On the summer night of the year 2723 of the Atlantean era, in a small town in the eastern part of the empire, a woman was giving birth at home.

The process was painful, and her husband was restless, but he had no choice but to pace back and forth outside the door. As he paced, he stumbled upon the fact that the moonlight was very strange and bright today, which should be a good omen.

In the capital of the Empire, Tavasis, the leader of the Tower of Eternity, felt that tonight was unusual, so he went to the top of the tower with clouds on it, and he saw the celestial phenomena through the clouds, some hazy symbols indicating the northeast.

"Mentor. "There's a guy knocking on the door of his office.

"Lord Tavasis has gone out. The servant opened the door and said to the young man at the door.

The young man seemed a little surprised, and asked if he could go in and wait for him to come back.

"At such a late hour, there must be something important. Tabasis emerged from the end of the cloister, his hair and beard were white, his eyes were deep set off by the furrows of his face, and his grand robe and calm tone gave him a sense of majesty, but apart from these he looked like an amiable old man.

The young man turned his head, handed over the document in his hand, and said, "A letter from the lord of the Eastern Province of Ardan, which says that you must untie it yourself, has a magic seal on it. ”

Seeing that Tavasis had any process of urging magic, he directly opened the fire paint seal. He took out the letter inside and glanced at it, his expression moving slightly.

"What's wrong?" the young man asked.

The letter said that their tower had observed something unusual in a small town, and that the whole town was shrouded in bright moonlight, and that the letter was clear as clear as snow. It should be a vision of talent. It seems that a genius was born, and I have to go there myself with such a big vision. Tavasis didn't see much emotion, and his tone was still calm.

But the young man in front of him, who called him his mentor, was very surprised and said, "How talented is this vision?

"I just know after reading it, let them prepare to activate the teleportation stone, I have to change my clothes first. With that, Tavasis walked into the room.

"Okay!" said the young man, stepping on the breeze, and unbuttoning his magnificent magic robes as he walked, it seemed that he was going to go with his mentor.

Tavasis entered the room and ordered his servants to take out the simple mage robe, and then stretched out his hand to suck in a copy of the imperial history in the study, which hovered in front of him and flipped rapidly......

When Tavasius, dressed in linen robes, appeared in front of the portal of the Tower of Eternity, he was surprised to see his students dressed in high-profile gowns.

"Why are you dressed so pompously?" Tabassis wondered.

The young man was stunned for a moment: "You are dressed so low-key, I heard that this is what the envoy of the tower wore when I was born." ”

Tavasis sighed and explained, "The province of Ardan is relatively poor, and the villages there are not too rich, so you don't want to dress so highly. ”

"Understood. With that, the young man began to undress.

Tavasis tilted his head and secretly felt that the sentence was immoral.

The teleporter's magic circle was lit up, and pillars of light surged. By the time everything was calm again, the two had disappeared.

"Where is the source of the vision?" Before the light of the teleportation array of the towers in the province of Aldan had completely dissipated, the young lord Medanzo had already heard the calm and soft voice of Tavasis.

When the two of them showed their figures, the young man saw Medanzo, smiled at him and waved his hand, he should have known him before.

Medanzo looked very surprised, looked at the visitor several times before he was convinced, and then immediately knelt down, and the mages of the Aldan Tower had already knelt down.

"The student Medanzo, who had the privilege of studying in the tower for three years in the year 2,710 of the National Calendar, did not expect that Lord Tawasis would come in person. ”

With a kind smile, Tavasis gently lifted everyone up with his magic, and then came to Medanzo's side, patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "I heard Ansher mention you, every time he went to teach the students of the Tower, he would complain to me that it would be nice if the other nobles could be as serious as you. You're good, either as a Tower cadet or as a lord. Hearing this, the young man beside Tawasis raised his hand and waved at Medanzo, indicating that he was very interesting.

"The province of Aldan is still not wealthy, and the students deserve such praise. ”

"Everything should not only be based on the status quo, but also on progress. What's going on in that town now?" Tabasis didn't dwell on the issue, but went straight to the point.

"It's still unclear, but the teleportation array to Griffin Town is down there, please come with me. ”

The light lit up and faded, and the mayor of Griffin had been waiting in front of the teleportation table with his guards for a long time.

Medanzo turned to the mayor and asked, "Has the source of the vision been located?"

The mayor was very ashamed and said, "The vision is magnificent, and the tower mage you sent here has not been able to find out the location. ”

The tower mage knelt down behind the mayor and saluted Tavasis, who signaled for the mage to excuse himself, and then walked out of the town's humble "teleportation court", he looked up at the sky, the moon was extremely bright, and he could even feel a trace of temperature, like the sun obscured by thin clouds.

Tavasis's linen robe was swung up by the magic power, and the windless automatic, pure attributeless magic spread out in circles, and the information fed back helped him quickly understand the town.

