The small wooden house looks very simple, but the magic stone lamp on the small table shows that the owner here is not simple.

Murong Ling gently pushed open the wooden door, and in the creaking sound, the old man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

"Grandpa, I've come to see you. Murong Ling greeted softly, and immediately put the bag of medicinal herbs he had brought over on the pile of books stacked on the table.

"Ling'er, you're back. The old man's voice was particularly weak, and he struggled to sit up, but his thin, shrunken hands could not support his body at all.

Murong Ling hurriedly ran over, carefully helped the old man up, and then piled the pillows on one side behind the old man.

"You pay attention, you're so weak. Murong Ling seemed to complain a little, and then his little head turned around quickly, as if he was looking for something in the cabin.

"Don't worry, I'm not drinking. The old man said with a wry smile.

“...... That's good. Murong Ling snorted lightly.

The old man waved his hand helplessly, he was in the hands of this granddaughter, thinking that he was a famous drunkard back then, but after he couldn't drink because of illness, he was looked down upon by Murong Ling, and he didn't give him a chance to touch wine.

"By the way, Ling'er, how are you doing in the Mercenary Guild?" the old man suddenly asked very concernedly.

Murong Ling's movements stiffened for a second, and then he showed a rather reluctant smile.

"It's okay......"

"Can't you still find an opportunity to enter the upper echelons?" the old man frowned and sighed.

Murong Ling nodded depressedly.

"It's almost time to meet your father......"

"I'll try. Murong Ling raised his head and said seriously.

Glancing at his granddaughter, the old man nodded helplessly.

The old man can be regarded as the oldest generation in the family today, although due to illness and personality, the old man does not participate in the power core of the Murong family at all, and his son, that is, Murong Ling's father, Murong Yunhai is the patriarch of the current Murong family.

It has been ten years since Murong Yunhai became the patriarch, and in these ten years, Murong Yunhai has pushed the Murong family to a peak through his iron-fisted means, and it is also a first-class big family in today's Qiufeng City.

But Qiufeng City was only a remote town after all, and with Murong Yunhai's ambition, what he longed for was longer-term development.

The huge north, the legendary imperial capital, is the land of his dreams.

However, the development of the Murong family has reached a node. The only way to get through this stage quickly is that it takes years to accumulate foundation...... That is to form an alliance with other families.

And the most common means of alliance is marriage.

So Murong Ling, as the eldest daughter of the Murong family and the only daughter of Murong Yunhai, was treated as a commodity and was engaged to the heir of the Lian family.

This is the sorrow of being in a large family, and everyone can be a victim for the sake of the family.

At that time, Murong Ling was very resistant, and even made a fuss to the extent of committing suicide...... In the end, it was he, as a grandfather, who came forward to reach an agreement with Murong Yunhai.

Murong Ling gave up the inheritance of the Murong family, and at the same time entered the mercenary union to work, as long as he became a high-level power member of the mercenary union before the age of twenty, he would be disengaged.

But Murong Ling is now nineteen, and the deadline seems to be coming soon, and Murong Ling is just a counter lady at this time.

"That's right. Murong Ling suddenly turned around and waved outside the door. Chen Rui, who was dressed in a cloth suit, walked in. In the old man's puzzled gaze, Murong Ling said with some embarrassment, "Grandpa, this child was asked by Mu Yuan to me, and I have already accepted him as a disciple...... But you also know in my situation, the affairs in the union are too busy, so please teach this kid the preliminary theoretical knowledge. ”

The old man frowned, and after glancing at Chen Rui, he found the calmness in Chen Rui's eyes that did not belong to his age.

"Good. The old man nodded directly.

"Then I'll leave first, Chen Rui, this is my grandfather and my teacher. ”

"Good master. Chen Rui thought for a while, and then said very respectfully.

Murong Ling exchanged pleasantries with the old man for a while before leaving.

Then in this small cabin, only the old man Chen Rui was left staring dryly.

"I'm not in good health and can't get out of bed. The old man thought for a while and briefly explained his situation. "Since you are the person recommended by that kid Mu Yuan, there shouldn't be any problems. ”

It seems that Mu Yuan seems to have a very wide range of friends, and even the old men of the Murong family seem to trust him very much in his ability to see people, and it is hard to imagine that he can do it as a teenager.

"Since you have chosen Bai Ling'er as your teacher, let's see how your talent is first. The old man whispered.

Chen Rui's face changed, but at this time, he could only tell the truth, "My cultivation talent is very poor. ”

"For magicians, the talent of magic cultivation is only one aspect, and to become a magician, what is more important is the patience to keep learning. The old man shook his head, "Magic is based on theory, and we magicians learn to control magic to build spell models while studying theory......

The old man talked endlessly, what he said was some of the most basic common sense, but for Chen Rui, who had just come into contact with this magical world, all this was bizarre and magical.

He grew up in a world of science and learned the most important thing, and that is.

What is magic? Is it subject to the law of conservation of energy? What is the principle of magic in this world...... Countless questions come to mind.

"There's a copy on the table over there, go see for yourself, and I'll check how much you can remember tomorrow." The old man could see Chen Rui's strong interest in magic, so he commanded.

"Thank you. Chen Rui saluted politely, then ran to the small table on the side, and tiptoed for a long time before touching the very heavy magic introductory book.

It's great that there are books dedicated to it.

Chen Rui was happy in his heart, he was actually very disappointed when he first knew that he had no cultivation talent, after all, his mind was an adult, and he clearly understood how cruel this world with extraordinary power would be, if he couldn't hold the power, he would be very passive in the future......

But since magic is a kind of magic, it only takes acquired effort to learn it...... Then he will have a lot of confidence to learn from him well.

At the same time, it is also part of his wish, how is real magic different from the scientific knowledge he has learned before?

The words on the book are not familiar to men, but the magic is that Chen Rui can know the meaning of each character very accurately......

Holding the big book and looking at it, Chen Rui was fascinated.
