Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Somewhere at the foot of the Rocky Mountains that winds thousands of miles through more than a dozen counties and towns in the southwest province of the kingdom, there is a remote village that is rarely known to outsiders and is so small that it was not specifically named when the kingdom unified its territory map.

    There are now forty-eight families in the village, with a population of no more than four hundred. Once upon a time, it was the private property of a knight who was exiled from a distant place for some reason.  But it's strange to say that I don't know which year started, maybe since the elderly lord passed away melancholy, the direct lord here seemed to have completely forgotten about this chicken that doesn't lay eggs and a bird that doesn't poop.  Not only was there no successor knight to take over the village, but no tax collector was ever sent over.  So the villagers secretly rejoiced and continued their peaceful lives with peace of mind. Without the heavy taxes, the originally deficient shortcomings of this place suddenly became very comfortable.

    A few miles outside the village, tightly surrounded by a small forest, there is a small white western-style building that is full of mystery in the eyes of most people in the village.  The reason why it is mysterious is that this small building was built almost overnight.  This miraculous scene frightened the people in the village until the owner of the small foreign-style building, a kind and kind old man with white hair and beard, slowly walked out of the door and confessed to the restless crowd that he was a wandering magician.  identity, and asked everyone to allow him to live in quiet seclusion here.  No one could directly refuse the request of a distinguished magician. Coupled with the old magician's harmless smile, he quickly integrated into the life of the village.

    Except for the occasional mysterious out-of-town visitors who would come to visit the old magician, the old man rarely left the grove. Even the food that the villagers enthusiastically sent him declined with a smile, as if he was completely indifferent to the world in the fairy tales.  Like fireworks.  After half a year, the villagers had already become accustomed to the existence of the old magician and the small white building. Gradually, some clever villagers quietly made calculations in their hearts.  If my children could win the favor of the old magician and learn a little bit of magic, wouldn't they be able to stand out immediately?  There¡¯s no need to stay in this remote mountain village for the rest of your life, right?

    With more and more villagers standing outside the door pleading, the lingering lingering thoughts may have affected my research.  The old magician finally had to show up.  After patiently explaining the dangers of learning magic again and again, seeing that everyone was still stubborn, the old magician sighed and reluctantly selected ten young people.  He agreed to temporarily accept them as trainee apprentices for observation, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask the parties to sign a life-and-death contract.  Two of them suddenly became timid and backed down at the last moment. In contrast, the other young people were very cheerful and pressed their fingerprints without saying anything.

    After the eight people packed their luggage excitedly, they followed the old magician and lived in the Xiaobai Building until half a year later.  Was given leave to go home.  Unfortunately, the original eight people have now become seven.  When the villagers learned that the remaining young man had touched the old magician's magic item in an accident and was turned into ashes in an instant, they were sad but couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by this unprecedented situation.  The strange way of death was secretly surprising.  Recalling the various dangers described by the old magician, the people who grew up in this relatively peaceful small village finally realized the proper fear of death.  However, seeing the extremely obvious changes in the temperament and conversation of the seven people in front of them, many people were still envious and jealous of their good luck.

    A few years have passed, but less than half of the first batch of eight trainee apprentices remain.  Just when various strange rumors about the old magician gradually began to appear in the village.  One of them came back from vacation this year.  In front of the whole village, he proudly used magic to create colorful butterflies dancing in the air.  At this moment, all the suspicion and fear circulating in the village disappeared overnight!

    Time passes slowly like this, and almost every year and a half there are careless apprentices who are killed by accidents, but there are also young people who are full of yearning for mysterious magic.  After signing the life and death contract, he resolutely entered Xiaobailou, keeping the number of apprentices stable at around ten.

    As apprentices, these young people have work to do every day.  In addition to taking care of the old magician's daily life.  On the rooftop of Xiaobai Building, there are two rows of huge domed birdcages.  Almost every little while.  There will be birds falling from the sky from nowhere.  Cavor and his companions had to take turns taking care of the little guys and removing the cylinders from their feet.  Pass the content inside to your teacher in a timely manner, or occasionally release some homing pigeons.

    Although the old magician solemnly told everyone not to open these letters at will, the young man's curiosity was enough to kill the cat.?There will always be impatient apprentices who secretly pry into what is written on the letter.  What disappoints them is that most of the time, these messages are records and descriptions of events that happened in many distant places that they have never heard of and people they do not know at all.

    Cavor is one of the earliest surviving apprentices. In a few years, he has gradually grown from the ignorant boy who knew almost nothing about the world to the smart and wise young man he is today.  After several years of continuous practice, Cavor has been able to use several different tricks effortlessly.  Unlike other apprentices who tirelessly pursue the powerful power of magic, Cavor enjoys the satisfaction of acquiring and mastering knowledge, but even more than using magic itself.  The library that the old magician allows his apprentices to use can be said to be the place where he likes to stay most on weekdays.

    Perhaps it was his personality and habits that attracted the attention of the old magician. Gradually, some different tasks were tentatively handed over to Cavor - classifying the incoming messages.  Based on factors such as location, time, key people, and importance, Cavor carefully followed his teacher's instructions to conduct preliminary processing of the information and then forwarded it to the old magician.  In this way, you can save the latter a lot of unnecessary trouble.

    After such a period of time, Cavor, who became familiar with the situation, finally gradually understood what his teacher had been doing over the years - intelligence collection.  All kinds of valuable news from all over the kingdom are collected and sorted by the old magician, and then sent out again using the teleportation magic circle to unknown places.  Judging from the possible sources of a few secret messages occasionally obtained, it is not completely impossible that the force that the old magician serves may not even be the Kingdom of Dravel.

