Chapter 1 Awakened Teenager! Magician, the power of blood!
Red Copper Mine No. 3, the mining area of Kolorin Town, in the south of the Kingdom of Aiqi.
"Daw... And this piece should be enough..."
In the depths of the mine, Ai Lin, who was soaked with sweat, grasped the iron braze in his hand, supported the body that was about to fall, and gasped.
This is a thin and weak teenager. A slightly green and immature face is covered with dirt, but the eyes under the thick ink-like eyebrows are particularly bright. Even if he gritted his teeth and stared at the ore in front of him at this time, it is still shining with sunshine and optimism.
"Bastard, I really can't do it. That's all!"
Suddenly, a decisive look flashed through his eyes.
"Whal!" With a heavy roar, all his attention was focused on his hands. At the moment when there seemed to be many invisible particles in the air gathered in his hand, he suddenly waved the iron brace again and smashed it down!
"Dang!"
A mass of sparks splashed.
The crumbling ore on the mine wall finally fell down.
"Look at the power of my awakening, I finally dug enough ore, ha..."
First, Ai Lin's proud cheers broke out in the dark mine.
Then there was a scream from him, "Ah! My feet! It hurts!"
A faint laughter soon came from the mine in the distance: "Ai Lin, a little guy, was accidentally hit in the foot by the ore he pried."
"Haha, it's the third time this month. Two more times can break last month's record."
"Can't you be more careful? It actually hit your own foot again."
......
When dusk came, a thin figure appeared at the exit of the mining area. He was covered in stinky sweat and was so tired that he could not straighten his body. Ai Lin, whose arms were almost hung on the ground like soft noodles, limped out of the mining area, returned to the dilapidated Corolin town, and walked into the only hospital in the town, Aunt Emma. Medical center.
"Aun aunt Emma, I'm coming."
"Little Ailin, the old liar is still the same. Isn't he dead yet?" Generally, people in the town start with such a sentence when greeting him, and Aunt Emma greets him today.
"I also want him to die, but he just lives well."
"If you hadn't bought him medicine and kept him, he would have died for so many years."
"But you can't watch him die, can you?"
"So why do you want him to die... Well, what's wrong with your feet? Didn't I remember that you were fine when you came yesterday? Did you hit your foot again today?
"Cough...cough...it's not true, the old injury relapses...the old injury relapses..."
With a depressed and ashamed face, Ai Lin walked out of the hospital with a bag of medicine and said, "Is the old liar still the same?" Little Ailin, you accidentally hit your foot again. Remember to be careful next time." In the voice of concern, he returned to his home.
His home is under a dirt slope in the south of the town, and there is a small yard surrounded by bamboo fences.
When Ai Lin pushed open the squeaky courtyard door, an old man with white hair was sitting at the simple stone table in the yard.
The old man is tall, but he looks sick, and his skin is covered with traces left by various years. He looks very old. His clothes, like Ai Lin, are modified with mineral cloth bags that can no longer be seen in their original color. The difference is that his clothes are still relatively clean.
"Haha..." As soon as he saw Ai Lin's limping, the old man was stunned and immediately held his stomach and smiled so much that his body cring: "It's really inevitable..."
"Where did you get out? It's time to take medicine!"
Ai Lin threw the medicine bag into the arms of the gloating old man, and then sat down, regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not. He picked up a hard loaf of bread on the stone table and gnawed it up. At the same time, he muttered depressedly, "There is less and less ore in the mining area, and now it is more and more difficult to mine ore."
"But I have woke up. Even if it is more and more difficult to mine in the future, there should be no problem to feed the two of us." After nibbling two mouthfuls of bread, the depressed look on Erin's face swept away again, and he became a little proud.
"What a strange thing. It's worthy of the guy I took so many years to find. I can still be so happy and optimistic in such an environment."
The old man squinted his eyes and smiled. He looked at Ai Lin's soft hands that could not be lifted up and said, "It seems that you can't help using your magic power today, but I remember I have told you many times that when both physical strength and spirit have reached the limit, no matter how strong you move your magic power, it will cause heavy your body. Heavy burden, in serious cases, it is possible to die.
"It's not to support yourself and you, an old liar..." Ai Lin snorted disapprovingly, "And it's just used occasionally."
"Well, a strange teenager. Now that you have woked up, you have done it to this extent again. The old man smiled and said, "It's time to tell you the truth."
Ai Lin looked at the old man: "What's the truth? Are you going to die?"
