Chapter 7: Gray? Byrons
Grace? Byron was a controversial existence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In the eyes of the Lytin magicians, he was a heretic among heretics. He did not graduate from the Academy of Magic, and was even deprived of his status as a magic apprentice, but he called himself the Ryding Magician, which was very shameless in the eyes of the so-called orthodox Leyting Magicians.
He claimed to be Latudiner? Byrons's great-grandson, but the Wizards' Guild doesn't recognize him as Latudiner? Descendants of Byrons. The evidence listed by the Wizards' Guild indicates that he was a man who came out of nowhere and was accepted as an apprentice of magic by the Letting-Saktin School of Witchcraft and Wizardry because of his lineage as a Lytin magician.
Grace? Byron insisted that he was Latudiner? Byrons's great-grandson, but that was after he became famous, and he had never mentioned it before. When he was a student at the Academy of Magic, his contemporaries had joked about it more than once, and he didn't care.
Now Gray? Byron has made it into the textbooks of the Academy of Magic and has become a typical villain.
In the eyes of the Tayrong people, Gray? Byron was a great general. He was able to fight well, and once commanded 30,000 Tayjung troops to defeat 150,000 Leiting allied forces, forcing the Leting and Tayjong to sign a peace agreement.
He married the daughter of a Taeyong nobleman, after which he retired to the mountains and forests, and enjoyed the world of two with his wife. It was turned into an opera by writers and became the highest-grossing romance of the opera house.
In the eyes of the Irato, Gray? Byron was a philosopher, a great theologian. He has a unique view of God, man, and the world. As a Leiting man, he recognized the Ira's belief in the god of the Apose, and he also received the water rite and became the priest of the god of the Apose, which was before he became the general of the Tayyong people.
In the eyes of the Ilibians, Gray? Byron was an impartial and a thinker. He never discriminated against any race, respected foreign cultures, and opposed the division of people into three, six, nine, and so on according to their bloodline. He valued order and responsibility, and his appearance changed the social fabric of the Ilibians, uniting the scattered Ilibians into one of the powerful races of the New World.
Ibbi will Gray? Byrons' name is written in textbooks, calling him "the father of modern Ilibi." As the influence of the Ilibians in the New World grew, Gray? Byrons's name also spread.
The Leting people are also one of the strong clans, and they also have a lot of influence in the New World. The Ilibians did not allow the Lydine Magicians to insult their "Father of the Nation", and the Lydine Magicians did not allow the Ilibians to exalt a heretical magician to the sky. Since the Ilibi and the Letin Wizard are in Grey? Byron was at odds on the issue, and the two sides were in a constant state of hostility, and there was a full-scale war between the two sides.
So Gray? Byron was also regarded as a plague god by the war-fearing common people, and the name was demonized to scare disobedient children.
All in all, the races of the New World are interested in Gray? Byron received mixed reviews, which led to a new aphorism: Gray in everyone's eyes? Byron is all different.
And in Meier's opinion, Gray? Byron was a particularly unreliable father.
This guy loves his wife to the point of hopelessness, so much so that Mel, who is caught between them, often feels that he is a very superfluous being.
Oh! My baby! My most precious eyeballs! I can't live without you for a second! ββWhat father in this world would express his love for his wife in such a blatant way every less than ten minutes?
However, he was very strict with Mel, forcing him to learn all kinds of knowledge from an early age, and did not tell him what this knowledge was for. In front of Meyer, Gray is not your average arbitrary. As long as it was his decision, Mel must not resist, or Gray would hang him on a high place, scratch the soles of his feet with feathers, and not allow him to laugh.
On the day he turned sixteen, Gray didn't even say a word of congratulations. He threw Mel a baggage, which was not a gift, but luggage. Gray asks Maier to visit his uncle in Liangyue City on behalf of his mother, and then kicks him out of the house.
