Collapse of iron, but I am the Supreme Strange

"Don't be sad, dear." An Yi reached out and touched Clara's head: "It's just a watch."

“But, but this is—” Clara bit her lip and looked up into An Yi’s eyes: “This is what Clara wanted to give to Brother An Yi. These parts—they were all pieced together by everyone in the mechanical settlement. It took a long, long time to collect these things, and it took a long time to make them... This is all the kindness of everyone, but Clara was unable to pass it on to Brother An Yi.”

She slowly lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "It's all Clara's fault for not protecting it... I'm sorry, Brother An Yi, it's all Clara's fault..."

"——A gift for me?" An Yi frowned slightly, then half-knelt on the ground and gently took the watch from Clara's hand.

"Huh?" Clara looked at An Yi with some confusion.

An Yi raised his finger, causing the parts on the ground to float up, and then reassembled them inside the watch, and then covered the cracked glass shell.

"The core is broken!" Clara said to An Yi anxiously, "Brother An Yi, the watch will be inaccurate..."

But An Yi didn't care. Instead, he smiled and put the watch on his left wrist.

"Well, the battle-damaged style has a unique flavor to appreciate." An Yi waved his arms left and right and looked at it: "No one has ever given me such a valuable thing. It is very commemorative. Clara, there is no need to repair or redo it. This is very good."

"Eh? But--" Clara looked at An Yi's actions, her eyes trembled for a moment, then she lowered her head with a very sad expression on her face: "Brother An Yi is comforting Clara, right? Yes, I'm sorry... Actually, Brother An Yi doesn't need to say that, Clara... Clara has to go back and apologize to the uncles and aunts in the mechanical settlement. Clara was wrong and should take responsibility..."

"......" An Yi looked at Clara and was silent for a while.

"Ah——" An Yi sighed helplessly, then suddenly reached out and gently hugged Clara.

"Oh, don't be sad. Clara, what you said just now was a little too kind." An Yi patted her back gently: "This is the fault of the guards sent by Cocolia. This is an ugly struggle between adults. Don't take the blame on yourself, okay?"

An Yi's intimate action made Clara stunned for a moment, but An Yi's gentle tone made her feel very at ease, so Clara reached out involuntarily and grabbed An Yi's clothes.

"But... why did everyone become like this..."

Clara buried her head gently on An Yi's shoulder, her tone a little frustrated: "It's something that can be solved by talking to each other and understanding each other... Brother An Yi, why did someone get hurt and someone died because of this?"

"Mutual understanding..." An Yi said slowly: "People in the upper and lower areas can't even meet each other, so how can they understand each other? If the train crew hadn't come to the lower area, Beloberg...maybe he would really be destroyed as Swarovski said."

An Yi's words made Clara's eyes widen. No one knew what she was thinking about. She stood there in a daze, biting her lips, and looked very complicated.

After a long while, Clara's body trembled slightly, and then she spoke to An Yi:

"It was Brother An Yi's magic that saved us..."

She raised her head and slightly loosened her grip on An Yi's body: "It's magic. Magic allows us to live the way we do now. If there are no more rifts and cold waves in the upper and lower areas, then... can we all live in peace and no longer fight?"

So An Yi also let go of his hand, but he remained in a half-kneeling position, looking at Clara.

"Brother An Yi, I, I also want to protect everyone--" Clara clenched her fists, took a deep breath and said: "Can you tell Clara, how can we change this world and change everyone's ideas? Clara... Clara also wants to help everyone in Beloberg like Brother An Yi!"

There were a few tears in Clara's wine-red eyes, and An Yi's figure was reflected in them, which was surprisingly bright.

In fact, An Yi felt that Clara's eyes seemed to be constantly flashing at him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

An Yi nodded, stood up, and held Clara's little hand.

"Come with me," he said.

Several people in the train crew followed An Yi, very curious about what An Yi was going to do next.

An Yi took Clara to the center of the street, then clapped his hands a few times, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, put down what you are doing--" he shouted, "The mine cart and other things will be repaired later, and the pickaxe, these things can be easily sharpened with a stone. Come to my place, I have something important to announce!"

So the miners, wanderers, members of the Underworld, and the Silver Mane Iron Guards who had taken refuge in the lower areas stopped what they were doing, looked at each other, and came over.

Xier put away her sickle, walked up to An Yi and said with some doubt:

"What's wrong?" she asked, "Are you going to cast some powerful magic again?"

The last time An Yi gathered everyone together, he used magic to transform the entire Panyan Town. I wonder what the reason is this time.

