Redwood Town.

"Xiao Mu, hurry up, today is the bi-weekly procurement of the city defense army, go and help your father!" a woman's voice sounded outside.

With a loud noise. The door was kicked open, "Little rabbit cub, still sleeping, get up for Lao Tzu!" shouted with his big hand that had been rough and grabbed Shen Mu's ear.

"Oops, oops. Dad, let go, I really didn't hear it just now, isn't it ready to get up. Shen Mu was carried out of bed and shouted incessantly.

"Hurry up, after eating, go downstairs to sort out the goods in the shop, the city defense army will arrive in half an hour. Your mother has been calling you to eat for a long time. ”

"Okay Daddy. Today, I promise not to hold you back, and I will leave it to me to sort out the list of goods. But can you not pull my ears next time? I'm almost fourteen. It's a shame to be known. ”

"Again verbose, believe it or not, I'll take you off directly?" The rough man pretended to do it again, so frightened that Shen Mu put on his clothes and ran out of the door.

"Xiaomu, what's the matter with you lately? You never liked to sleep in the past. "Shen Mu's mother is a gentle woman who looks at her child dotingly. "You blame your dad for having a big temper these days. Recently, the demon beasts in Beiguan City are not very peaceful, and the materials of the city defense army are in short supply. Although we relied on your grandfather's connections to get an errand to help with the turnover of materials, the conditions have been good in recent years. But if this errand is messed up, it will be a big deal. ”

"Mother, it's all my fault, I made my father lose his temper early in the morning. I went to bed early last night, but I woke up in the morning. I didn't mean to. By the way, you always mention grandpa, when will grandpa come back? I haven't seen grandpa yet. Shen Mu was a little aggrieved, but he was a little curious when he heard his grandfather.

"It's okay, Xiaomu. Hurry up and eat breakfast, go down and help after eating, your grandfather is a big official, he has to deal with a lot of things, and when Xiaomu grows up, he will go home. Xiao Wang has returned to the village in the past few days, otherwise he would not be so busy. You're willing to help your father share some of the work, I guess he's happy in his heart. Shen Mu's mother, Chen Wan, said while handing over breakfast and chopsticks.

Shen Mu ate breakfast, thinking about last night's events. I went to bed earlier than a few days ago last night, so why can't I get up in the morning? Is it really related to that dream? Ever since I had that dream, I have been honestly groggy and can't keep up my spirits. Usually 8 hours of sleep is enough, but now I can't wake up after 12 hours of sleep. In that dream, it was as if he had really experienced it, it was in another world, he also had a family, after obtaining the magic power, he became a spirit being, from the academy to the experience, all kinds of people and sophistication, coincidences, all kinds of enemies raised their hands and disappeared. He thought he would go all the way to the top, but a sudden hunting mission made him lose everything, including his life, and during that mission, he felt that he knew a big secret, which was important enough to involve the Trial, but he couldn't remember it. In the haze, a voice kept guiding him to know more things. By the time I woke up again, it was already morning, and as usual, I couldn't remember anything. The voice disappeared. Recently, Shenmu has felt that his body has become a little weak, not only sleepy, but also can always hear some sounds.

Shaking his head, Shen Mu didn't think much about it anymore and walked downstairs quickly.

"Xiaomu, I'm done eating. Shen Mu's father was carrying a large bag of things in one hand, and pointed to the account book on the counter with the other: "I have already asked your Uncle Li to order it before, but the matter of the goods cannot be wrong." You order it again, and then go to the back and call me, the city defense army is coming soon, let's clear the place and let them load the goods as soon as possible. ”

Shen Mu watched his father Shen Zicheng's back disappear at the back door, and secretly thought in his heart that his father was really worthy of being a martial artist, and it was not at all difficult to carry such a big bag of things with one hand, it was a packed bundle of mahogany arrows, not to mention more than a hundred catties. I have half a year to become an adult, and I can go to participate in the awakening. It would be nice if you could awaken your magic or fighting spirit, and then you will become a generation of chivalrous warriors in the Cangbei Forest to fight in and out to ensure the safety of one party, and be admired by thousands of people. My father doesn't have to run around all day long to make a living.

