There were not many nobles in the Roland Alliance, but the fiefs were very large. But the small population is decided, and many noble fiefdoms are no man's land. War and water scarcity severely limited the growth of the population, and here it was sandy land, and the dug reservoirs were leaking at every turn. The stone reservoir is also not ideal, and the leakage of the water in the gap will cause the deformation of the bottom of the reservoir, and the water leakage will be faster when it is deformed.

In addition to transporting clay from a distance to tamp the bottom of the warehouse, there is also a mage to use spells to reinforce, which is too expensive and the average nobleman is reluctant. Neither option can be afforded by the common people, nor is the small merchant family.

Merchants quickly sold four-horse carts of grain, and grain from the south was in high demand here. The merchant had a few more gold coins in his pocket, and rushed to the small farm outside the city with a cart of grain and a little mage.

A large area of farmland in the south of the city belonged to the nobles, and the land of the commoners was in the north of the city. As he passed through the city, the little mage looked around, but he didn't see any mages or magic caravans, and the small merchant's carriage was the main road he walked!

The little merchant told the little mage that the mages were all in the northern wizarding city, White Tower. There are no mages here, and there are hardly any mages to come.

Out of town, you can see some small farmsteads, all the way. After about ten minutes of driving, the carriage drove into a farmstead, and the small merchant arrived home.

"Rick, Raven, Silari, I'm back!"

Before the little merchant's carriage had entered the wooden fence, he shouted.

A little girl of five or six years old ran out of the doorway, with long brown hair. Then a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy followed.

"Raven, slow down! Beware of falling! ”

Finally, a woman in an apron shouted forward.

"It's okay, Daddy is back!"

As soon as the little girl finished shouting, she was mixed by her own skirt, leaned forward and fell. The little mage waved his hand, and the magic supported the little girl who was about to collide with the ground, and lifted it to the carriage, and the little girl paddled her arms in the air, kicking her short legs like swimming, and the little mage caught it.

"You're wearing a dress! Should run slowly! ”

The little mage placed the little girl on the bearskin beneath him, and the merchant looked back at his daughter.

"Raven, are you alright?"

"I just flew!"

The little girl was not frightened at all, but was very happy. The little businessman was also relieved, and the mother and son who came from behind were also surprised, and old Logan actually brought back a mage.

Logan drove the wagon to the barn door and beckoned the two old servants to unload the cart. Evan took the bearskin, and Logan picked up his daughter and got out of the carriage.

Everyone walked into the wooden house together, and there are not many such wooden houses in the south, and there may be too much rain, and the wooden houses are prone to mold and rot. The room is simply furnished, with a wooden table and a few chairs. There was a stone fireplace by the wall, and an old sofa by the fireplace.

"This is Master Evan, and I relied on him to defeat a lot of beasts along the way, so that I could come back safely!"

Logan introduces Evan to everyone and begins to introduce his family.

"This is my wife Hillary, a virtuous woman, this is my eldest son, Rick, fourteen, and this is my baby, six-year-old Raven, who is naughtier than a boy!"

Logan's family saluted Evan, and as a guest, Evan gave Hillary Clinton the bearskin and a gold coin for each of the two children.

"It's too precious!"

Hillary was a little nervous, and the gift from the mage was a bit heavy.

"You're welcome, this bear skin was hunted halfway through, and it followed the carriage all night!"

"Yes, the old bear was so cunning that he didn't make a sound when he followed behind, and the horse was uneasy all the way, and finally Evan killed him. By the way, there was also some bear meat left, in the leather bag. We ate bear meat at night, which was a good thing that even the nobles rarely ate! ”

With that, Logan went to fetch bear meat from the animal skin bag, and the Rick siblings followed. Evan took out a bear leg and wanted to hand it to Hillary to see if she could hold it and put it on the table.

"I like to eat fresh, trouble Mrs. Logan!"

"I do my best! Bear meat is more chai, is it okay to stew it? ”

"Of course, whatever you want!"

Logan took out the bear jerky and was about to hand it to his wife, looking at the animal leg on the table, knowing that it was Evan who took it.

"Master Evan, how can you let yourself take the food, we should entertain you!"

"Just call me Evan, don't be a mage, I'll stay here for a while, it's too different from the south!"

"Where did you hide your legs? I didn't see you holding it! ”

Raven was very surprised that Evan only took the bear skin in, how did he take out the beast leg, it was still a big one.

"I want to know how the mage hides things! Then you see, don't blink! ”

The Rogan family looked at Ivan's hand with wide eyes, but Ivan's hand didn't move, and he stretched out his palm upward, and suddenly a red wand appeared in his hand. The wand was shiny, and still transparent.

"It's amazing!"

The Rogan family exclaimed, their mouths open.

"Can you teach me? I want to learn too! ”

"Raven, this is unreasonable!"

Logan hurriedly stopped Raven, for fear that Evan would be angry! Evan waved his hand and stopped Logan.

"Then you have to become a mage as well, mage cultivation is very hard!"

"I'm not afraid of hard work!"

