Chapter 193: Alchemist Calvin
On the slave ship docked at the port of Silvermoon City, just after Levi left with Knight Captain Jairo, two Silvermoon Knights commanded the dock porters to carry several large buckets of food to the ship and distribute it to the refugees on board.
Although most of it is just a bit of unpalatable black bread, wheat porridge mixed with bran, corn kernels, and a few bits of unknown biological jerky.
But for refugees who have been hungry and thirsty on the ship for a day or two, having a hot bite to eat is already a rare gift.
In addition, they had heard the news of the Northland Farm before they were taken captive, and most of them were already homeless, so they did not have much objection to the arrangement of staying on the ship temporarily, but there was a little confusion and numbness in their eyes for the rest of their lives.
Calvin placed in a few corners at random what was not even a spell, so that he could detect unfamiliar thoughts on the ship.
Of course, this kind of trick is of no use to those who have no thinking, but he really doesn't believe that the church is still so extravagant as to use the constructs to find people these days!
As long as it is an intelligent creature that comes, Calvin doesn't have to worry that the other party won't be hit.
When he had done this, Calvin went to the side of the boat, his hands propped up on the fence, and he watched the bustling crowd of people in the city on the riverbank, his eyes wandering, and he fell into a distant memory.
It had been so long since he left the city that his memories were blurred with the faces of his parents, mentor, and his fiancΓ©e.
'It's been 23 years, and I don't know if my parents are still alive?'
'Is the tutor in good health?' What happened to the subject matter that he was researching over the years?'
'And Vina'
Thinking of the girl with wavy blond hair and beautiful eyes as deep as the sea and a good smile, Calvin's face suddenly showed a hint of pain.
"Vina, if nothing else, she should have married someone else a long time ago, right?" after all, her father, who is the administrative officer of Jishui City, loves money to the core, hehe. β
Perhaps in the long years of this dark region, he has already experienced too many heart-rending nights, and he has long accepted such a cruel truth.
So in retrospect at this moment, there is only regret and a faint remembrance.
"It's late, it's late, I'm not in a hurry for the next day or two, this time I go back, I must go to Golden Radiance to have a good meal, I don't know if that tavern is still open?"
Calvin finally calmed down his mood and began to think on the bright side.
Rather than continue to feel sorry for yourself in vain, aren't the venison, the strangely smelling eel pie, the baked river crab in the shell, the spiced bread of all kinds, the smoked Roze's sausages and nut cheese fragrant?
And now he has money himself!
There's no longer a need to cheat your own slamming dad out of tuition and fees on the grounds that the academy asks for blank scrolls, spell books, or whatever.
If he wanted to, he could even buy the Golden Radiance Tavern.
Rune scrolls that were reluctant to buy in the past can be bought in bundles, and it is no problem to use them as paper to rub your butt if you can't use them.
Even in the deep-water mountain peak castle area, which once made his father daunted, he could buy a villa from the dilapidated nobles and live the luxurious life of those nobles.
As for women, in a prosperous city like Jishui City, as long as he shows his current net worth a little, those women who worship money can line up from the deep-water peaks of the castle area all the way along the coast of Jianwan to the Gate of Bode!
But for some reason, these things that could make people feel excited even if they were now within his reach not only did not give him the slightest spiritual satisfaction, but instead corroded and corroded his soul like the dark shadows of the dark region!
It makes him so irritable that he feels like he's going crazy!
If it were possible, he would rather not have this money!
No amount of money, will he be able to go back to the past?
What about buying the Golden Radiance?
Wasn't the biggest pleasure of going to the tavern back then was to enjoy the atmosphere of the tavern with a few classmates in the academy, and peek at the white thighs and the round fullness of the wine girls with a red face?
Even if you buy a villa in the castle area of the deep-water peaks, without the company of your relatives, then no matter how big the family is, you will only feel endless loneliness.
And no matter how many women there are, they can't compare to the Vena in his memory!
Because Vina was the only one who did not dislike him as a poor student, and did not dislike his family as a middle-class wine merchant, she would rather resist her father's anger and worldly incomprehension, and still make a marriage contract with him to accept the blessings of the priest.
An ivory tower of knowledge with whom he met, a good girl who really understood that he loved him.
They understand each other, support each other, and some conflicts in life can be resolved through communication.
The only time they had quarreled the most was when Calvin told each other that he wanted to go to the Shadows in search of psionic knowledge.
Vina said he was crazy, and told him to dispel this dangerous idea as soon as possible.
Calvin's future as a mage at that time was at the end of his life, and he might end his life with the title of mage around level 11.
Occupied by obsession, he finally chose not to say goodbye.
And that parting is twenty-three years
If it weren't for the luck of meeting his own boss, this would probably be a lifetime.
All kinds of homesickness, all kinds of thoughts about gains and losses, and his heart were entangled in his thoughts that were almost crazy.
What Calvin, who had not studied the psionic knowledge system, did not know was that his state of mind at the moment was extremely dangerous.
Because psionic energy is originally a way to tap into the energy of one's own mind, and the power of the mind is the source of their mana.
If he is dominated by a negative mind, he will be killed by a headshot on the spot, and a light touch will also cause his psychic energy to overflow and form, and creatures within a radius of a hundred feet may fall into madness.
