The Luoxia City in the Sleeping Moon already has a desolate feel.
From the country paths to the wide and flat roads, everything was covered with thick snow. It was all white at a glance, and there was not a single person in sight.
Whoosh! A giant wolf ran across the snow, stirring up a cloud of snow.
The giant wolf was about as tall as an adult male's chest. It was light gray in color, with strong and nimble limbs. As it ran, its mouth would occasionally open and spit out white air. Its extremely sharp fangs could be vaguely seen, and there seemed to be a little blood left between its teeth.
What is even more surprising is that the giant wolf has a single horn on its head.
Fanol rode on the wolf's back, tightened his fur cloak, looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and couldn't help cursing inwardly.
“Damn the weather!”
Such cold weather was unbearable even for him, a second-level wizard apprentice.
However, when his eyes fell on the bulging skin in front of him, he felt much better.
"With these silver moon flowers, I will be able to build the fourth star ring soon!"
"If I had known there were so many good things in the city, I should have left the village earlier and searched for resources everywhere!"
Fanol smacked his lips.
If he had realized this earlier, he wouldn't have spent decades to be promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice.
"But I heard from the people in that store that it's the Star Alliance's business."
Although he had always stayed in the countryside, Fanol still knew about the Covenant.
This is a behemoth that rules the entire continent! If you rob the Star Alliance, you will definitely be wanted.
But Fanol didn't care much. At worst he could just find a place to hide.
The Starlight Continent is so big, if he just hides in a corner, will the Star Alliance be able to find him? "Go to the underground world, or the Rainbow Sea?"
Fanol had seen these two places in wizard books, and he thought that these two places were definitely not within the sphere of influence of the Star Alliance. Whoever entered any of them would be able to fly freely as he pleased.
Fanol was thinking happily when he suddenly heard a gust of strong wind in his ears.
In an instant, alarm bells rang in his heart and he subconsciously moved to the side. The next second, he heard a "swish" sound, as if flesh was being torn, and a flash of blood appeared before his eyes.
“Ouch!”
The giant wolf monster beneath him let out a wail, its legs went soft and it fell forward, dragging Fanol down with it to the ground.
Fortunately, he had an excellent physique and was not injured. He quickly recovered his breath, rolled over for a distance, then quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the attack as if facing a great enemy.
What came into view were two men in long robes.
It's a bit of a stretch to call them men, as they look only about fifteen or sixteen years old, very young, and can only be considered teenagers.
There were two black leopards standing beside him, looking at this side with cold and emotionless eyes.
"What is that? A familiar?"
Fanol vaguely felt that the two black leopards were unusual, as if they were not normal creatures, and they seemed to him to be more dangerous than his own magical pets.
"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"
Fanol glanced at the giant wolf lying on the ground, who was breathing out more than breathing in.
The previous blow penetrated directly from its back and exited from its chest, leaving a big hole. The blood that flowed out soaked the snow beneath its body into a deep red, and it was already dying.
Seeing his precious magical pet seriously injured and dying, Fanol felt both distressed and annoyed.
If it weren't for the fact that the two people opposite were obviously wizard apprentices, and there were two black panthers that seemed difficult to deal with, he would have already attacked in a rage.
Hearing Fanol's question, the two teenagers looked at each other and smiled helplessly at the same time.
The young man on the right lifted the brim of his hat, revealing a handsome face.
He pointed to the star-shaped badge on his chest and sneered, "You just came from the countryside, right? You have the guts to rob the Star Alliance, but you can't recognize the Star Alliance badge?"
Another tall and thin boy shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "There are many people like you in recent years. You have been hiding in the remote countryside to practice, and only came out after being promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice. As a result, you don't know anything. When you see good things, you are blinded by greed. You even dare to have the idea of the Star Alliance?"
"You are probably thinking of escaping to the Underworld or the Rainbow Sea, so the Covenant can't find you, right?"
Fanol's face changed and he almost blurted out "How did you know?"
Seeing the change in his expression, the tall and thin boy realized that he had guessed right and shook his head helplessly.
It’s not that he can read minds, but most of the wizard apprentices he captured before thought so.
