Chapter 1 The Beginning Boy
On the endless land in the distance, there are two super powerful powers.
One of these countries is a powerful country with a long history. Mastis, as the most powerful magic power among the known countries, once had countless high-level magicians, with strong strength and a well-deserved overlord of all countries.
Another country is the "century-year rookie" that is closest to Mastis in the past century - Daxia Federation. Its appearance was completely beyond everyone's expectations. As if it appeared out of thin air, when people reacted, a super country called Daxia was almost taken, and it was said that its national strength was no longer comparable to that of Mastis, a ten thousand-year-old power.
Unlike Mastis, the soldiers of Daxia are better at a novel technology called "alchemy". Alchemy and magic seem to have some unknown relationship, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be an inseparable relationship between these two "miracles".
Alchemy is known for its "science". It is based on the laws of science and is used reasonably by people. It is characterized by refining it into a array, adding the items needed, and requires building equations and then equivalent replacement to use the power.
However, magic is contrary to this. The use of magic is contrary to the principles of alchemy. The existence of alchemy can be said to be contrary to magic. It cannot be treated and explained in a scientific way. People who can use magic are undoubtedly gifted geniuses. Using magic does not require the so-called "equivalent exchange". They only need to consume an energy called "magic power" in the human body. Then, through the magic array and supplemented with spells, they can release power beyond nature.
Therefore, the conflict between the two great powers, also at the moment when the Daxia Federation was established, had already appeared silently.
West of Great Xia, Heaton Town.
"Xiao Xiao! You have your letter! Come and pick it up from the mayor."
In an iron box placed on the telephone pole in the town, an old voice roared. For some reason, the appearance of the word "Xiao Li" made all the people who were disturbed show an angry and funny expression. Most of them shook their heads helplessly, turned around and continued to be busy with their own affairs.
A young man who seemed to be in his teens was sleeping comfortably on the bed, with something exactly the same as the iron box in the town placed beside him. Hearing the "sizzling" sound in the iron box, he knew that the iron box was always in the starting state.
"Xiao Xiao! You have your letter! Come and pick it up from the mayor."
The boy's ear was suddenly disturbed by the sudden sound, which scared the boy so much that he immediately sat upright, but inadvertently he took a self-defense posture.
Then he found that it was the sound from the worn-out speaker, so he scratched his head helplessly, pouted his mouth and scolded the mayor. Then he hurriedly got out of the bed, put on his shoes, and hurried out of the door.
"Oh, Xiao Xiao? I'm so anxious to go to the mayor?"
"Boy! Please tell me the mayor that bastard! Don't be so sudden when you inform the matter next time! It's so scary!"
"Zheng Xiaoqiu! You kicked the fallen leaves that I had just swept away!"
The boy still does his own way. When he passes through a familiar place, he always teases the familiar people and then flees quickly. But strangely, the people in the town are not angry with the boy. Whenever he sees the boy, a hint of pity and heartache always flashes in everyone's eyes.
"Master, Mayor,! Yes... what kind of letter is it?" The boy's eyes flashed with infinite vitality.
The mayor slowly walked out of the door, holding a letter the size of two palms in his hand.
"Boy, next time you have someone send the letter to me, I will burn that thing!" The mayor shouted helplessly as he looked at the famous troublemaker in the town.
"Oh, I forgot the address at home!" the young man smiled shyly.
"Don't, don't show me that innocent smile. Others don't know, but I know it clearly! You are a little guy, you may have some idea in your heart." The mayor's white beard trembled, "Take it, I didn't untie this letter, there seems to be something inside, you should be gentle when you open it."
"I know!" The boy took the letter with a smile, "Grandpa, that..."
The mayor rolled his eyes, turned around and walked into the house. After a while, he took another bottle of things and threw them to the boy, "Hmph! I know the purpose of your coming here! Take it, the newly brewed red fruit wine, this is the share of this month! Don't come again for me!"
The boy laughed and grabbed the red fruit wine bottle in the air with one hand, "Thank you, Grandpa, then I'll go back first!"
"Go roll! Stop causing me trouble!" The mayor waved his hand impatiently, and looked at the boy's running back, the mayor fell into deep thought, "Letter from the Daxia Legion... This kid has really embarked on that road..."
