Chapter 62 Kunzhen
Rhone is located in the south of the world, with the most diverse terrain and a rich variety of species.
In the north of the Kingdom of Garno, there is a plateau called the North Plateau. In ancient times more than a thousand years ago, it was a land that even the enemy army was unwilling to set foot on, but it was a place that ancient military strategists must fight for.
The Northern Plateau is rich in excellent camel beasts and powerful and easy-to-taught war beasts. At the same time, various resources are also spread throughout this vast land, from the salt lake on which the people depend for their lives to ordinary iron ore, to the almost open-pit crystal mines, and the girls among the plateau fairies... This land began to become famous with its output.
When the terrifying plateau fairy was forced to retreat to the snow-capped mountains by hunting from the mainland mercenaries, when the savage and fierce werewolf tribe was defeated by the Kingdom Heavy Corps, the northern plateau was completely controlled by the Kingdom of Gano.
A family named "Touan" took root in this land, and together they were stationed with thousands of cavalry regiments and a reorganized mage team. In the next nearly a hundred years, the Toan family strengthened themselves, while using light or dark means to defeat all competitors who came to develop the North Plateau one after another, and became the only great noble on this land.
In order to fight against the dissatisfaction from the royal family, they recruited soldiers and forced the royal family to be cautious about them, while trying their best to declare their loyalty to the kingdom. At the same time, they began to win over the native races on the northern plateaus-
Werewolf tribe!
They intermarried with werewolfs, consolidated their rule over the North Plateau and sought better offspring. They recruited academic mages with generous salaries to develop more powerful magic weapons and create more powerful war monsters. They became the essential rulers of the North Plateau...
This is the famous Northland wolf family, a behemoth that has lasted for thousands of years.
Until now, the Kingdom of Cano and the Kingdom of Iron Horse have disappeared from the historical stage, but the descendants of the Wolf of the North still occupy important seats in various fields such as politics, military, business, culture and magic research. Modern people often see important figures named Toan in the media.
But all of this is not as loud as another name from the North Plateau.
Kunzhen!
Not only the Wolf of the North is not as good as him, but his own light even overshadowed the entire era!
This wisest figure who was praised by later generations as the wisest ever in the entire plane was born on the banks of Yanhu Lake on the Northland Plateau, which is the original headquarters of the Wolf of the Northland. Later, due to strategic reasons, the Wolf of the Northland left this place and left only a castle as a military base to guard Yanhu, the largest salt-producing land in the Kingdom of the Cano at that time.
Kunzhen was born in such a salt workers' family.
At that time, the Wolf Family of Northland was at its peak. In order to respond to the kingdom's orders to train mages and to accumulate more strength for themselves, they established eight magic academies throughout the plateau. Like most magic academies in the world, this academies showed great tolerance for students' origins - whether you are a civilian migrating from the mainland or a small nobleman who came to hunt for gold, whether you are a fairy, an orc, or other wise creatures, as long as you can prove that you have the talent to practice magic, and do not trigger the laws and the rules of the kingdom and the academy, and meet the admission regulations, you can join the magic academies.
One of the academies is right next to Yanhu Lake.
This is an opportunity to jump into the dragon gate, a hundred times more than the college entrance examination.
Many salt workers in Salt Lake have sent their children in batches to the Magic Academy for magic compatibility testing with the mentality of "Anyway, there is no cost to the government subsidy anyway, and they will not suffer any loss if they have passed it. Once they have passed, they will be developed."
Some people succeed, some people fail.
I have been to the North Plateau for more than a hundred years. Under the policy of the Toan family, the existing civilians have more or less the bloodline of plateau fairies or werewolfs. Not to mention their spell talent, at least one-third of the magic compatibility can meet the minimum requirements for the recruitment of Kingdom Academy. This means that as long as I am not a fool, I have at least 80% chance of becoming an apprentice mage after studying for a few years. After a little training, a person who can use apprentice spells and knows a lot about runes and magic will be very popular whether they join the army or go to work.
That day, there was a strong wind blowing in Yanhu, and there seemed to be many small water droplets floating in the air, and they tasted salty in their mouths. The children who were sent to the Glacier Magic Academy for testing were back-
Some children of little nobles were sitting in carriages, some children from wealthy families rode thin horses or deer, and more were salt workers who were crowded on hard trucks to endure bumps and grasped the wooden boards to prevent them from falling. These children, who were no more than fifteen years old, had different expressions. Some had uncontrollable joy on their faces, some were full of frustration, and some were crying on their cheeks.
Cheng Yun saw the handsome boy sitting alone at the end of a cart in his dream. His eyes were red and obviously he had not passed the academy test. But at this time he could not tolerate him crying wildly, because he had to hold on to the cart firmly and fix his body on the cart with force. Otherwise, the bumps on the road would not only make his butt bloom, but could also push him down at any time!
He kept looking at several teenagers of the same age around him.
