Chapter 4 In the Name of Aries
At dawn, the sun has not yet risen, and a touch of fish-belly white appears in the sky.

In the morning light, the ancient city of Jinling floats quietly in the sky, huge and majestic.

"Boom--"

In the sky, dozens of huge cargo ships flew up from the ancient city of Jinling, their tattered sails flapping in the wind, making dull noises. The [-]-meter-long hulls were filled with household garbage, casting long shadows on the ground.

"Crash-"

Driven by the engine, one after another cargo ship slowly passed by, pouring down countless garbage, metal fragments, glass instruments, tattered silk and furniture, poured into the garbage mountain like a torrent, and sprinkled them one after another.

In the poor slums, people in thousands of villages also woke up from their dreams and started a new day.

A stream of cooking smoke curls up among the low houses...

Since the long dark night, human beings have gradually developed in the dilapidated ruins. At the same time, the gap between the rich and the poor and the class division in society have become more and more serious.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, there were many sky cities like Jinling Ancient City.

The people who lived there were either nobles, old families, wealthy businessmen, or elites in various fields. The upper class had a high status, enjoyed the best social welfare, and lived a rich and healthy life.

The common people on the ground live in poverty and rely on heavy labor to survive.

……

Since Lin Fan awakened to the Destiny Constellation, time has passed and several days have passed.

Village No. [-].

In the quiet morning, there are only a few simple dishes on the dining table, and the family enjoys themselves happily. Although life is a bit poor, it is also dull and fulfilling.

In the room, there was an old black and white TV set on the cabinet. It was picked up by Lin Fan from the garbage mountain by accident when he was a child. So I didn't sell it and kept it at home.

The black-and-white TV made a buzzing noise, and the picture was a little fuzzy, and it broadcast the news in the area of ​​Jinling Ancient City.

"Good evening, audience friends. According to an interview with a reporter from the Jinling Evening News, the Tai'a Grand Ceremony held by the Great Xia Dynasty has come to an end. However, due to the inability of the network signal to cross regions, it is still impossible to know the outside news..."

"According to statistics, a total of 2 people participated in the grand ceremony in our ancient city of Jinling..."

"In the end, a total of 800 people awakened the Constellation of Destiny and obtained the Tai Ah Xuan Order..."

In this era, there is also a network, which is a product of the technological civilization of the old age. However, due to many reasons such as base stations and heaven and earth, the network signal can only cover a limited area.

It is also because of this that the entire world is divided into pieces of network areas, which are independent and blocked from each other.

Within the same regional network, people can freely communicate through mobile phones and computers.

However, for remote places outside, the original means of letters are still used to communicate, and the communication of information is not convenient.

"Many generations of geniuses have emerged in this grand ceremony. Among them, Shangguan Hong from the Shangguan family has awakened the rare yellow-order destiny constellation. In the ancient city of Ling, there was a young man who was born in a poor area, but accidentally awakened the rare constellation of the spirit system, and became the idol of countless ordinary students..."

"It is reported that the above students have been directly admitted by major schools."

Lin Fan watched the news on TV, and couldn't help feeling envious.

At this moment, the camera turned, and the scene returned to the studio. A well-dressed host looked calm.

"The news will be broadcast below, the content is as follows..."

"The East India Company issued a statement. On September 9th, they will officially launch the fourth generation of the holy clothes of the Shenhui series. This generation of holy clothes is engraved with star runes, which can greatly improve the speed and protection of knights. However, Expensive, the market price..."

"Tomorrow at [-] o'clock in the evening, our station will exclusively broadcast the documentary "The Stars of the Heavens". This is jointly recorded by the well-known university Qingyun School and the Jinling government.

……

Immediately afterwards, an urgent message was broadcast in the news studio——

"According to eyewitnesses, some time ago, a vision occurred in the Blood Moon Spiritual Realm. It is suspected that a drought demon escaped from the spiritual realm and came to the mortal world. The rivers within tens of miles are gradually drying up. There has been a severe drought and no rain for a month. ..."

"Currently, the Imperial Guard Knights of Jinling Ancient City and relevant government departments have launched an investigation. Please take precautions and be vigilant..."

……

In this slum area, life is difficult, and there are no entertainment venues such as cinemas, bars, and KTVs.

Therefore, watching TV news has become a program for most people to pass the time.

Drought...

Lin Fan watched the news on TV, and his face gradually became serious.

Legend has it that this kind of evil spirit has the ominous ability to bring disasters and droughts to the world, which is highly destructive and dangerous.

In the civilized world of mankind, evil spirits are strange and unknown existences.

Those monsters and beasts, no matter how vicious they are, can be eliminated by relying on modern thermal weapons and technological means.

