The next day Gerst got up early. It was already his habit to get up early, and after years of wandering, he couldn't stand snooze, so Gust finished washing up and went downstairs to the yard. When I came yesterday, it was early in the morning, and it was dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Coming out in the morning and taking a look at it again gave Gust a preliminary understanding of this place, and the decoration in the overall wooden attic is also wooden. At this time, the courtyard surrounding the small building is even more lush, and the grass of the same height looks like it has been regularly maintained. In addition, there are various flowers and plants planted near the wooden fence, especially the green vines that climb all over the wall on the side, making this place feel like a forest, no wonder it is called a forest apartment.

At this time, the wheezing sound in the courtyard particularly attracted Gust, who saw a young man squatting with his back to himself holding a huge stone lock, and every muscle in his body was exuding strength, and the lines of the muscles were very attractive against the background of sweat.

Since it was facing away, Gerst didn't know who this was, but he just thought that there was such a diligent person here? He had already gotten up early, but looking at the other party's appearance, he had been exercising for a long time.

As if sensing someone behind him, the young man put down the stone lock and turned to look, and when he found that it was Gerst, he smiled and said, "Hey, you got up early enough." ”

Gerst saw this person's face stunned in place, and only said uncomfortably for a long time, "Are you?"

"Why don't you know me after you sleep? I'm Ronan. Ronan took the towel from the railing on the side, wiped the sweat from his body, and continued, "Why did you get up so early? ”

Gerst came back to his senses and said, "It's really you, I really didn't dare to admit that you took off your makeup, and this change is too big." ”

As soon as Ronan heard the other party say this stubble again, his face immediately became very complicated, and he stopped talking at the moment and continued to lift the stone lock and began to exercise his arm strength.

Gerst watched as the other arm's arm lifted the stone lock that looked insignificant, and in the process, the muscles on Ronan's arm stretched and contracted, telling people the power contained in it.

"I didn't expect the women's clothing boss to train his muscles like this?" Gist muttered from the side.

Ronan still held the stone lock on the ground, looked at Gerst and said, "Dude, I'll tell you again. Yesterday I dressed like that was completely Brother Mo's idea, I'm not that kind of person! So don't say that like that again, okay?"

Gerst walked into the house with a strange expression of believing you, and said as he walked, "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the main thing is that what kind of brother can I do? ”

"Damn, don't talk about these blockages in the morning, okay. After Ronan finished speaking, he picked up the stone lock and continued to practice hard, as if he wanted to vent all the unhappiness in his heart on the stone lock.

Gerst entered the house with a dark smile, he hadn't noticed just now, it turned out that there were already people working in the kitchen on the side of the living room. Gerst walked over and saw that it was the little girl from yesterday, and Gerst stood in the doorway and said, "That soft girl, so early." ”

Rourou was cooking porridge there, and when she saw Gust, she smiled and said, "Ah, it's not early." ”

Gerst looked at Rourou's skillful movements and asked, "Do you usually cook?"

Rourou nodded and said, "yes, yes." I've always been the one who cooks. ”

Gust shook his head helplessly and said, "That uncle is really, such a cute little girl can't bear to let her do these jobs." After speaking, he walked into the kitchen, looked at the ingredients and said, "Rourou, let me help you?"

"You can cook too?" asked Rourou curiously

Gerst smiled elegantly, took an apron and tied it to his body, and said, "Ang, I know a little bit about it." But I just make some Lodi dishes. ”

"Wow, what is the food like in Lodi? Rourou said excitedly.

Seeing the little girl looking at her so eagerly, Gust smiled slightly, skillfully took the existing ingredients and began to make them.

When Wang Mo went downstairs sleepily, he was stunned when he saw the food on the table, those were not the usual way they eat, except for the white porridge, of course. "When did Yau Yau learn new tricks?"

Rourou smiled and said, "These are all made by Brother Gust." ”

At this time, Gerst came out of the kitchen with four plates of vegetables and fruits, and said, "Come on, it's time to eat." ”

Ronan also walked in from the outside with a sweat at this time, smelled it and said, "It's so fragrant." Then he looked up to the table, and saw that there were four portions of food on it, one omelette, one fried pork, and one white porridge, and the main food was brown pancakes.

Ronan hurriedly sat down, sniffed hard, and said, "I've never seen such a breakfast." ”

"Well, this is Brother Gerst's Xilo rice. He's not like some people who don't do anything and just wait to eat. Rourou said with her little chin on the side.

"Well, it tastes so good, let's eat it, shall we?"

"Okay, Brother Mo is right. ”

The two guys who couldn't eat alone were obviously diverging the topic to avoid embarrassment.

After a hearty breakfast, everyone returned to their usual peaceful life, and the three big men were doing their own things or in a daze. At this time, a boy's voice came from outside the yard, "Rourou, Rourou, are you there?"

Wang Mo sat in the living room and watched, poked his head out to look, and found that it was a little boy about fifteen or sixteen years old. Of course he knew, this kid was a resident of Linghu Town.

