Kelly didn’t hesitate this time and agreed to Uncle Oni’s suggestion. He wanted to get all his equipment back!

Connie Jeff, who came out after he locked the scar-faced man up, was relieved to hear Kelly’s decision. It wasn’t that he didn’t approve of his son being able to go out and undergo higher cultivation. In fact, that was a decision he leaned toward as well.

Soon Uncle Oni had organized all the children in the village to go to Kelly’s house and learn how to sense magic. For a moment, Kelly’s little yard was packed with children from the entire village.

After learning that Kelly knew magic, these children were even more eager to receive Kelly’s guidance. After awakening magic, they would be able to contribute to the village. Perhaps they could even join the knights in the future!

Since he had already promised Uncle Oni, Kelly naturally would not go back on his word. He patiently taught the children how to feel magic. From a large group of children, he discovered that two children had a high perception of magic.

Soylaf and Delvey sensed magic that was golden.

They might really become Knights in the future!

“Kelly, how are we going to use magic?”

Soylaf was very excited when he sensed magic, and he couldn’t wait to release magic like Kelly.

Kelly smiled helplessly. “You can’t use it yet. Your perception is still too low. When you can feel that you can control magic, you can then use it.”

Soylaf and Delvey nodded thoughtfully.

For a month, the two of them came to Kelly almost every day to sense magic.

But soon, a month passed in the blink of an eye. Kelly wrote down the incantation for sensing magic and handed it to Connie Jeff.

“This is… the incantation for magic perception?” Connie Jeff was shocked.

He did not expect that his son had already comprehended the incantation for sensing magic! If ordinary people were to sense it themselves, how long would it take? However, it was different with the incantation. With the incantation, it was equivalent to having a shortcut, and sensing magic was much easier!

“Yes, Dad, you can try.” Kelly nodded.

He had been thinking about how to increase his father’s strength. After he left the village, the safety of the village would return to his father. If his father’s strength did not increase, it would be difficult to resist the next attack of bandits.

This was also the method he had developed over the past few days to increase his father’s strength.

Increasing magic perception and slowly familiarizing himself with it would allow him to release magic!

Connie Jeff’s hand that was holding the note trembled slightly. Then, he carefully placed the note in his arms. “Alright, I’ll keep this secret!”

On the day of departure, everyone in the village came out to see Kelly off.

“Kelly, remember to come home often!” Aunt Jill held Kelly’s hand with tears in her eyes and stuffed a few pancakes for Kelly to eat on the way.

The other villagers also looked at Kelly reluctantly.

“Yes, I’ll be back after the selection!”

Kelly looked at everyone. He believed that with his strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to get first place in this selection!

“Just do your best. Don’t risk your life.”

Connie Jeff patted Kelly on the shoulder. He supported his son to see the outside world, but safety was the most important thing. No matter what difficulties Kelly faced outside, he had a family behind him.

“Yeah.” Kelly nodded.

Yiluanna took Kelly’s hand and smoothed the loose hair back from his forehead, crying with reluctance.

This was the first time Kelly had been separated from her since she was born. She couldn’t bear to part with her.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Kelly hugged Yiluanna to comfort her.

Upon seeing this, Connie Jeff also came forward and pulled the mother and son into his arms.

“Don’t worry. Our Kelly is so awesome. He’ll definitely come back as soon as possible.”

With Connie Jeff’s comfort, Yiluanna calmed down a little and straightened Kelly’s clothes.

“Be careful on the road.”

Yiluanna’s eyes were filled with reluctance, but she knew very well that she could not stop her son from advancing.

“Yeah.”

“Alright, let’s go. Remember to write home when you have time.”

Connie Jeff held Yiluanna and let go of Kelly. After instructing Kelly, he waved him away.

Kelly bowed to his father and the villagers who grew up with him, then turned and walked out of the village where he had lived for more than ten years.

He had been to town with Yiluanna before, but there was a carriage to enter the city at that time, and it was a long detour, which was more time-consuming. Therefore, he planned to go straight through Mount Rita to the town. However, there were many magical beasts living on Mount Rita, and very few people would pass by here.

However, when he thought about it, he could also train himself when he encountered magical beasts. In addition, he could save a lot of time.

After making up his mind, he headed straight for Mount Rita.

After entering the forest, Kelly heard the sound of birds chirping in the forest. After walking for a while, Kelly found a burnt-out bonfire in front of him. It looked like the bonfire had been burning for more than a day.

Kelly walked over and squatted down. He pinched the ashes of the bonfire and sniffed it. It was a familiar smell.

He remembered this smell. It was the smell of goblins!

This was the same smell as the goblins who had attacked the village a few years ago.

Goblins who could use bonfires already had elementary intelligence and were more powerful than ordinary goblins. Kelly looked around and found traces of goblins leaving.

He followed the trail and felt the strong scent of goblins deep in the woods. It seemed that this was the habitat of a group of goblins.

Kelly got up and slowly walked forward. If the smell here was strong, it meant that the goblins were around. He had to be careful.

Among the goblins with elementary intelligence, there must be goblins with complete intelligence. Otherwise, they would not be willing to listen to others’ commands.

Soon, he found a stronger smell of goblins in front of a cave, which meant that there must be other goblins in the cave.

Kelly hid behind a rock outside the cave and observed the terrain of the cave entrance. Then, he used the geographical location here to lay a trap.

Then, he used magic to knock down a big tree in front of him. The sound of branches breaking and falling to the ground alarmed the goblins in the cave. Immediately, seven or eight goblins rushed out.

However, as soon as they came out, they stepped on the trap that Kelly had set up. In an instant, rocks flew out from all directions and hit the goblins.

The goblins could not dodge in time. Kelly secretly used lightning magic to electrocute them, and seven or eight Goblins instantly fell to the ground.

After Kelly checked that the goblins outside had been killed, he carefully entered the cave.

The atmosphere in the cave was even more intense. Kelly slowly inched his way inside. Suddenly, a roar came from inside.

Kelly quickly pressed himself against the wall. At that moment, he saw a few larger goblins walk out of the cave.

These few were actually intelligent!
