As I lay on the bed, I looked at Mother Vess, who was crying as she drugged her own colorful little ass. When I looked at my mother, Anna, with the eyes of a bear child, and Grandma Emma, who was pretending to be angry but staring at the wound with concern, I realized that there was a rather serious problem.

At the same time, I also understood the reason why the previous traversers were often destroyed. Quite simply, because I can't turn my mind around, the reason for this situation is that I use the adult mind to pursue the results I want, but I try to pursue the adult results while still trying to use my strengths as a child.

As a result, Anna's mother treated me as an adult, discussed problems with me and suggested solutions. Weiss's mother treated me like a child, just to vent her feelings. And Grandma Emma... I guess I accidentally stepped on a landmine, and as far as the results are concerned, none of the goals I wanted were achieved. If I were a five-year-old child who was attacked by the tears of Weiss's mother when she said that she wanted to learn magic, I would probably think that it was not good to learn magic and give up. And if you handle things with an adult mind, you will probably accept Anna's mother's words, and while realizing that you can only learn magic at the age of ten, you realize that the possibility of learning magic in this family is not high, and you will either give up or seek a new solution.

To put it simply, I took it for granted that I didn't fit into the world or understand the family. I am still the same as in my previous life, before doing things, I just blindly expect the other party to forgive me, thinking that I can take advantage of my advantages as a child, but I just want to be spoiled with my family.

While thinking about the mess, this body couldn't hold it anymore, and as the sleepiness hit, he closed his eyes. When I opened my eyes again, it was dusk, and Anna's mother was the only one in the room, looking at an ancient book in the setting light. Noticing that she had woken up, Anna's mother closed the pages and went to her bedside.

Anna's mother touched my head, a little embarrassed, but the tenderness and care from her fingers still made me squint comfortably.

"There is no age limit to the perception of magical elements, and the best known method is still the meditation method in the foundation of magic. If it can be paired with a magic crystal, people can feel the subtle movement of the elements with the help of the crystal, so that they can understand how to use and transform. However, the accepted minimum age for the accumulation of mana is 10 years old, when the human body has roughly developed into a rudimentary form, forming a cycle of self-accumulation, and accumulating mana at this time is not harmful to the body. You must know that a leaky leather bag will not only fail to hold water, but may also make the hole bigger and bigger. Promise me, I know your determination to learn magic, and I am willing to help you perceive magic and lay a good foundation, but I don't want you to ruin your future because of your child's playfulness, promise me, okay?" said Anna's mother, looking me in the eye earnestly.

I looked at Anna's mother's beautiful black eyes and felt a little ashamed. Or, in this case, Anna's mother has always treated me as an adult, but she is the only one who treats herself as a child. Anna's mother is willing to believe in herself, and still make a pact with herself, despite the fact that she has broken her promise in front of her, what a deep trust and unconditional protection. Or, this is the love that belongs to relatives! For a child who was not born to herself, she was still willing to give noble and selfless love, and Anna's mother's figure became taller and taller in the light of the setting sun.

At the same time, I felt the absolute trust in myself who broke the agreement at will, and I was ashamed of myself.

I twisted my small body, endured the tingling pain I felt behind my hips, and forced myself to sit up.

Anna's mother seemed to feel what she wanted to do, and instead of stopping it, she sat straight and looked at herself earnestly.

"Mother Anna, I have made a pact with you, I will never betray your trust, and I will not let you down. I looked into Anna's mother's eyes earnestly and said, maybe this is the only serious appointment I have ever made in my life, including in my previous life.

Mother Anna looked me in the eye earnestly, nodded, and smiled reassuringly.

Then Anna's mother stood up suddenly, motioned for herself to be quiet, and walked to the door, and then slammed the door open.

I saw the embarrassed Mother Vess and Grandma Emma standing outside the door.

"Mother, you also heard what I just said to Alan, shouldn't you give a response to such a serious promise?" said Anna's mother calmly.

Grandma Emma's eyes were a little evasive at first, but under the gaze of Anna's mother, Grandma sighed.

