Chapter 1: The Town of North

Next Chapter

Sequence--

The Shengyuan Continent is divided into five major powers, namely the Odin Empire, which is famous for its martial arts, and the Holy Blue Empire, which advocates magic, and the two are bordering each other, and they have been in a bad state for a hundred years. The north of the Odin Empire is a sacred paradise for the entire continent to civilize with peace, and the sacred paradise has implemented peace since its inception, and more than seventy percent of the entire country has learned light magic. To the south of Odin and St. Blue is the "Land of Chaos" - the Soto Federation. The last one is the Western Han Empire, the westernmost part of the continent.

The Odin Empire advocates force and mostly practices fighting spirit, the Holy Blue Empire that advocates magic is proud of being a magician, the Divine Heaven Specialty Priest, the Soto Federation is a huge federation composed of lichs, dark magicians, half-horses, goblins and other races, the area is the sum of Odin and Holy Blue, the Western Cold Empire is sparse in human beings, and the fighting spirit and magic are mutated ice systems.

The most central part of the Shengyuan Continent is the most special place, where it is the holy land of magicians and warriors, whether it is the supreme mage or the sword saint who shatters the mountains and rivers, they all yearn for the "Xuan Palace".

......

The southern part of the Holy Blue Empire, the small city of North.

The Shengyuan Continent is cold in the west and hot in the east, the days and nights in winter and summer are equally divided, the days are long in spring, and the nights are long in winter.

The sun hung in the sky, and the streets of the small town of North were mostly filled with thinly clad vendors.

Around the corner of the market, a faint gasp came from a dark and deserted alley, and a little boy only eleven or twelve was curled up in the corner, next to a few middle-aged people in light cloth clothes.

"Slap" One of the middle-aged men slapped him and scolded angrily: "Why is this all for today, is your kid hiding it privately." ”

The little boy trembled instantly, and tightened the copper coin in his arms even tighter.

"Ji San, teach him what to do"

"Yes"

A cold middle-aged man next to him answered.

The little boy is on his back, curled up, and covers his head with his hands. Because he knew it would hurt a little lesser. For the seven copper coins in his arms, it was worth taking a beating.

Just when the little boy couldn't take it anymore, the middle-aged man with a cold face stopped.

"Ka Ye, you understand the rules of North City, let you go this time, and double it next time, do you understand?"

"Understood...... Understood," Ka Ye said tremblingly.

Looking at the group of middle-aged people who were slowly leaving, Jia Ye took out seven copper coins in the inner pocket of his clothes with his gray little hands, one of which was still notched and could only be used as half an envoy, but it was these seven small copper coins that were very important to Jia Ye.

Because his grandfather said that he had a magical talent, what the magical talent was was vague to Kaba, who was only six years old at the time, but his grandfather said that if he had magic, he would be admired and live a good life.

After five years of begging life, Ka Ye understood that life is not easy, like today's middle-aged people to collect "protection money", he has experienced three years, the first two years of begging is enough for himself to eat, and he can save a few copper coins. From the third year onwards, Ji San's boss set his sights on him, and when he saw that Jiaye was begging and had something left, he asked Ji San and the others to draw a certain amount of "protection money" every month.

At the beginning, Jiaye's childhood was good, there was a grandfather, and he lived a simple and happy life with his grandfather, Jiaye's grandfather was also a priest, and he came to the Holy Blue Empire from the Divine Heaven, as for why he came from so far away, no one knows why. And Kaba grew up under his grandfather's education since he was sensible, and he also knew from his grandfather that he had a talent for magic.

When he was six years old, Kaba's grandfather left with only a letter, and the house between himself and his grandfather was forcibly taken away by a neighbor. The unfortunate Kaye wandered the streets and then began a life of begging for five years.

Looking back on the past five years, I could only spend the night under the eaves of other people's houses, and I had to leave quickly as soon as the morning dawned. There is both injustice and helplessness in my heart.

Looking at the seven old copper coins in his hand, Ka Ye took a deep breath, and thought in his heart, "Today, just today, I have saved enough one hundred copper coins to carry out magic guidance baptism."

"Magic Guidance Baptism" is when the magician of the Shengyuan Continent awakens the magic, he needs the guidance of other people's magic elements, this person must also be a magician, and only the magician can hook the magic elements between heaven and earth, match and adapt the magic elements to the awakened, and then further awaken.

