Chapter 3: Bitterness

"What!?" Loran couldn't believe his ears, although he had never seen a wizard, but he had heard all kinds of things about wizards from the mouths of the townspeople, and he didn't know that among the "extreme evils" that were passed down by word of mouth, his own family was actually included.

"Loraine, our family is a wizard family that has been a witch for generations." Hawke indifferently emphasized again.

"This ......"

"Me, your grandfather, and even your ...... Ahem, all relatives, big and small, are shamans. Do you think we are 'extremely evil'? Hawke's eyes were eagle-eyed, waiting for Loraine's answer.

Loren was silent for a moment, and then said in an extremely affirmative tone, "Absolutely not! ”

Hawke's eyebrows softened, and he sighed slightly: "It's good that you understand this, but it's a pity, the era of wizards has passed, and now only knights are recognized by the world." ”

"Father, you've always said that this is a world where 'strength reigns'. So, as long as we wizards are strong enough, can't we also gain the respect of the world? ”

"Strong enough? Haha, good one is strong enough! Do you think this 'enough' is easy to accomplish? Loraine, what year is it? Hawke's right palm suddenly clenched into a fist, and the air beside him fluctuated faintly.

"The year 1013 of the Shenwu Era."

"More than a thousand years! No one has reached that 'enough' for more than a thousand years! Loraineβ€”" Hawke noticed his gaffe, and quickly stretched out his voice to control his emotions: "Unless you become the supreme power of this continent, it can be called 'enough'." ”

"Father, I'll ......"

"Well, no more talk. It's the age of knights, and if you want our Subaru family not to be bullied by outsiders, you swear to be a powerful knight. Hawke interrupted Loren without hesitation, his heart aching, seventeen years ago, Rocky, his own brother whom Lorrain did not know, had said the same thing to Hawke.

"This ...... I haven't even arrived at the beginning of the knight now, maybe it's really talent......"

"Kid, my talent is much worse than yours, but I'm a three-star knight now, do you know why?"

Luo Lan's lips opened slightly, and he shook his head.

"I'm a wizard, I'll teach you how to use wizards to help you become a knight."

"Oh? Could it be that your father was a battle wizard of the school of war? Rheinharut heard in Loren's head.

"The wizard's method?" Lorraine looked at Hawke in surprise. In his cognition, wizards and knights should be completely different directions, but he didn't expect that there would be complementarities between them.

"Yes, it's a shortcut to make you a knight. Time is running out, and you must reach the Beginner Knight Retinue before the admissions representatives from the respective houses arrive, which is the minimum standard to enter the Knight Academy. As long as you can enter the Knight Academy and get in touch with more systematic cultivation methods, you will have a high chance of becoming a powerful knight. Hawke looked at Loren expectantly, and inadvertently gave a wry smile that was caught by Loren before he disappeared.

"Children will do their best to practice, so please let my father teach me now."

"It's late! You get a good night's rest today, and wait for me in the grove next to the Subaru Hills after nightfall. No, from now on, you have to change your routine to like this - rest during the day and practice at night. ”

"Remember, child!"

"Click......" Hawk activated the mechanism on the wall, looking a little unnatural.

On the other side of the secret room, Hawke closed his eyes slightly and let out a long sigh: "Ancestor, is our family destined to follow the path of wizards?" It's a pity that this era ...... Alas, let's go to Hilton first. ”

……

At the top of the Subaru hills, at the back of the Subaru family's mansion, Loren lay relaxed in the grass, looking up at the stars that would disappear in two moments.

"There's no moon, I'm still a little unaccustomed." Loren sighed to herself.

"The moon? What's that? Rheinharut answered with amusement.

Only Loren himself knows.

Lorain has thirty years of memories from another world called Earth. According to that world, these memories come from Loraine's past life.

In his previous life, Loren was a hired killer who grew up in a killer organization, and every day he had to venture out on various murder missions until he missed a mission when he was thirty years old.

In his previous life, he didn't even know who his biological parents were, but in this life, he experienced for the first time what home was, and for the first time he felt that he could control his life. He loves the world, prefers the feeling of living in his family, and Hawke has given him a precious fatherly love that he has never experienced, and on this basis alone, he has vowed to help Hawke fulfill his dreams from the beginning of his understanding of this world.

"Little one, would you rather be in a daze than reply to me? Anyway, I'm connected to your soul, and I'll have to work together for a long time in the future. ”

"Soul Link?" Loren silently recited the words mentioned by Rheinharut, expressing confusion and confusion.

Before that, he had been planning to think about what his father said, "using the wizard way to help him become a knight". In the midst of Rheinharut's chatter, he realized that he had a big new problem in his head.

"That's right, this is an extremely mysterious magical phenomenon, that is, multiple souls are modified and processed through black magic, and finally an invisible bridge between souls and consciousness is constructed." Rheinharut pretended to pause and coughed lightly, "I guess you don't understand that." Well, I'll just say it succinctly. Now, our souls are one, our perceptions, memories and knowledge are interconnected, and so is life. ”

Rheinharut's sudden "popular science" made Loren not very different. You know, this old guy who broke into his head for an unknown amount of time was still talking in an extremely noble and arrogant posture a few hours ago.

What now? It was as if Rheinharut had suddenly changed someone, and Loren had just repeated a phrase, and he suddenly arose and began to babble on and on his own.

It's weird, but it's actually normal.

No matter how arrogant and powerful the existence is. Waiting alone for thousands of years in the form of a depressed soul is also lonely.

Only Rheinharut himself knows.

After his death, he sealed his remnants in this energy exploration crystal ball for more than 2,500 years, of which more than 700 years were submerged in the dust, more than 200 years were carried to various places on the mainland by various means of transportation, and he stayed in the corners of dim attics of all sizes for more than 500 years, and he was hidden in the secret room of the Subaru family for more than 1,000 years.

And how did he spend more than 2,500 years?

In order not to lose his remaining soul and forget who he really is, he recounted his various deeds, experiences, and remaining diverse knowledge to himself over and over again.

In short, for more than 2,500 years, Rheinharut has persevered until now by talking to himself.

More than 2,500 years!

After holding it for so long, there is finally a condition that can be met, so that his soul link is successful, and he can regain the function of communicating with other creatures!

In other words, Loren is the only person he can talk to and confide in after more than 2,500 years of loneliness.

If he could exist as a physical entity, he would definitely be arrogant and crying at this time.
