The silver moon quietly disappeared,

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the house through the half-open stone windows, and the curtains fluttered slightly with the gentle sea breeze.

The sun was shining right on the desk in front of the window, and with a rustling sound, a fair-looking and slender hand, holding a soft black quill pen, was writing something on the desk.

On the letter paper, a line of fonts written in the Chinese language of the Star Emperor mixed with the morning sun gradually cleared, white paper and black characters, looking beautiful and distinct.

"Dear Madam Wind, I am very grateful for your proposal, and I would like to go to the Night Forest to listen to the teachings of a powerful mage as I wish, but unfortunately, my father did not allow the Chrisch family to lose the slightest bit of power, and I understand my father's choice, the long and dangerous journey from Reef City to the Night Forest, the dryads of the Gullands, the ogres of the Hill Paths, and the evil orcs who are always wandering outside of civilization, the blood lessons of countless Star Heralds warn me that they are not easy to mess with。

My father's choice was not wrong, and if it were for me to make the decision, I believe I would have made the same choice, you know, since the Third Orc Expedition, most of the lords under the jurisdiction of the Empire have not had a good time, especially Reef City, which is an important city in the Empire.

I am sorry to write this letter, for I have been thinking of exploring the mysteries of magic with you all the time since I have been in correspondence with my lady, but unfortunately, the reality is always cruel, and I have experienced this deeply in the seventeen years since I came into this world.

My father and the elders of the family wanted me to enter the Imperial Scholar Tower to learn how to become a polymath to assist my brother, but I preferred to follow the brilliance of magic to explore this mysterious world than the endless old books, and the family didn't understand my thoughts, so I refused very hard, and paid a lot of price for it.

I am not complaining to you by saying this, the pressure on the family side will not shake my plans, and time will tell who is right and who is wrong.

I only hope that you will bear witness to my determination to magic, and that in the not-too-distant future, whenever my will is shaken, I will be reminded of today's letter, and of the smile you have given me in return in the distant and longing Night Forest.

It's not too ambitious, and it's not like I'm always thinking about it. In fact, I am now an apprentice mage, and before I became a lord, I was fortunate enough to meet a mage and enter the temple of magic under his teaching.

By the way, I'm still a lord in Bay City on the south shore of Reef City, and it's chaotic in every way, and my father probably didn't expect much from me, but I don't think so...

If you pass through the Gold Coast in the south of the stars, you must come to visit me, and I hope that one day in the future, I will be free to travel freely through the dangerous wilderness outside the city, have a pleasant and interesting adventure, and I will also go to the mysterious elven land to listen to your insights into human magic.

Finally, I wish you eternal youth, dear Ms. Feng.

Your faithful human friend, Alan Klisch

The 137th year of the Star Empire, written in Bay City. ”

——————

Putting down the quill pen and gently rubbing his slightly sore wrist, Alan checked the letter for errors, put it in the envelope that had been prepared, and finally sealed it with fire paint.

The crimson sealing wax gradually dried, and Alan immediately whistled, and the sound sounded, and the breeze stirred by his wings blew in his face.

"Goo-goo"

All the while the gray-black owl flew from the other end of the room onto Allen's shoulder, gently pecking at his white earlobe.

Smiling, Alan scratched the owl's chin, then watched as it flapped its wings and left the window, his gaze lost in thought.

Ms. Wind is a mysterious elven mage who hasn't been in touch since they appeared as pen pals a year ago.

Alan began to be very wary of the appearance of this elven mage, but in a long period of correspondence, he found that this mage had a great impression of himself, although inexplicable, but he also slowly became accustomed to the appearance of this mysterious lady, until finally he basically let down his vigilance and became able to say something to her like a confidant, which he would not normally say to outsiders.

"Maybe it's not out of nowhere to rumor that the Chrissy family has elven blood. ”

Muttering, Alan cleaned up his slightly cluttered desk and went downstairs to leave.

Descending the castle's stone staircase to the hall on the first floor, Alan greeted the servants who were cleaning, and then looked at the two people at the long table in the center of the hall: "Barry, Rowan, hello." ”

"Hello Master Ellen. The two stood up in response

As a lord, he has a lot of subordinates in name, but in essence, at present, these two people can completely direct the move, they are brought by Allen from Reef City, and they are considered confidants.

As soon as he took his seat, Alan looked at Barry on his left: "How's the city defense docking?"

Barry is a burly, bald head, and a scar on his nose that makes him look a little scary, but he has a very good personality.

