Chapter One

Felleg Landis sat quietly on the hillside alone. Under the hillside, a group of children were having fun. The youngest was only four or five years old, and the oldest was only about ten years old.

The Duchy of Terran is located in a remote area and is one of the vassal states of the Auckland Empire. It covers an area of ​​1.2 million square kilometers, has two provinces and four cities, and has a population of only three million. From west to north to east, it borders the Principality of the Philippines, the Principality of Kesh, and the Kingdom of Meka. To the south is endless forests of the Demon Realm.

Fortunately, these three countries are the same as the Principality of Terran and belong to the Auckland Empire. The two Principalities of Fili and Kesh are similar in size to Terran and their national strength is also similar. The Kingdom of Meka is much larger, with fourteen provinces and fifty cities and a population of 20 million, which is far beyond the reach of a small principality like Terran.

Ferlig was born in Sinan Province, the southern province of the Duchy of Land, and is located in a small village to the south. From the entrance of the village, just two kilometers away, it is the forest that makes people want to go to and is equally terrifying. The forest of the Demon Realm is vast, and no one knows how big it is. It is said that there are countless powerful monsters inside. Fortunately, the powerful monster lives in the depths of the forest, and within five kilometers of the outside of the forest, there is absolutely no monster to be found.

Most of the Duchy of Terran is a plain, and it also has a fine iron mine. The plain provides enough food, and fine iron can create weapons and armor. Half the output is handed over to the empire every year, and the remaining is enough for the three million people in Deran to have enough food and clothing. It can also produce 200 sets of armor and weapons every year. Among the many Principalities, it is quite rich.

Near the Magic Realm Forest, there is a large hill. The small village where Ferig is located is a small plain among the hills. Due to geographical conditions, it is impossible to cultivate here. Compared with the villages in the south, this place is richer.

Although the forest in the Demon Realm is dangerous, it not only contains various rare birds and beasts, but also a large number of strange flowers and plants. Of course, the most valuable one is the monster. The fur, magic core and even blood of the monster are very precious things, so it attracts a large number of warriors to come here to hunt every year.

In addition to these things, elemental ores can only be found in the forest of the Demon Realm. However, if you want to find elemental ores, you have to go deep into the forest of the Demon Realm for at least a few hundred kilometers. It is already the world of monsters. Even if it is just medium monsters and groups of high-level warriors, it is difficult to get any benefit. Moreover, if you want to find elemental ores, in addition to your own ability, it depends on luck.

Most of the village's income comes from providing services to these warriors entering the Demon Realm Forest. Entering the Demon Realm Forest is an extremely dangerous thing. Every year, at least half of the warriors will stay in the forest forever. Therefore, these warriors who are about to enter the forest will spend most of the gold coins.

If you die, what's the use of gold coins? These warriors are very clear about this. But the wealth in the forest is too tempting. If you are lucky, a trip to the Demon Realm will be enough for a warrior to use for the rest of his life. As for leaving a little gold coins, it is naturally to get a good omen. Dead people do not need gold coins. Warriors hope that when they return home with a full load, they can rest and make a good rest in the village.

There are no warriors in the small village, so no one will learn from those warriors entering the deep forest. Even if they need wood, they will only enter about two kilometers of the forest at most. No matter how deep the place is, they will never go in.

From the beginning of his memory, Felleg knew that he was different from others. As for where he was different, he couldn't explain clearly, but he was sure that he was definitely different from his friends.

The tricks that friends like to play, and Felleg felt bored, but he couldn't tell the tricks he liked. Whenever his friends were playing, he always sat quietly not far away and watched them play. He looked up at the sky, looked at the magic forest in the distance, or felt the fresh air and the breeze around him.

The fiery red sun wheel began to fall to the west, and the voices of the friends became farther and farther away. In the village to the north, smoke was curling, and it was the end of the day.

"Felig, go home for a meal." Under the hillside, Rossi, the third son of the neighbor's house, shouted loudly, but without hesitation, followed the friends to the village. Ferrig stood up, patted the grass seeds on his butt, and walked slowly towards the village.

Like other families in the village, the Ferig family has a two-story wooden building, with a kitchen downstairs, a hall of more than 100 square meters, two bathrooms, and six rooms for Ferig's family to live in. The second floor is a guest room, with a total of eight rooms, which are not very large, but very clean.

