Chapter 15: If Life Is Only as First Seen
[The first meeting is the most hasty encounter] Because it is written about the childhood of a little friend, it is mainly a story of four supporting characters, and there will be no protagonists, and it is also written about their childhood before entering the magic elementary school.
On this day, 3-year-old Insest was taking a walk, or rather sneaking out to hang out.
He has been tested for magical qualifications since birth, although it is only ordinary, but it is enough to make the Newton family, a group that has not been born with a magician bloodline for a long time, feel happy. From an early age, Insest had high hopes that he would be able to regain the glory of the Newton lineage.
For this reason, the people of the Newton family can be said to be crazy, all kinds of things about magic, or about family history, basic knowledge of the continent, etc., and let the 3-year-old Insest learn it one by one.
In Edison's words, it would be a madness! But that's what the Newton family did, whether the whole family couldn't stand the gap from the lineage to the side branch, or whether a mage seedling suddenly became excited.
In their eyes, Insest is a noble, mysterious, and powerful magician in the future! A little magical knowledge, even if you add family history and basic knowledge of the continent, it is not a problem.
Isn't the magician such an extraordinary existence in people's minds? An abnormal frenzy permeated the family. But no one noticed, or could not change anything.
And the most important person, Insest Newton, is too young, even if he has magical qualifications, he can only passively accept the family's arrangement.
Therefore, sneaking out to hang out every day has become the only time in Insester's subconscious to get freedom and peace, but this time, that bit of peace has also been ruthlessly broken.
Insest saw a chubby little child, about six or seven years old, with two children who were seven or eight years old, kicking and beating a child who was about a little bit older.
What was even more unacceptable to Insest was that the child was even smaller than him. (PS: Although Insest was 3 years old at this time, because of good nutrition and long-term etiquette practice.) In Edison's previous life, it is said that when he was seven or eight years old, some people believed that as long as he wore the right clothes and lived a miniature version of the upper-class nobleman, the aura could be said to be full of shock. )
For the first time in his life, Insest felt anger. "Stop!" blurted out the words, and the anger in that voice startled even Insest himself, for the first time, Insest found himself able to roar so loudly.
But the good etiquette education allowed Insest to quickly adjust his gaffe, and then he changed to a slightly serious tone and asked, "What mistake did he make, you want to beat him like that, can you tell me the reason?"
The chubby little kid looked at the two frightened little brothers beside him, and then at Insest's gorgeous clothes and calm aura.
After hesitating, he decided to tell the truth, so he pointed to the child on the ground and said disdainfully: "He is a wild bastard without a mother's upbringing, and no one will care if he is killed." This was said naturally, without feeling a trace of guilt, which was simply chilling.
For the first time, Seist felt that there was an evil fire burning in his heart, and he actually did not have a mother, because his father told him that his mother died in childbirth when he was born.
It was also the first time that in a short period of time, Insest felt his emotions lose control twice. At this time, Insester tried his best to restrain his anger, and said in a depressed tone: "Just because he doesn't have a mother, you can beat him like that, it doesn't matter if you kill him?"
It was only three short questions, but Insest's tone became stronger and stronger. In the end, even Insest himself didn't notice, and he unknowingly released the first family level 0 trick in his life - [Elementary Gravity Technique].
In an instant, the three children on the opposite side all lay down at once, and because of his young age, Insester forcibly cast a spell and fainted.
After a while, following the faint fluctuation of magic power, the butler of the Newton family arrived. At that time, what appeared in front of the housekeeper was this scene:
The three unknown children were lying on the ground, while the thin little child was trying to pull Insest under the small tree by the side of the road, and the dirty cloth wrapped his thin body, but the little child was too thin.
The housekeeper of the Newton family looked at the scene, combined with the thin children's drawings and words, and finally restored the general idea of the matter.
At this time, the three children who fell to the ground were also found by passers-by, but everyone only dared to watch, but none of them dared to step forward to help them. The housekeeper looked at the lively crowd a little speechlessly, and could only say: "Today, our Newton family took over this matter, these three children just fainted, it's no big deal, I want to take my young master and this child back, if there is anything, go to the Newton family to say!"
As he spoke, he held Insest in one hand, picked up the skinny child with the other, and walked out of the crowd of onlookers.
Suddenly, the butler stopped again, and said to the people who were still around him from time to time with their eyes on him: "Those three children on the ground, if anyone knows them, call the parents over and send them home!"
