The young mage's name was Shesky Snow, and he lived in the suburbs more than a hundred kilometers from Burke. To be able to drive a wooden cart here, to be honest, it's not easy.

Not to mention that he was going to walk back.

The poverty of the youth can be seen.

In addition, he also led two children, wearing shabby mage robes, even if the knights didn't come to rob it, others would do it.

But if you listen carefully, the root cause of this matter turned out to be because of that car of codes.

"You mean, they're secretly withholding the civil code, the knights?" said Isha, bouncing out of her seat, her face pressed against Shesky in the cramped compartment.

"Isha, don't do this, your carriage is shaking, and the people outside don't look good. Ian hurriedly stabilized the body.

"Why is it bad to shake?" Nemesis interjected.

"You go catch the car, our plan doesn't change. Ian waved his hand and drove Nemesis to the coachman's position, and in the blink of an eye, Isha was almost grabbing Shesky by the collar.

"Tell me what's going on?" her little hands snapped up.

"This ...... I ......" Shesky and the two children beside him were frightened again, but the carriage began to move again, so they could only sit there and tremble.

After a while, when Isha sat back and talked to Ian, he asked Shesky to tell him what had happened.

This kind of thing started before his father died.

Calculate carefully, it was half a year ago, and what Ian wanted to investigate, the time was also right.

Under various pretexts, people looted various legal codes in the countryside or in the villages and towns.

In the past, the mage's code could only be placed in the Black Tower, but later, when the Ian family began to take charge of culture and education, libraries began to be built in various places, and some of the mage's knowledge slowly spread to the market. A legal code says that it is not expensive, but some enlightenment textbooks may be an opportunity for ordinary people to leap into the dragon's gate.

Shesky's father was a self-taught mage. He bought many codes from the black market or borrowed from the library, and he was self-taught, and although he had spent his entire life farming, he felt that he was able to light a cigarette with magic when he occasionally smoked.

It costs money to go to the Black Tower to study, and it is useless to learn the end, and when the code spreads to the market, many people do have this idea, and it doesn't hurt to learn magic as a hobby.

However, this is no longer the case.

"My house has been searched twice, and this time it has gradually weakened, so I thought about taking the books to the library and donating them. Shesky rubbed his eyes: "That's what my dad meant." ”

"The code should belong to the Black Tower, even if it is the Ian family, it can only be used under the authorization of the Black Tower. Isha took out a code of law from her spatial ring, which was indeed a very thick enlightenment book, and it was densely marked.

"But you don't really have control over the flow of these books. Ian said, "Otherwise, you won't be used by the Knights." ”

"Yes. Isha returned the book to Shesky and said, "Because it's all based on the trust between the Ian family and the Black Tower." ”

Trust each other?Ian seemed to hear something great, he scratched his ears and had a flash of inspiration, but Isha didn't say any more.

"But thank you, Sister Mage, these books should be given directly to the Black Tower. ”

"Little thing, but if you're willing to learn magic, the Black Tower will welcome you. ”

"I'm still ...... No...... I also have to take care of my younger brother and sister. ”

"Learn Magic...... Will it affect your ability to take care of them?" Isha was a little puzzled.

"Yes, because it is very difficult for mages to earn money for their families. Shesky took off the mage hat that his father had handed him and held it in his hand: "I heard others say that if you go to Covey City to study for about a year, you can learn a craft, and there is a shortage of such craftsmen in Burke City, so you can take your younger brothers and sisters over when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, Isha wanted to speak and stopped, but looking at the expectation that flashed in Shesky's eyes when she talked about it, she couldn't say anything, so she only sighed in her heart.

Silence fell back inside the carriage, Shesky looked down at the mage hat, Isha lifted the car to look out the window, and Ian stared at the two children hidden under the seats, worried that they would open their case.

"Finished?" After a moment, Ian spoke, "Let's talk about the most essential issues." ”

"Hmm...... Master, I'm thinking. Isha didn't look back.

"What I want to know is, who came up with the idea of sharing the Codex?"

"Your father, young master. Isha rubbed her temples.

"Then he must be aware of these books and cannot supervise them. ”

"Yes, I heard that Immortal Page once mentioned this matter, your father originally promised to ask someone from Cowi City to help, but it has been two years, and there has been no movement. Isha turned her head and looked at Ian: "Until the accident happened half a year ago, we couldn't count how many codes were in the people. ”

"Take the Codex, what do the Knights get?"

"Mage, with the Codex, you can theoretically train a mage. Isha said, "Many of the texts are annotated by the Immortal Page himself, and as long as you know the language of the Manda Kingdom, it is only a matter of time before you can train a mage through these enlightenment codes. No, I have to talk to Blacktower about it. Before she could finish speaking, Isha prepared to use her magic and tell the Black Tower what had happened here.

