[With the past, there is a future. 】

[Duchy, July 5, 2025, Wenti County]

After the relentless washing of Wenti County, the whole city, by the continuous rainstorms, more and more people realized that an earth-shattering event had indeed happened in the hot summer. That is, the legendary Ice Dragon buried in Wenti County has awakened.

Although the whole matter has ended quietly, due to the interference of the Dragon Whisker Gong, this matter has undoubtedly become a tacit secret for every Wenti County person.

But to everyone's surprise, the entry and exit personnel and caravans of Wenti County were under martial law, and those dense Flying Eagle soldiers were guarding all corners of Wenti County, which made people wonder what really happened in that rainstorm.

Some speculate that this is more important than all the major events that have befallen Wendyshire in the past few hundred years. Especially the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is heavily guarded, can't even get close to a bird.

The strange ice storm that has just ended swept the entire Wenti County, and it didn't take long for it to happen, and it seemed that something very big was going to happen, and many people thought that Wenti County now needed to store food, so it was good to stay at home and not go out, otherwise it would be too late to cry if something terrible happened.

In order to clean up the grain trade in Windi County and prevent the people from panicking, the Ministry of Internal Affairs injected a large amount of grain into the merchants, which stabilized the prices of important food such as rice and salt.

The ancient rule of Wenti County was to prohibit the use of magic in the city. Whoever it is, they will advise them, so every adventurer and guild here will pass a relatively simple interview and conduct a field test outside the city.

Those who want to go out of the city to hunt or unveil the list and offer rewards are all gathered together.

The guides were no exception, the chamber of commerce was in operation, and the streets were full of all kinds of chamber of commerce personnel following the guides out of the city.

A boy of about ten years old looked around in the guide hall, as if he couldn't find the person he was looking for. He carried an umbrella made of green lotus leaves, dressed in coarse linen clothes, his blonde hair cut short, and his forehead was exposed like a little hedgehog, and he looked at the bulletin board full of people, and then groped for his own object, a small prototype clock.

The clock was ticking away, and it was now 9:23, and it had already passed most of the morning. The person he was waiting for hadn't come yet.

"Like...... He ......looked at the girl sitting on the stairs with some grievances, and a girl of his age, the girl was sitting, holding her thighs with her hands, covering her long skirt, listening to the boy's words, she frowned, and asked in a very soft voice, "Didn't old Tom come?" He's your guide? ”

"Yes......" The boy shrugged his shoulders, took the umbrella off his hand, and sat down next to the girl, who slowly moved to the side to give him a place so as not to block the people who were going up the steps.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen him late...... I asked and asked...... The others didn't seem to know where he had gone...... "The boy took the clock and kept his eyes fixed on the bulletin board, his black eyes shining, it was a very strange light, and his eyes were as bright as jade.

"So are we going to wait? Today is your first day in the city, and your eyes are just right, are you going to take the guide mission? The girl looked at him worriedly, the purple nebula in her eyes was so bright, if anyone saw it, they would be amazed that they had such beautiful eyes.

"Wait...... However, we can go and see if there are any suitable tasks that can be done...... It's not too boring, old Tom can still see us when he comes......" The boy touched the watch in his pocket, opened the case with a click, and looked at it carefully: "Nine-twenty-five...... If it's past ten o'clock, I don't think Old Tom will be here today...... If he didn't go to work, he would definitely be eating wine at this time. ”

After saying that, he got up again and closed his watch, he had just sat down, and he had just seen the world, and now he stood up and looked at the time again, and he was really a little anxious.

"Brother Yu Feng...... You do the guide...... For what? The girl was still sitting on the ground, looking up at him, and in her eyes, the boy's back was so straight that she could not see any bending, and he was full of vigor and heroism.

