The whole world is God's help

Ash came to Derek's house.

When I walked in, I saw the village chief and Uncle Derek sitting on the sofa, looking down at something together.

The village head, Fan En, is not very old. He is of the same generation as Derek, and he was also in the hunting team before, but he has a broad vision, is fair in dealing with things, and is the most knowledgeable in the village. So after the death of the old village head a few years ago, , He was elected as the village head by the whole village.

He has soft blond hair, blue eyes, a non-aggressive and elegant appearance, and always has a gentle smile on his face. He is very popular with women both in and outside the village.In Derek's words, if this guy wasn't too stingy, he would be perfect.

However, Ash is more inclined to Derek, who is difficult to deal with at first glance, than Fann, whom everyone likes.

When facing Fan En, even though he knew that the village chief was a nice person, he couldn't help but get a chill down his back.

So he was confused, and he went to Derek immediately instead of the village chief Fann.

"Ash." The two people in the room heard the sound of the door opening and looked at him.Derek beckoned to him first, "Come here, there's some news, I think you'd like to know."

Ash's footsteps paused, and then walked over more quickly.

Not long after the night of the celebration, the village left the backbone of several hunting teams, and they only said that they were traveling merchants—this is normal, and the village will arrange people to go out every once in a while to buy and exchange various goods— — But Ash knew that this time was a little different. The team leaving the village not only had to buy supplies, but also had the task of scouting the surroundings.

Is there finally any useful news now?

"Sit and talk." Derek pulled Ash to sit on the other side of him, and let Ash look at something on the low table.

The metal base sits firmly on the table.On top of it is a transparent oval cover, which looks very hard.Inside the outer cover is a piece of brass the size of a goose egg, with strange patterns engraved on the surface of the brass.

In terms of craftsmanship, it is very delicate and delicate.

"This is a lamp." Derek lowered his voice, deliberately speaking mysteriously, "Crystal lamp, for lighting."

As he introduced, he reached out and touched a protruding button on the metal base.

Ash heard a slight "click", and then his eyes suddenly brightened—the pure white light lit up from the lampshade, penetrating the transparent shell without hindrance, the light was steady and soft.

There was no wick, no lamp oil, and no leather shade.

But like a lantern, no, ten times better than a lantern, it lights up.

"Magic..." Ash subconsciously pronounced this word, facing the existence far beyond his common sense, maybe only this word can explain everything.

"That's right." Derek snapped his fingers, "It's a lamp created by magic."

"Lannon specially sent it back." Fan En said, reaching out his hand to "click" to turn off the lamp, "Don't waste it, this one also uses 'lamp oil', which is said to be some kind of liquid prepared by alchemy, but we You can’t buy it here, once it’s used up, it’s just a decoration.”

"Smelting...gold?" Ash memorized the novel word.

"It's spread all over the larger towns outside. Magic, alchemy, etc..." Fan En sighed, "Our Duogu Village is too remote, and new news has to wait until it reaches here, at least half a year later than outside. It's a good arrangement Someone went out and took the initiative to inquire."

Since this summer, many strange faces have appeared in large towns near and far.

These strange faces claim that they come from outside the "Broken River Plain", are wizards, can use magical powers called "magic", possess dazzling magical items, and can cure stubborn diseases with just a bottle of potion. with terminal illness.

It's a very, very incredible group of people.

They brought a subversive world view and a new civilization.Compared with them, the aborigines on the "Broken River Plain" are like backward and uncivilized aborigines.

Fann briefed Ash about the changes in the outside world. Seeing Ash's stunned expression, he laughed: "Does he feel the same as Rachel? At least he didn't deceive us on this point. He really came from the outside world." , he was a wizard too."

"Why?" Ash frowned, and asked without thinking, "It's all in this summer?"

Fortunately, Fann got a perfect score in reading comprehension, and he understood: "I want to ask why it was so calm before. What happened this summer that brought so many people here? —— Well, Rachel also came here in summer."

"Ash, do you remember the story Rachel told you?" Fann said slowly, "He said that our place is called the Broken River Plain by the outside world because there is a raging river that surrounds this land. Among them, no one can cross the river. And he can come in because the river is drying up."

"I calculated the time. Rachel was probably the first group of outsiders to set foot on this land. He came earlier than anyone else." Fann analyzed calmly, "When he came, the process of 'crossing the river' was still the same. It was very difficult, so it was only him and maybe a few outsiders who went first. But as time passed and the river dried up, it became much easier to 'cross the river', so more people crossed the river and came in."

"But Rachel didn't say the whole thing." Vann said, "It's like he concealed that he was a wizard, and he didn't say that the big river was not the river we thought it was, but the so-called 'River of Elements. '."

Ash nodded, that's what the old man from the troupe at the celebration night said, "The river of elements is about to dry up."It just fits well with Rachel's words.

Although I don't know what kind of existence the River of Elements is, it is not difficult to judge that this is a natural barrier for the Broken River Plain.

It prevents the people inside from going out, and also prevents the people outside from coming in.

But now this barrier is about to disappear, and the land on both sides is about to be completely unblocked.

The old man of the troupe said "your peace will soon be shattered." Does that mean that these outsiders will bring them chaos and disaster?

