Chapter 2

In the year 2889, the planet Elliott, which had been baptized by war several times after the creation of the world, was now divided into several pieces by major racial forces. Elves, humans, orcs and giants, angels, and demons rule several major continents, and their respective civilizations and constructions have developed rapidly under this rare peace, and even the demons and angels who are incompatible have been quiet for a long time, which has also ushered in the most prosperous period in thousands of years......

"Qin Shuo" Qin Yu called out his name softly, and he who had just woken up from a nightmare began to be in a daze in bed, and habitually began to recall that night that was both inexplicable and terrifying, which really made him puzzled. The only thing that relieved me was that he escaped death, and for no reason, he had an extra child and more hope for life.

Now that the children are almost eight years old, Qin Yu also named the child Qin Shuo. To this day, Qin Yu has not stopped secretly observing this child, but there is nothing unusual, and the big stone in his heart can be regarded as letting go with peace of mind. After escaping from the cellar that night, he sold the magical robe in which the child was wrapped and opened a blacksmith shop in the town of Miriam, on the border of the human land, laying the foundation for life for himself and his children. However, according to the judgment system of various countries in the world, children can participate in the enrollment of the major magic academies in the empire at the age of fifteen, which is a lot of money, and Qin Yu is also full of melancholy, but even so, as long as Qin Shuo is qualified to enter any academy, Qin Yu should also provide him with learning, because in this world, strength is the master of everything.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu sighed softly, the gloom on his face never dissipated, and he got up to see Qin Shuo. He pushed open the door, and expected that the candlelight in Qin Shuo's room was still on, only to see him looking down and seriously flipping through all kinds of low-level magic books and history books of various countries that Qin Yu had bought for him, and from time to time he was still chanting spells, trying to release some simple magic, but every time only a faint element condensed in his hand, and then disappeared without a trace. For this, Qin Shuo was very discouraged. A slow smile appeared on Qin Yu's face who peeked outside the door, he knew that before the enrollment of the major academies, there would be a soul baptism ceremony in each place to measure the magic affinity of each student, as well as the magic lines of the dredged body, and only then could the real gathering and release of magic begin. Of course, there are exceptions, there are some people in history who have not passed this path and are gifted with magical geniuses, and eventually achieve a career, but Qin Shuo is not, Qin Yu is also glad that he is not, when he thinks of the various bloody storms he will face in the future, Qin Yu would rather he live his life in peace and stability in everything. After thinking about it, Qin Yu quietly closed the door, even if he wanted to sell all his belongings, he must make sure that Qin Shuo would not become a mortal like himself. After Qin Yu made up a sentence firmly in his heart, he returned to his room and slept peacefully.

The next morning, when the sunlight quietly passed through the simple roof, slowly climbed onto Qin Shuo's small bed, Qin Yu gently knocked on Qin Shuo's door.

"Get up. Father's gentle voice then came into Qin Shuo's ears, Qin Shuo touched his sleepy eyes, slowly supported his body, and replied, "Okay, father." After simply dressing up, he went to the window, let the sunlight fill his room, stretched out in satisfaction, and looked out the window at the bustling street.

"My name is Qin Shuo, I am eight years old this year, I have no mother, my father said that my mother passed away when I was born, and it was my father who worked hard to bring me up. I have always tried to meditate in my leisure time as introduced in the book, although it is not of much use to do so before the soul baptism, but Qin Shuo still wants to lay a better foundation for myself, because I have never stopped fantasizing about the world of flowers outside, the mysterious and powerful mercenary world wearing black cloak outside the window, one day in the future, I will also become one of them and surpass them!" Thinking of this, the pitch-black pupils flashed with a strange light.

Although Qin Shuo is not very old, he is very sensible and well-behaved. But for some reason, Xue Jing, the son of the mayor of Miliam Town, didn't like Qin Shuo very much, and he picked on Qin Shuo's fault in everything, and even let the children in the whole town isolate him, resulting in Qin Shuo not even having a playmate in the town. This may be related to his own stubborn character, or it may be due to the family power, the other children are very afraid and flattering Xue Jing, but Mo is still straightforward, which is probably the reason why he will be isolated.

But Qin Yu felt that this was caused by his own incompetence, and felt that he was sorry for this child from the bottom of his heart. So Qin Yu also doted on Qin Shuo in every way, hoping to let Qin Shuo find more warmth in his body...

"Father, morning" Qin Shuo quickly went downstairs and greeted his father, Qin Yu looked back at Qin Shuo, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled gently and said, "Morning, child." It looks like it's time for you to go out today, right?" Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Shuo.

"Of course, father, I will definitely go. Qin Shuo made no secret of his excitement.

"Well, go ahead, remember to go early and come back early. As soon as the words fell, Qin Shuo shouted goodbye to his father and went out without looking back. Qin Yu smiled slightly, shook his head and continued his work.

Today is the day of the baptism of the soul in the town of Miriam, and many of the children who have reached the age come to the town square to test their abilities, or rather, to foresee their future. Many magic academies arrive here some time after this to pick their students, so it's definitely a busy day. Qin Shuo has never been absent on this day, Qin Shuo ran onto the street in a hurry and walked directly to the square. The streets were crowded with people, and whenever a mercenary, a mage in a robe, or a heavily armored warrior walked past him, he always cast adoring glances, and his young heart was full of yearning.

Just as he turned the corner and arrived at the square, he suddenly saw a pair of snow-white wings looming in the crowd, which immediately attracted his attention, could this be an angel? Qin Shuo was excited and slowly approached the place he was focused on
