In the south of the Aitch Kingdom, the No. 3 Copper Mine in the Mining Area of the Town of Corowin.

"Damn... And this one should be enough..."

In the depths of the mine, Erin, who was drenched in sweat, clutched the iron drill in his hand, supporting his body that was about to fall, and wheezing.

This is a thin teenager, a slightly young and immature face is covered with dirt, but the eyes under the thick inky eyebrows are extraordinarily bright, even if he is gritting his teeth and staring at the ore in front of him at this time, it still shines with sunshine and optimism.

"Bastard, it's really not going to work, that's all!"

Suddenly, a resolute look flashed through his eyes.

"Whoop!" With a heavy whistle, all his attention was focused on his hands, and at the moment when there seemed to be many invisible particles in the air gathered into his hands, he was already exhausted to the extreme, and suddenly swung the iron hammer again, and smashed it down!

"Dang!"

A cloud of sparks splashed up.

The ore that was crumbling on the mine walls finally fell.

"Look at my awakening power, I've finally dug up enough ore, ha..."

The dark tunnels erupted in Erin's smug cheers.

Then he screamed, "Ahhhh

A faint laugh soon came from the distant mine: "Erin, this little guy, was accidentally hit by the ore he pried off. ”

"Haha, this month is the third time, and two more will break last month's record. ”

"Can't you be careful, I actually hit my foot again. ”

......

When dusk fell, a thin figure appeared at the exit of the mining area, covered in stinky sweat, so tired that he couldn't stand upright, and his arms were almost hanging on the ground like soft noodles, and he limped out of the mining area, returned to the somewhat dilapidated town of Corowin, and walked into the only medical hall in the town, Aunt Emma's Hospital.

"Aunt Emma, I'm here. ”

"Little Erin, the old liar is still the same, isn't he dead?" Usually the townspeople greet him with this sentence, and Aunt Emma is no exception when she greets him today.

"I want him to die, too, but he just lives well. ”

"If you hadn't bought him medicine and kept him, he would have died for so many years. ”

"But you can't watch him die, can you?"

"So where do you want him to die... Hey, what's the matter with your foot, didn't I remember that it was already healed when you came here yesterday?

"Ahem... Cough... It's not, the old injury is recurring... The old wound recurred..."

With a depressed and ashamed face, Erin walked out of the hospital with a bag of medicine, and returned to his home in the concerned voice of "Is the old liar still the same?" along the way, "Little Erin, you accidentally hit your foot again, remember to be careful next time".

His home is under a dirt slope to the south of the town, with a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences.

As Erin pushed open the creaking courtyard door, an old man with white hair was sitting at a simple stone table in the courtyard.

This old man is tall, but he looks sick, and his skin is covered with all kinds of traces left by the years, he looks very old, and the clothes on his body are the same as those of Erin, which are made of mineral cloth bags that can no longer see the original color, but the difference is that his body is still relatively clean.

"Haha..."As soon as he saw Erin limping, the old man was stunned for a moment, and immediately held his stomach and laughed so much that his body was stiff: "Sure enough, it's still inevitable..."

"Where did you run out, it's time to take medicine!"

Erin threw the medicine bag into the arms of the gloating old man, and then sat down, regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not, picked up a piece of hard bread on the stone table and nibbled it, while muttering depressedly: "There are fewer and fewer ores in the mining area, and now it is more and more difficult to mine stones." ”

"But I've woken up, and even if it becomes more and more difficult to mine rocks in the future, it should be no problem to feed the two of us. After nibbling on two bites of bread, the depressed look on Erin's face was swept away again, and he became a little proud.

"It's a strange guy that took me so many years to find, and how happy and optimistic I can be in such an environment. ”

The old man squinted his eyes and smiled, glanced at Erin's hands that seemed to be so soft that he couldn't lift them, and said, "It seems that you can't help but use magic power today, but I remember telling you many times that when your physical strength and spirit have reached the limit, no matter how strong you use your magic power, it will cause a heavy burden on your body, and in serious cases, you may die." ”

"It's not like you're trying to feed yourself and you old liar," Arryn snorted disapprups, "and it's only for occasional use. ”

"Okay, weird boy messing around. Now that you have awakened, you have done it again. The old man smiled slightly, "It's time to tell you the truth." ”

Erin looked at the old man: "What is the truth? Are you going to die?"

"Bastard... Is that how you want me to die?"

