The next morning, Kenneth and Mick stood on the side of the path outside the town, and in front of them stood their respective families.

Luther City is about a hundred kilometers away from Tushan Town, and it is separated by the dangerous Kormit Forest, which is too dangerous to walk on foot, and it takes time to hire adventurer guards to take on the task. Fortunately, John Sr., the largest mine owner in town, was going to Lutheran City to trade in business, and happened to hear that the two boys in his town were going to study at the famous Lutheran School of Magic, so he happily offered to give the two of them a ride, which solved Kenneth and Mick's urgent needs.

The two men left their luggage on the last wagon of Old John's convoy and ran to their families to say goodbye.

Mick's father, Ed Hylut, was an elegant blonde gentleman with a beard on his lips, a neat and elegant tight-fitting gown, and a round cloak over his shoulders, which at first glance was a member of the upper echelons of society, and the Hylut family was indeed one of the few nobles in Tushan Town; The mother was wearing a tight black robe, her hair was coiled, and her blue eyes were full of tenderness and worry, although she was a little sickly, she was also a beautiful and elegant lady.

Kenneth's parents were a rural couple born and raised in Tushan Township, Kenneth's father, Kenneth Lancelot, was a tall, yellow-skinned man with typical southerners, and when he was young, he had come to the north as an adventurer to fight against monsters and even demons, and after losing half of his left arm, he became an ordinary farmer in this town, marrying and having children; Although Kenneth's mother was not pretty, with a scarf on her head and dressed as an ordinary peasant woman, she was diligent and thrifty, hard-working, and ran her own family of four with her husband; There is also Kenneth's younger brother Johnny, unlike Kenneth, seven-year-old Johnny looks very thin, reluctantly looking at his brother, holding Kenneth's hand and refusing to let go.

After the reluctance and exhortation of the two families, Ken led Kenneth to the Mick family, shook hands with Mick's father, Eddard, and said, "Mr. Hylut, I really don't know how to thank you. ”

Ed smiled and said in a calm voice: "Ken, don't care so much, Kenneth is Mick's best and only friend, it's just some tuition, don't be so careful." ”

Ken was speechless, the "some tuition" in Ed's mouth is only a hundred gold coins a year, and the total income of their family is only twenty or thirty silver coins a year, the Hylut family is really worthy of being noble!

Ed saw Ken's embarrassed face, he had also heard that Ken was also an iron-clad man when he was young, so he said, "I just paid for Kenneth this tuition, and he will pay it back to me when he graduates and becomes a magician." ”

Ken grinned when he heard this, rubbed Kenneth's head with his big hand and said, "Please rest assured, this kid will definitely study hard, but he will definitely pay back the money owed to you!" ”

Kenneth dodged his father's clutches and muttered, "Isn't it just a matter of a few gold coins...... but didn't dare to speak again after being glared at by his father.

Mick looked at the stupid Kenneth, then at Ken, and lowered his head in silence.

"Little cubs, it's time to go!" But it was the hotel owner, Old John, who greeted the two of them loudly.

Seeing this, Ed clapped his hand and said, "Alright, then it's time for our children to go on the road together, and may the hero Theo be with you." ”

Ken nodded, looked at Mick and said, "Mik, then this bastard boy in our family will ask you to take care of it, if he makes any mistakes, just beat him up!" ”

Mick bowed his head when he heard this and said, "How can this be done......"

"Alright," Kenneth said to the two families in front of him, pulling Mick along, "don't worry, we'll definitely study hard in the academy, and maybe one day you'll hear our names!" ”

"I—I'm going to study hard......"

"Don't talk nonsense, Mick, Uncle John is waiting impatiently. Dad, Mommy, Jonny, I'm leaving! Kenneth interrupted Mick's ramblings, picked him up and ran to the last carriage Old John had assigned them.

Mick was dragged away by Kenneth while waving to his parents with tears in his eyes, "Daddy, Mommy, goodbye!" Then he jumped into the back seat of the carriage with Kenneth and waved goodbye to his parents.

"Out~Hair~喽~" Old John's angry voice sounded, and the eight carriages slowly drove along the path into the distance, disappearing from the eyes of the two families.

Ken couldn't help but say: "This stinky boy, I don't know how to shed some tears, it's really ......" After speaking, he didn't hold back and wiped his tears with his backhand.

Ed walked over to Ken and nodded in acknowledgment, "Then, my wife and I will go first." "His face was as calm as ever.

Ken nodded, watched Ed and his wife board the carriage and leave, and said strangely: "This only son has no reaction when he leaves, is this also the style of the noble lord?" ”

And in the carriage, Ed thought about his son, and whispered: "Mick, prove yourself to those people, and regain the glory of our family......"

