It's still dark; the sun hasn't been seen yet. The cold wind blew from the Forbidden Forest, making the Begonia City residents even more sleepy. Everyone tightened the quilt to survive the freezing air.
But in the heart of the Whispering Forest, a military group paced back and forth among the rustling shadows of pine trees. The sky was clear and cloudless, beginning to be dark blue, a sign that dawn was approaching.
Swish!
The three medium-sized spirit ships are all made of Padauk Wood, a unique wood with wood grain that looks beautifully glowing in the still dark sky. Those spirit ships shuttled over the border of the two empires. Qingchang and Zolia.
Now and then, spotlights from a height are emitted through the lush pine leaves. There is an important thing that concerns those people. The 100 military men, pacing on the outskirts of the forest, looked busy looking for something.
The dashing man was no more than 30 years old; it seemed he was the military group's commander.
He was wearing a black and white color uniform. Expert hands sewed the uniform with intricate details. On his shoulder is a symbol of rank, which explains that he is a Captain.
His body is tall. A hard look with plane shoulders aligned, wearing the uniform with a sword at the waist. His name is Captain Bao. He smelled the remaining burning dust on the grassy field - the dust of The Flame.
"It's not what I thought. There is no trace of magic or energy. It's not Phoenix dust." Captain Bao stopped the inspection.
"You'd better go. There is not the slightest trace left." He said while inviting the military group to move the search site more profoundly into the forest.
But the voice stopped him. Her voice was cold, no less than the coldness of the morning.
"Captain Bao. Have you reached the conclusion, where did the fugitive Phoenix go?"
The voice was familiar to Captain Bao's ears. "That magical woman again!" he complained lazily. He looked away. And he guessed right.
The female has as pale as the moon in winter. Her eyes were silver, similar to the eyes of a snowy mountain fox. Captain Bao is always uncomfortable every time he meets that woman.
Captain Bao frowned and greeted lazily. "Eve Whitehouse, a level two Pyromancer."
The Captain bowed low and saluted. His movements look lazy, different from a person complimenting. The two often meet on dangerous missions. And Eve has always been in controlling manner; this is what caused Captain Bao to dislike him.
Eve has always looked down on Captain Bao, who is not a sorcerer. Even though knight training was carried out with a wizard at the official imperial academy, he's a knight.
"What's wrong with Miss Eve, coming in the morning, right?" the Captain exchanged pleasantries.
Eve girl revealed a surprised mimic. She approached Captain Bao. "Come on, Captain. Isn't our coming the same?" It's just that you represent the military side while I describe the military sorcerer. We are both investigators."
The girl spoke domineeringly, not giving Captain Bao a chance to make a sound.
"Have you got any clues? Please tell me!" said Eve, Back domineering.
Captain Bao instantly lost his temper. This girl broke the boundary. She behaved as if it were Captain Bao's superior. The man already wanted to vomit at Eve's authoritarian style.
Captain Bao just shrugged. The answer is short. "I haven't found any clues yet. What about you? Did the group of pyromancers and others across the wall die from the phoenix fire?" he asked back.
Eve looked less than happy. "You don't want to share information while you're looking for information from me?" Eve's voice rose. She even added.
"All I heard was that crazy phoenix escaped from the magic prison while you were serving as a night watchman!" What I wonder is, why didn't anyone show up and help the elemental controllers?"
In this case, I became suspicious!" Eve's eyes sharply looked at Captain Bao.
Captain Bao flushed. "So you're accusing me of conspiring with the red Phoenix Clan?" Hoho... Be careful in speaking. I can accuse you back on the grounds of slander!"
Silence. Eve is indeed always looking for trouble with him. Captain Bao was furious.
Eve stringed a word, and Back threatened. "If only the Emperor knew that Phoenix ran away, he would have been furious. The plan to unite his power between Roc and with Phoenix failed already!" Eve looked at Captain Bao with a triumphant smile.
"Especially if the Emperor knows. The Phoenix disappeared and the Qingchang military did not move because of it. Well, maybe Kasiar will go berserk!" Eve's eyes flashed slyly.
