I'm playing with mud. Little Albert looked at his father with a grin.

The father looked at the mud marks on his face and the mud spots all over his body, and smiled, "Why play with mud?" ”

Little Albert restrained his smile and said seriously: "I want to be a great sculptor and make prosthetics like real legs, so that Dad can walk the same as before!" ”

Little Albert snorted triumphantly, habitually scratched the wing of his nose with his dirty index finger, and added a small mud mark to his face to cover the freckles.

The father laughed and reached out to rub Albert's hair.

"Then we agreed that when you make a prosthetic leg like a real leg, I will call you Albert the Great Sculptor!"

"Good!" Little Albert laughed merrily.

At that time, my mother had not yet died, and my father could not drink.

The warm picture disappeared from his eyes, and the light in Albert's eyes dimmed.

He gently stroked the magic prosthetic, took a deep breath, and entered the room.

The thick smell of wine hit his face, and Albert's whole face wrinkled into walnuts.

A middle-aged man was lying crookedly on the inclined bed, his hair was unkempt, stained with a few broken leaves, his eyes were hazy, and his two legs were placed on the bed in a figure-eight shape, one leg was intact, and the other leg was embedded with a wooden prosthesis under the knee.

"Father, I'm back." Albert said with a slight bend.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man snorted, unable to tell whether it was an answer or a drunken seizure.

"I've made a magic prosthetic leg, and while it's not quite the same as a real leg, it's much better than a wooden leg, and I'll put it on for you now." Albert said cautiously.

"Hmm."

Albert stepped forward, expertly removing the wooden prosthesis and gently replacing it with a magical metal prosthetic.

Albert stood up and looked at the prosthetic leg that fit his father's leg perfectly, and a smile of joy appeared on his face.

"Father, get up and try it, this magic prosthetic limb is very powerful, and the seniors of the puppet society praise me." Albert's tone was full of pride.

"Huh?" The middle-aged man didn't seem to hear Albert at all, and as soon as he turned around, he picked up the flask and poured wine into the glass.

Tick......

After three drops, it stopped.

He shook the flask vigorously, and the flask was silent, slamming it into Albert.

Albert hurriedly dodged.

Bang!

The flask smashed against the wall, splintering in all directions.

"How much money did you make this month?" The middle-aged man looked sideways at Albert, his eyes lit up a little.

Albert was stunned for a moment, and was about to say two thousand golden eagles, but he glanced at the magic prosthetics, which had already been used up.

"I ...... It's been a trial this month, and I haven't made much money. Albert said nervously.

"Rubbish! I raised you for your education, and that's how you repaid me? Look at the neighbor's Strauss, who is about your age and is already able to work, what about you? If you don't study well and don't make much money, what's the use? It's better to have a dog than to raise you! ”

Albert was silent, he went to Plato's Academy because he passed the talent assessment, and not only did he not spend a penny on his father after he went to school, but he also had to earn money to support the family.

However, wine is expensive.

"Get out of here and buy me a drink. Next time you don't bring alcohol home, don't go through this door! Get lost! ”

Albert lowered his head and turned to leave.

He silently walked out of the door, silently walked in, silently walked out of the house, silently walked on the street.

As the sun set, Albert couldn't hold back any longer, tears flowed freely.

"You forgot, but I remember."

He wiped his tears and walked slowly alone.

The room of the Colosseum.

Su Ye looked at Teacher Nedern's magic letter again.

"Mount Mars has issued a verdict to exile you for ten years, with a deadline of three days to leave Athens. Don't leave yet, stay there, and I'll look for you right away. Remember, don't leave. ”

"Hmm."

Su Ye replied simply, calm as water.

After a long time, footsteps rang out.

Su Ye raised his head, and Teacher Nidern, who was dressed in a black robe, pushed the door in.

The five-section staff hovered to his right, emitting a faint glow, and followed him.

"My smartest student, why do you still have a cold face when you see your best teacher." Nedern smiled.

Su Ye said angrily: "The person who can still laugh now must not be a good thing." ”

Nedern immediately restrained his smile, coughed lightly, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Touch my ring with your space ring, I have brought all your things." Two Demon Source Badges, the first prize of the three schools, including the remains of the rock dwarves rewarded by Persia. And, of course, the City-State Championship trophies and laurels that Palos will help you retrieve. ”

Su Ye stretched out his left hand, and the space rings of the two people touched, and the light flashed.

Nedern untied the magic money bag from his waist and said, "There are also the 200,000 Golden Eagles you withdrew in advance, 100,000 from the Hook Potions Firm, 100,000 from the Dragon's Beauty Dealers, and the rest will be settled at the end of the year." There's also an additional 30,000 Golden Eagles, which you won at the City-State Tournament. ”

Su Ye also took out his magic money bag, and the magic money bags of the two collided.

Halala......

A large amount of golden eagles turned into golden light and quickly flowed into Su Ye's money bag.

The dark room shimmered with golden light.

"Aren't you happy with a beautiful voice and a beautiful light?" Nedern stared at Su Ye with two eyes, one true and one false.

