Dividing the Heaven from the Earth in the chaotic universe.
In the remote ancient times,
there were once 12 meteorites from a foreign satellite
hitting this land.
Around the meteorites,
puffs of strong fog were distributed.
The fog remained there for a long time,
being in a gold color.
In the place where fog clustered, a gold lake was formed.
Animals absorbed the essence of the fog
and experienced all sorts of strange metamorphoses.
The natural world experienced earth-shattering changes.
People of later generations called the fog
Gold Fog
and the animals with supernatural powers the Beasts.
Look. There are so many Beasts.
What’s going on?
Silver Priest.
Something strange happened again.
The Statue on the square
is being attacked by a group of Beasts.
The Beasts are in great number,
and the guards ask for reinforcements.
There is such a phenomenon in the Imperial Capital too?
Rumor has it among the folk that
these abnormal phenomena have taken place
because the Monster is coming back to life.
Is that actually true?
Silver Priest.
What shall we do?
Don’t panic.
Someone is going to protect the Statue.
Just come out.
Why do you do this?
We manipulate the Beasts to attack the Statue
so as to bring the Monster back to life.
You're all followers of the Monster Origin?
Yes.
Once the Statue is destroyed,
the Monster will appear again!
Lord VII.
Silver Priest asked you to go to the Heart.
The killed Magician mentioned the rebirth of the Monster.
Don't ask about this matter anymore.
The escaped Frost Raccoon is running to the northwest of Xuancang.
I want you to head to the Blessings Town immediately.
Why did the Magicians suddenly appear?
There have never been Magicians in the Blessings Town before.
I'm a Magician.
Everybody, come to have a look.
Kynil is going to perform the Magic.
This is the syrup of the Blessings Town.
Excuse me?
Yes?
Could you please lend me your water?
OK.
Thanks.
It's real water.
Silver Priest, please give me your power.
His water has turned into ice.
He's really a Magician.
Now comes the last step.
It's Kynil Ice, created by me.
Boss.
I've checked it out.
The boy across the street is just a young bartender.
His Magic is fake.
The true Magicians
won't arrive until tonight.
There have never been Magicians in the Blessings Town before,
so you must stay low profile
and don't show any of the Power.
Yes, Your Lord.
This is the only tavern in the town.
If any Magicians come here,
they'll surely stay here.
My uncle
once saved the descendants of Xuancang.
After that, Xuancang's descendants wanted to repay my uncle's kindness.
Therefore,
they added the Magic of the Fantasy Bird
into my wine-making recipe.
With the Power, this kind of wine
tastes particularly sweet.
Does anyone of you want to try it?
Me!
You.
It's really sweet.
How much is it?
How much? How much is it?
How much is it?
Don't mention that.
We're all blessed by the Silver Priest,
so I won't charge you for it.
You can drink it for free.
However,
this kind of fruit
is essential for making the wine.
What fruit is it?
He's the only one who sells this kind of fruit
in the whole Blessings Town.
Here are my fruits! Here are they!
Everybody, come and buy some!
But he sells his fruits at a high price,
and I can't help you with that.
I'd like one. I'd like one, too.
2 Shells for one.
I'd like one.
Don't push one another. All of you can have it.
Here's a tip.
You need to drink the wine for 20 days consecutively
so that it provides you with the Power.
The peacefulness will soon come to an end.
Kynil.
Do you know how much we've earned today?
We must have earned twice what we had earned before.
Exactly.
However, why did you provide wine for free?
I provided wine for free one day
so that they all come to buy my wine
in the coming 19 days.
If they
continue drinking the wine
till the 20th day but still don't possess any Power,
how shall we continue to do our business?
In that case,
I will tell them that
it's because they have offended the Fantasy Bird
or that
they are not gifted.
Anyway, it's simple.
It's pitiful that
we provided so many people with
the wine for free today.
It's not pitiful at all.
How could you possibly earn a lot without investing a little bit?
Alright.
Go to sell the fruits
that you haven't sold out.
Don't waste them. OK.
Go.
Silver Priest.
Please bless me
so that I can fulfill my dream.
I thought we would go to an interesting place,
but we’ve actually come to such a crappy town.
It’s not fun.
What’s so good about the Frost Raccoon?
It's just about catching a Beast.
Alright.
We’ll arrive at the Blessings Town
after crossing this hill.
