Chapter 56: Silver and Sinclair
The old man put down the flower scissors in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the two people outside the door, "Is there anything you need help with?"
Luo Luo nodded, took out a rolled oilcloth from his bag, and opened it, revealing the two severed swords inside, "Excuse me, can you help me reforge this sword?"
The old man raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, but then he shook his head and said, "Where did you get the news, I stopped forging swords a long time ago......"
The old man was halfway through his words, and his eyes skimmed over the small elven text on the sword body, but he suddenly stopped, and his tone was surprised, "You guys who saved Lulu in Ryan?"
"We only did a small favor. Rob began.
"You guys are too polite, it's all my fault, I spoiled that child too much since I was a child, so that she developed that kind of temperament, it's good to have her father and I take care of it here, it's good to go out and get into trouble sooner or later, if it weren't for your help, that group of children would probably suffer a big loss in Ryan." The old man was very enthusiastic after learning the identities of the two, "I heard from the kid about you, you are here for the sword, go into the house, and we will talk slowly." ”
The old man opened the door, ushered the two into the living room, boiled hot water, made a pot of rose tea, cut the fruit, and then sat down on the sofa opposite the two.
"Lulu would be glad to know you're coming, but she's gone crazy with the Blasto kids, and it's probably sunset before she's back. The old man poured flower tea for the two of them.
Luo Luo took the flower tea, smelled the fragrance of roses, and the girl thanked her.
This small building does not occupy a large area, but the decoration inside is very elegant, and it can be seen that the living conditions of the family are good, but now there is only the old man inside.
The old man seemed to know what the two were thinking, and Luo Luo noticed the portrait on the wall, and took the initiative to explain, "Oh, that's my husband, he just passed away five years ago, and I also have a son, who now works in the city council, and usually has a straight face, and is meticulous in everything, probably because of this reason he will divorce, alas, that stupid guy doesn't know that women are to be coaxed, and it is not okay if a man's mouth is not sweet...... And I have a granddaughter, whom you've already met at Ryan. ”
The old man paused, "Because this place is for the three of us, so I don't hire a servant, usually I will prune the flowers and trees, tidy up the house, and have something to do." ”
Rob said, "Listen to your accent, it looks like someone from the Holy Alliance. ”
Hearing this, the old man's eyes showed a look of remembrance, "Yes, I lived there for a while when I was a child, and then followed my husband to Kaiyan City and settled here. ”
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister felt a stir in his heart, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of living, which city of the Holy Alliance did you live in before, and when did you leave there?"
"I lived with my father in Port Setvia when I was a kid and left there probably after ...... Well, I think about it, when I was eleven years old, I still remember the sunset on the pier, the sunset falling into the sea, the returning fishing boats, and the fishing songs humming by the fishermen on board...... "My father disappeared when I was seven years old, but he also went out a lot before he disappeared, and he didn't come home for months, and it was the neighbor's uncle who took care of me. ”
"When it's time to eat, I will knock on the door next door, sometimes he is afraid that I will be hungry when I am not at home, and he will take me with him when he goes out to talk about business, so I will sit obediently on the side, play with the toys I brought, and when he is done talking to others, we will go to a small restaurant nearby to have a hot dinner together...... No one knew about the relationship except us, until later, when my father left home in a hurry as usual, without saying anything, and I thought he would disappear for a while and come back, as he had done the previous times, but it turned out to be the last time I saw him. ”
The old man sighed, " I was very panicked after my father's disappearance, although I was used to him leaving from time to time, but I didn't think that he would completely disappear from my life, and in my most difficult time, it was the neighbor's uncle who spent it with me, and it was then that I realized that I couldn't leave him without realizing it, but according to the laws of the Holy Alliance, once my father disappeared for more than a period of time, my custody would automatically transfer to other relatives, but my father never took me to see his distant cousins, I didn't want to live with strangers I didn't know, and I didn't want to be separated from my uncle, so I threatened him with suicide, that guy, everything, but my heart was too soft, so I found a way to fake the identity of my distant cousin and adopted me. ”
"Because we were afraid that someone else would find out, we sold our property and took a carriage ride for four months to Kaiyan City, where no one knows us, and we can start a new life, on my seventeenth birthday night, he was drunk by me, and became my husband in a daze, and in the thirty-seven years with him, we have had quarrels and conflicts, but now looking back, every day seems to be very happy, well, meeting him is the happiest thing in my life. ”
The old man stretched out his wrinkled hand and stroked the portrait on the wall, the man on the portrait smiled very shyly, and the old man said softly, "I'm sorry, I talked too much about myself, and when people get old, they can't help but become chattering." ”
Lolo and Rob glanced at each other, they already knew the old man's identity.
Silver, the daughter of Constantine, once the best weaponsmith on the Dawn Continent, may be the only one who can reforge the elven sword that has been reduced to pieces.
When Constantine handed over Starfall to Rob, he asked the latter to help him find his daughter he hadn't seen for fifty years, and Rob went to Port Setvia and then to Raven according to the address he gave, but unfortunately they all failed, and then had to ask Ginny to investigate the adopter named Sinclair, but to no avail.
Now it seems that they had gone in the wrong direction from the beginning, and the person who actually took Silver was close at hand, only a wall away from her.
The old man was a little puzzled when he saw the two of them looking at each other, "Why, have we met before?" but then she quickly denied it, "No, it can't be, you are too young, you were not born when I left Setvia." ”
Rob remembers Konstantin's request not to reveal anything related to him if he finds out that the other party is doing well after finding Silver.
So the future Celestial Magister just smiled, "Do you still hate your father who didn't say goodbye?"
"I did hate him at first, but after seeing that man, I stopped hating him, and now I have figured it out, although that guy is unreliable, it is my father after all, and if it wasn't for some unavoidable hardship, he probably wouldn't have left me alone. ”
