Although he has been away from home for ten years, Rob's impression of his hometown is still very clear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the Royal Academy of Magic and Magic of Thistle, the column about his hometown in his file is filled in with the Free City-State's Sword Bend Harbor, which is one of the largest seaside cities in the Free City-State, and the Brado Harbor is two and a half times more prosperous than the Upper Two-and-a-half-Ports. But in fact, Rob's hometown is 108,000 miles away from Jianwan Port, and there is no half-dime relationship at all.

The boy actually comes from a small town called Ryan, in the northeast of the Duchy of Andera, a medium-sized country affiliated with the Holy Alliance, founded less than a hundred years ago, and the current ruler is Tomman III, known as the Duke of Bauhinia.

Rob didn't lie about it out of vanity, thinking that a town like Ryan didn't sound as face-saving as a big city like Swordbend Harbor. Anyway, he was just a poor student who couldn't pay the tuition fees at that time, and no matter what city he came from, he couldn't change this ironclad fact.

If you have to say it, the boy just subconsciously doesn't want to involve Ryan, in his memory Ryan is a beautiful and quiet town, because it is adjacent to the endless sea of trees and far away from the war, the residents of the town are honest and simple, the only specialty is sugar, although the economy is backward, the location is closed, but everyone always has a smile on their faces, they will greet each other when they meet, and their mouths say something like "Hahaha, today's weather is good" or "You look good" During the harvest season, they will take out the things in their fields and share them with everyone.

Over the years, the most powerful person in the town is probably the second son of the mayor, a first-order trainee knight, he was the dream lover of all the girls in Ryan at that time, the idol of the boys, and it is said that he was recruited into the Reserve Knights, went to the national capital, met the Duke of Bauhinia, and even spoke to the duke.

At a military parade, the duke wanted to relieve himself but couldn't find a place, so he was very anxious, so he asked the young man standing guard on the side, "Child, where is the latrine?" ”

"There were so many people present at that time, but the Duke chose my son! This shows that at a critical juncture, the Duke knows in his heart who he should trust the most!!

The mayor explained this matter in this way, and sometimes when he talked about the excitement, he would ask the apprentice knight to stretch out his hand and shout, "Come, come, let everyone see, this is the way for the Duke." ”

At this time, the apprentice knight will often blush, and whisper begging, "Dad, don't ...... Stop it. ”

Yes, Ryan is such an ordinary little place, where people live ordinary lives, and magic seems to be far away from them. The vast majority of people have never seen a magician or other high-level professional in their entire lives.

Well, if you go back to Ryan, as long as you keep a low profile, you should be able to live incognito and live like an ordinary person.

Perhaps at that time, the boy had foreseen his tragic future in the future, and in order to leave a way back for himself, he secretly concealed his hometown.

The reason why he chose Sword Bend Harbor is because Rob was on his way to the Royal Academy of Magic in Tiester with a small merchant from a free city-state, and the small merchant told him about the prosperity of Sword Bend Harbor, and then described to him many customs and customs of Sword Bend Harbor, and the clever young man not only wrote them all down, but also imitated the small merchant's accent.

Therefore, he said that he was an orphan from the port of Sword Bend, and no one ever doubted it.

In the entire continent, no one knows that he is actually from the small town called Ryan in the northeast of the Duchy of Andella, and in that place, there are still his relatives.

For the man he called his father, the teenager's feelings have always been a little complicated.

Rob's father was not a native of the town, he was a brave man before, well, this profession is sometimes called differently in different places, and some people will call them adventurers or mercenaries, in short, a group of guys who travel the world and help others solve problems and occasionally cause some trouble themselves.

In terms of strength, it's uneven, but there are some very powerful guys among them, but most of them are not much stronger than ordinary people.

But their life is quite chic~

The standard life of a brave man is roughly as follows: Sleep until you wake up naturally every day - Go to the guild with the groggy head you drank last night to accept the entrusted task - Have a good drink before you go!- Complete the task or burp - Use the money you earn to go back to the tavern and continue to have a good drink! (If you have a life to come back) - Sleep until you wake up the next day.

