Chapter 15: When He Becomes an Adult and Faces the Children

"Now that we're done with the swimsuit beauty, I'll talk about something else......" Wood felt embarrassed as he stood in the square. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that he hasn't faced a bunch of people, and there are no fewer people in the base than in the school.

But facing the same kind of people who can make meat jokes, and facing the little kid with a light in his eyes, are two completely different feelings.

Hidden in the next building, watching through the window, Klaus and McCar, who were already applauding the head of the regiment, after all, the first time they talked nonsense, they were in popular science swimsuits for students, and their hearts were also big.

"Actually, I don't know what to say. Wood patted Alice's head as she was smiling.

"So let's talk about how I feel right now, I am happy to see this Corolla Academy completed and done so well, and at the same time I am proud of the city.

Looking at the towers that are still being built over there, I can already foresee what the library will turn out to become, and it will be spectacular.

Don't ask me why I foresaw it, you have to remember the name Charlotte in the future, the boss of our central ...... One.

It is also likely to be ...... in the future It's sure to be one of the bosses of this continent!

I don't think I need to mention more about her, rumors and performances in the holy war, I believe you have a rod and a scale in your own hearts.

Skip her and talk about us. ”

Wood took the tea from Alice and took a sip.

"Wrong, it's about you. You children who have entered the breeding ground.

Let me ask you, what is this school for? To provide you with shelter from the elements, to make you an adventurer?

Now the courageous child can already raise his hand and answer the question...... It's you. ”

The little girl who was ordered by Wood took a deep breath, but was still very nervous, and did not speak after a while.

"In order for us to learn systematically, there will not be such a high casualty rate after entering the dungeon!"

Although she was a little nervous, the girl was full of confidence when she said this.

"Almost. Wood smiled and nodded, "Anything else to add?"

Most of the children of this era are not as naughty as in the story, and they can even be said to be too precocious. So the group of children didn't make trouble, they didn't talk to each other, and they didn't raise their hands at the end.

"The original intention of adventurers to enter the dungeon is to survive and to contribute to the world...... At least most of the adventurers in Kiel still have that idea. Wood kept smiling.

"In addition to reducing the casualty rate, there is one more thing......

I, my contemporaries, and the adventurers before me, we don't want you to go through all the we've been through.

Just like Charlotte, her behavior ...... At least what I used to think was wrong.

Killing fathers and mothers, chasing and killing brothers and sisters, and staining the eagle flag with blood. If it weren't for jihad, I think her fame would have been stained with blood for the rest of her life.

And me, I'm not afraid to ruin my image in your hearts.

I experienced some profound things when I was a child, and although I went to turn the page with the past some time ago, I will talk about it when I see you today. ”

Wood pondered for a moment, after all, he had not yet reached the point where he had no fluctuations in his heart to tell the past.

"Don't be surprised that I was once sold into the hands of a slave trader, it's true.

I used to think about dying, and I think most of these adventurers are tired of this world and want to say goodbye to this world.

Some people do have a real future, while others crawl out of the darkness because of a momentary mood swing or chance. Or keep going in the dark.

Anyway, the people who stayed where they were were were dead.

Not wanting you to plunge into darkness is one of the reasons we created the Academy.

Shelter you from the elements, even if it's just as a child.

I was part of the army of despair, but why didn't I die? Now think about it, luck is part of it, and part of it is the instinctive desire to survive.

Skinny, I was picked up by the jailers, and I took the drunk's dagger as a petty thief, and I changed into a gothic woman's dress in the bathroom to survive.

With long black hair and a young face that hasn't been cut for a long time, she must have been a good-looking Lori at the time.

Omitted in the middle, I ended up being crushed under a pervert. I raised my hands tenderly because of so much and hung the dagger over the heart of this bastard!

Finally, there is no fear of stabbing down!"

Wood played with the dagger in his hand as he reminisced about the incident.

Then he patted Alice on the head and looked at the teachers who sometimes came to school.

