Chapter 52: Howl's Past

After selling the ancestral weapon, my father took out the double knife that he had used before, although it was not as easy to use as the ancestral weapon, but it could still be used for tasks to survive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He also obtained the Hunters' Guild's approved Hunter status a few days later, becoming a Level 1 Hunter. He began to look forward to it, thinking that he would finally be able to share the burden with his father.

But he found that it seemed as if it was too late.

The father died, and it is said that he was sacrificed on the hunting grounds. Several of the hunters who had gone on the mission with my father were killed, and their bodies were never found.

He sat in a decadent place at the door of his house, and the villagers who looked at him with disdain and disdain in his eyes. In the past, he thought that it didn't matter what the villagers thought of their family, because their family was still living together and warmly, but now, his father is gone.

The home is incomplete.

Only his sick mother and his sister are a few years old, and there is no doubt that he will have to shoulder the burden of maintaining the family. In order to make a living, he had to be a hunter.

But he didn't choose to be a local hunter, because the local hunters looked at him as if they were ridiculous, and some people even said, "This kid and his father insisted on taking on that high-risk mission, which was really incompetent, and even the hunters of the whole team were sacrificed together." ”

He was really angry, he had thought about fighting those hunters, but he knew that the gap between him and those hunters was too big, and he had no chance of winning at all.

His mother can still do the most basic housework, which is also a very important reason why he can leave here with peace of mind to earn remuneration in other places, and as his sister grows up, he will be able to share some light work for his mother in the future.

"And then I came here. When we met, I had just been here, and I wasn't familiar with this place at all, and if it hadn't been for you, Master Hal, I might have been eaten by an unknown monster. Buck drained the little beer that was left in his glass, but it seemed to be finished, "Waiter, get another stout." ”

"That's your story." Hal seemed interested.

"Well, it's bad."

"It's okay, at least you still have a mother and a sister. And I, on the other hand, have no relatives. Hal's eyes darkened, "Well, let's listen to my story, but I'm not very good at telling stories, so you can just leave it at that." ”

"You know what a dragonman is." Before telling the story, Hal asked Buck, and Buck nodded his head, the existence of the dragon people may be known to everyone, for example, the lord of the lonely city is a dragon man.

"The popularity of dragon people among the people at the bottom of society is really 'high' sometimes." Hal whispered in a mocking tone.

Buck didn't understand why Hal was asking this question, and Hal just casually brought it up and then began to tell his story.

――――

Many years ago, there was a small child.

Children have no memories of their fathers since they were young, and their memories of their mothers are only those from a very young age.

What kind of person his father was, except for what he heard his mother talk about when he was a child, he didn't know anything else. But he didn't want to know anything about his father, who had left him and his mother behind, and he felt he had no reason to know.

Although his mother does not have much weight in his memory, as the only relative he can recall, his mother's position in his heart will never change. The mother in my memory is a beautiful woman, and even if I use all the words used to describe beauty in this world, I can't describe her beauty.

He said these words not because his mother was such a wonderful existence to him, but that, in his heart, this was his only sustenance.

This is the most beautiful memory of a child as a child.

However, it's always easy to slip away from this kind of good time, as if God was trying to play a joke on you. His mother was taken away in front of him by a group of mysterious people who came from nowhere, and he tried to stop this group of mysterious people from taking his mother, but his own power was really insignificant compared to this group of people, and they didn't take him seriously at all, even if he was trying very hard to stop them from taking his mother.

I'm really too weak. From a very young age, he had the thought, 'I have to be strong and save my mother.'" ’

After my mother was taken away, the room, which he had thought was small, suddenly became spacious, a little hollow and empty. He stood at the door of this room, hesitating whether to go back to this 'home'. Shattered, his home alone.

Let's go, since this home is no longer a home, there is nothing to be nostalgic about. What's more, the people here are not very friendly to them in the first place, and a few days ago he was beaten up by several children in the village, and his mother cried while giving him medicine.

"If only he were still here, the villagers wouldn't have abandoned us like they do now." He still remembered what his mother had said that day.

His father was a hero who often had to fight powerful monsters outside. So there was no time to come back, and his mother often told him that.

However, what kind of hero is a hero who can't even protect his own family. Every time his mother spoke of this heroic father, he thought so.

This so-called father is no different from a joke in his eyes.

――――

From that day on, he left the village where he had lived, wandering with the money from the sale of his house in search of his own foothold. However, in every village he visited, he was inevitably despised by the villagers around him, and even some of the people in the newly established village would openly reject him from the outside of the village.

That's why, as a child, he kept asking the villagers who saw him as an alien, but no one paid attention to him, and some even kicked him again.

Arrogance, contempt and hatred of humans, this is the perception of dragonmen by those at the bottom of society, and it is deliberately exaggerated by some people, causing more misunderstandings, resulting in a disgust for dragonmen at the bottom of society.

This trend continues to grow, and I don't know who provoked the contradictions, and more and more people at the bottom choose to stand on the opposite side of the dragon people.

But this was something he realized later, and now he is completely unaware of the phenomenon.