The mayor sighed, and when he turned around and entered the house, he seemed to be a little hunched.
When Zheng Xiaoqin returned home, he quickly put his favorite red fruit wine aside and held the letter in both hands, as if he was afraid that he would disappear if he accidentally did it.
"Finally..." Zheng Xiaoqian grinned, his heart pounding wildly, "It really made me wait for you! It's great!"
The cover of the letter reads the words "Heaton Town-Zheng Xiao-Ching", but the most important thing is not this, but the red mark that is stamped in the center of the letter - Daxia Jinlong.
In the Great Xia Federation, there are only two official groups about alchemy. One is the alchemy union that studies scientific alchemy and refines a formation, and the other is the alchemy legion specializing in combat-based alchemy - the Great Xia Jinlong!
Zheng Xiaoqiu has always been waiting for this opportunity. He applied to the official for the opportunity to join the Great Xia Jinlong a long time ago, but it was like a stone entering a deep pool, with no news. But he was still willing to wait. He believed that his application would never be silent.
And this wait was one year.
After this long time, even Zheng Xiaoqiu almost gave up and continued to wait in Heaton Town. Finally, hard work paid off. He waited for this long-awaited letter!
"Dear Mr. Zheng Xiaoqiu, Hello. After receiving your letter, I am very sorry to delay the reply to you until now, because according to federal law, men under the age of eleven are not allowed to participate in state organs in any form. Therefore, after verification, you have reached the age of legal participation in politics this year.
So, in order to verify your alchemy ability, please arrive at the Daxia Golden Dragon Legion before January 31, 145, the Daxia calendar, for testing. If you can pass the test, you can join the Daxia Golden Dragon and play for my Daxia.
Of course, if you fail, we will arrange a suitable job for you in the Great Xia Golden Dragon based on your alchemy level, or arrange a job for you at the Alchemy Research Union.
All these choices are left to you to make.
The round trip travel expenses are all reimbursed by Daxia Jinlong, please come on time.”
The signature is the four words "Daxia Golden Dragon", and the letter also has an inimitable seal of the Daxia Golden Dragon official seal.
Zheng Xiaoqi raised the letter high and shouted "Long live" loudly. His face turned red, and the excitement in his eyes was completely vented in the roar.
Then he opened the envelope and took out a bronze medal placed in the envelope. The bronze medal was carved with a five-clawed golden dragon that soared into the sky. The dragon claws could clearly identify and hold a star. It is said that the star symbolizes the general public.
"The bronze medal of the Great Xia Golden Dragon, I heard that I can take the transportation in the country for free." Zheng Xiaoqi was stunned, "No wonder he would reimburse me for travel expenses. It was free, so where did the travel expenses come from?"
"Golden Dragon Bronze Medal! Only by becoming an alchemist of the Great Xia Red Dragon and obtaining official certification can you get your own golden pocket watch! The bronze medal is just an entry ticket, and it is still far from my goal!" A spark of yearning appeared in the boy's eyes.
January 20, 145, Daxia calendar.
Zheng Xiaoqin, eleven years old.
That night, a young man followed the night away from the small road in the town. Every time the boy took a step, he couldn't help but look back and look at the town where he had lived for a long time.
In the end, he defeated his nostalgia. The boy strongly wiped away the water droplets from the corners of his eyes, and his eyes became deeper. He knew that he had some important things to do and he could not stay in this place. I'm sorry, the mayor, and all the grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters!
In Heaton Town, a group of adults who watched Zheng Xiaoxiao grow up were standing neatly in a place that Zheng Xiaoxiao could not see, and it was pitch black around them, which was because they didn't want to light the lights. Since Zheng Xiaoxiao wanted to leave quietly, how could they expose such a thing?
"Xiao Xiao has grown up..."
"Yes, I remember he came to my house for free every two days."
"Hey, since his father left him, Xiao Wei has become mature. I hope he can find that person after he goes out this time..."
"It will definitely be. The reason why we can live a stable life here is because of his father's help. I hope Xiaolong can get what he wants!"
Everyone was recalling the days when there was little time. Only the mayor was silently watching his tiny body, running step by step towards the unknown road ahead. Inadvertently, the mayor's eyes were already filled with tears.