"As far as I know, that Phoenix is being held in the magic prison of Spellhold. All the keys have been installed with spells and magic spells. How could it possibly escape? Do you think this is not sabotage?"
Eve fishing. She wanted to see Captain Bao's reaction.
Captain Bao was furious. His face flushed. I want it to feel like he slapped the magic woman's mouth. This is a hidden accusation.
While holding back anger, after taking a deep breath, Captain Bao spoke coldly. "On this matter, everything will be checked in accordance with military procedures. You don't have the right to throw just any accusations! Once again I reiterate. I can attack you back for this accusation."
Captain Bao left the heated talk. He deliberately bumped into Eve. Luckily Eve was sprightly. He shifted quickly and avoided the accidental collision.
Captain Bao glanced. His words were as cold as ice. "I'm sorry, I have to go. I still have a lot of business to do," he disappeared into the military crowd. We talked for a while, and the group moved to search in the forest's depths. The field was considered clear of traces of the Phoenix.
Eve, she stood alone. He stared at Captain Bao's departure with hatred.
"I'm really not with the Qingchang people. They are just pretending to be subservient to our Hersen Empire! Just look at it later, I will open that Captain Bao's do in the future!"
++++++
Wake up! Kiran was taken aback. Kora Wang shouted in his ear.
His dream was interrupted already. Kiran dreamed he saw a blinding reddish light burning his body. It hurts, but afterward, he becomes a substantial figure. It was his wish. But that sweet dream is now shattered.
"Kiran! It was 20:00. You slept more than half a day." Hurry up and clean your body. I don't know what activities you did the night before; what must be now is that you look messy!" Kora Wang rebuked him once again.
Kiran shuffled to his feet, looking for the remnants of water and then cleaning his body. Inexplicably he felt a lot of mucus-like dirt on his skin. Smelly and disgusting.
"What happened to me?" thought Kiran.
But his uneasiness was only a moment. He recalled that briefly, the night was Mr. Niraj Singh's performance
"In Brimm The Liquidator, the Storyteller will perform. I have to hurry up if I don't want to miss the legend."
The fairy tale brought by Mr. Niraj Singh he has heard dozens of times. But inexplicably. Kiran and his friends always came in secret to listen to the repetition of the story. "It's the story of heroism that keeps me inspired. I want to be a Sage like Sage Alaric. Later Kiran walks around with a smile.
Brimm The Liquidator looms in sight.
Kiran hurriedly docked at the window on the West side, joined by three other children, Ming, Kai, and Avena. "Has it started?" asked Kiran.
The three comrades glanced for a while. Avena handed Kiran the item that the game made yesterday. "Take it. I'm tired of playing with your necklace. Now we focus on hearing the Storyteller's history!" said Ave, pointing to the wine house.
From inside, the voice began to chant, melodious like the blowing of a flute.
Sage Alaric escaped a snow-white sword. He waved his sword, slamming at the black wizard. The black wizard is terrified; he intends to run for fear of the Sage's sword!"
All took a look. "Isn't the story different? This wasn't the story back then!"
The sound from inside the wine house grew louder. "The fierce battle ended thunderously,
when Sage Alaric and his Phoenix became winners. The black man died, and the country lived Sentosa forever!"
The whole room of Brim the Liquidator became excited. All the listeners in the drinking house choked up.
Niraj Singh, the Storyteller, deliberately changed the storyline of history! It should be the Warlock who won the battle, Emperor Hersen.
"The storyteller is not afraid of death!"
"He really dared to change his fairy tale."
Terrified visitors rushed to leave Brim the Liquidator. No one wants to get involved and be labeled a rebel by the authorities. But Niraj Singh kept singing. Now the louder and louder the voice. Many people began to gather, hearing his fictional story. All applauded.
And sure enough!
Soon searchlights were shot from space. This made the wine house brightly lit.
Things got shaken. But Niraj Singh doesn't seem to care. His voice grew louder. He sang the lyrics that changed his history.
"Shut up!"
The pale-haired woman stood at the door of Brimm the Liquidator. His cold face shone on Niraj Singh, who seemed unconcerned, still reflecting on the upside-down contents.
