The grassland, which is still calm, exudes a unique charm under the staggered breeze and the rising sun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the grasslands of the Far East, a new castle has been built from the ruins, and the people have regained their best reliance on the monsters for this land.

Behind the once-ruined castle, a majestic mage tower stands on the highest hillside, keeping watch over the castle, where the mages live.

In the past few years, after large and small monster siege incidents, the power of mages in the Far East has been seriously depleted, and all mages are sparing no effort to seek disciples so that the magic can be passed on.

But how can someone with magical qualifications be so easy to find? As a result, in the past three years, there is still at least half of the space in the place of the Mage Tower, which is very deserted.

Fortunately, although the number of mages has decreased a lot, and there are no very legendary archmages in charge, all the information is still well preserved, and as long as there is time, more and more people will always embark on the path of magic.

Today is still an ordinary day.

Young villagers don't have names, and most of the people on this continent don't, because [names] are very important things, and they can only give legends to remember.

It's been three years since those two adults left the land. The young villager thought so, wielding an iron hoe in his hand.

Since the death of the old king, the widow of the old king finally took over the position of the old king last year and became the new king of the continent.

So, the annual calendar has to be recalculated.

Wiping the sweat stains on his head, he needs to plough a large field in the spring of the new year, and there are many villagers who are as busy as him, all working hard for the life of the year ahead.

"Yo! It's a great day. A passing man shouted at the young villager.

The latter raised his head and greeted enthusiastically: "It's Uncle Blacksmith, what, why do you have time to go around today." ”

"Hahaha, don't mention it." The big man known as the blacksmith uncle smiled heartily: "The iron ore in the store has been almost consumed in the past two days, I have to go to the mining team to take a look, you know, there has been a shortage of iron tools in the city recently." ”

It is true that although the castle has been restored, there is still a large gap in the resources and tools of various iron tools.

But there is no way, these are all urgent.

The two exchanged for a while, and then went their separate ways.

In the city, soldiers wearing iron breastplates and armed with iron swords patrol in groups of five to maintain order in the castle.

These armors are a bit old and not very durable, but since most of the iron is currently used for construction and development, the castle's armed forces can only be maintained at this limit.

Palace.

The young king lifted his head from the pile of papers, looked out the window, and peered through the glass at the emerging castle.

His tired eyes revealed relief and joy.

This is the castle left behind by his father, and this land is the place he needs to protect, and it has his own people.

The old village chief had passed away last year, and although it was sad, there was nothing he could do. He buried the body of the old village chief in the cemetery, which is maintained by a special mage to keep the cemetery quiet at all times.

The old village chief handed over all the lessons of his life to the young king, who had been a child for three years and had become a man who stood up to the sky, and the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy.

"Hey, I don't know when those two will be back." He sighed, as if remembering something.

He still remembers very clearly that those two existents who saved everyone like heroes back then.

No, they are heroes!

With great force, they pierced the clouds that shrouded the continent and over the heads of everyone in the city.

They turned the tide when the city was besieged by countless monsters.

They slay the monsters as people were corrupted by the hell of death.

They stepped forward when the continent was enveloped by volcanic terror.

Now, where are they?

At first, as a child, I could only silently stare at their backs, watching them use their great power to destroy the monsters that invaded the village; Watching them walk into the gates of hell that we feared, and then walked out of it in style.

The young king put down the quill pen in his hand and shook his fist. The well-trained body is full of strength.

"One day, I will be able to defend this city with my own strength!" Smiling, the young king once again buried himself in the pile of papers.

"King! King! ”

At this time, a hurried voice came from outside the door of the study, it was the voice of the minister.

"Come in."

The entrance is the face of an old man full of joy.

"Them! They! The two adults have returned, and a mage-master saw them somewhere on the continent when he was out collecting materials! He said hurriedly, and his excited tone startled the young king.

Coming to his senses, the young king went straight past the minister and ran out.

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

After a long journey, Akai and I transitioned from the originally somewhat barren land to a large grassland.

Looking at the urgency on the prairie, it seems to be spring now?

"It looks like it's spring." I looked up and saw Akai beside me.

"Looks like we're on the right track." Akai pointed into the distance.

In our sight, a mountain peak reaches to the sky, almost running through the heavens and the earth.

There is no doubt that this is the volcano left behind by the Firedemons when they invaded the Overworld, and although the Firedemons are dead, the active volcano is still there. However, there are no signs of a volcanic eruption, and if there are no accidents, it is estimated that the volcano will be fine for a few hundred years, and perhaps never erupt.

However, the things that will be a few hundred years later are no longer within the scope of our dealing, and the affairs of future generations will be solved by our own descendants, and we have done our best.

"Whew, finally, it's almost home." I felt relaxed and calm.

"Let's go." Akai said, and walked down the hill.

I nodded, and followed.

At this moment, we seemed to see a figure in a blue cloak moving on the plain in the distance.

Akai and I felt very strange and excited, excited to finally see the existence of the aborigines, and it seemed that they were still a mage, because that dress was only worn by the mage tower and the mage guild. Strangely, the figure seemed to be staring at us for a while, and then seemed to stumble back, as if in a hurry.

"Keep up?" I asked Akai.

Akai shook his head, "We don't have any extra stamina, so we can only walk slowly." ”

It is true that although we have the heart to catch up, we do not have the physical strength to follow.

However, being able to see people proves that civilization is not far away, and Akai and I recollected our minds and continued to move slowly.

We had no food left, so when we were thirsty, we looked for water in streams or ponds, and when we were hungry, we looked for prey, and when we couldn't find prey, we roasted some wheat seeds to satisfy our hunger.

And so, gradually, two days passed.

And we, at last, also saw where home was.

At that moment, Akai and I seemed to have regained our strength, and we ran wildly in the direction of home, the iconic building that existed in our hearts.

Strangely, we didn't see any villagers in the village next to our house, and we probably moved away, and the fields in the village were barren.

Beyond the outer wall, Akai and I returned to our long-lost home.

It's business as usual.

It was my first feeling when Akai and I got home.

"Finally, I'm back." Akai went up to the second floor and flew to the bed. "Let me sleep in ・・・・・・ bed I've not seen in a long time!" After that, Akai fell asleep with exhaustion.

"Huh." I chuckled, put the staff I had been holding in my hand into my backpack, and made my study.

"Huh?" As I was looking around, I wanted to see a strange white scroll on my desk.

I picked up the scroll, and an envelope was crushed underneath.

"What is this?" I opened the familiar envelope, took out the letter inside, and read it carefully.

・・・・・・

When you read this letter, I believe you have returned. The ender dragon has begun to erode the Overworld, in a week, someone will come to meet you, this is all I can help you, the war with the ender dragon has lasted for a thousand years, as a god, I have long since exhausted my strength, and some are just a god. 】

[Combine all the powers, what you have done so far is meaningful, summon them in front of the ender dragon, as for how to summon, I believe that you who already have such power should know how to do it. 】

[This scroll is the last thing I can help you as a god, and then, it's up to you. 】

After reading the letter without a sound, I resealed the envelope and slowly opened the white scroll in my hand.

An aura of destruction swept over my face, my pupils constricted, and four large characters were printed on them.

[Lightning Storm]!
