The night was unexpectedly bright at Wolfsburg, and Ness looked out of the window to see several green waves of light in the sky stretching overhead to the horizon in the distance. Ness had never seen anything like this before, and her mouth was speechless in surprise.

"That's the Aurora, the Frontier Country. Rui was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating, and said strangely.

"People here are lucky to see this so often. Ness was amazed.

"Lucky, do you mean the people of the Frontier Country?" said Ray, pausing his meditation and staring at Ness, "The people here have lived in this cold and barren land for generations, and have used their lives to fend off the threat of the dark tide for the entire continent, and they have never demanded anything from the rich southern nations. Rui looked away from Ness, silently looking ahead. "Sometimes, I even wonder what makes people in border countries willing to do this, all men are created equal, aren't they?"

Ness, not knowing how to answer, pursed her lips and tried to say something, "I believe that everyone has their own mission, and fate has already arranged everything. ”

"Is that so? is that what the Archmages are trying to do with you?" Ray looked at Ness again, "Even if it's as you say, why can't we try to change our fate?"

"If fate could change. Ness tried to assert her beliefs. "But fate cannot be changed. ”

"Yes? We'll find out later. Rui smiled disdainfully, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Ness stuck out her tongue helplessly. "Maybe you should talk to Fern about that. ”

"I don't dare talk to him too much. Rui's eyes were still closed. "The more I talk, the more he will find out. ”

Ness blinked as if she didn't understand, turned around and continued to enjoy the magnificent scenery outside the window.

After three days, Stan and the other three take the other three people on a tour of Wolfsburg, and on this day he takes Fern and the others to the castle gate to explain the history of the Doyle royal family. Fern finally gets too little and interrupts Stan and drags him down an inconspicuous fork in the road by the castle.

"Stan, thank you for your kindness, but we have something more important. Fern said hurriedly, "The source of magic!

Ray and Ness, who were on the side, looked at Stan silently, waiting for his answer.

"Of course, I won't forget. Stan doesn't pick up the irony in Fern's words. "In Doyle, the king receives the commoners once every seven days, and we can take this opportunity to meet with the king and ask him to enter the source of magic. ”

"That's a good idea. Rui couldn't help but interject, "With so many civilians, why did the king see us?"

"The castle guard collects the people's demands in advance, and then the ministers choose on behalf of the king what they think is more important, and on that day the submitter of these claims can enter the castle and meet the king. Stan replied unhurriedly, "I did it three days ago." ”

"Asking for access to the source of magic is really an eye-catching appeal. Fern shook his head and said, "I think it's more likely that we're in the shackles." ”

"You can rest assured of that. Stan looked at the castle expectantly, "There are often requests for access to the source of magic, and the king is sure to receive them. Stan turned and looked at his three companions earnestly, "It's just that none of them have been able to get his permission yet." ”

"Why?" asked Ness, puzzled, "is he just superficially supportive?"

"Not really. Stan crossed his hands behind his back and began pacing. "He's just protecting those people, because if he doesn't have enough strength, even if he enters the source of magic, he will just give his life in vain. ”

Fern clasped his hands to his chest. "Is this source of magic really magical, and can it threaten human lives?" he looked at Ray and Ness, hoping to get some information about the source of magic from them.

Ness stared at Fern, holding her chin with her right hand and began to recall the description in the Mage Tower books. "Legend has it that the source of magic is a parallel world similar to our own, with the Endless Sea, Wallis, kingdoms from all ages, and even ...... Dark Tide. ”

"It's not just similar, it's exactly the same. Stan stops and looks at Ness.

"No, since it's called parallel, the space-time inside is different from ours. Ness glanced at Stan and continued to look down in an attempt to remember the book. "It is written that in the source of magic, people and events from all eras can appear together at the same time, for example......" She looked up at Stan again. "Stan, chances are you'll see your grandfather in the Source of Magic. ”

"Really?" Stan rubbed his hands together, as if he couldn't wait. "If that's the case, I'll have to go in anyway. ”

"It's just one case. Rui interjected, her tone colder than Doyle's winter. "There's also the possibility that we'll encounter things we don't want to encounter in it, such as when Wallis was devastated by the Dark Tide before Doyle was founded, and humanity was on the verge of extinction. ”

Stan pursed his lips and said with a serious expression, "If we were in that era, we would be able to defeat the Dark Tide as well!"

"Blind optimism won't do you any good. Rui snorted, clasping his hands over his chest. "Do you men have this problem? You are, and so is Fern. ”

"Could it be that you're being overly pessimistic?" said Fern tilting his head at Ray.

"It's not pessimistic, it's always right to think a little more. Rui's gaze swept over the two men in front of him.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else. Seeing that the fight was fruitless, Ness tried to divert the subject. "Stan, I've always had a question. She looked at Stan, who was grimacing.

Stan's face softened. "Speak. ”

"You said ...... when you were in Stocksinki Harbor," Ness looked around to make sure no one else was nearby before continuing, "You said that the Dark Lord is also the creator of the source of magic, I read so many books in the Mage Tower and didn't know this, and you are not even a mage, how did you know?"

"I listened to my grandfather, remember the tower where the source of magic was sealed? My grandfather was the same age as the archmage who guarded the tower, and they used to drink together, you know, they talked about everything when they drank too much. A relaxed smile returns to Stan's face. "So, wine is such a good thing. ”

"It's true, wine is a good thing. Fern nodded in agreement.

"No matter how you look at wine, it's a bad thing!!" Ness said angrily, as if it wasn't the archmage who had leaked her mouth, but she had revealed it.

Both Fern and Stan burst out laughing.

"So......" Rui's cold voice came again, "when will we meet the king?"

Stan's eyes are filled with pride and anticipation. "Tomorrow!" he said excitedly.
