We cannot rely on fate for everything. Human power can sometimes change nature. After the busy farming season, Lin Xingchen led the army of pioneers to dig ditches and canals.
After looking at the map of Maple Leaf Territory, Lin Xingchen made what he thought was the best plan, leaving enough room for future expansion.
But now the only way is to rely on more people contributing their efforts. Everyone is busy on the construction site, and everyone is working in an orderly manner under the command of a five-year-old kid.
Lin Xingchen sat next to a simple shed with some snacks. The reason why he was here to get some fresh air was that as long as no one was around, these guys would not take the initiative to find solutions once they encountered a problem for fear of being blamed.
Originally, this matter could be handed over to a trustworthy servant, but that guy did things quickly and well, but once he was asked to make a decision, he would be very stubborn and would run more than ten miles to ask for help on something that was so simple that he could make the decision on his own.
Faced with this situation, Lin Xingchen felt that his life was too difficult. He worked so hard but couldn't even find a responsible person under him.
In the distance, Linda was leading a little girl about eight or nine years old and walking towards Lin Xingchen. Seeing the newcomers, the servants beside them also reminded Lin Xingchen.
"Hey, isn't this our talented and beautiful girl Evelyn! When did you come back?" Seeing the person coming, Lin Xingchen greeted him like an old gangster.
"Hmph... I heard from my mother that you were supervising others working here, so I came to see how a bad guy like you bullies others. If you go too far, I will teach you a lesson." After saying this, he raised his little fist threateningly.
“Tsk tsk tsk…I’m not saying anything bad about Evelin, if you weren’t three years older than me, I would have knocked you to the ground a long time ago.”
"Hmph. Let me tell you, Lin, I have defeated countless evil lords like you in the academy."
"Okay, I heard that you went to learn magic. I wonder how you are doing? Can you let me see it?"
"Of course!" The girl said it with confidence and pride. She stretched out her fair little hand and muttered something. After about five or six seconds, a small fireball appeared on her outstretched hand.
As the small fireball took shape, the girl threw it towards a haystack in front of Lin Xingchen.
The speed of the small fireball was not very fast. Before it hit the haystack, Lin Xingchen thought that the fireball was just serving as a starter.
But what shocked him was that this fireball, which was only the size of an egg, exploded the moment it hit the haystack.
The burning speed was simply unbelievable. Not only was the burning speed amazing, but it was also accompanied by a shock wave, just like a small bomb explosion.
"Fuck... Is this magic? What if it's as big as a football!!!" Although Lin Xingchen had already made the plan to see some magic when he came to this world, he was still amazed when he actually saw it.
After being surprised, the first thing Lin Xingchen thought of was how to use magic to help himself. In his mind, he already had various scenarios of how magic could help him achieve his goals.
"Awesome, awesome. I didn't expect that our talented and beautiful girl Miss Evelin has become so amazing." Now that he had a plan, Lin Xingchen quickly flattered the smug girl.
Evelin enjoyed the flattery very much, and when she saw that the time was right, she asked for her help.
After learning that this talented girl had only learned the magic of fireball, Lin Xingchen was somewhat discouraged, but after a short while he started asking Evelyn about magic again.
Light, darkness, earth, fire, wind, water, thunder and lightning are the seven main types of magic. According to Evelyn, there should be other types of magic, but she just doesn't know about them.
"By the way, Evelyn, how can one become a magician?" Having seen the power of magic, Lin Xingchen couldn't wait to learn it.
"Then you have to test your mental strength first. If your mental strength is not enough, you cannot become a magician."
"Where can I go to test it? I want to give it a try."
"Please don't be anxious, little master. You have to wait until you are six years old to test whether you have magical talent." Linda on the side answered Lin Xingchen's question with a smile.
"Six years old, there are only about ten months left, let me wait a little longer!" Lin Xingchen was a little disappointed that he couldn't learn magic for a while, so he led Linda and her daughter back to the castle.
Everyone who came through was not a law-abiding person. After lunch, Lin Xingchen couldn't fall asleep and couldn't help but go to find Evelin.
Evelin opened the door not long after knocking, and looked at the person in front of her door with a little annoyance.
"Why did you come to see me? Hurry up and tell me I need to meditate!"
"Oh... Evelyn, I came to you for something important. I want you to teach me magic." When asking someone for a favor, one should be polite.
