my age of magic

Chapter 642 141. Yerkes' Second Spring

The inside of the tavern was filled with the smell of alcohol and barbecue. Under the flickering lights, the drinkers crowded the tavern, which was not that big. The big-nosed wine drinkers, holding hands with each other, danced the autumn harvest dance in the small open space in front of the bar. The simple movements contained the joy of a good harvest.

The dance that was originally used to celebrate the autumn harvest before the coming-of-age ceremony in autumn has now spread to all corners of the empire. On happy days, everyone will dance this interesting and cheerful dance arm in arm.

The bar counter is full of barley wine. A layer of white foam floats on the orange liquid, and the slightly bitter aroma permeates. It will whet your appetite when paired with a small dish of fried potatoes and fried fish.

Of course, this tavern is most famous for its high-end golden cider, and the owner of the tavern, Zhuoka Ke, is a very business-minded person. He poured the entire bottle of expensive golden cider into small In a cup, sold separately, the sales volume is considerable.

Those drunkards would occasionally grit their teeth and take out two silver coins to drink a glass, of course it was only a small glass, savoring the taste of the wine carefully, and then drink those high-quality and cheap ale, only A dozen copper coins can fill a stomach full of ale.

It has to be said that such a small cup of high-end golden cider sold outside has made the tavern famous. Many drinkers only linger on this tavern after tasting the golden cider in the tavern.

Those cystic and shy drinkers don't drink a glass of expensive golden cider every time they come, but just drinking it once in a while is enough for them to brag for three or five days.

Finally, before the end of the month, the two magic-weave structures of 'Black Rhinoceros Shoulders' and 'Chain Trousers' were rushed out. This set of magic-weave structures has finally reached the final stage. As long as these structures The components are combined together, and then the associated lines hidden on these magic pattern structures are activated, and the set attribute is turned on, and then a complete set of magic pattern structures can be formed.

But these tasks belong to Yerkes scholars to complete independently, and there is no need to worry about them.

In fact, when I finish drawing the magic pattern structures designed by him, my work will be over. Next, I will relax at the Royal Academy of Magic for a few days, calm down and learn magic knowledge, and wait until the beginning of the month When I was young, I followed the college clubs and participated in the adventure activities on the Hierro plane.

Speaking of which, this set of magic pattern construction is already a rare high-quality goods. Among the magic pattern constructions of the same level, if you take out any part of the magic pattern construction, the attributes will be much higher , and such a tailor-made suit, the most rare thing is that it can make up for the defects of physical attributes, and the precious thing is the word 'tailor-made'.

Yerkesian scholars celebrate simply with a drink at Drokak's tavern.

However, I think his purpose of coming to this tavern has become a little unclear recently. The beautiful girl Eve in the tavern, every time she looks at the Yerkes scholar, there is a flame of enthusiasm in her eyes.

In fact, I have never understood why Yerkes is always like this.

Every time he went to the tavern, he only had a few drinks and gave Eve some consumption by the way. Other than that, he didn't even make a suggestive look or a hidden movement. He looked serious like an old pedant, The deep wrinkles on his forehead make me think maybe he is really old.

But in recent times, the Yerkes scholar has gradually learned how to create some emotion. He began to try to touch Eve's white hand when receiving the wine glass, how to avoid Zhuokek's gaze, and put a A silver coin was stuffed into Eve's pocket.

Eve seemed to put her hand on the bar casually, carefully recording the wine list.

Yerkes rubbed one hand against her fair arm, but he didn't seem to notice it, he just sat on the high chair outside the bar and sipped his wine in silence.

I coughed lightly, waking Yerkes up from being with Eve.

I don't understand why the tavern owner Zhuokek has almost become a cage for two people, as if he is the wall that Yerkes and Eve can't overcome.

I think Zhuocak doesn't care about Eve at all. Maybe Eve is just a passer-by in his life. In his heart, Eve doesn't leave any place for Eve. A passerby in Kak's leaky thatched hut.

However, Eve didn't seem to see the towering castle of Yerkes at all, and only sent some sweet smiles when Yerkes came to drink.

As long as Yerkes doesn't take the initiative, she will stand still like a shy lady.

But what about the Yerkes scholar... He is such an extremely paranoid old-fashioned. In his eyes, freedom, love, and dignity are more important than anything else.

Hey, poor Eve, I don't know if it's Eve's luck or her misfortune to meet a maverick magician scholar like Yerkes.

Originally, just relying on Yerkes scholar's words, oh no, even a glance could change Eve's fate, but only relying on Yerkes' words: You are not a fish, how do you know that fish are not happy!Hit me right back.

Probably Yerkes still can't figure out why I can clearly know Zhuo Keke's movements even with my eyes closed. At the signal of Kak's return, he would immediately look away, and of course he would also pull back that dishonest paw.

Putting on the appearance of an old scholar, withdrew his squinting drunken eyes, and said to me solemnly: "What's the plan next? Do you want to independently design a first-level magic pattern structure and get back the qualification certificate of the inscriber?"

At this time, Eve turned around for an excuse to get the wine glass on the shelf. Her graceful figure made me feel like yelling at Yerkes: Flowers must be broken when they are worth it.

I took a newspaper that exudes the scent of ink, spread it on the bar table, and said lightly: "I don't have time, I will go to the Hierro plane to experience and explore at the beginning of next month!"

Yerkes looked at the white shirt on me and asked, "Why haven't I seen you wearing that Misoli recently?"