"Found it...... It is indeed a vision of talent. After more than ten seconds, he stopped spreading his magic and turned his head to say.

"Alright, martial law is lifted, and you can go home. Thank you all for your good work tonight. Medanzo said to the rest of the people.

The mayor hadn't practiced much magic and couldn't see the way Tabhasis had just cast, so he asked, "Don't you need me to send soldiers to protect your lords? ”

"It's okay, you can go back and rest. Medanzo waved his hand and motioned for him to leave. The mayor bowed, turned and led the guards away.

"I, the mayor of the town, don't know how to be polite, and I ask for your forgiveness. Medanzo apologized to Tavasis.

Tavasis smiled and shook his head, "Neither the Tower nor the Empire have any rules that say that you need to kneel down when you see me, what a crime. ”

"I think this is what the Imperial Decree calls 'due respect.' Medanzo said.

"Hahaha, the laws of the empire also say that barbers should be treated with due respect. Let's not talk about that for now, let's get down to business first, the moonlight has begun to gradually darken, and I guess the child has already been born. ”

The three of them walked to a small house on the outskirts of the town, and walked down the muddy street, but the noble group did not have any impatient expressions, when suddenly Tabasis stopped and began to feel his pockets.

The other two immediately stopped, and Ansher asked, "What's the matter, Mentor?

Tavasis was a little annoyed by the detachment, and he shook his head and said, "I came to visit suddenly, and I forgot to prepare a gift. Just touched my pocket, and there was only one gold coin. ”

Hearing this, Ansher immediately began to feel for his pockets, but he didn't find anything.

Medanzo took out his money bag, handed it to Tavasis and asked, "I left in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything, I don't know how much the adults want to send." ”

"What are your customs here?"

"There was nothing special, but Griffin was poor and should not be too generous, otherwise he would easily be coveted by others. ”

Tavasis nodded, left five gold coins in the purse, returned the rest to Medanzo, and said to him, "I have given them this purse, and the tower will compensate you then, but if it is memorable to you, I will return it to you." ”

"It's okay, the small things you bought are not worth much. Medanzo bowed slightly, and then handed the paperwork in his pocket to Ansher, "I'll wait here for the two of you, I hope tonight is worth it." ”

The master and apprentice of the tower nodded, both of them were dressed very plainly, and it was indeed a little strange to have the solemnly dressed lord Medanzo.

Tavasis and his apostle Ansher continued on their way, and finally reached the small house.

Ansher stepped forward and grabbed the firewood, but could not hear any sound from the door.

"It's bad, I haven't been born yet, and the moonlight is beginning to fade, which means that both mother and child are in danger. Tavasis felt it slightly, and his brow furrowed.

"What then, kick in the door and save people?" Anschel stepped back and obeyed the instructions.

"Don't do anything like Meng Lang, let's visit and not rob, and knock on the door again. ”

After a few minutes, a man finally came to open the door, he didn't look too old, about thirty years old.

"Who are you?" the man's forehead was covered with sweat.

"We're from the Tower, and if you're not mistaken, your lady is in labor. Ansher negotiated.

"That's right...... How do you know?"

"The moonlight is extremely bright tonight, this is the vision of the talent brought about by the birth of Ling Gongzi. This is only the fifth time in the nearly 3,000-year history of the empire that such a large-scale talent vision has occurred. Tabasis said.

"How do you know it's a son? The child hasn't been born yet?" the man frowned, feeling that the two of them were dressed plainly, probably just a wandering mage.

Tavasis smiled slightly: "Because the first four times were alternating between men and women, I guess that this time it should be a boy, can you let me in and have a look, I feel that Madame Zun's aura is gradually weakening." ”

"How can I trust you?" Although the man was very anxious now, the territory of the Orcs and Dark Elves in the east of the Aldan Province was not peaceful, so he did not dare to take it lightly.

"Anschel. Tabasis whispered the name of the apostle.

Ansher took out the paperwork and handed it to the man, and the man twisted it with his fingertips, and a very faint wisp of magical power was transmitted to the paper.

"Two adults, please come in, my wife is going to die. After checking the authenticity, the man quickly let the door out.

Tavasis was not too nervous, and called out Ansher's name and ordered: "To draw a healing circle, you must add concentration, qi concentration, paralysis, and suppression. ”

"Okay!wait, why suppress?" Anschel scribbled with his finger a volley of intricate and beautiful geometric figures and Elven characters.

Tabasis ignored him, went into the bedroom and asked the midwife, "How many have you given birth?"

The midwife was very anxious, and kept cheering up the woman who was already too weak to moan on the bed, but did not notice the arrival of the two.

"Answer him. The man following behind shouted anxiously.

