The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 912: Fearlessness and Longing

Fern is a teenager from Hof ​​Village, an unknown village in the south of the Abarut Empire.

When he was six years old, he went to the town with his father, a woodcutter, to test his initial mental power: 13 points.

This is a very good initial mental power value. In the Abarut Empire, or in the entire wizard world, the minimum initial mental power standard for apprentices recruited by major holy towers and magic academies is 10 points of mental power.

The initial mental power of 13 points has given Fern a good start.

But despite this, Fern has been picking up firewood with his father for two years, and only when he was eight years old did he wait for the airship from a distant large city.

This airship is carrying Fern to the magical and magnificent magic world.

What is magic?

‎​​‎‎‏‎‎‎‎‏‎‏‎When Fern, a young boy, asked his parents this question, his father, who could not read a few words, trembled and could not answer Fern's question at all.

Similarly, Fern's mother, as well as his three older brothers and sisters, and two younger brothers and sisters, could not answer Fern.

Children of the poor grow up early, and Fern, who was only eight years old, had already realized the difficulties of life.

He was eager to learn the legendary magic just to improve his family.

But how much success can Fern, who doesn't even know the most basic words, achieve in the future when he goes to the magic academy?

This is a question.

Of course, Fern, who was born in the Abarut Empire, is also luckier than the lower-class civilians in other parts of the wizard world.

Because only the Abarut Empire has created a craze for universal magic.

In other regions of the wizard world, magic is the patent of the aristocracy.

(ps: Only the threshold of fighting spirit is a little lower. Even if you are born in the common people, if you are lucky, you can get a rough practice method.

Magic is still too expensive after all, and some aristocratic families can't afford it.)

Fern, who walked out of the mountain village, saw a big city with towering walls for the first time, and also saw a magical creation such as a floating ship that was beyond his imagination for the first time.

When Fern was riding on the airship, deep in the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters, he felt as if he was dreaming.

Not only Fern, but almost all the civilian magic apprentices on this airship looked like this.

Only a few magic apprentices from ordinary small noble families looked at this group of "country bumpkins" with contempt and disgust. Because of their family background, those small nobles had more or less contact with the magic world before, but it was extremely limited.

Otherwise, they would not have gone to the Imperial Public Magic Academy to study, but would have gone to the Holy Tower Academy long ago.

Sean originally planned to rob people, and never considered robbing the students of the Holy Tower Academy. This was purely against the rules of the Holy Tower.

If some of these magic apprentices from the Imperial Public Academy were robbed, even if the matter was exposed in the end, the Magic Empire would not necessarily trouble Sean.

Anyway, they have many apprentices.

Besides, there are tall people to support the sky when it falls.

Isn't there a level 5 magician Dark Fire up there!

Who made the Dark Fire build the Holy Tower so badly? Sean had no choice but to resort to this trick.

<‎​​‎​‏‎‏​‎‏​‏‏‏p>Sean, who turned into a fire giant, attracted Fern's attention since he appeared on the airship.

As a young boy, he was not as fearful and in awe of Sean as the honorable first-level magician Boss.

Instead, he stared at Sean with longing and curiosity.

This was a young and energetic look, a look that was fearless of the future.

I don't know what the fire giant talked about with Boss magician. After a moment, Boss magician nodded dejectedly.

In contrast, the fire giant stuffed a space ring into Boss magician's hand.

Looking at Boss magician holding the ring tightly in his right hand, Fern remembered the look of his father when he found a piece of Codonopsis in the mountains half a year ago. At that time, his father also held the piece of Codonopsis tightly.

Then, the fire giant removed the flames around him and finally turned into a handsome magician in a black robe.

Because Fern was short and close to him, the little guy roughly saw his face.

After the fat man Boss walked away, the little guy couldn't help asking: "Respected Master, are we going to learn magic next?"

...

"Respected Master, are we going to learn magic next?" A childish voice came from the lower right of Sean.

When Sean communicated with Boss before, except for some extremely sensitive content, most of the other conversations were completed with language communication, and no deliberate arrangement of the barrier was made.

This little boy with chestnut short hair was the only one on the entire airship who dared to approach Sean and the others, and even took the initiative to talk to them in the end.

In the clear and transparent eyes of this little guy, Sean read the fearlessness and vision of the future.

Sean, who had just negotiated a deal, was obviously in a good mood at this time.

He smiled and said, "Yes, kid, we will go to Santa Academy to study next."

"Santa Academy? Isn't it the Imperial Public Academy?" Fern asked with some curiosity.

After a period of contact with other magic apprentices on the airship, Fern, who was not shallow in mind, knew some differences between the Imperial Public Magic Academy and Santa Academy.

Even this kid, by trying to please another female magic apprentice from a small noble family, learned some words in advance.

"Yes, Saint Tower College, you will arrive soon, no more than three months at most." Sean said firmly.

[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanently operated source change app as soon as possible. ]

"Will we come back in the future? I miss home a little."

"But the respected Master Boss said that we may have to learn magic in that strange place for decades." The little boy couldn't help asking.

Sean pondered for a moment and replied: "Yes, as long as you successfully become a formal magician, you can go anywhere, and no one will stop you."

Sean's answer made Fern's little face condense a smile.

This child from an ordinary civilian family even saluted Sean very sensibly.

This is the aristocratic etiquette of the Abarut Empire. I don't know which little girl this kid learned it from, and it's quite good.

After finishing the conversation with Fern, Sean snapped his fingers, and the little fox girl Ai Jieli walked out of the space equipment, and a large flying carpet over 100 meters long appeared under everyone's feet.

"Take these children to our airship docked in the border area of ​​the Abarut Empire."

"Remember to be concealed. If there is any emergency, contact me as soon as possible." Sean turned his head and said to the little fox girl.

After the little fox girl nodded obediently, Sean turned again and said to the fat man Boss with an envious face: "Let's go and take a look at the next place."

"I need more apprentices than this."

Perhaps he had a little affection for the little boy who took the initiative to talk to him just now, Sean casually threw a magic coin from his magic sleeve robe and threw it to the little boy in front of him.

Looking at the little guy's stunned look, Sean smiled and said: "Little guy, work hard, I believe you can achieve your wishes in the future."
