On the streets of the small county town, several drunken young men were staggering from side to side, shoulder to shoulder, singing loudly songs that were completely out of tune.

It was late at night, and there was no one on the street except them, and the singing was heard far and wide.

Suddenly, a man looked up, his legs weakened in fright, and he sat on the ground, pointing to the sky, his lips trembling.

The others looked up at the night sky together, only to see an incomparably swift sword shadow flash under the moon sky, and then disappear.

"Flying sword!" everyone widened their eyes and fell to their knees.

"A sword immortal was born......"

"Immortals, you can take me as an apprentice! I have a wonderful root, and I am a genius in cultivating immortals, but I don't have a chance!"

Xianxia is not shallow!

In the hotel room, Ivan knelt on one knee and didn't dare to come out. The black figure he called Master Ziggy stood motionless in front of the window, like a mountain holding him down.

His name was Ivan, his father was also called Ivan, and his grandfather was called Ivan, and in the eyes of Master Zieg, the man of the family who swore allegiance to him and served him for generations and generations was called Ivan.

Ivan's mind was spinning, and in this short time, he thought of a lot.

At the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of eighteen, his father, Ivan Sr., summoned him to the basement of his home, made him kneel on one knee in front of an old matryoshka doll, and spoke to him in a serious voice, completely subverting little Ivan's worldview.

500 years ago, the ancestor of the Ivan family, old Ivan, was just a craftsman living in a small village near Siberia, making matryoshka dolls.

Late one night, a man dressed in a black robe and dragging a rudimentary snow plow broke into the house of old Ivan and changed the family.

The black-robed man called himself Ziggy, a mage from the West who had come to capture escaped witches. The five unconscious girls on the snow plow were the witches he had captured.

Mage Ziggy was badly wounded, with a terrible scar on his lower abdomen, blood soaking his black robe.

In the dark European Middle Ages, the illiterate peasants were in awe of the priests and mages, and the old Ivan did not dare to slack off, took out the little food left in the house, and respectfully offered it to the mage.

After surviving the long day, Master Zieg grew weaker and weaker, and he called old Ivan and said that his body could no longer support him. He gave old Ivan two choices, one was to keep it a secret, he would kill old Ivan, and the other was that if old Ivan swore allegiance to him, he would protect old Ivan and make him prosperous and rich.

The boring old Ivan, who had long been tormented by poverty, did not hesitate for a moment, immediately knelt down and swore allegiance to Ziggy. Don't talk about glory and wealth, as long as he can eat his stomach every day, let him kill people.

Master Ziggy asked Old Ivan to move into the house the sturdy knots tied to the snow plow, the five unconscious girls, and then he began to do so in front of Old Ivan.

Master Ziggy's whole body was covered with black smoke, and in the constantly wriggling black smoke, skeletons, demons, and withered arms were constantly looming, and the appearance was very terrifying.

Mage Siegy chanted a strange incantation, and five wisps of black smoke came out, enveloping the five unconscious girls and sending them into five finished matryoshka dolls in the house, writing a few strange characters on each matryoshka doll. After doing all this, Master Ziggy asked Old Ivan to carry him on his back, go to a nearby town, and sneak into the house of the largest local rich man, taking advantage of the dark night, Master Ziggy once again urged the black smoke, and in just a few breaths, dozens of people in the rich man's family were killed together, the death was terrifying, his face was black, and the essence and blood of his whole body seemed to have been sucked dry, leaving only a shriveled skeleton.

Old Ivan swept away the rich man's gold and silver treasures and fled back to his home overnight.

The last thing Master Ziggy did was wrap himself in black smoke and send it into the last nesting doll.

Old Ivan took the money of the rich man's family, moved to another place, married a wife, had children, and spread out, and the Ivan family began to prosper day and again. Those five nesting dolls were regarded by him as treasures and became the most valuable inheritance of the entire family, passed down from generation to generation. When the eldest son of the family reached the age of eighteen, his father would tell him the secret himself, and make him kneel in front of the matryoshka doll and swear allegiance to Master Ziggy.

Whenever the family was in trouble, the patriarch would wake him up with a spell left by Master Siegy, and usually, the mage would come to his aid.

Over the years, the Ivan family grew stronger and stronger, and conflicts began to arise within the family. Two of them were the deadliest.

One was in 1907, when the second son of the Ivan family was dissatisfied with what the eldest son did, broke away from the family, secretly took a nesting doll to join the army, and came to China with the Fourth Infantry Division of Tsarist East Siberia.

In order to take revenge on the family, the second son deliberately buried the nesting doll he stole into the deep foundation of Sophia's church, and his vicious curse family would never be able to make up five nesting dolls.

The second crisis occurred in 1917, when the tide of the October Revolution swept across Russia, and the Ivan family, which was already on the rich side at that time, was greatly affected. Although the Ivan family can pray for the help of Mage Ziggy, no matter how powerful the mage is, it is impossible to fight against the entire country. In order to avoid the whole family being wiped out, the patriarch at that time had no choice but to divide the remaining four nesting dolls into four parts, three of which were given to the three younger sons, and let them each flee for their lives.

In those days, many White Russian nobles went to China to escape the limelight, and the three younger sons also followed these nobles into China through the northeast, and on the way to escape, three of them were separated, one stayed in Harbin, known as the Moscow of the East, one went further and went to Mukden, and the last one went to Jinmen.

And the patriarch himself took his eldest son and carried the last nesting doll containing the mage's body across the sea, arrived in the United States, and settled there.

With the powerful mana of Master Ziggy, Ivan also mixed well in the United States and gradually gained a firm foothold. It's just that once when the mage made a move, he was targeted by a mysterious person. He followed all the way to the Ivan family, claiming to be a member of the Mage Alliance, and that the Matrichea Doll was also a member of the Mage Alliance.

At that time, the patriarch of the Ivan family naturally joined this mage alliance, and in the future, in order to adapt to the changes of the times, the mage alliance established the Black Wind Company, using the company to make a lot of money, and has purchased all kinds of resources needed by mages.

As they spent more time in the Black Wind Company, the Ivan family learned that this alliance of mages was just their name. They are known as the Dark Wizards Alliance, as most of the mages in this alliance use evil dark magic. For example, Ziggy is known as the greatest necromancer of all time, and the source of his power is to draw the souls of the dead from the dead for his own use.

In the Western world, the alliance of dark wizards is opposed to the Illuminati, an alliance of mysterious underground churches. The war between the two has been going on for thousands of years, and there have been tragic duels and temporary cooperation. The battle was so exciting that it could be a tome.