The midwife woke up from a dream and replied, "It's stuck in the neck, and if it continues like this, it may cause the child to suffocate." ”

Tavasis looked back at Ansher and asked him if he understood.

Ansher sighed and sighed that only one head came out was so powerful, wouldn't it be to go to heaven when he came out, and then waved his hand to scatter the magic circle he had drawn before, and redrew a bigger and more complicated one. After quickly finishing the drawing, he adjusted the position of the circle, stretched his arms to expand the circle, and then his muscles were exposed, and the circle was slapped to the ground with the palm of his hand. Then he reached out and pulled off a small white-green gem from the bracelet and threw it into the center of the circle.

The small gem fell into the circle and melted like butter, and the circle was instantly activated, revealing three levels, and just as Ansher was about to drive the circle into action, Tavasis stretched out his finger and added a few more strokes to the circle.

"Drawing a three-layer circle is like this, and you have to deduct points for your grades this semester. Tabacya said calmly.

"Mentor, it only took me twenty seconds to draw this circle, which is already very good. Ansher said with a bitter face.

The three-layer circle began to work, and the woman who had collapsed felt that she was gradually regaining her strength, and the moonlight outside the window became much dimmer than it had been at the beginning.

"The rest is a matter of time, sir, and I'd like to talk to you if it's convenient. Tavasis turned to the man.

The man invited the two magicians of the tower to sit down in the dining room, poured a glass of water for them, and said, "Thank you so much this time, I am very sorry for the poor hospitality." ”

"As long as your wife and children are okay - now I will tell you something more difficult, and I hope that after we have told you, you will be able to choose as you wish, and of course, we will not force you, whatever the outcome. Tabasis's voice was gentle and convincing.

"Excuse me, by the way, I haven't asked for the names of the two adults. The man took a towel to dry his sweat and try to look decent.

"I am Tavasis, and he is my apostle, and his name is Ansher. Tawasis calmly introduced himself.

"Tower...... You, are you!" In this country, there are three names that will be known to everyone, one is the unspeakable emperor who symbolizes the sun that never sets, the other is Tavasis who stands on the very edge of the tower, and the last one is the saint who worships the sea and the abyss, Dialson.

Tavasis raised his hand to indicate that the matter was not worth being shocked about, and then continued: "I am who you think I am, but please wait and be surprised, because what follows is very important, please listen patiently - your child, he has a very strong magical perception, this powerful talent I have only seen in books, so I want him to come to the tower to study at the age of six." But before he is six years old, I must seal this talent with a magic circle, and when he is six years old, I will have my apostle come and take him to the imperial capital, I hope you will agree. Ansher smiled at the man very sincerely with the tutor, as if to say, "Please, you must say yes." But the actual thought in his mind was, "No one with a brain would refuse this kind of thing." ”

The man listened carefully and asked, "Sorry, forgive me for my ignorance." I'm not a talented magician, so I don't specialize in magic, but I've heard that the sooner you learn magic, the better. ”

Tavasis nodded: "For normal circumstances, this statement is not wrong, but your child is too special. You should know that the flow of magic helps the body to grow and slow down aging. This is why most people with high magical talents are taller, longer-lived, and more handsome. Seeing that the man nodded, Tabassis continued, "But take the first great man recorded in the history of the empire, because of the lack of understanding of this situation at that time, he finally grew to nearly fifteen feet tall, and his bones are exaggerated. In addition to this, there are some other problems. Because practicing magic also requires a high level of physical fitness, which cannot be brought about by magic, but is based on the strength of the body itself. Therefore, because the adult relied too much on the rapid improvement of his perception ability in the early days and neglected his physical fitness, the strength of his body was unable to withstand the strength of magic, which was also one of the important reasons for his untimely death. ”

At this time, the midwife came out and said to the man, "Sir, the mother and child are safe, it is a boy." ”

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully to Tavasis: "My lord, you are the benefactor of our whole family, from today onwards, my life is yours, whatever you command, let me send it." ”

Tavasis shook his head and said, "This is just a gesture, you don't need to be polite, by the way, this is an uninvited gift, I went out in a hurry, it is not very decent, just accept it." ”

The man opened the bag and found that it was five gold coins, so he pushed it back and said, "This is too valuable, you have already helped me so much, I can't take this thing anymore." ”

The currency in Atlantis is divided into five grades, the most basic and widely circulated are gold, silver and copper, the base system of these three currencies is one hundred, say a price reference, a beer in the tavern is roughly seven copper coins, so for a family that is not too wealthy, one gold coin is enough for them to live for a long time. On top of this, there are gold coins, black gold coins, and crystal discs, the base system of these three is ten, but black gold coins and crystal discs are high-grade currencies for specific purposes that only circulate in the upper echelons of the empire, and if they are in the general market, they cannot be circulated. Among them, the crystal disc is the most special one, it is a special mineral, which can be used to store magic power, although it is not as much as the magic gem stored, but because it has the ability to store repeatedly, it is loved by many mages.