If this secret is punctured, what awaits the Black Tower may be a fierce battle.

But Ian held Isha's hand down.

"Do you think my father would not know about this?"

"Young Master...... What do you mean?" Isha was a little at a loss.

"This thing, just when we don't see it. Besides, if I make a small report now and someone finds out, the matter of my departure from the capital will be exposed. Isha, you sit down first, and we'll think about it. ”

Shesky watched their conversation, froze in place, and waited until Isha sat back in the carriage with a huff of breath before he looked at Ian with a sudden realization.

"You...... Are you...... Ian IV? That's it...... The legendary child of House Ian?"

Legend has it that when did he become the legendary person?

"Shouldn't it be a child who came back from the dead?" he looked at the boy his own age.

"Yes, we thought it was a fake thing to be about you going to panic at first. But the protocol doesn't lie, and the elves everywhere can see your panic protocol with your identity on it. ”

"God... spokesperson of the . Ian muttered to himself, looked up again, and asked, "Do you think what I said is true or false?"

Hearing this, Shesky was stunned for a moment, and then began to giggle.

"Mr. Ian IV, we all thought that the House of Lords would not let your panic be established. Because there have been people in history who have done similar panics, and they have all lost without exception. Your panic content, to be honest, will be scolded to death by the school teacher. "But maybe it's because you're a nobleman," said Shesky...... It was more sudden......"

"Fart! those people were scared of me!" Ian interrupted Shesky with a wave of his hands, "Isn't there any credibility to what I'm saying?"

"If everybody believes what you're saying is true, then you lose. Isha rolled her eyes.

"What if I lose, I don't have any money, but I'm still a god. ”

"Hmph. ”

Isha hadn't spoken for a long time, and Ian couldn't think of a reason for the Knights snatching the Codex for a while. Shesky and his younger siblings sat in the carriage with uneasy faces on their faces. Ian told them that he would either find a city to let them go, or he would listen to Isha and send him to the Black Tower to study.

The boy didn't want to, but maybe the word "no money" stabbed Isa's self-esteem, the daughter of a city lord from the north, said that as long as he dared to learn, there would be no shortage of money. She even pressed her badge against Shesky's leg, who began to struggle non-stop.

And soon, the next city arrived.

"Young Master, do you want to take him with you?" Nemesis held a flower umbrella, and the sunset could not find the umbrella, and Ian's face was shrouded in a shadow, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Isha also jumped out of the car, and the three of them surrounded the three of them, and Shesky hugged his younger brother and sister, shivering.

"It's all about how you choose. Ian straightened his clothes: "I'm not a man-eating demon either. ”

"Young master, demons don't eat people. ”

"Shut up. ”

Shesky looked up, his lips shivering slightly in the cold wind. After a while, he said to Ian.

"I'm going to the Black Tower. The boy seemed to compromise, but after saying this, he showed a relieved expression again.

"Well, I'll book you a room, and then come back to the Black Tower with me, my house is close to the Black Tower. Ian pushed Nemesis off his umbrella and bounced into the unknown town at sunset, ready to find a hotel to settle in.

Shesky bowed to Ian and Isa, nodded awkwardly at the sight of Nemesis, and hurried around him. The latter grimaced at him, and the demon's fangs frightened the two little children into whining.

A few kilometres further south, on the outskirts of the city, is a villa of the Ian family. In the tavern, Isha looked at the map of the city on the wall that served as a dartboard, and Ian saw a mountain range and river on the outskirts.

And the villa, just under the foot of the mountain.

"I'm not in a hurry to get in, if it's this terrain, we'll go up the mountain to have a look first. "Ian launched an offensive against the hollow powder peculiar to the South. The turquoise vegetable juice with cottage cheese and mint leaves, served with a little black pepper and dry bread cubes, is a favorite of Ian.

"There are a lot of elves and dwarves here. Nemesis looked around and saw that others were looking at him as well.

"To the south is the Elven Mountains, where there is also the mineral-rich Hera Furnace, which is the stronghold of the dwarves. Isha said, "But the devil won't come here." ”

"Elf...... And the dwarves?" Ian suddenly became curious, "Which side of the force are they close to?"

"Polarized, some elves worship magic and get close to the Black Tower. Some elves have formed an alliance with the dwarves and have no good temper towards anyone, but in recent years, many dwarves have been invited to teach by Kewei City, and they have a good impression of Kewei City. Anyway, I don't like the Ian family a little more. ”

Ian nodded, looked around, and suddenly asked again, "Isa, the hooded one is also a mage?"

Isha looked back and frowned.

"No, young master, that's 'Wu'. ”
