【Western Continent Crescent Kingdom Huiyue Imperial Capital】

The rain came leisurely in the imperial capital one morning, weak as a delicate woman, powerlessly beating the green bricks of the castle, the glazed tiles stood proudly on the top of the tower, a carved black toad in the northeast corner of the tower looked at the sky that glowed red, and a burst of singing came from the tower, like a song to the creator, mixed with holy tones and pious words. The rain in July in the imperial capital is not as vast as in the north, it is always sickly, a little weak and windy, it always comes in a hurry, and leaves in a hurry, and when the sun comes out, nothing is left.

The streets of the imperial capital are smooth and clean, with marble floors and solid plutonic rock forming the main body of the streets, such ground carriages are very smooth to walk, and the rigorous pursuit of things by the Noahs has created an almost perfect imperial capital. Along the rain-washed chants, there is a chapel, where the quiet wind blows into the chapel and reveals everything inside, with its grey cement floors, amber and purple velvet curtains, and staircase seating.

The most important thing is the statue of the creator god in white marble facing the door of the chapel, his face is expressionless, but it seems to shine with divine light, he is dressed in a loose white robe, free and carefree. Before him, a young girl prayed silently, and her mouth kept reciting beautiful words, which were mixed in with the wind and fluttered.

"Narissa, you are really a faithful believer," the discordant voice appeared in the girl's ears, she ignored the sudden voice, and indeed read the lyrics to herself, "Hey, it's not good to be so cold to old friends." "From behind the door came a man in a cloak, about twenty years old, with light blue hair, with a well-rounded nose like a proud gladiator, and the word nobility written all over his face, although he did not have an umbrella, but there was no trace of rain on him.

"Mars, people without faith are not welcome here." The girl stopped chanting, and when she called out his name, there seemed to be a cold breath in the rain.

"No, no, I'm a man of faith, Narissa, I believe in freedom, it's very similar to you, I think that old guy of God is also free." As soon as he finished saying this, a cold feeling surged through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Who do you say is the old guy!" The girl's voice was like ice, but Mars didn't intend to retract what he had just said, he giggled, waved his hand, and the fiery red magic drew a few traces, and then the coldness disappeared instantly, and his figure also appeared beside the girl, and he boldly stroked the girl's chin with his hand, and said: "I said you should know who the old guy is, Narissa, after so much time, you are still grumpy, although the appearance is as cold as a piece of ice, but I have never seen ice that can be detonated at any time." ”

The girl didn't say a word, but her eyes had already given Mars the answer, he suddenly had a sense of crisis, so he subconsciously took a step, and at this moment, a huge ice pestle rose from the ground, if it wasn't for Mars retreating, he would definitely be pierced by this ice pestle.

"Hey, Narissa, that's not right...... I'm just kidding, why be so angry? I'm an old fellow, I'm, God he's so magnanimous and will forgive me for my faux pas, so, let's make peace, okay? Just when I didn't say anything. Mars confessed his mistake very familiarly, and the chill surging through Narissa calmed down, and she moved away from Mars, and the ice pestle turned into a puddle of water, seeping through the leaky ground.

"Hurry up and talk about something, I don't want to talk too much to an idiot." The girl's tone was very tough, Mars shrugged his shoulders, he knew her temper, although he hadn't seen her for three years, but that kind of angry temperament basically couldn't be changed for a lifetime, even her teacher was helpless, obviously a person who practiced ice magic actually had such a big temper.

When Mars breathed a sigh of relief, he carefully looked at the girl in front of him, her hair had not changed, it was still beige, and the difference from three years ago was that her eyes became bright, no longer that kind of green look, he clearly remembered that three years ago when the two were separated in the expedition, they invariably looked back at each other, although he did not know what she was thinking, but he was very sure that he hoped to live to see her again.

"This three-year expedition is hard enough, although I returned to the mainland a year ago, but I still delayed my return time because of some other things." Mars said softly, responding to him with a sharp tone and disdainful eyes.

"It has nothing to do with me, when will you come back, what do you care about me? If you're here just because of this, well, you can go. Hearing that Narissa had given the order to evict the guest, Mars hurriedly said, "No, no, no, how can it be such a trivial matter?" I want to ask, whose hands are the source of ice magic, through my investigation this year, I have come to some amazing things, since you are an ice magician, you should know about this. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have to comment, although we are both students who graduated from the same academy, don't forget, since the day you graduated three years ago, you are a member of the Burning Fire Guild, and I am a member of the Ice Guild, and you should know the rules between guilds: Guilds must never reveal information about the source of magic." Narissa's tone was as tough as ever, which made Mars very helpless, how could he not know that there was such a rule? It's obviously made up by you Narissa who doesn't like me.