The level of magicians in the Shengyuan Continent is divided into: junior magic apprentices, intermediate magic apprentices, senior magic apprentices, great magicians, magicians, magicians, archmagicians, magicians, holy magicians, and then there are magic gods who can hook forbidden spells with a word.

There are only a dozen Holy Demon Masters in the entire Shengyuan Continent now, and the number of Holy Demon Masters in the Holy Blue Empire, where mages are prosperous, is the largest, with three of them, Odin is one, and those who are far away in the Western Continent are two Ice Saint Demon Masters, and the Divine Heaven has two Light Saint Demon Masters, and the Chaos Realm has not announced that it has a Holy Demon Master.

The birth of a mage requires a great mage with enough magic power to match the six elements, and after determining the most adaptable magic element, the magic talent is awakened. These are not free, as a noble existence, it is impossible for a magician to spare a lot of time to awaken the magic talent to ordinary people, and the probability of the awakening of the magic talent of ordinary people is very small, and it is very good for one out of ten people to awaken the magic talent.

The Shengyuan Continent has a population of two billion, and the total number of magicians only fluctuates around fifty million, so you can imagine the preciousness of magicians.

For example, if you want to awaken your magical talent, the best time is at the age of six, and the latest is before the age of twelve. An awakening requires a silver coin, that is, a hundred copper coins that Xiao Jiaye has saved up, and the price of the magician's magical talent awakening is far more than these, for example, a small nobleman can ask a magician to awaken at a high price, because the higher the level of the magician, the higher the control and purity of the magic, and the more powerful the magical talent awakened for the awakened.

This is actually equivalent to paving a generous path for an Awakened Person, so that the mage's future path will be smoother.

In the case of civilians, people like Xiao Jiaye can only be awakened through the Magician Guild established by the Holy Blue Empire, and only one silver coin is required at a time, which is still the result of the empire's explicit regulations and giving the guild a certain subsidy.

It's hard to come up with a mage among civilians, but it's an opportunity to change the fate of suffering, and even if it's worth a silver coin that is worth a lot of money to an ordinary family, it's worth it.

When little Kaye walked into the Norse Wizards' Guild, this was the scene that appeared in front of him, a group of adults dressed in sackcloth with a group of childish six or seven-year-old children, waiting in line.

In addition to this group of adults and children, there was also an old man, who looked to be in his fifties, very short and thin, with a slightly hunched back, two deep-set eyes, deep and bright, looking very godly, his hair fell back very neatly, and on the left side of his chest, a fist-sized scepter was tattooed, and the top of the scepter stretched out with four aqua blue stripes, marking the identity of the old man's great magician.

The old man's gaze swept over the group of children, and when his gaze swept to Kaya, he paused. He didn't care, it was his job to help civilians awaken their magical talents, and as for dressing, it would be nice for civilians to wear a linen dress without holes. This kind of beggar-like dress of Ka Ye is rare, but it is not uncommon. It's just that I wonder why the child's elders didn't come, and this thought flashed through my mind.

Since Ka Ye can come in, it means that the fee has been paid according to the process, so just follow the process yourself.

The old man stepped forward and said with a smile: "Children, I am the Great Magician Mano, now I will awaken your magical talent for you and come to me."

As he spoke, Mano placed six elemental stones on the hexagonal pillar platform beside him, and the six elemental stones were for the children to test their talents.

"Step forward in order and put your hand in the center of the Elemental Detection Stone"

The first little boy put his hand in the center of the elemental stone, and suddenly, a layer of colored light rose, enveloping the child in it, starting from the fiery red light, representing the fire element, followed by the light of the water, wood, terroir, light element, into the little boy's body, and then, back to the elemental detection stone in turn.

Mano frowned: "I don't have any magical talent, go back and see if this kid can practice Douqi, next." ”

The Shengyuan Continent has no magical talent, so it can only consider the fighting spirit, and the fighting spirit also needs a certain talent, but the door bar is much lower than magic, if the fighting spirit cannot be cultivated, then it can only be an ordinary civilian, and it is not as good as a civilian who can not even have a little fighting spirit.

The father of the first child left with the child, and they knew very well in their hearts that becoming a commoner was the same as hitting a big luck, and they had a fluke mentality to give it a try, and if they succeeded, their worth would skyrocket, and they would get out of the current difficult life, and even become a person like the great magician of Mano with better talent, which is the glory of a lifetime.

