Maria looked back, she had a melon-shaped face, fair skin, but her eyes were a little small, obviously myopic vision caused by reading and studying, the small eyes destroyed her overall appearance, giving people a restrained temperament.
"I've got something to do when I'm back. Dad, why did you go out? I came back on a special trip and I have something important to tell you!" She said seriously, and put down the shower in her hand. Kevin noticed that the Huasan in his daughter's hand had already run out of water, but she didn't notice it at all. Obviously, the return this time was very important.
"What's the matter, you said?" He whispered to hide a few syllables, and released a tranquil barrier around him to prevent his voice from leaking out.
The translucent film slowly spread out, wrapping the two people apart. Immediately, the sound of the outside world was completely cut off. And the voice inside cannot be transmitted.
Maria looked at Kevin seriously.
"Father, this time the Dragon Alliance launched by the empire must never pick up the badge! Don't!"
Dragon oath? badge? Kevin was taken aback. First Serena warned, and now it was his daughter who came back from all over the world to remind him.
Kevin, no matter how stupid he is, knows that something is wrong.
He was holding the badge behind his back and was planning to take it out to surprise his daughter, but when he heard this, he couldn't take it out for a while.
"Why?" He tried to calm down and asked in a low voice.
"Because of the badges issued this time, all those who get the badges must be obliged to participate in the war, and those who want to go to the battlefield!" Maria replied seriously. "These badges can 100% summon dragons, but they also have the obligation to go to the battlefield."
"Go to the battlefield? Fight against the Black Stripe Empire?" Kevin felt his throat was a little dry. Although it was expected before, if you want to get something in this world, you must be prepared to give something. But I didn't expect that this badge would cost such a high price.
"Yes, the moment you accept the badge and sign your name, you have automatically signed a contract, and you must participate in the war with the Black Stripe Empire. Our Dirada Empire is on the border between the North and the South. If you want to get the fertile southern land, you must solve the Heiwen Empire in the middle. This is a war to destroy the country, not a joke!" Daughter Maria said solemnly.
"This is the news from my mother. She came here to remind me not to accept the badge. Only mages who have no hope will accept the badge and choose to put all their eggs in one basket."
Seeing Maria's serious and concerned expression, Kevin only felt sour and complicated in his heart. He didn't know how to tell his daughter that it was too late after all.
He understands his own background, he is just a mage who started his career with magic potions, if the Summoning Dragon Clan can rely on the savings accumulated from selling potions to support him a few times, then if he really wants to go to the battlefield, it will really be close to death.
He never fought anyone. Is a purely academic mage.
The badge is already in hand. This means the contract has been signed.
Kevin tightened his badge, feeling a little helpless and gloomy.
Compared to her mother's resources, he was just an ordinary fourth-level little mage, and he didn't have any other strong connections in the family, so he couldn't provide enough help for his daughter.
On the other hand, her mother often took her to get together with the children of the great nobles, to have academic consultation with other great mages, and to go abroad to conduct academic exchanges with mage organizations in other countries.
So much so that now her daughter is already a fourth-level mage at a young age, has entered the Moonscar Watcher, and has become a genius elite, a key training object.
Seeing her father's expression, Maria also seemed to sense something was wrong. Immediately he looked tense.
"Could it be possible, father, you...!"
Kevin took a deep breath, looked into his daughter's worried eyes, and finally nodded.
"I've already taken the badge."
This sentence instantly made Maria feel depressed and lost. But more is sad. Fortunately, as a mage, she also considered the worst situation before coming here.
"It's okay, isn't there me? Dad, don't worry. I've already arranged everything."
"Arrangement? What arrangement?" Kevin was taken aback. It seems that she didn't expect her daughter to be so calm.
You must know that the wars of the Black-striped Empire have always been known for their extremely high battle damage ratio. Even if he is a mage on the battlefield, the chance of returning is estimated to be only 1/4.
Maria took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Don't worry, I've already been promoted to level 4 Battle Mage!" She reached out and grabbed Kevin's hand, "This time, I'll protect you!!"
Seeing Kevin hesitate to speak, a small round black stone soon appeared in her hand.
"Look, this is a certificate of withdrawal from school. I have already dropped out of school. You don't have to worry about my academic problems. I will take care of everything." Pop! !
There was a loud and crisp sound.
Kevin raised his hand high, and looked at his daughter with sad, regretful, and disappointing eyes.
"I said I need your help?! Who made you drop out of school! Who made you drop out of school!! Ah!!??"
Kevin couldn't help it, tears burst out of his eyes. He didn't expect that instead of being able to help his daughter, he became a drag on her.