"It's nothing to me, but it can make your family better, so please don't squirm and take it. Tavasis wrapped the man's hand and pushed it back, and then he did not give the man time to refuse, and began to say: "I will go and seal your child in a while, and you will spend the next six years trying to let him read as much as possible, and also train his body to be stronger, and when he is his sixth birthday, Ansher will come as scheduled." In addition, we hope that you will keep your child confidential and do not inadvertently cultivate his arrogant mentality, which will not do him any good for his development. ”

The man solemnly agreed, and then suddenly remembered a question and asked, "Why is it that my wife and I are both people with no magical talent, but our children have such a strong talent?"

Tavasis shook his head and said, "Even I can't explain the Wonders of the Universe, but what I can tell you is that although such things are rare, they still happen from time to time, so you don't need to worry about it, it's normal." ”

"By the way, my lord, I have a reluctant request that you choose a name for my child. The man pleaded.

Tavasis bowed his head and muttered for a while, "It's a boy, then—let's call it Creel Munn, and the meaning of the clear moon is just right for tonight's vision." ”

"What a good name, thank you, sir. The man bowed several times.

Tabasis walked to the bedroom, the exhausted woman was already asleep, next to the newborn crying baby, Tabassis stretched out his finger and gently touched the newborn's forehead, and Muen fell asleep peacefully under the gentle force.

"Since you're the one who will pick him up in six years, let you draw the seal yourself. Remember to be sure to support him for at least six years. ”

"Can I add a final score if I do it? Ansher said humbly.

"If you don't do it, you will definitely lose points. "Tavasis doesn't eat it.

Ansher sighed and began to draw his circle. This time the circle was very complicated, and Ansher wanted to keep his scholarship as much as possible, so he drew meticulously.

This time, the circle took the young archmage a full half an hour.

"It's done, do you see anything else to revise, Mentor?" Ansher said respectfully after the drawing was completed.

"Yes, add it. ”

After a while, the three of them walked out of the house and came into the courtyard, where the dark fragrance of the summer night floated, and the moonlight outside the house had returned to normal. The man said to Tabasis, "My lord, I can't tell you anything, but your gift has solved my urgent need. My family just owes some money, and with this, I don't have to worry. ”

Hearing this, Tavasis was slightly concerned and asked, "What do you do, and how can you owe money?"

"Lord Hui, I am a clerk in this town, and my monthly salary is only forty silver coins. My wife owns a small shop, and it's been a bit messy lately, and business isn't doing well, so there's some loss. The man replied fifteen-ten.

Naturally, Tavasis could see if a man was lying, he nodded his head in approval, and it was getting late, so he said goodbye to the man, who sent them to the door, and then went back.

The street was empty, the twilight was dim, and Tabasis looked to the end of the long street.

There was a tall black figure with a man in his hand.

"Diashon. Tavasis called out the man's name, "I didn't expect you to come too." ”

The man named Diaxun stepped out of the shadows, revealing his handsome and grim countenance. He threw the man in his hand who did not know whether he was alive or dead in front of Tavasis and said, "You can get the news from far away in the imperial capital, and the orcs and dark elves in the east will naturally know about it. He's still alive, I'll kill the rest, you're welcome. ”

"Thank you for the gift. Tavasis smiled.

There was the sound of the tide surging, and Di Yaxun gradually disappeared into the darkness, and before leaving, he glanced at a corner.

"The oppressive power of Diaxun's predecessors is really increasing day by day. Ansher smacked his tongue.

Medanzo walked out of the alley that Diaxun was looking at when he left, and some cold sweat broke out on his face unconsciously, and he said to Tavasis: "I seem to have been targeted by someone just now, that person seems to be very strong......"

Tavasis smiled, "It's okay, it's the Sage of the Sea and the Abyss, Dialson, who came to join in the fun, and gave me a gift by the way." As he spoke, he pointed to the man on the ground who was motionless, "By the way, Muen's father, he is a clerk in the town, you should take care of it." ”

"It's actually the Holy One who is here, and I'm rude. I wonder who Muen is?" Medanzo was a little puzzled.

"This is the name that the tutor has just given to the child who made a big fuss, and his full name is Creel Munn, which means Bright Moon. Ansher said.

"I won't bring this man back to the Tower, you can judge him, I believe in your ability. Tabasis said to Medanzo.

After that, the two of them left the city, and all the Gentiles who approached Griffin were killed by Diason and his disciples, and the Muen family moved out of the town a few months later, and the man considered himself lucky to have the opportunity to work in the city of Lords with a lot of money after only a chance sign-up, which he interpreted as the good fortune of the child born with the moonlight.

Actually, it's because of this.