Mel took the token given to him by his mother and stood at the bottom of the mountain in a daze. He stayed in the mountains for sixteen years, during which time he never descended. So he didn't know anything about the things under the mountain, and he didn't know how to get to Liangyue City.
So he could only follow what he had learned from his father and set out to find traces of people. He soon found a trail that he walked until he came to a village that afternoon.
When you get to a populated area, things are much easier. After many inquiries, Maier finally knew the way to Liangyue City, but at this time he was not much entangled.
In fact, Gray didn't give much money to Mel in the first place, although he tried to save money along the way, and sometimes he was even reluctant to spend the money on accommodation, but this did not solve the problem of insufficient entanglement for him. In order to complete the task given to him by his father, he can only figure out how to do it himself.
One day, he was robbed by several robbers in ragged clothes. This was the first time that Mel had been robbed, and he couldn't understand why the men had threatened him to hand over the money, and if they would bow their heads and beg him, he wouldn't mind giving them a few copper plates.
Mel tried to reason with them, but the robbers didn't listen to him and killed them with short knives. Mel could only fight, he didn't want to kill at first, so he didn't use magic, but used the long sword he carried with him to fight the robbers, but the fierce robbers wanted his life every time they attacked, which annoyed Myer.
Before descending the mountain, Gray told Myer: "Remember, if anyone has malicious intent to kill you, it is right to kill them." β
Mel remembered his father's words, so he didn't hesitate to kill him. After killing the robbers, he was about to leave, when he noticed the short knives that the robbers were carrying.
As the saying goes, when people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. Mel is now shy, and it is time when he needs money. The other day, when he was passing through a town of Leiting, he thought about selling the longsword he was carrying for money, but in the end he didn't.
Now there are a few short knives on the ground that look like they can still be used, even if they are sold cheaper, they can be exchanged for a few copper plates, right?
So Maier gathered the robbers' weapons and sold them in nearby towns, and only a few copper plates were sold. These copper plates made Mel suddenly realize that he could make a fortune by robbing the bad guys.
Mel is a very active person who will do whatever he wants. After that, he would ask everywhere where there were small bandits or robbers, and then go to the area to squat and snipe the outlaws.
Mel's Leting magic was taught to him by his father, and it is what the Lighting magicians often refer to as "heretical magic". This kind of magic, adapted to the rules of the new world, was not recognized by the Ryding mages, but it was much more efficient than the old magic. Even Mel, a novice who had only been exposed to magic for a few years, was able to face a dozen sophisticated bandits on his own.
After a few successes, Mel's emboldening grew. He began to inquire about large bandit groups and bandit gangs, and wanted to make a big deal. However, with Maier's strength at the time, he could only deal with small groups of outlaws, and he could only be hunted down against large bandit bands or bandit gangs - in fact, it was about the same now.
So Maier, who attacked the camp of the bandits alone at night, failed. He just killed a dozen robbers by sneak attack, and then he was chased by the robbers all over the mountain. If he hadn't drilled the horns of the bull and gave up in time, he would definitely die at the hands of the robbers in the end.
After that, he punctured his inflated self-confidence and looked for easy targets with his feet on the ground. He relied on this method to save enough entanglement and came to Liangyue City.
He originally thought that the "uncle" mentioned by his father and mother was in Liangyue City, and he didn't want this Liangyue City to be just one of his uncle's fiefdoms. The current city lord of Liangyue City is the second daughter of his uncle, one year younger than him, that is, his cousin.
Myer's cousin's name is Yishan, and in Myer's opinion, she is a hard-witted and bad-tempered fellow. When she learned of Mary's intention, she told him that he must hand over the prayer note according to the etiquette of the Tayrong nobles, and she would pass it on to her father, and then he could go to his father's home, Yaolin City, to ask for an audience. Yaolin City is in the south of Liangyue City, and it takes three days to ride alone.
