5 a.m

The sky was still slightly bright, and the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of grass after the rain.

Lin Yan dragged some of the remaining copper coins in his pocket and wore the black cloth clothes. Away from the so-called crowd, standing behind an old tree, watching the carriage go away. I want to keep up, but I don't know what to do.

In the end, didn't you say a word of parting?

Lin Yan was a little sad, and after a night of thinking, he made a new decision: he was ready to go out and break through.

The stigmata on his back is his biggest secret now, and it is also his biggest reliance, although he doesn't know how to use it, but at least this stigmata is enough for him to fight against the Nightblade Panther, in other words, to give the Scar Master the same ability, just this alone, he can stand out from the ranks of ordinary people.

The nearest city is known as the "Port of Aisadir" and is one of the three largest port cities in the entire empire. Lin Yan had been there once when he was a child, but even if he had a carriage, it was estimated that it would take a day and a night to reach it at the fastest speed. Fortunately, this road is not easy to get lost due to the caravans passing by every day, and there should not be many monsters on the main road.

And now I feel like the "outing" that my mother once said in the past: under the comfortable sun, slowly walking on a road where no one is seen in front and no end is seen. Occasionally hurry past a few horse-drawn carriages and take in the sea views along the way. When you sit down, although there is no one around, it is not lonely, it can only be said to be lonely.

Time flies, even

"Do you want to take a ride?" Just as Lin Yan was indulging in the sea view, the young man's voice came. A lightly dressed yellow-haired young man stood behind Lin Yan, and behind him there was a small carriage that seemed to be carrying goods.

"I can't afford to sit in the carriage, or I wouldn't have to go. Lin Yan turned his head and smiled kindly.

He shrugged his shoulders: "Please, I'm bored, and I saw that you were about the same age as me to talk to you." You think I'm in it for the money...... Sad and sad. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. When you go out, you can't do without the heart of guarding against people. Lin Yan looked at the young man in front of him for a moment, it didn't seem to be from the original Aresta Town, after thinking for a while, he replied, "My name is ...... Yu Cheng. Get ready to go to the Adventurers' Guild in Port Al Sadir to be an adventurer. ”

"Ah~ adventurer? My name is Shulong, my mother is from the Eastern Continent, although I inherited a little more from my father, but I was affectionate when I saw you. The tree dragon twisted his stiff neck slightly, "Are you going to be an adventurer?" I'm afraid it's a scar, isn't it the same as sending ordinary people to be an adventurer?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "It is indeed a scar. But I didn't listen to the lecture properly, so I ......."

"Don't stand here and talk. Shulong interrupted Lin Yan's words: "Let's get in the car and talk about it." If you keep grinding any longer, you may not be able to reach the rest stop when it gets dark. ”

After that, the tree dragon stepped into the carriage very dexterously. On the other hand, Lin Yan was riding in the carriage for the first time, and when he came up, he was struggling, as if he was afraid that he would fall down. Fortunately, the tree dragon pulled it, otherwise it might have really fallen.

Shulong smiled: "The first time to ride in a carriage?"

"Almost......" Lin Yan felt a little unhappy, but he was indeed poked in pain - it was indeed the first time he had made a carriage.

"I just said that, the scars who don't study hard are right? The tree dragon skillfully twitched the whip, and the carriage slowly continued to move forward. As he steered the direction of the horse's head, he asked, "Can you reveal what form of stigmata you are?"

"Well, it's a special stigmata. ”

"Ouch, don't you want to say anything specifically? I'm an hourglass-type elemental stigma, and I currently belong to the seventh-order scar. ”

"You just keep bragging, will the Seventh-Order Scar Collector come to do the work of transporting goods?" Lin Yan pursed his lips disdainfully, but he didn't show too much dissatisfaction, after all, he was still in someone else's carriage.

Shulong glanced back at Lin Yan: "Yu Cheng, are you challenging me?" Then he took out a badge from the trouser pocket in his hand and threw it to Lin Yan.

Magical runes representing wealth and courage are wrapped around it, and there is also a number 7 in the middle, which is undoubtedly a badge of strength recognized by the Adventurers' Guild. So the person in front of him is really a seventh-order tracer?

"This shipment is one of my tasks...... You don't even have the slightest breath of magic on you. If you really have a stigma, I'm afraid it should be a low-level scar below the third order, and you haven't even condensed the power of stigma. "I've been an adventurer since I was 12 years old, so I can tell you clearly that this path is not easy to follow, especially if you don't even have the power of stigma." ”

Lin Yan put a hand on the shoulder of the tree dragon: "Then tell me, how can you practice the power of stigma?"

"Magic deduction, you don't even know this. The tree dragon sneered: "The stigma on your body should have runes, although the runes on the stigma are indeed important, but if the magic power is enough, the magic of any attribute can be imitated." And as long as you pass your magic through the runes on your stigma, you can practice the corresponding stigmata power. For example~" He raised one of his hands, and a violent thunderbolt energy wrapped around his fingertips, and then he poked Lin Yan with a wicked smile.

Lin Yan didn't react, he only felt a violent feeling of paralysis, and he almost fell off the carriage.

"Thunder and lightning finger, one of the basic spells. Uh, how did I suddenly become a lecturer. If you don't even know how to condense, it is recommended to learn the magic of condensation first. It was very quick to learn, and I would have learned it in three days. ”

"Maybe this is the big guy......" Lin Yan looked at the muttering tree dragon and thought speechlessly.

After some conversation later, Lin Yan initially knew. Mana is the source of magic, and the existence of stigmata is the vehicle for stabilizing mana and circulating it. When each scar is born, they will have their own runes, and the more runes they have, the more convenient it is to condense the rune spell. Just as magic is a building block, magic is the last shape of the building block, and the magic that passes through the runes, that is, the power of stigma, is like an extremely complex building block that can be used to create more complex shapes.

Of course, when asked if you can change your rune structure, the answer is non-existent.

The time to chat with friends always passed quickly, and after the sun had completely set, the carriage stopped in a relatively modest camp. Many caravans are here to organize their belongings, or eat and drink, and make a rest for the next day.

"According to what you said, if you haven't even condensed your magic power, do you want to try it tonight?" Shulong handed Lin Yan a glass of water and asked with encouragement.

"Well...... Just close your eyes and feel the blue light around you...... Should give it a try. Although it was so simple, Lin Yan was still a little uneasy, but seeing the trusting eyes of the tree dragon, he casually leaned on a corner of the carriage, and then carefully felt everything in his mind.

It was still that round stigma, Lin Yan repeatedly concentrated, trying to feel the blue light around him, and when he felt that something was surging up on this round stigma, a huge pain suddenly rushed to Lin Yan's brain.
