No one will attack Northridge under any pretext, because they are the hardest, happiest, noblest bunch.

—Houston Matt

The continent of Naranster is the largest continent in the world, rich in products and vast lands have created countless powerful dynasties, conquests, love, wealth, power, and countless desires drive the people of this continent to flow endlessly. The fall of one kingdom, the rise of another, the invasion of powerful overseas powers, the terrifying howl of the Devil's Mountain, countless events and countless legends, yes, in this legendary continent, there are stories that will be remembered forever by this world.

The existing situation of the six major countries in the Naranster continent was established four hundred years ago, and everyone knows that without unity, the whole continent will never be at peace.

From north to south, as the second largest country on the continent of Naranst, the cold land of Northridge is ruled by the Amber family, known as the descendants of the wolf, and the harsh living environment has created a united nation and unyielding spirit. However, the difficult conditions are destined to limit the fate of this land, it may be impregnable, and it is difficult to shoot a spear, but the backing of the northernmost demon mountain on the continent has also achieved its transcendent status in the world.

At the angry corner closest to the sea in Northridge, a young man stepped on horseback, the young man's brown curly hair and fair face with obvious immaturity, the close-fitting plate armor on his body was tailor-made at a glance, the hilt of the long sword on his waist was exposed in front of his thighs, and the shiny silver showed the texture of pure silver, and a plainly dressed woman was half-squatting to tie the boy with a huge cloak made of otter skin, which was unique to Northridge.

Raging Point is the fief of Lord Rodoco Arthur of the King of Northridge, the largest port city in Northridge, and also the city with the most frequent communication between Northridge and the outside world, the Arthur family has been managing the city for Northridge for more than seventy years, and Rodoko took over the lordship from his aging father ten years ago. The boy just now is Rodoko's youngest son, Jack Arthur, who is thirteen years old this year, and Arthur is going to study in the Rhine Empire, located in the center of the continent.

The Rhine Empire is the most powerful country in the Naranster continent, the border north to the border of the North Ridge, the south to the Silver Moon Kingdom and the mountain tribes, and the west to the Neptune Islands, but the border exceeds the sum of the above three countries, standing on the continent for seven hundred years, inheriting the nineteenth generation of emperors, is the financial, academic, and political center of the entire continent, located in the imperial capital of Loran, the Rhine College, can be said to be a comprehensive university with the same status as the Rhine Empire in the academic world, and the purpose of Jack's trip is to go to the Rhine Academy to study.

In the crowd of angry horns, Jack has sneaked to the tavern where the sailors drank more than once to listen to those interesting stories about the Rhine Empire, as for the waitresses who were dressed in coarse cloth clothes with pockmarked faces, and were stripped naked by a group of sailors who had drunk too much at every turn, the young man chose to ignore them directly, and every time things came to this point, he would take the initiative to slip away by himself, for no particular reason, but there was no beauty at all.

"Why doesn't my father want me to go to the Rhine?" Jack asked obediently as he looked at his mother, who had fastened his cloak, but the distressing loss in his eyes was obvious to everyone.

"Where does your father not want you to go, he is reluctant to let you go, don't look at his hard mouth, he is such a temper, if there is no your brother I will not let you go, not to mention how many years this has been, there are countless dangers along the way. As she spoke, her mother looked at another young man standing on the side, who was tall and handsome, with a mustache that set off a hint of yuppies, and looked at her mother with a smile.

"Your brother has grown up. The mother continued to nag: "Don't worry about having no heirs at home, it's good if you two go out, you are still young, it's not easy to have an accident over there, no one will care about you as a child, your brother has learned your father's temper to the fullest, and something may happen to the Rhine." As he spoke, he glanced at the young man with disgust, but made Jack and his brother smile at each other.

"Mother, do you want me to go to the Rhine?" asked Jack, looking at his mother, young people always want to get more affirmation from their parents, and obviously his father's attitude makes Jack very sad.

"Of course. Mother tried to keep her eyes away from Jack's face, for the moment she saw that face she knew she would cry herself, and she could not show it at such a moment. The women of Northridge are very strong, not in terms of physique, but in terms of character. Her husband died and her son was young, so the woman who provoked the breadwinner of the family was not one or two in the history of Northridge.

Jack's mother's name is Jara Pfister. Her aunt Agnis Pfister only handed over the position of the second largest lord of Northridge, the city lord of Giant Eagle City, to her cousin ten years ago, her uncle died of a vicious disease, at that time her cousin's current lord of Giant Eagle City Domt Ron was only ten years old, and there were three fiefs under the command of Giant Eagle City that were also under the jurisdiction of Giant Eagle City.

Escorted by a team of knights, Jack leaves Fury Horn and begins his journey to the Rhine, where Jack's brother Frodo will take him to the fork in the road, where a little girl who looks about the same age as Jack runs over and trots after Jack's dark horse.

"Jack~ Are you going to the Rhine!" the little girl asked, running.

"Yes, Jenny. Jack replied with a smile, the sadness of leaving home had not yet appeared in this young man, and his yearning for Rhine made him full of energy.

"Whew~" Frodo stopped the horse lightly, looked at Jenny who ran over, smiled and asked, "Jenny, do you want to go with Jack?"

"Really?!" Jenny asked in surprise, but there was obviously a hint of restraint, unlike Jack who was still young, and the older Frodo already had his own majesty as the heir of Fury Horn, in Jenny's eyes, this adult was different from Jack, whom she usually played with.

"Is this okay?" Jack also looked at Frodo suspiciously, in fact, he didn't want to take Jenny with him, this little girl is honestly a bit out of character.

"Of course, Grenson, take her. Frodo commanded a knight, who lifted the little girl on his horse. "You should also bring a maid, Luolan's place can't be compared with ours here, you are a nobleman from Beiling, you can't lose our people from Beiling when you go out, what is it to bring a maid, I'll just talk to her parents when I go back, and you can be regarded as a hometown person to talk to." Frodo smiled and said to Jack, in fact, there are many reasons, but it is not good for Jack, who is still young.

"Oh, okay. Jack smiled and looked back at Jenny, who looked happy, but looked back in the direction of her home from time to time.

Jack's mother returned home and looked for Jack's father for a long time, and after looking for a long time, she found the old Rodoko who was looking at Jack alone in the highest round tower of the castle under the advice of the butler.

"When the child leaves, you put on a stinky face and don't agree to anything, now it's okay, and you're sad here. Jack's mother's voice came from behind the elder Rhodoko.

The wrinkles on Old Rodoko's face trembled, and he said without looking back: "I didn't say that I wouldn't let him go, it's too dangerous to go by boat this season, I'm not at ease to go by land, and you don't know that there are people on the border." ”

"That's not what you said at the time. Jack's mother came to the old Rodoko and stroked the cloak on the old Rodoko, and looked at Jack, who could only see a row of black dots, and he didn't know what the expression was on his face.
