When the first rays of morning light lit up the sky, Bran opened his eyes as well. The black cat flowered on his lap and stretched a comfortable waist with his mouth wide open.

Moving his body slightly, Bran rekindled the campfire and began to prepare breakfast, Flowey squatted on the side with a look of urgency, but I was obedient, waiting for Bran's service.

......

Dani smiled as she looked into the distance at the smoke rising from the humidity of the early morning.

......

Bran was on the road with Huahua in his arms, he was thinking about a problem, how to get the monster to swallow his magic star cluster, if it was only a slightly larger beast, it would be easy to do, he could completely break his mouth, but how could he break an ant or a mosquito?

In the absence of mana entanglement, the cluster and the organism are completely in two different latitudes. Can he really stuff a magical star cluster into an animal's mouth?

From a probabilistic point of view, there shouldn't be too few individuals in a large colony who can transform into a magical form, so as long as you find a hive and an anthill, you should be rewarded by spending more time nearby.

A small group of knights in the distance trotted in this direction, and Bran did not avoid it, this was the knight in the castle who rotated to patrol the Northlands.

When the knights spotted Bran from afar, they began to speed up, and it was beyond the range of a child who could walk on his own, and they were ready to bring the child back safely. It's their duty, and it's a code of conduct that every Northland adult will follow. After all, bear children are bear children, and there will always be some children who will slip through the net and sneak outside. But soon they found out that something was wrong, and several white wolves who ran over with the team first actually made out with the child, and then they noticed the black cat next to the child, as well as the swirling starlight. As they got closer, they finally recognized Bran.

"Bran!?Why are you here alone, Dany?"

Bran shrugged and said, "It's me, I don't have to look for it." And even if you like my family, Dani, at least show that you care about me first. You know, you can't marry my Dani without my blessing. ”

Amid the laughter around him, the young knight began to blush, and said, "Well, little Bran, why did you get here alone?"

Bran raised his face proudly, pointed to the faint markings on the eye frame, and said proudly, "Acquaintance, my trial has begun." ”

All the knights followed Bran's words and focused their attention on his face. Then a group of big men from the Northland surrounded the child, taking turns, and looked at it closely, as if they were watching a monster. Well, it's actually just looking at monsters.

Some knights release their falcons and fly towards the castle, and they need to make sure that this information is accurate. During this time, they made small talk with Bran.

"What is this?" said the knight pointed to Starlight.

"A form of magic. ”

"Your abilities have improved?"

"Hmm. ”

"Why don't you ride a horse?"

"If you can die one less, count it as one. ”

The knights were silent for a moment, and someone said, "You will be back." ”

"Let me help you take a look at the weapons, you must know that after the ability is improved, the weapon repair is also a little improved. You're always going to wear out some of your weapons on this tour. ”

The knights rejected the tempting offer, "You better save some strength and practice in peace." ”

"It's okay, you have to do something before you go into the wasteland. At least leave some traces so that you can more or less remember what I am. And, fiddling with these weapons now, there is no burden on me. ”

So the knights chatted with Bran as he reworked everyone's weapons with ease and pleasure, at a speed they couldn't have imagined.

The knight, who watched this scene, said casually, "I really don't want you to risk this trial. ”

"We're Northlanders, and we have to follow tradition," Bran said. I just wish that the sword I made would have the name Northland Bran engraved on it. Even if I die in trial, I'm still Bran of the Northlands. ”

The snow falcon released by the knight flew back, and the knights who confirmed the news said goodbye to Bran and left.

......

Through the feedback of the magic network, Bran was able to avoid many dangers in advance, but now Bran's curiosity, adventurous spirit, or the deadly nature of the Northlanders were revived in his body.

On the way forward, Bran sensed a fox hundreds of meters away, which was not big or small, and was just as fat and thin. So this hapless little guy fell into the hands of Bran, and then made a great contribution to Bran's magical research, and gave his precious life for the cause of science......

After that, Bran came to the following inference:

The Mana Cluster is at a different latitude from its surroundings, and the Mana is the gateway that connects them. And the influence of star clusters on reality also needs to be done through magic. There are so many unreasonable things here that Bran decides not to think about these annoying questions anymore. What he observes now is only the tip of the puzzle, and as the puzzle becomes more and more complete, the answer will eventually be found. It's just that Bran doesn't have to think about it in his lifetime. But from the process of getting the puzzle, Bran felt the fun, and that was enough.

......

A few days later, Bran arrived at the nearest human settlement to the castle, the town of Sancha. Sancha Town is located on the traffic artery, which can enter the fertile grassland to the north, directly reach the western border of the Northland to the west, and reach the Beihai Sea to the east.

The fence composed of giant trees encloses a large area. When Bran walked into the stockade, he attracted some onlookers from the children. At this time, Bran no longer resisted the call, so the facial lines on his face began to expand, and two dagger-like blue lines went straight down from the frame of his eyebrows, but this blue line was still a little blurred.

The children who saw this scene naturally guessed Bran's purpose, but just looked at his small body, and compared with his own family, an aura of disbelief and indignation condensed in this group of children.

At this time, there is one more star cluster around Bran's body, which is the harvest of passing by an ant nest. Then he learned that the size of the cluster was not directly related to the creature itself, at least the newly harvested cluster of stars was the largest and the most dazzling. Now this strange image of Bran can be said to be unique in the Northland, so the adults in the stockade, although they do not come close to the onlookers like the children, are mostly curious.

An older kid stepped forward and extended an invitation to Bran for a challenge. Bran simply punched him with a stride and hit him in the diaphragm below his chest, and the kid crouched on the ground and began to draw circles.

From the moment he stepped out of the house and decided to answer the call, Bran began to feel a change in his body. A longing that accompanies the awakening and growth of strength. It's just that this awakening requires too much replenishment, so it is also accompanied by a huge hunger pang, and Bran finally understands the voice in the wasteland, "Come on, there is meat here." ”
