Chapter 1: The Boy

I don't know how many years have passed since the discovery and use of the elements since ancient times, and it is everyone's dream to become a magician who can master and use the elements.

However, not everyone has the talent to master the elements, and even if they do, they cannot use the elements well.

This has become a huge moat.

With the evolution of human society, more and more science and technology have been produced, and scientists have developed corresponding scientific and technological products according to the characteristics of animals.

However, with the development of technology, the mage is still the highest combat power in war, which cannot be replaced by technology.

Interests have driven many magicians to come together, and thus powerful magician alliances have emerged, but only two empires, two families, and one alliance have always standed.

They are the Yu Kingdom that rules the East, the Miao and Snow families who jointly govern the West, the Ressa Empire that rules the North, and the Southern Oceans are ruled by the Domain Sea Alliance, which is a union of many islands.

Yangzhou City, Yu State, because this is the border of Yu State, so it is inevitable that there will be some mixed flow of people, and conflicts and fights are inevitable.

Coupled with the occasional haunting of dark beasts, it makes it even more difficult to manage.

In recent years, the state has attached great importance to the management of the border, which has changed the chaotic city of Yangzhou, but conflicts still occur occasionally, which is also difficult for the military and government to stop.

The desire to become a magician here is stronger than that of people in other places, because becoming a magician means being able to get out of here and develop in a bigger and safer city.

But I don't know what's going on, there are very few people who can become magicians, and only a few people in the entire Yangzhou City who can be counted on one hand have become magicians and walked out of this place.

Now several magicians in this small town are still second-order magicians who can't get along in some big cities, and they come here to find a position and enjoy Qingfu.

The scorching sun will not show mercy to the people here, it will only unscrupulously vent its anger on the people here.

The people here seem to have become accustomed to such scorching sun, and each has their own way of escaping the heat.

Today's Yangzhou City is particularly restless, because today's military and political magic testers will come here to find gifted magic seeds, but they will also help children who are not more than fifteen years old to test their affinity with the surrounding elements.

Only a mage can only be a mage if his affinity and surrounding elements reach more than 50%, and the higher the affinity, the better the person's talent.

Yangzhou Square, which is the landmark place of Yangzhou City, is also the venue of this test. So it's very lively, and people's emotions are higher than the heat of the sun.

"Li Kong. A shout woke up a young man who was in a daze, and he hurriedly answered, and Li Kong quickly walked to the improvised high platform.

"Put your hands on this sensing stone, close your eyes and concentrate your attention on this stone. The inspector sitting on the high platform spoke, his voice soft but slightly haughty.

"Oh oh oh, okay. Li Kong nodded vigorously and did as the inspector said.

Half a minute later, the white induction stone did not change, and the inspector shook his head in disappointment, it had been almost six hours since morning, but no one had been born who could reach fifty percent affinity with the surrounding elements.

This left him full of disappointment in this small town.

"Okay, you can open your eyes. ”

"Uncle, how can I become a magician?" asked the young man Li Kong nervously as soon as he opened his eyes, the immaturity on his face did not change because of nervousness.

Looking at the young man with a red face but bright eyes, the inspector didn't know how to answer this innocent boy for a while.

Slowly stood up from the seat, rubbed Li Kong's head, and said, "How old are you now?"

"Twelve years old. ”

"Well, you're still young, and you still have years to prepare, so if you work hard, you can definitely become a powerful magician. The inspector said softly, he really couldn't bear to break the dream of this innocent boy, so he could only comfort him.

"I know, I just didn't pass it. Li Kong's excited expression instantly turned into frustration, although he also came with the mentality of trying, but a teenager who did not have the dream of becoming a hero.

Loss is inevitable.

"Okay, kids, we'll come back next year, you come back next year, maybe next year you'll be a good magician. The inspector rubbed Li Kong's head again and spoke.

"Well, I will. Nodding heavily, Li Kong quickly descended the steps to the bottom of the field, because he wanted to know if anyone would become a magician today.

"Yo, isn't this Li Kong, why are you here?" a young man of the same size stood behind Li Kong and asked in a slightly sarcastic voice.

"What's your business. Li Kong didn't look back, and said in a flat tone.

"I don't know who walked down from it just now. The boy struck mercilessly.

"Feng Qisun. The inspector's voice came out again.

"It's coming. The young man who had mocked Li Kong just now shouted and hurriedly ran up.

After a while, a shout caused the whole square to boil.

"Congratulations to Feng Qisun for reaching fifty percent affinity with the surrounding elements and becoming a magician. ”

"This kid is really amazing, he actually became the first magician, he is really a genius. ”

"I really envy them, their family can get out of this chaotic place. ”

But Li Kong felt incredulous, he never thought that his bitter enemy for many years could actually become a magician.

This made him unacceptable for a while, but after thinking about it again, he also felt that there was nothing to enter his house.

His father was the only second-order high-level magician in Yangzhou City, so it was not surprising that he would become a magician.

Silently turning away, he had no interest in continuing to watch. Although I thought this in my mind, I was still a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Li Kong, that kid actually ran away. Feng Qisun returned to the position just now and found that the young man was long gone, and his little face turned green with anger.

But after thinking that he would soon become a magician, his little face raised arrogantly.

How can he, an ordinary child, compare with me, a magician, I want to compare with a genius in a big city, he is no longer worthy of me.

The dusk here is very beautiful compared to the heat of the day, but the people who live here rarely enjoy such a view, and everyone is busy with what they should be busy with.

Back Mountain, this is the collective name of this mountain that is not too high.

At the beginning of dusk, people who went to the mountains to play also rushed down the mountain, because there were occasionally fierce dark beasts in Yangzhou City at night, especially in this mountain, people naturally did not want to stay longer.

"Old man, why are you still alone, you haven't come down the mountain so late, aren't you afraid of the fierce dark beast?" Li Kong asked curiously.

Every time he came to the back mountain to relax, he would meet this rickety old figure, and he would become familiar with each other as soon as he came and went.

"You don't run up the hill alone, and you don't necessarily have to be afraid. The old man rubbed his face and smiled.

"I... I'm in a bad mood, that's why I'm here to relax. Li Kong blushed and quibbled.

"Yo, you're still blushing, hahaha. The old man pointed to Li Konghong's fluttering little face and smiled.

"Little one, come and tell me how you're in a bad mood. ”

Li Kong, who was worried that he had no place to vent his grievances, also sat down and told the old man what happened today.

The moon slowly took the place of the sun, and the night gradually enveloped Yangzhou City.

"I thought it was something important, but it turned out to be like this. The old man smiled absently.

Immediately, his expression immediately became serious, "Boy, do you want to be a magician?" ”

Li Kong was stunned by the old man's sudden question, and after a while, he nodded violently and said, "Of course I do." ”

"Are you willing to endure countless hardships and sweat?" the old man asked again.

"Yes, as long as I can become a magician, I am willing to do anything"

An incomparably firm voice reached the old man's ears.

In that case, we'll see you at this place tomorrow evening.

"Hmm. The boy got up and went down the hill with a happy mood.

The old man seemed to be worried and quietly followed the young man all the way, it should have been the time for the dark beast to appear, but surprisingly today, the dark beast was nowhere to be seen, and not even the smell was revealed.