"Yansheng, have you come to play with Rourou?" Wang Mo greeted.

"Ah, Uncle Wang. I'm here to play with Sister Rourou, is she there?" the boy named Yansheng ran into the house and asked with a smile.

"Of course, Rourou! Yansheng is looking for you. Wang Mo shouted into the room, and after a while, Rourou ran out and saw Yan Sheng first smiled happily, and then looked at Wang Mo.

Wang Mo nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't run too far." ”

Rourou nodded and said, "Well, I know. ”

Then Rourou took the little boy's hand and ran out, Wang Mo looked at Rourou's back, shook her head, sighed and said, "Hey, it's good to have someone to accompany her, although so many years have passed, Rourou is still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl." Although the people around her didn't say anything, they gradually didn't want to have more contact with her. Rourou is so lonely, and it's good to have a playmate. ”

"Lady Rourou seems to have a story?" At this time, a voice startled Wang Mo, and Wang Mo looked at it, only to see Gerst not knowing when he sat down next to him.

Wang Mo thought about it and felt that it was okay to talk to him, so he said, "Ah, yes." Rourou is a very special girl, you look like she is fourteen or fifteen years old, she is a little girl, right?"

Gerst nodded and said, "Yes, she is indeed a lovely little girl. ”

"Rourou is a war orphan, I picked it up from the battlefield back then. Wang Mo collapsed his whole body on the sofa and said, "At that time, she was like this." ”

"It's always been like this?" Gerst felt that he didn't seem to understand Wang Mo's words, so he asked again, "I don't seem to understand what you mean, is it some slang or something in your Donghan dialect?"

Gerst thought that he couldn't understand because he was not proficient enough in Donghan, but Wang Mo said funny, "Your Donghan dialect is already very good, don't be presumptuous." What I'm saying is, as you may seem, that Rourou has been like this all these years. ”

At this time, Gerst was completely uncalm, and he said with wide eyes, "Is this the so-called immortality?"

"Then I don't know, I don't know if Rourou will go through the baptism of time and die. But it is true that she has not aged. Wang Mo said.

"As far as I know, in addition to the legendary immortality, there are some ancient races whose lifespans are much longer than those of humans, and the aging rate of such races is much slower than that of humans. Gust thought for a moment and said slowly.

"Ah, I've seen some of what you said in books, but yes or no? Wang Mo looked through the wooden window and saw that two children could be vaguely seen running happily in the forest in the distance outside.

"Actually, Rourou is already very lucky to be able to meet someone as kind as you. Even if you never grow up, it doesn't matter, growing up is always accompanied by distress. Gerst also looked at Wang Mo's gaze and said softly.

"Are you kind?" Wang Mo shook his head with a chuckle and said, "I'm not a kind person." Wang Mo seemed to sigh to himself, and then he asked, "It seems that your aristocratic life is not very good, right?"

"Me?" said Gerst shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't take his eyes off the child playing in the distance. "I've never been willing to admit my noble blood, and maybe I'd even be like those commoners. ”

"Why?" Wang Mo asked puzzledly, "as far as I know, in Luodi, everyone respects the nobles, and the nobles are proud of their blood. ”

"Maybe someone else is like that. Although Gerst was still looking out the window, his eyes had already begun to drift into the distance, "Even if you are half-blooded, even if you only have a trace of noble blood in your body, your status in Luodi is much higher than that of those commoners." But only the nobles understood that such a hybrid was nothing more than the best eagle dog of their pure-blooded nobles. According to the rules of the Empire, all subjects must go to the academy to be educated, and basic martial arts is compulsory for all academies. However, while civilians were required to learn basic martial arts, they were not required to serve in the Empire. And pure-blood nobles don't need to enter the army to serve, they are high, and their lives are also the most precious, so they will not be exposed to these dangerous things. Half-breed aristocrats, on the other hand, undergo the most rigorous training from an early age, and are forced to serve in the army for at least four years at the age of sixteen. ”

"Isn't that good? Serve your country as well. Wang Mo said.

"Yes, it is indeed the right to serve the country. I used to think so, and even all the half-blood nobles thought so, and took honor of building meritorious deeds. Because we have been taught since childhood that the honor of the nobility is to be defended with our lives. "But do you know what? Salant does not allow anyone other than a pure-blood nobleman to practice magic, even if there is a person of good talent in a half-blood, it is a great crime to abolish magic and exile or even directly sentence him to death." ”

Gerst seemed to be thinking about some more memories, and his empty eyes began to become gloomy. It was a camp set up deep in the forest, and it was late at night. A sturdy man looked at the hundred teenagers under the age of sixteen in front of him and said, "Today is your last mission in the training camp, after which you can all graduate from here and serve in the army, and prove your glory with your hands!"

"Glory!

"In the last mission, the two people whose names I read entered the corresponding dark room!"

