Pure Northwesterners was an interesting term, referring to those who were born in the Republic of Northwest. It had only been 30 years since the Republic of Northwest was founded, and there were not many pure Northwesterners.
Sid was one of them.
He was 20 years old this year and had just graduated from magic school. As an outstanding Druid, he was good at both magic and combat. But his most outstanding ability was his innate ability to sense all kinds of mineral veins. The teachers in the magic academy thought that this might be because there was a part of his bloodline that came from the earth elemental creatures in the inner layer, and it had been activated.
Although elemental creatures did not have gender, many creatures with elemental bloodlines were born through the experiments of the mages. Especially during the Wizard Era, the spellcasters were keen on transplanting powerful bloodlines into themselves, or using elemental power to change their bloodlines and obtain corresponding power. Many people with elemental bloodlines were born at that time, and Sid's ancestors must have been like that, passing down the earth elemental bloodline.
Sid's situation was not uncommon, and they were collectively known as the Demonic Descendants. This name sounded grand, but in fact, it was not the case at all — not to mention anything else, just looking at the strength of inheritance alone, the result of the Demonic Descendants overlapping with the elven bloodline was that the elven bloodline would overshadow the elven bloodline, leaving very little effect.
"Isn't that a pity?" Hoppes said. "The Demonic Descendants sounds much more impressive than the half-elves!"
"But the Demonic Descendants are actually quite bad." Sid shook his head. "The so-called Demonic Descendants refer to those who have the bloodline of the inner plane or outer plane. Like me, if I didn't have the elven bloodline, I would probably be a Demonic Descendant of the earth elemental, also known as the Earth Elemental Gnus. It sounds impressive, but the bloodlines of the inner plane and outer plane actually do not mix well with the bloodline of humans. Often, one's personality will be incompatible with society, and they will often receive calls from the ancestral plane … The elemental descendants Gnus are not that obvious, but the celestial descendants Asmo and the demon descendants Teflin are in a bad situation. Most of them will fall into a frenzy because of this call, and they will spend all day searching for a way to return to the ancestral plane. "
"So, can they succeed?" Hoppes asked.
Sid shook his head. "It's not that easy! Only a few of them succeeded, but most of them wasted their entire lives. Many people only repent when they are old and live out their remaining years in regret. There were also many who did not repent even when they died … In comparison, the half-elves were much safer. Even if you want to return to your hometown, it's not difficult to go to the Ancient Forest. "
It was obvious that he didn't like his Demonic God bloodline, but he wasn't particularly averse to it either. At least from the fact that he was willing to be a prospector, it seemed that he was quite good at using his Earth Elemental bloodline.
"Actually, I didn't want to come because I wanted to be an agriculturist." "But Uncle Clito convinced me. He said that I was still young and half-elves had a long lifespan. Even if I wanted to be an agriculturist, I could wait until I was thirty, get married, have children, and settle down. At this age, why don't you go out and take a risk and explore the world? Who knows, you might be able to improve your strength quickly. "
Hopps nodded, thought for a moment, and then turned to Ruby.
Ruby was pouring a cup of tea at the moment. While drinking the tea, she took out her literacy textbook to study and didn't notice his gaze.
Young people needed to explore the world, while middle-aged people wanted to settle down. But for Sid, his "exploring" was only equivalent to Ruby's "settling down."
Thinking of this, Hopps couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, their last roommate also arrived.
It was a dwarf, short and strong, wearing thick armor. He didn't look like a prospector, but more like an adventurer.
His name was Dudu Hill, a young dwarf. One could tell from the short beard on his chin.
For dwarves, they were only considered adults when their beard was longer than their palms. Dudu's beard was only a thin layer, so of course, he was still young.
But his skills weren't bad. He could speak several languages fluently, and he also knew a lot about ores and geology. In terms of professional level, he was comparable to Hopps, who was a top student in the mining and mineral processing major.
Not only that, but his martial arts were also very good. Not long after he arrived, he ran to the courtyard with Ruby to learn from each other. Both of them were equally matched.
Ruby was a veteran adventurer who had been around for more than ten years. To be able to be on par with him showed how strong Dudu was.
However, the most powerful person in their dormitory was actually Sid. Although he didn't participate in the sparring, when Dudu kept pestering him to have a fight, he took out a certificate.
It was a certificate issued for reaching the top 16 of the junior division in the fourth World Martial Arts Tournament.
The value of this certificate was extremely high, and it stunned Dudu in an instant. It also gave Hoppes and Ruby a shock.
They all knew that Sid was very powerful, but they didn't expect him to be this powerful.
The World Martial Arts Tournament was the most important tournament on the Main Plane. The junior division was a competition that consisted of underage youths. There were many talented youths in the world who had outstanding strength even before they reached adulthood. They were even much stronger than veteran adventurers — for example, the famous "King of the Seaside," Leon Igor, who had won the Eagle Kingdom's Knight Tournament before he reached adulthood. He was even close to the Legendary Realm.
To be able to reach the top 16 of the junior division, even if luck played a large part in it, was enough to prove Sid's strength.
Dudu looked at the certificate reluctantly. After a long silence, he said, "I was still young during the last World Martial Arts Tournament. Next time … I will definitely go and achieve results!"
"Then work hard," Sid said calmly. "But the junior division doesn't actually have much prize money. I think you might as well focus on being a miner. Maybe your income will be higher there!"
"I don't lack money!"
Sid frowned and looked at him carefully, deep in thought.
Dudu, who knew he had said something wrong, covered his mouth and put on a "I won't say anything" posture.
After a while, Sid nodded and said, "In short, being a miner is very good. It suits you very well. It suits you much better than participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament. "
Dudu didn't refute this time. He went to his bed to tidy up his things.
The bedding for dwarves needed to be specially made. Of course, he had brought it, but it needed to be tidied up.
After a while, Dudu and Ruby went out together to buy some underwear and other daily necessities. Hopps curiously went up to Sid and asked about Dudu's background.
"There's nothing to keep secret about it," Sid said. "For example, your surname is Wilder. That's the surname of the Orc Empire's military advisor. His surname is Hill, so he should be a royal among the dwarves. "