These are all from the same village as him. They cannot usually have a good relationship, but they are all very familiar with each other. Originally, everyone was an ordinary salt worker child, but after a test, almost everyone passed the test because of one-tenth of the bloodline that a member of the North Wolf family decades ago. There was also a person with excellent magic compatibility, but he was the only one who failed the test.
From then on, he was still a salt worker's child. He probably would have been picking salt in Yanhu like his parents in the future until he died of old age. However, his fellow villager who was as ordinary as himself in the past became a student of the Magic Academy. If he was not good at helping, he would have a decent job, and the gap in identity suddenly widened.
How could he be willing!!
Following his eyes, you can see a tall and thin boy wearing a very generous cloth. The boy is already older, at least older than the people around him. Compared with the people around him, he seems thinner, more mature, and more calm. He is one of the few people who have no joy or sadness.
When the cart was parked on the shore of Salt Lake, all the civilian children got out of the car, and when they saw their parents, they were either shouting or crying loudly, and they all trotted to meet them.
The pretty boy was still staring at the tall and thin boy.
They were testing together. The handsome young man heard the trainee mage who tested them and said that the magic compatibility of his companion is very excellent among the children of ordinary people, and even among the children of nobles. But he also heard the trainee mage say that his companion is too old and comes from a poor family. Not only does he have poor material conditions, but he also lacks corresponding education when he was a child, so he may not be able to meet the conditions for becoming a mage.
The pretty boy was still very unwilling, jealous and resentful. He even cursed himself in his heart that his companion would be rejected by the Magic Academy - so that he could at least find a little balance!
The tall and thin boy he was jealous of was Kunzhen.
Without his wish, the young old wizard barely passed the admission to the glacier snowfield and signed a "work agreement" with the Wolf Family in the Northland family to exempt tuition and admission. For this reason, he had to serve the Wolf Family in the study process and even within ten years after graduation, and obeyed the order of the Wolf Family in the Northland family. And he did not have the right to choose which subject he studied, and the Wolf of Northland needs talents, he had to choose which subject he had to take.
The old wizard was assigned to one of the worst classes. Except for the first period of time, he had very little study time every day. Most of the time he used his limited knowledge as a screw to work for the Wolf Family of the Northland.
It was like entering a small magic workshop.
No one in that world knows how the old Dharma master completed his magic practice in such an environment, nor does anyone know what he has experienced. In short, the old Dharma master only took more than a year to graduate from Glacier Academy, passed all the assessments, and escaped from that dark small workshop.
At that time, the surrounding Iron Horse Kingdom began to rise and expanded greatly. The border required a large number of troops to deal with the pressure from the Iron Horse Kingdom. In response to the Kingdom's mobilization order, the Northland Wolf family had to send some newly graduated magic cadets to the war training camp for training to become advanced cannon fodder on the battlefield. At that time, the old wizard had already attracted the attention of a tutor of the academy. If it was not on this list, the tutor even planned to recommend him to go to the more advanced magic academy for further study, but he voluntarily chose to go to the training camp.
After setting foot on the battlefield, he came into contact with the members of the Border Army Mage Group with authentic magic knowledge, rather than the enlightenment education of the Glacier Academy.
After that, the old wizard took two years to obtain the honorary title of the Kingdom, terminated the agreement signed with the Wolf Family of the Northland, and left the battlefield to find the truth of his own knowledge.
He failed to stop the demise of the Kingdom of Cano, but unlike his inability to save his parents' aging - he was already very powerful at that time, but he never joined the army again, but went to all over the world more freely and easily to find wisdom.
At the same time, he is constantly spreading knowledge and wisdom, leading the progress of the world's magic level.
At that time, no one in the world did not know the name of Kun Zhen, and all those who practice magic regarded him as a god-like figure.
Gradually, the world has developed to a critical point.
The old master has been waiting for this day for a long time.
He was already one of the most powerful mages in the world at that time and stood up, united with many people who were later revered as great men to start promoting the progress of magic and technology, and used this to promote changes in all aspects such as world situation, culture, concepts, social classes, and racial estrangements.
The transfer of interests caused by the development of magic technology has led to world wars; the racial conflicts, hostility and discrimination caused by the rapid integration of the planes have led to unimaginable genocide tragedy that future generations can't imagine; the demise of old empires and the rise of forces in the new era, the establishment of alliances and the merger of old countries have been staged; many people die, and many people stand up...
It took nearly two hundred years for people to completely overturn everything in ancient times. A modern magic civilization with infinite possibilities appeared in this world, but the old wizard who was admired by everyone disappeared-
He went to find his truth!
...
This is the first time that the old Dharma Master himself appeared in Cheng Yun's dream, and the first time that he dreamed of the old Dharma Master himself.
No matter how big or small it is.
He may remember this master named Kunzhen throughout his life.
Kun Zhen is his real name, but not his real name. The real name of a mage is not fixed. It will change as the mage's understanding of magic and progress on the path of magic practice. Unless the mage says it in person, it is basically impossible for an irrelevant person to know the real name of a mage.
