The year 993 of the Arad calendar.

The Dros Empire, located east of the continent of Arad. Its capital, Vetaron, was located close to the Inland Sea and was the political and economic center of the empire.

The city of Vetaron was centered on the Imperial Palace, which expanded outward in a radial shape. The sound of horses' hooves and the wide streets in the city are all built of bluestone; The houses are lined up one after another. There is a bell tower in the city, and there is a garden pool; The bell tower is towering and ringing; Garden pool, crowd rest. The city has a different British flair at every turn.

The main streets of the city of Gathalon are bustling with people, merchants and hawkers; There was also a horse-drawn carriage running by, kicking up a wisp of smoke. There were always some dark alleys on the side of the main street, and in the middle of that alley, beside the stinking ditch, lay a young man in tattered clothes.

This young man was about fourteen years old, and he was born white, but his appearance at this time was very miserable. The young man woke up slowly, raised his eyes and looked around in confusion. If you look closely, this young man is Ari.

Ari felt dizzy and staggered to his feet, but fell helplessly by the wall. He shook his head and sat down against the wall. The back of his head was dizzy, and Ari stared at it for a long time in a daze, and it took a long time to see what was in front of him.

The young man lowered his head again, only to see that his clothes were torn, but the wound on his chest was gone, as if it had disappeared out of thin air. He gasped and muttered, "Where is this!" ”

"How does Lao Tzu know?" A voice rang out in the boy's head.

"You ......" Ari was still a little confused, and finally thought of something after thinking for a long time, "Facila, you're still there!" ”

The Demon Sword Facira sneered: "You are not dead, how can I die?" ”

Ari slowly felt that his body had regained some strength, but his whole body was swollen, and his body seemed to burst. The boy couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"We have absorbed the magic of that egg, which you call the 'apostle's egg'. Even a little bit of magic is too big for you, so you feel like your body is swollen. The magic sword Facira explained.

Ari staggered to his feet, raised his legs and slowly walked out of the alley.

"Where are you going, you should have absorbed the magic in your body by now. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold on to the explosion after a while, and everyone will have to die. Facilla shouted.

"Now it's more important to figure out where. Otherwise, I don't know how I died. ”

After Ari finished speaking, he leaned against the wall and walked down the street step by step. I saw that the streets were full of people, and people dressed in a bit of British style came and went. The boy looked at these people in strange clothes, which was completely different from the Demon Realm, but it seemed that this place was better-looking. The young man turned his head to look at the shops on the side of the street, thought about it, and couldn't help muttering, "This is not the Demon Realm?" ”

"It's the Demon Realm that's weird!" The magic sword Facilla laughed.

"You know?"

"I don't know!" Facella's voice was much lower in her head.

"Then you're talking about a ghost!"

"It's just a guess!"

"Tell me?"

The Demon Sword Facilla had no choice but to explain: "That crack may be a 'Dimensional Rift', or it may be a 'Time and Space Rift', anyway, no matter what it is, you can't be in the Demon Realm." ”

"Why? Is there any difference between the two? ”

"Extradimensional rifts, as the name suggests, this spatial rift will take you to another world. And the space-time rift, which is even worse, will take you to a certain world in the past, or a certain world in the future. ”

Ari nodded, pondered for a while, and asked in his heart, "I found a problem!" ”

"What's the problem?"

"Why are you so good at talking?"

"Your uncle, I'm a madman when I found out about you. I'd rather die than let Lao Tzu swallow it, and I'd rather die than pull Lao Tzu's back. Fortunately, I didn't die this time, Lao Tzu is really scared, I don't talk well, I don't think about your life, I'm afraid that you won't be able to think about it one day......" The magic sword Fa Qila babbled and said endlessly.

Ari slowly moved down the street, looking up at the sky. I saw the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, the sun was shining, and I vaguely seemed to see traces of the magic array in the sky. The young man muttered again: "This day, it's a little strange! ”

"Yes! There were traces of a magic array in the sky. But it's not like it. Magic Sword Fachela said.

