According to records, the continent called Tevak was not originally called that.

The continent's original name was Hilfa, and there were many political and commercial controversies because of the same name as the empire. As a result, several major countries, such as the Western Multinational Commonwealth, which consists of more than 20 small states, the Hilfa Empire in the heart of the continent, and the ancient Eastern Old Kingdom, reached an agreement many years ago to unify the continent and rename it as Tihuak.

"Tiwak" is a transliteration of an ancient language that originally meant "lasting peace". It is precisely because this language is no longer widely spoken by any race and is generally recognized as a "dying language" that it is used to name continents. Only in this way can we ensure that no country or nation will have any objections.

If it were to be named after the human language with the largest population base, the newly rising subhuman races in the Western Multinational Federation (Federal) would be the first to oppose it, not to mention the inhuman races that had existed since ancient times in the Eastern Old Kingdom.

When the countries on the continent of Tivak began to enter winter one after another, Teacher Rekin from Lakeheart Town officially began to teach spiritual thinking courses to the young master of the Lord of Wales' family, Matthew. The people of Huxin Town have gradually become accustomed to having a beautiful blonde man with blue eyes, taking Master Matthew through Huxin Town, and sometimes seeing this pair of teachers and students in the surrounding villages, forests, and waterfalls.

"I wonder what Mr. Regin's training is like?" said the little boy named Aaron, dangling his legs by the lake, looking at the lake in distraction.

"It's not the kind we can learn anyway—formal training!" the companion yawned boredly.

"Hey, why don't we go...... Take a peek?" Aaron encouraged, "Maybe we'll be able to manifest the fire spirit when we come back!"

"Wow, I don't want to! If I find out, I won't be beaten to death by my dad. ”

"Don't get caught, coward. Aaron defiantly added "coward".

"Whoever is a coward, I'm not afraid of that Reggin and Matthew!"

"Afraid of your dad? Anyway, you're scared, forget it, I'll go with Ellon. Aaron said lightly.

"Elrond? If he learns to manifest the spirit of fire, he won't have to laugh at me every day! Okay, okay, I'll go with you. I heard that Reggin and the others went to the Gollum Swamp today, and my dad greeted their groom in the morning. ”

"Let's go, race, and see who gets there first!" the two little kids ran in the direction of the Gollum Swamp.

Gollum Swamp is a swamp not far south of Huxin Town, and like all swamps, it is damp and overgrown with sick swamp shrubs and vines, making the already damp environment even more gloomy and evil. The soil here is moist and sticky, and in Regin's eyes, it is suitable for Matthew's spiritual training.

"Matthew," Reggin jumped out of the carriage, looked around, and turned to Matthew, "You passed the psionic test last time. It turns out that your psychic power is better suited to the ability to shape the morphological type, specifically the morphological change. ”

A week ago, Reggin conducted a psionic test to test Matthew's psychic adaptability.

The so-called psionic test is to let the test subject concentrate on a bowl of water after learning the basic theoretical knowledge of psychic, and then judge the tester's adaptability according to the change in the shape of the water in the bowl.

Psionic tests must be performed at an early stage of psychic learning. It is only during this period that they have not yet mastered the use of their psychic powers, so when tested through a small bowl of clear, colorless water, they will naturally show the direction and spiritual preferences they are best at.

Matthew was facing the bowl of water, focusing as much as he could in the way Rekin had said, letting his thoughts wander without being alienated from the water in the bowl in front of him. After a few moments, the results were revealed - the water in the center of the bowl condensed into a sphere, detached from the surrounding water, and even squeezed the water out of the center, slowly spilling over the edge of the bowl and onto the table.

This performance proves that Matthew is very suitable for the psychic skill of morphological change, which is different from pure embodiment that relies solely on psychic power, where he needs to rely on a medium to reshape form. But as with the so-called pure embodiment, it takes a considerable amount of time, and the speed depends on the complexity of the content and his familiarity.