"These guys cherish the image they have in your hearts and will not tell you these things. But keep in mind that even the three generations of adventurers like the deputy head of my family have experienced some pains that have accompanied him growing up. ”

After putting away the dagger, Wood looked at the crowd.

"So your predecessors know that children who are just starting out on this path should not go through these things. ”

There was a silence first, then ......

Bang Bang Bang ......

I don't know who took the lead, but the children applauded anyway.

Wood also laughed and applauded himself.

He knew that even if these children were precocious, he probably didn't understand these words.

But it doesn't matter, when they grow up, they will remember these words, and they will surely understand.

"Shelter from the elements, reduce the casualty rate, let you have a strong body and a much better ability than we were at the beginning to enter the dungeon, and try to create a happy childhood and a poor youth of free love for you...... If you go to a special free love, you must listen to your elders, and if you have parents, you must listen to your parents! This is the advice of a father. ”

Wood's expression grimly amused the adults.

"With such a good life, I guess you can't find an excuse to take revenge on society in the future. He spread his hands, "You can't just say stupid things like 'the world doesn't treat me gently.'" ”

The children applauded and laughed.

The words they heard today planted a seed in their hearts: cherish the hard-won life now, and work hard every day after that. After becoming an adventurer, you can't be willing to fall, if you survive...... Become a teacher or one of those famous adventurers!

The child's dream was beautiful, and Wood smiled and nodded, and Alice kept her head down to prevent others from seeing her wry smile.

"After saying all this, I remembered that I came to be a teacher today...... So I'll tell you how to forge weapons. Wood put on the glasses Alice had gotten for herself. "First ......"

......

"The head of the group really likes to draw flatbread for these children. Alice said, looking at Wood's back.

"Ahh Wood slowed down to admire the picturesque beauty of the college, "Look at this beautiful place, I want to move in." ”

"Thank you, Captain, for the compliment. Alice, as one of the designers, walked up with a smile and walked up briskly to introduce the scenes and the hardships of construction to the head of the group.

Boastful, but Wood likes such a lovely Alice.

After a while......

"Alice, I just forgot to ask, this group of children entered the cruel world from the greenhouse, are you prepared to put a buffer zone in the middle?"

Wood sat in a gazebo in the middle of the river, admiring the view.

"Actually, Alice thought about it and had a plan. Alice pulled out a piece of paper.

Since becoming the little follower of the head of the regiment, she has become accustomed to writing down everything she thinks and needs to report.

"Just do what you want, that's good. Wood handed the paper back, "But use intermediate-level monsters there, a maximum of two people per team." ”

"This ...... Wouldn't it be too strict?" Alice asked weakly.

"I don't care about the other academies, but under my nose, I have to meet this standard before entering the dungeon! Otherwise, it's better to stay at home and get moldy than to run to the dungeon to feed those monsters. ”

Wood thought about it again.

"It's a bit more changeable, so that children under the age of 10 don't have to participate. Eleven to fifteen years old have to face intermediate monsters, up to two, don't think about getting a job if you don't pass, sixteen years old and above, you can enter the Goblin Dungeon, a team of up to three people. And if you want to graduate, you have to get the head of the Goblin King. ”

Intermediate Monsters: Creatures summoned by summoners, intermediate are probably stronger than adventurers who have just changed jobs.

"Okay Commander. Alice could only nod in agreement.

This big man had just been kind to those little ghosts, but now that he had turned his head and become so strict, she felt that the head of the regiment had learned her own success.

"I didn't learn from you. ”

"Uh......" Alice was stunned and smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, do you know how to read minds?"

"It's just that you're too good at guessing. Wood smacked Alice over tea, "The school side still needs you to bother, I'll play at home for a few more days, and then I'll take care of the whole bunch of things you gave me." ”

"Captain!" Alice suddenly put her hands on her chest, and her pupils flashed with shiny little stars.

"What's wrong? You scare me a little like a. Wood leaned back.

It's just that Alice was moved to cry, and the head of the group finally remembered to deal with those things, which had dragged on from years ago to now...... Alice finally didn't have to be disciplined by the deputy head and the group of bigwigs...... Woowoo woo ......"