Ari was startled, thinking of the key to the magic sword's words, and shouted in his heart, "Can you see outside? ”

The magic sword suddenly stopped talking, no matter how Ah Rui asked, he didn't speak. Thinking of the importance of this matter, Ari couldn't help but exclaim, "If you don't speak, I'll kill myself!" Then he walked to the galloping carriage on the road.

The magic sword was afraid that he would really die regardless of his life, and shouted in the young man's mind: "Don't, don't, don't, I say!" ”

The carriage braked suddenly, the young man rolled to the side, and the middle-aged man who drove the carriage scolded: "Stinky beggar, look for death!" Get out of here. ”

Ari got up tremblingly, ignored the middle-aged man's scolding, and slowly crawled to the side of the road. The middle-aged man let out a bad breath and drove away in the carriage.

The young man said in his heart, "You say! ”

The magic sword had no choice but to whisper: "The reason for the soul contract, I can see the outside world through your eyes!" ”

Ari nodded in agreement, but thought about how to block the sight of the magic sword. But the magic sword will definitely not say, and it will be boring to force each other to death, this trick is used too much, and the magic sword will also find clues, so I have to plot slowly.

The sun is a little mild, and the sun is warm on the body, so uncomfortable. But the young man was hungry and his body was swollen and painful, and he looked at the crowded streets in front of him and thought about countermeasures.

"What are you thinking?" Magic Sword Facilla asked.

"Looks like you can't peek into my mind!" Ari said in his heart, "That's fine! Hey, I'm wondering, how can I get something to eat, I'm so hungry. ”

"The most important thing for you now is to absorb the magic power in your body, otherwise you will be swelled to death!"

"Heh, I'm afraid I'll starve to death first."

"Then what are you doing, are you robbing? In your state, children may not be able to beat it. ”

"yes, what should I do?" Ari was penniless, and sighed in his heart, "I'm starving, but it's funny." ”

"How do I know, but I still recommend that you absorb the magic in your body first!"

"Hey, do you think the middle-aged man driving a strange animal just now is very strange?" Ari thought about it.

"What's weird?"

"If you were in the Demon Realm, others would have pressed you a long time ago, so who cares if you live or die."

"Hearing you say that, it's true!"

Ah Rui analyzed: "Your magic sword is a little stupid, hehe." I guess, there is a price to be paid for killing people in this place, whatever the price, but certainly not low. The people here are also kind, unlike the Demon Realm, where they kill casually and no one cares! ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I think it's okay......," Ari muttered, "and if you guess correctly, you'll have money to buy food." ”

"What a talent you kid! I'll just say you're treacherous, and that's true. But ......"

"It's nothing, it's not fun to starve to death."

I saw the young man staggering, and saw a galloping carriage rushing towards him. The businessman driving the car exclaimed, it was too late to brake, and the boy was knocked out in an instant. The brilliance of the young man's body dissipated, and he blocked the impact of the carriage with difficulty. However, the boy was too weak to suffer some internal injuries.

When the merchant driving the car saw that he had hit someone, even if he looked at him as a beggar, he was sweating profusely. Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, they were worried about attracting the guards in the city. If someone is caught and killed by the guards, a large amount of compensation will have to be paid, even if the compensation may fall into the hands of the guards.

The merchant got out of the carriage at a hurry, ran a few steps to check in front of him, and when he saw that the young man was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Little beggar, are you, are you okay?" ”

Ari rolled on the ground in pain, pretending to be very realistic. He looked at the merchant and opened his mouth to shout, "Ouch, ouch, I'm hurt, I'm hurt." You, you hit me, I, I, I'm going to sue you! He didn't know what to call people like the leader in this place, so he had to use the name of the demon world.

But the merchant was taken aback, and wondered if this beggar boy was the eyeliner of the guards? also looked at the young man's appearance very miserable, and said that he really broke him, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Ari saw the timing and exclaimed bitterly: "Ouch, ouch, I don't want to trouble adults, but you hit me, I was injured, this is ......"

