2023-08-31 20:48:42Begonia 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 against the intruders earlier" his face was bright red. He was furious.
Meanwhile, the military also looks helpless. The people of Begonia Town, who were attending the execution in the square, were too numerous and difficult to control.
Captain Bao's loud voice was of no use. The situation is still chaotic.
Kiran observes all that from the shade of the trees outside the Begonia town square. Secretly he was happy, and his idol storyteller was safe.
His eyes glanced mischievously, looking for Avena, Kai, and Ming in case his three friends crossed before his eyes. He wanted to express his joy and share his relief with his three friends who thought the same as him. They are supporters of Niraj Singh.
On the other hand, the people of Begonia City mostly thought the same as Kiran. Although a group among the townspeople sided with the puppet government Qingchang, more people liked it and were pro with disruptive action.
Kiran made a mental note. Satisfied faces were painted on the faces of some visitors when the government side and the white-haired witch lost badly against the 4 magicians, presumably from the Phoenix Clan earlier.
"I'm not alone. Many people in Begonia City support Niraj Singh," thought Kiran happily.
The sky was still cloudy, as the sun was directly overhead. The wind blew gently, but the commotion was still heard, resounding in the Begonia Town square.
The atmosphere was still a little chaotic, the noise of voices complaining because they were injured, resulting from the jostling to save themselves earlier. Suddenly, there was the sound of an explosion.
Boom!
The ground shook, and the sky turned a yellowish red. Flames flared from Eve Whitehouse's hands as they all stared at the stage. The magical girl demonstrates her skills, scaring the people who don't have magic skills.
The noise immediately changed, silenced for a moment. Everyone was afraid to see the fire demonstration that the woman was showing.
Kiran sneered inside.
"She just dared to show her skills to weaklings like us.
But when faced with fellow Enchantment Energy cultivators from the Phoenix Clan, she looked weak. Doesn't have any special ability," Kiran snorted coldly.
According to him, the appropriate words addressed to Eve Whitehouse are; bullshit destroys the country, but real action builds the country - Kong tan wu guo, shi gan xing bang!
After witnessing the incident just now, Kiran despised Eve Whitehouse's abilities in his heart.
After things became quiet, the White House was seen starting her oration.
"Dear Begonia townspeople.
Representing the government of the Hersen Empire, I, as a result of this, announce" a brief pause, glancing left and right, trying to be dramatic.
The white hair continued...
"Starting tonight, there will be a full curfew in Begonia City. This is an emergency. The rebel from the Phoenix Clan earlier apparently has a base in this City. No one is allowed to leave the house after 18:00.
The violator will be punished appropriately, perhaps whipped in the city square! The military will watch and keep watch in every corner of the City and take action!"
The noise returned, buzzing like bees flying across the town square as people whispered. Everyone sounded disgruntled. This decision is considered excessive.
"What if we have a business that operates when the sun goes down? I'm a food vendor!" The man asked in a loud voice from a corner of the square. He even openly showed his face, not covering or disguising his face with a hood.
Eve Whitehouse snorted coldly. Her voice resounds, no less hard.
"This is an order according to the instructions bestowed from the central government of the Hersen Empire.
No tolerance at all. All violators of this provision were subject to flogging in the city square. Even the whole town of Begonia is watching" She ended her sinister speech dramatically. Her cold gaze swept across the square in the square.
Silence, silence.
After successfully conquering the entire City, Eve Whitehouse continued her authoritarian oration.
"Tomorrow at 09.00, all children under 15 must gather in the town square for the talent scouting ceremony.
Free city residents can witness the crowd, provided they cannot wear face coverings. The examination will be strictly carried out later."
Eve Whitehouse waved dramatically. She walked in long strides down from the podium. The sound of his boots reverberated throughout the Begonia City square. Captain Bao walked hurriedly following the quick steps of the Witch woman.
Away at the podium...
Everyone dispersed immediately, accompanied by grumbling sounds and disgruntled chatter heard everywhere. The imposition of this curfew is not liked.
But no one dared to refute the imperial emissary magician Hersen who looked authoritarian and ruthless.

