Chapter 1175: The Past
"Why are you clinging to a ridiculous dagger, is a mere morning-star magical equipment worth your life as a madman?"
It was a question that had been asked by several people, and in fact, until he closed his eyes forever, Dead Windlamp remembered a question that his beloved Sunburst powerhouse, Mr. Blackjack, uttered in an almost roaring tone.
Morningstar professionals have a vivid memory, so Walkway remembers it well...... He remembered that Kane, the Morning Star Knight who had saved his life, had a similar question, and although his "old enemy" spellcaster's question was not explicitly stated, it was not difficult to see from the strong sarcasm of the other party's expression.
Even in the deepest part of his heart, this question Walkway once asked himself with great solemnity.
However...... This is an unsolvable problem.
No matter who asked, with what attitude, or for what purpose, the mad mage who could not clear his mind could not always give a clear answer.
Blade of Cythis......... Who knows what this dagger represents to the crazy "Dead Text Wind Lantern"? With the blowing of endless years, even Mr. Zuo himself may not be able to judge what kind of weight it occupies in his heart.
But what Walkway can be sure of is that it is no longer just a weapon or tool used for fighting, it also represents an unforgettable "past" that a Morning Star powerhouse cannot let go of after thousands of years of wind and frost, it represents the most important obsession of an "old immortal" magician, and it also represents the source of self-consciousness of a psychotic and murderer............
It is often said that "opening up the future" is the most difficult thing in the world to do, but for some persistent people, forgetting the past, which is a mixture of "the most perfect happiness" and "the heaviest sorrow", "may be the truly desperate road to heaven."
————— Dividing Line———————
Walkway-Zuomi was born into a rural aristocratic family on the Feron plane............ A lame old horse, a pair of scarred armor, a longsword with a curly blade, and two village fiefs—these are usually all the possessions of a standard "country nobleman", and Walkerway's childhood family situation is often only less than this "standard asset" and no more than that.
And because of the existence of an alcoholic father who only eats, drinks and has fun all day long, little Walkway has not even experienced hunger in the days when he was a "young master of a noble family".
It must be admitted that this kind of poor life is unbearable for anyone, let alone a fledgling young man who has not imagined that he can go out, get rid of poverty and ignorance, and start a great career?
So it was natural that Walkerway, who had entered his youth, had the naïve idea of "stepping into high society" and becoming a real nobleman on the first day he had the strength to wield an iron sword.
Of course, in terms of "ideas" alone, Walkerway's thoughts at that time were actually no different from the fantasies of many of his peers, but compared to those "dreamers" who would only lie in bed and fall asleep, this resolute aristocratic young master was a very rare "brave man" who dared to put his dreams into action.
Because he really rode a sika deer caught from the mountains and forests, he did not hesitate to embark on the journey to the big city!
I believe that for most of the little nobles who have never left their place of birth in their lives, a "reckless" guy like Walkway is definitely a "wonderful" existence that they can't understand at all.........
However, even if you are determined and have a clear intention, it is always not easy to start your dream.
According to the unspoken rules of the small kingdom where Walkway was located at that time, if a small noble heir like him wanted to enter the real "high society", he must first start as a low-status aristocratic servant, and even if he was willing to spend more than ten years of good youth to become a noble servant equivalent to working for nothing, whether there was a "big nobleman" willing to allow a "undignified countryman" like him to enter the house was still a question.
So in the period when he first came to the big city, the innocent "noble young master" who had no way to ask for help from "distant relatives of distant relatives" was even almost starved to death on the cold streets, if it weren't for a kind and beautiful big family girl who saved the dying Walkerway's life, the future Morning Star Archmage "Dead Wind Lantern" would have ceased to exist.
Of course, those are all later, in fact, Walkway at that time was very grateful to his life-saving benefactor, after all, on that day, on the luckiest day in the life of the "Dead Text Lantern", he not only met a beautiful girl as holy as an angel, but he also successfully got a valuable job as a "noble servant", and the object of his service was the daughter of the great aristocratic family who brought light to him in the cold wind - Cytis-Holcla!
It is worth mentioning that there is no complicated reason why Cythus rescued a homeless boy at that time and insisted on keeping him as her servant, although all her motives are inseparable from the "kindness", but the main reason is ...... Walkway in his youth was too handsome.
No matter how much the daughter is a human being, everyone has a love for beauty.
Think about it, if a girl who is at the beginning of her love meets a beautiful boy who is "as handsome as winter snow" when she goes shopping, then she has no reason not to look twice, right?
Since you've seen it all, it's logical to save it, isn't it?
Now that I've saved everything, it seems good to stay and be an eye-catching servant if I think about it.........
So because of the natural and normal decision of the girl Celtis, the young Walkway was able to successfully escape from the clutches of death and take the first step on the road to his dream!
Not only did he become a noble servant with a stable life, but he even got a chance to become a professional - after all, only professionals are the real masters in this world, in order to maintain the prosperity of the family, usually the heirs of large noble families will accept the teaching of some professional regardless of whether they are gifted or not, and the girl who rescued Walkway at that time, Cytis, was in the youth stage of receiving spellcaster education and preparing for the professional level.