Eve Whitehouse waved goodbye. The red mist came out of his hand, spreading with deadly heat. Niraj Singh did not flinch in the slightest. He is not afraid of fire. Eve Whitehouse glared, wanting it to feel like it burned the storyteller man to the ground.
Unfortunately, the laws in the territory of the Hersen Empire and its colonies were stringent. It is not allowed to kill just anyone, especially in public places.
There have been too many complaints from the Hersen colony, which complained about the arbitrary actions of Hersen's officers. This made the Emperor worry that there would be another rebellion.
Eve Whitehouse began to lose her temper. But The movement was faster. Her figure
punched Niraj Singh in the stomach.
BOOM!
The [Storyteller hit the wall, drooping and losing consciousness. The figure who punched him was Captain Bao.
From behind the night in the right-hand side window, Kiran and his friends stared unblinkingly at all the action. He was amazed by Eve Whitehouse's magic and also surprised by the combat action of the handsome man in military uniform.
Eve Whitehouse squashed sharply into the west corner window. The eight pairs of eyes ducked at the look in Eve's eyes. The female looked like a queen of fire.
"He's a Pyromancer!" Kiran hissed. If we don't leave now, we might end up in jail. The most apparent accusation is the act of spying; Kiran rushed afterward; he still wants to witness those heroic acts. But his fear of prison, made him have to leave.
CONTINUED.
Kiran and his friend take a thousand steps – Bolted like a deer – and they disappear in the dark of night. At Brimm, the Liquidator, Eve Whitehouse, cast a cold gaze at the window where they had been peeking.++++++Avena, Kai, and Ming ran toward the left, and Kiran continued to run on the rocky road.Kiran also disappeared at the crossroads; he ran fast with his chest pounding. He didn't even feel that he had traveled a long distance in the blink of an eye. He had been hiding under an uncomfortable rough blanket in his cramped room just now.Kiran couldn't fall asleep. His eyes opened wide, looking at the hollow ceiling of the room!He imagined the cold gaze of the pale, white-haired woman just now. The aura emanating from the Pyromancer seemed capable of killing him, even with a look. For some reason, something in his mind made him dislike the Pyromancer earlier. But he tried to ignore it.Ultimately, the drowsiness came, and he fell asleep and forgot about the thrilling events in
Begonia City went into an uproar. The mysterious group's battle action attracted attention. But they are afraid. Who would dare to get close to an Elemental Control Guild fighting like that? If one gets hit by a target shot, one's life might be wasted.People were busy running to save themselves, avoiding the chaos. Some fell, and a group of panicked visitors even trampled some. Luckily there were no casualties in the incident.Everyone was seen without a cloak; no one wore a hooded cloak like the first time the people gathered in the square.And far above the stage, Niraj Singh had completely disappeared, disappeared with the mysterious group.Captain Bao stood with his hands on his hips in the middle of the field. With a sour face, he raised his sword high into the sky, then shouted with a great voice. His voice resounded across the sky of the town square."Everyone, please calm down. Don't make meaningless noises, which will add to the chaos. The military will take strict action ag
Someone stopped Kiran's daydream. "Mother?" Kiran was surprised when Kora Wang tapped him on the shoulder"What are you doing here?" her gaze was curious."Let's go home! It's already afternoon. I don't want to be whipped just for waiting for you to chat here. The curfew will take effect soon!" Kora Wang was very firm. The children dispersed.Kiran walked hurriedly; his mother returned his hand to their small house. On the way to the house, not only the two of them were seen walking fast. Many people going back and forth were also in a hurry to return to their homes before the curfew was enforced. No one wants to be whipped, in the town square, with thousands of townspeople watching. It's too embarrassing!Kiran pulled the rough blanket up to his neck. He's looking for warmth. For some reason, since Avena had said that the enchantment candidate was selected, they had to move to Shanggu City, to that famous magic academy. Kiran shivered nervously. It was not bear to be separated from h
