The harsh winter is coming, and the ice is thousands of miles.

The temperature throughout the continent was much cooler than usual, and the bitter cold wind blew violently like ice knives, and snowflakes flew all over the sky.

The city of Deklia was particularly deserted under heavy snowfall, and there were not many people on the streets except for the merchants who came and went from north to south to buy and sell, except for one place.

Oliver Hill.

The villa is named after the owner, and the owner of the villa is quite detached in the status of the Leighton Kingdom, although he is only an earl, but even the king of the Leighton Kingdom, Locke III, treats the owner of the villa with courtesy.

Today marks the 100th birthday of the owner of the lodge, Earl Oliver.

One hundred years old, compared to ordinary people, is enough to be named a long-lived person, but for a great, mysterious, and noble 'wizard master', it can only be regarded as middle-aged.

Count Oliver is a great 'wizard master'!

Outside Oliver Hills, there were many servants of the nobles, and the masters of each family had already entered the villa, and under the greeting of the servants of the villa, they were chatting with each other.

Among the guests, the most distinguished was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Leighton, who represented the lord of the kingdom, Locke III, and came to celebrate the birthday of Count Oliver.

In addition, several Archdukes and His Excellency even worked tirelessly to come in person, and with this face, they have all over the entire Layton Kingdom, except for His Majesty King Locke III, I am afraid that there is only this Earl Oliver.

At this time, Count Oliver, the protagonist, had no intention of going out to receive the guests, but walked shoulder-to-shoulder with a young man who looked to be in his twenties and wore armor, strolling through the backyard with a bright smile on his face.

“...... Ha, it's really rare to see you, dear Grand Knight Roger. Earl Oliver smirked.

"It's been an old friend for so many years, you are a hundred years old, how could I not come. The young man in armor, whom Count Oliver called the Grand Knight of Roger, said with a smile.

For Oliver's lazy appearance, Roger is no longer surprised.

Today's Oliver, in front of ordinary people, is a transcendent 'wizard', but in front of himself, his lazy appearance has not changed.

"In the blink of an eye, I'm actually a hundred years old, and time flies so fast......" Oliver sighed, touching his chin covered with sparse stubble.

"Come on, you're still going to show off your age in front of me, you said you walked down the street, who could tell you were a hundred years old?" Roger shook his head and smiled.

Indeed, judging from his appearance, Oliver is only middle-aged at best, and no one can tell that he has reached the age of 100, but ...... When this came out of Roger's mouth, Oliver was not at all proud, but rolled his eyes angrily.

"You damn thing, are you deliberately angry with me? You're two years older than me, but you still look like this little white face, you're really more popular than people. ”

"Does it make sense to look young?" Roger's voice was slightly lowered, and he smiled helplessly, "Oliver, you should know that my path has come to an end, and my time is running out compared to you, the wizard. ”

"What bullshit wizard, those mortals don't know, don't you know about it, your great knight?" Oliver looked very unhappy with Roger's old friend calling himself 'Lord Wizard'.

Ordinary people call him 'Master Wizard' because of his shallow knowledge, and he can't tell the difference between those real 'Master Wizards' and his apprentice wizard, just like in the eyes of ants, any creature is a behemoth.

However, Roger is obviously not in the ranks of ordinary people, not to mention how many wizard apprentices he has befriended, just to say that he himself, in the eyes of ordinary people, is not weaker than wizards...... Great knight, the pinnacle of warriors!

Both the physical body and the fighting skills have been tempered to the limit!

Until the moment of death, his body can be kept in peak condition, which is why Roger is obviously older than Oliver, but he looks so young.

Of course, the statement that the Great Knight is not weaker than the 'Wizard Lord' is indeed an exaggeration, but even so, the status of the Great Knight is unquestionable.

Oliver knew very well that if he really let go of the fight, a mid-level wizard apprentice like him would probably not be a match for his old friend if he stacked it up.

"Your Excellency the Grand Knight......" Roger shook his head self-deprecatingly, stopped, looked at Oliver, and said, "At least you live longer than me, don't you?"

Hearing Roger's words, Oliver withdrew the hand on his old friend's shoulder, the pompous expression on his face slowly disappeared, and the atmosphere became a little dull for a while.

"Roger, haven't you given up yet. ”

Oliver had asked the question so many times that he already knew the answer, but at this moment he had a reason to ask it again.

"Oliver, you know I'm not going to give up. Roger stared at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, and for a moment, his thoughts were like a tide.

............

He was not reconciled!

When he was first born into this world, Roger was still very confused, and it was difficult for him to accept what had happened to him—he was reborn into the body of a baby for no reason, and he also came to a world that seemed extremely backward.

