After the war, the village is full of the smell of death and destruction. Without a complete building and a haystack without fire, all the residents have disappeared with the war in the sound of killing. Once the scale of the war rises to the country and even the race, there will be no mercy in the war. Just as people don''t care about killing ants that invade their rooms, no one feels guilty about killing an alien colony in a war. What lies on the ground is no longer human beings, but just some soulless pieces of meat. Countless crows fall on every roof and every fence of the village. Their eyes see so much food that their little brain can''t count.

    Blood and water muddy mixing together, the color of each puddle is suspicious. The cow leather shoes with excellent workmanship have stepped on the muddy soil road, and its owner seems not to care that the expensive leather shoes become dirty. Strangers walking in the deserted village startled the crows who tasted food. When the figure in grey robe passed by, those greedy birds eating carrion would rise from the ground like clouds.

    The lonely figure seemed to be searching for something in the village. However, he did not seem to have any intention to search for it. He just walked slowly in the village, and his sight under his hood looked around at random. He was not uncomfortable with the terrible scene in the village. But no matter what the man is looking for, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to get a satisfactory answer in this small village which has been destroyed and has no possibility of restoration. And he seems to be aware of it.

    Just as the grey robed man was about to leave the ruins and head for a carriage not far away, a slight sound attracted him. The man in grey robe can be sure that the noise is not made by crows, but in this place like hell, what else can there be besides crows? No matter what the sound is, it always gives the grey robed man some hope. He walks slowly to the place where the sound comes from, which is a well that seems to have been buried by debris.

    Easily using his gloved hands to remove the seemingly heavy objects from the well, the grey robed man is obviously more powerful than the average adult. In the process of removing the debris, the dust and debris that had been attached to the debris inevitably fell into the well below. A burst of suppressed but failed cough let the grey robed man know that he was looking for the right place. There is a child hidden in the well.

    The sudden sunlight in the well made the child who had been hiding in the well very uncomfortable. He blocked his eyes with his hand which did not grasp the well rope. The child has black hair and yellow skin that is different from most parts of the mainland. All these let the grey robed man make sure that the child who escaped in the bucket in front of him should be the last orphan of the village.

    With a final confirmation, the man in grey said to the little boy in the well in the local language with some accents.

    "Look at me, child." There seemed to be magic in his voice. The boy in the well almost instinctively lowered his hand in front of his eyes according to the words of the man in grey robe. When his black eyes looked at the man in grey, the corner of his mouth under his hood rose slightly. Good. It seems that there is no problem with hearing and vision.

    "Listen, boy, you can say what I say next. If you can repeat exactly what I said, I''ll get you out of the well and give you food and drink. Do you understand? " The man in grey said in a cold voice, and when he noticed that the boy''s pupils contracted slightly when it came to eating and drinking, he knew that the other side understood his words.

    Next, a series of strange sounds with unknown meaning were emitted from the mouth of the man in grey robe. This sound was obviously not the language he used just now. In fact, most languages in the world do not arrange these tones and pitches in this way. These strange combinations make the original sound easy to pronounce alone and become extremely awkward when used continuously.

    The boy tried to listen to every syllable the man in the well said. He didn''t know how long he had been hiding in the well. Now he was too hungry and tired to even climb up the well rope. So the promise of the grey robed man is undoubtedly the only way for him to continue to live. The strange voice of the grey robed man didn''t last long. It was only about five seconds. But just recording the five seconds'' pronunciation has consumed most of the child''s energy.

    A few minutes later, just as the grey robed man''s patience was about to be wiped out, the boy in the mine spoke. There was no unnecessary prayer or question that would not be answered. As soon as he opened his mouth, he began to repeat what the grey robed man had just said. Maybe it''s because of thirst. No one knows how long this child has been hanging here. His voice is very hoarse. Even on some syllables, he will break or lose his voice. But the expression on the grey robe''s face soon changed from impatience to surprise, and then to ecstasy.

    Because the child repeated exactly what he had just said! The endless mystery is that the untrained magic apprentice can recite one-third of the incantation he just said at one time, which is considered to be excellent talent. However, the child perfectly recites it when he first contacts this special pronunciation method. Suddenly, the grey robed man felt that it was worthwhile to walk through most of the world alone and follow the prophecy to come here.In this ecstasy, the grey robed man lifted the bucket from the well where the child was sitting. When he took the boy out of the barrel, he was extremely cautious, for fear of hurting the child''s body. The grey robed man didn''t ask his child what his name was and who else was in his family, because at the moment the child was found by the grey robed man, these things had nothing to do with him. He did not need the previous name or the blood compatriots. From today on, he will become his first apprentice.

    "Listen, boy." after handing the boy a water bag and a white flour bag containing clear spring water, the man in grey said to him, "from now on, your name will be..."

    "Ah With a scream, cheese suddenly woke up from his dream. His head was in agony, as if a group of drunken dwarf miners had revelled in it. This forced cheese to close his eyes and squeeze his temples with both hands to dispel the pain.

    "Hahaha, poor little fellow, do you think your headache is like a group of drunken dwarf miners reveling in it?" A happy and old voice came from the master''s not far away.
