Extra: Owen's Past (Part I)
Owen, you're back, what's your calling?" a middle-aged woman, busy by the stove, playing with her son who had just returned.
This person is Owen's mother, Lady Gerry Christian, the mother and son live in a remote town in the Holy Country, Owen's father died early because of a serious illness, and the mother and son depend on each other, although they can't live a rich life, but there is no problem with food and clothing.
Owen didn't speak, just stood in the doorway.
Ten years old is the turning point of every child, as long as there is enough money, you can carry out the "sublimation ceremony" in the Church of Truth, and the cost of the sublimation ceremony is actually not high, because the failure rate is also very high, and the church carries out the most ordinary "sublimation ceremony" The failure rate is very high, but relatively, failure will not have any impact on the children of the sublimation ceremony.
"Why? Mother asked disapprovingly. As a mother, it is false not to want your children to get ahead, but I believe that more mothers want their children to be safe, just like Frigga in Norse mythology who ran through the Nine Realms for Badr and pleaded for all things to make a vow not to hurt Badr.
I'm sure every mother would do the same if they had the ability.
"It's okay, kid, even if you're not a professional, we can still do well. Mother looked at Owen with a smile.
"No······ Mother, I'm already a professional, but I ······" Owen seemed a little stumped, and it seemed that the awakened vocation was not very much in line with Owen's heart.
"What is your calling?"
"Machine······ Mechanic. Owen lowered his head as if he was about to cry.
Gerry covered the pot, washed her hands, dried them, walked over to Owen's side and touched Owen's head.
"Wouldn't that be nice, the same profession as your father? Then Gerry gently protected Owen and kissed Owen on the cheek.
"But······ The situation of our family. "The children of the poor are in charge early, this sentence is not false, Owen knows the situation of his family very well, mechanic, as the most lucrative and expensive profession in the world, needs to invest a lot of resources in research in the early stage of cultivation. And Owen's home······ Obviously, it does not have such strength.
"It doesn't matter, mom will find a way, it's not mom bragging, your father used to be a very powerful mechanic, he didn't have anything else, but left a lot of drawings, I will send you to the ordinary professional low-level academy first, as long as you are willing to work hard and get the academy's escort, you can definitely become a very powerful professional." ”
"Mommy ······"
"No problem, teach it to your mother! Since you want to be a professional, how can any parent not support you!" Gerry gave her son a sweet smile.
If he could do it all over again, then Owen would definitely give up on this path, no, without ifs, fate would not change.
Since then, his mother has often worked late and returned, and Owen has entered a regular vocational school, but, contrary to his wishes, Owen does not seem to have the talent for it.
What others learn once, Owen has to learn two or three times to remember, and even refining what a professional like Mana should be born with Owen needs to re-learn. Owen's talent in cultivation can be described as devastating - stupid.
But Owen and her mother Gerry did not give up, although the two never discussed this matter carefully, but maybe it was the tacit understanding between mother and son, Owen studied harder, and his mother still went out early and late to earn tuition for Owen, maybe, it was a gift from God, maybe it was the calm before the storm, or something else, the guaranteed place in the academy fell on Owen's head.
This made everyone unhappy, and many parents and children protested at the school gate, believing that Owen's intelligence was not worthy of the "escort" qualifications.
The answer given by the school is very simple, only one sentence: "Work hard for life and become a genius." "It turns out that although Owen is not able to absorb a large amount of mana like others in cultivation, Owen came up with a way to make up for it, and as a mechanic, he doesn't need to fight head-on, so Owen completely crossed a major level and directly began to study the puppet.
His father's Codex came in handy at this time, and if Zhou Feiyu saw it, I am afraid that Zhou Feiyu would also be surprised, because the things in this Codex were nothing else, but the prototype of the loading system.
In this world, magic stones and other items are all disposable, thrown away when they are used up, and there is no "concept" of charging, and the mana in the cultivator's body is only stored in the body and used when it is used.
Owen used the "magic pool" that could be stored to make his puppet move, and Owen only needed to use a little magic power to manipulate the puppet, of course, this secret Owen didn't tell anyone, what was given to the mechanic's union was only a semi-finished product of the "magic pool" that was not loaded, but relying on this semi-finished product, Owen successfully entered the Junior Professions College, an academy composed of nobles.
"Mom! I'm escorted! We're going to move later!" Owen returned home with the escort book and almost as fast as he could.
Gerry took the admission letter from her son's hand in disbelief, and her mother's eyes moistened when she saw the big "Guaranteed Admission Notice" on the guarantee letter.
Gray has always loved her husband very much, and now her son's figure of constantly studying day and night seems to gradually overlap with her husband.
"We can move to a big city in the future! Not only that, but the school will also subsidize our living expenses!" Owen said happily.
"Yes, great, thank you Lord of Truth. The mother held back her tears and laughed happily.
"Mom, let's pack up now!"
"Okay, let's pack up now and leave tomorrow. ”
Joy, there is only joy in the hearts of the two at this time, the research of the father was completed by his son Owen, if there is a spirit in the sky, I am afraid that Owen's father will laugh at the birth, but ······
"Mechanic, vomit. "That's the wind in the Colleges of Higher Education.
"It's just a bunch of blacksmiths, dragging something. ”
"Mechanics should be removed from the ranks of professionals, too weak. ”
Mechanics are the least popular profession in this world, especially in the Holy Country.
The Black Sand Empire and the Northern Union are proud of their warriors, and frontal hand-to-hand combat, hard steel is the "Tao" recognized by the two countries.
And the holy kingdom dominated by knights, following the knightly way of righteous and bright duels, can be said to be extremely disgusted with the mechanic's skills, traps, and substitution combat. But a lot of the best weapons are made by mechanics. So I didn't say it next to the big face, but by the way, the south worships magic, only the east, and the machine country that makes the four countries jealous will be named after the machine - there is the world's top technology.
