In the early morning morning, the sun shone on the land, covering some of the westernmost corners of the continent.

This is a long and narrow canyon by the sea, and if you look down from the sky, you can see the lush greenery of the canyon and the rivers shuttling through it, but the most striking thing is the city in the canyon.

In this not too big canyon, there is a large city almost every dozen miles, and there are actually five or six cities in the entire valley at a glance! If you look closely, you can't see anything.

At some point, a thick white mist drifted above the canyon, obscuring the view and making it impossible to see the scene below. But the fog seemed to obscure the view, and the sun shone unobstructed every inch of the valley.

The city on the easternmost side of the canyon is the largest in area, but the most sparse in density - other cities look like a sophisticated dashboard from the sky, especially the westernmost city, while the easternmost one is not so sophisticated.

However, there is one thing that is still the same as other cities in the valley, and that is the huge wall that is forty or fifty meters high.

Now at the eastern gate of the easternmost city, the flow of people in and out is dense, and Gaunt is mixed in with the crowd.

Gaunt is a two-star red-robed mage, an Augustan clan, who came here on purpose because he was tired of the long war that showed no signs of stopping for several years in a row - it was also because he heard a blue-robed mage talking with a friend by chance, and he knew that there was such a paradise on the mainland.

I hope this place really doesn't have to be disturbed by war.

With this in mind, Gaunt passed through the gates in a mixed crowd.

Passing through the city gate does not mean that you can enter the city, behind the doorway, there is also a special office, three guys in uniform sit in the back, but the races are different, humans, orcs, barbarians, respectively.

Everyone who enters the city has to go through the office and be questioned before they can enter the city.

After all, Gaunt was from Augustus, and he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden emergence of so many aliens here, so he chose the human queue to line up, and soon it was his turn.

"Do you have identification? No? Then register the information, name ?......."

Gaunt had also heard some of these processes at the time, and knew about them, so he didn't reject them, and directly reported his information one by one, especially the item of "two-star red-robed mage", he said it loudly - I heard that new residents are very welcome to join here, and they will arrange jobs for new residents very considerately.

In Gaunt's opinion, those untouchables who fled were of course assigned jobs to them, but they were two-star red-robed mages, and these people were not immediately shocked when they heard it, and then treated themselves respectfully, and finally waited for them in the courtyard of the mansion?

But to Gang's surprise, everyone behind the table, including the human who was doing something for him, did not react at all after hearing the "two-star red robe".

"Alright, here's your temporary identification. ”

The human quickly took care of all the formalities, looked up, and handed Gaunt a thin rough slate, "Put it away, don't lose it." ”

Then the human said, "Someone from the Food Supply Service just left yesterday, so you can report today, and you will work there in the future." As he spoke, he handed a thin booklet, "This is where you are allocated, and the address of the food supply office, whether you go to your residence first or report first." However, it's best to re-evaluate your mage level first, as the temporary ID only has a limited three-day certification period. In addition, as a mage, you should not use spells at will in the city, let alone use spells on others for no reason. ”

With that, the human pulled another sheet from the thick stack of papers on the table and handed it to Gaunt.

"Finally, you are a mage, and you should know a little bit of the ancient language, so you should memorize this thing as soon as possible."

Then he urged Gaunt to leave.

Gaunt took the things in a daze, and suddenly his eyebrows furrowed.

Insolence!

You, a little city official, don't take yourself a real mage seriously!

Gaunt, who was accustomed to being pampered outside, was respected everywhere, even the nobles were polite to him, where could he stand such an insult from the little city officials?

So he was going to punish this guy slightly, and as for this guy's prohibition of using spells at will, he didn't take it to heart at all - did he still have to listen to these soldiers as a red-robed mage? What's more, the fact that the other party was not allowed to use spells at will already showed that these people were afraid of spells.

But before Gaunt could make a move, the man in front of him had already done so.

