the last magic noble

Chapter 1 The Only Bloodline

"Hummer! Hummer!" A slightly hoarse shout pierced through the wooden door, beating my eardrums while I was sleeping soundly.

In a daze, I fumbled to put on my fur jacket, rubbed my sleepy eyes, and staggered towards the place where the sound came from - the back room of the grocery store downstairs.

Reluctantly, I knew that if I didn't make it in time, the next thing I would do was shake my brains out.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the grocery store, a burly figure stood in front of me. Before I could raise my head, a large cheese sandwich was stuffed into my mouth, and then there was a burst of urging: "Hummer, hurry up after eating!" work."

This man is my uncle, a grocer who lived in the small town of Inverness.

Inverness is located in the cold north, beyond Inverness to the north, there is a barren land in Scotland.

Most of the traveling merchants use Inverness as their terminal point.

Travelers looking for novelty, medicine and adventure use Inverness as their starting point.The town has thus become a land of sparrows with all internal organs.

I've lived in Inverness as long as I can remember, with my uncle.

His uncle's name was David Lionel, a well-known honest man in Inverness, and his family had run the only grocery store, coffee shop and beer bar in the town for generations.

The people in the town are simple and honest, and almost everyone in the town has friendship with my uncle. Therefore, although I was told that my parents died of sudden illness, no one in the town despised me because of this, and they took great care of me.

I lived in such a warm environment until I was 14 years old.

On my 14th birthday, my usually serious uncle brought back an oak barrel with great difficulty. I stood there stupidly, watching him wipe off a piece of plaster from the bottom of the barrel, and insert a piece of old water pipe into the bottom of the oak barrel with a bang. , He took two beer glasses from the grocery store and took two glasses of beer.

After signaling me to sit down, my uncle handed me a glass of beer with thick foam. I looked at the color of the beer, smelled it, and said, "Uncle, is this the beer brewed by the Baker family in February this year?"

Uncle put down the beer he had just brought to his mouth, and a smile appeared on his usually serious face: "Yes, Hummer, today is your 14th birthday, according to the customs of Inverness, you are already a man, drink this glass Wine, you have to face the wind, snow, frost, wolves and beasts alone."

This is the first time I heard of such a rule. Since I was a child, my uncle has been very strict with me. Not to mention alcohol, I seldom even let me touch coffee, saying that drinking too much coffee will hurt my brain.

For this incident, I was laughed at by the other children in the town of Inverness for a while.

The beer of the Baker family is famous far and wide. Many tired travelers or travelers who have braved the wind and snow to make a living will come to the grocery store of the uncle’s house and order a cup of Baker’s hot beer stirred with honey and butter.

As I was thinking, my uncle impatiently held up his empty glass and urged me to drink it quickly.

I looked down, closed my eyes, and drank it with a sip. The mouthfeel was not as punchy as I thought, but instead had a smell of bread and wheat.

After drinking, I gradually felt my cheeks burning.I don't know when, I was already giggling.

But the uncle on the opposite side was watching me smiling slightly, the horse lantern shone on his slightly vicissitudes of face, flickering on and off, unable to conceal his heartfelt happiness.

"Uncle, why do you want to drink today?" In my impression, my uncle doesn't even know how to drink when he attends parties in small towns. He is strict with me, and he is extremely self-disciplined with himself.

After hearing this, my uncle just smiled, gulped down a big gulp of beer, and put a piece of blue cheese into his mouth.

After chewing for a long time, he said slowly to me: "Henmer, today is your 14th birthday. From today onwards, you are a real man, a real man who can inherit the glory of the Corinan family."

"Wait, the Corinan family?" I was tasting the beer again, but I couldn't speak for a long time. "Uncle, what is the Corinan family? Isn't your surname Lionel?"

"Hummer, Corinan is your family's surname, and your full name is Helmer Collinan. Corinan is your paternal surname."

I was at a loss after hearing this. Since I was a child, my uncle has always told me that my name is Hummer Lionel and I am the illegitimate son of my mother. Even if I ask repeatedly, my uncle is unwilling to tell me any information about my father. , Just say that my father is sorry for my mother.

