Wizard: I can refine everything

The Heisen Ridge is extremely cold in winter, and the wind and snow blowing from the Beiman Mountains are like a bucket of white paint decorating the dirty Heisen collar with pure whiteness.

In a dilapidated wooden house with drafts on all sides outside the Hessian Territory, Richard wrapped himself tightly in his single clothes and huddled in the hay to reduce heat loss.

"His...it's so cold. Foolish...as a time traveler, I'm really fucking miserable."

A month ago, Richard came to this world because of a traffic accident and became the son of old Richard, a farmer under the rule of Baron Hesse.

Old Richard was a rotten drunkard. Under the care of this alcoholic father, Richard was starved and beaten every day.

What's even more tragic is that due to long-term malnutrition, Richard's thin body can't even resist.

Fortunately, the drunkard is dead now.

But the bad news is that this drunkard has replaced all the family's valuable things with low-quality soju, and Richard has eaten up the last grain of food in the family a day ago.

Cold, hungry, and traumatized by a drunkard who froze to death in the snow three days ago, Richard huddled in the haystack, feeling like he was about to ascend to heaven the next moment.

"Can't sleep, absolutely can't sleep! You are a time traveler with golden fingers, how could you fall in a place like this!" Richard forced his eyes open and kept cheering himself up.

Yes, the time-traveling Richard does not actually have a golden finger.

When he traveled to Little Richard, he discovered that there was a furnace deep in his soul.

But what this furnace could do, Richard never knew.

But no matter what its function was, it gave Richard a glimmer of hope at this time.

For a person who is about to drown, a straw is also a life-saving glimmer.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, Richard seemed to hear a knock on the door.

Who would visit us on such a cold day?

Bang!

Seeing no response, the person outside the door kicked the door open.

"Old Richard, are you still alive?"

Richard suddenly woke up and struggled to stand up from the hay.

He recognized the voice. The person who came in was Mr. Ellison, the steward of the territory and the chief steward of the Hessian territory.

"Lord Affairs Officer, my father froze to death two days ago, but I am still alive. If you have anything to do, please leave it to me."

The territorial affairs officer is a big shot, and he will never come to a farmer's house in person for no reason.

This is an opportunity!

"Oh, you're Little Richard, right?"

Mr. Ellison looked at Richard with a frown, took a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his nose.

But it's not his fault, because Richard looks really bad now.

The shawl that had not been taken care of for a long time, the long hair hanging in locks on the head, the dirty face, the single clothes covered with dirt, and the wounds that had turned black and rotten due to lack of treatment.

Compared with Richard, the tramp was handsome, clean and tidy.

"I am little Richard, Lord Steward." Richard forced himself to make a half-bow.

Rumor has it that Mr. Ellison is a man who attaches great importance to etiquette. Even when facing the stupidest country farmer, he will take the trouble to ask him to exercise correct etiquette.

Now Richard hopes the rumor is true.

Looking at Richard who was bowing, a trace of surprise flashed in the steward's eyes.

Having been dealing with untouchables for many years, he was no longer surprised by the untouchables' rudeness. Although he often corrected the etiquette of these untouchables, he was actually numb to this issue.

The brains of untouchables are not designed to remember noble etiquette.

But the child in front of him was still able to salute when he was about to freeze to death, which undoubtedly touched his heart.

Nobles cannot lose their etiquette even in death, and he saw a trace of aristocratic spirit in Richard.

"Good boy, as long as you are alive. Come with me and do whatever I want you to do later." Mr. Ellison said gently.

"Yes, sir."

Walking out of the wooden house, thick clouds covered the entire sky, like a curtain blocking the poorest source of heat - the sun.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Richard shivered from the cold.

Richard only had a single layer of clothing on him, and in front of the cold wind, what little clothes he had was almost like nothing at all.

"Dammit, guard! Take off your clothes! Hurry!"

Seeing Richard's appearance, Mr. Ellison frowned, turned around and ordered the soldiers following him to take off their cotton coats.

The soldier who was ordered stiffened. It was unreasonable for him to take off his clothes in such a cold weather and give it to a smelly untouchable.

"Sir, if one is missing, then one is missing. The territory is so big, and the wizard doesn't know how many children he has." The soldier who was ordered muttered.

