Chapter 419: Freeman's Twists and Turns
In the past 19 years of Freeman's life, it has always seemed like he was being fooled by fate.
Freeman was born in a small town near the Clouds, where his father was the only tailor in the town, and his mother was responsible for receiving guests and keeping records of requests in the tailor's shop.
For as long as Freeman can remember, he has always fantasized about being a proud knight, able to ride a white horse and wield a greatsword, and become the object of the girls' pursuit.
From the very beginning, however, fate seems to have been very fond of playing all sorts of jokes with Freeman.
When Freeman was twelve years old, he managed to convince his parents to let him enter the city to learn knightly skills in preparation for joining the four federal legions.
But Freeman, who came to the city, was sad to find that he had no sensitivity to fighting skills at all, and it was difficult to fully master almost all combat skills.
Freeman's dream was strangled in its cradle before it even began.
But just as Freeman was full of despair, a small-character first-order acceleration magic that he inadvertently came into contact with as an auxiliary effect was quickly mastered by Freeman.
Freeman, though not gifted as a warrior, has a sensitivity to magic.
Such a discovery naturally injected a ray of light into Freeman's gray sky again, and the world in front of Freeman's eyes seemed to suddenly open up again.
Although I can't ride a white horse, I am fortunate to be able to ride against the wind.
Although not as romantic and handsome as a knight, a noble mage is also an object of admiration.
Freeman seems to have foreseen how glorious it would be when he became a powerful spellcaster, and even the knights were not his enemies.
However, while Freeman was in a surging mood again, fate was still so gloomy, and he once again gave Freeman a second big gift that made Freeman beat his chest.
Not only is Freeman difficult to master, but he is also incomprehensible to all offensive magic.
Even those auxiliary magic, once placed on Freeman's body, can only exert its effect under non-combat effects, and once it is actually combat, it will be completely out of control.
Freeman seems to have a certain fear and powerlessness in his heart about the battle itself...... So no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't put his abilities into practice.
A mage who can't fight doesn't seem to have the slightest value at all.
At least in Freeman's own eyes back then, he was simply a waste of mages who couldn't use powerful magic to show his power.
As a result, Freeman's life, which had been bright again, was once again overshadowed by a huge shadow.
Fortunately, it was at this time that fate gave Freeman two blows, but it turned around and sent a new turn for Freeman.
The enrollment notice of the Northern Academy of Magic also quietly appeared in Freeman's eyes.
......
Freeman's talent for magic is actually very good, and while those spellcasters who are good at fighting are still struggling with how to advance, Freeman has successfully reached the pinnacle of the small print level.
Then, with the advantage of Qi energy strength, he was still admitted to the Northern Magic Academy without knowing how to fight at all.
However, what Freeman still doesn't know is that his exceptional admission is actually a certain attempt by the college's reformers, and it is the result of Lu Xi's insistence.
But no matter what the reason, Freeman had already successfully entered the Northern Academy at that time, and he was still exerting his Qi energy advanced speed, and in just over a year, he had become a full-fledged mage of the third order of the middle character level.
If it is only from this point of view at this time, it seems that Freeman has once again embarked on the right track in life, and has once again become an admirable existence.
However, to Freeman's dismay, his reputation as a waste mage was too loud in his hometown.
His original attempt to attract girls by becoming a mage has become a completely unattainable fantasy, and Freeman can no longer win the favor of the girls in his hometown.
And it was at this time that the disheartened Freeman stumbled upon the peculiar restaurant and heard about the legendary life of the owner.
A person who obviously has no strength at all, but he made such a shocking move, which undoubtedly gave Freeman the courage to continue living again.
Even from this point on, Freeman fell completely in love with the woman who was more than ten years older than himself.
In fact, Freeman at that time did not have a complete confession to Su Mu, and the reason why he was so poor was not just because of the study of alchemy.
It's also because of ...... Freeman had spent a lot of money to attract friends and friends to try to make Tina's restaurant business more prosperous and her life more comfortable.
But the end of this is that Freeman even forgot to reserve his last meal money, so that in the end, he could only rely on Su Mu and his party to help him.
......
However, the third turning point in Freeman's life was precisely because of his dead face.
Freeman never dreamed that the group of three people he had accidentally encountered on the gallop road would have the brightest star of the Federation today.
The moment he guessed Su Mu's identity, Freeman simply felt that he was the luckiest person in this world.
And what happened next made Freeman not only shocked, but also a deep sense of ecstasy from the bottom of his heart.
What Freeman cared about most about Tina, Su Mu actually cared more about than Freeman.
Even after that, Su Mu directly said that he would invest in Tina's restaurant, so that she could directly open her restaurant in the expensive Yunshang District, or even on the most prosperous Yunbin Avenue.
When he heard these news clearly flowing from Su Mu's mouth, Freeman couldn't believe his ears, he really brought such a big change to Tina.
However, at the same time as Freeman's ecstasy, Su Mu, who had once again been plated with layers of halo in Freeman's heart, looked at him with a chuckle, and then said the conclusion that made Freeman fall apart:
There was once a top alchemy workshop in the Federation that had extended the most sincere invitation to Freeman, but Freeman did not choose to cherish it.
And when Freeman loses everything, he regrets it.
And even if Freeman himself wanted to join in again at this time, Su Mu only gave him a distant deadline...... He must give priority to helping Tina open a good restaurant before he can be accepted by Su Mu again!
But even if the story ends here, it is not the end of Freeman's sadness.
When Su Mu included Tina in his inner circle in advance, and held the first intra-group meeting of Su Mu's return to the Federation together, a new task was also passed on to Freeman's eyes through Tina.
"Your Excellency Su Mu said that you have two choices, either you can complete the task he has given you now, and then you can directly join the alchemy laboratory under his command, or you must help me completely open the restaurant before he will consider whether to accept your request to join again. ”
Tina was a little amused, looking at the boy in front of her who was ten years younger than herself, but in her heart she admired Su Mu, who was younger than Freeman.
In fact, Su Mu was not deliberately embarrassing Freeman from the beginning.
Freeman's upbringing was indeed too simple, which caused Freeman's immaturity in dealing with people.
And Su Mu's series of behaviors are undoubtedly to force Freeman to grow up quickly and grow into a subordinate who can be trusted by Su Mu.
Freeman looked at Tina with some trepidation, and asked cautiously:
"What kind of task?"
Tina smiled slightly when she heard this, but her smile was already unconsciously infected with Su Mu's bad taste.
Then a rather headache for Freeman's order, but it was only then that it was clearly transmitted to Freeman's eyes, which made him extremely embarrassed by this choice:
"His Excellency Su Mu said that he now needs to get in touch with the people who collected the protection money that day. Therefore, no matter what method you use, as long as you can successfully bring the other party to His Excellency Su Mu, His Excellency Su Mu will immediately let you join the Alchemy Workshop. And there are no other shortcuts!"
