In the year 2431 of the imperial calendar, early spring.

Akatsuki Temple, inside the lecture hall.

The spacious church was packed with thousands of people, and there were even people standing in the aisles.

With black hair and black eyes, a somewhat thin figure, and dressed in shabby linen clothes, Fox sat in the corner, looking up at the front, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Nine thousand years ago, the great incarnation, the Akatsuki Lord Aras Zan'er ascended to the throne of the true god, ending the chaos and hegemony between the countries of the Stantu continent, and being revered as the co-lord by the nations, ending the dark ages that have lasted for more than 2,000 years. A middle-aged man in a wide white robe, standing at the podium in the temple's lecture hall, spoke impassionedly, and the audience was a group of young people who looked to be about twenty years old, most of them dressed in plain clothes, but their faces were full of excitement.

"Two thousand seven hundred years ago, the frontier tribes in the northwest of the Stantu continent rose rapidly, the barbarian king Jit unified the frontier, and became the second person in history to ascend the throne of the gods, and launched a challenge to the lord of the red moon, intending to overthrow his rule and dominate the continent, the two sides launched a fierce battle in the Comodo Mountains where the northwest border wilderness and the central region meet, known as the "Battle of the Two Gods", as a result, the lord of the red moon and the barbarian king were both defeated, and soon after the two sides stopped fighting, they both fell. ”

The middle-aged man in the robe paused slightly, and his expression became a little more serious: "Regarding this history, the records in the historical materials are very vague, some people say that the two strongest men fell because of their injuries, and some people say that the battle between the two is a conspiracy, and someone took the opportunity to plot against them, and this question is still inconclusive." ”

"Anas Zanger and the Barbarian King Jigu both inherited their power before their fall, Tunos, the Akatsuki Monarch, and Tobal, the Wolf King, obtained the inheritance of Aras Zaner and Jigu respectively, and with their strong strength, Tobal unified the western region to establish the Celestial Wolf Empire, and the Akatsuki Monarch Tunos unified the eastern regions except for the Nine Nations Alliance and established the Akatsuki Empire. You are all familiar with these histories. The middle-aged man in the robe coughed and continued:

"Due to historical reasons, our Red Moon Empire and the Sky Wolf Empire have been hostile for a long time, and there has been constant friction all year round, in order to defeat the hateful Sky Wolf Empire and unify the continent, we need more magic masters, in this continent, only by becoming a magic master can we become a human being! Not to mention the legendary true gods, even the lowest level of first-level magic masters can cause terrifying damage on the battlefield. Originally, as poor people, you had no chance to get the Primordial Magic Stone, awaken your magic energy, and become a glorious magic master, but ········" The middle-aged man paused slightly.

There was silence in the audience.

"Our great Emperor Tusno XI of the Akatsuki Empire has promulgated the latest policy, starting from this year, glorious citizens of the Empire between the ages of sixteen and eighteen will be provided with a Primordial Magic Energy Stone for free, giving them the opportunity to awaken in the Temple, including civilians!

It turned out to be true! The previous news was not a rumor! Kerry clenched his fists tightly, feeling his breathing a little rapid.

The middle-aged man raised his arms and shouted: "The red moon lasts forever! Long live Your Majesty!"

The eyes of a group of teenagers and girls in the audience instantly became fanatical: "The red moon lasts forever, long live Your Majesty!"

I must awaken my magical energy, become a magical master, and join the Red Moon Army!

Fox swore in his heart.

"The awakening will be arranged in three days, if you want to awaken, come to me to register!" the middle-aged man raised the register in his hand.

Everyone in the audience rushed up, scrambling to sign up, and the thin Fox squeezed for a long time before finally squeezing in and registering his name.

·············

The crowd gradually dispersed, and most of them gathered together in twos and threes, discussing excitedly.

As soon as Kerx walked out of the temple, someone came out next to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, Xx! Why did you just come out. "The man was about the same age as Kerks, with short dark brown hair, and a knee-length linen shirt, and a much more muscular figure than Kers. ”

"Werther, you're done?"

The boy on Packs is called Werther, and he is friends with Cheeks since he was a child, and both of them are from the same village.

