12. Humble dreams (2)
"Do you know why Roland hates you so much?
The sea snake took a deep breath of smoke, then coughed several times in embarrassment, and then asked with a wry smile, Eliven shook his head, to be honest, he didn't know the answer himself, did he have a mocking face?
"Roland's parents are also wild mages, ten years ago, they were killed in a secret gathering of wild mages, the murderer is the mages of the famous White Stone Society in Northern Xinjiang, since then, Roland, who witnessed the tragic death of his parents, has become an orphan wandering around, until he meets my mentor, and your robe, is the style of the Great Magus of the White Stone Society.

"No wonder!"
Elivan pursed his lips angrily, put his finger on the neckline, and then twitched his hand, and the originally fitting robe was untied from the front by him, looking like a purple coat, and then he heard the cold voice of the sea snake,
"Actually, my parents are the same. β
Under the slightly dim light of the Dancing Light Technique, the sea snake exhaled a puff of white smoke and said in a normal tone,
"I've never seen their faces, and in fact when I was less than a year old, my parents' secluded village was "harbored witches" by a group of low-level mages who had gone out In the course of the fight, my father accidentally stabbed to death a mage apprentice with some background, and the result was a two-month life-and-death pursuit, in order to hunt down my father, when he was only an intermediate mage, the White Stone Society dispatched a magister, a lineup of two high-level mages, all the way to chase my parents from the middle of the empire to here, my father left me, and then tried to resist with my mother, but the strength of the two of them was too weak, so they ended up dying in the wilderness outside the city, and I, I met the mentor who returned from collecting medicine, so I can live until nowγ β
As he spoke, he pressed the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the two were sitting.
"Here, that's where I grew up with my mentors, I learned magic with my mentor here, and I took over the only old amber staff in my mentor's hand here, and it was from here that I went to the outside world, compared to other juniors and disciples who could still get our help, I was a bit of a down-and-out one, but my luck was not bad, after a few years, I met Putini and them in the mercenary market in the South China Sea, and since then, I can also earn a not too bad reward with my own strength, and I can also add another strength to my mentor's dreamγ β
Speaking of this, the sea snake laughed, he pointed in the direction of the chapel, and said in an indifferent tone,
"You may not believe it, but the old man's biggest dream in his life is to build an academy only for wild mages in this ruined place, and in the three thousand years since the opening of the Third Age, the first and only school in the legend was established by wild mages in the Desert of Death After the magic academy was destroyed by the White Stone Society and the Tower of the Star and Moon, there was no academy willing to accept the wild mages, and in the next two thousand years, even the inheritance of the wild mages could only be carried out by sneaking, but even so, he refused to give up, bought this vacant land with the money he had saved all his life, and then built the strange "classroom" with his own hands , and do his best to collect those children who have magical qualifications, but are not taken into account by those orthodox colleges, and want to give them a skill, and train them to become "qualified" wild mages. β
"He failed!"
The sea serpent paused, losing even the last trace of emotion, like a dry narration, but Elivan could clearly sense a taste of sorrow more than death in it, " At the end of his life, he still had hope for the Wild Mage group, and even did not hesitate to spend his last Origin Magic to contact the leader of the Wild Mage Resistance Organization now active in the middle of the continent, that is, the liar who claimed to have planned the great incident in Sam City, Samir, the leader of the Chaos Order, begging him to take in the more than thirty children with magical qualifications he had collected, but... Hehe, Samir didn't even give him a chance to meet, just sent an entourage and sent him away, hehe, that pathetic old man, stubborn all his life, finally understood at the last moment that everything he did was so insignificant, that even his compatriots laughed at him, alienated him because he had unrealistic dreams, insulted him, laughed at him. β
"He's down! Elivan, no matter how much he loves this group, no matter how much he gives to this group! He still fell, he was not afraid of suppression or even assassination from the orthodox mages, but the dagger from his own side was something he couldn't afford anyway, and the bastards didn't even want to admit that he was a wild mage, just because he wanted to build a wild mage academy, why did this happen? how could they do this!! what did we do wrong? we... Don't you even have the power to dream?"
Looking at the sea snake covering his face and crying helplessly, Elivan's heart has never been so heavy, he is not unaware of the current situation of the wild mages, but he never thought that a sad story would happen in front of his eyes, he didn't even know how to open his mouth to comfort the sea snake, he knew that no matter how the sea snake belittled his mentor's dream, but the sadness at this time has also been explained, so why not be his dream?
The general is old, the beauty has gray hair, the flowers are withering, and the dream is broken, it is always the most painful time, and in this late autumn night when the night is dark, but not very cold, the dream that the sea snake inherited from his mentor, which should have lasted a lifetime, was shattered.
"Is he still there? Sea Serpent, I want to meet him. β
After a long silence, Elivan said, and the sea snake wiped his tears and said with a smile,
"Call me Shelfield, the old man is leaving, but this place, and the little ones, his appointed heir has given up, so I can't give them up anymore, we're already pitiful enough, and someone has to come forward, isn't it?"
"Give up, you mean this kid?"
Eliven stood up and pointed at Roland, who was about to freeze all over, the poor man was already confused, he couldn't even hear the movement of the two people talking, hearing Elivan's question, a trace of pain flashed in the sea snake's eyes, and then nodded,
"Roland is the most outstanding heir that the mentor found in his later years, it took me eight years to reach the senior mage, and he only took five years, which can be called the most outstanding genius among the orphans of the wild mages who were adopted by the mentor, hehe, the speed is about the same as yours. β
After listening to this, Elivan looked at Roland who was frozen in the ice coffin with disdain, and said in his heart, Lao Tzu is a titan, and you can compare to the scum of a senior mage of the Feren system for five years? (To be continued.) )
