Sophia and Joyka have been gone for a month, and the remaining three children always feel that they have lost something very important, they are no longer happy, and they are depressed all day long

On October 12, 1676, when Ray turned 8 years old, Regunor gave Ray a gift - Elena's sister returned from the front, and the three children regained their spirits, and they surrounded Elena all day long, asking her to tell stories about her encounters on the front line and thrilling battle scenes

After fighting on the front line for more than a year, Elena learned a lot and became more mature, she was sent to the valley of sin, and the three major battles in the early days all participated in the last two brutal battles, and the surviving mages were the elite of the elite, and they were the pillars of the Snowy Federation in the future, and the two armies faced each other for more than a year, and the number of exchanges between the two sides became less and less, and the power core meeting judged that the chances of a large-scale battle between the crusaders and the crusaders had been reduced a lot, so they decided to transfer back some veterans who had gained rich combat experience and replace them with a new batch of magesThe real purpose of Reguno's proposal is not as it appears on the table, he has his own private purpose: to transfer Elena back to his side as much as possible, because he has a very important matter that Elena needs to do for him

On October 16, four days after Elena's return, she was leaving again, and this time she did not leave alone, but took Owen away from the Cassius and Ray brothers, and their destination was Key Island, the place where the Central Church used to train paladins from childhood

Don't lose these things for you, before leaving, Reguno handed Owen a bulging cloth bag

What is this, Owen asked

The First Ring of Identity Mask explained that in the Holy Light society, commoners are not qualified to be knights, only the children of nobles can train as knights, so I spent a long time preparing this forged identity certificate, listening to your current identity, the son of a broken nobleman, living in a small city-state called Kashdova in the southwest of the West Lotfei Kingdom, your surname is Samorim, and his full name is Owen Samorin, you must remember that no matter who you use this identity, you must not say that you are a Pole, let alone a child of a commoner, understand

Knowing this, Owen agreed, but he immediately asked, "Uncle Reguno, why do I have to train as a paladin, I hate that Holy Light cult and the pope, and I don't want to be a paladin

You listen to the basic doctrines of the Cult of the Holy Light, which are justice, true love, mutual aid, guarding, and salvation, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it is wrong that there are some people in power who accuse the Church, who have succumbed to the doctrine and used the Cult of the Light as a tool to satisfy their own selfish desires, and there are many bad people and good people in the Cult of the Holy Light, such as Patnnin...... Well, it's your Uncle Merkone, he's the good guy who understands the true doctrine and doesn't go along with the bad guys, not to mention that making you a paladin is Puternin's last wish

Hearing you say this, I understand, mentioning Uncle Mercone, Owen is determined to say, I will not disappoint you and Uncle Mercone

Seeing that the child had opened up so quickly, Reguno nodded with satisfaction

Time flies quickly, and another spring and autumn cycle is repeated

Somewhere in the mountains of the Morun Continent, two figures, one large and one small, jumped rapidly between the mountains

That's right, Joyka can catch up with me

Just...... Joyka, who had followed behind, was panting, his body stronger and darker than when he left the Snowy Federation

I said, Mr. Tismu, Joyka, I have been practicing with you for almost a year, and you are just training me to jump and run every day, and I am a little bored, when will you be able to teach me your best bow and sword skills

Hahaha, it's still early, the half-elf laughs

Ah, Joyka hung her head in disappointment

At least until you have the right weapon

Really, Joyka has renewed hope

Over the past year, you've followed me around the three continents, and you know where to go after crossing this mountain

Wait a minute, Joika quickly pulled a sheepskin map out of her backpack and gestured with her hand to where we are...... After passing this mountain, this is the ...... Ah, the Dwarven Kingdom--Mr. Techino, what are we going to do in that place, and the information says it's very hot there

Find an old acquaintance and-the half-elf will seriously get you some good weapons

At this time, there was a very small village at the junction of the Rocal Empire and the Kingdom of Medin on the Star River Continent, and there was a very inconspicuous civilian monastery next to the village

With long blond hair, Sophia came to the door of a room in the monastery and knelt respectfully

Teacher, I have completed the magic training task you explained today, and I have completely mastered all the first-level light magic, now Sophia can start learning the second-level light magic

Sophia, your homework isn't all done yet, a female voice comes out of the room, it sounds a little older, but it's still soft and sweet, and you haven't done today's martial arts training yet

Sophia Nunu said with some displeasure: Teacher, isn't the purpose of our pastor learning light magic to help others, but why should we learn those things that hurt others, Sophia hates dancing and swords the most

Yes, we priests learn light magic to help others, not to hurt others, but have you ever thought that the gentle female voice in the room patiently explained to her that the world is dangerous, and even if you don't hurt others, no one will hurt you?

This one...... Sophia lowered her head, she thought of the innocent villagers of her father, the king's brother, and the innocent villagers of the village of Serre...... And Uncle John, thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but feel a little sad

Our priest is different from those magicians in the Snowy Federation and the Elven Race, and the people in the room continue to explain that light magic does not have too many combat spells like elemental magic, maybe you have companions in the team to protect you, but when you are alone, the priest who has no power to fight back is very vulnerable, let you learn combat training, not to ask you to hurt others, but to protect yourself in critical times, Sophia, you must know that only by protecting yourself can you take care of and save others, understand

Sophia understood, teacher, and I'm going to finish today's martial arts training

The day after the Snowy Federation Silver Mountain Seat sent Owen away, Reguno began his magical training for Cassius, as stated in the potential appraisal report, this fat man is indeed very magically talented, as if it was frozen magic, Regunor only taught him some magic theories, and the fat man himself comprehended a simple method of controlling the water element

