If you forget the next life, how can you know that there is this life? In this life, I just want to stand on the top of the mountain and watch the scenery, and laugh at the people who come and go......

Look at the chapters of history, as vast as a sea of smoke, turning over and over, tens of thousands of years of stories, are drowned in the vastness of the parchment scroll, there is a generation of kings ruling the mountains and rivers, there is a great magister to destroy the army with a spell, there is a great sword saint to shatter the world with a sword, I don't know if it is the exaggeration of the narrator, or this world really has such an earth-shattering character, everything is sealed in the thick of the picture, and today's story has to start from an empire:

The sixth largest empire on the easternmost side of the Western French continent, the Dongyang Empire.

Also known as the Empire of the Undead, the history of the rise of this empire can be said to be singable and crying, it has fought with three of the other five major empires on the continent, after six million-level battles, fifty years, nearly 30 million soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, and then it became an empire from the kingdom, standing on the side of the morning light on the east side of this continent, and the thing that this empire started from is the heretical magic recognized by the entire continent - necromancy!

Three hundred years after the establishment of the Dongyang Empire.

There is a county in the northeast of the empire, the county is Xiushui, there is a town on the north side of Xiushui County, the town is called Anle, Xiushui County is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the east side is a silent mountain, which is a branch of the East Desert North Mountain Range, and the north side is the endless East Desert North Mountain Range, and in the north is the territory of the orcs, the desert North Prairie. Anle Town is the northernmost town of Xiushui County, and it is also the largest town on the north side of Xiushui County, close to the huge Dongmobei Mountain Range.

Maybe this place, which is now called Anle Town, was also full of fierce beasts at that time, deserted, and close to the territory of the orcs, and no one wanted the land, so the emperor of the empire could only distribute this land to the retired imperial veterans at that time, which was regarded as a pension, and this place was considered to be more angry.

At the beginning, there were thirty or forty households in this town, and later with the recognition of the existence of the Dongyang Empire by the other five major empires on the mainland, in a short period of more than 300 years of history, earth-shaking changes have taken place here, and now the whole town is no longer the Anle Village of thirty or forty households, but the Anle Town with a population of about 6,000 households.

Anle Town is not big or small, just an east-west main street, the stained stone road on both sides is the bluestone and green tile shop, there is a paper charm shop in the hundred shops, the shop is not big, this kind of shop is basically all the previous residential reconstruction, so the courtyard inside is very large, the small shop green lantern gold plaque, the plaque is written on the "magic rune paper" four words.

This small rune paper shop is not very famous in this town, just because there are really no high-end goods, that is, it sells rudimentary rune paper, which is usually frequented by some mage apprentices or ordinary people. Although the small shop is not famous, the people who open the shop are well known to everyone in this town.

The owner of this small rune paper shop is an old man, the old man has no children and no daughters, he was also a junior swordsman and apprentice-level alchemist in his early years, and when he was young, he participated in the war against the orcs, and later because of his injury, the empire gave him ten acres of thin fields, and he stayed in this town. The people in the whole town are called good old man, and when they meet a middle-aged person in a family who takes a picture, they are called good uncle, and if they are children, they are called good grandpa.

It may be that this good old man is too old, one hundred and forty-three years old, an absolute long life, and he has not lived for a few years, and the whole town respects him, and no one is calling his name as he gets older.

But the name of this good old man was called by the townspeople about ten years ago, probably because this old man has no children and no daughters, and he has no companion in his old age, ten years ago one night passing by the nameless stream in the town, I saw a two or three-year-old child crying in the grass, the cry was a little heartbreaking, and I came forward to ask, maybe because of a child, too young, and I couldn't understand the words.

The old man may have been moved by pity at that time, so he guarded the child here, and gave the child some black bread, probably because he was hungry, and the child did not cry after eating the black bread, and the old man waited with the child for his parents, which was four or five days.

This Anle town is surrounded by mountains on both sides, jackals and monsters are often haunted, the old man waited for four or five days and did not wait for people, maybe the child's parents estimated that it was also bad luck in the desert north mountain range, so they took the child back to the town to raise themselves. It was named "Night".

Don't think that this name is anything high, the old man was promoted to fight a small people, he was a junior swordsman with a little talent when he was young, he became a squad leader-level officer in the army, and in his later years he relied on the ten acres of thin fields given by the empire to live, and he changed his house into a shop, relying on his youth to be an apprentice-level alchemist, and his income was basically less than the residents of the town, and more than the bottom.

But the old man's own food is plus taking care of a young child, and he doesn't have the money to find a good name for the child, and the common people are cheap, so it happened to be a dark day when he met the child that day, so he named it "Black Night".

