Chapter 4: The Awakening Ritual

"Alas, today's young people are playing with all the bells and whistles, and they hope to save something alive. ”

The old man's palm shook slightly, and the entire space shattered like a mirror. Jiang Yang's soul body returned to the cave again under the heavy clouds.

"Huh?"

The old man frowned and looked at his grandson, whose soul body was becoming more and more blurred, Jiang Yang, who was supposed to awaken due to the awakening of his bloodline and quickly turn into a yin spirit under the nourishment of yin qi in his plan, did not begin to change as it should be, but dissipated like a normal reincarnation.

"It's strange, the way of heaven in this world is not revealed, and there is no place for reincarnation, this is the ......" The old man took out a dark golden bamboo slip and looked at it, and stroked his palm: "The soul of heaven belongs to his body, the soul of man is stolen by friends, and the soul of the earth is hidden in the world.

Hahaha, it seems that being unlucky to be like this is not only due to the old man's blood, you are already a premature death. I didn't expect the old man to come out this time not only to pick up a cheap grandson for nothing, but also to repay the debt of the faceless old man by the way, which is cost-effective, too cost-effective. Hahahaha......"

Thick clouds spit out from his mouth to seal Jiang Yang, the old man turned his hand and put away the fragments that were still wriggling on the ground and Jiang Yang's headless body, twisted his beard and explored around, found the right direction, picked up the bamboo slip and swiped it hard, and the space in front of him was cut like tissue paper.

"What people!" Although the way of heaven is not revealed, the gods rule the world. The gods are as powerful as the sea, the thunder in the sky is coming in an instant, but the old man has already stepped into the cracks, but the thunder is too late to fall, and he can only roar unwillingly in the air.

Soon, the clouds were light and the wind was light. No one knows that the former "home" of the two slave boys has been completely erased from this world, leaving no trace.

When Mao Tai returned to Flame City, it was already dawn, the crowd at the city gate was bustling, the smell of blood had already dissipated, and the dead slaves were as if they had never existed, from life to death, insignificant.

Mao Tai, who was originally a little numb, looked at the bustle of the city gate in front of him, and the picture of last night appeared in front of him, and his eyes gradually became firm. patted the frozen head in his arms, and said softly: "Jiang Yang, don't worry, I won't let you die like this, there must be some magic that can resurrect you, you wait for me." ”

"Hello, are you Master Thomas, a student of Lord Rhodes?"

Before Moutai could approach the city gate, a knight in light armor stopped him.

"Thomas? Oh, yes, yes, I'm a student of Mr. Rhodes. Moutai was stunned for a moment before remembering that he had asked Rhodes's maid for the contents of the identity certificate, and it seemed that his future name and surname had been mentioned.

"I am a knight squire belonging to the knights under the command of the city lord, and I am waiting here. Lord Rhodes instructed that when you return, I will take you directly to the Mage Guild, where Lord Rhodes is attending the meeting. ”

Moutai thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, can you send me to the teacher's house first, I'm afraid I need to clean it up first." ”

The attendant looked at the black blood stains on Mao Tai's body, and said with some hesitation: "This ...... Okay, but as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you. Mao Tai got on his horse awkwardly, and the two of them rode their horses and galloped around the city unscrupulously, put Jiang Yang's head and birthday present, changed into clean clothes, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror framed in gold wire for a long time, and then set off for the minaret to which the Mage Association belonged.

"I'm sorry, but adults are having a meeting, so please wait. The beautiful girl at the front desk couldn't help but look at the two of them, a mage apprentice and a knight squire, who had just shared a horse. Youth, it is a good age to be unscrupulous.

Mao Tai nodded, ignoring the girl's strange eyes, and said kindly to the knight attendants beside him, "Thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get here so quickly." ”

The knight squire was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the gathering of the old mages actually had to exchange magic experiences, so you don't know how long you have to wait." ”

Moutai was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I really thank you, I don't blame you, by the way, I don't know your name yet?"

"Glahide. ”

"Mao...... Thomas. ”

Looking at the kind knight squire, Maotai's heart moved, and he proposed: "By the way, Graheid, I heard that after becoming a professional, you can join the Explorers Association and go out on missions to train yourself, are you interested in doing it together?"

Grahide was about to reject him, after all, he was just an informal apprentice who had not yet activated his magical talents, so he wanted to go out on an adventure, which was really too ambitious. But when he saw the enchanted dagger on Mao Tai's waist, he couldn't help but think of the appearance of congealed blood all over his body when they met, and then said, "Okay, when you study in the association for a while, we'll find some tasks nearby." ”

Half a day's work passed quickly in the conversation between the two, and the empty hall had already entered many teenage peers at this time. After learning that there are not many "fake" nobles like himself, Moutai decisively told his original name to his future teammates.

"Looks like you've made new friends. ”

Mao Tai hurriedly turned around and bent down respectfully and said, "Teacher, I'm back." ”

Grahide skillfully greeted with aristocratic etiquette and said, "Hello, Master Rhodes. ”

Rode, who was walking slowly, ignored Mao Tai, nodded to Grahide and said, "I didn't expect the city lord to send you a task, thank you for your hard work." ”

Grahide was neither humble nor arrogant, and after a few small talks, he resigned: "Since you are here, then my task is also completed, and I will retire first." ”

"Okay, you go, remember to help me express my gratitude to the lord of the castle. ”

After the knight squire rode away, Rod said to Mao Tai, who was still bowing: "Let's go, I'll take you to the awakening ceremony." ”

After a general glance at the little kids around him, Rhodes was confident that his new student would be able to earn some face for himself in this ceremony, and walked staggering towards the ceremony hall with his hands behind his back, Mao Tai following closely behind, pinching his fingers a little nervously.

At noon, the towering minaret suddenly ignited a pillar of blood-red light that soared into the sky, and the residents of the city felt the scorching heat in the air. On this day, the future Blood Flame Magister, Thomas Sangster, officially became an elite member of the Mage Guild and embarked on the path of magic.