It turned out to be a mage, and just like Gaunt, he also seemed to be angry at the arrogant attitude of these untouchables, and directly a spell was sent out in an instant, and a cloud of electric light appeared on the tips of his fingers, and he was about to get out of his hand and give a small punishment to the tiger man in front of the man. As a result, it was only a blink of an eye, and a human being with patterns standing around the platform had already jumped in front of him, stretched out his right hand directly, held the electric light on the tips of the mage's fingers, and also held the mage's fist in his hand, with a click, the mage screamed, and then looked at the strange shape of his wrist, it seemed that it was directly dislocated!

Of course, it's not terrible to dislocate, but what is terrible is that that instantaneous spell was directly extinguished in such a simple and crude way!

"Smack!"

Before Gaunt could react, the soldier slapped him twice, and then before the alien mage of the instant spell could cry out in pain, he was knocked unconscious.

"Smack!"

The soldier slapped the mage twice again, and after reawakening the mage from his stupor, he said to him: "Now that you are charged with using malicious spells on others without permission and assaulting civil servants, you had better think about how to justify yourself and be mentally ready to accept the punishment and take it away." ”

After the soldier finished speaking, two other soldiers came over next to him, put the hands of the spell behind his back, and pulled them away.

"Look, that's an example. ”

The human who handled Gaunt's business said at the right time, "Remember, don't use spells on others. With that, he completely pushed Gaunt away.

Gaunt was also frightened by this scene just now, and did not act like a demon again, and walked away a little confused, and after walking on the street for a while, he finally came back to his senses.

Then he discovers that the scene around him is something he has never seen before.

He saw that the streets under his feet were smooth stone pavement, and the buildings on the side of the streets were all solid rock houses, all of which looked like the castles of small nobles!

The streets were wide, and all sorts of races walked on them, majestic and burly savages, hideous orcs, slender elves, stout dwarves, and, of course, humans like him. These people seem to have become accustomed to the scene of mixed races, and there is no strangeness in seeing people of different races, and some of them know each other, and they will greet them warmly and chat when they meet.

On the streets, on the surrounding streets, there were wide banners hanging everywhere, on which were written huge ancient words, many of which even the serious red-robed mage Gaunt could not understand.

There are many storefronts lining the streets, but unlike most of the bakeries and taverns in other cities, most of the shops here are strange and varied: those that specialize in production magic items in both lingua franca and archaic, those that specialize in combat magic items in both lingual, those that sell magic crystals in both languages, and the hypermarkets that sell a wide range of magic items in both languages......

The most populous shops here are selling magical items! In the rest of the continent, this kind of land is the rarest, and smaller towns don't even have one at all.

In addition, there are also many magic-related spin-off shops, such as potions shops. Along the way, you can also see some quirky shops, such as employment agencies.

Correspondingly, the most common bakery in other cities is not seen on this street, there are taverns, blacksmith shops, etc., but there are not many of them, but the scale is very large, it looks like a small castle, there are huge wine barrels at the door, hanging bright signs, and even a sexy poster with a bewitching elf girl feeling a wine glass and being wet with wine is engraved on the exterior wall, which makes people want to go in and have a drink.

The sky in this city is not quite the same as in other cities.

The sky of other cities is clean and bright, but after a while, the sky of this city will see a mage in uniform flying slowly on it, and every time the person is the same, he seems to be idle and hurt, and he has nothing to fly back and forth in the sky.

There is another thing on the street that is different from other cities, that is, it is clean.

The city is exceptionally clean, and you don't see a single feces or urine stain on the road!

This is the deepest feeling that Gaunt has felt all the way.

He'd been to several cities, and in those cities there was no excrement and urine stains on the streets, not to mention garbage, but he hadn't seen a single beggar all the way down here, which was simply incredible—second only to feces and urine stains in any other city, but he still hadn't seen them here.

The city, Forforsburg, was so peculiar that it relieved Gaunt's bad mood for the soldiers.

At that time, he thought that the soldiers in this city were too terrible, should he leave quickly, and now it seems that he might try to stay for a while.

So he followed the soldier's instructions and went to several places to report, and was given a place to live—the mage Gaunt did not feel grateful for the special treatment given to their mages in the opinion of the mage—and began his tentative life at Forforsburg.

And after three days of tentative living, Gaunt's mind changed completely.

He never wanted to leave the city again, it was a paradise!

