When Clara? When Singh got up from the ground, her whole spirit was still in a state of confusion and confusion, and the fierce screams of panic around her formed a piercing note, which would pierce her periosteum to pain. But this kind of pain is nothing compared to the wounds on her body. Although she was still on the ground several times, she finally stood up, but perhaps to the point of too much impact and injury, she was in a trance, looking at the opposite direction of the flow of the crowd with blank eyes. In her sight, the panicked crowd looked like frightened rabbits and sheep, nay, perhaps worse than them, at least the rabbits and sheep were unlikely to knock their companions down when they fled. The terrifying roar in her ears was not over, but she could faintly hear the fierce and bloodthirsty roars of the orcs and wolves behind the fleeing crowd, like a raging hurricane, getting closer and closer.

She just stood still, looking at the qiē around her with a silent and even somewhat indifferent attitude. As if this qiē had nothing to do with him.

The girl's whole body, including her face, was covered with dirty dust, and her clothes were no longer visible in their original form. It was difficult to tell how old she was, but from her petite size, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old at most.

The girl had just added another wound to her body, which had been scratched when she had been pushed down from behind by the panicked crowd during the escape, on the way to escape. That's how most of the wounds on her body came from. Clara is proud, though. Although he is scarred, his younger brother is under his protection. But there was no injury at all.

"That's right...... Brother! The concern and concern for her loved ones finally brought her back from her confusion. With the strength that burst out of nowhere, she pushed away the oncoming crowd and ran against the flow of people.

"Lyle! Lyle! The girl called out her brother's name. Her voice was like a leaf in a big wave in the crowd of thousands, and it disappeared in an instant. But she was still screaming hoarsely, running like a mother beast that had lost her young, and she had to stop in front of almost every child of about ten years old to look at each other's faces, but she was disappointed again and again.

The younger brother is the girl's only relative, and she also promised her father and brother. Be sure to take care of your brother.

The maiden named Clara is one of the thousands of ordinary people in the Federation. His father was a second-generation immigrant from the Federation, and after 30 years of hard work for two generations, he finally earned a small family business in the Southern Cross area, a farm with 100 acres of land. Later, the father married the daughter of the local tax officer, who was the girl's mother. At this time, the Singh family can be regarded as officially establishing a foothold in the society of the Kingdom of Heaven. His father was lucky, as most of the same immigrant families were still struggling on the margins of society because they couldn't find suitable jobs. In order to survive, he eventually became a slave of the noble gatekeeper. For generations, they had to work on the big plantations and factory workshops of the aristocracy, and at the end of the day, they even thought they were born slaves.

My mother died ten years ago when she was giving birth to her younger brother Lyle. It stands to reason that my mother was not very old at that time. And it's the third child, and the possibility of dystocia is not high. But at that time, the new federal agricultural tax law had just been enacted. The impact on medium-sized farms like the Singh family is the hardest. My father had to lay off most of his hired laborers, and my virtuous mother took Clara and her brother to work in the fields with a big belly. The mother born of a petty bureaucrat is not a pampered daughter. But I haven't suffered anything since I was a child, and my body is not as solid as I imagined. Heavy labor sucked away most of her life force. After struggling to leave his younger brother Lyle, he died.

After the death of his mother, his father and his brother and sister struggled to maintain the farm, although they were not wealthy, but the life of the family of four was still very happy.

The elder brother said that he would definitely become a magician in the future, so that the whole family would become a nobleman, and the father smiled and said If you really have such a ability, I will smash the pot and sell iron for you to study. Unfortunately, his brother's dream was quickly shattered, and the local mage made it clear that his brother was not an elemental affinity, and the possibility of becoming a spellcaster was one in a million. After his dream was shattered, his brother pondered that if he wanted to go to university in the future, becoming a professional military officer would also change the fate of the whole family, and he was indeed working hard for his dream. In addition to his farm work, he also got a job in the town as a garrison, and used his small allowance to buy study materials, and spent all his rare rest time studying.

Clara often thinks that with her brother's diligence and perseverance, if she can't realize her dream, then there must be something wrong in this world.

