Simon Lanham, a junior apprentice in water magic.

He is 23 years old, comes from an ordinary farmer's family, was found to have a certain talent for magic, and his life changed after entering the door of the wizarding world.

Although the most powerful water-based magic he mastered, it was only a level 2 water bomb, which could condense a ball of pure water enough for an adult to drink for a day.

A maximum of 10 pieces are released every day to solve the drinking water problem of 10 people.

It can only be used to interfere with enemy attacks, and the range is only a meagre 30 yards.

Even so.

Joined the Wizards' Guild and the Adventurer's Guild, and participated in many adventure activities.

He still earns about 20 gold coins a year, which is twenty times the annual income of his parents, who are farmers in his hometown.

Not only can you easily support yourself.

You can also take out a part of the money to honor your parents and family, which greatly improves the lives of your family.

Even if he nodded, he could easily solve his single problem, marry a daughter-in-law at the level of a village flower, and form a happy and wealthy family.

But......

Simon is still very young.

It's not the kind of ordinary life where you are rich and you are safe, and you only pursue the hot kang head of your wife and children.

Although his magical talent is ordinary, he is in the middle and lower.

However, he wanted to get rid of his status as a magic apprentice and become a full-fledged mage before the age of thirty.

That is, if you launch a level 4 water magic "Water Sword", which has the power to penetrate the heavily armored knight, you will be recognized as an official mage, otherwise you will always be a magic apprentice and play a little miscellaneous role in the team.

The dream is very full.

But the reality is very cruel and skinny.

There are more than one trillion intelligent lives in the world of Julius Soma, but magicians only account for one in ten thousand, and the official mages who can get on the stage are only one in a million, and Simon is just the most inconspicuous member of the audience.

The reason is very simple.

The advancement of a mage requires a lot of resources.

The first is knowledge, the knowledge of magician theory, all kinds of magic books, which are monopolized in a large number of magic families and guilds, and even the price of magic entry-level books is extremely high, not to mention more advanced theories, or the notes of those well-known magicians.

To gain knowledge comes at a great price.

The second is resources.

The magic stones used in meditation have a high concentration of magic elements, the meditation stones that calm the mood and speed up the efficiency of meditation, the sobering potions that are refined with large side effects, and the magic tonic potions that are often used in battles, and the recovery potions that heal the body...... The effect on the magician is very large.

This means that the cost can be very high.

If you don't have a rich enough family background, you can only accumulate slowly, and your improvement is very slow, even if you are a gifted wizard, it takes a lot of time and energy to become a full-fledged magician.

In summary.

Under the premise of no special circumstances, with Simon's qualifications, he must be promoted to an official magician, at least after the age of forty or fifty.

But he was not reconciled!

You must know that under the great magician, the lifespan of magic apprentices, junior magicians, and intermediate magicians is about 100, and it is rare to exceed 100 years old.

And even if the promotion is successful, there are not a few years to enjoy, plus the age of the body, the body is gradually aging, the brain is not flexible enough, and then it begins to decline.

Such a mage life.

It's just desperate.

To be recognized, if you want to get a better future and development, it is best to become a full-fledged mage before the age of 30, become an intermediate mage before the age of 40, and finally work hard to impact the great magician, break the shackles of life, and embrace a long life of 300 years, which can be regarded as a more successful life.

Before the age of 30, if you don't make any breakthroughs, there is basically no hope in this life, and you will never be able to become a role on the big stage.

So Simon made up his mind, no matter what he paid, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, even if it was a life, he would strive for that one in ten million possibility.

It was precisely at this time.

From thousands of miles away, a piece of news came that shook Simon.

Liyuan Gobi, the city of magical research.

Recently, the news of this new force came to his ears, which made him extremely interested, and even shocked.

There is no way that the newly emerged force is too noisy.

Build a huge magic tower building in one day.

Tens of millions of acres of land were reclaimed, and they were harvested in a long day.

What surprised everyone even more was that millions of Karen's high-quality food, the lords of Magic Research City, were all distributed for free, and anyone could take them, as long as they brought them, they could take as much as they wanted.

And the first batch is finished, and the second batch is ripe again, and I can't take it anymore.

