Knights of the Light

The heavy rain in June scattered the flowers on the branches.

On the endless plains, the wheat fields have already headed and are still full of blue eyes. During this rain, a lot of green wheat was knocked down by the heavy rain and fell down in the fields.

The harvest in the north is always later than in the south.

Alan plucked a new ear of wheat and twirled it with his fingers, producing a little bit of bluish-white juice.

The growth of this variety is the same as the description, and it seems that it is more expensive.

"What are you doing?" A childish voice sounded behind him, Alan turned his head, and saw a brown-haired boy with only shorts on his chest staring at him angrily... and the ears of wheat in his hand .

"Is this from your house?" Alan asked, throwing away the ears of wheat.

"Of course it belongs to my family!" The boy picked up the ears of wheat distressedly, put two mouthfuls in his mouth and ate them, then looked sadly at the green wheat dumped in the field, almost crying.

"It's still early days. If it falls down, it will grow up by itself." Alan said lightly.

"But there will be a lot less food." The boy looked at the almost drained quarter of the wheat field and cried out in a low voice.

"There are jobs in the town, people can't die of hunger." Alan glanced at him and said.

"I have to take care of the field and my younger siblings, so I can't go to work." The young man wiped his tears and sobbed, "If the harvest is good, I can send my younger siblings to school, but now I may only be able to send them alone. I don't know how to tell them."

"Where are your parents?" Alan asked with a frown.

"..." The boy stopped for a while, and ignored him.

Alan turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, mage!" The boy stood up suddenly, trying to pull the hem of his clothes.

But he only caught one phantom, but he used too much force and fell to the ground.

Alan watched him quietly.

"Master," the young man pursed his lower lip, and said seriously, "You are a mage, can you tell me, will it still rain?"

"I said yes, aren't you more desperate?" Alan looked at him. This year's monsoon is strong, and there will be two heavy rains. Compared with the following ones, this one is relatively small.

"I can't dig too many drainage ditches by myself, and I can't erect too many windbreak posts. If you are sure, Master Mage, I can persuade people in the town to help, and at least some losses can be recovered." The young man looked firm. , earnestly begged him, "Please help me, if I predict that I will spend money, but I can't afford the money now, can I owe it first?"

"You should find a mage in your clan." Alan looked into the distance and frowned, "This is an adult's business."

"Both my parents are in prison...they were sentenced to three and seven years in prison." The boy's voice lowered unconsciously, "They think the new law restricts us too much, so they also participated in the The turmoil a month ago...sorry."

"What about you, do you also feel restricted?" Alan asked.

"I..." The young man knew that he didn't think it was too fake, so he said the truth, "We have never been governed by the law before, and it was our fault to resist. Now everyone knows how powerful it is, and there are very few people who dare to violate it. It's gone."

"Okay, then let me tell you." Alan glanced into the distance and said calmly, "There will be no heavy rain until the wheat is harvested."

The boy's eyes turned red for a moment, and he nodded vigorously: "Thank you, thank you so much, Master Mage."

He has been so anxious that he has not closed his eyes for the past two days, and now he can finally feel relieved.

Alan nodded and disappeared slowly.

"Master..." the boy asked anxiously, "May I know your name?"

"Why do you need to know?" Alan looked at him, only a faint shadow remained of his figure.

"I'll be able to find your class when I get into the magic class. I will be the best student!" the boy said with certainty.

"I don't accept students." After finishing speaking, the last shadow also disappeared into the void.

A trace of disappointment flashed through the blue eyes of the young man, but he soon cheered up. He went barefoot to the ground and scooped away the stagnant water in the low-lying land. His bucket was a shallow wooden bowl, and he ran a lot It took me only one time to finish scooping, and I was almost too tired to stand up straight.

Not daring to help the fallen wheat, he picked up a flat stone and walked towards the road.

The wide road was repaired by the city before, enough for a large carriage to pass through. It was flattened with heavy wood and paved with a thick layer of stones, so it is not muddy even in rainy days.

On the way, he observed very carefully. Not only did he catch a field mouse, but he also dug out a mouse hole. He found a lot of seeds, green ears and grass roots. Great, it's hard to find.