"I'm the first to sign up, and those guys can't beat me. Witt smiled and said, "Nexus, if the awakening is successful, where are you going to go?"

"I'm going to join the Akatsuki Army, and in the army, I'll be able to get stronger faster!" said Kex without hesitation.

"How can the army be so easy to mix, now we are so nervous with the Sky Wolf Empire, there have been rumors that the two countries are going to break out in a full-scale war, but there is only one life, if I can awaken, I will join the temple. ”

"In any case, you have to awaken first, and the proportion of awakening is very low. ”

"yes. Thinking of the proportions of awakening, Witt couldn't help but sigh.

············

The small village where the Fox family is located is located in a small village thirty kilometers away from the temple, under the jurisdiction of the town of Litan.

The town of Tanli is a backward town in the remote part of the empire, and the town is surrounded by hundreds of miles, and only the town has a temple.

There are four members of the family, mother, twenty-year-old brother Darth, and twelve-year-old sister Hill, father Old Fox died of illness a few years ago, the family's income mainly comes from the crops in the field and the elder brother Darth takes some odd jobs in the spare time, the family situation is not well-off, and it can only be regarded as a middle and lower class among the commoners.

It turns out that according to the laws of the empire, only children of aristocratic families can obtain the Primordial Magic Power Stone and have the qualification to awaken.

The development and use of the Primordial Magic Stone is strictly controlled by the Empire, and no amount of money can buy it. Moreover, awakening also requires the cooperation of a special magic circle, and the inscription method of the magic circle is also mastered by the empire.

Awakened through illegal means, unregistered magicians will be wanted by the Empire if they are discovered.

However, in recent centuries, the middle class and above civilians have been allowed to pay a certain amount of money to obtain the Primordial Magic Stone for Awakening, and recently there have been rumors that the Empire intends to give all Imperial citizens the Awakening qualification for free, and today, this news has been confirmed.

Fox and Werther had been on the road for hours, the sky was getting dark, the sun was setting for the last of its rays, the buildings around were beginning to become less and less the wilderness and meadows were beginning to appear, and the outline of a small village was beginning to appear.

Kers and Witt quickened their pace and stepped into the village.

"Eh, Kox is back, is it true that His Majesty the Emperor intends to allow the poor to awaken the magic energy for free?"

A middle-aged woman dressed plainly with a basket on her left arm asked.

"Yes, Aunt Davile, the priest of the temple personally announced the news. Fox stopped and greeted him politely.

"Oh, the gods are above, how merciful His Majesty the Emperor is! ”

Davile looked up in admiration, and then began to encourage Kerkes.

"I'm going to do my best. Nexus replied

Witt next to him finally couldn't help it: "Mom, your own son is here!"

Davile rolled her eyes, "I'm not blind, if only the well-behaved Kerr were my son." ”

Werther was so sad and indignant, is he still his own!) Witt couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, and then he was punched hard in the back by Werther.

Saying goodbye to Witt and Daviel, Fox walked to his home, a dilapidated house on the south side of the village, and into the yard, Fox shouted, 'I'm back!'

Ral, who was picking vegetables in the yard and preparing dinner, raised his head when he heard the sound, Ral's expression was kind, and then he asked with some expectation, "Are you back?"

"The previous news is true, and the awakening ceremony will be held in the temple three days later. Nexus took a deep breath and said slowly.

A hint of anticipation flashed on Ral's face, but then his face became a little hesitant: "Lux, don't have too much pressure, it's okay if you can't wake up." After all, we civilians didn't even have the qualifications to awaken before. ”

She knew that Fox had been eager to become a magician since she was a child, to see the wider world, and she also saw the excitement and excitement of Fox when she heard that the Empire would allow civilians to awaken.

"Well, I know. ”

Fox then asked, "Is my brother back?"

"No, next door Thor has found a job for your brother in the town, and the pay is quite good, and it will be a few days before he returns. ”

"Second brother, you're back!" Twelve-year-old Hill heard the voice and ran out of the house, affectionately threw himself into the arms of Kedi, Hill was delicate, fair-skinned, and already had the potential to be a beautiful embryo, although he was not very old, but he was not short.

Fox petted his sister's hair, "Let's go, go in first." “