The eyes of the onlookers then turned from the butler to the three children, only to find ...... What about the three children lying on the ground?
It turned out that Inseyster, who had performed the [Elementary Gravity Technique] for the first time, was really not very powerful in the level 0 trick, and the three children on the ground were actually just made to fall by the strange force, and then fainted in fright.
There were more people, and the three of them had already woken up.
But at this time, the housekeeper came, and after some seemingly kind but domineering words, they also knew that they had provoked the wrong person, so they could only continue to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
Then, I found that the housekeeper walked away with the two people, and everyone's eyes were focused on the housekeeper, and the three little ones immediately got up and sneaked away, and even their parents didn't dare to tell them when they went home.
It is precisely because of this that when the crowd turns around, they will find that the three children are gone, and when they have to look back for the housekeeper, they have long since disappeared.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to see, the crowd of onlookers had to gradually disperse.
At this time, everyone didn't realize that a long-standing grudge and a hidden past would be turned over, causing a lot of turmoil in the local area. Two or three years later, it would lead to a tragedy.
......
After let's move the scene back to the butler bringing back the two children, in the study of the patriarch of the Newton family's Western Continent. Now there are only two people here;
The housekeeper and current patriarch of the family, and the current patriarch is Inseyster's biological father, Anse El Newton.
Butler: "The matter is clear, the identity of the child saved by the young master is a little special." ”
Patriarch: "I've probably heard from the servants who went out about this, but what else do you want you to come and run?!" Insey can save people, has compassion, and has a sense of justice, which is good! I also plan to find him a playmate. ”
Ansel Newton (patriarch) is really happy, but the real reason is that Insest can perform the elementary gravity technique at the age of 3, which shows that Insester's understanding of magic is very high, and the cultivation of the family is worthwhile, and he is one step closer to the rise of the family......
The housekeeper looked at the patriarch's face, although he didn't want to spoil his good mood, but this matter still had to be left to the patriarch to decide, so he could only bite the bullet and say:
"That's right, the full name of the person rescued by the young master should be Paul Aristotle, and the child's current nominal biological father is also the father of the child who took the lead in beating him, which means that the person who beats and the person who is beaten should be brothers. ”
Anse El raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh! that's weird, tell me all you know." ”
As he spoke, his expression became serious, after all, the matter involved the Aristotle family, so ...... What about the boy named Paul......
After that, an intricate family emotional entanglement ethical drama came out of the housekeeper's mouth, which greatly satisfied the gossip of the patriarch. (See Chapter 15.5 below)
At the end of the sentence, the butler concluded: "Therefore, this matter involves the grievances of the previous generation of the Aristotle family and the Plato family, if those two families come to ask for someone......"
But at this time, Ansel stretched his brows, waved his hand a little indifferently, and said: "Okay, I know all this, Insester was able to successfully perform the primary gravity technique at the age of 3, which shows that he has an extraordinary understanding, although limited by qualifications, the growth time will be a little slower, but it is not impossible to be like those magicians in history, and take our team to regain the glory of the ancestors." Tell him what he is, see what he does, and then report back to me. ”
The butler could only nod, and turned around and retreated with some embarrassment.
For a long time, in the quiet study, Ansel Newton muttered to himself, "Hey, magician, if it weren't for the ...... I don't know if I will live to see the day when the little guy leads the family back to the Central Continent...... Sallyster (Inseyster's mother's name): You have to bless this child to mature as soon as possible!"
......
On the other side, Insest had slowly woken up at this time, and he smelled a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, which was the remnant of the burning incense made of requiem grass after it was ignited.
For low-level magicians, this is one of the best ways to eliminate the energy drain that comes with meditation. An incense burner like this outside is priceless for ordinary people.
But here it is used to soothe the fatigue of Inseyster, who is still only a magic apprentice, and this thing is usually a luxury that even a full-fledged magician would have saved.
However, these are the necessary prices to pay for learning magic before the age of 5, after all, for most people, they don't know if they have magical talent before the age of 5, and if they want to practice casting spells, the burden on the young body and brain will increase, so practicing magic from an early age is a very luxurious behavior, even the average magician family can't do it, after all, the cost is too high.
If it weren't for the fact that they were once descendants of the Newton family, and he was the only one in these generations who could learn magic, it would not have been Inseyster's turn to enjoy this kind of treatment.
In the blink of an eye, evening came, and after Insest had eaten, he finally saw the butler who had come back to him after running errands. Insest asked anxiously, "Is the kid okay?"
