Why did the demon return to the small town of Khaki in the Siberian mountains?

The story still needs to start three days ago.

"Knock Knock"

Argo knocked on the door in front of him, and this decision was enough to change his current fate.

"Please come in"

A majestic voice came from behind the door, and Argo carefully arranged his clothes, revealing a smile that thought he was sunny, hoping that proper etiquette could exchange him for the approval of the examiner.

Looking at the young man who walked in slowly with confident steps, the three examiners showed an appreciative look in their eyes.

The pace of this teenager is still unhurried under the gaze of the three examiners, and he obviously has a good psychological quality.

Nordir, the highest school in the Stylan Continent, is about to recruit students, and the Black Cloud Family, as the most powerful force group in the northwest of the Stylan Continent, will naturally choose the best young people to go to the Nordir Academy, which is why Ago came to interview today.

"Name"

"Muliugo"

"Age"

"Sixteen"

The three examiners looked at Argo, and the only woman among the examiners asked.

The other two examiners looked at the handsome young man while staring at the information in their hands, according to the investigation, this young man had a high evaluation at the grassroots level of the Black Cloud Family.

If physiognomy can judge a person's excellence, then Argo is undoubtedly the best category.

There was always a deep aura in the blue eyes of this young man, and the three examiners couldn't help but think that this must be a young man with a story.

"Mr. Argo, your hair is really beautiful."

One of the middle-aged examiners praised his silver hair by using the adjectives "really" and "quite".

Argo guessed that if the examiner was not an aesthetically conscious aristocrat, then he must have cared a lot about his race, and the examiner clearly belonged to the latter.

The first important thing for the outstanding students selected by the Black Cloud Family to be sent to the Nordir Academy for further study is that the origin must be absolutely clear, and they must absolutely maintain loyalty to the Black Cloud Family, followed by objective factors such as ability and appearance.

"Yes, sir, silver hair color is indeed aesthetic to a certain extent". Argo replied, regarding the question of hair color, he has been in Black Cloud City for two years, and he has never hidden it, and it is difficult to change the innate color.

But the humans of the Steelland continent are accustomed to distinguishing you and me by region, skin color, and race.

"According to the investigation, young man, you only came to Black Cloud City two years ago, is that so?" the examiner asked, this is a very intelligent young man who will not use useless excuses to explain the facts of the moment.

"Yes sir," replied Argo.

"Two years and three months, to be exact." Two years ago, Ah Ge came to Black Cloud City with the old pharmacist, and he has been living here for a long time, and a person full of inertia has been a little tired of it, so he will apply to leave the Black Cloud Alliance.

"According to your description two years ago, you lived in a small village on the edge of the Black Cloud Alliance until you were fourteen years old, until a group of robbers ransacked the village two years ago, and you were the only one who escaped at that time, can you describe the scene for us?"

Ago's memories were slowly evoked, there are many very backward mountain villages on the edge of the Black Cloud Alliance, where the policies of the Black Cloud Alliance are often not accessible in time, and the herdsmen living here are very simple, if there is no accident, they may not get out of here for the rest of their lives.

"It was a snowy night, and a dozen robbers rushed into the village, and in the cold conditions, the robbers seemed to be hungry and cold, and they rushed into the village with shouts, killing almost every man they saw, and plundering them when they saw a woman, money, food, livestock, and none of them escaped their ransacking." It was time for Argo to pause and give the three examiners room to fully imagine.

Ago's sight of the tragic fate of every villager still makes him feel a sense of hatred when he recalls it, even though the bandits have already gone to hell to be tortured by death.

"What happened to Mr. Argo is really sympathetic, how did you escape the clutches of the robbers?" asked the examiner.

"Mr. Examiner, although the robbers are cruel, but there are only a dozen of them, under the encirclement and suppression of the regular forces of the Black Cloud Alliance, they fled to the edge of the Black Cloud Alliance in a hurry, how can they still notice me, a thin teenager, who are extremely hungry?" said Argo.

"It was in a bone-chilling snowdrift that I escaped being searched by the robbers. ”

"They fell asleep contentedly when the robbers had slaughtered the tribe, and it was no wonder that these arrogant robbers had not even set up a sentry, and who would have thought that an accident would threaten their lives on the far edge? ”

"Oh my God, it's amazing that you've been hiding in a snowdrift all night and still alive. The female examiner was surprised.

"Yes, Lord Examiner, in the face of adversity, people can always burst out with strong willpower, right? Maybe it is this strong willpower that can give me the opportunity to appear in front of you." Argo replied calmly.

In fact, this is not only because of Ago's strong willpower, but more importantly, Ago used to live in one of the colder forbidden places for humans, the Ice and Snow Polar Region, compared to the wind and snow environment on the edge of the Black Cloud Alliance, which obviously does not have the ability to take Ago's life.

"It's an amazing experience," the examiners commented, glancing at each other.

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, fortunately I met the teacher who came to the edge of the Black Cloud Alliance to collect medicine, that is, the old pharmacist. He followed the old pharmacist to Black Cloud City. Argo said.

In fact, before meeting the old pharmacist, Argo had used his wisdom to keep the bandits in that tribe forever.

Just as the robbers had eaten and enjoyed themselves and slept comfortably, they set fire to the whole tribe like a ghost, and then all the sins would end in a deep dream.

