Chapter 2: The Mystery Boy
The blue moonlight shone down on the gloomy streets, and a slight moan came from the depths of the street.
He saw a black figure huddled in a corner of the street, beads of sweat running down the figure's forehead, and an inaudible moan emanating from his mouth.
"It's hot...... It's so hot......"
"Ahh......h
Gradually, the unclothed boy was in extreme pain, rolling on the ground with his head in his hands. After a while, the boy fainted in pain......
The next day, early in the morning.
When the first rays of sunlight fell on the earth, a boy frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
"Who am I, and how am I here?"
The boy reached out and gently rubbed his forehead, only to hear a "clank" and a bronze token fell from the boy's hand.
"Rai...... Huh?"
"Yes, my name is Ryan, why am I here...... My head hurts!"
Ryan was thinking about it when he suddenly felt like his head was about to explode, and he couldn't help but slowly move outside.
"Eh, look at that boy, it's so pitiful, he came out to beg at such a young age, why don't we help him......"
Hearing his lover's words, a tall man took a gold coin from his pocket and put it in Ryan's hand.
"Huh?"
Ryan stared blankly at the gold coin in his hand, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Thank you. ”
The woman walked up to Ryan and reached out and touched his head, "What a poor child, what about your parents?"
"I don't know, I don't know, my head hurts......" Ryan covered his head with his hands and curled up on the ground.
"Child, don't think about it, don't think about it if you have a headache, Akai, give him the book you have, I hope it can help him. ”
Hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took out a quaint parchment scroll from his bosom and put it in Ryan's hand, and likewise reached out to stroke Ryan's head, while hanging a bead from his neck around Ryan's neck.
Ryan tried to stare at the two men in front of him, trying to keep their appearances in his mind as best he could.
"Brother and sister, can you tell me your names. ”
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "The little brother is really good at talking, my name is Shireen, his name is Keyif, the little brother should take care of himself~ But not everyone is as kind as his brother and sister, when he goes out, he stays three points when he meets someone, no matter who he is, he can't believe it casually, not everyone in this society is as good as you think." ”
Ryan nodded, "Sister, you are good people, and I, Ryan, will not forget your kindness for one day when I am alive." ”
Shireen chuckled, touched Ryan's head lightly, and walked away with Kleeve.
......
"What do you think of this kid?"
"You can see that this child is definitely not simple, I think that thing can be considered about him, depending on how far he can grow......"
......
Ryan opened the parchment scroll in his hand and saw four clear golden characters "Introductory Codex".
"Hmm, what is this? The little people painted on it are so funny, and there seem to be little bugs on my body, which look like the ones in my body. ”
Ryan took the scroll in his hand and read it for a moment, then put it away, "I'm so hungry, I want to eat......"
Ryan paced down the street in a daze, until sunset, when he returned to the dark street again, curled himself up in a corner.
At moonrise, Ryan's head ached as usual, and he rolled on the ground with his head in his hands, but no one noticed that a small milky white bead on Ryan's chest emitted a soft halo that soaked the boy's body.
There seemed to be a few meridians in Ryan's body that were slowly shining, and small points of light entered Ryan's body from the surroundings, and those meridians seemed to have been warmed up, constantly feeding back to Ryan's body, and Ryan's seal hall also exuded a circle of white light.
As if the pain was waning, Ryan gradually fell asleep, and the corners of his frowning brows relaxed.
The next day, early in the morning.
"Huh?"
A lazy moan unconsciously came out of Ryan's mouth.
"Why did my head hurt so much last night...... It seems that the little beads given to me by my big brother give off a hint of coolness, and then my head is quietly painless......"
"Well, my big brother seemed to give me a picture of a villain, and the little bugs on it seemed to crawl in my body last night, and then I felt so comfortable in my body. ”
Thinking like this, Ryan sat cross-legged like a picture depicted in the Codex, quietly watching the "little worm" in his body wriggling.
Suddenly, as if a fuse had been lit, Ryan saw small dots of light of various colors jumping in the air with joy.
"Gold, green, blue, red, brown, blue, yellow, white, black, nine colors? No, there's another one, eh? Why is this little dot of light transparent?"
What Ryan didn't know was that this realization had a profound impact on his life, and of course, this is all a story for later.
Ryan looked at the "little dots of light" around him, and couldn't help but convey his kindness to them, "My name is Ryan, what are your names? ”
The nine-colored points of light seemed to feel Ryan's thoughts, and danced happily around Ryan, entering the "little bugs" that Ryan was cultivating one by one.
Ryan felt a sense of fullness that he had never felt before, and he almost looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, but he felt that if he did make a sound, something bad would happen.
Trying to restrain the strong feeling of comfort, Ryan slowly spread his thoughts to the transparent points of light, constantly spreading his thoughts to them.
The transparent point of light seemed a little intimidating at first, but as Ryan continued to try to communicate, the point of light was not as repulsive as Ryan was.
"Hello ......"
"Huh, you can speak? The other little dots of light can't speak. ”
"That's because I'm different from them, you can call us 'elementals', and you human mages have become so powerful by connecting with us. ”
When Ryan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Wow, doesn't that mean that you are more powerful than those mages!"
Those transparent spots of light are a little embarrassed "huh...... Not really, if it weren't for those mages, we would only be free of air like we are now, and we would not be able to exert any power. ”
"Oh~ I see, then why the other little points of light ...... No, the elements have colors, only you are transparent?"
"Those colored elements each represent a kind of ability, which are the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light and darkness, you mages can generally only establish contact with one element, and most of them are five element elements, the remaining four elements can rarely be connected, and being able to establish contact with many elements can only be done at a higher level. ”
"As for us, why are we transparent, because we are a more special kind of existence, you can call us spirits, we are like glues, we can connect all kinds of elements, so that they will not be unable to coexist because of mutual restraint, as for other functions, you can only figure it out by yourself in the future, after all, you are the first mage who can contact us in so many years. ”
After hearing Ling's explanation, Ryan couldn't help but push out of the cultivation process and take a long breath.
"Is there so much fun in this world? It's really fun to play with the elements and communicate with spirits, then, I've decided, I'm going to become the most powerful mage in the world, I'm going to break through that day and see the outside world!"