Being able to be well fed and have a place to live without having to work is not attractive to Gaunt. As a mage, this seemed to him to be the most normal treatment, and it was the other aspects of the city that gave him a strong sense of dependence and identification with the city.

In this city, he can receive free lessons about mages!

There is a free teaching institution here, which is open to all people, as long as they want to learn, they can learn mage knowledge! And these mage knowledge areas span a large range, from the most basic to the high-level, anyway, for the red-robed mage Gaunt...... Oh no, it's a level 6 mage, and this is the place to meet his learning needs.

In addition, the unheard of magic web system in the city is one of the main reasons why Gaunt decided to stay here.

This magic net system has opened a terminal in Gaunt's residence, and on weekdays, Gaunt only needs to sit on the terminal and meditate and practice normally, and he can get a certain amount of points in the magic net center according to his cultivation contributions. These points can be used for many purposes, but the simplest one is to get mana from the center of the magic net when you need it. The amount of magic power that can be obtained by paying points is basically equal, and in the process of acquiring magic power, his sea of magic power can also be cultivated and expanded! This means that as long as this magic net system is used reasonably, Gaunt's cultivation progress can be almost doubled!

For a mage, the increase in strength is the most attractive to them.

With the follow-up study of spell knowledge and the ability to double his cultivation progress, how could Gaunt not want to stay here for a long time?

Originally, he just wanted to take refuge, but he didn't expect that there would be such a huge windfall, which really made him happy and didn't know what to do. As for the arrogance of the soldiers whom he had been unhappy with before......

Only now did he know that he was the one who was truly arrogant and rude, because those soldiers who looked ordinary were all stronger than him, a "noble" red-robed mage!

The law of the jungle eats the strong, and they look down on themselves as a level 6 mage, which is also normal. What's more, their attitude is just to treat it normally, and it is not to look down on it, which makes Gaunt even more acceptable.

All of this was so satisfying to Gaunt that he couldn't wait to re-complete the mage strength assessment, and then live in peace in the city according to their assigned work.

But that was just the beginning, and a month later, Gaunt found himself completely inseparable from Forfors.

In addition to the great convenience of the city for the practice of magic, the novelty and convenience of all aspects of daily life are also not found in the rest of the continent, and Gaunt has been completely transformed into an orthodox Forforth by Forforsburg.

He used the magic net terminal to cultivate every day, and after work, he would go to the "Red Rose" tavern to have two drinks and watch the elf dancers dance, and he spent more than half a month saving his savings and tattooed a set of "blockade domains" on his body He went to buy some mad cow potions, and now he feels that his body is great, and he is no longer a weak mage who is powerless; he will write to the House of Commons of their district to complain about any bad things in his daily life, some of which can be rectified quickly to his satisfaction, and some of them are slow to respond, so that he and his new friends can complain about it frantically while drinking; he has memorized the quotations of the old fairy, but he has not had the opportunity to use them for a long time, he can also read more and more banners on the street, and he has even begun to mix a few ancient words in his daily conversations like a real Forforsian, which is popular in Forforsburg......

Gaunt had become a true Folforsburg man and felt that he had made the right decision to come to Forforsburg!

He felt that he would stay in Forforsburg for the rest of his life, and maybe he would travel to those cities in the Valley of Thorns, and I heard that Hiham was more prosperous than Forforsburg, but that was not his root after all, Forforsburg was his root!

He may or may not be a level 17 mage in his lifetime - that is equivalent to a white-robed mage, but he will definitely marry a wife, and the elf girl Abigail in the food supply will be fine, maybe the two will give birth to a half-race baby, and he will probably make up for Gaunt's visible regrets and become a powerful mage above level 24!

From the idea, it can be seen that Gaunt has been completely blessed.

Life in Forforsburg even made him forget that the continent outside was going through war, but he realized it that night.

That night, as was customary, Gaunt came out of the Red Rose Tavern—the real fox friends, the fox orcs and the dog heads—and before they had even parted at the junction, they heard a loud high-pitched noise over Forforsburg.

Gaunt's wine woke up at once, and after looking at his fox friends and dogs, he subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw a large number of mages flying in the sky, flying towards the east.

War seems to have begun to befall this paradise.
