my age of magic

Chapter 671 171. The Grand Duke's Mansion in Durva Province

A huge magic teleportation array was set up on the lawn beside the fountain of the Academy of Magic. Those metal pillars engraved with magic pattern arrays exude a strong magical atmosphere. The doors are not the same, the portal of transmission is no longer like a mirror with no waves in the ancient well, but like a space-time rift, countless fine magic particles are constantly being sucked into the hollow rift.

The neatly lined up students of the Royal Academy of Magic had different expressions. Some looked extremely excited, some looked extremely nervous, some looked around curiously, and some kept chatting with friends around them, making them feel very excited. I don't seem so nervous, but for those of us magic students, there are not many opportunities to travel across planes, so many people are looking forward to this trip to the Hierro plane.

Amidst the protests of some students behind me, I got together with Noah.

Noah told me in the first sentence that the members of the Dragon Club have been trying to trouble me for the past few days, but unfortunately they have been unable to find me, but this matter has already spread crazy in the Royal Academy of Magic. Almost everyone knows that I offended the people of the Dragon Society, and I'm in big trouble.

Shirley Newman, wearing a magic suit with a light gray top and trousers, emerged from behind Noah, smiled at me, and greeted me. She patted my arm and whispered to me: "Gee! Jia, my friends and I will stand by your side!"

I smiled gratefully at her, and it seemed that the whole Royal Academy of Magic knew about William of the Dragon Society.

The Dragon Club has always occupied the top spot in the first club of the Magic Academy, and it is also because there have always been one or two dragon blood mages in almost every freshman registration, or relying on the family's magic inheritance or blood inheritance, become Very rare dragon mages, it is said that some powerful four-turn dragon mages can learn the forbidden spell level magic 'Dragon Summoning', and those dragon blood mages can transform into powerful dragon warriors who are half-human and half-dragon.

After I heard Noah's news, I was also speechless for a while. I didn't expect that it was because of Le Die's relationship that I had a bad relationship with the Dragon Society for no reason.

Noah still looked heartless, touched the leather armor I was wearing, and asked me with admiration: "Why do you dress like this, the style of this leather armor...is really amazing. Quite special, oh, my God! You actually gave up the magic robes that magicians are most proud of, what on earth did you think, how did you think of wearing leather armor made of magic patterns like those warriors?"

Before I could answer, I let out a "tsk tsk" admiration, and asked me in a low voice: "This leather armor battle dress is very trendy, and the magic pattern on it is also very exquisite. Tell me, you have been out these few days, Is it because of this magic pattern structure?"

Noah guessed that I disappeared after asking for leave during this period, because I went to get myself such a magic pattern structure.

With a wry smile on my face, I put my arms around his shoulders, pulled the hem of the leather armor with my hands, and said to him: "This set of magic pattern structures is almost given to me by Yerkes scholars. I have dealt with some of them in the past few days." It's a private matter, you will know later."

Noah saw that my mouth was very strict, and I kept refusing to speak, so he stopped asking. Instead, he looked at the leather armor on me with great interest, and seemed very interested.

I heard him ask me: "Jijia, you are really a different kind of magician. Although the main purpose of our Sword and Rose Club is to find a way of fighting that combines magic and martial arts, ordinary members also need to wear magic spells." Robes, they hold weapons such as magic long swords or mysterious long swords, and spell blades in their hands. It is only enough to block assassins for a moment when they are attacked suddenly. Leather armor?"

I exposed the handle of the ax in the magic pocket, patted it, and said to Noah: "Of course it is for the convenience of fighting!"

Noah asked me in surprise: "You wear such a leather armor, do you really want to fight those people in close quarters?"

"Of course!" I replied without any hesitation.

Noah stared at Luka and Kalancuo for a long time, and then whispered to me half-jokingly: "You two strong orc servants match the style of your leather armor very well."

Seeing that I was speechless for a while, I added: "I haven't seen anyone in the academy with such a cool orc retinue!"

The team was advancing little by little, and the magicians of the Royal Academy of Magic lined up in a long line and walked into the teleportation magic circle.That teleportation circle is like the mouth of a giant beast.

When I was looking at the magic teleportation circle, William was just about to walk into the magic teleportation circle. He seemed to feel my gaze. He turned his head and saw me in the crowd. His face was obviously a little surprised. And then with that sinister smile.

The friends around him also looked over curiously, glanced at me casually, thought that I looked very ordinary, turned around and smiled at William, and didn't know what to say, which made William's face a little unnatural .At this time, the magic teacher guarding the entrance of the teleportation magic circle began to urge them, and the two of them walked into the teleportation magic circle together, and disappeared into the magic circle along with those mana particles.