"Learn magic? How can you learn it if you haven't been tested?"
"We'll talk about the test later. I would like you to teach me magic first, so that I can practice magic with you later."
"Magic is difficult to learn. Don't blame me if you can't learn it!" Evelyn knew the character of the young master in front of her.
"Don't worry! I will definitely do my best."
After getting a positive answer, Evelyn let Lin Xingchen into her room. Although Evelyn was nominally a follower, the dukes of all generations would never neglect the Helen family. The Helen family once swore allegiance to the Xingchen family for generations under the witness of the gods.
Lin Xingchen couldn't tell whether he admired or mocked such behavior, but what Lin Xingchen saw was that his grandfather Green never treated Arnold and his family as outsiders.
Whatever the Helen family can have, the Helen family will definitely have a share. This is why Evelyn has the opportunity to learn magic. The cost of supporting a child to learn magic is not something an ordinary family can afford.
"First of all, before I teach you magic, I want to make something clear to you. This is what my teacher taught me." Evelyn didn't want to be as careless as other children and start teaching Lin Xingchen everything they know. Instead, she taught Lin Xingchen word for word based on what she learned from the teacher.
"Do you remember everything I said?"
“Don’t worry, Evelin, I’ve got it all memorized. I won’t joke about my life.”
After getting an earnest answer, Evelyn officially began to teach Lin Xingchen the basics of magic.
"Magic is to use your mental power to communicate with the various elements that are everywhere. The first thing you need to learn is to communicate with the elements. Once you can freely control the elements, you can use spells to create the magic you want."
I tried to calm myself down according to the meditation method taught by Evelyn, and used the method of mental control I learned from Evelyn to enter the world of elements.
Although it was his first attempt, Lin Xingchen felt as if he had thousands of experiences and quickly achieved the affinity element that Evelyn mentioned.
Seeing these stars shining with various lights through his mental power, Lin Xingchen quickly released his mental power. As Lin Xingchen released his mental power, several elements among them flew towards Lin Xingchen.
Among them, silver-white and aqua blue are the most concentrated, while cyan and red have a slight difference. When these elements approach Lin Xingchen, there is an obvious feeling of cheering.
After completing the first step of affinity elements, Lin Xingchen began to try to make them accept being controlled by him.
According to Evelyn, the elements were constantly changing their appearance and formation. As Lin Xingchen continued to command them, the elements became closer to Lin Xingchen.
Just when Lin Xingchen was having fun, he felt as if his body was being shaken by someone and he quickly exited the elemental world. When he opened his eyes, he saw Evelin's face full of nervousness.
"Haha... Evelyn, I have achieved what you said about getting close to and controlling the elements." Lin Xingchen quickly shared his joy with Evelyn.
"You're lying. Do you know how long it took me to achieve affinity and manipulation? It took a whole month. The teachers even praised me for breaking the fastest record since the establishment of the academy."
"You only did it in two hours, you must be lying."
"I didn't lie to you. If I lied to you, I would not be able to use magic. You might as well tell me how to use magic. If I can use it, then I didn't lie to you." Lin Xingchen said confidently.
The unyielding genius girl did not understand the trap in the words and directly taught Lin Xingchen the only fireball spell she knew and how to use it.
At dinner time, Evelyn stared at her plate and kept eating her food, but anyone could see that she was in a low mood.
“Evelin can’t be rude during meal time!” Linda scolded with a cold face.
"I got it, Mom." After saying that, he cheered himself up and concentrated on eating his food.
“Evelyn, did Little Xingchen make you angry? Tell Grandpa Green that I will help you beat him up.” After saying that, he did not forget to glare at someone who was eating beef with big mouthfuls.
"Grandpa, you can't wrongly accuse me. Her unhappiness has nothing to do with me." Lin Xingchen didn't want to get into trouble so he quickly defended himself.
"Evelyn, tell Grandpa Green what made you so depressed." Green ignored his grandson and asked kindly.
It would have been fine if she hadn't asked, but as soon as she asked, Evelin couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and she burst into tears.
Arnold hurriedly comforted his granddaughter, and it was only after his mother Linda's constant soothing that she finally told the truth.
"Mom, am I useless? It took me a month to learn how to use the fireball, but Lin only took a few hours to do it." Evelyn's words shocked the adults.