The shouts, the cries for help, the cursing, and the "zez" sound from the flames burning the flesh all appeared in Ago's mind one by one, filling Ago with the excitement he had not seen for a long time again.

Fortunately, Mr. Death would be grateful to him for sending his sins to his scythe, and Argo was quickly relieved to think that the robbers would be tormented before death.

"Mr. Ago, don't be overly sad, fate will be kind to any child who has experienced suffering", if this examiner was not wearing the official costume of the Black Cloud Family, Ago would definitely think that he was a kind priest.

"Mr. Ago, you have already passed the assessment of a third-order alchemist, have you?"

"Yes. My lord, three months ago, I had already passed the examination of the Alchemist Guild," said Argo.

The eyes of the three examiners showed brilliance, the sixteen-year-old third-order alchemist, the talent and potential were undoubtedly very amazing, if such a young man entered the Nordir Academy to learn alchemy, he would definitely be able to bring the alchemy of the Black Cloud Alliance to a new height in the future, the current Black Cloud Alliance, alchemy is not developed.

"So, young man, what is the purpose of your choice to enter the Nordir Academy?" the examiner asked.

The purpose is, of course, to find out the mystery that shrouds him, the history of the Black Cloud Alliance is only more than a thousand years, in the past two years, Ago has rummaged through the collection of books in Black Cloud City, and has not found any information about the mystery shrouded in him, the Nordir Academy has been founded for more than three thousand years, and the library contains countless classics on the Steelland continent, and Ago is very yearning for this.

"My lord, naturally, it is to learn a higher level of alchemy." Argo replied.

The examiner nodded, talent is often not the most important, self-motivation and hard work are the keys to a person's success.

"Well, then, Mr. Argo, now there is only one last question left," said the examiner, putting down the pen in his hand.

The examiner's subtle movements made Argo understand that the next question could be the key to whether he could successfully enter the Nordir Academy.

"If you are in the middle of a desert and you are hungry and thirsty, and you have a glass of water and a dry well in front of you, and there is a line on the dry well, 'Pour this cup of water into the dry well, and the dry well will flow sweet well water', what would you choose?" asked the examiner.

"Sir, I'll drink this glass of water," Argo replied.

"Oh, why?" the examiner asked, hiding his admiring gaze and nonchalantly.

The choice made by several young people who participated in the assessment before Ago was to pour the water from the quilt into the dry well, because many people have heard of this story, and pouring the water from the cup into the dry well is the most standard answer to this story.

"Pour the water from the cup into the dry well, maybe there will be an endless supply of water in the dry well, but the answer is unknown until the water in the cup is poured into the dry well," said Ago.

"If you drink the water in the cup slowly, you can live for at least three days, this answer is known, my lord, there is a saying called 'put death and then live'" Argo said calmly.

"Very good" the examiner gave him an appreciative look again, and it was clear that Argo's answer had moved him.

"Is there any other point in doing that?" the examiner continued.

"Of course, sir, if you pour the water from the cup into the dry well, and the dry well flows out of the endless well water, I think I will be ecstatic to see this, but the dry well cannot be moved, and the next thing is to live by the dry well, because the dry well has become the whole of my life," said Argo with a smile.

"Once you are comfortable, you will lose your courage, and I will never have a chance to get out of this desert."

"On the other hand, drinking this glass of water and 'leaving it to die and come back to life' will give me the courage to get out of this desert," says Ago.

"It was a very wise choice," the examiner commented.

Argo smiled again, and it seemed that his unique answer had attracted the approval of the examiner.

"Now, young man, you can leave". The examiner said.

Argo bowed deeply to the three examiners, and politely exited the room, and when Argo left, the three examiners had a heated discussion,

"I think there is a big suspicion about this young man, his origin is too strange," said the middle-aged examiner with a frown, as a man, he looks at things more rationally.

"Mr. Senon, why don't we look at his answer with trust?" Ago's outstanding appearance, rare silver hair, slender figure, and deep azure eyes clearly impressed the female examiner, who was more emotional in comparison, believing that the young man might have been traumatized after the great change, and was reluctant to describe the scene in detail.

"Miss Dessa, 'No man should be good-looking,' not only tells us not to underestimate those who are not good-looking, but he also warns us not to be deceived by handsome people," said Senon.

"What's more, although this young man's attitude is decent, it clearly lacks the corresponding respect for us."

"Mr. Senon, it is not only awe that can be called respectful, but a decent attitude just happens to show his self-confidence."

“······”

"Alright, don't argue about it," said the examiner, who had not spoken, he was obviously the highest-ranking of the three, and as soon as he spoke, Senon and Desa were silent, and the examiner thought for a long time.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, I recorded a paragraph of evaluation on the page of assessment paper for Argo.

"This person's psychological quality is extremely outstanding, he has wisdom beyond his peers, he is good at using appropriate words and actions to hide his heart, he has a very high talent as an alchemist, and he has his own unique opinions on many things."

Putting Ago's information into the file behind him, several examiners moved their stiff limbs, and a friendly smile appeared on their faces again, and said towards the door.

"Next" There were also three crisp knocks on the door, and a teenager pushed the door in.

"Name"

Myron

"Age"

"Sixteen"