Seeing that things were still improving, the merchant immediately took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Ah Rui's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, look, are these enough to treat your injuries?" ”

Ari pretended to sigh, put the gold coin back in his pocket, and sighed, "Hey, who told me to be good-hearted!" I don't want to get you in trouble either, do you? ”

"Yes, yes," the merchant nodded.

"Help me up." Ari pretended to be helped up by the merchant, but saw that the onlookers were already three layers inside and out.

The merchant also saw that there were too many onlookers, and he was afraid that the guards would settle accounts when the time came, so he whispered in Ari's ear: "Little brother, look ......."

Ah Rui instantly knew what the merchant wanted to express, and walked out of the crowd tremblingly, shouting as he walked: "Uncle, I'm fine, it's okay." No need to send it, no need to send it, remember to run slower in the future. ”

The crowd saw that the beggar boy was fine, and there was no excitement to see, and they dispersed one after another. The merchant breathed a sigh of relief at this time and hurriedly drove away in the carriage.

Ari left this street and went to another. The magic sword laughed in his head: "Hahaha, good heart, hahaha, laugh at me, laugh at me." Poor that fat man actually believed it. ”

Ari bought some water and croissants on the street, squatted on the side of the road and stuffed them into his mouth.

I only heard the magic sword say again: "I said, you kid is really powerful, where did you come up with so many things?" ”

After stuffing the bread, Arry took a few sips of water, and said with a smile in his heart, "You'll know after you've been at the table for a while." I've been playing at the tables at Royal Entertainment since I was eight years old, and I've seen a lot of all kinds of people. If you want to win, you have to keep using your brain, you have to keep observing, otherwise you will even lose your life. ”

"Playing at the tables at Royal Entertainment at the age of eight? You're not ......" The magic sword Facira seized the loophole in the boy's words.

Ari smiled, but didn't answer.

"You're not at ease." Magic Sword said.

"You're not at ease, are you?"

As night fell, Ari finally finished absorbing the wanton magic in his body in the corner of the alley. Looking up at the sky, there is only the moon in the sky, and there are no stars twinkling; And above that sky, in the dark night, the lines of the magic array in the sky were much clearer.

Ah Rui looked up to the sky and pondered, and muttered, "What kind of world is this?" How can it be so weird? ”

The magic sword was speechless, "How does Lao Tzu know?" ”

"Eh, you say, that crack is because of the black beads. Is that old woman with a red nose trying to hurt me? ”

"I don't want to hurt you, right? Maybe they're trying to suck your opponent in. ”

"That's right! If I had known this, I might as well throw the beads in front of the blonde man. ”

"What are you thinking, it's useless!" The magic sword laughed.

Ah Rui looked at the sky in the dark night and thought for a long time, and the moonlight shone on the young man's face, looking very lonely. The young man thought about it and said, "Now we have to figure out where this is, and see if we can go back!" ”

"How?"

"There must be a map in this world! Even if you don't have a map, there must be something like that! I'll see if I can buy it tomorrow, and I'm analyzing it. ”

Ari patted the dust and got up, and continued, "Now you have to prepare for tomorrow!" ”

"Ready? What preparation? The magic sword wondered.

"Do you think that I am now like a beggar, saying serious things, and others can believe me?"

"Doesn't that fat man believe it?"

"That's different." Ari explained, "It can't be too good to wash your body first and get some clothes. After I bought the map, I said that I was a person who fled from a war-torn area, and I don't believe that there is no war in this world! Go buy a sword again for self-defense! ”

"And after that?"

"I'll see you later!"

The boy took advantage of the night to sneak into the store selling clothes, chose his usual clothes to steal, and then went to the pool on the street to wash his body. When he washed and got dressed, he saw a small group of guards patrolling. The boy didn't dare to hold it up, so he found a remote alley to hide.

As soon as Ari entered the alley, he saw three drunken men in white hats staggering towards him. Ari didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned sideways and got out of the way. But the three drunks seemed to see that Ah Rui was a half-grown boy, and when they saw that they were bullying, they stopped Ah Rui and asked, "Hiccup, boy, it's so late, why don't you go home?" ”

The smell of wine was in the nostrils, mixed with a foul smell. Ari endured his nausea and whispered, "I'm going home!" ”

The three drunks were sturdy and tall, and one of them looked down at Ari and laughed, "Little ghost, who are you fooling?" Is this red light street your home? He laughed with his two companions.