Interestingly, the local branch of the Alliance of Learned Knowledge, however, saw the caster's talent in his younger brother, and seriously recommended several magic academies to him. The opportunity to change the fate of the family is just around the corner, but in all fairness, Clara and her father and brother are not the first thing they think about it, but because their children are very interested in the promising career and future of the spellcaster, so everyone naturally wants to support him with all their might.

However, the tuition fees of the Academy of Magic are very expensive, and the scholarship can only be obtained by the so-called elite of the elite, although the younger brother is talented, but he is not talented to that extent. On the other hand, my father's farm management has also reached a very difficult and critical level, and it has been a loss for several years in a row, and he even plans to sell the farm.

At this time, there was a plan for the Federation to develop Black Man City. The federation that wants to seriously develop the Heishui River Basin, and the aristocrats who want to make money seriously, have introduced a series of policies: for example, hiring people with rich agricultural experience to manage their farms with high salaries; Replace farms in the Commonwealth Sky with five to ten times the size of the land to attract people to the Blackwater Valley; The tax-free policy is eye-catching, plus the business groups of Neosfia also come to join in the fun. proposed a series of low-interest loan shares; And, of course, recruiting refugees from nearby countries. Recruit labor to resume production as quickly as possible.

My father and brother carefully estimated that the family's farm could be exchanged for ten times the land. This is a large farm of thousands of acres. In addition, with low-interest loans, you can buy all the seeds, tools, and hire enough workers, so that you can have a large income by the time of the harvest in the fall. In this way, after three years, the family will not only be able to pay off all the loans, but also save a sum of money. The younger brother's school fees are available.

As a result, the father of the second generation of immigrants took everyone back to the ground again and began the labor of conviction for the second venture.

"I'm sorry, Clara." Before moving, the father scratched his head and said to the girl in an apologetic tone: "I always think about your brother and brother, but I always ignore your feelings." ”

In a family, the children caught in the middle have always been the least succumbing. What's more, she's still a girl. It would be a lie to say that Clara didn't have a little resentment in her heart, but the girl replied, "It's okay, Daddy." Actually, think about it. If my brother can really become a magician, won't our whole family become nobles? I'm also the eldest lady of a noble family, and when I get married in the future. You must have a dowry that matches your status. ”

Maybe the father felt he was joking, maybe the father agreed. He smiled and nodded very cheerfully. My father was a thrifty and even somewhat stingy man. But this was the first time she had seen her father so cheerful.

Now that I think about it, my father should be very confident in his second venture, and he must be confident that he can bring a better future to the three brothers and sisters.

If there is no war......

Now, my brother, who joined the garrison and was recruited by the noble lord to go to the castle, has never been heard from. When the wolf-mounted cavalry of the orcs entered his farm, his father hid himself and his younger brother in the cellar, and he fought them with shovels. The last thing the girl heard was her father's screams, and the next day, when she and her brother crawled out of the cellar, the farm was in ruins, and her father's body or body could not be found. She found some dry food and gold coins from the ruins, and led her brother to the south in the direction of Black Mancheng, and then gathered with a large group of refugees in a daze. After walking like this for three days, I finally saw the walls of the Black Castle, but the refugee team was finally caught up by the enemy scouts.

"Lyle! Lyle! Answer me when you hear it! The girl called out loudly to her only relative, and she squeezed through the panicked crowd as if she were heading upstream against the rushing river. She was tired and panting, and finally came to the back of the refugee line, when she saw the figure crouching on the ground with her head in her hands and shivering, and ran over with her head in her hands.

"Rai...... Lyle? The girl's voice was even a little hesitant. She had already met several such teenagers, and they squeezed into it with full anticipation, but they were all disappointed in the end. At this time, even she was a little suspicious, doubting whether she would be able to find her brother.

"Sister, sister?" The boy raised his head and looked at the strange and cruel environment around him ignorantly, he had already lost his reason and consciousness. However, when he heard this familiar and friendly voice, it was as if he had met his mother's little beast, as if he had met the only one who could give him a sense of security, and he was dazed but eager to find the source of the sound.