————————————

The carriage staggered forward, Kenneth leaned on the carriage, looked at Mick who was still wiping tears, and couldn't help but say, "Mick, don't cry, it's going to rain if you cry any longer." ”

There were only the two of them in the carriage where the two of them were sitting, but there were still a lot of goods, the most of which was the Huoyun Mine that was abundant in Tushan Town. The affinity between this fire cloud ore and the fire element is quite good, and it can assist magicians to meet the requirements of third-order affinity, so it is very popular with mages, and the price is about five silver coins per kilogram, which is generally sold in the Wizards' Association, and sometimes it can even be used directly as equivalent currency.

Mick was immersed in the separation from his family, but he was interrupted by Kenneth so coldly, and couldn't help asking, "Why am I crying, it has something to do with the rain?" ”

Seeing Mick's tears stop looking at him, Kenneth hurriedly used his brain and said, "You think, yes, you cry, ah, right, uh, the water element in the air will increase, hey, the water element in the air will increase, will it be easy to rain?" Right? ”

After saying this, even Kenneth himself began to admire that he could say such a reasonable thing.

And Mick burst into tears and laughed when he heard this: "You just talk nonsense." I read this in the book that Hephaestus gave me, and the formation of this rain is not as simple as you say. First of all, the content of the fire element on the ground needs to rise, and the wind element and water element in the air need to be squeezed out to make it rise into the air, and then the water element will gradually gather when it encounters the earth element with very little content in the air, and the wind element will be squeezed out, and only when the water element and the earth element reach a certain proportion and do not contain the wind element, it will become a raindrop falling. Therefore, in this raindrop, there is not only the water element, but also a very small amount of the earth element. Kenny, do you understand? ”

After Kenneth listened to Mick's long words, there was only a look of confusion left in his big eyes, but he instantly returned to normal, and gave Mick a thumbs up and said, "Although I can't understand it very well, Mick, you are so good!" ”

Mick raised his forehead when he heard this: "It seems that I have to make up for you......"

Kenneth grinned and said, "Isn't it okay to have you anyway?" ”

"That being said...... Mick replied to Kenneth's smile, "but Kenny, it's just the basics of a wizard'......"

Kenneth said with a nonchalant expression: "Anyway, when you get to the academy, you have to re-study, and it's not too late to talk about it then." ”

"But, Mick, do you have the black ring that Hephaestus gave you now?" Kenneth asked.

Hearing this, Mick looked down at the pitch-black ring on the ring finger of his left hand, shook his head helplessly, and said, "No, my spiritual power is not deep enough to penetrate deeper into the inner space, although some ordinary books can be taken out, but the magic array that can be seen at present is only the second-order magic array." This seems to be an obstacle deliberately set up for me by Hephaestus, probably because I am afraid that I will forcibly memorize the third-order magic array and cause a mental breakdown. ”

The space ring itself is actually an enchanted item, but it is different due to the material of the ring and the wind type space magic attached to it. For example, the pitch-black ring on Mick's finger, Mick once dared to ask the old blacksmith in the town, but even the old blacksmith with fifty years of forging experience could not identify the material of the ring itself, and the magic attached to it was definitely not known by Mick now, after all, he didn't even know the way of enchantment.

Kenneth adjusted his position to make himself more comfortable, stretched out his right hand to look at the Yanlong ring ring on his ring finger, and then looked at the pitch-black ring on Mick's hand with a little envy, and said, "Your ring can also store your luggage, which is really convenient." ”

Mick stroked the Ring of Darkness and exclaimed, "This is so amazing, is magic really omnipotent?" ”

Whenever Mick touches the Ring of Darkness with his mental power, a magic array will automatically trigger, but it will not appear in his mind, and then he can feel a vast space, as long as he touches the object in it with his mental power, he can take it out, and when he touches an object from the outside world, he can put it into it, which makes Kenneth and Mick amazed.

Kenneth listened to Mick's words but fell into an uncharacteristically silence, Mick looked at Kenneth suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Kenny?" ”

“…… Mick, if magic really is omnipotent," Kenneth said slowly, taking a bite of his favorite apple from his bosom, "so why didn't the hero of a thousand years ago defeat the Demon King with it?" ”

"They are far more powerful than us now, maybe even more powerful than us in the future, even they can't defeat the demon king, can we defeat it?"

Mick couldn't help but reach out and touch Kenneth's forehead and said, "Are you too hot?" How could such a deflating thing be uttered? ”

Kenneth bared his white teeth, slapped Mick's hand away and laughed, "What a stupid thing to say, have you forgotten that my body temperature is the same now?" Don't worry, I'm just kidding. ”

Kenneth stroked the Yanlong Ring, his eyes regained his previous confidence and courage, and the corners of his lips turned upward: "Look, we will become even stronger than the heroes of a thousand years ago, and complete the mission that they have not been able to do!" ”

Mick only felt that Kenneth in front of him was too dazzling to look at directly, and it seemed that as long as he saw Kenneth like this, he would become confident. Mick looked out at the blue sky outside the car, smiled lightly, and then slowly faded away.

Luther, I'm back!