"Master An Yi!" A wanderer came up to An Yi and asked him, "Can we add a cover to the lower area? So that those guys in the upper area can't come down? What they did today was too much!"

"If you ask me, we should just renovate the place where Kokolia lives - what's it called? Right, Klipperburg!" said another miner. "Make it as good as the old Rock Town! Let Kokolia also have a taste of what it feels like to eat lizard jerky!"

These people gathered together and started discussing the matter, until An Yi stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture, and everyone quieted down again.

"The issue this time is not about transforming the lower class districts, nor is it about retaliating against the upper class districts," An Yi replied, "but I think you will definitely be interested."

An Yi's eyes swept over everyone, and then he spoke slowly:

"Only one person - who among you wants to learn magic from me and become the apprentice of the Supreme Sorcerer?"

Chapter 5.6: Entrance Test for Mystic Mage (k)

An Yi's words were like a bombshell dropped into the crowd, and everyone went wild with a bang.

"what?!"

"Master An Yi is going to accept a disciple?!"

"Can we become Mr. An Yi's students?!"

they exclaimed.

"Wait, An Yi, do you mean that magic can be learned?" Luca widened his eyes and asked An Yi.

"Yes. Magic is not innate - no, that's not right." An Yi pinched his chin and thought for a while: "It's true that some people are born with magic, and some people are gifted and can learn it right away, but apart from these individual cases, well... magic can indeed be learned, from scratch, and gradually improved."

An Yi's words caused a great uproar among the crowd. Everyone in the lower area, including Xi'er, Natasha and the others, believed that An Yi was some kind of "god", or "god's messenger". To use a more localized name, he might be a "commander" of a star god. They believed that the magic used by An Yi was a kind of "destiny".

The improvement of destiny cannot be summarized by just "learning" - now listening to An Yi's explanation, it seems that magic is a new power system, completely different from destiny? And anyone is qualified to learn it?

These miners and wanderers had their eyes wide open and their faces flushed, as if they had something to say in their hearts.

"Lord Anyi...Lord Anyi has such powerful magic? Can we learn it too?" Pella asked.

"Yes, it's OK. With a little guidance from the Supreme Mage and some magic books and magical instruments, it won't be a difficult thing." An Yi replied.

"But we are just ordinary miners!" Someone else shouted: "We can do nothing but mining!"

"If you know how to do it, why do you need me to teach you?" An Yi was amused by his words: "Okay, okay, so is there anyone who wants to learn? Now please raise your hands!"

Swish————

As soon as An Yi finished speaking, the large circle of people who had gathered around him all raised their hands in unison.

Some people stood on tiptoe, trying to raise their hands higher, while others pushed forward, trying to get in front of An Yi, thinking that this would attract his attention.

This strange scene seemed like some kind of mysterious ritual for a moment.

"I never thought I'd have the opportunity to learn magic!" Xier raised her hand and approached An Yi, shouting, "An Yi! I want to learn!"

"Ahahaha... Although I'm already quite old, I still don't want to let go of this opportunity." Oleg smiled awkwardly, then raised his hand: "Lord Anyi, do you think I have this opportunity?"

"Brother Anyi!" Hook's small figure suddenly squeezed out from the crowd and pounced on Anyi's legs: "I want to learn, I want to learn! Hook also wants to learn magic! Only then can he be the dark Lord Hook!"

Alina and Julian also followed Hook with great effort, bowing to Anyi and shouting, "I, we also want to try, Brother Anyi!"

Clara watched the actions of the mole gang and pursed her lips. She was standing next to An Yi, so she pulled the corner of An Yi's clothes, and when An Yi's eyes fell on her, she timidly raised her hand.

"Clara...I want to be like Brother An Yi..." she said in a low voice.

"oh......"

An Yi couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the number of people who signed up is a bit beyond imagination. But the number of places will not increase. I just want to provide one-on-one tutoring."

He pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "It seems that I have to make a brief selection - oh?"

Before An Yi could finish his words, he felt his left and right shoulders being patted hard.

An Yi turned around and in front of him were the big faces of Xing and Sanyueqi, one on each side.

"Hey, An Yi..." Sanyueqi had a malicious expression on his face.

"We are partners in common development." Xing smiled and stared into An Yi's eyes.

"Even we haven't been taught that." San Yueqi pouted.

"Isn't that a bit unfair?" Xing echoed her.

"..." An Yi gently placed his hands on the foreheads of the two girls and pushed them slightly away: "I give in to you... You two don't look like you like studying."