"Lyle! Lyle, don't be afraid! Sister is here, sister is here! The girl rushed forward and hugged her brother tightly, as if he would disappear as soon as she let go. The boy also threw his face into his sister's embrace, and let out a loud cry, but his body shook unnaturally, and the fear and panic that he had finally suppressed collapsed like an avalanche, and all the boy's reserve disappeared.

However, this is not the end of the happy season. The girl's eyes widened as she faced the path from the north, and she looked at the wolf cavalry who had rushed to the distance from her. A large man was pierced in the back with a spear by a wolf cavalryman, and the tip of the spear came out of his chest. The big man looked at the girl in front of him with a painful and confused gaze, as if he wanted to say something, but opened his mouth, but spit out a series of blood foam, and then he fell to the end. The eyes gradually lost focus.

He was the only obstacle between the two siblings who were hugging each other and the wolf cavalry scouts.

"Lyle...... Lyle ...... "The girl struggled to get to her feet. But fear took hold of her like invisible claws, and she seemed to have lost all her strength. Unable to escape, unable to resist, or even to stand up at the face of the wolf cavalry's butcher's knife, she clung to her brother and muttered his name.

The wolf cavalry pulled out the spear stuck in the big man's body, and looked at the young brother and sister with great interest, showing a happy expression. He jumped off his wolf, stuck his spear into the dirt beside him, and drew his scimitar. Swaggered over.

For him, this pair of young people seems to be a good toy that is hard to find.

…… If you can't beat it, you can't run it! However, it's okay this way, at least in Heaven, you can still be with the whole family, and you can also see your mother who you haven't seen for a long time. I can't even remember what she looks like, my mother won't blame me, will she?

Clara thought to herself, self-deprecatingly. Then he closed his eyes. She heard the sound of the orc's footsteps stopping in front of her, and her heart hung in the air.

At this time, she seemed to hear a faint "bang" sound from the crowd behind her, and before that. It seemed as if something had passed over her shoulder, so fast that she wondered if she was delusional. After a long while, the pain and death that had been waiting for a long time did not come, and the girl opened her eyes tremblingly. only to find that the orc wolf cavalryman's chest had been broken at some point, and a huge wound was emanating from the place where the girl was close to him. He let out a few screams of pain "ho-ho". Then he collapsed to the ground and convulsed a few times. And he never moved again.

"Phew!" This time, the strange and crisp sound sounded closer to the girl, and Clara was finally sure that it was not an illusion. In her sight, another orc wolf cavalryman fell from his mount clutching his chest.

Then, she heard the sound of "Bilibili", and the purple arc of electricity rubbed in the air, turning into a snow-bright arc of light, and then turned into a continuous whip of electricity, striking in the void, bursting out with a dazzling light like the sun.

"Smack! Bilibili! Rumble! The strong impact of the electric whip caused the wolf cavalry of more than ten people who rushed to the front to tumble off their mounts, half of them were killed on the spot by the powerful electric current that pierced the deadly heart and other organs, and the other half also went into shock. The wolves under their crotches were even more electrified and screamed and roared, making a sound that was more like a pack of rats with their tails lit than proud and fierce wolves.

The wolf cavalry didn't seem to have expected that they would encounter such a strong resistance when chasing and killing this group of antelope-like refugees who seemed to be frightened, so they quickly grabbed the reins one by one, looked at the fleeing crowd with a cloudy and uncertain look, looked at each other, and hesitated.

"Magician? The magician has come to our rescue! Because of her brother, the family also had some exposure to magic, and Clara was probably the first person to react to in the scene, and her heart fell from the cliff again. The girl looked jubilant, looking for the magician who had saved her life and her brother's life in the crowd behind her.

However, in the end, it was not the image of the white-bearded robed archmage that she had imagined. A little girl who looked younger than her brother Lyle burst out of the crowd. This look is a young lady who grew up in a big family, although she is young, she has a beautiful appearance and a quiet and elegant temperament, and at first glance she seems to live in two worlds with Clara. The little girl held a black staff in one hand, a strange silver-white prop in the other, and a small short sword hanging from her waist.

"Run!" The little girl yelled at the Clara siblings. Her long silver-white hair was tied into braids and fluttered behind her head, and violet-colored ribbons flew along the braids like purple butterflies.
