[This chapter completes the story of the parents of Lisat Socrates and Smelie Plato]

Life is made up of countless choices, some of which you can't make on your own, but some of which you can take your own initiative.

Like Alexie Aristotle, as an ordinary woman who married from her own family to the Socratic family, she is a model for many women in the small town of peace.

The identity of the chief auctioneer of the auction house has won him the envy of many people, many women in the city regard her as the forerunner of women's rights and the idol of women, but many men are viciously speculating in private, and for this high position, she has slept with several distinguished guests.

But whether outsiders were envious or jealous, Rixie Aristotle was a strong woman at home, and even his husband, Wells Socrates, who had reached the third rank of mortal warrior, sometimes had to listen to her and act according to her face.

But in fact, the original Rixy Aristotle was not like this.

When she was young, she was as sentimental as ordinary girls, longing for a vigorous love that she would never regret, but she had no qualifications and couldn't stand the sin of warrior training, so marrying a good man became her only choice.

In 17995, the year of the Magic Empire, when the news of Herb Plato's elopement with Angus Gale spread in private, she was exactly 22 years old, and she envied the sister who was only 3 years older than her at that time, who had the courage to find such a good home.

But who would have thought that the following year, she would be married to her current husband, Wells Socrates. The conditions of the two are actually not much different from the economic point of view, and they can be regarded as very typical households!

The only difference is that Wells Socrates had a job in the family's merchant group, specializing in transporting between the forest and the town, and was responsible for finding all kinds of valuable goods for the family auction house.

Ricci Aristotle, on the other hand, just stayed at home and was responsible for doing the housework, reading, flipping through idle books such as "The Blind Mage", killing time, and being a full-time housewife.

At first, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it was a good marriage that wasn't what she was looking for.

Family comfort, food and clothing, plenty of time, you can read books, chat, live a leisurely and happy life, be a little woman who takes care of the family, and live like this for a lifetime, which is also very good for an ordinary woman with no magical qualifications.

It's just that this kind of life only lasted for three years, and when her stomach didn't move in the third year, her husband's eyes began to change when he looked at her, and all kinds of ugly rumors followed.

Between the two, there is not much physical violence, but what makes Rixy Aristotle unbearable the most is the psychological domestic violence, his husband began to ignore her, and everything in the family is decided by himself.

He even learned to fool around in bars and stay up all night, and when he was caught by Lixie when he was out with other women and was caught by Lixie, Wells (abbreviation) not only showed no remorse, but also said confidently: "It's all your fault for not being angry, do you want our family to be the last?......" and even hinted that if the woman outside him really had his child, Lixie would have to accept it if necessary.

Such declarations and hints, coupled with the tacit indulgence of her husband's family, all made Lixi's heart completely chilled, and she fell into a day of self-pity and tears.

At that time, the only way for her to vent her emotions was to talk to her cousin Amanda Aristotle to talk about her pain, hoping to get some comfort to ease her inner pain.

Compared to the marriage of his other cousin, Amanda Aristotle, the two of them were married together, and her husband Gergil Plato was still a member of the city's garrison, and his attitude towards his wife, who had also been absent for three years, was in turn comforting his cousin.

Sometimes people are like this, and the more they compare, the easier it is to fall into the horns, and no doubt Lixie has plunged into it, and he has become more and more emaciated.

At this moment, the appearance of a woman and a simple conversation deeply touched Lixi's heart, made her stand up, and ushered in a great change in her life.

It was just an ordinary woman, and just by looking at her face, you would definitely believe that she was only a few years older than Lixi.

She had rough hands like cracked tree bark, tanned skin, and crow's feet creeping up the corners of the woman's eyes.

Every morning, the woman would get up early in the morning and go from house to house selling vegetables. Because the vegetables are fresh and **, although her dishes are a little more expensive than outside, but for people with a little money, it is just convenient and convenient.

It wasn't the first time she had seen this woman, she had an impression of her before, because when she was 15 years old and just an adult, she was carefree. The woman had already begun to do so, she was still very young, her skin was not so dark, and her hands were not as rough as they are now.

But only 10 years later, she had already become like this, and Lixie still vaguely remembered that she had talked to her a few times, and that the woman should have been only 2 or 3 years older than her, but now ......

Thinking of his current situation, he ...... inexplicably Richy walked up and asked the woman, "Have you ever thought about changing such a day?"