"But that's magic!" San Yueqi grabbed Anyi's left arm and shook it hard.

"I want to learn, I want to learn! I will definitely read the book seriously!" She and Xing raised their hands and waved them back and forth in front of An Yi.

"Can you two learn Dan Heng? He didn't even raise his hand to sign up." An Yi said helplessly.

"...?"

Dan Heng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The eyes of several people in the train crew were all on him, so he thought for a moment and slowly raised his hand.

"Well, I'm actually somewhat interested as well." Dan Heng said, "I'm what you call a person who likes to study. How about it, An Yi?"

"?" An Yi looked at Dan Heng who was trying to sabotage him, and helplessly held his forehead. "You will have a chance in the future, but the focus now is on the Beloberg people - and the people from the lower level of Beloberg. Don't look at me like that, Sanyue...Xing, this is really...Okay, I really can't do anything about you, wait until this pioneering mission is completed, okay? I will definitely give you this chance."

"really?"

"Bao's brother." An Yi replied with a smile: "Dingzhen, more real than Ding Zhen."

"Yeah! An Yi is so nice!" Sanyueqi shouted excitedly.

After getting An Yi's promise, Sanyueqi and Xing finally let go of their hands.

"Alas... I always feel that you will cause trouble." An Yi smiled, turned around and looked at everyone, and announced to them: "Okay. There are too many people, I have to add some restrictions - the first requirement is that you must be from the lower class area of ​​​​Beloberg, only those who were born in the lower class area."

"Huh?" Pella and the other Silver Mane Iron Guards who had come to join them all looked annoyed when they heard this: "Can they only be residents of the lower districts?"

"That's right, because my goal is to train a magician to protect the lower area from the threat of Cocolia and her army. I hope you can understand." An Yi said.

Those people who were born in the upper class areas put down their hands helplessly and sighed heavily. This was the first time they suffered failure due to their household registration.

The remaining people who raised their hands were miners and wanderers from the lower levels, so An Yi continued:

"The second requirement is that I only need to be able to read and write... No, I should say that I need to be extremely smart and passionate about studying!" An Yi said, "Those who are not confident in their learning ability can give up. Learning magic is more difficult than you think."

After An Yi finished saying this, some miners who were illiterate or had never read a few books were forced to slowly withdraw their hands.

"Ah? You have to have read books?" Xier's eyes widened: "How can this be? If I had known this, I would have - oh, forget it... Even if I were a kid again, I don't think I would have read books seriously."

Xier scratched her head in trouble and put down her hand.

"Oh, what a pity." Oleg couldn't help but laugh. "Although I used to be educated, I haven't sat on a chair to study for more than ten or twenty years. It seems that I have no chance to learn magic!"

"Hook." An Yi lowered his head and stared at the little girl under him: "Lying is not good."

"Dark Lord Hook really likes reading!" Hook still held up her hand, and even waved it in front of Anyi: "I, I look for books to read in Sister Natasha's clinic every day! Sister Natasha taught me to read and recognize characters, and I learned very quickly!"

"Do you like reading?" An Yi smiled slightly and asked while staring at Hook.

"Yes, that's right..." Hook looked away guiltily when An Yi looked at him like this.

"I'll go check with Dr. Natasha—"

"I'm sorry! Hook shouldn't have lied! Wuuwuwu—"

Hook's quick kneeling posture made everyone laugh, and the crowd was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"The rest of them are..." An Yi looked at the few people in front of him who were still raising their hands: "They are the ones who think quickly and can study patiently, right?"

Among these people, there is the owner of the Rock Town Fighting Club, the club's commentator Dr. Juju, the proprietress of the Goethe Hotel, some members of the Earth Fire, and some wanderers from the mechanical settlement.

Of course, Clara still raised her hand. She stood beside An Yi, listening to An Yi's other requests nervously.

"Hmm." An Yi pinched his chin, looked at these people, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"The third request," he shouted, "is that—"

boom! ! ! ! !

Before An Yi could finish his words, a loud bang exploded in everyone's ears.

A confusing situation suddenly occurred. The ground began to shake violently, like a wooden boat swaying in a storm and tsunami.

No one understood what was going on, and the violent shaking caused everyone to fall to the ground.

"Ah! Ah!" the people shouted, "What on earth is going on?"

"Was it an earthquake? It must be an earthquake!"

"What should we do? Will the lower area be buried?"

"Where is Lord An Yi? Lord An Yi, please save him——"
