took the opportunity to break free from his restraints and press him down.

Smiling triumphantly, he said to him: "When facing the enemy, you must not be soft-handed, especially when you are on the battlefield, when facing an orc, don't think that you can subdue him by simply capturing him, and finally The best way is to cut off his tendons. If you meet a barbarian on the ice and snow tundra, the best way is to kill him directly, and then cut off his left ear, otherwise, your life will be in danger at any time. "

Noah was panting slightly under my pressure, gathered enough strength, and pushed me away again.

He wiped the corner of his mouth provocatively, and said proudly to me: "Don't always underestimate your opponent, let him come!"

"Two young and honorable mages, please pay attention. This is the compartment of the magic caravan, not the arena of the Magic Academy. Dueling services are not provided here." The door stretched in to stop the two of us from continuing to mess around.

Although Noah was polite to other nobles, it didn't mean that he also looked up to commoners. Although the coachman spoke humorously, being accused by a commoner face-to-face made Noah's face a bit gloomy.

He was about to reprimand the rude coachman, but I stopped him, and the carriage fell silent.

The magic caravan continued to drive on the flat and unmarked bluestone road, and the coachman also realized that the casual words he had just said to the two young nobles almost brought him an unwarranted disaster.

In the eyes of many people, the seemingly thin barrier between commoners and nobles should not be easily touched.

"What? He was just making a joke!" I said to Noah.

Noah took a deep breath to make his face look less ugly. He probably thought that I was also from a commoner family. After being silent for a while, his face calmed down and he complained to me: "Yes It's not that there is no such thing as what happened in the martial arts training ground in the martial arts gymnasium today, I'm afraid you still say that I was kept in the dark?"

I'm a little distracted.

In fact, I was thinking in private: If I were an ordinary civilian and I was the one who said those words just now, would I also offend Noah?The answer is beyond doubt that a young man from a traditional aristocratic family like Noah is unlikely to look down on a commoner, because the environment in which he lives constrains him.

But this is the rule of this world. The social system of the Green Empire is composed of those in power, nobles, commoners, and slaves. The imperial people have ranks, and they are also divided into high and low. There is no freedom, and those noble rulers can be said to have almost everything.

"What?" I didn't hear what Noah said just now.

"Let me ask about your relationship with Teacher Qige again. I have always regarded her as a goddess in my heart, but you are so familiar with her, and you didn't tell me clearly. Do you really want to see me look embarrassed? "Noah asked me.His heart was about to collapse, he covered his face with his hands, and said with great remorse: "Oh my God, I usually told you so much about Teacher Qige, shouldn't you also tell Teacher Qige?" pass?"

"Of course... no!" I said hey, my reason is very simple, I just said to him: "Look, I don't have time!"

For my words, Noah still believes it. After I said this, his expression has eased a lot, and he is no longer as impetuous as before.

Then the two of us chatted in the car. Noah is a very optimistic, cheerful and sunny noble boy. I admire his optimistic attitude towards life.

……

"I think our president is very approachable, maybe we should treat her to a meal if we have a chance, Jijia, you can make an appointment!" Noah said to me leisurely, leaning on the soft chair.

"..." I was speechless for a while.

After a while, I said with a smile: "Why don't we invite Xueli to have a light meal together, maybe she is waiting for your invitation. If you don't have the courage to tell her, I can help you. Maybe this time She will also participate in the field experience across planes, you have to find a way to mix with her in the same group, don't let others take advantage of it, she seems very popular in the first class of the fire department, You can see that she always has so many friends around her, and among them there may be some who are most seeking."

Noah twisted his neck and said to me, "Hey, Jijia, whether I'm after her or you are after her, just mind your own business."

In terms of appearance, the contours of his face are tougher than mine. The lines are like a knife-cut stone, with sharp edges and corners. His chin is covered with thick fluff, his nose is straight and his mouth is wide, and he looks very manly. The only shortcoming is that his body is not enough. Strong, and if he works out, he has a very athletic frame.

……

I have always trusted my sixth sense - intuition.

It's like being in the dark, with God's guidance.

Sitting in the magic caravan, with the light refracted by the window glass, I felt a cold and hot gaze passing through my body.

That feeling made me very uncomfortable, like in the wilderness of El City, under the icy snow layer, there is a long-awaited assassin buried quietly under the snow layer , very patiently and quietly waiting for me to set foot on this ice field.

And the assassin lurking in the dark would never have imagined that I could feel the murderous intent in his eyes hiding in the dark, both cold and hot, just by relying on the reflection of the glass on the car window.

Unfortunately, the assassin would never have guessed that my eyesight is even better than those rangers who have learned 'spotting'.

If he knew, I think he probably wouldn't be so reckless looking at me from a distance with hatred.

"Do you feel that something is wrong?" I asked Noah.

Through the reflection of the glass window, I found that my face was very pale, and my brows were tightly locked together.

"What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Noah felt my strangeness and asked me a little strangely.

"Did you smell a special smell... a strange smell?" Actually, I wanted to say a dangerous smell, but I saw that Noah looked normal, and I was sure he didn't feel the danger. I wanted him to be more vigilant. But I didn't want him and me to fall into this kind of deep suspicion and panic, so I said it to him in a different way.

He carefully sniffed around with his nose, but found nothing special about his body, and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, the carriage stopped suddenly, and a row of tall buildings stood on the side of the street. A quiet bay and a lighthouse seemed to be engraved on the stone plaque, and a row of imperial script "Emerald Bay" was engraved in the corner. Trading'.

Unexpectedly, at this time, we arrived at the destination of the trip 'Emerald Bay Trading Company'. Noah jumped out of the carriage with a little excitement. On the steps, the other hand pointed to the plaque and said to me proudly: "This is the business house opened by my family. Come on, I will take you to purchase some commodities you need, and I will give you the lowest discount. Next Once, you arrange a designated candidate, these chores, in fact, you don't need to come in person at all."

I rubbed my nose and said with a wry smile to him: "I've said it all, the quantity of daily necessities I bought is only a little, and I don't need to buy them in a business of this size!"

Noah laughed happily, and then said: "You just need to write down the details and quantity of the purchased items clearly, there will be a special person here to help you, it is very convenient, we are magicians, so precious How can I waste my time on these things!"

With that said, he took me and strode into the firm.