Grandma Emma walked over to the bed, pressed me back into bed, made me lie on my stomach and carefully pulled the sheets.

"Son, do you know how many people have died since the outbreak of the First Doomsday War?" Grandma Emma looked at herself, a little sad in her eyes.

"Millions?" I said, after a moment's thought.

"No, I can't say that there are only that, but the death toll is probably less than 100,000. Grandma Emma said.

This number really shocked me a little, although the mainland is vast and sparsely populated, but there must be more than 10 million people, and the population of 100,000 is not even enough for ordinary big cities. For the collision of two completely different cultural countries, it is really a bit rare. It is necessary to know that at that time, the British landed in North America and almost wiped out the family, and the collision of different cultures was often not to compromise with each other, but to overwhelm each other and devour each other.

"Of course, there are a lot of factors, such as the fact that the border between the two sides is too small to allow the large armies to collide. On the side of the main god sect, all the following popes are dispatched as rear medical treatment. In terms of combat, there is not much difference in high-end combat power, we are afraid of the opponent's SS-class mecha, and the other party is also afraid of our Round Table Council and Legendary Wizard Council. The fighting between the two sides was also generally restrained, mostly tempting, so there were no incidents of troops invading each other's territory, and after three years of war, we signed a peace agreement with the other side on behalf of the Pope, the Speaker, and the Knight of the Round Table. Thanks to the small number of deaths and the absence of deep hatred, the two sides have so far managed to maintain peace on a tight line. Grandma Emma closed her eyes, and a tear oozed from the corner of her eye, probably thinking of Daddy Andre again.

Small frictions turn into small wars, local conflicts become all soldiers, and eighty percent of the world's wars are probably started in this way. And war brings death, death brings hatred, hatred brings war, and this is probably how the Hundred Years War between Britain and France came about, and at that point it is probably endless, and even with the strike power of the world's top powerhouses that is not much worse than nuclear weapons, or the defeated country begins to retaliate for massacres, then more people will die.

But... SS-class mecha, I'm keenly aware of the words I'm interested in. But after all, the two sides have not been peaceful for a long time, strictly speaking, they are still enemy countries, what way can they see the so-called mecha, I don't know if it is a mecha as high as a high-rise building, and the kind that will explode from time to time if you have to plug in the wire. It can be big or small, it looks like a face, and it must be equipped with a drill bit that can break through the sky.

As I thought about it, Grandma Emma seemed to finally control her emotions and continued.

"Because there was no siege of the city and land, and because of this, the number of dead and wounded of these 100,000 people were all above the third order, or to put it more extremely, the death toll was above the third order, and the death toll below the seventh order accounted for ninety percent of the total deaths. Behind them, the civilians, who were far weaker than them, had no deaths. Grandma said excitedly.

"Mother—" Mother Vess took Grandma Emma's thin hand and patted her to soothe her.

"I'm supposed to let you hold him... He shouldn't have been allowed to go... How could a third-order knight come in handy in such a big battle... How could he come back alive? Grandma said and hugged Mother Vess, but Mother Vess couldn't control her emotions, and the two women hugged each other and cried bitterly.

I was about to say something, but Mother Anna shook her head at me, as if trying to get them to vent their emotions.

I probably also understand why Grandma Emma is so excited about me learning magic, probably because of the concept that if you don't become a soldier in war, you won't die, and in this culture, civilians can achieve far less combat power than knights and mages, so it can be said that as long as the front line is not breached, the rear can remain stable.

However, even if we don't mention the basic concept of defending the country, if the defense line is really breached, I am sure that the civilians will be the first to die. And the high-level nobles and top-level combat power will definitely be fine except for a few die-hards, and they will even live better. This is the concept of the strong and the strong, the president has a nuclear bomb in his hand, and he can mix in a high position anywhere. In the so-called war, it is always the low-level soldiers and civilians who die, and now it is only because it is the early stage of the war that it is the soldiers who die.

After a while, when everyone's emotions had calmed down, Grandma Emma looked into my eyes and asked.

