In the southern part of Kanenokuni, there is an Amway village with a population of 31 households. The village always comes late at night, and half of the long shadows of the trees fall on the Amway River, which surrounds half the village. The river is wide, but shallow, with a maximum depth of no more than a meter. There was a little girl about 7 or 8 years old sitting by the river. She has large green eyes and waist-length blond hair, but the cause of chronic malnutrition is a little thin. She often came to the river alone, swam and looked at the small fish in the water in a daze. In her memory, she had never seen her parents, and it was always the village chief who took care of her and her grandmother, who was a poor old man who was deaf and blind.

The little girl sighed softly, glanced at the sun in the sky, and calculated in her heart that it would be getting darker and darker in about half an hour. She jumped up from the ground lightly and ran towards Amway Village, and when she passed the Amway River, her feet were not wet because her feet were on the water. This ability is a kind of magic, which she used when she saw the village chief's grandson Daimeng come home to visit her relatives last summer, and she secretly observed it for a few days, practiced for two months, and gradually learned it, and now she is becoming more and more proficient in using it.

Almost everyone in this world can do magic, but there are not many professional magicians in this world. It is said that everyone's magic fit is different, and magic fit is innate and cannot be changed. People with a magic fit of less than 3 can generally only sense some of the elements, and when they are called, they will feel familiar. People above 3 can not only sense more elements, but also control them to react according to their minds, and have a chance to become a great magician.

A thatched hut on the west side of Amway Village is her home, and from a distance, she can see a kind old woman sitting at the door.

"Grandma!" the girl cried.

The old lady at the door moved slightly, and she smiled into the distance as if she had heard the girl's cry.

"Ling'er...... My kids ......"

Ling'er helped her grandmother into the house, the room was very small, there was only a curtain between the outer hall and the bedroom, and the stove was in a corner of the house. Ling'er rubbed her hands together and began to cook. The fire was burning quickly, and the whole room was warmed up, and the grandmother walked over to the other side of the wall and lit the only small candle in the house. Ling'er knew that her grandmother couldn't see, so her grandmother lit this candle for herself. But Ling'er didn't know that this seemingly small candle that couldn't help but burn had been used for a long time, and for as long as Ling'er could remember, her grandmother began to use it to drive away the darkness of the night for herself. Maybe Grandma used to be a powerful magician.

Ling'er thought as her hand moved quickly. Thin slices of meat fall into the water, and if you look closely at these slices of meat, their thickness is unexpectedly the same.

"Knock knock..."

"Little Ling'er, are you there?" was the voice of the village elder's grandfather, Ling'er glanced at the grandmother sitting on the stool, put down the small wooden knife in her hand and went to open the door.

"Hello, village chief grandpa, is there something wrong?" Ling'er asked politely.

The old village chief touched Ling'er's head and said with a smile: "Little Ling'er, you are almost 8 years old." ”

Ling'er nodded and looked at the old village chief suspiciously. Seeing that Ling'er didn't speak, the old village chief continued, "Tomorrow, there will be an intern archmage from the Royal Academy of Magic in the Land of Water to conduct magic enlightenment for the children of our village, do you want to go?"

Ling'er asked, "What is Magical Enlightenment?"

The old village chief patiently explained: "Magic Initiation is a program to test everyone's innate magic fit value, and if your magic fit is greater than 3, they will test your elemental attributes and recommend you to go to a junior magic academy to learn how to use magic. My grandson Daemon and Abu of the little Ai family are still studying at the Persian Junior Academy of Magic, two hundred miles away, and if you can study there, you can come to them if you have any difficulties. ”

Ling'er said happily: "Thank you, village chief, grandpa." ”

The old village chief smiled even more and said, "Our lovely little Ling'er must be very talented. Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. Go talk to your grandma, she'll be happy. ”

"Well, goodbye, village chief grandpa. ”

The old village chief pushed the door and went out, because his back was to Ling'er, Ling'er didn't see the smile on the old village chief's face gone, replaced by a flash of faint sadness. He took out a blue crystal ball from his pocket, and his eyes became even more glazed. The old village chief gently stroked the crystal ball, and some blurred light and shadow seemed to appear inside the crystal ball.

With a sigh, the old village chief put the crystal ball back in his pocket and slowly disappeared into the night.