Where is the black-striped battlefield? The odds of dying in battle are as high as four to one! My daughter went to the battlefield with him, in case someone accidentally gets disabled
"It's okay." Maria's right face suddenly swelled up, but she still smiled, "I've dropped out of school, and your badge doesn't necessarily have to be a dragon that summons a business trip. We don't have to worry too much, maybe we can summon combat power Where is the strongest black dragon?"
Kevin looked at his daughter, and the pain in his heart was like a tide, wave after wave, constantly pouring into his heart.
Finally, the father and daughter couldn't bear it any longer, and cried together.
It's not like two master mages at all.

night
All the mages in the town, and all the mages who received the badges, gathered in the center of the town, where a large shed was built, and many surrounding residents were relocated and left the town.
Accepting the badge is equivalent to signing a contract. The empire will be responsible for their various aftermath work, and on the battlefield, if they can survive and establish certain military merits, they will be free, and the dragon clan they signed will naturally become the mage's own exclusive sworn partner.
This is the so-called greater the risk, the greater the benefit.
Being able to become a sworn partner with a dragon, even a low-level mage can pose a threat to a high-level mage. After all, even the weakest white dragons and green dragons are naturally at the sixth level when they are adults.
So under such conditions, there are naturally many mages who are willing to put all their eggs in one basket.
Kevin and his daughter, who came with him alive and dead, participated in this night summoning meeting.
He brought a large amount of summoning substances prepared by his family as required. A large number of gems, seven-color gems, and a small bottle of sulfur, which are said to increase the chances of summoning black and red dragons.
Among the dragons that can be selected this time, the black dragon is the most powerful, followed by the red dragon. They all like volcanoes.
With hope, they stood in the middle of the crowd in their robes, all dozens of mages gathered in a circle, listening to the nonsense of the Imperial Archmage in the middle. Most of his thoughts were on what kind of dragons he could summon in a while.
"The empire paid a lot of money to sign the dragon oath with many dragon clans. I hope you all cherish this opportunity. Grasp the benefits in the risk. Think about it, once you can come back from the battlefield, you can have a head of your own. If you are a partner of the dragon clan, then the status in the empire is no problem compared to a great mage."
The court archmage spoke loudly in provocative language.
"Tonight is the time for you to summon your sworn partners. Once summoned, you cannot repent. Successful mages will receive a call-up order to go to the border to carry out sweeping missions and fight against the warlock mages of the Black-striped Empire. Of course, the process is not It is as dangerous as you imagined, and there will be special teams such as the Imperial Hunting Team and Assassin Team to assist you. So as long as you are careful enough, completing the mission is a very easy task."
Listening to the archmage's nonsense, Maria tightly held Kevin's hand. She clearly sensed that her father was nervous.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'm here, it's okay."
"It's okay, I'm fine. It's fine." Kevin nodded, feeling a little sad from the bottom of his heart. As a father and an elder, he actually wanted his daughter to comfort him in turn.
"I participated in the assassination mission hunting when I was in school, don't worry, I'm fine." Maria was very calm. It's not like it's faked.
Kevin felt his palms were sweating, but he could only give his daughter a gentle smile, although the smile felt stiff even to himself.
Success or failure is probably determined tonight. If he can summon the black dragon and red dragon, his safety factor will undoubtedly be much better.
***********************
Recently, Garen evenly allocated most of the attributes to attribute points, leaving only one point for Longwei as a preparation point.
In more than a year, he has accumulated 62 potential points. The potential points here are added to the attributes. Unlike other worlds, it takes a lot of points to improve a little attribute. There is no limit here. A little potential point is a little attribute point.
However, Garen suspected that it might be because he hadn't reached the level of qualitative change in physical improvement.
When the body reaches a qualitative change, it needs to accumulate more potential points to improve a little attribute. This is a process of forcibly improving the qualitative change. In fact, at this time, the energy needed for body improvement is already enormous. It's not like ordinary potential points can be raised casually.
But Garen has not encountered this situation yet. He suspects that the potential points here contain enough energy, or that his own white dragon body has not yet reached the level of qualitative change.
In short, out of the 62 potential points, he evenly distributed 60 points to the three attributes, 20 points each for strength, agility, and constitution.
The remaining two points are on Long Wei.
Muscle is everything.
Garen has always believed in this.
Strength is everything. He is best at this route. Most of the fighting methods are based on the style of strength first, so first improve the strength and muscles, so as to form effective combat power as quickly as possible and ensure survival. Only then will there be time to study spells system.
Longwei needed two potential points, and he clicked on it, which happened to raise Longwei to level three.