"I know you're a smart kid, and it's not impossible for you to become a third-order magician or higher. However, the more power a person has, the more he tends to have to carry, you tell me now. Do you want to be a commoner and live a carefree life, or do you have the power but go on a tortuous life? 」

The answer to this question can be decided a long time ago... If you want to talk about comfort, even the son of a legendary magician is not as comfortable as one toe of my previous life, as long as I do the minimum things, I can make this body get the minimum satisfaction, and there will be no catastrophe in life, but I will not be promoted and raised, and I will be promoted to CEO to marry Bai Fumei and go to the peak of life. In my previous life, I lived on an average line in general. It's not easy to escape from such a life, so it's not obvious how to decide now.

"Grandma. I barely turned to the side, took Grandma's thin but warm hand, and stared into Grandma Emma's eyes.

"I'm actually very scared of death. When the three women heard this, they looked at each other, and it stands to reason that they should not have come to a passionate speech to convince them of the fact that they were afraid of death.

"I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of you dying, and if I can, I hope that our family, including the people in the town, can live and work in peace and contentment. I looked at my grandmother sincerely, looked at my two mothers and said.

"But it's impossible, another world has crashed into it, and no one is immune. 」

Grandma seemed to stop talking, but I stopped her with a gesture.

"This town can't be safe forever, and there will come a time when we don't expect guests to come uninvited, and powerful enemies won't always ignore our presence. Yes, great power brings great responsibility, but it does not mean that you can be alone without power, and those who do not have power just give the choice to others. And in a world of imminent chaos, giving the choice to someone else is like handing a butcher's knife to a butcher. Therefore, I want to have power, so that I can protect you, and if you want to live a peaceful life, the first thing you want is not to hide in a cave, but to have power. 」

"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a round of applause, and I looked to see where the applause came from.

"It's rare for a child like you to see so clearly. A black-robed figure stepped out of the shadows.

I remember that the first time I had a sense of crisis in my life was when there was a drug-addicted madman living next door to my house, and when I went back from overtime at night, I happened to be blocked by this madman. The madman had a sharpened watermelon knife in his hand, his body emitting an unusual stench, and he looked at himself while panting. At that time, he slowly took out his purse, then took out all the money and put it on the ground, and then slowly retreated into his building. From beginning to end, the madman just looked at himself and didn't make drastic movements. However, the sense of tremor and crisis I felt at that time, for the first time in my life, I was really afraid of a person, and I felt that this person could easily erase myself. Of course, the black-robed man in front of him did not hold a weapon, and his eyes did not look like a madman, but this does not mean that he will not kill himself, the man in front of him has the ability to kill himself, and he also feels that he has the will to kill himself.

"What a clever boy, not at all like a five-year-old boy, if I hadn't heard this on the spot, I would have thought it was a veteran knight who said it. As he said this, the black-robed man walked over slowly, reaching out his hand as if to touch me.

In the face of this abnormal situation, everyone present had no way to react, as if they were intimidated by an invisible hand, and everyone couldn't even move a finger.

A drop of cold sweat ran down my forehead. Is it a legendary powerhouse, or is it a powerhouse above the seventh order? This kind of power is not something that humans can possess at all. Is this the kind of power I'm pursuing? I can't help but despair a little when I think about it, is this kind of unreasonable power something that can be obtained by a weak self?

"Stop, Black Ten. Just as his hand was about to touch me, a female voice stopped him.

As if he had expected it, the black-robed man withdrew his hand. I was surprised to see that the person who spoke was actually Mother Anna, who had always been calm and wise. Anna's mother looked at her apologetically, as if she was worried that the black-robed man's actions had frightened her.

"Let me ask you who is speaking? If it is the eldest lady, then I should naturally obey the orders of the lord, but if it is the wife of Baron Andrei, then there is no need for me to obey your orders. The black-robed man looked at Anna's mother calmly and said.

Miss?

"Presumptuous!" Anna's mother said loudly, this is the first time I have heard Anna's mother speak loudly, and I have the impression that she has always been an elegant woman who walks with thin steps and speaks quietly, and it can be said that she is out of shape to speak so loudly.