Let’s go!
Who are you?
I’ve never seen you at the Blessings Town before.
It doesn’t matter who I am.
What do you want to do?
I need you to do me a favor.
I’m a kind-hearted person,
but I've got something to do at the moment.
Are they real Magicians?
Judging from their dressings,
they may come from the Imperial Capital.
Anyway, they don’t look like locals.
But they’re more dignified than Kynil.
What did you just say?
These people
are fake Magicians.
There are really many of them.
Enjoy your meal.
Enjoy it.
Where did you go?
We have so many guests, you should have come back to help me earlier.
Hurry up and start to work.
I’m back to help you now.
Why are there so many guests today?
Are they partners?
It’s obvious that
they are not partners.
Sir, welcome here!
Welcome to our tavern!
This way, please!
Please.
Please be seated.
Sir.
Alright.
Let me fill your cup with water.
I’ll sit here.
Please.
This table is occupied.
Don’t you see that?
Yes, I see that.
So?
Sir!
You must have a hard time all the way.
Please enjoy our hot tea.
It’s made of genuine maple tree and Chinese scholar tree leaves.
I’m so sorry. Sorry.
It’s so magical.
Fill the cup.
It’s hot.
Just do it.
You might as well save your Power for catching the Frost Raccoon.
Or,
you might save some Power
so as to run for your life.
Do you agree?
There’s only one Frost Raccoon,
and we’ll fight for it sooner or later.
A fight is inevitable,
and it’ll be joyful
if we can kill one today.
Exactly.
Our guest is so much fun.
Right?
He’s so fun.
He was just joking.
No one would die here.
Yes, that’s right.
Go.
Kick the crowd at the door out.
They’ll disturb our business.
Besides, it’s dangerous for them to stay here.
Your major worry is that they disturb our business, isn’t it?
There are so many Magicians here,
which is a good time for making money.
Wait for me.
Dear fellow townsmen,
it’s true
and as you can see,
I’m a Magician and have invited all my friends
to our tavern.
They’re all Magicians.
That’s awesome! Is that true?
Do you want to have a look?
Yes. Of course we do!
The ticket is cheap...
What?
I haven’t said the price yet.
They’re so mean.
I won’t let you see them.
Don’t just stand there.
The table is dirty.
Come and wipe it.
But it’s also dirty here.
Let me do with the mess here first.
Relax.
I don’t mean to do any harm.
Recently,
many Magicians will come to the Blessings Town,
and they will check into your tavern.
I’m the Magician you’re looking for.
Don’t lie to me.
I’m aware of your tricks.
What do you know?
Since I was young,
I’ve never seen any other Magicians
in the Blessings Town.
How could you possibly find a Magician?
Save your worries for this.
As long as Magicians appear,
you just need to take down their names.
I’ll offer a handsome reward.
It’s so easy?
It is so easy.
This is way too easy.
I can keep all their names
in my bright mind for you.
The down payment.
That’s a handsome reward.
I’ll do it regardless.
Why are you frightened?
You were so talkative when filling the cup just now.
I do have something to say.
Ladies and gentlemen here,
I’d like to
ask you a question.
You've come here from afar, would you like to stay here one night?
If you do, you’ll need to check in.
Those who check in first get good rooms first.
Does anyone want to tell me his name first?
Lady,
may I have your name?
I’m Xue Shang.
I’d like to stay here one night.
OK, Mr. Xue.
Hearing my name,
you should know that I’m the owner of the Frost Raccoon.
That’s ridiculous.
You were bragging unblushingly.
Shen Feng.
You killed a person,
making other mosquitoes smell the blood.
Who do you mean are the mosquitoes?
You are one!
If so,
I’ll kill some now.
You’re too noisy.
I...
Why are there still so many people?
It’s making me
a little bit unhappy.
Little girl,
it’s not the right place for you.
You’d better go home to be with your mom.
Then I’ll kill one more.
Hurry up and go!
If you come to fight for the Frost Raccoon too,
I... I admit defeat.
I quit!
Who on earth are you?
Bone Butterfly.
Li Ji!
It turns out that you know me!
So, is it because
you all saw it?
It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
But,
my butterfly and I are both hungry.
You!
Go get some food for me.
You’d better be quick.
If you want to run away,
I’ll be unhappy.
What’s the crappy deal?
I was almost killed!