Matthew finished the test and was a little disappointed after listening to Rekin's explanation, always feeling that he didn't seem to be good enough to rely on the medium to use his psychics. Regin's answer to him was that there were only two kinds of people who could truly create something out of nothing and materialize without relying on any medium: one was the extinct ancient man, and the other was the legendary summoner, either of which he had never seen in his life.

Matthew reluctantly asked Regin, what kind of expression does the water in the bowl make to be considered pure materialization?

Regin's thought for a moment: "Pure embodiment does not need to be tested with a water bowl. ”

Then, I don't know if it was to comfort Matthew, he said again: "Your shaping psychic power is very suitable for becoming a magic blacksmith." This is a very rare and very popular profession in the mainland!"

Now, Regin's take Matthew to the Gollum Swamp offers a new level of difficulty for Matthew's exclusive training. The density and quality of water is far inferior to that of damp swamp silt, and it is much easier to use than to use it with psychic power. Now that you know Matthew's adaptability, it's natural to increase the difficulty - how can you always play in the water?

"Matthew, you can find a random place to start here. Reggin sat back on the side of the carriage and pulled out a book, ready to pass the time.

"Beginning?" Matthew didn't understand at all, "Beginning...... What?"

"Let's start training! just look for mud in the mud, just like when you use water to do a psionic test, to see if you can manifest something. ”

After Regin's answer, he put the book in front of him, as if he didn't bother to explain more.

"Yes, Mr. Regin. Matthew didn't care about the teacher's attitude, but still answered respectfully.

It has been more than a month since the start of the psychic course, and in Matthew's eyes, although Lei Jin is a person who talks exaggeratedly, he still has real learning. He was not of aristocratic origin, and his character and behavior naturally had the indulgence of a poor man, and he did not need to be too harsh. As long as he treats him the same way his grandfather treats him.

Matthew walked to the side and leaned over to check the dirt on the ground. He didn't know if he could shape as smoothly as he did with water. So he chose a pit with a little water accumulation, where the soil was wetter and softer, and presumably easier.

Matthew straightened up, his eyes fixed on the surface of the wet mud, and he was engrossed in his mental power. About twenty minutes passed, and Matthew's forehead was already oozing with sweat, and his thoughts were getting more and more agitated, but the mud was still mud, lying quietly in front of him.

"Huh...... ......He finally stopped, gasped, wiped the sweat from his head, and turned to look at Regin.

Reggin seemed to be completely oblivious to his situation, and threw himself into the books.

"Teacher Lei Jin...... "Matthew originally wanted to ask Lei Jin for some guidance, but seeing his attentive appearance, he felt that it was not good to disturb. After all, I've only been working hard for twenty minutes just now, so it seems that I'm too useless to ask for help from the teacher.

Thinking of this, Matthew gritted his teeth and turned around to continue tossing the pile of mud alone.

This time I don't know how long it has been, but Matthew only feels that his spirit is extremely tired, and his standing body is also shaky, as if he is about to sink into the soft mud of the swamp under his feet. Although his eyes could still clearly see the mud in front of him, the sounds around him seemed to gradually start to fade away, and Regin, swamp frogs, insects, and other living creatures around him disappeared one by one, until only he was left.

Am I alone again? After my father and mother left me, I never came back. Joey, as they grew more respectful of me, began to distance themselves from me, and were more willing to be close to me when they were younger...... I was a nobleman who had long since declined, but my grandfather wanted me to study in the way of an aristocracy, and no one in the school wanted to be with me. By the way, father and mother, your dog "Snow Mountain" also died of illness not long after. Ah, "Snow Mountain", I miss you so much, and I want to take a nap with you like I did when I was a child......

Matthew's spirit had begun to slip, but he didn't stop training.

There was a soft "pop", and the mud in front of Matthew suddenly bubbled.

What followed was the continuous uplift of the pile of silt, as if something was growing underneath.