Young Gerst excitedly entered the dark room, and with him at this time was his cousin, who was also the best brother to him since childhood. It is said that the elder brother is only a month older than Gist, and he is more robust than Gist.

"Xiaoge, after today, we can go to the army together to make contributions and fight for the honor of the empire!"

"yes, I don't know if this last mission will be difficult. Gust said excitedly.

"No matter how difficult it is, there is nothing that our brothers can't solve together. The cousin smiled innocently.

At this time, an emaciated man walked in, his face expressionless, which quieted the two brothers, who were originally full of affection. And the next words made the two of them fall into an ice cave.

"The last mission, kill the other party and get out of here. Remember that this is an order of the Empire, and remember that you are soldiers of the Empire and nobles of the Empire. ”

Quiet, extremely quiet.

The cousin suddenly laughed, he looked at Gerst and said, "I understand what the empire means, as a soldier, you must accept orders unconditionally, even the closest people cannot have any hesitation. Remember, Gust, our honor, my brother will always be by your side in the future, you must remember. ”

After speaking, the cousin pulled out the short blade on his waist and cut his throat directly, and watching his cousin turn into a cold corpse, Gust did not change in the slightest, as if he had really turned into an obedient machine and as if he had fallen into deep thought.

There is a turn in the picture, Gerst is kneeling in the center of a gorgeous hall, and a white-bearded old man above him is expressionlessly pronouncing something, "Practicing magic because of impure blood, now sentence Gerst to abolish magic and permanently exile from Luodi!"

Gerst's eyes lit up as he appeared in a gloomy dungeon, and a fair-faced middle-aged man looked at him as if he were looking at a familiar person, but Gust knew he didn't know him.

"Go, and leave Lodi from now on. You can go to Donghan, which is also within the empire, and you can live freely. ”

"My magic?"

"Don't say anything here, leave, never approach the Imperial Capital again. ”

"Hey, what's the fuss?" Wang Mo patted Gust's shoulder, and he found that Gust was looking out the window in a daze for a long time, thinking that there was something wrong with him.

Gust came back to his senses, but his eyes were still so misty, "But they just think of the half-bloods as their minions, and the minions must be obedient and hold them in the palm of their hands." That's why they don't allow half-bloods to learn magic, so they've instilled in us from a young age the idea of glory is the most valuable weapon in their hands to turn embarrassing nobles like us, who are neither high nor low, into the most trustworthy weapons in their hands. So it's okay to fight for the Empire, but I won't fight for the selfish nobles who think they are on top. ”

"So you saw through all of this before you ran?"

"No, I didn't see through it until I was exiled. Gerst withdrew his gaze, picked up the glass and took a sip.

The sun was about to rise to the highest point, and Rourou Yan sat on the grass against the big tree tiredly. Yan Sheng looked at the sky through the dense canopy, and the bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, like stars hanging in the green sky.

"Sister Rourou, I will go to school in the city in a few days. Yansheng said.

"In the city, but can't you spirits go outside too much?" asked Rourou, puzzled.

"Hey, you can't stay in this place all the time, right?" Yan Sheng's still somewhat immature face showed a trace of melancholy that shouldn't be at his age, "I have to go out after all." ”

"What do you mean?"

"That's what I mean, too. Don't worry, as long as we don't use the power of the Spirit Clan, we won't reveal our identities. Yan Sheng looked at Rourou and smiled with relief.

"Sister Rourou, when I grow up in the future..... Shall I marry you?"

Rourou was slightly stunned when she heard this, as if it had been like this before, and the young man had said such things to herself.

"Your dad used to say that, but now?" Rourou shook her head and said, "I'm different from you, you have your own life, and I'm very happy when I see you living happily." ”

Yansheng sighed and said, "Dad, he doesn't have the courage, but I won't. ”

With a snort, she laughed softly. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Yan Sheng's head and said, "How old are you? I just want to marry a wife! Read your books well, the outside world is very big, and there are many beautiful girls." When you understand what it means to like and what love is, you will know. ”

Rourou pointed to her face and said, "Look at this scar of mine, how ugly it is. If you marry me, you'll suffer a big loss. ”

Yan Sheng looked at Rourou's hideous scar and said, "No, I don't think so. I think it's beautiful, really. ”

Rourou paused again, then turned her head and stood up, patted the dust on her buttocks, and said, "Okay, it's not too early, I should go back to cooking." ”

Yan Sheng smiled when he saw Rourou leave without saying a word, and suddenly thought of something and shouted, "By the way, Sister Rourou, my dad asked me to come over and tell Uncle Wang that there have been some sneaky outsiders in Linghu Town recently!"

"Oh, I know!" Rourou thought to herself as she walked home quickly, "Really, even though I'm a child, what I said really makes me blush." ”

"Big devil! I'm here to cook. As soon as I entered the house, Rourou saw that the table was already full of food, and it was still a Luodi dish that I had never seen before. Rourou immediately knew who had made the lunch, and immediately chuckled, "Wow, it turns out that eating ready-made food is so happy." ”