As she spoke, Alice really started crying.

"Don't ...... I'm just a little lazy. ”

Facing the crying Alice, Wood also became a little scrambling.

"Why are you really crying? Klaus and those guys, are they really training you if there's something going on?"

"Uh-huh...... Alice nodded as she wiped her tears, "they train you so hard, you don't treat Alice as a human being every day...... But Alice didn't want the group to be tired, so she could only bear it silently. ”

Alice, who is pear blossoms with rain, not to mention how pitiful and distressing it is.

Wood sighed and put his hand on Alice's little head......

"Ahh

"It's nothing, it's just that the thought of almost being abducted by you just makes me a little unhappy. ”

"Hee-hee. Alice wiped her tears with a tissue, and the next second she turned into a lively beautiful girl with red eyes and a smile. "It seems that the head of the group is afraid of real tears. ”

"Yes, I'm too kind and a little lustful, and I can't help the beautiful girl cry. ”

"Is the head of the regiment praising Alice for being a beautiful girl?"

"You're indeed a beautiful girl, but every time I see you, a beautiful girl, I always want to go somewhere. Wood fell silent suddenly.

Alice didn't expect it at first, but after a while, her smile disappeared, and she lowered her head and fell silent.

"Alice, have you been to him after this?"

"Hmm...... Been there a few times. Alice put her hands to her face and moved.

Wood knew she was crying this time.

"The former head of the Seven Colored Bone Flower, my brother Harry, picked you out of the fire, I guess I didn't expect to pick up a girl who would cry for him at that time. ”

"Hmm...... When Captain Wood tossed me aside, Captain Harry often came to the tavern. Although he didn't talk to me, I knew that he would observe me and care about me every time. ”

"yes, I can tell that Brother Harry cares about you. Wood took a sip of tea, "I wish Harrigo could see the city of Kiel now." ”

Alice continued to keep her head down, she actually wanted to go back in time and say sorry to Head Harry.

Full of emotion, full of apologies, I have never said "I'm sorry" so heavily.

"Captain Harry is a good guy, but I ...... Not a good boy. I don't think I was wrong, but I regret that I didn't have a good word with Head Harry. ”

Wood nodded and patted Alice's head down.

"I have a lot of regrets about him, so let's go buy some flowers and get some bottles. ”

"Hmm. ”

......

"Harry, I've brought your 'daughter' to see you. Wood stood at Harry's grave and opened two bottles of wine.

Pour one bottle yourself, and pour the other slowly.

Alice suddenly didn't know how to speak when she saw Harry's name, and she had so many words in her heart, but now she could only be silent.

Wood patted the girl on the back understandingly, then handed over a bottle of wine.

The girl put down the bouquet, got up and took the wine, opened the stopper, raised it against the tombstone, and took a deep breath and began to blow on the bottle the next moment.

"Yes, yes, beautiful girls have such a heroic side!" Wood, who was slightly drunk, began to heckle.

The wine was bold, and Alice, who was blushing, first burped, and then patted her chest and glared at the crazy Wood.

Don't be too noisy in front of the grave!

Wood cooperatively put his hand to his lips and made a zipper gesture.

"Hahaha......" This time it was Alice's turn to laugh, because the head of the group gave in to her for the first time...... The next moment, she was hit on the head again.

"You're going to be beaten dumb. She protested.

"It's just right to be stupid, girls are too smart and no one wants them. Wood opened another bottle of wine as he spoke, "In the future, if you find true love, you must come to Harry to be grateful." ”

"What the hell is ......there," Alice pouted, thinking to herself that she hadn't been rushed to the market, and then crouched down again to open the bottle.

"Thank you, Captain Harry, and I'm sorry I didn't take the initiative to talk to you. Alice lifted the bottle, ready to take another sip.

"Alright, alright. Wood grabbed the bottle.

Cutie Lisi didn't cling to it, and her body threw herself on the bottle...... That is, he threw himself on Wood's arm and did not let go.