"It's rude. Surprisingly, the black-robed man actually bowed down to express his apology. expressed his apologies to this woman who was far weaker than himself.

"It's not your turn to intervene in the affairs between me and my father, and now you can go back from where you came from. Mother Anna resolutely stood in front of us and said to the black-robed man.

"That's not good, if I don't find it, now that I'm here today, there are some things that must be resolved. What I hope is that you will leave a decent place for the family and not let me behave rudely towards you. The black-robed man's tone did not fluctuate at all, relatively speaking, this matter did not have any room for change.

My mind was racing fast, and many unreasonable things were answered by today's scene. Why Anna's mother was a second-order magician, no one in the whole town knew about it before her father's death, why a woman who lived in a secluded place was able to use magic accurately and ruthlessly to kill enemies, and why a woman who was supposed to be ordinary was able to skillfully manage a town, so that the town could be overspent without an owner. In the same way, the wisdom and calmness that Anna's mother often showed at that time should not have appeared in such a woman at all, in fact, when compared with Rose's mother, it is obvious that Anna's mother came from a large and cultured family, and the energy of a family that can casually raise a woman into a second-order magician is obviously extraordinary. Or if you think about it, is Anna's mother really only second-order...?

However, before I could come up with any solution, Anna's mother had already gone over to the black-robed man. I grabbed Anna's mother's sleeve in fear. All eyes were on me.

Anna's mother glared at the black-robed man warningly, and the black-robed man bowed his shoulder. Anna's mother gently stroked her hair, then pulled herself into her arms. It is the familiar scent of lilacs and the warm embrace... A hug that I am destined to lose...

A wave of anger and powerlessness burned my heart like the rocks of hell, and I kept trying to pull out of the corners of my eyes, but I held back, I was afraid that if this tear fell, there was nothing I could do to undo it.

Mother Anna looked at me and Grandma Vita and smiled apologetically.

"Let's go to the next study, I'm going to leave something for my son. Anna's mother said, and without waiting for a response, she walked straight into the study next door.

The black-robed man glanced at me and reluctantly followed.

After a few minutes, the black-robed man walked out and handed me an envelope with a black hedron and a small flag with a silver and white eagle on it.

"After you are fourteen years old, take this envelope to the capital Elemental City, with this letter of recommendation, you can directly enter the Elemental Noble Magic Academy to study, and this dark crystal is a magic crystal, which can help you feel the magic element. You have to ask the workers to copy this little flag and plant it on the top of your castle, and from then on your territory will no longer be disturbed by people who are not long-sighted. The black-robed man looked at himself playfully and then said.

I calmly took over these things, and then looked at the black-robed man steadily.

"That's it, this is the thing that your mother's man is going to rob you of. The black-robed man said disappointedly, probably expecting him to smash things back to him in a fit of rage.

"You didn't give it to me, it was my Anna mother who gave it to me. You've given me something else, and I'm going to give it back to you in its original form. I said coldly as I looked into the black-robed man's eyes.

"Oh, what did I give you?" the black-robed man wondered, he didn't give me anything for this kid.

"The sense of shame and powerlessness you have brought me, one day, I will return it to you with all my interest. I said, without a fiery tone, no angry accusations, just plain words, as if to tell a fact that could no longer be taken for granted.

However, the black-robed man felt a little sorrowful, and this small point in front of him actually made him feel a little threatened at that moment. The black-robed man habitually raised his hands to wipe out the threat.

"Let's go. Anna's mother came out of the study, took one last look at us, and then walked out resolutely.

The black-robed man lowered his hand, pulled down his hood, and seemed ashamed that he had been frightened by a bean-sized child, and walked out with Anna's mother.

I knew that was Anna's mother's last protection for me.

Then, the air suddenly began to flow, and Waisi Mother and Grandma Ama, who seemed to have just recovered from the frozen time, began to check if I had any injuries.

I looked out the window at the huge eagle that was flying, and although I couldn't see it, I could feel Anna's mother watching me from above.

"I'll must, I'll get you back. I swore to myself. Everything is because you don't have the power, if you have the power, if you have the power to stop all this...
