The innkeeper Matt still remembered Ellett, and he was even more impressed by Link, and when he saw Ellett ask, he shrugged his shoulders: "Room?" There is no room. Mr. Link has been living in the attic since you left. ”

What the? Attic!

Ellett's heart skipped a beat, he endured not showing it, and continued to ask, "How does he live in the attic?" ”

"I don't have any money." Matt said as a matter of course: "Some time ago, he still ate coarse bread every day, two a day, one at noon and one at night. He seems to have made some money lately, but it shouldn't be much. He's in the attic most of the time, and if you're looking for him, he's upstairs right now. ”

Hearing this, Ellett's heart jumped again, he knew that after Link gave him 1300 gold coins, he should not have much money left, but he didn't expect him to be so embarrassed.

But why didn't he say it? In the letter, he either talked about the beauty of Gwent Forest, or asked about magic, and said nothing about his own predicament.

Why would he do this? Illett couldn't tell what it was, he thanked Matt and walked up the stairs in front of everyone in the lobby of the inn.

In the process, he heard the chatter in the hall.

"That's the real magician, and he's coming to Link?"

"Could Link really be a magician?"

"Wouldn't it? He dresses so shabby, and the place where he eats and lives is not as good as mine, can he be a magician? ”

These voices just verified the boss's words, and Ellett's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and he felt that his eyes were a little sour, and he was very uncomfortable, it must be that there was too much dust in the inn, and his eyes were lost.

Walk up the wooden staircase to the third floor, and at the corner of the corner, you will find the attic of the inn.

The attic was dimly lit, the stairs were dusty, and the door to the attic room was low and narrow, and as Ellett stood in the doorway, he felt more and more cramped.

He had been in the tall and spacious magic tower for a long time, and it was a little difficult to adapt to this ordinary dwelling when he returned to it.

"Tuk tuk tuk", raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, and Erette tried to calm his mood and try to calm himself down.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." There was a familiar voice in the room, the tone was familiar, still calm and gentle, like a quiet lake under the starlight.

Ellett pushed the door open, and then he saw a back figure bathed in sunlight.

Golden sunlight shone in through the small attic window, revealing a golden pillar of light in the dimly lit room, which shone right on the thin body.

The emaciated master, sitting in a lame chair with a quill in his hand, was hunched down on an old, lacquered table with a mottled finish, and in the corner of the table lay several magic books and a stack of sheepskin scrolls.

Ellett turned his head to look to the right, and saw a bed on the floor, and in the corner of the wall, there was a large spider's web, in which the spider, which had been fat, hung leisurely, and it seemed to be completely unafraid of being disturbed. In the corner of the wall, he also found a large gap, although the gap was blocked by a rag, but it was not tightly blocked, and the cold wind still blew in.

Simple, shabby, slum-like accommodation, Elite had been a wandering orphan before, and had experienced such a life, but he didn't expect that Link, the son of a nobleman, would be living such a life.

Because Ellett has experienced it, he empathizes with Link's situation!

Heartache, shame, gratitude, all kinds of emotions surged into Ellett's heart, and turned into a hot current rushing to his eyes, his eyes were red, and there were tears to rush out, Ellett immediately raised his head and did not let the tears flow.

When he was 8 years old, he was bullied by several children of his age on the street, and he cried at that time, but he was an orphan, no one would come out to comfort him, and his crying was exchanged for endless ridicule and ridicule, and since then, he has sworn that he will never shed tears again in his life.

But at this time, he couldn't help it.

The other party is the son of a nobleman, he originally had more than 1,300 gold coins on him, and he could live a very nourishing life in River Valley Town, but in order to make up for his admission tuition, he actually lived such a hard life, how could he be embarrassed?

What made Elette even more ashamed was that the other party never told him that when he was studying magic in the magic tower, Link did not mention a little bit of his difficult life, and kept comforting him, telling him to concentrate on learning magic and not be distracted, and he didn't even notice all this.

"Link?" Elite struggled to calm herself down and let out a soft scream.

The thin figure paused, the quill in his hand stopped, and then he turned around and looked at him with a surprised expression: "Ellett, why are you here?" ”

He had lost weight, a great thinner than he had been a month ago, his eyes had grown much larger, his eyes were still dull, and the rough and thin linen robe on his body hung loosely on him.

Ellett's heart was sour, this time she finally couldn't hold back, her eyes were red, and tears flowed out: "Why didn't you tell me?!" ”

Link was also taken aback when he saw Ellett's appearance, how could this half-elf have such rich feelings, a big man, how could he cry when he cried?