In line with the principle of efficiency first, Maier wanted to leave when Yishan sent the post, so that he could see his uncle as soon as the post arrived. However, Yishan said that "this is not in accordance with the etiquette law", and he had to wait for the receipt to come before letting him go.
In desperation, Maier waited in Liangyue City for six days, and only after Yishan got the receipt did he go to Yaolin City alone. After visiting his uncle Teng Yan for his mother, Teng Yan did not let Maier go, but stared at him for a long time with a very uncomfortable gaze that made Maier very uncomfortable, and then asked him to bring a letter to Yishan for himself.
He thought it was just an errand job, but he didn't want Yishan to blow up after reading the letter, yelling at Meier, saying "It's all your conspiracy", which made the second monk Meier confused.
Then Maier was forcibly left in Liangyue City by Yishan.
Maier is a very principled person, he doesn't want to eat and drink in vain here in Yishan, so he started his old business again, and began to squat in the territory of Liangyue City, sniping all kinds of lawbreakers. This can not only help Yishan maintain social order, but also make extra money by selling loot, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Later, Mel discovered the Bounty Hunters' Guild. When he learned that he could get an extra bounty for sniping a particular outlaw, he regretted it greatly. If he had known about this earlier, he would have made a lot of money.
Yishan soon learned about it. She found Myer and said a lot of things to him that he didn't understand, and finally said something like "You have to be a nobleman, don't just think about these uncivilized things", which made Mel baffled.
Later, Maier rescued Kiki by the lake, and Maier wanted Yishan to accept her as a maid, but he didn't want Yishan to start a fire for some reason, so he was so frightened that he quickly took Kiki away.
After this, Yishan forbade Maier to do his old job again, and asked him to do a serious job. Yishan saw that Maier liked to run around, so she asked him to register as a merchant. But with Maier's character, he can't be an honest businessman, and he doesn't do much to seduce outlaws to attack as a businessman, and then make a lot of money, but Yishan just turned a blind eye to this and didn't say much.
"Uh...... Originally, I just wanted to talk about my father, but it seems to be off topic. Mel scratched at her hair in embarrassment, "But that's about it." β
Next to the campfire, 16 Yan 15 and 16 Yan 17 held wooden bowls, spoons were inserted in the bowls, and the soup in the bowls was already cold. Kiki had heard these things from Mel for a long time, so she listened while eating, and did not delay eating.
"Residence...... Can you be saved by such a person......" Sixteen Rock Seventeen had an incredible expression on his face, "This must be the arrangement of the Great God of the Apocalypse......"
Sixteen Yan Fifteen nodded slightly, his little face was slightly red, and he did not speak.
"Hah, maybe." Maier shrugged, "Whoever arranged it, you're already my captives. Now you have two choices, first, make me a helper. I've had a good job this time, and at this rate, I guess it won't be long before I buy a second truck, and I need exactly two drivers. β
After Mel finished saying the first option, he didn't speak, so Sixteen Rock Seventeen couldn't help but ask.
"What about the second option?"
"The second option is to let you go now, but you have to take off your clothes and give it to me, after all, I'm going to trade this thing for money."
"Uh, so we don't have any clothes?" Sixteen Yan Seventeen said with a bitter face.
"You can have the big rabbit take you to a nearby village for help, so that you have a good chance of getting a new set of clothes and a husband. After that you will live the life of a normal woman, and as long as you don't talk about your past, no one will know what you have done. β
Sixteen Rock Fifteen and Sixteen Rock Seventeen glanced at each other, and saw the tangled hearts behind each other's pupils.
"Don't be in a hurry, because of this heavy rain, I will stay here for two days and wait for the water on the road to dry up before leaving. You can think hard about these two days, but you have to make a decision before I go. β
"What if we don't make a decision by then?" Sixteen Rock Seventeen asked casually.
Maier stared into Sixteen Rock Seventeen's eyes for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled.
"Then I'll sell you to slave traders."
"Uh......"
Sixteen Yan Seventeen stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak casually anymore.