Ari didn't understand what 'Red Light Street' meant, but it didn't sound like a good thing. He didn't answer immediately, pushed away the three drunks and was about to leave.

The drunken man cried out again, "I like you little devil with fine skin and tender flesh, and you are very comfortable." A gold coin to accompany my brother for one night. ”

Ari instantly understood what was going on, but he didn't want to cause more trouble, he just wanted to leave quickly. The three drunkards saw that the young man was not interested, so they wanted to use force. The three of them rushed in a triangle, and Ari could hear the footsteps behind him, and he didn't look back, but raised his legs and ran.

I didn't want a drunk to be faster, and in the blink of an eye, I blocked Ari's way; The other two drunks also rushed close and surrounded Ari.

Ari couldn't understand why people in this world were like this, he had seen women on the street during the day, was it a problem in this world? Or is it a problem with these three drunks? The boy shook his head, still unable to figure it out.

The drunk ghost in front saw Ah Rui shaking his head, and said that Ah Rui was so frightened that he had already succumbed, and couldn't help but smile: "Little ghost, this is interesting." Don't worry, we'll take care of you! The drunks laughed loudly, and the laughter was rampant.

Ari felt a chill, even with the magic sword, he felt sick. I only heard the magic sword say in the young man's mind: "Kill them, damn it, it's disgusting." ”

Ari responded, "I don't have a sword!" How to fight? ”

"You won't be able to do anything else? Neither will magic? ”

"No!" Ari Sincere.

"Either you let me swallow it, or ...... Run! "The magic sword proposed.

Ah Rui was anxious to think of a countermeasure, and shouted, "Get out of the way, or I'll scream!" ”

"Scream, scream! The Guards won't care about this! Hahaha......" The three drunks laughed.

Ari had no choice, and lifted his body and punched the drunken man in front of him in the face. The drunkard didn't expect the young man to dare to fight back, and he was stunned and was beaten to the point that his nose bleeded. The two drunks behind him attacked in unison, and the two of them instantly held Ari's arms. Ari couldn't break free, and the drunken man in front of him pounced with a cruel smile, and the boy had to fly up and kick the drunk out.

"Boy, it's not a way to go on like this......"

"Shut up, I know."

The drunks on the ground got up again, and the two drunks behind them put the boy against the wall. Ah Rui panicked, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, "Can you still use the method of detonating the lightsaber?" ”

"Yes!"

Ari's right hand was clenched, imagining that his arm was a lightsaber, and the magic built a link, and a dark purple blade of light appeared in the boy's right hand. Ah Rui hurriedly shouted: "Burst, burst!" ”

The blade of light burst like thunder, and the flickering black thunder shook the three drunks out in an instant.

The Demon Sword Fachela was surprised: "You have this strength, why didn't you use it before?" ”

"One is that I really didn't expect it, and the other is that there is no lightsaber, and the duration of this light blade is very short." Ari honestly said, "Come again, kill them!" ”

The magic in the young man's hand once again built the link, and the black thunder in his hand shone non-stop. The more Ari used it, the more comfortable it became, and the black thunder flickered, and the three drunks had been electrocuted into charcoal.

The boy was sweating profusely and ran through the alley without looking back, leaving only three charred corpses on the ground.

Ari went back to the alley where he woke up during the day, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath. The magic sword sneered at this time: "What? Kill someone, so scared? ”

The young man looked at his palm and smiled, "It's not that I'm afraid. The world seems to have a guard in their words. We don't know how strong the Guards are, but we'd better be careful. ”

"Hey, boy, how did you come up with this trick?"

"Hey, it's just inspiration." The boy suddenly remembered the black-robed man in Central Park, and a somewhat crazy thought flashed through his mind.

"After my light blade is condensed, you only detonate part of it, and I will throw it out. Can it be done? The boy asked.

The magic sword seemed to think for a moment, and replied, "You can try it." ”