"Because...... I don't know anything...... That's all I can do......" Chang Yu Feng put the watch in his pocket again and carried the umbrella on his back: "If I really want to talk about it, I missed the Dragon Conference...... That is, the entrance exam...... Can't go to school. ”

"Do you want to go to school?" Lin'er looked at him, he was standing in the sun at this time, he was stunned for a second, he clapped his hands, and said with a smile as if he had finished work: "Of course I want to, but this is not something I can control, the status of magicians in the principality is very high, it is not enough to have knowledge and cultivation, you still need to know!" Magic! ”

With a snap, he snapped his fingers, a drop of flame...... Yes, a drop of flame that flowed down like water appeared and dissipated from his fingertips, and the process was so short that people couldn't react, so that Ling'er looked at him strangely.

"For Lin'er's spiritual power, it is estimated that it can be directly taught by the Grand Magister of the Principality himself. Maybe you're stronger than the Great Magus......" As soon as Chang Yufeng stretched out his hand, Lin'er put one hand on it, and in an instant, she got up and patted the purple dress.

"However, I already have a master, and I don't need anyone else to teach magic......" Lin'er blinked as if she was very aggrieved, she patted left and right, up and down, stunned that there was not a little dust down, this new purple dress was still as new as ever.

"So...... A genius like you, Lin'er! One in a hundred! Hehe......" Chang Yu Feng rubbed his little nose: "Let's go...... Let's go and see if there are any easy tasks, a good day, starting with serious work. ”

"Is this work?" Lin'er tilted her head and asked.

"It's not a job...... Small children are not allowed to be guides. Chang Yu Feng replied softly, "But I'm Old Tom's apprentice...... That's it......"

"Hmph...... Speaking of which, Brother Yu Feng has been in the room all this time, and he even has to call for dinner...... Rarity stuck to me, and I didn't know what to do with the kid. Lin'er pouted and complained, in this guide hall full of adults, two children walked over so calmly, it was enough to make people curious to take a look or two, the guide hall was very noisy, and these two children were simply a clear stream in the noise.

"I'm a wounded...... The wounded should be well rested...... Rarity is a little guy who likes to play with her pretty sister, who are you sticking to if you don't stick to her? Right? Chang Yu Feng smiled happily, laughing while tidying up his clothes: "What can I do?" If only I were as beautiful as you...... I think Rarity sticks to me every day...... Hahaha. ”

"Really! Your sister is so naughty......"

"She's still young, and she's just playing at her age...... In fact, she is very smart, she understands that this beautiful sister is good, and knows that you will spoil her. ”

"Thank you so much for that...... Lin'er snorted away, and laughed again after a while, "Then again, Rarity is really smart, she doesn't think I eat green peppers...... Just pick the green pepper in my bowl to eat, I really can't spoil her. ”

She smiled so brightly that Chang Yufeng had just stopped laughing, and was amused by her again.

"Right...... This little guy. ”

They met and smiled, the pace of the two was a little fast, but they could also keep up synchronously, Chang Yufeng looked at the road while laughing, so as not to step on the empty stairs or bump into someone.

And just as they were descending the stairs, a soldier in armor and heavily armed hurried up the stairs of the stairs.

Close to him, it was easy to hear the soldier's heavy breathing.

Chang Yu Feng and Lin Er were attracted by this hurried soldier, and when they turned around, they saw that the soldier was already standing on the stairs panting, shouting in a hoarse voice with a loud voice: "The guide hall is closed today!" Please come to me at the Chamber of Commerce to register and receive the President's Pass! ”

"What?" Someone didn't hear it clearly, and the noisy guide hall gradually became quiet from the inside out.

By the time everyone had quieted down, the soldier was still panting, and the order was so urgent that he didn't respond much.

"Guide Hall! Closed for the same day! I would like to ask the presidents of the chamber of commerce from other towns to come to me to register for their return home, and from now on, you can leave Wenti County. ”

This time he spoke so clearly that everyone gathered around, and the clerk of the guide hall, a slightly chubby, middle-aged man with a long beard, was the first to squeeze out of the crowd and talk to the soldier.

Chang Yufeng and Lin'er glanced at each other, neither of them found the answer from their respective eyes, this was a sudden situation, which caught everyone off guard. They watched as the officer eagerly walked up to the soldier's side and patted him on the back very carefully.