Wood always felt that something was wrong, and that he would be disciplined for such a gaffe before Harry!

Hands up again......

"Ahh

"I'm sorry......" she said, looking down.

I don't know if I said sorry to Harry or Wood, maybe both.

"You're usually a good drinker, what's wrong today?" Wood didn't shy away from drinking Alice's wine.

"I don't know, maybe there are a lot of things but I'm happy, and my mind is too simple, so simple that I don't have so many negative thoughts, so it's easy to get drunk. ”

", do these bad excuses have anything to do with being too drunk?" Wood hiccuped as well. "But hearing your words, Harry didn't save you in vain. ”

Alice nodded silently, smiling, warm and genuine. At the same time, take out large scissors and start removing weeds.

After a while, Wood was still drinking, and Alice had finally cleared the weeds and was ready to get a few more bottles of wine.

At this time, another man came over, Alexander, who was holding the child.

The three of them just nodded their heads and said hello slightly, and without saying much to each other, they just quietly watched Alexander hold up Nono and say something to Harry.

As he spoke, the baby's face also turned red, which would make those noble ladies feel distressed.

After a long time, at noon, Wood picked up a bottle of wine and looked at Alexander.

In normal times, Alexander would definitely take it without hesitation, and fight with Wood without getting drunk, but now......

He kissed the child who was asleep in his arms, and squinted slightly at Wood, as if to say, "You father is incompetent."

Alexander put down the bouquet and left, Alice looked at the time, grabbed the arm of the paralyzed man on the ground, and walked down the hill with some difficulty.

At the same time, he also brought a bottle of wine, but he couldn't let the name become a garbage dump.

There was a smell of alcohol in her breath, but Alice loved the smell now.

In the tavern, Captain Harry would often get drunk and confused, and he would not return home drunk.

......

Wood woke up with a pain in his head, and he stood up and looked out the window, knowing it was dusk.

Looking back, he realized that he had slept all afternoon.

Lifted the quilt and walked downstairs, and saw Betty who was already sitting in the living room, he hurriedly went over and asked with a concerned expression, "Why did you get up?"

"I've gotten fat every day when I'm lying down, and I don't get up and move anymore, are you waiting for me to find a few more 'sisters'?" Betty hugged Sylvia and continued to speak ill of her father in her daughter's ear.

"Go back and lie down! I've been fond of plump lately!" said Wood, turning and grabbing the morning light, and telling the little maid what he thought with his eyes.

The maids trembled and could only begin to do ideological work on the eldest lady.

Wood held out his hand, and Betty reluctantly put Sylvia into the hands.

"Be careful, don't let the stubble get to our Vivi. Betty said Sylvia's nickname.

"Got it...... Be careful that you turn into a verbose old woman in the future. Wood slowly walked outside with Sylvia in his arms.

He was going to take his daughter to see the scenery.

Elizabeth hurried over, and on the way, she also blessed the little princess with protection to block harmful substances such as bacteria and dust in the air.

Like Sophia and Arthur, every new life is born that breaks the hearts of the priests.

If this new life had met a very ego father, the priests would have wanted to die, and Elizabeth began to repeatedly purge the bastard master of the smell of alcohol.

Wood only reacted at this time, and could only smile apologetically at his daughter as he walked over to Sophia and Arthur, who were playing in the courtyard.

The two older children have learned to walk, and although they are a little shaky, they will be fine with the maid.

Holding Sylvia and playing with the two older children for a while, Vivi also liked her brother and sister, and from time to time stretched out her young arms to interact with them.

Wood loves the feeling of being surrounded by little beings, as if he is in heaven.

Elizabeth and the maids smiled happily as they watched the scene.

This is the Wood family.

In the evening, Wood reluctantly separates from Sylvia and stays in his room to read "Magic Cannon Analysis", written by an old engineer in Angel City.

Writing while watching, he is translating, after all, these technologies will be promoted in the future.

Now he has to study hard first and build the magic energy well, so that he can start a mechanical boom in the house.

It allows ordinary people to find another way to survive in addition to the side profession.