When Noah followed my gaze, William and his friends had already walked in. Noah didn't even see their backs. Noah didn't see the strange color on my face, and he still seemed interested Bobo said to me: "The day before yesterday, Princess Sha came to the academy to look for you, but unfortunately you are not here."

While chatting with Noah, we slowly moved forward with the long line.

Beside the student team, there was a whole row of subordinates, almost every one of them was carrying large and small parcels, even the shield warrior subordinates beside Noah, except for Kalancuo who was beside me. And the Tauren Luka, the two of them only wore simple armor, and even the Tauren Luka's armor was still stained with some blood that had dried up.

Kalancuo carries a two-handed sword on his back, while the tauren Luka is a double-edged axe. No human warrior can ever underestimate an orc warrior. Going back hundreds of years, the relationship between orcs and humans was different. In battles of various scales, if there were no magicians and priests behind the human race, then the orc warriors would beat the human warriors in all aspects.

Finally, it was my turn to walk into the huge black hole like a crack in time and space with Noah. When I stepped into the teleportation magic circle, the rich space-based magic elements wrapped my whole body, like a huge silkworm cocoon. , and then walk through the endless darkness, without the need to control those huge cocoons, feeling that there are countless cocoons all flowing in the same direction, forming a river in the darkness.

Everything around me is unknown. I know that the endless darkness is the rift of time and space. Once lost here, the consequences will be unimaginable. Everyone will have an inexplicable fear of unknown things, although it only takes a few breaths , I saw a beam of light shining in front of me, and countless black cocoons poured into the door of light, but I still felt as if I had waited for centuries.

After rushing out of the door of light, my feet stepped on the solid ground, and a heart hanging in the sky finally fell back to its original place.

The complexion of Noah next to me did not look much better than mine. His face was pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Before we could take a breath, he was urged by the guards on the side and said: "You young magicians! My lord, please walk out along the stone steps in accordance with the order of the team, please don't stop and crowd at the entrance of the teleportation array, there are still people coming out from behind, so don't stop."

On the other side, there is a female voice like a silver bell who keeps saying to us: "Welcome to the proud sons of the Royal Academy of Magic to come to the mansion of the Duke of Samoyed, this is the mansion of the Grand Duke in Durva Province. On behalf of the Duke, I welcome you all, please move to the main dining room of the Duke's Mansion to have a meal, and then someone will arrange for you to take a short rest, and then enter the time-space gate of the Hierro plane in order."

Seeing the tauren Luka and Kalantso closely following me, Noah and I squeezed into the chaotic flow of people and slowly moved forward with the flow of people. The two followers of Noah also carried The heavy package followed us, and I don't know what kind of mess he brought. The two large packages were like two big bags. With so many supplies, if we practiced in the wild, we didn't wait for the danger to come. A follower will be completely overwhelmed by these two large bags of supplies.

But I didn't raise my voice of doubt, because looking around, the subordinates brought by other magic students, everyone has such an extremely exaggerated huge backpack.

This is a huge castle made of dark gray giant stone bars. Those of us are in the back garden of the castle inner fort. The lawn in the garden is very well trimmed, and the ornamental dark green shrubs are trimmed into neat circles by the gardeners. , the center of the garden is a large pool, and the exquisite jade corridor is built next to the pool.

Standing in this garden, you can see the main buildings on the side of the castle, those towering pointed buildings, majestic and solemn, narrow round arched thin glass windows, each tower building has , They are regularly and neatly arranged, and in the bright glass windows, there are even some curious eyes looking at the back garden. I guess those may be the family members of the Duke of Samoyed's mansion.

I sighed: "It turns out that the portal leading to the plane of Yero was built in the mansion of the Grand Duke of Samoyed!"

Walking in the back garden of the huge duke's mansion, I kept looking around, and felt a contemptuous gaze from a glass window. Looking past that gaze, a graceful figure quickly disappeared in front of the glass window, leaving only There was a familiar figure from the back, but it was a pity that he didn't see that person's face.

Noah is very familiar with various things in the Duke's Mansion, and said to me: "Of course, there is no place safer than here. Those planes are considered the private property of the Dukes, so these portals will also be built in the safest places. place. If we want to go to the Yero plane to practice, we need the permission of the Duke of Samoyed."

Noah said as he walked: "All the adventure groups who go to explore the Hierro plane will also pay a certain poll tax and transmission fee in the Duke's mansion, and will only be allowed to enter the Hierro plane after presenting a legal certificate."