"Hummer, today is your coming-of-age ceremony. I didn't prepare any gift for you, so I returned your surname to you. Your original name was Hummer Corinan, and your father's name was Sylvie Collinan , is the second son of the Corinan family. No..." The uncle took a sip of beer, swallowed heavily and continued, "It's not that I'm sorry for your mother."

"Then why did my parents leave me here? What's the matter with them dying of sudden illness?" My thoughts were confused because of the alcohol.

The beam of the lantern swayed back and forth, and my uncle's face flickered.

But there was no wind in the room.

He stood up strangely, opened the lampshade, and was about to take a closer look, when suddenly the flame of the lantern seemed to be stimulated and directed, and it exploded, becoming as huge as a torch in the blink of an eye.

My uncle was frightened and stayed where I was. I hadn’t reacted because of the alcohol. The fire ball seemed to be alive. It went straight around my uncle and rushed towards me. In an instant, the fire ball was in front of my eyes.

The scorching heat drove most of my drunkenness away. In the midst of despair, a wooden stick split the fire mass in two. In the gap, I saw my uncle holding the usual latch and standing there panting. After the fireball, seeing that I was still standing there stupidly, I threw down the latch, pulled me up and ran out the door.

As soon as I ran outside the door, the fireball had already chased me out, and my uncle blocked me behind.

At the critical juncture, a mass of clear spring flowed past my ears, bringing a trace of coolness. In the blink of an eye, the water flow had already blocked the gap between my uncle and the flames. In the entanglement of water and fire, there was a faint familiar feeling in my mind.

Without waiting to think about it, my uncle pulled me up and ran out of the courtyard, all the way to the town street.

I was so overwhelmed by alcohol that I was lying on the ground unable to move. My uncle dragged me and was about to get up when suddenly a drop of hot liquid dripped down my face.

I wiped my face, the fishy smell made me sick, and I was about to vomit, when suddenly, with the light from the door of a shop on the side of the road, I saw big drops of black-red liquid dripping from my uncle's chest, and he A palm-wide wound seemed to be torn out of his chest out of thin air, and blood gushed out from the wound.

How could this be? "Uncle! Uncle! Uncle Laine!" I yelled heart-piercingly, but my uncle just kept vomiting blood and muttering to me to run.

I put him on the ground, tried my best to cover the wound, then tore off the clothes on my arms, and tore them into strips to cover his chest.The wound is still bleeding.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind him coldly: "Don't bother, you will go to that world with him soon."

I turned around and wiped away my tears, and stared fiercely at the woman in front of me: "You killed Uncle Laine?"

The woman rubbed her fingers and looked at me. Her fingertips seemed to be spinning rapidly. Regardless of other things, I turned around and rushed towards her.

She didn't seem to have expected that I would be so desperate for my life, and she had no time to dodge, and was thrown to the ground by me.

But before I raised my angry fist and hit her face under the black robe, I was already lifted up by a gust of air, throwing me a few meters away.

I got up covered in mud, looked at the woman in front of me, and suddenly realized that I couldn't see her face clearly at all. Even if I tried to look, with the help of the light, I only felt that I was looking at a cloud of mist, which seemed to be nothing. looming.

Before I could charge towards her again, a knife-like airflow rushed towards my chest. I hurriedly turned sideways to dodge it, but the second air knife had already flown in front of my eyes.

At the very moment, another stream of water flew past me, wrapped the air knife, spun around a few times, and landed on the ground, leaving only shallow water stains.

The woman was about to step forward when she saw that her wind magic had been dispelled, so she stood where she was and looked around.

I was puzzled, why did the water save my life both times?

Suddenly, another man with a mask came out from behind the woman, and laughed loudly: "Water is the purest substance created by the universe, and it must be controlled by the purest people in the world. The Hurley family is here?"

After finishing speaking, a green robe suddenly appeared in front of me. I couldn't see the figure from behind, but it sounded like he was from the Hurley family that the masked man said.

The Hurley family member said coldly: "Evil Mage, what a coincidence, we didn't look for you, and you delivered it yourself?"

