In the rolling hills of the southern kingdom of Northwell, a male figure in a linen robe walks through it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The scorching sun in the sky spread the scorching sun over the earth, and the wind with the smell of earth blew slowly, and the young man looked up at the city of Kribi that could already be seen in the distance, and smiled for the first time in a long time.

"It seems that the direction is correct, this is the city of Kribby."

Kribi City, the southern town of the Kingdom of Northwell, is a military fortress set up in 899 in the continental calendar to prevent the Kaos Empire in the middle of the continent from invading the kingdom in the north, and has been standing on this land for a century, until the Kaos Empire was divided due to the battle of the crown prince, and after the San Kaos Empire and the Kingdom of Northwell resumed diplomatic relations, Kribi City also began to slowly transform into a semi-military and semi-commercial large town.

Rolling up the sheepskin map in his hand, the slightly weak-looking young man tightened his waist around five or six leather belts, and walked down the hill with the fire gun he had made with alchemy.

"Gotta get some water, or I'm going to faint from heat stroke before I get to Kribby," the young man muttered as he held out a hand.

A golden circle appeared on the young man's left hand, and the texture of the circle was constantly flashing with electric arcs, and soon, the water vapor in the atmosphere was decomposed by the circle, turning into a cube of liquid water.

Without hesitation, the young man opened his mouth and swallowed two cubes of liquid water into his abdomen.

Different from the magic circle when ordinary mages use spells, the magic circle in the young man's hand did not emit the slightest spell fluctuation, nor did there be any trace of mana.

If this scene were to appear in the eyes of the mages who were studying spells, they would surely burn the young man as a heretic, because it was completely different from the theory of spells they were learning now.

As we all know, as long as it is a spell, then the spell will inevitably use the mana in the body, and as long as the mana is connected with the surrounding things, then the fluctuation of the spell is absolutely inevitable.

Only some legendary or epic archmages can suppress these fluctuations to a minimum, but what should exist will still exist, and it will not be like a young man's circle, which has no fluctuations to speak of.

"If it weren't for the fact that there were too few resources at hand, maybe I could try to use alchemy to create a means of transportation, forget it, there's no point in complaining"

After drinking the water, the young man's complexion was much better, but his health was so bad that he had to climb down even a small steep slope carefully.

"What's that?" The young man, who was descending the steep slope, noticed with his peripheral vision that in the grass below, something metal was reflecting the sunlight.

With his left hand pulling at the gravel on the steep slope, the young man reached out and poked the reflective object with a firecracker.

Smack!

"Trap!?" the young man's gun was gone, no, half of it was ready, and half of it was stuck in the metal clip that I don't know who had placed it under the steep slope.

The young man, who was suddenly frightened, fell to the ground at once, and his face was covered with dirt, and his buttocks hurt terribly.

"Hey, what's going on, there's an ambush?" the young man straightened up as he looked at the fire gun firmly in the metal clip, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

In the middle of the metal clip, the front half of the firebolt had completely cracked, turning into fragments and parts.

Swallowing his saliva, the young man looked around nervously, and after a while, there was no other movement around except for the chirping of insects from time to time.

"Let's use alchemy to repair the fire gun first, without the fire gun, my combat power should be equal to... Zero, right?" the young man would never admit that his combat effectiveness might still be negative...

Half-bent over, the young man leaned over to the metal clip, looked left and right one last time, and after making sure there was no danger, he stretched out his right hand to the metal clip.

"Transfiguration!"

It was the same circle with a golden arc of electricity flowing without the slightest fluctuation of spells, and this time the circle appeared on the young man's right hand, and then the young man pressed his right hand against the metal clip.

A strange scene appeared, the metal trap clamp was controlled by the golden circle in the young man's right hand, and the pair of iron blades that were bitten together actually began to gradually distort.

With only a slight force, the young man easily broke open the metal clip, which had lost its hardness, and removed the upper half of the remains of the firecracker stuck inside.

"Haha, Sister Noxi, I won, I have prey on my clip!"

Well?

Hearing the voice, the young man subconsciously turned his head.

Then he saw a bronzed boy with a homemade spear rushing towards him.

"How is it a person?!" The young man who flew down the steep slope saw the young man standing in front of the metal clip with a frightened face, and he was immediately blinded.

However, the boy could no longer control the spear in his hand at this time, and smashed the awone stone that was tied to the front end of the rope to act as the spearhead towards the young man's head.

"Dismantle!" Seeing this, the young man, who had no choice but to raise his right hand to block the spear.