The same scene continued to be played, and more than a dozen children did not even have the most common fire magic talent, and when it was the turn of twenty-one, that is, the little girl in front of Ka Ye, the fiery red light did not return to the elemental detection stone, and remained in the little girl's body.

Ma Nuo's eyes lit up: "Fire magic talent, come to me, come to me to test the purity of magic." As he spoke, he took out a fiery red crystal ball.

"Put your hand on the crystal ball," Mano's tone became much kinder. A pale red glow lit up, and nearly half of the crystal ball was filled with pale red light.

In an instant, Ma Nuo's gaze at the little girl changed, and the crystal ball lit up halfway, indicating that if you work hard, you can reach the fifth stage of the magician, this is even more powerful than yourself, there is a chance to go to Yunrui Province for further study, and even the great magician has a chance.

"Child, what's your name?" said Mano softly to the little girl.

"My name is Fen Shui Shui, and my parents call me Shui Shui," she said, and the little girl ran behind a couple. Mano looked at the little girl and then at the couple, straightened up the mage robes, and said to the young couple, "Hello, I'm Manuo, the vice president of this magicians' guild, if you can, I would like to recommend this child to go to the Yunrui Public Magic Academy in Yunrui Province to study, the president of our guild is from this academy, and he is also the only magician in our small town of North, what do you think." ”

The young couple glanced at each other, their excitement was overflowing, and the young mother said: "Yes, of course, we can go to Yunrui Province to study, of course we can't ask for it, but we are really ...... for the cost" After saying this, the mother's eyes dimmed a lot.

Mano smiled at her, "Then you don't have to worry, it is the glory of our guild that our small town of Norse can produce another magician, and we will bear the tuition problem, don't worry." ”

"Really...... Thank you so much, Grand Magician Mano. "Now the mother is completely relieved, who doesn't want their children to go to a good magic academy. I and my husband don't have to worry about the cost of their children's magic learning, after all, the cost of a slightly better magic learning is enough to feed five ordinary families, and families like young couples can't afford it at all.

Looking at Mano talking with the young couple, Kaye slowly lowered his head, he actually has a grandfather, who can accompany him to be happy, but since leaving that letter, the grandfather is gone, and he is the only one left, and the letter is only a short sentence, take care of yourself.

"Horse ...... Grand Wizard Mano, can I test it?" Ka Ye understands that only by becoming a magician can it be possible to change the status quo, just like a little girl, once she changes her fate, and even goes to study at Yunrui Public Magic Academy, and becomes a respected great magician after graduation, at least she will not be bullied like herself. Kaha clenched his fists and looked at Mano.

Mano walked over to the Elemental Detection Stone and said, "You've seen it for so long, so you can put your hands on it." After hearing this, Jia Ye stepped forward quickly, and put his hand in the center of the six elemental detection stones, his body trembled slightly, and after the colored light covered Jia Ye, first the fire element, then the water element, and then the wood element. Mano looked at it and shook his head, the elemental detection has passed halfway, and if there is no match, it should not be able to become a magician.

Ka Ye was slightly nervous, but he knew that he should be matched with the light element, and he believed that he also believed in his grandfather. The wind element returns, the earth element returns, and the Ka Ye stares at the light element stone. The light element fused into Ka Ye's body and penetrated into the limbs and bones, making Ka Ye feel the slightest softness, and the places on his body that had been beaten were also relieved.

Just when Ka Ye thought that he was going to awaken the light system, the light elements in his body seemed to be squeezed by some kind of force, and all of them poured out of his body and returned to the light element stone.

"Okay, the test is complete, you can go" Mano turned and walked towards the little girl, a talented little girl worthy of her own cultivation, and one day in the future the harvest will be far beyond her imagination. And Kaye was automatically ignored, and in Mano's opinion, he was the same as the civilian children before him.

Kaye froze in place, not hearing what Mano said at all. "Why...... Why, how could this be, didn't Grandpa say that I have a talent for light? Why can't the elemental stone detect it...... Ah...... "It shouldn't be like this!"

Flowing water streaked across his stained face, and Kaba's expression was slightly hideous, and the nails of his hands sank into the flesh too hard. This awakening is everything for Ka Ye, and now everything is gone, and the hundred copper coins he has saved in the past three years are for today, originally full of hope, but he didn't know that he was just gambling on luck like ordinary people.

But why, why did grandpa say that he had a light system? Kasa couldn't figure it out at all.