The masked man smiled, and said in a sharp clown-like voice: "Hey, it seems that there are still old friends coming today? If I'm not wrong, it's the high-ranking knight commander Alan Steele, right?"

"That's right! Evil Mage! Today is your day of death! I will judge you with the honor of a knight!"

A short knight in silver mail armor dragged a two-handed sword that was much longer than his height, and suddenly jumped in front of me, looked back at me, then turned his head, and rushed towards the masked man without looking back.

The masked man seemed unwilling to stop him, he took a step back, and a cloud of black mist gathered in his hand. As soon as the short knight came in front of him, the masked man let go of his palm, and the black mist spread rapidly. In an instant, the world was pitch black.

I looked around in a daze, and suddenly, another circle of water gushed out from the hands of the man in green robe, wrapping around the few of us, dispelling the black mist around us.

At this time, the woman who was on the side had quietly raised her hand and aimed at the man in the green robe. I knew that this was the move that took my uncle's life just now.

Before I had time to think about it, I yelled: "Be careful!" The green-robed man was casting a spell, he heard my yelling, and looked forward.

At this time, a cold light flashed, and if you look carefully, the short knight has already rushed in front of the woman with a knife. The woman was unable to dodge, and a deep wound was cut on her forearm. The bone seemed to be faintly exposed under the wound, and the woman was limp in pain. on the ground.

Seeing that the woman was injured, the masked man sneered: "There will be a period later." He raised his hand and sent out an air knife and flew towards the knight. After being blocked by the knight's knife, the masked man took the opportunity to cover himself and the woman with a black robe, and a white mass under his feet The smoke rose rapidly, and in an instant, it disappeared without a trace.

After an unknown amount of time, the short knight ran up to me, put down his knife, and helped me up. Seeing that my eyes were dull and dull, he knew that my mind was lost.

So he muttered something in his mouth, and pointed a little golden light on my forehead.

As if my whole body had been exposed to the sun, I came back to my senses and looked at the knight, but suddenly thought of my uncle, so I broke away from the knight, ran to his uncle, and cried bitterly.

The green-robed man followed the masked man and the woman all the way, and returned in the middle of the night, when the short knight and I had already buried my uncle.

After calming down my emotions, the green-robed man and the short knight whispered, walked up to me and said, "We will take you back to Merlin College."

"You're mistaken, I haven't heard of Merlin College, and I don't go anywhere." I sat silently by my uncle's grave in the backyard, and only my uncle's honest and serious face and the rare happy smile earlier tonight were in my mind .

It's all too confusing, what to do?
Turning 14 tonight, I got a gift of adulthood - my surname, Corinan, but lost my dearest relative, an elder who raised me like a father.

The little knight seemed to see through everything, and said, "Humer, I have come to bring you this today."

After speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket. The wax seal on the envelope was a Scottish golden eagle, and the words Merlin College were written around it.

I opened the letter and it read: "Dear Mr. Hummer Lionel, I am here to inform you that after many evaluations and recommended by the Dean of Holmead College, you are invited to join Merlin College , looking forward to your visit." The end is signed by Il Sely.

I suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you guys from Merlin College?"

The short knight looked at the man in the green robe. The man in the green robe kept his back to me and refused to speak. After a long time, the short knight nodded.

I then asked, "Can you teach me revenge? I want to catch that woman and that sissy masked man with my own hands."

"And then? So what if you catch them? Are you going to kill them?" The green-robed man finally spoke, but his tone was unusually blunt and full of hostility.

I stood up abruptly and said, "I'm not going to kill them, and my uncle doesn't want me to become a murderer, just like them. I want them to receive the justice they deserve. A fair trial."

When I mentioned the words of fair trial, I looked at the short knight, who was so excited that he seemed to be jumping on the spot.

At this moment, the green-robed man stopped talking, but motioned me to his side. The short knight held my shoulders and gave me a thumbs-up, but I was not in the mood to look at his cheerful eyes.My mind is full of images of that sissy masked man and that woman.

I will definitely catch you with my own hands.