Resno has a very good cooking skills, far better than his wife Emma. In addition, Emma is diligent and capable, so Resno's family's life is one of the best in the village.

Resno has three sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter Jons is 18 years old. He is gentle and kind and beautiful. He is attracted by Lord Virgis, a nobleman from Kuka town fifty kilometers away. He married into the town last year and became Lord Virgis' daughter-in-law, which made the whole village jealous. But Resno was not happy. It is said that Jons did not live happily in the Virgis house. Commoners would be more or less angry when they entered the noble family.

The eldest son Proluo was sixteen years old and his twelve-year-old second son Kava can already help the family work, which makes the couple much easier. Although there are only eight guest rooms in the family, the couple can't be busy at the peak of April to October every year.

The third son, Ferig, is only six years old this year, and is six years short of his second brother. The villagers often use this to joke about Resno and his wife being the old horses, but he never cared about it, but his wife often blushed at it.

Fellig was unique when he was born, not crying loudly like other children. After birth, he would never cry unless something happened, and most of the time, he was always awake, rather than ordinary babies, and had to sleep for more than ten hours a day.

What makes the couple happy is that although Ferig is unique, he is very healthy, not only healthy but also very smart. When other children of the same age can only speak simple words, Ferig can already speak clearly and express his meaning clearly.

Although Filigo spoke early, he rarely spoke. The couple soon discovered that Filigo was really different from other children. From his mouth, it was really surprising that you could hardly hear those childish and ridiculous words. However, it was missing the innocence and cuteness of children, which disappointed the couple. Fortunately, in the third year, Filigo's sister Jenny was born, diverting their attention.

It's easy to say that the most headache for the two of them is that Ferig has been unsociable since childhood. Unlike those annoying children, Ferig is very popular with everyone, whether it is an adult in the village or a child of the same age as him. Unfortunately, Ferig always watches them play from a distance, but never wants to participate.

Four-year-old Jenny sat in the arms of her mother Emma, ​​Resno sat in the first place, looked at his wife and children, and said softly: "Children, there is a distinguished guest in our family today, so don't make a loud noise."

"Father, what kind of guest is it?" Ferleg asked. Both brothers were helping at home, so they naturally knew that the whole family had only been out for one day.

"Is a noble magician." Proud whispered, his face full of pride, pride and infinite admiration.

Filig was stunned. This was really an amazing guest. The entire Duchy of Terran has a population of more than three million, but there is not even a magician. Even the powerful Auckland Empire has only more than one thousand two hundred magicians. The dignity of magicians is not only because of their small number, but also because of their strength. Therefore, any magician is a nobleman, and at least has a title of Count or above.

"What kind of person is a magician?" Feleg's heart was full of curiosity.

"It's... old man..." Four-year-old Jenny clapped her hands and said with a smile.

"No nonsense." Resno and his wife scolded at the same time, while Jenny looked puzzled and wronged. The magician was the old man, and she would never read it wrong.

"She didn't say nonsense, I'm indeed an old man." With the sound of the wooden staircase, the old man wearing a magical robe in black and holding a three-foot-long staff slowly walked downstairs. The wrinkles on his face made people unable to guess his practical age, and his voice was low and hoarse.

Walking through the corner of the stairs, Ferlig saw it clearly. In the middle of the black magic robe, there was a burning flame. On the chest of the upper left corner, there were four green and unknown leaves embroidered. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a real leaves that were pasted on it.

Resno stood up first, and the others also stood up. Ferge followed the two brothers, stood up, stroked his right hand to his left chest, bowed to ninety degrees, and gave a deep bow. This was the etiquette performed by the common people to the nobles. Of course, this was not the etiquette that respected the most. However, using it during meals was enough to show respect and admiration for the magician.

"No need to be polite." The old magician leaned forward gently, as a gift. With his identity as a magician, he could completely ignore the salute of the civilians, but he gave the Landis family enough respect.

"Dear Beca Magician, what can I do for you?" Resno asked, with a look of surprise on his face. The magician checked in this morning and had not walked out of the room before. Even for dining, he was sent to the room by his eldest son. It was already late now, but he appeared downstairs for some reason.

"Mr. Landis, I hope to know this little kid." The magician Beca pointed at Ferieg and said.