At 03.00 pm, Kiran was ordered by his mother to change his clothes.
"Put on a fast prayer robe. We are going to the Temple of the GodsTempest to burn offerings and worship God.
Tomorrow is the ceremony to determine your future. As a mother, I wish the best for you," Kora Wang's voice was soft. Not loud as usual.
"Let's ask the gods for a blessing, for a miracle to happen, and you can show some talent; he was chosen to be part of the charm control masters.
I'm sure God will not close his eyes after seeing our family's suffering for so long," said Kora Wang. She was reminded again of the death of her two children and her helpless husband in bed.
Kiran was shocked. Today his mother is very soft, not as hard as usual. It felt like a long time since Kora Wang had invited him to pray at the Tempestia temple.
But Kiran was happy inside. Apart from wanting to worship God, he also wanted to make a wish at the altar, asking for Tempestia's blessings and blessings so that he would pass the talent selection the next day.
+++
The Temple of Tempestia was located in the northern part of Begonia City. Mother and son walked on foot, not riding in a carriage like the rich or nobles.
Kiran stared at the Temple of the Tempestia God. The building looks tall and sturdy; now it is even glossy white; the front wall is full of white marble stones imported from the Mining City, namely Shanggu City, one of the major cities in the empireQinchang.
Inside the temple.
The young man looked pious as he bowed and burned incense. He wore a long white robe made of simple cotton fabric, which did not diminish his good looks. His shoulder-length hair was tied up, locked with a white ribbon the same color as his prayer robe.
There was no metal jewelry such as silver or gold as a headdress.
Kiran again bowed solemnly at the foot of the altar. He poked incense in a large sand barrel under the statue of the God of Tempestia - it was a statue of a stout man with a thunderbolt in his right hand and a sword in his left.
The God Tempestia statue looks beautiful, the work of a famous sculptor. The figure poses, looking up into the sky; a golden crown is on the head. He wore a long, carved robe lined and beautified with pure fine silk, golden yellow. God looks great.
Kiran muttered, uttering a prayer that only she himself knew.
Long time no prostration at the feetTempest, Kiran felt embarrassed when he had to pray to God, asking for blessings for impressed at the audition tomorrow. But he frowned, lost his sense of humor, showed down, and continued to pray fervently.
Someone hissed softly, giving the code to call Kiran.
He glanced. It was Avena complete with her two comrades, Cain and Ming. Avena opened her mouth, trying to code in unpredictable mouth movements. But Kiran understood.
He shuffled away from the altar, glancing briefly at his mother, who seemed to pray fervently, not realizing that the child had left.
Kai and Ming were waiting in the hall of the Avena worship temple. For some reason, Kiran saw the expressions of his 3 friends. It looked serious.
"Look, you three haven't seen each other for a while, asking to meet in secret as if we haven't seen each other in a long time," Kiran tried to joke, lightening the mood.
But the three friends did not smile, let alone laugh. Kiran turned serious.
"What the hell is it that you three look so serious."
Avena opened the conversation. She whispered hurriedly.
"I heard surreptitiously. The magic-gifted child from the talent test will be brought over tomorrow in Shangghu City. The magic academy over there is waiting for the talent instead of being trained in this small school in Begonia Town."
Kiran was stunned. This meant that Begonia City would have to be abandoned if he passed the aptitude test.
"Am I capable?" Kiran thought of his father and mother. Kiran felt his eyes warm.
Not to mention being declared passed the aptitude test, he had been moved.

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.

Dozens of children participating in the talent audition line up neatly under the podium.

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.

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.

The dinner was over, and the introduction to the club chairman was completed. Kiran returned to his room. But he keeps the secret of bagging 2 Aetherion Pills as promised to Yara - to keep this a secret, including to Chen, Kenji, and Lila."Look at it. We got a ration of resources, one Aetherion pill each. Great club, isn't it?" Lila said proudly. Two other boys also showed the resource, the Aetherion Pill.Seeing Kiran had only been silent since his arrival, Lila asked curiously."Wait a minute. Did the club paint you, not give a ration of resources?" Two other friends also stared curiously.In order not to cause misconceptions, Kiran showed a similar pill.The four then burst into laughter. Chen interrupted."I think... I almost suggested that you just change clubs!"That night, the four children became more intimate.

