Chapter 3: Lost Origin
Hain's sudden strange request made the attendant stunned.
"See him, this ......," the attendant said with great embarrassment, "but the big boss is still waiting for you......"
"I'll explain it to them. Hain stepped forward, his tone undeniable, "Let's go." ”
"Oh......" The attendant nodded in amazement, and led him around the main courtyard, through the back door, and onto a path up the mountain.
Hain looked at the top of the trail and saw a dilapidated courtyard faintly visible halfway up the mountainside, and couldn't help but say, "Why is your equipment maintenance department located on the mountain? Isn't this very inconvenient?"
"No, it's not that the equipment maintenance department is in the mountains, it's just that Starrail lives there. The attendant said, "He is only responsible for a part of the department. ”
"Where do you live alone?" Hain's eyes narrowed, "That architectural style, it used to be a training ground, right?"
"Yes. The attendant said: "It was originally the training ground of the Witt family, but it was later converted into a warehouse, and then it was ......."
When the attendant said this, he seemed to realize that he should not say more, and immediately closed his mouth.
"What happened?" Hain asked.
"This ......," the attendant looked embarrassed, "I can't say ......"
Hain's expression was calm, and he suddenly threw a silver coin in his hand.
The attendant's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly caught it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master! Star Rail, this kid, his identity is a little ......."
As he spoke, his eyes swept around, as if he was quite afraid, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered, "His mother is the daughter of our old patriarch. ”
Hain's eyes were surprised, and he couldn't help but say, "The daughter of the patriarch, then why does her child not even have a name, so she needs to use a pronoun?"
"Because she was pregnant out of wedlock. The attendant whispered, "Our patriarch is naturally furious and wants to find out who spoils his daughter's reputation, but she doesn't want to say who did it anyway. The patriarch wanted her to kill the child, but she was forced to die, and in a fit of rage, he broke off the father-daughter relationship with her and expelled her to the warehouse in the middle of the mountain. ”
Hain couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "So, even her child can't have a name?"
The attendant sighed: "What our old patriarch values most in this life is the face of the family, how can he accept this kind of thing, if it weren't for the deep affection between the three masters and her brother and sister, and they have been secretly caring, I even doubt that the star track can be born into this world." ”
Hain pinched his chin after hearing this, and groaned slightly, "Born out of wedlock, was basically given up by the family......"
"Alas, this child's background is also quite pitiful. The attendant said: "Originally, he was a child of a big family, but now he has the same status as us servants, and may not even be as good as it." If it weren't for the fact that he had learned some techniques for burning magic circuits during his disappearance, I am afraid that he would only be able to do some menial work and be called around by people now. ”
"Missing?" Hain's eyes lit up, "He's missing?"
"yes. The attendant said: "Star Rail disappeared inexplicably when he was five years old, his mother was so grief-stricken that she even went to ask her father, but it is said that the old patriarch was completely unwilling to help, and then the three masters sent someone to look for it for a long time, but unfortunately there were no clues." His mother, who was already in poor health, became ill and died after two years of depression. ”
"And how did he get back?" Hain asked.
"He disappeared for almost three years and then came back on his own. When the attendant said this, his expression was also quite amazing, "It's hard to imagine that such a young child can actually find here, I was also present at the time, and he gave me a ...... feeling."
He stopped talking, as if he couldn't find an adjective.
"What does it feel?" Hain asked.
"It's very peculiar, I don't know how to describe it. The attendant scratched his head embarrassedly, "It feels like he's a different person, and his temperament doesn't look like a child at all." When we asked him what had happened, he kept silent, and he cried a lot when he found out that his mother had died, and he has lived there ever since. ”
Hai En was quite emotional when he heard this, looked at the small courtyard that was close in front of him, and said with emotion: "His life is so bumpy, he must be very withdrawn......"
"Not really. The attendant said, "He gets along well with us people, and he doesn't see the slightest loneliness." ”
"Really?" Hain raised his eyebrows, more curious about the intricate young man.
When the two came to the path of the courtyard, they saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and there were bright lights shining inside.
"I have something to talk to him about, you can just wait for me here. Hain didn't seem to intend to let the squire follow, and the squire was also very clever, nodded in agreement, and stopped his steps.
Hain strode into the small courtyard, only to see that although the courtyard was small, it was clean and tidy, and it was extremely refreshing.
Under the wall on the east side of the courtyard, there is a stone table and several stone chairs, which are simple and simple.
At the stone table, a young man stood straight.
The bright light shone on him, pulling out a long shadow, and his long golden hair shone brightly, reflecting his shining golden pupils.
Hain stared at him, and the moment he saw the golden pupils, he felt that the stars in the sky seemed to be less than the light in his eyes.
Hain's expression changed slightly, and in an instant, an indescribable feeling surged from the bottom of his heart.
"Welcome, Master Hayne. Star Rail smiled faintly, with a confident look that made Hain unpredictable.
"You know I'm coming?" Hain was surprised.
"Do you think your arrival is just a coincidence?" said Star Rail.
As soon as Star Rail's words came out, Hain's expression changed sharply, and he frowned: "Why do you say that?"
Star Rail smiled faintly, tapped on the stone table, and said, "The magic guide lamps in the main courtyard are all maintained by me, and it is very simple to do something from them." Master Hain must know that light induces, right?"
Hain's expression changed several times, recalling the scene he observed when he entered the main courtyard of the Witt family, and suddenly said, "You used the light gradient to make me focus on that magic guide lamp?"
"It's just a small insect carving technique, usually only as a starting step of visual illusion, although I don't know how to do illusion, but it is still very simple to achieve this small step. Star Rail looked at Hain, and his gaze made Hain feel deeper and deeper.
"So, the anomaly of the magic guide lamp was also intentional on purpose?" Hain said.
Star Rail smiled: "With Master Haien's eyesight, I can naturally see that the light of that lamp has an unreasonable lighting situation. ”
That's why I took it down and looked at it. Hain's eyes narrowed, "I thought it was a problem with the mana source, but I didn't expect to find a surprising situation......"
The corners of Star Rail's mouth raised slightly, but he didn't speak.
Hain knew that everything was expected by him.
"You ......," Hain muttered, "who the hell is it?"