"Shut up! Don't use your little cleverness to speculate on the wisdom of the wizard!"

When he heard the soldier mentioning wizards, Mr. Ellison's expression suddenly changed and he immediately yelled at the soldier.

"If I hear you say that again, you're going to be hanged! Take off your clothes right now and put them on this kid!"

But speaking without intention, listening with intention.

Richard, who was staying aside, was shocked when he heard the word wizard.

wizard!

There is magic in this world!

When Richard came to this world, he also inquired about extraordinary news, but he was helpless because Hessen was a remote place and his status was very low. After some inquiries, he found out nothing except strange stories from the countryside.

But looking at it now, there should be extraordinary power in this world.

Putting on the cotton-padded clothes, the cotton-padded clothes with the body temperature of the soldier instantly made Richard feel a lot more comfortable.

The soldier's outspokenness certainly ruined the good mood that the official had gotten from Richard. He said to Richard loudly with a gloomy face.

"Put on your clothes and get moving! The wizard is impatient, we will all die!"

Following the official in the carriage, Richard soon arrived at the Baron's Castle in the center of the territory.

The castle hall was dim, and the torches on the wall and the stove in the center of the hall provided light for the entire hall.

In the center of the hall, hundreds of children, rich and poor, gathered together, quietly waiting for the wizard in the depths of the hall to speak.

"Wizard, Baron, all the children aged twelve to fifteen in the territory are here."

The official reported to the depths of the hall, and in the depths of the hall, a figure wearing a black robe and a tricorn hat slowly stood up.

"Hehehe! There are not enough children in your Hesse Territory, Delis."

Beside him, Richard saw the fat Hesse Baron with a flattering face, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Yes, sir, the harvests in the past two years have not been very good, and many untouchables have starved to death."

"That won't do." The black-robed wizard patted Baron Hessen, frightening him.

"The academy needs children of school age to enroll. If I don't have enough children, the academy will punish me."

"But I don't want to be punished."

"So if I come to Hessen Territory next time and you still have so few children...

You can just wait to become a maggot and eat shit in the toilet for the rest of your life!"

The wizard's tone became heavier and heavier, and at the end, the words that were almost like the roar of a beast made the whole hall quiet down.

"Very good." The black-robed wizard turned his head and looked at the children in the hall, "The hall is quiet too."

"Now, line up one by one and come to me one by one for the test.

Don't let me say this a second time."

Hearing the wizard's words, the children in the hall immediately lined up.

They may not know how powerful the wizard is, but after looking at Baron Hessen's pale face without powder, any child knows what to do next.

Richard was in the middle of the group of children, at the corner of the team, and he could see the black-robed wizard in the depths of the hall.

Richard saw the wizard take out a crystal ball from under his black robe, and then asked the child to put his hand on it. Then the crystal ball lit up slightly, and the wizard announced the test results.

"Nine points of mental power, failed, next one."

"Eight points of mental power, failed."

"Seven points of mental power, failed."

"Ten points of mental power, the line. You stand behind me."

"Nine points of mental power, failed."

...

The test went very quickly, and soon it was Richard's turn.

"Failed, next one."

The child in front of Richard walked aside, and Richard walked to the wizard nervously.

After approaching, Richard finally saw the face hidden by the shadow of the tricorn hat.

Unexpectedly, the wizard's appearance was not scary, with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a pair of monocles clamped on the deep eye sockets.

Overall, this face even looks kind.

But for some reason, Richard's body trembled unconsciously when he stood in front of him.

It felt like a prey meeting a predator!

"Put your hand on the crystal ball."

"Yes, Master Wizard."

Richard put his hand on the crystal ball nervously, and then silently waited for his fate.

Whether to freeze to death in the broken house or follow the wizard, it all depends on this.

The crystal ball gradually lit up, and something like an electric current flowed from the crystal ball along the arm into Richard's body.

This power circulated along Richard's body and finally entered Richard's brain.

At the same time, the furnace deep in Richard's soul seemed to be awakened by the power.

A message came out of the furnace.

[Miracle Furnace has been opened]

At the same time, the black-robed wizard also announced Richard's test results.

"Fifteen points of mental power, passed!"