Probably only when you have nothing to say, you will notice these!I thought about it silently, and said to him: "The magic robe is damaged and cannot be repaired."

Yerkes asked me in surprise, "Huh? So serious, what happened?"

"A few days ago, I met an assassin from the Black Magic Priory. Well, this is the knife."

I took out the small knife enchanted with the attribute of 'sharpness' from my arms, and showed it to Yerkes, and then gestured to the position of my chest, left rib, and back heart, and he grinned straight away. For fighting, Yerkes The Scholar is a complete layman, and I said to Yerkes, "Here, oh, and here, there is a big gash here, and the tailor in the tailor's shop told me that the magic robe was no longer worth darning. , I have plans to buy another one recently!"

"Oh, I don't think you are suitable for wearing magic robes, you should wear leather armor." Yerkes thought for a while and said to me.

He may be joking, but this sentence exploded in my mind, yes, why do I always focus on those magic robes? If there is a delicate leather armor, it may be more important to me. Practical!
When I lowered my head to meditate, Yerkes raised his head, pointed at the tavern facing Zhuo Keke, frowned and joked to him: "You are too noisy here, the bar should be a place where people can drink quietly. I kind of regret letting Giga sell you those golden ciders."

Standing at the bar, Zhuokek put his hands on the countertop, pushed a glass of finely brewed barley wine in front of the Yerkes scholar, brought out a plate of fried whitebait, and said with a smile: "There is no way. Every day, just after dark, the tavern is full of people, many of them rushing to taste the golden cider."

"Have you ever thought about expanding the storefront? If so, sooner or later this small room of yours will burst." Yerkes blushed from drinking, squinted his eyes and read a piece of dried fruit, and opened it with a sharp thin-skinned knife. , Pry open the husk, pick out the crispy and delicious pulp inside, and stuff it into your mouth.

"I've set up four tables outside, which should be able to relieve a little bit, but I'm afraid that the weather will get hotter and hotter. In summer, the inside of the house will become stuffy, and it's impossible to stay with people, even if it's expanded. I want to enclose the entire area of ​​the street in front of the tavern and put these tables outside." Zhuokek took a glass of ale from Eve's hand and touched the Yerkes scholar. He clinked his glasses and took a big sip.

Yerkes shook his head and said, "Old drinkers are used to sitting in their old seats. Once the tables in the room are emptied, it will be hurtful!"

"Then buy some new tables, but the delivery date is coming soon, Magician Jijia, are you ready? The oak barrels in the warehouse have bottomed out, and I'm afraid it won't last for a few days." Zhuoka Ke squeezed a smile on his face, looking very happy. He took a thin-necked round-bellied bottle casually, pulled out the cork, and filled the wine glass in front of me.

There is a goblet in front of me with at least two-thirds of the golden wine in it. A smoked salmon is baked very soft and tender, with a layer of sweet tomato sauce on it. It tastes like a pine wood in the fish. aroma.

On the bar counter was a piece of Imperial Magic News, and a huge war picture occupied the first page of the entire newspaper.

This is a dynamic picture, although there is no sound, but the shocking scene of those knights on golden and iron horses waving their spears and charging repeatedly on the battlefield. Thousands of soldiers, led by the constructed knights, rushed towards the dark forces The legion of the army, those spidermen with huge bodies rushed over the mountains and plains like a tide, and the scene of fighting and killing made my blood boil.

"The war on the plane is really in full swing!" I sighed, unavoidably worried about Yingli, not knowing how the war on the Manda plane would be.

"Oh, those are spidermen." Yerkes glanced lightly, and didn't care about the so-called situation in the newspaper. For a magic scholar like him, his daily life is very simple. On the front line, occasionally when I am in a good mood, I will come out for a drink.

At this time, the tavern owner Zhuoka Ke was still looking at me eagerly, I smiled at him: "Is the money bag ready?"

He patted the leather pocket on his waist, which jingled non-stop, and said proudly: "It's already been prepared."

"Take me to your wine cellar, and I'll help you put the oak barrels at the door of the wine cellar." I stood up, put one hand on the magic pocket, and said to Zhuo Kak.

When he heard my words, he was overjoyed immediately, put the wine glass in his hand on the bar with a smile on his face, and nimbly got out from under the counter in the bar, then put his arms around my shoulders, and said to me: "Let's go!" , Wizard Jijia, I invite you to take a look at my wine cellar."

"Yeah!" I winked at Yerkes, and followed Chokak through the dancing crowd.

Zhuoka Ke's strong body opened the way in front, and I followed him closely, and easily stepped into the back door of the tavern. Looking at Zhuo Keke's back, I thought wistfully, the Yerkes scholar's taste of love , is it considered love...

……

This tavern was originally a private house, but now he converted the house facing the street into a not-so-big tavern, with a small courtyard and his living place at the back.

Chokak kindly introduced his home to me. He pointed to the row of bedrooms and told me that his wives live there. Duanping, I asked him half-jokingly: "The business of the tavern is so prosperous now, and I have a lot of money in my pocket, are you planning to marry another one?"

He laughed loudly, patted his belly vigorously, and then said to me humorously: "Now I'm so fat that I almost can't figure out where my waist is!"

I stood aside and smiled without saying a word, watching Zhuo Kake just walked a few steps, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This is what I feel, maybe Xia Tian is quietly sneaking into every corner of this city, those shrubs The leaves of the trees are getting darker, the flowers on the fruit trees are withering and green fruits are growing, and the vines have covered the walls...