"Ignorance is terrible. The Underground World and the Rainbow Sea are both the territories of the Star Alliance. Where do you think you can escape to?"
Fanol's face suddenly changed and he was shocked.
The Underground World and the Rainbow Sea are both the territories of the Star Alliance? How is this possible?
The wizarding tomes clearly record that these two places are extremely vast and extremely dangerous. How could the Star Alliance conquer them?
As if he could see what Fanol was thinking, the tall and thin boy curled his lips and said, "You don't understand the power of the Star Alliance at all."
"Alright." The handsome young man interrupted his companion, "Enough of the nonsense, quickly catch him and report back, I have to go to the Glittering City later."
The tall and thin boy seemed to listen to the handsome boy very much. As soon as the latter opened his mouth, he immediately stopped talking, his expression became serious, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes when he looked at Fanol.
Fanol was startled and took action first, uttering syllables rapidly, and raised his hand to shoot out an ice-blue light towards the handsome boy.
Freeze ray!
Faced with the incoming rays, the handsome young man did not move, allowing the rays to hit him, and then be blocked by an invisible layer of protection.
"Shield spell? No, that's not right. It's a protective magic item!"
Fanol was surprised and jealous.
But soon he had no time to care about anything else. Six magic missiles came towards him with a sharp whistle and instantly destroyed his shield.
Immediately afterwards, a raging flame came like a tide, forcing him to dodge in a panic.
As soon as the battle began, Fanol was shocked to find that the two teenagers not only mastered more and more comprehensive spells than him, but also cast spells faster than him.
Not to mention the power of his spells, which is far more powerful than his.
There are also precious and rare magic items for self-defense.
Any one of them alone is enough to beat him, let alone if they work together.
In just four or five breaths, Fanol was beaten and fled away in panic, he was no match at all.
"Are all the wizard apprentices of the Star Alliance so powerful?" Fanol thought in horror.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have greatly underestimated the power of the Star Alliance.
Soon Fanol was hit by a debilitating ray and fell to the ground. Before he could catch his breath, a fist that seemed to be made of rock hit his head.
Bang! Fanol fainted without even a sound.
The tall and thin boy retracted his fist and smiled.
"Stone fist is still the best."
"This spell is only used to bully enemies who have lost their protective spells."
The handsome young man complained as he took out the magic-suppressing neck ring and put it on Fanol, then clapped his hands.
The Black Rock Leopard, who had been watching the fight nearby, came over with a few nimble leaps, picked up Fanol, threw him back, and easily threw him onto his back.
"Done, go back and report."
The two young men rode on the Black Rock Leopard again and returned to Luoxia City.
"Speaking of which, the Star Eye is really useful."
On the way, the tall and thin boy couldn't help but marvel at it.
"This guy just made a move once, and the Star Eye recorded his life information and locked his location directly. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find his whereabouts in the first place."
The handsome young man smiled and said, "After all, it was a super-large magic device created by the two adults. Now the entire Starlight Continent, including the underground world and the Rainbow Sea, is within the coverage of the Star Eye. No one can escape the monitoring of the Star Eye."
The tall and thin young man nodded in agreement: "Master Sunan and Master Xingyun are so amazing!"
After running all the way, the two soon returned to Luoxia City.
The tall and thin young man took on the task, the handsome young man thanked him, and then came to the central square of Luoxia City.
The teleportation array is located there.
When he arrived at the square, there was already a large queue in front of the teleportation array, as well as a caravan pulling a convoy of goods.
There were all kinds of people, the only thing they had in common was that they were all well-dressed and obviously came from wealthy families.
Although teleportation arrays are no longer a rare thing nowadays and almost every city has one, ordinary people still cannot afford them due to the high cost of use.
Nowadays, most people who use the teleportation array are nobles, wealthy merchants, the middle class, as well as wizard apprentices and knights.
When the handsome young man walked into the square, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
The people nearby looked at him in awe when they saw the robe he was wearing and the star-shaped badge on his chest.
The knight in charge of guarding the teleportation array's eyes lit up, he took a few quick steps, and said with a flattering smile, "It turns out to be Lord Hailin, do you want to use the teleportation array?"