And he personally is likely to change his personality from now on, becoming extreme, impulsive, irritable, stubborn and crazy!
"Ah!!h
Just when Calvin's mental threshold was about to explode because of this sudden chaotic thought, he suddenly felt that his robe was being torn by someone.
This made his mental energy seem to have an outpouring of energy, Calvin turned sharply, and pointed to his side, the tyrannical spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips, even to the point of interfering with reality.
But his movements were also slammed.
Because it was a small figure pulling his robe.
It was a moon elf girl who wasn't waist-high enough.
There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, and she seemed a little frightened by Calvin's painful and hideous countenance.
But she still mustered up the courage to find a red fruit from her clothes, and seemed a little reluctant, but she still raised her hands and handed it to Calvin, and said timidly
"Uncle, don't be sad and sad, Lolo Carrie has also lost all her family members like you. But my mother once told me that no matter how difficult life is, you must have the courage to face tomorrow.
"Maybe tomorrow will be painful, and the day after tomorrow will be painful, but if you survive many, many days, you will definitely have sweet days again.
"This is the Lingguo that my mother stuffed into my pocket before hiding me, it is very sweet, this is the last one I left in my pocket, and I have been reluctant to eat it, because I am afraid that if I finish eating it, I will not survive many days.
"But now, I've survived the hardest days, I don't need it anymore, and I want to give it to you, uncle. Taste it, it's sweet, really. β
Calvin was stunned and took the red fruit, brought it to his mouth with the encouragement of the elf girl, and took a bite of it.
Maybe the fruit has been stored for too long, and it has already begun to dry up, very sour, and astringent, just like his mood at the moment.
But for a long time, as the moment the fruit was swallowed, a wave of sweetness welled up in his throat and eyes, as if the memories that had been buried in his memory more than twenty years ago surged.
He remembered that when he was a student at the academy, he had overdrawn his living expenses for a month in order to buy a long-desired spell codex, and he ate black bread and drank cold white every day.
In the end, Vina couldn't stand it anymore, so she took him to her rental house and made him a Lingguo pie herself, which seemed to be used with this kind of fruit
Her craftsmanship was really bad, and the sugar she added was also at any cost, although she thought it was so sweet, but he was very hungry at the time, and he really thought it was the most delicious thing in the world
"It's really sweet"
Calvin held the half-bitten fruit, tears uncontrollably sliding down his face, revealing a smile of remembrance and relief.
His dying soul seemed to have been redeemed.
It was a twenty-three years of waiting and returning.
Whatever the outcome, he was going to go back to Jishui City to try to find them and meet them.
Even if it's just a long way to say yes from afar.
But the elf girl who handed him Ling Guo looked at Calvin who suddenly burst into tears, and suddenly couldn't control her emotions
"Uncle, don't cry, you cry again, Luo Jiali, Luo Jiali can't help crying, wow, Mom, Dad, Luo Jiali, I miss you so much, woo woo woo"
Calvin, who had finally regained consciousness, seemed to have some image of her.
She seems to be the elf girl who had lost her parents when she first met.
Calvin instantly felt empathy, crouched down, and hugged Lo Carrie into his arms
"Thank you, Lo Carrie. β
"Well, but uncle is good or bad, Luo Jiali has obviously cried enough, and told herself that she can't cry anymore, but I can't help it if you still hurt me" The elf cried sadly, and the snot bubbles came out, and the paste Calvin's robe was all over it.
But Calvin didn't care, apologized vigorously, and then suddenly made a decision
"Lo Carrie, uncle may have lost all of his loved ones as well. Why don't you live with your uncle from now on?
"We're going to make a warm family again. β
But to Calvin's surprise, Lo Carrie suddenly turned red as if she had made a mistake
"Well, I can feel that my uncle is a good man, but"
"Huh?" Calvin tried to put on a kind smile.
Lo Carrie's ears were a little red
"But Lo Carrie hasn't grown up yet, and it may be another fifty-seven years before she and her uncle can create more families."
"What Luo Jiali is worried about is that Luo Jiali is an elf, but her uncle is a human, if you wait so long, Luo Jiali grows up, but her uncle is old, what should I do?"
Calvin was petrified when he heard this
Banxiang roared wildly in his heart, "No!! I didn't mean that! Oh my God! Is the education of elves so mature and open??"
Then he endured his grief and indignation, and explained seriously, "No, Luo Jiali, you listen to me, uncle doesn't mean that, I mean, you can treat me as an older brother or uncle." β
"But in terms of age, Luo Jiali may be a few years older than you."
Locarrie looked at Calvin with a bewildered face full of innocence.
'This'
Calvin's mind crashed instantly
Just as Calvin racked his brains as he thought about how to explain this to the elven 'little sister'.
'Smack!'
Calvin sensed that one of his was triggered, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted Luo Carrie, who was a little ghost, and said
"Luo Jiali, there are bad guys coming, but don't be afraid, cover your eyes, and don't run around after your uncle, you know?"
"Hmm!"
Luo Jiali nodded seriously, pulling Calvin's robe with one small hand, covering her eyes with the other, and followed behind Calvin step by step.
It's like a little doll swinging around.