"Bastard... Do you want me to die so much?"
"That's not true. I will be worried that I can't afford the cemetery."
"You guy, listen to me now. My test and trial for you are over. You can prepare to go to Holy Dawn College tomorrow.
"Test and trial? Cough..." Erlin choked on the dry bread and had a wild cough. Old liar, what the hell are you trying to say?"
The old man looked at Ai Lin and said, "Well, let's start with the name 'old liar'. Why do you call me an old liar?"
"That's because when I picked you seven years ago, you kept saying that you would teach me how to become a powerful magician, but in seven years, you were just lazy and didn't teach me any training methods. That's why everyone is used to calling you an old liar. Ai Lin also glanced at the old man and said depressedly, "It seems that you really have a problem with your brain today. You actually asked me such a question."
The old man smiled and said, "But since you say I'm a lazy old liar, why don't you throw me away?"
"If you are thrown away, no one will support you. Even if you pick up the cat and the dog, you can't throw it away casually. Let it starve to death, right?"
"You idiot actually compares me to a cat and a dog." The old man shook his head helplessly, "Have you ever thought about the title of Corolin Town in the south? The forgotten abandoned town! Since the cololin iron ore was mined, there are only a few barren red copper mines left here, which is a territory that even the most lame lords are unwilling to choose. Only some old miners and old townspeople who can't make a living outside will choose to stay here. Even a homeless beggar and an old man will not come here through the desolate abandoned mining area, right? And it's going to be a cold and snowy night!"
......
Night has come, and the stars are shining.
The half-section bag fell off Ai Lin's mouth.
"It makes sense." Ai Lin stared at the old man who seemed to be a little different from usual. "Are you serious, Old Kings?"
"You can also see that I'm serious, otherwise you won't call me Old Kings, but only call me an old liar."
"Are you really a magician?" Ai Lin said to himself in disbelief, and then shook his head again: "It's impossible! Conspiracy, there is absolutely conspiracy. If you really want to teach me to become a powerful magician on the continent of Dorast as you said, why don't you teach me how to train the body and martial arts in the past seven years?
"Because there is one more basic thing that determines the strength of the magician from the beginning."
"Such the most basic thing is the power of blood!"
A proud look appeared on Old Kings' face, and his tone was unconsciously more and more exciting and fanatical: "The pure giant's blood is born with amazing physical strength and infinite strength. Pure orc bloodline, born with the power of madness, with incredible instant explosive power! Pure elf bloodline, extremely agile, moving like the wind, and is born with a high degree of concentration, and the use of magic is far beyond ordinary people. As for all kinds of dragon blood, the strength of the body and the skills that can be used are even more powerful!"
"In this case, you have told me more than 20 times in the past two months." Ai Lin's depressed voice sounded: "And what does it have to do with me? I'm just an ordinary human bloodline. It seems that you are very ill. It's time to take the medicine.
"You idiot!"
Although it is very clear that Erin is a strange teenager who cannot be inferred from common sense, the impassioned story was interrupted by such a sentence like Erin, and Old Kings can't help spitting blood: "I have also told you many times that the power of all kinds of blood is equivalent to all kinds of additional talents. Although the pure human bloodline There is no unique blood power, but it integrates best with other bloodlines! After the Battle of the Dragon, many powerful pure bloodlines have become less and less, and many bloodlines have fused many times. Up to now, the power of blood has not even been obvious. In the case that most magicians do not have a particularly strong blood force from the beginning, a magician with strong blood power from the beginning is naturally easy to stand out in such an era!"
"But does this really have anything to do with me..." Ai Lin's weak voice sounded again.
Old Kings couldn't help it and said angrily, "Can't you think about it a little? Speaking of which, I still don't understand. In the past seven years, the hard life I have brought to you, including some stories I told you, what I have seen and heard, are all my training for you. Every small molecule in your body is already in a state of extreme hunger and thirst when you don't get enough nutrients for a long time and are extremely tired every day. So you are thinner and weaker than your peers, you look two years younger than them, and you didn't wake up until this age, but because of this, if your body absorbs the power of other blood, it will be many times better than ordinary people!"
Ai Lin suddenly looked cheerful: "I see."
Old Kings exhaled, thinking that Erin would finally say what he wanted to say next.
"I see!" But Erin's next sentence almost made him faint: "Oldkins, you pervert! You not only cheat the feelings of children, but the only thing you have done in the past seven years is to destroy the children's bodies!"