"This time it's not a joke, a new expedition will be launched soon, through my year-long investigation, 'Lava' will awaken during this expedition, and it must be followed by a magician with the source of ice magic, otherwise the expedition will be very difficult."

Narissa thought about it, she knew that this guy wouldn't joke about this kind of thing, but she didn't want to tell him about it in her heart, after all, this unreliable magician followed the expedition to the original continent, and as a result, the other team members all returned a year ago, although they were still at the end of the edge of the sea, but this guy came back a year later than the others.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your investigation?" Narissa confirmed again, and looking at Mars's sworn appearance, she said slowly, "I have one here for the source of ice magic." ”

【The city-state of Kuyman of the Crescent Moon Empire in the Western Continent】

When Ike's head was about to be blown up by the materials in the Commune library, Cruise cleverly gave him the icing on the cake - he woke up early in the morning to practice his strength and wielded his great sword a thousand times. At this time, the sky was not yet red, and Ike's wheezing had replaced the rooster's crowing in the early morning, and he had woken up the sleeping people first, he was covered in sweat, clenching his teeth tightly, and beside him was Cruise, who had not woken up with a hangover, and he was holding a whip and blistering in his nose. As soon as Ike stopped, it was as if he had suddenly woken up, and he snapped the whip up, so that Ike couldn't stop at all.

"What a human being! Cruise, you bastard! I can see the essence of your livestock, but I drink and sleep and torture me, and I lose my conscience! Ike's wolf-like cry filled the entire expedition camp with resentment, and although it was just the two of them, the expedition camp was very close to the block, so it attracted a large group of people to watch the usual gangster boy be cleaned up.

"Are you idle! Get out of here! I'm still laughing, I'm really hurting!! After Ike had been hoarse for nearly three hours, he had finally made a thousand, and his hands were about to break, and Cruise on one side stretched and said, "Oh, yes, yes, well done, in this way, I guess after a week you will be able to swing your sword freely, En, boy, it's always good to work hard, at least to give you a little more chance of surviving the expedition, for you, a little more." ”

"Bastard Cruise, you wait, I'll take revenge on you!" Ike was lying on the ground screaming like a livestock waiting to be killed, and Cruise looked at him with a smile on his face, and he had a few more ideas in his mind.

"Okay, it was physical training just now, and now it's mental training time, I ask you questions, you answer, don't worry, you must have seen it in those books, otherwise I wouldn't have asked, first of all: what is the source of magic power?" As soon as Cruise asked this question, Ike was confused, he didn't remember at all, he had heart failure yesterday and was now embarrassed by high-intensity exercise, so it was strange that he had the heart to answer your question.

"I ...... I don't know ......" Before he could finish speaking, Cruise's 46-yard foot stepped on his face, completely imprinting a trace, and then scolding Ike for being an idiot with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Boy, you haven't worked hard, you don't know what the source of magic is? Let me tell you, you give me a good memory, the source of magic is the source of an elemental magic, it usually takes the form of crystals, the person who has the source of magic is the best of the magicians, the average magician has no source of magic, only those genius magicians are worthy of having the source of magic, this thing not only provides you with abundant elemental magic but also a symbol of your status. Cruise said in detail about the source of magic power, and Ike's legs were weak when he heard it, but he was not listening, but he was tired of swinging his sword: "Okay, then the next question, how many ways are there to obtain the source of magic power?" ”

Ike thought for a moment, even if he didn't know, he might be able to be blinded, so he stretched out his index finger and little thumb to Cruise, and said in a soft voice, "Two? ”

Cruise's face suddenly turned a little gray, he put his hand on the two fingers that Ike stretched out, broke it hard, and then a vivid scream passed through the street, rippling in the city-state of Kuiman: "Boy, although you are right, if you dare to sit on this gesture at me again, I will chop this hand for you, and what are the two ways to do it?" ”

"No...... I don't know......" A pair of big feet were printed on Ike's chest after he finished speaking.

"Boy, I suddenly want to give you a good time, listen to me, the first way is to get it by refining the magic stone by a great magician with a high cultivation level, the purity of the magic source obtained by this method is high, but the number of great magicians who can do this is very small, so the source of magic is a scarce thing, in addition, the other way is to find the free magic source that exists in nature, boy, remember, the free magic source must not be absorbed casually, the power in it is turbid and unknown, You have to be purified before you can use it, you kid has traces of magic in his body, and he will have the opportunity to use magic in the future, so remember it for me! Cruise said fiercely, and Ike nodded violently, then was kicked down again.

"Okay, now repeat what I just said, and I'll see if you remember." Cruise asked, but the next second, his face turned green, because Ike said:

"I ...... I don't hear you clearly, you say it again......"

The people of the city-state of Kuiman loved nothing more than to hear the roar of a wild beast being ravaged, so pleasant and comforting, with a glass of wine, that could make for a whole day.