If it was before... well, what's the use of thinking about it now?The food harvested with the planting potion last time has been collected according to the tax, and the rest will be eaten until the harvest, and the money for the potion must be paid back in installments. If you save a little, you should be able to eat it until next year, right?

After walking for an hour, he finally came to a low thatched hut: "I'm back."

"Lion." A little girl who was half a head shorter than him ran up to him, and when she saw the mouse in his hand, her eyes lit up, "Liao En, you are great! We have meat again tonight."

"Where's younger brother?" The boy handed the mouse to her, turned his head and glanced, but didn't see it.

"He went to fetch water." The little girl quickly peeled off the mouse's skin with her paws, hung it aside, and continued to cook, "Recently, there are too many people who have borrowed buckets from Uncle Aslan's house, and they will not be able to borrow buckets if they are late. "

"Isn't the Farm Tool Officer able to rent buckets?" the boy asked anxiously.

"A new order has come down. All farm tools must be paid, not just iron."

"..." The boy sighed, suddenly picked up a stone, and started digging a hole in the yard.

"what to do?"

"Dig a hole, next time it rains, you don't need to pick it up, and then use stones to build a circle, it will be much cleaner."

"Wow, you're so smart." The little girl clapped vigorously, then threw the cooked mouse into the stone pot, and stepped forward to help.

The hole was dug quickly, and the stone was going to the river. It was getting dark, so I had to go tomorrow.

The boy picked up the flat stone and continued to polish it.

"Are you sharpening your sickle?" the little girl asked.

"It's time to harvest. There are only three of us, and we have more than ten acres of land. We can't use our claws all the time." The young man said, "Although the rental fee for farm tools is not high, it's good to save a little."

"...Liao En," the little girl also felt sad, "When will Mom and Dad come back, I miss them."

"..." The boy polished the stone silently.

"I will never bully humans or rob things anymore. I will obey all laws. Let them return our parents to us, okay?" the little girl asked, sobbing.

"When the time is up, we will come back," the young man patted her head, "This time, it's just that it's already good. In the ice field, those who resist will be killed. Even we can't escape. Now we just wait They, not for long. If they refuse to comply, we will be sent back."

Of course the girl knew that the ice field was a thousand times worse than here, and those who came here never wanted to go back to that place without tomorrow, so she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry."

"Why do you say sorry?"

"It's all my fault. I took my younger brother to play truant. I'm sorry..." The fee this time is only for children who are unwilling to study. The children who were obedient before were exempted from the net to continue studying, and they can still have work-study money, brother He was originally a good student, and the teachers especially praised him, saying that he was very talented and hardworking, and they were willing to recommend him to the mage academy in the main city, but in order to take care of her and his younger brother, his elder brother had no choice but to refuse to come back.

When they find that they don't even know the laws and regulations, they realize the importance of knowledge, but if they think about it again, the cost is already unaffordable.

"It's okay, we're all alive, there's always a chance." The young man patted her head again. It's a good place to avoid killing each other because of lack of food, or hiding in order to offend nobles. The kindness of the lord was consumed by their people, and they could only wait for him to appease his anger.

That's fine, what you get in exchange is always more solid than others' charity.

He is confident that he will become the best mage here.

spiral tower

Alan retrieves the hundreds of mirror image phantoms he sent.

The memories of the phantom entered his mind one after another, allowing him to understand the latest situation. The memory data was huge, but it did not affect any of his experiments.

One of the records led him to action.

"Teacher." He didn't stop experimenting, but just called out.

"I'm not your firefighter." The skeleton said angrily.

"One more favor, it will cost you a lot of hard work." Alan reassured.

"Speak." The skeleton reluctantly listened.

"Send a letter to the wife of the God of Storms, so that we will have good weather for the past two months." Alan took out a beautiful and bright star diamond and put it in the envelope.

"This is enough to buy all our harvested food, what are you planning?" the skeleton asked puzzled.

"If you have money, you can be willful." Alan said calmly.

"...Then you can pay back my money first!" Skull snorted coldly.

"You're a partnership, I don't owe you anything." Alan said confidently.

"You are really a good person." Skeleton sneered.

"That's why Percy likes me." Alan finished the last note, closed the magic notebook, smiled, and floated to find Percy.

Of course I am a good person.

he thinks.