More than half of the Magicians upstairs are dead.
Don’t talk nonsense.
If you survive,
you’ll get the money.
You said it.
Wait!
It’s a life-risking task.
I want to double the reward.
No. I want three times of the reward.
I’ll take your silence as agreement.
For the tavern, I’ll go all out.
Why are you still here?
Hurry up.
You’ve come out too?
Hurry up.
Run away from here
and don’t come back.
It’s too dangerous inside.
I thought
you had run away just now.
I wanted to,
but I
promised someone that
I would keep all Magicians’ names in mind.
However, I’ve kept only a few in mind
after such a long time.
I can remember
the frightful
little girl named Li Ji.
I also remember Xue Shang.
And...
You can keep one more in mind.
I’m Shen Yin,
from the Imperial Capital.
I’m Kynil,
from the Blessings Town.
So,
you’re a Magician too?
Yes.
Do I not look like one?
That was why you helped me just now?
Weren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?
I saw that the man
had no weapons in his hands,
so I did something.
I couldn’t just stand by.
Thanks, but you’re wrong.
In the world of Magicians,
Magic decides everything
and weapons do not matter at all.
Those who have no Halidoms usually
are the most powerful ones.
Why does the Shen Family
come to the fight too?
You’ve got many Beasts.
Only a few people can swallow the Frost Raccoon.
Besides, such a high-class Beast
appears only once in a century.
Our family won’t miss it.
She killed Shen Yue
and brought shame to our family.
Rubbish!
I shouldn’t have asked you to explore the way.
Since you outnumber me,
it’ll be really hard for me
to fight against you.
Don’t you feel shameful
to fight against a little girl like me?
A little girl?
You’re an old lady!
You monster.
Don’t you dare say it again!
Don’t make trouble.
The one who just walked in is my elder brother
Shen Si.
He’s wearing the same clothes with
the man who just got killed.
So who was the man that just got killed?
He was also my elder brother.
His name was Shen Yue.
How can you stay calm like this?
People of our Shen family are cold and ruthless.
One who brings shame to our family
gets killed.
If Shen Si wasn’t busy searching for the Frost Raccoon,
he might have killed Shen Feng earlier.
It’s so ridiculous that all our family members
have taken action for the Frost Raccoon.
Why are you so ruthless?
Are people of your family
the most powerful Magicians in the whole Xuancang?
People of our family?
We’re not bad,
but the most powerful ones
are called Lords.
They’re
the peak of the whole Magic World.
Is your elder brother a Lord?
My elder brother?
I’m afraid 100 people who are as powerful as my elder brother
would experience flash killing when fighting against a Lord.
Flash killing?
What does that mean?
Flash killing means that
one can kill his opponent within a flash.
It’s just as quick as Li Ji
killing the Magician just now.
They are so powerful?
Do you have any idea of the Magic World?
Well.
I used to think that
I knew it best in our town.
But now...
Actually,
Lords are legendary
and hardly anybody has ever seen them.
Do Lords
have monsters like a giant bat
or a giant butterfly?
They’re not monsters.
They’re Beasts.
Each Magician has his own Beast.
My Beast is called Dream Weaver.
Do you want to see it?
No, thanks.
It’s more dangerous than you imagine here.
You should go.
I don’t want to go. I want to protect you.
It seems to be coming.
I'm so unlucky
to have met such a strong opponent this time.
It's good that you know this.
I'm not talking about you.
A spider!
Help!
Wrong intelligence!
It's not the Frost Raccoon.
It's the Ice Fang!
Run!
What is it?
Help!
So, are you OK?
Thanks for saving me again.
Save it now.
We're still in danger.
Well.
Isn't it the Frost Raccoon?
Why did all the Magicians
fail to defeat it?
Because their Powers are not strong enough.
In the world of Magicians,
those who possess stronger Powers are more powerful.
What's more, what we just saw
wasn't the Frost Raccoon.
It was the Ice Fang whose Power
was over a hundred times stronger than that of the Frost Raccoon.
The Ice Fang has such a strong power that
even a Lord fears it somehow.
Are we safe here?
Wait for me here.
You may go to beat first after a while.
Kynil, run!
Head to the Blessings Town.
Your disciple is there.
Kynil.
He's my disciple?
Yes.
Go to the Blessings Town to
look for the young man.
Kynil, run!
