Why was he stopped by the beggar?

Why do you say again?

Forget it, it's a good deed. This carriage was rented by Luo Xiaotian, and Luo Xiaotian discharged two silver coins from the pocket where the change was placed and handed them to the coachman.

"Give him these two coins. ”

"Yes sir. ”

Looking out of the window in front of the carriage, the coachman threw out two silver coins, which rolled for a while, and then stopped in front of the beggar who stood in front of the carriage.

The beggar, whose face could not be seen clearly, quickly put away the two silver coins and put them in his pocket, carefully observing his surroundings as he put them away, like a wolf protecting his food.

"I'm not a beggar, Ronald, I'm Marcus, Marcus!!"

......

A beggar sitting on his knees... Oh no, it should be that Marcus was kneeling on the ground in rags, and his originally handsome face was covered with dust, and he could no longer see the color of his original skin.

Approaching Marcus, a foul smell came from his body, making Luo Xiaotian involuntarily take another step back.

"How did you become like this, what happened?"

"Ronald... The two gold coins you gave me earlier... Snatched by those damn beggars! They wanted me to be a beggar too! At first I refused, but... But ah, if I don't listen to them, they're going to break my legs! I managed to get out of the commotion here, and then I'm waiting for you here while I dodge the damned beggars! Finally, I'm finally waiting for you, Ronald!"

... Seeing Marcus looking so miserable, even Luo Xiaotian began to feel unbearable.

“... Do you still want to see Alice?"

"Alice... Yes, I'm going to see Alice anyway!"

"Okay, I'll take you for a ride today... Before you do, though, you'll need to find a place to take a shower. ”

......

After changing the water in the bathtub three times, the original aristocratic son Marcus came back, but after putting on the robe that Luo Xiaotian lent him, he looked a little nondescript.

If Marcus was so innocent when he was caught by the beggar, Luo Xiaotian couldn't guarantee what would happen.

After giving the innkeeper an extra day's money, Luo Xiaotian took Marcus to the previous carriage.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that after such a short period of time, Ronald you have become a second-ring magician, I really looked away at the beginning, it's a pity... If I had been able to have a good relationship with you, maybe the power of the family would have been preserved..."

"I don't seem to have that much energy, do I? and..."

"That's because the Grant family happened to be chosen as a victim, if you can help me, according to your relationship with Nina and Alice and your identity as a magician, they may choose someone else as a victim!"

"Listen to me, first of all, according to what your Grant family has done before, I will not be your friend no matter what, maybe I can't do it for the heavens, but it is absolutely impossible for me to help the abuse. And, even if I helped the Grant family through it once, do you think no one will target you after that? What are you going to do with the second, third, or even more difficulties? Will you survive it?"

"No... If you are not fierce enough in this world, you will not be able to become strong, and sooner or later you will be devoured by a more powerful enemy. ”

"You're right, if you're not strong, you won't be taken seriously by the strong, and they will swallow you with the belt core on a whim, but you have chosen the wrong way to become a strong man, so you can't. ”

What is the way to become a strong person? In fact, Luo Xiaotian is not very clear, but Luo Xiaotian knows that this method of the Grant family is absolutely not advisable, and it seems that there is no problem in plundering resources from the weak, but in the long run, it will make the stronger people start to be wary of the Grant family, afraid of its strength, and at the same time, it also overdraws the family's reputation, no matter who they are, they are no longer willing to believe them.

Of course, if you were strong enough before you were destroyed, you wouldn't have these problems. It's just that such a person, such a family is very small, and the right time and place are indispensable.

“... Well, in fact, the family was indeed defeated this time, and all the previous power was like a castle in the air, which was easily destroyed. Ronald? Do you think I'm going to have a chance to make a comeback?"

"How do I know, don't ask me about this kind of thing. And our relationship isn't good enough to talk about that, is it?"

The carriage continued to move forward, and before entering the First Avenue, it was checked by the soldiers, and the soldiers who checked the carriage were obviously stunned when they saw Marcus, but they didn't say anything after seeing the magician badge on Luo Xiaotian's chest, and soon let Luo Xiaotian's carriage enter the First Avenue.

The carriages of the nobles would have their respective family coats of arms on them, and no soldiers would inspect them. However, the ordinary carriage rented by Luo Xiaotian does not have such treatment.

"Here we go, Marcus. ”

"Good..."

The carriage stopped in front of the Duke's Palace, and Marcus looked a little nervous.

"Mr. Ronald, you're back, who is this?"

"This is Marcus. Why are you here?"

"Mr. Ronald, Miss Alice has gone to a friend's party in the morning, so I am here waiting for Miss Alice to return. ”

“... Marcus, Alice doesn't seem to be there. But we can go in and wait. Greenton, if Alice comes back, please help me tell her, I have something to find her. ”

"Yes, Mr. Ronald. ”

With Marcus, Luo Xiaotian planned to go back to his room first, but saw Nina playing chess with Ellie in the living room on the second floor.

"Alas, I lost again, this is the first time ... Ellie, you've only been learning for a long time, aren't you?!Why are you so powerful!"

The chessboard is still the chess pieces that Luo Xiaotian saw last time, this one is obviously Nina lost, and there are almost no chess pieces left on the chessboard here.

"Rollo?!You're back! Hey, this guy... Who's coming?"

"Daddy! Ellie misses you so much!"

"Daddy?"

It was Marcus who asked questions, and he swept around Luo Xiaotian and Ellie's faces with a look of surprise, and by the way, he also peeked at Nina from time to time.

"Nina, this is Marcus, you should have seen it. ”

"Oh... Is that nasty guy? I don't even recognize him when he dresses like this. ”

Marcus didn't do anything to refute, he just looked away and smiled wryly.

"But Rollo, Ellie is so good, I just started teaching her chess today, and now it's no match for her... Ah, it's not that I'm stupid, it's that the rules of this kind of chess are so complicated that if you don't pay attention to it, you'll be negligent. ”

"Complicated, then, I'll teach you something simple and fun!"