But then Regunor became more and more busy, and Elena was often sent out by Regunor to run errands, and there was no time to teach this kid, so Regunor simply sent him to the classroom to receive a formal and systematic education

Instructor Cassius angrily smashed a chalk brush and landed impartially on Cassius' sleeping head

My roast chicken, don't run, Cassius shouted loudly, and suddenly woke up, only to see that his chubby face was full of chalk ash, and saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth

Cassius's actions caused a burst of laughter

Oh, the tutor fat man rubbed his eyes, only to realize that he was in class, and the tutor was staring at him with a fierce look

Even if you are a student recommended by Reguno, you can't be so presumptuous, you can talk about it yourself, you have not slept in class for so many days, do you still have me as a tutor in your heart

I'm sorry Instructor Cassius said seriously, I don't want to sleep either, but I understand what you said, it's too boring to go to class like this, and I fell asleep before I knew it, and Cassius's words caused laughter in the hall again

You...... The instructor was so angry that he almost fainted, he, the Master of the Three Rings, has been teaching the junior class for many years, and no student has ever dared to talk to him like this, okay, you Cassius, with the support of Minister Gagarin, is it very great, if you think you understand everything I said, go to the assessment of the Master of the Seven Rings, and then find an advanced class to take classes, or study in the Seventh Ring area of the National Library by yourself, don't be embarrassed in my class

Really, I can go to the Seven Rings Mage Exam Cassius stood up excitedly

Could he really go to the assessment, looking at his more serious energy, the tutor and classmates were dumbfounded

In the evening, Cassius took the notice of the assessment of the Seven Rings Mage, and returned home excitedly, only at the age of twelve, he crossed the mage's apprenticeship and directly became the Seven Rings Mage, who was younger than his teacher, and was a rare magic wonder, Reguno really had a discerning eye, this is the instructor's evaluation of him

But when Cassius came home and was about to show off the notice in his hand, he found that Regunor and his brother were not at home, and the fat man couldn't help but be a little frustrated, at this time, the goblin Colin handed him a letter left by Regunor, saying that he had discovered Ray's potential and wanted to take him to a suitable place to practice, and he would be away from home for a month or two temporarily

Ray, you can finally participate in the practice, Cassius laughed, he was happy for his brother, and the frustration just now was swept away

Uncle Reguno, what exactly is my potential identification, this is the 324th time Ray asks the same question along the way, but each time Regunor laughs and does not say anything, by this time they have been away from home for twenty-seven days

For more than two years, Lei didn't know what his potential was, watching his companions follow their respective masters one by one to learn and practice, but he couldn't do anything, which was a big blow to Lei, who had been weak and sick since he was a child, and he even gave up on himself, believing that he was a waste without any potential and talent, but twenty-seven days ago, Uncle Regunor suddenly told him that he had obtained the results of his potential appraisal and took him to practice on the same day, when Lei was ecstatic, he didn't even have time to inform his brother and set off with Reguno

Today is the Age of Light, November 2, 1677, they are in the territory of the Kingdom of Loma, known as the land of mountain kingdoms and griffins, originally starting from the Snowy Federation, through the valley of sins, and then through the kingdom of West Lot, it only takes a few days to reach the kingdom of Loma, but the valley of sin is still in a state of confrontation with the crusaders, which is no longer passable, and it will take less time to reach the destination directly by the airship, but because it is now in a state of war, any private airship may be requisitioned, including the Gagarin, and this time there is no urgency, there is no need to use the airship, so they chose a farther route: From the Snowy Federation, through the Silverwind Taiga, into the barbarians' territory, the Plain of Hellasia, and then by carriage south to the Kingdom of Loma

Then the two stayed in a hotel for a day, and early this morning, Regunor rented a griffon from a local nobleman, and sent him and Ray to the top of a nearby mountain

The top of the mountain was relatively flat, like a huge round stage, but the wind was fierce, and the thunder tightened his leather coat and wrapped his thin body

Uncle Reguno: It's cold here, what are we doing here

Practice, Regunor smiled and said to the child, I have to leave for a while, and then Regunor rode the griffin down the hill and left a little child alone on the top of the mountain

Uncle, you must come back, Ray ran to the cliff where Regunor rode away on the griffin, and shouted loudly--ahh

A few hours had passed, and Reguno had not returned, and Ray was wrapped in a leather coat on the top of an empty mountain, and what was most difficult for him to resist at this time was not the fierce cold wind, but the deepening fear and loneliness

Could it be that I was abandoned by Uncle Reguno, a waste like me may not have any potential at all, Uncle Regunno is just throwing away a piece of waste, a child is thinking nonsense

Suddenly, the sky darkened instantly, and then Ray looked around, he found himself in a huge shadow, Ray suddenly raised his head, he was surprised to find that a huge flying creature appeared in the sky at some point, it had a strong body, a long, thick neck, horns and frilled head, sharp teeth and a long tail, its hind limbs were strong, and its forelimbs were two terrible giant claws, flying with a pair of giant wings that resembled batwings, and its body was covered with scales......

Ahh

Ray had seen the creature in the illustrated book and recognized it at a glance, and the dragon's scales also emitted a golden sheen—it was a golden dragon

The golden dragon let out an earth-shaking dragon roar, and the thunder was so frightened that he trembled, and the dragon suddenly opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards the thunder, and the thunder's fear reached the extreme, and he spread his feet and wanted to run wildly, but where could he run on the empty mountaintop

Uncle Reguno, help, Ray shouted for help

At this time, Reguno was sitting on the top of a mountain opposite, and he saw the whole process of the incident, and he turned a deaf ear to Ray's cries for help

The dragon quickly swooped to the ground, swallowed the poor child, and then flapped its huge wings into the sky

Regunor watched the golden dragon depart from the top of the opposite hill, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had finished an important matter.
