Chapter 114: Faith
After settling lunch in a humble tavern and getting the necessary information, Donner bought two horses in the harbor and headed north with Rickle.
In the following days, the two stayed along the way under different pseudonyms, until a dozen days later, they arrived at Posson, a small town in the hinterland of the Principality of Ukulele.
Then, under the pseudonym Kevin Bell, Donner bought a small estate in Posson City.
He paid with magic crystals, which was common in Cairns and would not arouse suspicion.
When he left the East, Gernada was given only a sword except for the way to restore his appearance.
At this time, in addition to some gold coins, Downer only had the money bag he had taken from Miss Theresa, and there were about a hundred magic crystals in the money bag, and he bought the manor and used half of them.
Rick didn't have any possessions on her at all, and once she left Donner, she probably wouldn't even be able to afford to eat, so she let Donner call the shots all the way, and didn't even ask why he chose the small town of Posson until she settled down in this manor.
Located on the southern outskirts of Person City (recently renamed Bell Manor), this small estate is a small but very much aesthetic for Donner.
Inside the fence for hundreds of meters, except for two eucalyptus trees, one tall and one low, all have manicured lawns, and the small white three-story building is slightly larger than the original residence of Mr. Victor.
Outside the manor, all but a path leading to the center of the city are low potions plantations.
The original owner of the estate wanted to keep a gardener and two maids, but Donner, at Reico's insistence, refused.
Neither had any luggage to settle in. After seeing off the original owner, he sat on the balcony on the third floor of the manor and took a nap. It's early summer, and the purple herbs of the Potions Plantation and the spires of Posson City are faintly visible. The colors are bright, like an impressionist painting.
"Why don't you want those servants?" asked Donner, confused.
"It's not like a good guy. Reiko's answer was simple and straightforward.
"What about eating?" Donner didn't argue with her, and the half-elf girl had proven her eyesight many times over the past ten days.
"I'll do it today, and tomorrow we'll go to the city and buy a few servants. ”
Donner glanced at the other party, he didn't expect such a beautiful girl to be able to cook.
"What do you see? I often cook for my mother. Rick thought of her mother, and felt a little lost.
These days. Reicor didn't talk about his background, and Donner didn't like to ask about privacy.
"What you said was very important, and you want to do it here?" the girl finally couldn't help but ask.
"That doesn't matter anymore. Downer replied.
"Then what are we doing here? You seem to have come here on purpose, not like you picked a random place. ”
"See that spire?" Donner pointed in the direction of Person City.
"Is it the church?"
"No, the spire of the church is golden. ”
"What's that?"
"Person Academy, the best magical potion academy in Middle-earth. ”
"You want to study pharmacy?"
"Well, I thought about it temporarily, and I don't know if I can get in. ”
"Don't forget, teach me magic. ”
"Yes. ”
Late at night. On the path leading to Person City, four dark shadows were walking in the direction of Bell Manor.
"Mage Therion, you say, will they see it? That little girl deliberately didn't let us stay. ”
The one who spoke. It was the gardener who was supposed to stay in the manor, and the Mage of Selion in his mouth was the "original owner" who sold the manor to Donner.
"No, it won't. They are instinctively defensive, after all, they are not familiar with the place. It's normal to have such thoughts. ”
"Yes, two little aliens. What is there to be afraid of. Last time, the third-level magician was not killed by us. "This is a maid on the estate.
"That mage was poisoned by us. The gardener argued.
"Don't you want to do it?" asked Seleone coldly.
"No, no, no, I mean, we can observe for two more days. ”
"Hmph, I don't have that much time! The end of the month is the time to enter the academy, and if you don't have enough magic crystals, you have to wait for half a year. ”
The gardener finally stopped talking.
Donner didn't fall asleep, he lit the candle and opened his mother's letter again.
After coming to this world, the old blacksmith raised him for ten years, giving him the warmth of family affection that he had never felt before, and Donner already regarded him as a real father.
But he is actually very unfamiliar with the "mother" he has never met, and it is difficult to connect this dead woman with the role of mother.
So at the beginning of the letter, the bits and pieces of her nostalgia for her two children before she died were not particularly important to Donner.
But the explanation of her own life experience in the letter made Donner's long-standing doubts all explained.
This part of the letter reads:
......
Child, I hesitated for a long time, and I didn't know whether to tell you or not.
However, if you can read the words of the letter and speak it to you, it should be fine, and if you are unfortunate enough to become a magician, then these contents are even more important.
Here's the thing.
I am the youngest daughter of a low-ranking nobleman in the Munch Empire in the north of the Kaios Continent, and like other noble children, when I was thirteen years old, I was sent to the magic academy to study magic, but unfortunately, I had no talent for magic, so a year later, I left there.
Since then, my interest has been in painting, and my father was very fond of me, and with his ability, he hired the best painting teacher for me, oh, what a talented painter, his paintings are so simple, but so beautiful.
I studied painting for three years, but one day, I had a whim, I wanted to use the simple brushstrokes of my teacher to draw the appearance of magic elements. I don't know how this idea came about, but it was the thought that killed my whole family.
I depicted each of the five primitives with the simplest lines, and not only that, but I even experimented with magic gold, and I thought that primitives should be that simple.
Kid, you can't imagine what will happen when I do this.
Obviously I have no talent for magic, but at the age of seventeen, I actually condensed the wood type of divine element overnight, and not only that, but a month later, I was already a magic apprentice.
I came to the Academy of Magic with this news, and the whole academy was a sensation, but then ......
And then tragedy happened, the black-clad scimitar-wielding killers killed the entire Academy of Magic, and, my parents, my brother, oh my God, those demons, they killed almost everyone I knew.
But they didn't kill me, they tortured me and told me where I learned that kind of primitive.
But how can I answer, I came up with it myself.
Child, as you already know, I'm not dead.
Just as I was about to die, a returning mage saved me.
He fled with me, along the Sea of Oblivion to the west, and finally left me near the island of Lante.
Oh, kid, don't think that's a good guy, I didn't know until the end that he had a purpose, and he saved me to get the secret of the element.
Son, I've been hurt ever since, and I know that I don't live long, and in the years I've often wondered why, why those killers are coming to kill me.
Now, I'm dying, and I'll never be able to figure out the secret.
Child, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled, I can still remember my parents and brother when I close my eyes now, but I don't even know why.
Child, I am not writing this to want you to avenge me, promise me that you will never avenge me, those killers are too powerful.
But what if one day, you can know, what is all this for, come to my grave and tell me, okay?