The woman didn't look up, but picked up the vegetables in her hand, and said casually: "Of course I want to! But I don't have any money! I just want to make money desperately to change my life! My little cub is 6 years old this year, and everyone around him says that he has been smart since he was a child, and he is a magician, but last year it was found that he really has magical qualifications; then I have to work harder, and I must save up the qualification testing fee of 10 gold coins and the money to go to the magic academy! But we can't delay my child's future because of us." ”

Lixie was slightly moved, what a simple and simple truth: because you are poor, you have to rely on hard work to make money to change your life, even if you are poor, you don't want to affect your children's future.

Looking at her delicate skin and smooth hands, Lixie fell into deep thought: now she is still mourning and pitying herself for a little family dispute, and she washes her face with tears every day, but what is the use?......

For the first time, Lixie realized that there was something else she could do to change her situation.

While she was stunned, the woman had already sorted out the vegetables, and seeing that Lixie was distracted, the woman asked carefully, "Okay, that's all there is to it, this lady, do you want to order more?"

Lixie woke up and found that she had been watching the woman sort out the vegetables for a long time, when she suddenly felt a little itchy in her throat, and she couldn't wait to blurt out a question: "But it will cost a lot of money to become a magician! And it is said that she will die, aren't you afraid?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lixie regretted it, isn't this a blow to others?!

When the woman heard this, she sighed silently, and replied in a calm tone: "If you don't have any money, you can borrow it! I have already thought about it, if the child is angry, he can really become a magician, even if he smashes pots and sells iron, he must be trained! I don't want the child to be like us, digging in the ground all his life, and now that he has the qualifications, I always have to let him go out and break through." ”

After saying that, the woman took the money from the cook on the other side, and strode away without looking back. Lixie reacted from what she had just said. An impulse surged over her, and Lixie asked, "What's that kid's name?"

The woman paused, looked back proudly, and said, "My name is Margiri Feynman, I'm 6 years old, and I'm going to go to magic elementary school this fall." With that, she walked out through the side door of the three kitchens of the psychiatric department.

Lixie looked at the small door and the woman's back, and suddenly felt that the woman's back was so tall, and she could actually do something......

Thinking of this, Lixie gritted her teeth and ran to the recruitment office of her clan. (Little common sense: The recruitment office here is a place where the big family specially arranges their own people to do things, after all, the family affairs are a little worried about outsiders taking over)

She decided that the first step was to be able to support herself, not her husband.

As soon as she ran to the recruitment office, she happened to see a newly posted auction artist recruitment profile, and Lixie reported her name without thinking about it. So, in the year 17999 of the Magic Dynasty calendar, a small legend that belonged only to Lixie himself kicked off in the auction hall of the three spiritual departments.

At the beginning of the following year, she found out that she was pregnant with a child, and in November of that year she gave birth to a baby girl, Lisat Socrates.

It's just that after that, he has to be busy with his own career, and Lisat Socrates has always been placed in the family foster care, and because of the nature of Wells's work, he and his daughter often don't see each other once in a few months, and with some rumors outside, the relationship between father and daughter is even more indifferent.

Before the age of 3, Lisat Socrates spent her first few years of knowing the world as if she had no father or mother. It wasn't until Lixi's career was basically stable that she began to pay attention to her daughter again.

Timidity was probably her first definition after meeting her daughter, and of course, she began to change her daughter's behavior and behavior according to her own ideas......

――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line that suddenly appeared――――――――――

As the saying goes: Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi,

After the birth of the child, Rixie's cousin Amanda Aristotle also gave birth to a daughter, but the circumstances of the two changed dramatically after having a child.

Speaking of which, Amanda and Lixie are the same age, but Lixie was born on August 19, 17974 in the Magic Empire calendar, and Amanda is 3 days younger than her.

The two are almost best friends from childhood to adulthood, and even the marriage is chosen in the same year, which can be described as a good fate.

Amanda's husband, Gergil Plato, served in the city's garrison, and his usual duty was to catch petty thieves and help people find lost property. Therefore, Gergil Plato's reputation among the neighbors is still very good, and there is nothing wrong with people, one is not good at gambling, and the other is not nonsense, except for being greedy for a cup, there is nothing bad.

is such a seemingly good son-in-law, a husband who still has no bad words even after Amanda has nothing to say anything about him. But after the birth of his daughter Smiri Plato, his hidden domestic violence tendencies were exposed.

Gergil Plato was easily irritable and impatient with his children's crying, punching and kicking Amanda at every turn, on the grounds that she had not taken good care of the child and made her cry.