Only evil spirits, unknown and ominous, cannot be dealt with by technological means. Only the knights chosen by the stars have the ability to resist them.

Therefore, people once speculated that the reason why the stars would call knights seems to be to deal with strange evil spirits.

In the dark, this is like a hostile fate...

"Hey... another demon appeared from the spiritual realm. Recently, it has become more and more uneven..."

Lin Fan was a little worried, but he soon became optimistic. After all, with the ancient town of Jinling guarding above his head, those evil spirits should not affect the slums.

During the meal, Father Lin was in a very happy mood. He took out a bottle of white wine he treasured, took a few sips, and said, "Xiaofan, I have asked my colleagues to take care of it. There is a Lingling Workshop in Yunling City. Apprentices are being recruited, you should prepare now, and you will be able to take the train to set off in a few days."

"Well, Dad, you can make arrangements." Lin Fan nodded, and he plucked at the brown rice in the bowl, almost biting his tongue off.

Lin Fan of Yunling City knew that it was far, far away from Jinling Ancient City...

It is an ancient and prosperous city.

"In this case, you can pack your luggage after dinner..." Father Lin smiled slightly, and then said: "I took a day off from the factory, and I will go to Fengyang County to buy bus tickets for you in a while. "

"it is good……"

Lin's mother was listening to the father and two chatting, with a warm smile on her beautiful face, and she interjected from time to time: "My dear son, when you get there, you must learn from the master and don't let your father down. ah."

"Your cousin Lin Xin is studying in Qingyun School. I have contacted her by letter. Let her take good care of you when the time comes."

"hiss……"

Lin Fan gasped: "No need, my cousin must have a lot of studies, how can she have time to take care of me?"

Are you kidding me? At this moment, Lin Fan recalled the fear of being dominated again, and couldn't help shivering.

In a trance, a face as beautiful as a fairy appeared in his mind.

Forget the past.

In his childhood memories, there are always two black clouds hanging over his head, one of which is naturally his mother Zhang Wanqing, and the other is the uncle's cousin——

Lin Xin...

The Frost Girl who is full of violent tendencies has a cold and arrogant personality and acts domineering.

He's so meow, he suppressed himself under Wuzhi Mountain since he was a child, and if he resisted a little, he would be beaten up.

Ha ha,

Now, after several years of growth, this woman can't fly to the sky...

Recalling the tragic scenes in the past, Lin Fan was completely intimidated, and quickly said: "I am not young anymore, I can take care of myself..."

"Even if you really grow up, but after all you are alone and unfamiliar with the place, wouldn't it be better to have your cousin to help take care of you?" Mother Lin glanced at him, her attitude was very firm.

Lin Fan decided to increase the size. After thinking about it, he decided to tell them about his awakening of the constellation of destiny.

"That... Actually, I don't need to go to Yunling City to be an apprentice, I have awakened the constellation now..."

The reason why he didn't say it before is because he hasn't figured out how to explain it. After all, he awakened the constellation after picking up an ancient jade in the garbage mountain. This kind of thing is really absurd.

But now, for the sake of a happy life in the future, Lin Fan still insisted on speaking out.

"Hehe... is that so, what constellation did you awaken? Let me see..."

Mother Lin chuckled, as if she was looking at the little fool, her eyes were full of love, and she sighed with great regret in her heart. Wasn't this child very clever when he was young, why did he become more stupid as he got older...

"Look, this is the power of Shengyuan."

Facing his mother's eyes, Lin Fan became angry from embarrassment. He held his breath and concentrated on it. The faint trace of holy energy in his body circulated, and a cloud of hazy white light emanated from his hand.

This ray of holy energy appeared in his body when he just awakened the constellation of destiny. After these few days of pondering, he has mastered the method of operation.

It's a pity that since he only has 100 points of holy energy, he needs to spend at least 30 points to cast the star seal, and he can only use it up to three times in a short period of time.

Lin's father and Lin's mother were astonished, watching this scene in disbelief.

"Have you really awakened the constellation of Destiny? When did you awaken?" Father Lin asked hastily.

Seeing his parents' anxious and suspicious expressions, Lin Fan thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know, I just fell asleep in a daze two days ago, and when I woke up, I found that I have a constellation..."

Mother Lin asked, "Then what constellation are you?"

"Well... the grade is very low, just a small dog of the mortal rank..."

The twelve signs of the zodiac, Aries, Lin Fan decided to hide this kind of thing. If the news leaks out, he will probably be caught by the government and treated as a guinea pig. Let's slice it and study it...

As far as he knows, Canis Minor is also a medical type of constellation, which can just be used to cover up the truth.

Moreover, only you can see the star map of the destiny constellation, even if it reveals clues, it will be difficult for others to discover the secret of Aries.

