Chapter 2: Humiliation

"At the moment, it seems that a foundry or alchemist is the best choice, if it really doesn't work, then stay and be an excellent merchant and help me take care of the business in North Wind City. ”

Dylan pondered for a moment and whispered, "Let me think about it." ”

Although he said this, Dylan knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to stay and do business, because if he did so, not only would it affect himself, but even the Green family would become the laughing stock of the North Wind City and even the entire empire.

Many people will mercilessly taunt: "Look, that guy Aofeng Green has given birth to a completely useless seed, and can only suck his father's essence blood." ”

When Dylan thought of those hateful faces, there was self-reproach and uneasiness in his eyes. He would never let that happen, for he was the son of Aofeng Green, a descendant of the former deputy head of the Lion Knights.

With his father's support, Dylan slowly stood up, and the two of them walked together towards the castle in the distance.

Along the way, many civilians in the city of North Wind pointed fingers at the father and son Green, and Dylan could only suppress the sense of humiliation in his heart, pretending not to hear, and continued with difficulty.

At the same time, a loud voice of congratulations came from not far away: "Ouch, isn't this Young Master Stark, who has been recognized as a genius in the cultivation of water magicians, you are really amazing!"

"Yes, yes, Young Master Stark is worthy of being a good son of the old city lord, and he really has the ability!"

"It's just..."

Countless echoing voices continued to come, making Dylan, who was already extremely uncomfortable, even more heartbroken.

Those people, who had been laughing and insulting Rosen Stark earlier, are now his sycophants.

"Haha, there's no way, Young Master Ben is just gifted, and he is also favored by the gods!" The person who spoke obviously deliberately raised his voice, hoping that people on the surrounding streets could hear it.

"Hehe, a fool is a fool, and you will never be a truly noble nobleman!" Rosen Stark was overjoyed.

He was originally the son of the old city lord of the North Wind City, and he was also a famous young master in the North Wind City. However, during the reign of his father, Gro Stark, he was finally discovered by the Imperial Treasurer and sentenced to death, and stripped the Stark family of his title and made him a commoner.

And the Green family was awarded the title of baron because of the great achievements made by Aofeng Green in the battle to destroy the dragon twelve years ago, but there has been no suitable fief to give. Six years ago, Master Stark was executed, and Aofeng took over the small city of the northern part of the Garneman Empire, and just filled the vacancy of the lord of the city of the north of the North Wind City.

You must know that tax evasion is an extremely serious crime in the Ganeman Empire, and it can be directly punished by death. Thinking that the dead Groh Stark did not expect that because of his momentary greed, the Stark family would collapse all at once.

And his son Rosen has also changed from a pampered aristocratic young master to a street gangster who often can't fill his stomach.

But the aristocratic young master, who used to have no worries about food and clothing, has no ability to support himself, so he can only do some petty theft in the North Wind City to make a difficult living.

Because of this, Rosen has always hated the Green family, he never thought that his father would be stupid enough to deduct taxes, but thought that the Green family bought connections in the imperial capital in order to get the fief of North Wind City, so that his father's tax problem went wrong.

It's just that no one expected that the empire's biennial inspection would give this down-and-out Rosen a chance to turn over.

But Rosen's hatred for the Green family has not diminished at all. Especially after knowing that Dylan Green is a "stone", the schadenfreude in his heart is even more difficult to hide.

"Hmph, before leaving the North Wind City, Young Master Ben must humiliate you well!" Looking at the distant figure of the Green father and son, Rosen showed an extremely evil smile on his face.

Three days later, the two reserve magicians who were selected were to follow the officials in charge of receiving them to the imperial capital.

During these three days, the Green family has been in a state of silence.

The difference is that the families in North Wind City, which have long since declined and lost their titles, privately treat the Green family as a joke. This ridiculous arrogance has long been deeply engraved into their bone marrow.

In the afternoon, Dylan felt irritable and wanted to go for a walk by the river outside the city. Several guards were worried about the safety of their young master, so they wanted to follow Dylan out of the city, but he stopped them.

In this way, Dylan staggered out of the City of North Wind alone, walking towards the river not far away. Sitting under a large tree by the river, Dylan was upset and irritable. At this time, he was very confused and did not know where his path was.

A cool autumn breeze blew, and Dylan lay down, looking at the clear blue sky, and the anxiety in his heart decreased slightly.

But at this moment, a familiar and disgusted figure appeared in front of him.

"Hehe, you shit, you dare to go out of the city alone, it looks like you're going to die!"

Behind him, there were two sturdy young men, apparently the helpers Rosen had found.

Dylan frowned and quickly stood up. But before he could stand firm, Lawson grabbed him by the collar.

Dylan is already thin, and Rosen is a head taller than him, so such a disparity in strength is obviously unfair. But how could Rosen, who is extremely narrow-minded, care about this?

Rosen pushed Dylan to the ground, and then sat on top of Dylan all at once.

"You shit, you're useless, it's a shame for the nobles!" Rosen said, grabbing a handful of dirt and smearing it all over Dylan's face.

Although Dylan tried his best to resist, he had no choice but his strength could not compete with Rosen. It's just that no matter how Rosen insulted him, he didn't say a word and didn't shed a single tear.

Seeing that Lawson had the upper hand, the two ruffian youths who came with him continued to fan the flames on the side, and they had no intention of interfering.

And Rosen didn't expect that Dylan was so tenacious that he didn't mean to ask for mercy at all, and the nest fire in his heart reached its peak in an instant.

A fierce glint flashed in Lawson's eyes, and he dragged Dylan to the water's edge, then pressed his head hard into the water.

The two tall young men saw that Rosen had a murderous intention, and immediately panicked. No matter how Dylan said it, he was also the young master of the Green family, and the city lord Aofeng Greena was even more of a baron of the empire. If Dylan really died, then none of them could escape.

"Lawson, stop! You can't do that!"

"You reckless man, stop me!"

One of them wanted to step forward and pull Rosen away, but the other young man was already panicking, he grabbed the former's sleeve, and said with a panicked face: "Let's run, while no one sees it now, let's get out of here quickly!"

The two quickly fled the scene, but Lawson still pressed Dylan's head into the water.