"I can't be happy."

At the end of the gold coin pass, Su Ye took back the gold bag.

"After you leave, the Potions Dealer will only be able to carry out some basic medicinal material business, and its income will be greatly reduced." Nedern Road.

"I'll find a way to get the herbs back, I think, there are Plato's chamber of commerce stores all over the world, right?" Su Ye's face was calm.

"Yes. Already marked in your magic book. By the way, your magic book can't deliver messages when you leave Athens, so you can either find a golden mage to use monsters to transmit messages, or ask a Sanctuary master to help you carry out ultra-long-distance transmissions. ”

Su Ye nodded.

"In addition, you have added a lot of content to your magic book, in addition to the bronze magic array, there is also the silver magic array, I specially helped you apply for the golden magic array and the magic creation course. Plus, all the lessons, from 1st grade to 5th grade, are in your book. And, of course, a large number of books on advanced magic. Nedern said.

"Looks like you really don't want me back." Su Ye's tone was very flat.

"If you say that, the teacher will be very sad. In fact, the Academy has been looking for ways to help you reduce your exile time. ”

"I've thought about it, too, but it's no surprise that the nobles will block all my means of commutation. And...... If what I expected, at most tomorrow they will find a new charge and try to get me back. ”

"Rest assured, the academy won't let you get caught back." Nedern smiled.

"yes, those old ...... Wish I could have suffered a little more, wouldn't you? Su Ye stared into Nedern's eyes.

"You have a deep misunderstanding of the college, and we want to see every outstanding student grow up healthy and strong. You see, I gave you so many magic arrays and magic books, and I took all your rewards back. By the way, have you ever wondered what to exchange for the Demon Source Badge? When you are promoted to Silver Mage, you will also need Bronze-level magical creature remains. Two Demon Source Badges aren't enough. ”

"You help me deliver Zachary to the Magic Council and see if I can exchange it for the Demon Source Badge." Su Ye Dao.

"Is this all right?" Nedern froze.

"After all, I'm helping the magicians fight the nobility, if such a good drama is not considered a contribution to the wizarding world, who will dare to fight the nobility as a magician in the future, right? You put my words in the application. Su Ye said.

Nedern looked helpless and said, "If you dare to think, I dare to do it, I'll try." Also, be careful when you speak in the future, don't brag too much. ”

"I've always been honest, reliable, loyal and rigorous, when have I ever boasted?" Su Ye was puzzled.

"Do you know what those magicians are talking about right now? They are all suspecting that your earth is a super-miraculous and magical being, and even suspecting that it is an ancient goblin god. Hell, those guys dare to think of anything. ”

"Okay, I'll be a little more restrained later." Su Ye Dao.

"What else do you have to say?"

"Is this a confession? Can I curse? Su Ye asked.

"I can't."

"Can I take refuge in Persia, Egypt, or Northern Europe?" Su Ye asked.

"I suggest you think again." A cold glint twinkled in Nedern's eyes.

"I think it's feasible, after all, Plato's Academy watched me being exiled, and the Athenian nobles wanted to eat me alive. If I ask for help as a persecuted person, the three countries will be happy to accept it. What's more, I have acquaintances in Persia and Northern Europe, and my status is not low. Su Ye said.

"What the hell are you asking for?" Nedern looked at Su Ye warily.

"How about I pay to rent a gold warrior and a gold mage to follow me?" Su Ye asked.

"How many ...... can you have" Nedern suddenly shut his mouth, because halfway through the conversation, he found that Su Ye could really afford to rent.

"No, you're a fugitive and exile, not a young master's outing!" Nedern Road.

"So, where do I go next?" Su Ye asked.

Nedern said angrily, "The sea." ”

"Specific places." Su Ye Dao.

"I don't know, but our plan for the time being is on the east coast of the Aegean Sea opposite. It was a Panhellenic region, which was effectively occupied by Persia but remained relatively independent. The people there would not care about the orders of the Athenian nobility, and there was also a powerful magic academy there. ”

"Can I transfer to another magic academy?" Su Ye asked.

"At most, they are exchange students. Unless Master Plato speaks, you are born a mage of the academy and die a necromancer of the academy. Nedern said.

"You're so ruthless!" Su Ye Dao.

"By the way, if you still need anything, I'll have someone go to the magic market to buy some things for you."

Su Ye immediately said, "I have already made a list in the book, and now I will send it to you with a magic letter." ”

Nedern opened the magic letter and saw a dazzling list of dense magical items.

"Rich and amazing, huh? You're on the run, not playing a survival game. The total amount is halved, the quantity is halved, and it is so decided! ”

"Then I'll buy it myself!" Su Ye Dao.

"I'll send you to the sea directly when you go out, and you still want to go to the magic market? It's a beautiful idea. Nedern said.

"You won. Let's go now. Su Ye said.

"I'll send you on your way." Nedern Road.

"Nicer to say." Su Ye gave Nidern a blank look.

"I'm glad to see you on your way." Nedern is serious.