His figure in the Pyromancer's robe, the oppressive aura of a werewolf descendant, is deliberately released by Jasper – intending to frighten.Jasper stared at Kiran from head to toe. He spoke, trying to look friendly."Well, you are the weaver of illusions, just as your friend was excited." Jasper opened his mouth. He didn't want to point politely at Lila.

Finale
All evidence of the fight from the previous night was sealed on the chilly morning in the spruce forest when the wind rustled, bringing the snow flowers that dropped to the ground. As far as the eye can see, the landscape is now all white and gray.Roneko walks with Kiran as they stroll around the campsite. He kept asking the Kyuubi Roneko to tell him what had happened the previous night."Please tell me again, Roneko. Are you certain that the fire-phoenix figure is a representation of the powerful magic deed I performed?" Kiran did not give up.Roneko confirmed, a desperate look on his face and a smirk that showed the master never believed a word he said. Haven't you heard yourself, My Lord Kiran? Zephyr himself attests to your surprising golden Phoenix magic. So why ask the same question over and over again?"Kiran chuckled, still wearing a simple, disbelieving expression, "The issue is, I only rode once. With the Fire Peacock, even then. Not gold, but red is the color of the flames
Tragedy on the Horizon.
Minutes before the silver-eyed eagle left, after she received orders from the Nymph Leader, Roneko the Kyuubi had been watching the events between the silver-eyed and the Nymphs.While everyone was fixated on the battle on the horizon, the one between the Frost Giant - Ymir and the Golden Phoenix Silhouette, the Nymph Leader was trying to find an opportunity. He secretly summoned the silver-eyed eagle to inform the ruler of the Ice Palace of their dire situation.Who would have thought? From the Ternola Forest's side, Roneko watched all the happenings with great vigilance.When she saw the gray-colored light flashing from the Nymph's group, branching rapidly towards the horizon, it was at that moment that her figure wearing a red-colored dress also flashed, chasing after the Silver-Eyed Eagle.On the other hand, on the Nymph's side, such a crucial moment was not missed by the Nymph Leader.With eyes blazing, mouth wide open, she shouted frantically, "There's something red attacking th
The Story of the Miracle in the Fir Forest.
It was cold at night, and the wind was strong. There was a deep freeze in the Wonderland Realm, and there was a strange feeling in the air near the Spruce Forest.At the very moment that everyone in the Ternola Forest thought they were safe behind the magic mirror shield, a terrified cry rang out."Look! "The magic mirror is about to break!"Right away, things went from orderly to chaos.All the creatures that were protected by the magic of 100 Twilight Turtles became scared."Someone needs to do something! We'll all die if we don't!""Oh, is there still any magic power that can defeat that damned thing?"When Ymir's fist hit something, it made a loud noise, and the magic mirror's crackling sound scared everyone.In fear, they let out a roar, and then there was a sudden flight towards the crystal mirror, which was getting more and more cracked. It might even break soon."Who is it?""Where did that golden-colored figure come from?""The light of its body is dazzling!"All the people w
Ymir
Strings, strings, stringsThe harp strings tinkled softly as the Nymph Leader played strange notes on the strings. The other Nymphs looked sad and murmured as if they were singing with very low pitch and words. It gave everyone shivers."Damned magic!""They're summoning supernatural beings!"Fear crept up on the people who lived in the Ternola Forest.Right then, the sky on the horizon turned dark in an instant. There were black clouds in the sky that stopped the moonlight and starlight from falling to the ground.The air got colder all of a sudden. At the edge of the cypress forest, the still water looked like it was freezing as a cold wind filled the air.In the distance, you could hear footsteps. The sound was so loud that it made the ground shake, snowflakes fall, and water splashes fall right away.Press, press, press!From the north, everything watched with wide eyes."Ymir!" "Ice Giant!"Ymir was a mythical giant from Norse times. He was made of fire and ice and was very scary
Golden Flame Magic and Black Cloud Terror.