After thinking about it and smirking twice, he began to count the supplies diligently.

The City Defense Force came to Redwood once every two weeks to mobilize supplies. Redwood Town is rich in rosewood, a very tough wood that is considered a good material for arrows. Hunting monsters to defend the city is indispensable. Although as long as a martial artist with fighting spirit can easily deal with a low-level demon beast with the blessing of fighting spirit, a spirit can use magic to summon elemental magic and easily kill several low-level demon beasts, but how rare a martial artist is, let alone a spirit who is not one in a thousand miles. Therefore, as a city defense army that is mostly ordinary people, it still has to rely on bows and arrows to fight the monsters remotely, while a few warriors resist the impact of the monsters in front.

There are still many shops in Redwood Town like Shen Zicheng that circulate materials. But there are more than any other trading shops. Due to its proximity to Cangbei City, the economy of Redwood Town is also quite developed, and most of the shops on the street sell some potions, armor, and weapons. Of course, most of these shops also take into account the recycling of monster skins and other materials.

Recently, the demons outside Cangbei City have been particularly unpeaceful, and some timid wild boars usually dare to haunt around the city wall, which of course cheapens those mercenary groups. Some small vendors huddled in groups of small mercenaries to escort them. Redwood Town, which is usually bustling on weekdays, is particularly lively.

Shen Mu was also sleepy and tired. As soon as the material team of the city defense army left in the morning, he said hello to Uncle Li and went upstairs to sleep. He wasn't like that before. The energy does not decrease from morning to midnight.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Shen Mu will go to the church outside the town tomorrow to participate in the awakening ceremony. At dinner that day, Shen Zicheng, who was smug on weekdays, also changed his attitude from the past, "Xiaomu, tomorrow is the awakening ceremony, and there is no skill, talent is all in the bones." It's up to you what you can awaken. Our family is also a vindictive bloodline, and the ancestors are great characters. Although your father and I are a waste, and we can only cultivate to a low-level martial artist and stagnate, I believe that you and my son are not waste. ”

"Dad, can't I awaken a spirit or something? Shen Mu said while eating.

"Little bunny, you'd better not fail to awaken me. Otherwise, I'll come back and kill you!" Shen Zicheng said angrily, and then his tone eased, and said, "Hey, the spirit is a thousand miles away, Dad has thought about it." Even if you fail to awaken. After two years of mixing with me, I went to your grandfather's place at the age of 16, and it was easy to be a team leader, and that's all I had in my life. My son can't take my shift, can he? Shen Zicheng intentionally or unintentionally pushed him to be a soldier, wanting to inspire Shen Mu.

"Zicheng, now the demon beasts are becoming more and more uncalm, and I don't feel at ease to let Xiaomu go to the army. Chen Wan looked at Shen Mu with a worried expression.

"What's not to worry about. My dad doesn't have any tasks on his side, it's just a team leader who is guarded, and the southern monsters are relatively calm. Otherwise, how could I have made this decision with confidence. ”

"Mother, I'm only fourteen years old now, don't worry about what will happen in two years, besides, I have a hunch that I won't fail this awakening. Shen Mu clenched his hands into fists with a firm expression. What are you kidding, he wants to become a man admired by everyone, how can he awaken and fail.

"Rest well tonight, and I'll take you to church early tomorrow morning. Shen Zicheng looked at Shen Mu's demeanor, and he didn't know what to think in his heart.

Shen Mu went back to his room to sleep directly after eating, in fact, he didn't know where he got his confidence, although it was his dream to become a generation of chivalrous, but this was not the source of his confidence. The source of his self-confidence, it seems... That voice in the dream?