"With all due respect, you mean that the Guide Hall will be closed with immediate effect, and all the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce from other towns will have to return to their hometowns on the same day? Is it? The hall clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead with the handkerchief he had brought, which was no small matter, and if the hall was closed, it meant that he would have to leave.

"Yes...... And you need to register with me......" The soldier's words were clear to everyone's ears, he was well trained enough to not breathe much now.

"Actually, all the strangers have to ......" The soldier looked at a pair of puzzled eyes, he did not have any stage fright, but said this password more completely: "All the presidents of the chamber of commerce at the scene need to register with me, and if the others are foreigners, please go to their respective residences to register and wait for the arrangement!"

He was in his helmet, looking at everyone, and he picked up a blank roster, as if beckoning everyone to come in front of him.

"Can you tell us what's going on?" A cat gentleman in a suit gave a polite shoulder salute. He was apparently the president of a chamber of commerce in a foreign country.

"I don't know the specifics, but Wentijun is really going to be closed this time......" The soldier also politely saluted.

"Isn't it just a few days since the lockdown was lifted......" Mr. Cat touched his white beard.

"This time is different from the last time, the last time was to let everyone in Wenti go out on vacation, this time, it may really be the permanent closure of Wentishire...... It will be a truly empty city. ”

"Why?"

"There is no why, sir...... If you are the president of the Foreign Chamber of Commerce, please line up to register with me. "The soldier is just giving orders, as if he doesn't know the truth.

"Let's hurry home now......" Chang Yufeng thought of something, and took Lin'er's hand a little anxiously and ran out of the door.

"What happened?" Lin'er was also at a loss, maybe Chang Yufeng knew something? But it can't be, his eyes are just right, and he has never been out of the house.

"As I understand it...... There is a high probability that they will lock down the city...... Something big happens, they always do it, then we can't go back......"

"But we didn't do anything......" Lin'er was gently held by Chang Yufeng's hand, in fact, he couldn't outrun her, and they quickly passed through the crowd.

But they don't think so. If we can't go home, we won't be able to go home for a long time...... The two of us simply couldn't settle for food and shelter here. "Chang Yu Kaede has a keen insight into what may have happened...... After going through so much, the first thing he thought about was not to ask why it happened, but how to react and think about it in the long run.

"Is that an exaggeration?" Lin'er watched the adults around her line up blankly to register, this kind of scene was still a bit bluffing, what Chang Yufeng said seemed to be his own guess, and there was not much basis.

Lockdown, can't go back home, food and shelter for a long time.

I think a lot, but I just hear that outsiders want to register, and it still needs to be verified.

However, Chang Yu Feng has his own considerations, and he also follows.

"They're all ...... this urine"

"Urine?"

"Ah, no, I mean...... They do things and think about problems, it's always like this...... Even if they want to take care of everyone, they will not be able to do enough, so in many cases, it is not wrong to think a little further. It's certainly not safe to stay at home anyway, right? Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er, who was still frowning slightly, her frowning was like a flower with a fold, with buds waiting to be released, it was also very good-looking.

"Whatever you say, it's what it is...... the corners of Lin'er's mouth rose slightly, smiling at him, he nodded, and with a hmm, he pulled her through the crowd.

He didn't think like anyone else. If you see a lot of this kind of thing, you will be familiar with it.

You know, now that he has returned to the time after that rainy night, and has many memories that he has never had, he is now more and more calm, and the more he can feel the incomparable reality at this time.

His eyes have been suffering for him for a long time, and for this ten-year-old body, how useless and useless it is, so he understands the reason for protecting himself better.

If he is now locked up in the closed county of Wenti, with no money and no people to contact, his young body will not be able to bear it at all, and an illness may kill him, and he can't be cautious.

Besides, he remembered everything that was going to happen in Wentijun clearly.

Elaine...... Arrested......

Kaede doesn't know each other either......

Sir Neymar has not yet touched ......

Lorcan is still there, and Longxing will still be full of people......

Hatulin didn't see any clues......

He couldn't bear so many things at random.

Perhaps, the answer to the question itself is, why, he was able to return to the body of a ten-year-old......