"Not really, I'm worried that I can't afford a cemetery. ”

"You guy, you listen to me now. My trials and trials for you are over, and tomorrow you can prepare to go to St. Dawn Academy. ”

"Trials and trials?" Ahem—" Arryn choked on dry bread and coughed wildly. "What nonsense do you want to talk about, old liar?"

The old man glanced at Erin, "Okay, let's start with the title 'old liar', what do you say weishenme calls me an old liar?"

"That's because since I picked you up seven years ago, you have always said that you will teach me and teach me how to become a great magician, but in the past seven years, you have only been too lazy to do anything and have not taught me any training methods. That's why everyone is used to calling you an old liar. Erin also glanced at the old man and said depressedly: "It seems that you really have a problem with your brain today, and you actually asked me such a question." ”

The old man smiled slightly: "But since you say that I am a lazy old liar, weishenme won't throw me away?"

"If you are thrown away, no one will raise you, even if you pick up a cat or a dog, you can't just throw it away, let it starve to death, right?"

"You idiot actually compares me to a cat and a dog. The old man shook his head helplessly, "Have you ever wondered what the name of the town of Coroline has in the south? Forgotten abandoned town! Since the iron ore of Coroline was mined, there were only a few barren copper mines left here, which was a territory that even the most crappy lords were unwilling to choose, and only some old miners and old townspeople who had no way to make a living outside would choose to stay here. Even a homeless old beggar wouldn't have walked through a deserted abandoned mine to come here, would he? and on a cold, snowy night!"

......

Night had fallen, and the stars were shining.

Half a loaf of bread fell from Arryn's mouth.

"That makes sense. Erin looked at the old man who did look a little different from usual, "Old Kings, are you serious?"

"You can also see that I mean it, otherwise you wouldn't call me old Kings, you would only call me an old liar. ”

"Are you really a sorcerer?" Arin muttered to himself in disbelief, then shook his head again, "Impossible! If you really want to teach me to become a powerful sorcerer on the Dorast continent as you said, then you haven't taught me the methods and martial arts of training my body in the past seven years?"

"Because there was one more basic thing that decided on the sorcerer Liliang from the beginning. ”

"Such the most basic thing is the power of bloodline!"

A proud look appeared on Old Kings's face, and his tone unconsciously became more and more agitated and fanatical: "Pure giant blood, born with amazing physical strength and infinite strength. Pure orc blood, born with the power of madness, with incredible instantaneous explosive power! Pure elf blood, extremely agile, action like the wind, and born with a high degree of concentration, the use of magic far beyond ordinary people. As for the various dragon bloodlines, the liliang of the body and the magic power that can be used are even more powerful!"

"You've told me more than twenty times in the past two months. Erin's depressed voice sounded: "And what does it have to do with me, I'm just an ordinary human bloodline." It looks like you're sick and it's time to take your medicine. ”

"You idiot!"

Although it was clear that Erin was a strange boy who could not be inferred by common sense, but the impassioned narration was interrupted by Erin's words, Lao Jins still couldn't help but have the urge to vomit blood: "I have also told you many times that the power of various bloodlines is equivalent to all kinds of additional talents, and although the pure human bloodline does not have the power of unique bloodlines, it is the best integrated with other bloodlines!" After the Battle of the Dragons, many powerful pure bloodlines have become fewer and fewer, and many bloodlines have fused many times, and the power of the bloodlines has not even been shown to this day. In the case that the vast majority of sorcerers do not have a particularly powerful bloodline power from the beginning, a sorcerer who has the support of a powerful bloodline power from the beginning is naturally easy to stand out in such an era!"

"But does it really have anything to do with me—" Arryn's weak voice rang out again.

Old Kings couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Can't you use your brain to think about it a little? In the past seven years, in the past seven years, I have brought you hard life grinding, including some of the stories I have told you, what I have seen and heard, are all the training I have given you. Every tiny molecule of your body is already in a state of extreme hunger and thirst after a long period of lack of adequate nutrients and extreme exhaustion every day. So you're thinner than your peers, you look two years younger than them, and you didn't awaken until that age, but because of this, your body will definitely be many times stronger than the average person if it absorbs the power of other bloodlines!"

Erin suddenly brightened: "I understand. ”

Old Kings exhaled, expecting that Erin would finally say what he wanted to say next.

"I see!" But Erin's next sentence almost made him faint to death: "Old Kings, you pervert! Not only do you deceive children's feelings, but the only thing you have done in the past seven years is to destroy children's bodies!"