The housekeeper couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master, you are still a child yourself! That child is good, but his identity is a little ......" said that his face was a little gloomy.
When the butler finished talking about Paul's life entanglement, although there was no exaggeration or exaggeration, Inseyster's mood still changed, and that was the first time he experienced that feeling of sadness with a little sympathy, although in the future, this feeling would appear many times.
But for the current Inseyster, the feeling of being choked by something made his little face wrinkle. The housekeeper seemed to see that Insest couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly said:
"Actually, if it is just to improve Paul's life, the family is still very good, but the trouble is that his surname is 'Aristotle', and if his nominal relatives come to the door, we will be at a loss, after all, it is someone else's family matter. The patriarch said that this matter will be handled by you, I wonder if you have any good solutions, young master?"
Insest was silent for about a quarter of an hour, and then said, "Grandpa butler, please go and find out who else is on Paul's mother's side, and if there are any, tell them what Paul is doing, and see if they are willing to adopt him." ”
"If there is no one, explain this to the patriarchs of the Platonic family, and by the way, reveal to them that I have magical qualifications, and say that I am looking for a playmate, and I believe they will be willing to help. ”
After all, Paul's birth mother was dead, but his father was so ...... I don't think even people in the same family would like this to happen. ”
Inseyster's words are well-founded and well-organized, and he doesn't look like a 3-year-old child.
But the housekeeper didn't think it was strange, but sighed in satisfaction that Inseyster's precociousness and wit could come up with such a way in a short period of time, although he used some family intelligence and power, but he did what he wanted to do with the least effort, and he didn't ask the adults for help at all.
"What the demeanor of the head of the future clan!" The butler, who was full of emotion, became more and more respectful, and he bowed slightly to Insest and said, "Okay, young master, your will will be fulfilled. After speaking, he retired with a solemn expression.
And the butler, who lowered his head at this time, of course would not see that his last respectful tone and actions did not actually bring any sense of accomplishment to Inseyster, but instead made him show an extremely troubled and slightly sad expression.
Three days later, a man named Curtiz Plato came to Incester with a well-dressed Paul who had come to thank Incester Newton.
Curtiss Plato, Paul's biological mother, Heber Plato's own brother, although he was only a second-level warrior, was a very talented apothecary apothecary, and had outstanding talents for those low-level potions that did not require mental power to participate.
Many magicians lamented that he had no magical qualifications, but he himself won the favor of many high-level pharmacists with his dedication to potions.
As a result, many high-level apothecaries will ask him to process materials when making potions, and the materials he has processed are said to help the success rate of magic potions.
In the magic potion industry of the Western Continent, Curtiss Plato has a wide range of connections and is respected as "the best apothecary partner".
And because of his sister's escape from marriage, he has always felt guilty about Paul's biological father, the family of Bard Aristotle. But now, not necessarily...... So, the whole thing is easier to deal with than Incester imagined.
Curtiss Plato, who came to the door now, came with gratitude. After a conversation, Incest was slightly disappointed that he had to wait for Paul to be his playmate, after all, Paul was born deficient, and he was not properly taken care of after birth, so it was a miracle that he could survive until now.
Paul now seems to be in good health, but his organs have prematurely decayed, and the muscle tissue of his body is full of dark wounds, and he needs careful care.
For this reason, Insester also sent a superb ink jade liquid, which he used to soak in the bath when he was born, the medicine is mild, although the potion material is not expensive, the prescription is only circulated among the big families, there is no such medicine in the world, and now the ink jade liquid is used to regulate Paul's body is the best.
This also made Curtiss Plato even more grateful to the young master of the Newton family after seeing the prepared potion.
If it weren't for Insest's involvement in this matter, it is estimated that when Paul died, Curtiz Plato would have been kept in the dark, and he would have been stupidly guilty about the Bard family. Now it's a timely delivery of such a magic potion, it's really ......
And when he learned that Insest had started learning magic at a young age, Curtiss Plato went back and sent a "Magic Body Shaping Potion", which can greatly lay a deeper physical foundation for preschool magic apprentices and reduce the burden on the body of learning magic at an early age.
Ansel Newton was pleased with this result, both as a father and as a patriarch, and that he had connections, face, and kindness, and that Insest had handled things perfectly.
Ansel Newton was delighted and granted Insest two hours of free time a day, and it was then that Insest had the opportunity to come into contact with the publication The Blind Mage.