The magic circle with a flickering yellow arc collided with the homemade spear in the boy's hand, and then in the boy's incredulous eyes, the spear disappeared in an instant.

"What kind of spell is this?" Seeing that his hands were empty, the young man was stunned.

The young man who had been evading the pursuit did not wait for the boy to react, turned around and picked up the remains of the fire gun on the ground and was about to flee, but the reality was always cruel, and the young man with poor physical strength had already thrown him to the ground before he could run two steps.

"Let go of me!" the young man's body writhed as he struggled to get up, but what made him angry was that his little strength was no match for the teenager.

"Be honest!" the boy wrenched the young man's hands and pressed them to the ground, making it difficult for him to move.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to run away, you're light," the young man threw all his bearing as an alchemist into the stinking ditch, screaming and pleading.

If it weren't for his inability to decompose the creatures, the young man would have wanted to dismantle the reckless boy now—well, he said, if he had to, he would have coaxed himself.

"Verus, what's wrong?" came an ethereal female voice on the steep slope beside him, but now that the young man's head was buried in the ground and eating mud, he naturally couldn't see who was speaking.

"Sister Noxi, I caught a guy of unknown origin, and he seems to be able to spell, and the spear I made myself has been lost for him," the boy looked up and responded.

"Spell?" Standing on the steep slope, the silver-haired girl looked slightly surprised with her big scarlet eyes.

How could a mage be here?, the young girl in knight's light armor, put her hand on the saber at her waist, and she asked the young man, "Who are you?"

"It's me, Levi, Levi Dorian, eh! don't push, hand, my hand is going to break" The young man, or rather, Levi was in tears of pain.

Ignoring the screaming Levi, the young Verus ripped off the hat from his linen robe, revealing Levi's face in front of the two of them.

She has pale blonde hair, red eyes that resemble Nuoxi's own, and her facial features are quite upright, and she is about the same age as she is in her early twenties.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Noshi as he stood up the steep slope and stood in front of Levi again.

Noshi's action also allowed Levi to see her face clearly, Noshi was indeed beautiful, with silver hair tucked back on the left side of her face, strands on the right side hanging down, full circumference, slender waist, and white complexion.

However, he hated those women very much, because they only came to Rivi with one purpose, that is, to let him stay in the Kaos Empire and become a puppet of the Emperor.

And why Levi is so valuable to an empire is because he is the only remaining alchemist in the Kaos Empire, no, it should be said that he is the only remaining alchemist on the entire continent.

Not a mage, but an alchemist, the alchemy circle dedicated to alchemy can only be used by Rivi, for example, whether it is Levi can decompose liquid water from the atmosphere, or make the spear in Verus's hand disappear, these are the reasons why he uses the "decomposition" in alchemy.

"Wait, you're not from the Empire?" As soon as the words came out, Levi regretted it, which was completely certain, but it was he who asked this and put himself in a dilemma.

"So you're from the Kaos Empire, you say you're from the San Kaos Empire, but you're still our rival to Northwell, Sister Noshi, what about this guy?"

As soon as he heard Levi's words, Willowton laughed, and no longer pressed him, and as soon as his right hand was forced, he pulled Levi up, just twisting his hands back.

"It's over, it's really going to be here this time," Revy sighed secretly.

Once it is confirmed that Rivi is a member of the Kaos Empire, and he has also been arrested by the people of the rival kingdom of Northwell, then there are only two ends for him:

Hanging in public or extradition back to the Kaos Empire in exchange for benefits is not what Levi wants, with the former costing him his life and the latter costing him his freedom.

Since the high-level leaders of the Kaos Empire discovered that Rivi is an alchemist, they have only one plan, that is, to let him win the war for the Kaos Empire and recover the San Caios Empire, which was split off by the second prince.

However, no matter how generous the conditions offered by the Kaos Empire, Rivi firmly refused, because no one knew his research better than him, and if these studies were to be thrown into war, there would be many, many deaths, and Livi could not bear it.

Livi had always been just a scholar, he wasn't an executioner, and he wasn't a butcher, so he hated killing.

He was an orphan, so he could understand how helpless and desperate a child who had lost his parents could be, so that day he escaped from the Kaos Empire with the "library" and came to the Kingdom of Northwell.

However, it's too late to say anything now, Rivi can't decide his fate anymore, and it is this girl who has only one side to him who can decide his fate.

As long as the girl is willing to let him go here, then he still has a glimmer of hope.