Dozens of children participating in the talent audition line up neatly under the podium. In his uniform, an officer was a military man passing out serial numbers to go on stage to take the aptitude test guided by Zetta Mui - a fortune teller girl.Kiran got serial number 12."This is a number that does not indicate fortune but is also not unlucky.Hopefully, I pass the audition later," thought Kiran, his face sullen. The number three is a lucky number for Kiran.In the Qingchang Empire, At this time, the people believe in mystical things. So whatever it is, it is always associated with bad luck or not. From numbers or days, even months, they always believe there are lucky times and unlucky times for certain numbers. This month, the number three is a favorite number.The town square is getting busier.After all the auditionees received their queue numbers, Zetta Mui invited them to the stage in number order."First sequence!"Before anything else happened, a great roar was heard, and t
Kiran's heart beat wildly! The railings of the short steps leading to the podium feel like a long hallway leading to the death chamber.Kiran was filled with insecurity and worry that his talent test results would lead to disappointment.Kiran trembled."Calm down, little brother. Take a deep breath and touch the magic brush.Now!" Zetta tried to persuade him.Kiran became confident.Inexplicably, Zetta's gentle and kind voice made his mind clear.Zetta urged."Let's start with one brushstroke on the surface of the canvas, and it's all done!" Zetta commanded, now her tone commanded. That hesitant attitude made her lose her temper quickly."Good luck!" Kiran closes his eyes, pumping up his spirits, and unexpectedly, she waves goodbye, mimicking Zetta's dramatic gestures.Whoa!That magic ink liquid fully stained the entire surface of the canvas. Everyone in the square was wide-eyed.Kiran is careless!He should have swept the brush for just a few drops, but in Kiran's hand, the magic p
The sun shines directly overhead. A breeze blew. The leaves of Cherry Blossom fall to the ground. A lonely heart accompanied the child; he left his old house in a slum.Two people stood in front of the house. They waved goodbye, the man sitting on the chair, almost like an undead. The female occasionally wiped away the tears on her cheeks.There's no need to be romantic when facing a breakup. Kiran was sad. But his dream must be realized. Become a sorcerer - illusion weaver is a one-way ticket out of the hard life as it is now.Swallows fly on the horizon. Kiran looked up at the sky, sighing deeply."I have to be tough. This is the path to success. In the future... if it succeeds later, my parents will be brought to Shanggu City. Kiran also sturdy stepped up for sure."Begonia City will be a thing of the past. Shanggu City is the future." He said steadily.That afternoon Kiran arrived at Begonia City station. The Gate of Happiness is its name. Few intercity public vehicles pass by. Th
The housekeeper's ghost escorted Kiran and Chen to their room.The winding hallway, full of handmade pottery decorations, seems to decorate the sandalwood display table. A fragrant fragrance wafted. The rigid walls, full of ornaments of legendary creatures, expertly carved, make Kiran feel as if he is walking in a passage of time, penetrating the space of the past when the world was still filled with legendary creatures.Elvira, the housekeeper's female ghost, escorts Kiran to a separate room from Chen."Can't we have a room?" Kiran was taken aback."It's important for you to share a room because our backgrounds are from the same city. This will make it easier for us to adjust in this Institute." Kiran quibbled, half-pleading.Elvira replied with a sweet smile. But it looks scary. Her voice seemed to come from a different world. A distant world in the valley of darkness."Darling. I don't want the principal to scold me. All were arranged and obtained her approval. You don't know what
Hall of the Magentum Institute - Shanggu City.Lunch went quickly. All are enthusiastic about the student club member selection event. Kiran and his tablemates have been making everything slippery ever since. The housekeeper worked dexterously, cleaning up all the mess.They work magically. The ghosts and the Elves snapped two fingers, and the dirty and leftover dishes disappeared instantly from the table. Awesome!New students applauded in praise. Of course, those amazed students, those who are not from the wizarding family. The table in Kiran's group is one of them. The four teenagers clapped loudly.The seniors of the Institute just looked away lazily. It was nothing special in their eyes.But beyond that, there are three pairs of eyes of first-year students and first-graders. They looked at their comrades with a sneer. They even showed lazy faces blatantly.Some got angry. Lila is one of them."Who are they? It's so arrogant. It's as if all those miracles are commonplace for them.