The golden-red flame that shot out of Kiran's body at that precise instant was not your typical flame, not one that could be ignited by a five-hundred-year-old Fire Peacock.Other species hardly ever saw this weird, perpetual glow. The color of the fire is gold.The first person to recognize this was Roneko, the fire chakra master Kyuubi. When the strangely hot light of immortality erupted from Kiran's flesh, she was the closest to him."Professor. This is fire that never goes out. Not a fire that a contract creature like a fire peacock might release." Roneko said, looking shocked.The monster that arose from Kiran's spirit was not a fire peacock, in Kyuubi's opinion.Roneko dared to confirm that, despite being a different species of bird, "it's not a peacock at all." What an odd bird. Unfortunately, Roneko reflected, that figure appears to be bound by a curtain of magic, which makes it look exceedingly enigmatic.Roneko heard Kiran's voice offering directions while he was still unsur
Chaos
Diolos the Pegasus felt drowsy all of a sudden that night as the cold seeped in through frost petals falling from the sky.He gave it some curious thinking. Diolos thought to himself, "I don't usually get sleepy so early in the night." Whining, he asked Kiran, who appeared to be experiencing sleepiness as well. The night sky served as his roof while he worked hard to spread out a sleeping mat beneath a fir tree.The whimpering voice of Diolos disturbed Kiran, and he chastised the Pegasus. "Slept on, Diolos. There's still a long way to go. This Wonderland Realm ends at the White Witch's Ice Palace. You'll require more stamina tomorrow." He gave his advise, and Kiran fell asleep almost immediately.His bed was the dried straw mat that was spun into a mat. Simultaneously, the down blanket—the most opulent piece of gear available at the time—attempted to shield every Ternola Forest species from the chilly night air. Although snowflakes started to fall from the sky that night, nobody's slu
Army of Mutant Nymphs.
This large area appeared appropriate for erecting a makeshift tent the night before the weird incident, when Kiran and his two groups came, along with Zephyr and the war party from the Ternola Forest.Zephyr firmly exclaimed, "We'll rest until morning, then continue our journey to the Northern Palace!""Finally resting too..." Zephyr, the war leader, gave the order, much to the relief of the members of the special warband.The military men of all the ethnicities quickly and deftly erected tents. On the other hand, others made meals, gave each combatant medicine, and provided water.There were ten animals each race, and each race had dedicated people who planned the accommodations.Food like that eaten by creatures outside the Realm is no longer of the utmost importance in the Ternola Forest of this Wonderland Realm, where miracles occur beyond logic and conventional sense.Every race in this Realm has a number of shamans with magical abilities that can turn botanical components into p
Mystery of the Silver Eye
Tet - tet - tet...The five hundred Silent Owl troops whistled a war song, producing a sound like a trumpet. It was intentional to purposely amplify the sound of these hundreds of Silent Owls flapping their wings, creating an echoing sound that made anyone who heard it shiver, much like thousands of dragonflies flying.The wind-controlling foxes appeared to clear the path by marching orderly through Ternola Forest, behind the troops as they walked on the snow-packed road, all while making their clomping footsteps audible. The Breeze Foxes occasionally whistled, and when the wind picked up speed, it blew the snowdrifts aside, revealing the route north and allowing the men to advance without difficulty.Thousands of creatures living in the Ternola Forest lined both sides of the road as they saw the magical beast army's procession, which resembled a human army march.A thousand troops of tiny beings known as Spark Sprites, who could conjure electric sparks, strode silently but with a for
Decision Day.
Kiran became a little uneasy as Zephyr explained the plot to overthrow the White Witch, the King of the Ice Palace, and organize an uprising."Do you men in this Ternola Forest have an army to attack the King? If so, are you soldiers with training?" Kiran asked a question that made sense. If there were no skills at all, wouldn't every resident of this Ternola Forest perish needlessly in a conflict, especially against a well-trained Royal army?Zephyr grinned and replied, "My dear friend Kiran, you need not worry," after hearing her remarks, which appeared apprehensive. We have multiple troops in this woodland, and they are all magically skilled. When you finally get to see them tomorrow, you'll be shocked.""Tomorrow?" Kiran inquired. "You will start the attack tomorrow?" With incredulity, he asked. Kiran's worry was visible on his face. These residents of Ternola Forest were careless and inconsiderate of their strength.Zephyr answered with the naiveté of a ten-year-old: "That's corr