Four or five years later, the old man adopted an abandoned baby boy. The town is surrounded by mountains on both sides, the arable land is too little, and it all depends on the sky to eat, and there are many children in each family, except for a few acres of thin land, it is basically to rely on the mountains to get some low-level monsters for a living, most of the town residents in this town where they have a little trouble eating by themselves, the old man's actions can be said to be a really kind move, an elderly lonely old man relies on his meager income to raise two half-grown children, and has indeed won respect, this is the simple and real residents of the town, think you are good, so see this old man is basically a good uncle, good grandfather's call. This is also the origin of the good old man.

I don't know if there are good people in these years, but it really reflects this in this good old man, the boy named "Black Night" adopted by the old man was tested by the town's magic academy to have the talent of a mage when he was eight years old.

This is amazing, in this piece of town originally the old man adopted an abandoned baby, homeless child, although everyone said that the old man was kind-hearted, but there were also some gossip, this old man is so old, about to enter the loess people, this child is still so young, this will take a daughter-in-law, what to do with life, and how the old man raised this child, the old man is so old, he can't go up the mountain to get a low-level monster or something, food and clothing is really a problem.

Maybe this is fate, God will always have mercy on kind-hearted people, this Dongyang Empire's treatment of mages, that is the envy of the entire common people, and it can no longer be regarded as envy.

The Dongyang Empire stipulates that anyone who is detected to have a magician talent or fighting spirit in the empire can go to the corresponding association to receive five gold coins per month until the age of eighteen.

This is not remarkable, the civilian families in the town have exhausted their strength, and they earn about a hundred gold coins a year, and as long as there is a corresponding mage or a child who can fight with talent, that is, he will eat the imperial food when he is still a child, and he will eat until he is eighteen years old, and a child will not do anything for a year, and the money he can earn will almost catch up with half of the family's income.

Not to mention that he will enter the public academy of the empire to study and receive the training of the empire, and when he comes out of the academy in the future, he will basically hold an iron rice bowl, and it is not an ordinary iron rice bowl. An eight-year-old child can receive five gold coins a month, if he graduates from the academy, it is conceivable that at least it is at the level of a magician and a douqi apprentice, and the money earned is not comparable to those five gold coins, at least there is no problem at all to feed a family.

This may be the result of kindness and good retribution, the gossip when the old man picked up the child disappeared instantly, and all of them became the door-to-door doll kiss.

And our story begins with the child picked up by this good old man.......

Early in the morning, a half-grown child in a black apprentice-level magician's robe in the rune paper shop in Anle Town was vigorously removing the window panels that were taller than himself, shouting towards his yard

"Dog tail grass, hurry up, you dare to be lazy on the kang, grandpa won't smoke you, you see if I can smoke you. ”

"Get up, get up, I said brother, you can't let me go, tomorrow is the Enlightenment Day, don't let me sleep lazy!"

"You still know that tomorrow is a holiday, you know that tomorrow is a holiday, you should hurry up for me, come and help me clean up, clean, you don't help me do it, do you want grandpa to help me do it? grandpa is so old. As the half-grown man in the black mage's robe spoke, he finally managed to remove a wooden baffle from the window.

When the elder brother finished speaking, he saw a little fat mound coming out of the yard, walking up to his brother and helping his brother to remove the baffle on the window.

"Come on, come on, call the daimyo! forget your worries, don't be grassy, my little sister Simin will definitely laugh at me when she hears it." ”

"Hurry up, don't ink, tomorrow is the Enlightenment Festival, there are many people in the town today, and it is estimated that all the villages in ten miles and eight villages will come, our business is estimated to be better these days, dare to get the baffle down and open the business, I still have something to do in a while." ”

"Brother, are you in trouble? Will you let me clean up by myself? Why are you having something to do every day these days? Is it that Aunt Rosanna introduced the second girl of the mayor's family to you last time, and you two are eye-to-eye, which grass are you going to go on a date when you run out every day?"

"Get out! just the size of your second sister, I'm about to catch up with you, one can fit me three, how can I also be a mage, how bad my eyes are, I like your size"

"Brother, I'm not happy about it, what do you say, I'm rich, you look at the mayor, the whole family is my size, the whole town says that I can be blessed in the future, you don't rush to the market now, your brother, you still dislike it, I think my second sister is good, and she is a good match for you, the key is that their family still has money, and they are still the mayor. After Xiao Chubby Dun finished speaking, he couldn't help but pat his round little belly.

"Don't force me to scold you, grandpa spoils you too much, gives you all the delicious food, look at what you eat, so fat depends on how you will marry a daughter-in-law in the future. The elder brother in the mage robe couldn't help but roll his eyes at his fat brother and said.

"Don't worry about it, my future daughter-in-law will definitely be as beautiful as Sister Tina, definitely the kind of flower in town. ”

"Get out! hurry up and clean up the house for me, you will marry a daughter-in-law like Tina in the future, let your brother find a sister of yours, it seems that you will not be itchy for a few days." After saying that, the elder brother took the iron bar of the window baffle and directly made a gesture to whip this fat brother.

The frightened little chubby dun ran away.........