However, he recalled the memories of the game in his previous life and found that the other party seemed to be such an emotional character.

In the previous life game, Elette cried three times, once for his wife who was killed by a demon, once for his fallen comrades, and once for seeing the countless refugees fleeing from the north.

This guy is so emotional.

After thinking about it, Link also knew why the other party behaved like this, and laughed: "Do you blame me for not telling you such a simple condition?" ”

Ellett nodded, he had a good life in the Academy of Magic, and as long as he worked hard, he could earn some gold. This month, even if he didn't spend much time writing magic scrolls, he saved 15 gold coins, and those classmates, some of whom were diligent, could even earn more than 50 gold coins a month!

As long as Link told him about it, he didn't have to be so miserable.

Link laughed, shook his head, and said, "My friend, I'm actually doing pretty well. You see, from the window, you can see the beautiful Gwent Forest. If you listen carefully, is there no sound, and it is very quiet? If you think about it, I don't have any money on me, and I don't have any shabby clothes, so no one can interfere with my ideas, and no one will bother me from studying magic and writing papers, what a rare thing? ”

In this way, Ellett seems to feel a little reasonable, but he always feels that something is still wrong.

"No, but. You know, my dream is to pursue magic, and everything else, it doesn't matter. Link smiled, and this smile was very sunny, dispelling the guilt and gloom in Ellett's heart.

Well, when Link said this, Ellett felt a lot better, but everything he saw today was deeply rooted in his heart.

He knew that there was such a person in this world, in order for him to learn magic, he did not hesitate to give up all decency and dignity, did not hesitate to be ridiculed by ordinary people, and did not hesitate to live a beggar-like life.

In his heart, this man was already his brother, and he could sacrifice everything for it if needed.

"Are you free now? How about we go to the lobby for a drink? Elette wiped her eyes and cleaned up.

"Of course, no problem, you wait for me to sort out the scroll." Link laughed.

After packing up their things, the two of them went to the hall.

"Matt, serve the best dish, the best ale." Ellett shouted.

"No problem." Matt narrowed his eyes with a smile.

When the wine and food came up, the two chatted while eating.

Link and Elette talk about the progress of some papers, or discuss magical issues, and Elite and Link talk about what he has seen and heard at the Academy of Magic, and occasionally some anecdotes circulating in the Academy.

The two chatted very speculatively, and before they knew it, a dozen glasses of ale were down, and Elette was obviously not good at drinking, and he had already begun to talk nonsense, but Link's body was not bad, and he basically remained sober.

Drunk, Ellett behaved very strangely, crying and laughing, Link couldn't cry or laugh, called the innkeeper, and asked Ellet to move Ellet to the inn room to rest.

"No, no, let's go, I'm going to sleep in the attic!" Ellett insisted on going to the attic.

Link had no choice but to follow him, and finally added a bed in the attic, so that Elette could sleep, as for himself, he was tossed by Ellett like this, he sweated a little, and the slight alcohol was gone.

When they went out and said hello to the coachman of the magic academy, they said that they were supposed to rest in town for the night, and that they would leave tomorrow, and Link would return to the attic with peace of mind.

There were scrolls and magic books sent by Elite in the attic, and after a glance, Link was fascinated by the magic books, which were high-level magic books, and they were the knowledge he desperately needed!

The title of this magic book is "The Advancement of Magic", which mainly introduces the magic structure of Level 1 magic, and gives a general description of the path of advanced magic, Link probably flipped through it, and found that it contains a detailed description of the structure of the rune aura!

"What a good book!" Link was fascinated by it, and then forgot about the passage of time.

I don't know how long it was, but a voice came from behind me: "What time is it?" ”

Ellette woke up.

Link woke up and looked at his pocket watch: "It's past seven o'clock in the evening." ”

He felt a little hungry.

"I'm going to get something to eat." Ellett was also hungry, so he went out of the attic, and after five or six minutes, came up with a large plate of cheese.

The two of them began to eat, and while they ate, Link looked at the magic book, and he carefully flipped through the pages to keep the stain from getting it, while Ellett casually flipped through Link's papers.

When he was done eating, Link continued to read the magic book, and Ellett's soul had been lost in the paper, and he muttered, "It's so subtle!" How is this possible? Hmm, can it still be deduced like that? ”

He was completely hooked.