The handsome young man hummed, glanced at the long queue, and frowned slightly.
The knight immediately said, "If Lord Hailin has urgent matters, you can use the teleportation array first."
"Thank you for your trouble."
The handsome young man didn't hesitate and walked straight into the teleportation array and threw the secondary magic stone into the groove.
As the light came on, the figure in the teleportation array disappeared instantly.
Looking at this scene, the two knights at the front of the team couldn't help but reveal envious expressions.
"It's better to be a wizard apprentice. You have privileges wherever you go."
"Yeah, look at that guard. He usually ignores us, but he is fawning on the wizard apprentice. It's too realistic."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the man in front turned around, looked at the two of them with a strange expression, and laughed: "The guard looked like that, not just because that man is a wizard apprentice. Don't you know him?"
A knight asked curiously, "Does that person have a great background?"
"That's not just ordinary big!" The man paused for a moment, whetting the appetite of the two men, and then continued slowly, "The man's full name is Hailin Yanest, the grandson of the emperor. Do you think he has a great background?"
"ah!"
The two knights gasped, their faces filled with shock.
They finally understood why the guard acted so flatteringly.
The identity of being the Emperor's grandson alone is already very remarkable. Looking at the entire Starry Empire, he is definitely one of the top few people.
Not to mention he was a wizard apprentice! As everyone knows, Lord Sunan, the ruler of the Star Alliance, and His Majesty the Emperor are brothers.
In other words, Hailin Yanest is the great-nephew of Lord Sunan.
As both a great-nephew and a wizard apprentice, one can imagine how bright Hailin Yanest's future in the Star Alliance is.
After realizing this, the two knights suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I had known that person had such a powerful background, I would have shamelessly gone up to say hello. It would have been nice to get to know him.
If he could become the other party's follower, it would be a step to heaven! After a flash of light, Hailin had arrived at the central square of the Flashing City.
Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes.
No matter how many times he used it, the magic of the teleportation array always amazed him.
The distance of seven or eight hundred kilometers passed in the blink of an eye, it was simply magical.
"I heard that the underground world is also fully equipped with teleportation arrays. As long as you are willing to invest in secondary magic stones, you can travel across the entire continent in one day."
After sighing for a while, Hailin set off for the palace.
Before going out on this mission, he received a message from the palace asking him to come back when he had time, saying that his grandfather wanted to see him.
Key Yanest is not only the founding emperor of the Star Empire but also the brother of the ruler of the Star Alliance. He enjoys great prestige in the entire Star Continent.
Although he was not a wizard, even the deans of the academy did not dare to neglect the Emperor.
Hailin also has great respect for his grandfather.
Therefore, as soon as the mission was completed, he rushed over without stopping.
About half an hour later, Hailin met his grandfather in the study.
Compared to the New Year celebration at the beginning of the year, there seems to be a few more white hairs on my grandfather's head.
Even a strong knight like the Bloodline Knight cannot resist the passage of time.
His Majesty the Emperor, who is 191 years old this year, has undoubtedly entered the last years of his life.
"Grandfather, Hailin sends his regards to you."
"Sit down, there's no need for so much formality between us grandparents and grandchildren."
Key smiled gently, looking at Hailin with eyes full of appreciation and affection.
The royal family has now grown into a large family with over a hundred members, but there is only one person who truly possesses the qualifications of a wizard.
This is the hope for revitalizing the royal family, so of course he attaches great importance to it.
"How have you been lately?"
"Not bad." Hailin knew what his grandfather wanted to hear. "I just built the fifth star ring last month, and I also made a breakthrough in [Puppet Refining]. This month I plan to apply for the second-level assessment."
As expected, Kai showed a satisfied look on his face when he heard this.
"Good. Keep working hard. If you need any resources, please tell me. As long as they are in the imperial treasury, you can use them at will."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Hailin was delighted.
The Empire and the Star Alliance have a lot of trade dealings and control a large amount of resources. Although they are all low-level resources, the quantity is large enough to save him a lot of contribution points.
Key then asked, "You should be considered one of the most outstanding young people in the academy. You should be eligible to apply for the Morning Star Assessment. Do you have any plans to do so?" (End of this chapter)