He remembers that while cleaning at home, he was cut on his finger by a cracked mirror in the storage room, and the next moment he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he had already come into the world as a newborn.

At first, through observation, he found that the background of life in this world is roughly equivalent to the European Middle Ages, but as he grew up, he gradually realized that the world did not seem to be as simple as he originally thought......

Roger's father in this life was a hereditary viscount with a fief, so from an early age, he had access to many things that ordinary people couldn't reach.

For example, the knight class system is the first existence that makes him feel incredible.

The knights of this world are not just an honorary title like the knight class on the earth, but a professional system and a measure of combat power.

From a beginner knight who can withstand a squad of more than ten soldiers, to a hundred enemies of a mid-level knight, to a thousand enemies of a high-level knight, and finally to the legendary knight who can fight against a 10,000-strong army alone!

The leap of each level is a qualitative transformation relative to combat power.

Like Roger's father's guard leader, a junior knight who served in the army of the Layton Kingdom, Roger once saw him hunt a wild bear more than three meters tall with his bare hands when he was young!

Since then, Roger has a preliminary understanding of the force of this world, and once thought that becoming a powerful knight was the goal of this life, until later, he learned from the mouth of the leader of the guard that there is still a terrible group in this world called 'wizards'......

Legend has it that those wizards have omnipotent spells, and even the extremely rare high-ranking knights in the continent are dwarfed by the 'wizards', and perhaps only the great knights who have not appeared for many years can be compared.

"Possess an omnipotent spell?"

After Roger knew this, the yearning for wizards in his heart was indescribable.

And his cheap father in this life was also extremely relieved to learn that his son wanted to become a wizard, and sent his son to the capital of the Leighton Kingdom, handed over to an old friend to take care of him, and spent a lot of money to fight for his son for a place that only happens once every ten years for the wizard talent test.

But, as Roger often saw on the Internet in his previous life, dreams are beautiful, but reality is always cruel...... The results of the test gave Roger a clear and resounding slap in the face.

He didn't have the talent to become a wizard.

Ironically, Roger's father's old friend, who had a son about the same age as Roger, decided to take the wizarding talent test because he was influenced by the excitement of Roger's peers, but instead he was found to have wizarding talent.

Roger's peer is Oliver.

Seeing that the wizard's road was hopeless, Roger was really depressed for a while, until he remembered what the head of the guard at home said, the pinnacle of the knight's profession, a big knight who had not appeared in the entire continent for many years, and a rumor that might be comparable to a wizard.

Only then did Roger slowly regain his strength, and through hard work, when he was less than forty years old, he became a great knight that had been rare in the entire continent for hundreds of years!

It was only when Roger really stood at the pinnacle of this knight that he knew how ridiculous the widely circulated claim in the continent that the great knight could be comparable to a wizard.

Perhaps in terms of combat power, he who was promoted to the Great Knight is better than most high-level wizard apprentices, even if he encounters a peak wizard apprentice, who is more powerful has to be beaten to know, but compared to the real wizard, the Great Knight is still an ant......

Not only in terms of strength, but after learning more about wizards, Roger found that even a beginner wizard apprentice had a much longer lifespan than him.

Although he was immortal in the flesh after being promoted to the Great Knight, judging from the documents recorded in the continental region, the lifespan limit of the Great Knight was only one hundred and twenty years old at best.

This has nothing to do with the body, but the limit of the soul, no matter how powerful his physical body is, he is just an ordinary person at the soul level, and when the limit is reached, he will have to die.

This is not the case with wizards, even if they are new to wizard apprenticeship, the limit of soul lifespan has been increased to two hundred years old, and if they can break through to the real wizard class, their soul lifespan can leap from two hundred years old to one thousand years old!

This was only what Roger could be sure, let alone what he was not sure of, the rumors that were only circulating in wizarding circles about the existence of wizards of higher levels for a longer period of time than the existence of the continent.

Reliving a life, knowing that there is another more wonderful and vast sky in this world, but he just didn't have the opportunity to take a look, this is tantamount to entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed, so how can Roger be willing?

Especially when he remembered that the person invited by the Leighton Kingdom to test the wizard's talent back then was only a beginner wizard apprentice, he had a little luck in his heart.

"Could it be that he was mistaken?"

Therefore, after becoming a great knight, Roger once again ignited his dream of becoming a wizard, however, in the following decades, Roger had to admit that the wizard apprentice who tested his talent back then was not wrong, and he did not have the talent to become a wizard.

But that didn't make him give up, because he still had a question in his mind.

"If you don't have a wizarding talent, can't you really be a wizard?"