"For now, those outsiders have not shown any aggressiveness." Derek touched his chin with a low voice, "The news brought back by Lannon, most of the outsiders are warm and friendly, and they have been welcomed by many towns."

But Rachel was warm and friendly at the beginning, and was welcomed by almost the whole village.

Ash raised his hand and gently grasped the forearm of his left hand, separated by a layer of clothes, the place where the imprint was located was icy cold, which made him feel a little restless and calm down.

He had felt uneasy when he met Rachel.

After Rachel died, the uneasiness didn't stop there.

He originally thought it was because he listened to the warning from the old man of the troupe, but now it seems that he has been wrong all along.

From the beginning, his uneasiness was not because of Rachel.

Rachel was just the beginning of it all.

The appearance of Rachel indicates that the Broken River Plain will no longer be closed, and Duogu Village will be exposed to outsiders from now on.

His uneasiness is because of everything that will happen to the village and him after the "river of elements" is exhausted.

"Ash." Derek rubbed his hair with a smile, "on the bright side, we are finally not confused. And Lannon also brought back good news—" He winked at Ash triumphantly, "Magic, all the mysterious powers of wizards, we can also learn!"

Ash opened his eyes wide and grabbed Derek's hem almost eagerly: "Really, really?"

"Really! Some people on our side have already been taught and learned their power!" Derek laughed loudly, "Ash, you have experienced all kinds of incredible things, you must be a good material for learning magic!"

Ash's eyes lit up.

***

On the other side of the distant continent, inside a soaring wizard tower.

Lying on the big soft bed, Sigourney raised her left arm, and the black silk sleeves slid down her forearm, revealing his slender and pale arms.

On the arm, a silver-white star crawled there cutely.

He raised his right hand again, and poked the star again and again, carelessly, a little lost in thought.

"Knock button." There was a knock on the door outside the room, "Sigourney, this is Nance. Excuse me?"

"Come in," Signey said, lowering her arms.But still lying lazily, motionless.

Nance came in.

"Sigourney, what about the etiquette of hospitality?" Nance walked across the messy floor where clothes, alchemy materials, and books were piled up, and walked to the side of the bed, looking down at the corpse-like young man, "and your room , How long has it been since you cleaned it?"

Sigourney only tilted her head slightly: "The first question, this is your wizard tower, and I'm just borrowing it. It stands to reason that I'm the guest. The second question, about... three days?"

"Can it be like this in three days?" Nance was shocked, "Do you still remember that you were an elf?"

"Sorry." Sigourney pulled the corners of her lips coolly, "You also said that was once. I'm a vampire now."

"The blood race is also known for its nobility and elegance!"

"Maybe it's because I'm not a pure vampire?" Sigourney looked at him innocently. "You see, I was an elf before, the race with the worst compatibility with vampires."

So why do the two elegant and noble racial attributes become positive and negative after being superimposed?

Nance took a deep breath, yes!excellent!elegant!

Didn't it become clear a long time ago that after the attributes of the two races are superimposed on this guy, the only thing worth looking at is this guy's face? !

Why get mad at a brat who has nothing but a face?

Nance calmed down.

"I'm here to tell you that the results of the wizard association's exploration of the Broken River Plain have come out."

Sigourney snorted uninterestedly: "Tell me what to do? I'm not interested in knowing."

Nance ignored him, and said to himself: "The river of elements will completely dissipate in half a month. From now on, the two continents will be unimpeded, and the Broken River Plain will no longer suppress the power of wizards. Living on the Broken River Plain Humans, through observation and research during this period of time, have been identified as superior magic materials comparable to elves and blood."

"Human? Magic material?" Signy raised her voice incredulously.

Nance sighed: "Yes, it is human beings, and it is also a magic material. It seems to be related to the forbidden magic environment in the Broken River Plain for so many years. Everyone on the plain is an excellent primer for casting spells and magic medicine materials. I suspect that Lei That lunatic Qie Er probably discovered this earlier than anyone else, so he sneaked over there."

He shook his head regretfully and sympathetically: "Recently, magical creatures such as elves and blood orcs have become more and more rare, and the supply in wizards is in short supply. Now there is a broken river plain, and the 'magic materials' in it are of high quality and quantity. But the gang of the Wizards Association are very happy. After half a month, the Broken River Plain has completely lost its protective coat, and it can only be reduced to a hunting ground and breeding garden for wizards."

"...Interesting." Sigourney lowered her eyes, and after a long silence, she laughed softly, "Oh, you humans, you finally don't let humans go! It's so interesting! I really look forward to half a month early One o'clock in the past - let me have a good look at the excitement!"

Nance also laughed: "Aren't you worried?"

"worry about what?"

"Your contract object." Nance reminded him, "That child is also dangerous. Rachel chose him, which means that he must have something special as a material."

"Isn't he the patron of the stars?" Signy took out what Nance had said, and sneered lightly, "How could something happen?"

After he finished speaking, he was startled, then tilted his head hesitantly: "It should be, nothing will happen, right?"

He quietly put his right hand over his left forearm. Under the silk pajamas, the temperature of his arm was as cold as a dead body all year round.Only the imprint of the star exudes heat strangely, which is the human body temperature that he has lost for a long time.

If the contract object dies, even this temperature will disappear...

Thinking of this, he frowned imperceptibly.