I only heard him reply: "It's bad, the militia don't trust us at all, and it won't be long before the fish-men in the sea will come ashore, so they're very sensitive now, and our people can't get in at all." ”

Shaking his head as he spoke, he finally added regretfully: "If I could do it, I believe the situation would not be like this." ”

"Of course you can't do it. Alan waved his hand: "We are protectors, not intruders. ”

"But there is no way to continue such a stalemate. "Barry doesn't quite understand.

Before he entered Allen's family, he was a mercenary, and he was used to solving problems by force, although there was no lack of calmness in his temperament, but the first thing he thought of when he encountered problems was to fight.

In this regard, Alan said nonchalantly: "Let's do this for the time being, we have only been here for less than a week, and it is normal for the citizens to be wary of this, after all, they are used to the days without a lord." ”

At this time, the servants in the castle had finished cleaning and began to prepare today's breakfast at Alan's instructions.

Alan continued to say to Barry: "You are in charge of maintaining the fortifications of the castle first, this castle has been uninhabited for a long time, it has fallen into disrepair, and some places are probably not very safe. ”

"Okay. ”

Barry nodded, no objection.

After explaining Barry, Alan looked at Rowan on the other side.

Compared with Barry, who his father assigned to him not long ago, Alan still has some confidence in the brown-haired young man in front of him who has been following him for a long time, but in the face of Allen's gaze, the brown-haired young man only responded with a wry smile: "The formation of the newspaper is also not smooth, although we have the support of the headquarters of the Reef City newspaper, but Reef City is too far away after all, except for some news information, printing and distribution have to be done by ourselves, and the distribution is good, printing is a big problem, because there is no printing house in Bay City at all." ”

Alan frowned when he heard this, this is very troublesome.

He had to set up a newspaper office, because for some reason, he had to make himself famous, and the more famous, the better.

If you want to become famous, you can't do without the transmission of information, and there is no network in this world, and the speed of information transmission is very slow, basically relying on oral transmission, and the scope of communication is generally only one city.

A clear example of how much information is blocked in this world - so many people in the empire don't know what their emperor is called.

Therefore, if he wants to become famous quickly, he can only build his own channels for information dissemination, otherwise, with the current conditions, if he wants to become famous in the whole empire and even the world, the difficulty is probably hell.

He wasn't in a hurry. In his early years, because he felt bored in life, he set up an information collection system in Reef City, where his family was located, for his curiosity and gossip, and finally because he couldn't make ends meet, it developed into a newspaper similar to the newspaper in his previous life, but at that time he didn't think that he would need to rely on it one day.

"Let's put down the printing house first, and then talk about it when it's stable, and then you form the other parts first. In the end, Alan didn't think of any good way, so he waved his hand and said: "First use the printing house in Reef City, and then transport the printed newspaper, it will take about three days to go back and forth, which is not too long." ”

"Okay. The brown-haired youth nodded.

Then there were no other problems, and during the chat, the servants had already prepared breakfast, the same black bread and hot milk, which made Alan miss the soy milk fritters in his previous life very much.

Yes, past lives.

He is not the native of this world, or not all.

Unlike his predecessors in many novels in his previous life, he was a time-traveler in his mother's womb, and he has been growing up in this world until now.

However, when he was born, he didn't know what kind of time-traveler he was, and it could even be said that he was no different from an ordinary baby during that time. The memories of his past life began to emerge slowly as he grew up.

This may be some kind of protective mechanism of the human body, or it may be something else, it has been more than ten years since Eren completely inherited the memories of his previous life. During this period, a lot of memories were inevitably lost.

For example, Alan doesn't know what his previous life was called, how old he was, what profession he was engaged in, the reason for crossing over, etc....

Of course, he didn't need to know those things, what was in his previous life was basically a passing thing, and sometimes he would wonder if he was a time-traveler or an aboriginal who had inherited the memories of the time-traveler.

Otherwise, how could he not even know what his previous life was called, who was it?

"Who am I, where do I come from, where am I going?"

Muttering a phrase from his memory that fits his current state well, Alan can't help but look at his left wrist holding the fork.

A rather mysterious six-pointed star birthmark is a powerful proof of his traveler.

Birthmarks are present from birth, and there is nothing special about them from childhood to adulthood until the day of the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen.

That day, his awakening ritual failed, but at the same time, the birthmark was activated.

After a year of exploration and experimentation, Alan has a general understanding of the function of this birthmark, which is magical, but the opening conditions are equally demanding.

It is also because of it that Alan gave up the second inheritance of the Golden Family of Reef City under the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, and came to this chaotic town called the Pirate Bay by many people, as a little lord with no future.