It is said that the people of the Principality of Aaron, as well as the noble lords, did not have to grow food at all for these two years, and they did not have to worry about starving to death.

And that's just one aspect.

On the other hand, through the unmanned aerial equipment that flew in the sky, the news that the Magic Research City was recruiting magicians also spread to a radius of thousands of miles.

Simon heard the announcement of the unmanned aerial device with his own ears:

"Whether it's a magic apprentice, beginner, intermediate, or grand magician, we welcome it with open arms."

"In order to study the ultimate mystery of magic, we have prepared a generous reward, as long as you are willing to share your knowledge, we will give the corresponding reward, the annual salary of millions of gold coins, tens of millions of gold coins, it is not a dream, as long as you have this value."

"At the same time, we also welcome all those with the talent and qualifications of magicians to study in the Magic Research City, the first batch of 100,000 students we have prepared, regardless of whether they are high or low, only look at talent, anyone can sign up, and all tuition fees are free, and generous scholarships are given to the excellent...... We don't ask for anything, we eat and live all inclusive, just to pursue the ultimate truth. ”

"Come on, this is a really good place, everyone can learn something, there will be gains, we will provide a free knowledge sharing platform, so that even the most qualified students, as long as they are willing to work hard, can become a great magician."

"We welcome you with open arms."

Puff~

The heart is moved.

Simon was intrigued at the time.

Although he didn't understand many novel terms, he completely understood the core meanings of several points.

Tuition is free of charge.

Food, accommodation and all-inclusive.

Knowledge exchange and sharing.

Those who excel are rewarded handsomely.

Just to solve the ultimate mystery of magic.

And so on and so forth.

With the above alone, Simon's heart is not moving, and he can't wait to go to the so-called magic research city immediately.

"I have a hunch that maybe this is the place that can change my fate."

"The Magic Guild and those families have monopolized knowledge too thoroughly, and magicians from small families, no matter what their talents, have no chance of getting ahead."

"I don't have money, I don't have resources, I have almost nothing, the only thing I have is an unwilling heart."

"If the Magic Research City is willing to provide everything I need, even if it is to sign a contract to sell myself and serve them forever, I am willing!"

"Hope, my hope is there, go to the Magic Research City immediately!"

Simon immediately made up his mind.

So after the cargo escort task at hand was handed over, he found the head of the group, Steego, and proposed the idea of quitting the adventure group and going to the Magic Research City for further study.

When he was a little embarrassed to speak, after saying what he thought.

"You're going to the City of Magical Research too?"

The head of the group, Steggo, a burly and tall muscular man, looked at him in surprise and said: "I just took a new mission, to escort a noble lady and a batch of important supplies to the Magic Research City, since you are also going, then let's go together, I will not charge you fees, for the sake of several years of cooperation." ”

"Thank you, Captain!"

Simon nodded immediately, overjoyed.

After all, when a person goes out, he will encounter all kinds of dangers, he is a magic apprentice, his self-defense ability is limited, and a farmer can pose a threat to his life, if he can go with the adventure group, the safety will be greatly improved.

Naturally, he was overjoyed.

……

The rest was prepared for two days.

The convoy set off again.

The destination is the Magic Research City, which is thousands of miles away, and it is expected to be reached in half a month (half a long day).

Simon, who was dressed energetically and looked a little handsome, also met the aristocratic lady who hired the adventuring party to protect - a delicate beauty under the age of twenty, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with smooth blonde hair that looked very noble, with a slightly raised chin, and a haughty temperament, complaining from time to time about the poor conditions.

Her name is Roanna Xuedi, the daughter of the famous magic family, the Xuedi family, and her identity is indeed extremely noble.

In addition, although she is less than 20 years old, she has a lot of resources to throw down, coupled with her outstanding talent, she is already a junior fire magician, and her magic strength has entered the room, and the explosive fireball released can easily take people's lives.

The appearance and temperament are quite outstanding.

It's just that the personality is a little worse.

So along the way, Simon, who is also a magician, turned out to be a servant serving this noble lady, and was called to do a lot of things.