What's even more laughable is that every time Amanda can't stand it and cries that she wants to leave this house, Gegill will try her best to apologize and admit her mistakes, and then use the child as an excuse to hope that she will not leave this house.

Whenever she thought of Smillie's tender face, Amanda would always soften her heart and forgive Gergil for her mistakes. However, it was not long before Gergil relapsed.

What the...... The child accidentally broke something...... The kid was fighting with the boys outside again...... The table at home is not tidied up...... The doorknob was broken...... Such trivial and inconspicuous things can be used as excuses to quarrel with Amanda, and then blame her for not taking care of the children.

When the child was older, Gergil began to beat the child, and even the mother was scolded, and then the mother would beat the child in turn, and before each beating, Gergil would always find a plausible reason as an excuse, so that outsiders would not even have a reason to interfere.

For example, today Si Mili asked the parents of other people's children to come to the door again, so it was a beating, and she didn't ask why Si Miri fought with a boy older than her, and it didn't matter if the boy did it first.

So Smirri is scared of her dad at home, but at the same time she can't get much help from her mom. Because the two most common words as a mother are: "If it weren't for you, I would have left this house a long time ago." "Why don't you learn from other people's girls, you always have to worry about me, you don't look like a girl at all." ”

This also made the young Si Mili unable to let go, and always felt that her appearance was a burden to the two, so she didn't like to stay at home anymore, and ran outside all day long.

Until 18003, Smili and Lisart experienced a trip in the illusion, although Smili lost that memory, but also unknowingly hid her edge.

She began to fantasize that she was a fading ball of light, and her sense of presence was getting lower and lower, but Smillie found that as long as her presence was low, she would be beaten less.

So, she began to speak quietly, learned to be quiet, began to pester Sister Lisart, and even thought of herself as Lisart's shadow, and finally Smillie became what Edison was when he found her.

It has a very low sense of presence, and it is almost impossible to be noticed without actively speaking.

Sometimes things are like this, no matter what the cause of the matter is or what it will turn into, the weakest party always has to learn to reform itself first.

......

That year (18003 in the Magic Empire calendar), Rixy unexpectedly learned from her cousin Amanda that she had envied the death of Herb Plato, and left a posthumous son to Bard, while Angus Gale had been dead for more than 2 years.

She thought to herself, "No wonder I feel like 'The Blind Mage' has become unreadable lately!" Subconsciously, Rixy and her cousin Amanda Aristotle began to pay attention to this child named Paul Aristotle. (See the end of chapter 12 of Volume I, Childhood.) ）

When Simily was 5 years old, both sisters were tested for magical qualifications, which also made the status of Simili's family turn around, and Amanda began to gradually get out of her situation as a housewife with the help of her cousin Lixi.

She began to learn from her cousin, little by little, relying on her own hands, to earn her own self-esteem, and also began to believe that with such a daughter, tomorrow would always be fine.

That year, Ricci and Paul's guardian, Curtiz Plato, signed a verbal marriage contract in the presence of the family elders, to which she agreed out of her understanding of Paul's parents and a sense of nostalgia for her lost youth.

And this ...... That's the beginning of another story.

......

In 18004, the two sisters Lysart and Smilley entered the Wizarding Elementary School in the Western Continent to attend the preschool of the Magic Elementary School, where they met two other people who would influence them for the rest of their lives: Edison Tesla and Instar Newton.

This is the end of the story, the story of the parents is over, and their future is just about to begin.

......

Sometimes after I feel like a little bird

I want to fly

But I can't fly high

......

The world is so small

We are doomed to have nowhere to run

When I tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection

When you decide to burn for your ideals

The pressure of life and the dignity of life

Which one is important

(PS1: I was going to divide it into two chapters.,Thinking about it, it's still put together.,Finally finished writing this half of the volume.,It's going to be the New Year.,I'll try to keep changing.,But it's estimated that the number of words will be a little less.,If you don't feel like it's enough to read.,You can review the first volume again.,Combined with the content of this half of the volume and then look back.,There will definitely be a different feeling.。 ）

(PS2: In this half of the volume, each story is written according to the model of the movie theater version, using a compressed plot to maximize the flesh and blood of the characters, and at the same time, it is necessary to clarify the relationship between the characters, explain the various forces, and properly bury the foreshadowing.) This is also a challenge to myself! Whether you are satisfied or not, please remember to read the summary of the single chapter I wrote. ）