Raven is a bit obsessed, and the attraction of conjuring things out of thin air is too great.

"That's not just talking, it depends on whether you have the talent to practice magic, and whether you want to leave your parents."

"Huh? If you want to leave your mother, that's not okay! ”

Hillary went to prepare dinner, the Rick siblings went to help, and Evan and Logan chatted about some of the most famous mountains and towns in the north.

After dinner, at Logan's request, Evan prepared to test his children's cultivation talents. Rick's meridians are average, and he is a high-level samurai who can cultivate at most. If you can afford the potion at home, you can barely enter the Great Samurai. Evan can't say it bluntly, and Rogan's family doesn't have so many gold coins to squander, so they can only tell Logan euphemistically that the warrior's talent is average, and there is no problem with cultivating intermediate warriors.

The mischievous Raven has a good talent, but it's even more difficult to be a mage apprentice.

"Raven's talent is good, it's still a mage talent, but the cost of an apprentice is also a lot of gold coins."

Logan and his wife hesitated, but in the end, Logan asked Evan to accept Raven.

"She's too young, I still have a long way to go, if you're willing to give up here, you can go to Depero in the south, I'll go home after all!"

"Depero Collar, the southernmost noble collar in the South? Only a small amount of taxes are paid to that place? ”

Mr. and Mrs. Logan had heard of that place, where the tax on farmland was only 10 percent, which was three or four percent lower than that of the nobles. Civilians have gold coins in their pockets, and it is cheap to see a doctor and heal their wounds.

"Yes, that's the place, the southernmost part of the Violet Empire!"

"You're really from over there! That's thousands of miles! ”

"I'm just out and around and looking around the continent. If you really decide to go, go with the big caravan, otherwise it will be too dangerous. ”

The Rick siblings were asleep, and the Rogans were tossing and turning. To go or not, they still have time to ask Evan again, what the family is going to eat, whether there is land, there will definitely be no gold coins left for thousands of miles all the way, and there is no capital for business. Raven has the talent of a mage, so he can't delay!

Early in the morning, the Rick siblings watched as the two old servants dug into the pool. Logan's family has more than 30 acres of land, and the wheat fields in the dry season rely on water reservoirs. It was said to be digging, but in fact, it was just to clean up the reservoir, and a lot of the sand and soft edges collapsed.

Evan also came over to watch, and it was more than 100 square meters, three or four meters deep. These clean-ups must be done before the snow falls, otherwise they will not be cleaned up.

Evan asked them curiously what the mages of the Northlands did with the cistern. Both of them shook their heads, they hadn't seen each other. Evan wanted to give it a try, but he was idle anyway.

Gravity, the side of the reservoir was too deep, and the two old servants ran away in fright. Whoever suddenly sinks two feet into the ground around them will be afraid.

The Rick siblings were also taken aback, and the cistern suddenly sank. They turned to look at Evan, and saw him holding his staff.

Ivan estimated that even though the sand was solid, it would still leak.

The earth solidified, and after a small sound, Ivan stepped forward and knocked a few times with his staff, "poof" sounded, this spell should be used by wizards in the Northland! But there is a time limit for the soil to solidify.

"Stand back, little ones, I'm going to roast here!"

Ryclarivin stepped back, looking at Ivan from afar, who had just turned the sand to stone.

Sea of Fire, a red crystal staff, gives fire elemental magic some bonuses. The brother and sister only saw the flames rushing to the sky, and then the heat wave hit their faces and hurriedly ran back. Ivan stood at the edge of the cistern and stopped his magic when he saw that the sand inside had turned red colloidal.

Ivan was satisfied, so that there would be no more leaks. Evan told the Rick siblings not to go to the cistern in the morning, it was too hot. Mr. and Mrs. Logan also ran over, and the old servant screamed at the cistern, fearing that something would happen to the child.

The children hid far behind Evan, they wanted to go up to see what was going on in the pool, but a wave of heat hit, and they pulled the children around to the upwind position to take a look, and the whole reservoir was burning red.

Is this the power of magic! Logan looked at Raven. Evan looked at the family across the pool, waved at them, and pointed to the cistern. Then he jumped up with a levitation technique and floated over.

"It shouldn't leak now, I melted the sand, and when it cooled, it was a whole piece."

Logan thought to himself, the pool is good. But his belief was shaken, more than 30 acres of wheat fields, coupled with such a good pool, the yield must be much higher. In this way, you don't have to go out to sell food, and you can live comfortably at home farming.

In the days that followed, people continued to come to see the pool, first the neighbors, and then the nobles of the city. They wanted to buy the land, but thanks to Logan's lie that the mage was his relative and lived here, the nobles left in some horror.

After a few days, when Evan was about to leave, the Rogan couple asked if they had any land to get Depero, and they knew that once Evan left, they might not be able to keep the place.

"When you go to Abel City, go directly to the Thorn Flower Firm, they will take you there, and tell them that Evan said that I have a letter to give to Tom, the old butler of the castle, and I will explain it in the letter."

Ivan left the letter and left, continuing his long journey.