"The water provided by the convoy is so unpalatable! Simon, get me some pure water, I can't get used to the rest of the water. ”

"Yes, Miss Roana!"

Simon bowed politely like a gentleman, then unleashed his water polo technique, poured it into a water bag, and handed it to Anna's hand.

"I want to eat honey bread, help me buy some honey bread and come back."

"Yes, Miss Roana."

"My boots are a little dirty, so I'll clean them with water polo, but don't get too wet."

"Yes!"

"Go give me ......"

Along the way, in just two or three days.

Roanna ordered at least a hundred small tasks, put forward various needs, and asked Simon to run errands, and the command was very attentive.

Simon had no choice, he didn't dare to refuse to offend such a noble lady, so he could only do it one by one, even if some small tasks were very troublesome, he would try to satisfy her.

Day 4.

Luo Anna praised him for the first time and said: "Your performance in the past few days is quite good, I also know that you are going to study in the Magic Research City, and my purpose is the same, then, you will be the servant by my side, just lack such a little brother, hurry up and be grateful to Dade to express his gratitude, with me covering you in the back, no one should dare to bully you, cherish this rare opportunity." ”

Simon: "??? ”

He had a question mark on his head.

But looking at this noble lady, she raised her chin slightly, as if waiting to hear his oath of allegiance.

In order not to spoil her interest, he could only say, "Thank you, Miss Roana, I will behave well!" ”

1,000 words of anti-theft content (etc. will be modified)

Wei Ming's face showed a look of longing, and even an impulse arose in his heart.

After all, as a freelancer, he can go anywhere in the world, and there is no need to stay stuck in a big city and breathe uncomfortable turbid air all day long.

Moreover, the cost of living in the countryside is not high, and you can also grow your own vegetables and breed them, which is suitable for health preservation and full of fun.

It's a good idea to go to the countryside and develop.

Quasar.

The oldest, most massive, and most energy-dense object in the universe.

They are the product of the evolution of galaxies to the end, and their core is generally a massive black hole with millions to tens of trillions of masses of the Sun, surrounded by nebula dust with a diameter of tens to tens of thousands of light-years.

Under the huge gravitational pull of the black hole at the core of the quasar, the dust of the surrounding nebula continues to fall into the center of the black hole, which is shaped like a giant eye-shaped accretion disk.

Due to the fall of a large amount of matter, at the poles of the black hole, a huge amount of conversion energy will push a large number of high-energy particles to be ejected outward at a speed infinitely close to the speed of light, forming two huge pillars of light.

Right here and now.

In a star field 12.7 billion light-years away from the blue star, a quasar with a core black hole with a mass of more than 1,000 trillion suns, after swallowing enough material, caused by quantitative change, suddenly exploded!

A violent ray burst eruption was formed.

Among the countless high-energy particles ejected, there is a strange high-energy particle, which contains unimaginable energy, very similar to the primordial particles that were born in a very short time during the Big Bang.

Then, at a speed far exceeding the speed of light, beyond common sense, he crossed endless time and space, and flew in a certain direction of the blue star.

As evening approached, it was getting dark.

The row of turquoise office buildings across the river began to light up with colorful neon lights.

I remembered my good years when I was only 26 years old.

It began to exude a thick twilight like the twilight of this evening, and I fantasized about living an idyllic and comfortable rural life.

Forty years of early retirement.

"Is it really appropriate to think about retirement so early, eat and wait for death?"

"Painting a two-dimensional cute girl every day, can you fill the emptiness of no object?"

"Isn't it better to have a house and a car in this prosperous world to have a place of your own than to be empty and not leave something in the world?"

"Life can't be as brilliant as summer flowers, but at least it must emit a little light and heat that people can see, just like that meteor, like a red line, although inconspicuous, but piercing the sky."

"No, why did that meteor fly towards me?"

I am surprised!

There was no time to dodge, and the thin red line went straight into Wei Ming's forehead and entered his brain.

Boom!

Wei Ming's eyes seemed to reproduce the scene of the Big Bang, endless energy and dazzling firelight, jumping and shining in front of him, showing countless changes, forming an orange world of fire, full of rage, disorder and chaos.