Basically, it's just repeating the above cycle over and over again, and it doesn't have anything to do with health or health anyway.

Rob's father had lived a similar life of drunkenness and death until he got separated from his companions while carrying out a commission, and accidentally ran to Ryan, where he met a beautiful and kind girl.

Old Rex suddenly found that he couldn't seem to run, and the ale in his hand was not as energetic as before.

So he went back to the town called Ryan, and with the beautiful girl, he divided the little attic where they lived into two parts, and he changed the first floor facing the street into a small door, and opened a grocery store called "The Two of Us".

A year later, they gave birth to a little boy named Rob.

So the grocery house got a new name.

Rob often wonders how good it would be if the original story went on like this.

The family of three lived happily ever after in this peaceful and beautiful town, and for that he would rather give up everything he had now, what future super-magician, the hope of humanity, the most gifted magician of all time, these things he had never really cared about.

The boy clenched his fists, blaming the man for all this.

When Rob was six years old, the elder Rex somehow became hooked on gambling.

At first, it was just a small fight, but later his gambling addiction became bigger and bigger, not only lost all the money he had saved by opening a grocery store over the years, but also owed a lot of debt.

Mom quarreled with him every day for this, one night it was raining heavily, the angry mother slammed the door and ran to the outskirts of the town alone, when she was a child, her grandfather told her that if there is something unhappy that you can't tell others, just tell the tree hole, and your heart will feel better after speaking.

She never came back, and when she passed a dangerous bridge, the bridge suddenly collapsed, and the next day people found her downstream, no longer breathing.

Rob cried all night when his mother was buried, he had never hated a person so much, and the boy felt that such a thing happened because of that man, and it was because of his willful bad habits that his mother left this world.

Since then, the boy hasn't spoken a word to the man.

And after the death of his wife, the man also seemed to give up on himself, gambling more fiercely, and when he had no money, he picked up his old business again and took on some dangerous tasks.

Every time he went out, the boy wished he could die like this.

But unfortunately his wish was not heard by the gods in heaven.

No matter how dangerous the commission, old Rex could come back alive, no matter how serious the injury, there were times when he looked like he might choke at any moment, but he could be alive again after lying in bed for four or five days.

Is this the legendary good man who does not live long and will be left behind for thousands of years?

The teenager felt more hopeless than ever.

It wasn't until Rob's eighth birthday that Old Rex called him to his side, pulled out a purse from close to his chest, and handed it to him.

"I know you've always wanted to escape from this home, so go to the Royal Academy of Magic and Magic of Thistle, I asked a friend to visit you when you were born, and he said that you have the potential to become a magician, and since that day, I have been saving money for you, one gold coin a year, and this year is just enough for your year's tuition, but you need to figure out how to pay for the passage and food. ”

Rob opened his purse, and there were eight glittering gold coins lying inside.

The boy knew that his family's grocery store would earn six silver coins a year if business was good.

In other words, these eight gold coins are undoubtedly a huge amount of money for their family.

But how did he make so much money quietly?

The boy remembered the dangerous tasks the man had taken on in those years, how many times he had stumbled home covered in blood, crawling desperately into bed like a dead dog, and making difficult breathing noises in the middle of the night, Rob finally understood what kept him up and refused to close his eyes.

Silently feeling the lingering warmth on the eight gold coins, Rob fell silent.

Old Rex is addicted to gambling, and when he is in a hurry to gamble, he can even bet on his underwear, and beg his grandfather to ask his grandmother for money everywhere, the boy never thought that he always carried such a huge sum of money in his arms, even when the gambling addiction was at its worst, Old Rex never thought of using the money.

No, it should be said that he did not even have such a thought.

"Take care. Before leaving, the boy finally spoke to the man again, and after a few steps he turned back, hesitated and added in a somewhat stiff tone, "Wait for me to come back, Dad." ”