At this moment, Lin Jianfeng and Zhang Wanqing felt relieved. Their family environment was very poor. Lin's father was an accountant and worked in a small factory ten miles away. The monthly salary was only about [-] yuan. Work, and on weekdays, I also take on some odd jobs to subsidize the family.

Since he was a child, Lin Fan grew up in this poor family, and he would often go to the garbage mountain to find treasures to share the hard work of his parents.

Now that Lin Fan has awakened the Destiny Constellation, although he is a medical department that fights against the five scum, he is still a real knight. This also means that they can finally leave the slums and live a rich and beautiful life.

That day, although still a little far away...

"By the way, mom, didn't you get hurt while chopping vegetables yesterday? I'll use the star seal to heal you..." Lin Fan decided to show off his ability to completely dispel his parents' doubts.

While speaking, he activated the star seal skill, and said silently in his heart: "Star seal, heal!" The next moment, a mysterious star array pattern appeared in his hand, and a dazzling white star light entered Lin Mu's body in an instant.

At the same time, Mother Lin narrowed her eyes comfortably, feeling warm and comfortable all over her body.

She was surprised to find that the wounds she left when cutting vegetables were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the pain and stubborn diseases left in her body were gradually disappearing, and she was full of energy, as if several years younger.

After casting the star seal, Lin Fan immediately opened the star map interface, feeling a little regretful in his heart...

Sure enough, merit did not increase at all...

It seems that it is not easy to earn merit points, at least for now he cannot find injured knights or profound beasts, besides, even if he encounters them, he may not be injured...

You can't just run over like that:
This handsome guy, is he sick or injured? Would you like a healing technique? It doesn't cost money.

What, are you healthy?It's okay, don't 998!Don't want 98 either!As long as you give yourself a knife, you can enjoy the care from the nanny for free.

Not to mention whether it will be successful or not, it is estimated that if you really want to do this, there is a high probability that you will be beaten to death...

"Believe it now, your son, I am now a proper trainee knight! Now I don't have to go to Yunling City to be an apprentice anymore..."

Lin Fan secretly sighed, seeing the shock and excitement on the faces of his parents, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he suddenly felt a sense of elation and elation, and couldn't help but press his face to feel complacent.

However, his calculation was very good, but he never thought that the reality would be so cold and skinny. Zhang Wanqing's attitude became more determined:
"No, then you have to go to Yunling City. You have awakened the constellation, but you still can't enter the school to practice. There are so many knights living in Yunling City, and you can also learn how to practice under your influence."

"No...I..." Lin Fan was dumbfounded.

"What are you! How dare you disobey my old lady's words?" Mother Lin raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily.

"Go back to my house and pack my luggage now! Lin Jianfeng! You go to Fengyang County to buy a bus ticket!"

Lin Fan: "..."

Strange, why is my mother so angry...

However, in the face of his mother's order, Lin Fan dared not disobey the slightest, at least he did not have the courage to resist on the surface. Since childhood, he and his father have been suppressed by his mother under Wuzhi Mountain.

Father Lin shot him a helpless look, picked up the coat on the hanger, and left the house in a hurry.

Lin Fan nodded dejectedly, returned to the bedroom full of thoughts, sat down on the bed, and called out the constellation interface.

"Help you heal and treat me fiercely..."

Looking at the bright Aries star map in front of him, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, he was a little puzzled, his mother seemed to be much more irritable just now.

Could it be because of the mysterious effect attached to the star seal skill...

However, is temper tantrum an additional status?
Or is it that the unknown effect of his star seal ability magnified his mother's temper?This is a bit messed up... Besides, why didn't this happen when I used it on myself, it's just that the body is lighter and the senses are more sensitive...

Could this additional effect vary from person to person?
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt that his destiny constellation was a bit unreliable...

He thought suspiciously while packing his luggage in the room.

After tidying up, he patted his bulging backpack, then walked to the cabinet by the wall, and took out the contents one by one.

Inside, there is a piece of porcelain in good condition, a finely crafted ancient jade box, ten gorgeous feathers dropped by some unknown mysterious beast, some exquisite silk products, and other scattered metal objects...

Lin Fan used to often pick up treasures in the garbage mountain, and after more than a year, he also accumulated a lot of inventory.

"These are all good things, and they should be able to sell for a lot of yuan coins..."

He carefully put these things away, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Fengyang County in the afternoon to sell them and save them for travel expenses.

It is also good to be able to share some of the financial burden of my parents because my family is poor.

Then, he sat on the head of the bed, looking at the scenery outside, with a bitter look on his face.

Thinking of that cousin, Lin Fan suddenly felt that his knighthood was full of suffering and darkness...