"Do you still have to pay the poll tax?" Xueli asked in surprise, she also knew nothing about these plane transfer systems.

Noah turned to look at her, and said with a slight smile: "Of course, only after paying the poll tax, whether they are doing business in the Hierro plane, exploring in unknown areas, or becoming mercenaries of a certain legion, can There will be no more restrictions."

He has recovered from the chaos of time and space. He has one arm around my shoulder and the other around Xueli's slender waist. A youthful youthful vigor floats on his face, a kind of hope for future life. The beautiful yearning filled his face, and he explained to Xueli and me: "The next time they pay taxes, when they decide to return to the Grimm Empire from the Hierro plane and pass through this portal, the tax officer will count For all the property, you have to pay [-]% personal income tax to the Duke's Mansion, which is also a source of income for the Duke's Mansion."

I asked Noah strangely: "Isn't it necessary to pay 60.00% of personal income, the Duke and Emperor Charles each have [-]%, and what I can get is only [-]%?"

Noah laughed 'haha', he looked happy, something I didn't understand.

I just heard him say: "Oh! Dear Jijia, I think you must have made a mistake. The so-called three-three-four share refers to the share of the open plane territory, not personal wealth. Only the owner of the plane has the right to pay certain taxes, and this tax rate is only determined by the Duke."

I thought to myself: A plane rich in resources can have so many benefits. Not only can you lead people to expand the territory, but you can also recruit adventure groups to explore. It turns out that you can still do this.

Just when I was in a daze, Noah patted me on the shoulder, and the three of us followed the flow of people into a tall building.

However, Kalantso and Luka were stopped by the waiter of the castle, and then led them into the corner of the lawn of the castle garden, where rows of long tables were filled with exquisite food, and many of the servants were carrying dinner plates. Pick and choose on the food table, and then bring your own plate of food, sit on the lawn while resting and eating, very casual and comfortable.

Kalantso and I didn't eat dinner yesterday, and we were hungry all night. Luckily, the tauren Luka ate half a piece of toasted wheat cake last night.

In the morning, we didn't have time to eat anything, and we took the magic caravan directly to feel the Royal Academy of Magic. Now we are already so hungry that our hearts stick to our backs. Seeing those times, I have an urge to not want to leave.

Kalancuo looked at me with some hesitation, and followed the waiter to the buffet with Luka.

Seeing the exquisite food on the table, all kinds of exquisite pastries, the fried potatoes piled up like hills on the silver plate, and the golden white bread sticks in the wicker basket, Luka had a simple and honest look on his face. With a smile, he held a whole plate of fried potatoes in his arms, and then took out five arm-thick white breadsticks from the wicker basket and held them under his armpits. He strode to the pool and put the huge bull's head into the pool After a swig, he sat down against the fence of the sink, grabbed a white breadstick without ceremony, and started munching.

The waiter was dumbfounded, maybe he had never seen a tauren warrior eating.

When Noah and I walked into this huge spire-shaped building, we found that it was full of long tables and chairs, and people sat on those long tables and chairs one after another. Noah and I were at the back of the line. Location, when we walked into the main restaurant, most of the benches inside were already full of people, looking around the corners of the long tables, looking for an ideal seat.

Then suddenly found that there were still a few vacant seats on the long table opposite Qige and Lucia. Some students from the Magic Academy walked over and greeted Qige tentatively, but Qige dismissed them coldly. For a while, no one dared to sit opposite the queen-to-be, and Lucia was happy to have a leisurely time. Her suitors could only watch from a distance, but no one had the courage to sit in front of her. In front of grid.

I took the opportunity to pull Noah and Xueli, and walked over directly, sitting openly opposite Qige under the eyes of everyone, Lucia looked at me in surprise, and then smiled reservedly, very aristocratic Nodding politely to me, Qige watched me sit down with a layer of frost on my face.

Noah knew that Qige and I were good friends, so naturally he didn't think much of it, and ordered food from the maid in the castle on his own, but Xueli on the side seemed a little nervous, and the one sitting opposite was a magic pharmacist. One is the head of the Sword and Rose Club, no matter who is enough for Xueli to look up to, so she is a little nervous.

I greeted the maid naturally, and ordered a half-cooked thunder rhinoceros eye steak and a secret mane beast rib, as well as a mashed potato and a sweet soup. After ordering, there will be a maid from the castle Place a silver plate with a knife and spoon in front of the person.

It didn't take long before there was a series of waiters, holding huge trays with exquisite food in their hands, and placed them in front of me...