    Regarding the unexpected discovery of the truth, Cavor's reaction was - no reaction at all.  He just followed his teacher's instructions purely as always, working meticulously with a very efficient performance and calm loyalty.  The young trainee knows very well that his every move may always be under the observation of his teacher.  If you show a little wavering on this matter.  Then in the teacher's mind, his own evaluation may be greatly reduced.  As for the great sentiment of taking the initiative to stand up and safeguard the security of the country at the cost of one's own life, it is difficult for young people who grew up in remote mountain villages as descendants of serfs to sprout.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Noting that the teacher's face had hardly changed in the past few years, Cavor would occasionally recall those who were selected at the same time as him, but who died one after another due to various inexplicable accidents in the past few years when dreaming back at midnight.  It's those guys whose bodies are gone.  somewhere deep in his heart.  There are vague speculations that are more terrifying but unwilling to admit.

    After several various trials, Cavor more or less won the teacher's attention with his ability in handling documents.  Finally one day, the old magician no longer cared about Cavor's presence at work. Not only did he give him more freedom, but he also opened up higher authority to him.  Not just sleight of hand, but access to a real spellbook.  In a sense, it could be said that she truly recognized him as her apprentice.

    Sometimes, when Cavor was immersed in his work, he even had a wonderful idea.  Maybe even His Majesty the King doesn't know as much about this country as I do Thinking of this, the young man shook his head mockingly, feeling a little ridiculous for his arrogance.

    I have been exposed to too many secrets.  Cavor realized his own insignificance more and more.  Compared with the newly joined companions in Xiaobailou who are addicted to magic tricks.  He has even actually mastered real magic.  From not knowing a word to the present achievement, he has achieved it in just a few years. Even the old magician once said that if he can get enough resources, if nothing unexpected happens, he may be able to do it before he is thirty years old.  It is possible to become an official magician.  Speak the truth.  He was secretly proud of his great talent.  However, news from Sorens City a few days ago showed that.  Akalon has no shortage of geniuses, and a young man who has just grown up has officially become a magician.  Joined the local Master Tower.  Even the old magician couldn't help but widen his eyes after receiving this piece of information from Cavor, and read it over and over again several times, especially about this person's record of defeating the three sons of the Samanna family in summoning chess.  I couldn't believe it at all, and finally issued a rare order asking local spies to investigate this person in detail.

    "Is thisthat young man" Kaivo murmured with a complicated expression as he looked at the latest information he just received today.

    Suddenly receiving a clear instruction from his immediate superior, the secret agent of Solens City seemed a little flattered. This time he clearly exceeded the assigned task and not only brought this young magician toThe master's origins were clearly investigated, and he even used the quota of magic crystal balls to photograph his appearance from a distance, printed it on enchanted parchment, and handed it over.

    His appearance is neat and beautiful, like a doll made of the finest white porcelain, but the doll's eyes will not be so deep, and his expression will not exude such laziness.  Even if he didn't say anything, just looking straight ahead was enough to make people feel a strong sense of being alone in the world.

    Making comparisons with himself, Cavor, who felt vaguely inferior, never expected that when he handed the parchment into the hands of the old magician, the other party unfolded it with interest and only took a glance at it, but found nothing.  Immediately stood up from the chair.

    An indescribable momentum burst out from the old magician's body out of control, and endless fear completely frightened Cavor's heart in an instant.  Even in his worst guesses, he could not imagine that the kind teacher in front of him had such an antagonistic side.  His mind went blank, and his body seemed to be completely immersed in the polar ice. At some point, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, completely unaware of the scrolls that had been knocked over from the desk and scattered on the floor.  It wasn't until the old magician realized it and restrained his breath that the young apprentice gradually recovered. Even so, his body was still trembling unavoidably.

    "Sebastian? SebastianWamborn? Yes, this is the surname he received from the descendant of that existence, not his original name." The old magician pointed his slender fingers  Scribbling across the parchment sentence by sentence, his eyes were so focused that Cavor could have sworn to God that he saw needle-like crimson light igniting in the eyes of the teacher in front of him, "By that Wamborn  The young lady brought her back from Terrassus. Well, she has never talked about her past with anyone. Based on the information obtained from the servants, it is inferred that it is quite possible that she is an illegitimate child kicked out by a certain noble family?" I wonder if it is Cavor's.  Illusion, the old magician's face seemed a little distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said every word with hatred, "Very good very good very good! Your Highness Brummell, your father will be proud of you."  !¡±

    Your Highness Brummel?  A royal highness?  Who is that?  Cavor could hardly believe his ears.  And judging from the old magician's tone, he was actually serving the father of His Highness!  My God, for the sake of the goddess, what kind of man would that be, the father of His Highness? Would it be a duke, or a king?

    The old magician recited a few incantations in a low voice, and large strings of bright red letters burned out from the bottom of the parchment, which faded away in an instant.  Carefully rolling up the parchment, his fingers lightly touched the seams.  The shining arcane mark lit up, and the power of magic firmly sealed the bundle of scrolls.  Immediately after, he read out the words of the command, and a delicate metal box appeared on the desk.  The old magician waved his arms and directed several scrolls that floated out from the two-story intelligence cabinets around to fly in.  Looking at the scroll in his hand again, he gently threw it in, and then closed the box.  When the lid of the box was closed, the entire metal box mysteriously disappeared in the room, accompanied by a distortion of space.

    Cavor, who was still in a trance, did not notice that after the information was sent, his teacher sighed softly, "Then, what decision will you make? Lord Maven" To be continued.  .
