Chapter Eighty-Eight: Victor's Choice
"I didn't spread rumors! I didn't lie!"
Seeing that Victor's sword was about to be chopped, Crazy Jack suddenly had the courage to come out of nowhere, gritted his teeth, stared at his eyes, and shouted hysterically. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Victor's hands stopped in mid-air, gritting his teeth and looking at the crazy jack in front of him, his delicate facial features were a little distorted by extreme anger: "You still want to quibble when you are dying, and you and your accomplices shamelessly fabricate rumors that tarnish my mother's reputation, and say that you are not lying?"
"I just didn't lie, even if you killed me, I didn't lie!"
Although Crazy Jack was born tall and stout, he was essentially still a child of the same age as Victor and had just turned fourteen, and he was not yet fully mature mentally, and it was clear that it was a matter of life and death, but instead of thinking about how to get out of trouble, he was entangled with the other party about right and wrong:
"A lot of people in the town know, your sister, your neighbors, they're all hiding it from you, I'm just telling this fact to your face! You can kill me, but you can't say I'm lying!"
Victor held his sword, a little stunned for a moment.
He thought that when death was coming, the pampered soft egg of the lord's family in front of him would either be directly stunned, or he would cry and beg for mercy, but he didn't expect the other party to dare to argue so hard, is what he said true?
A chill slowly came down his spine.
The boy didn't dare to imagine how he would face the rumors about his mother being a "secret prostitute" once they became true.
He slowly turned his head and looked at his sister Rebecca, who did not speak, but his eyes were full of doubt.
He expected his sister to tell him categorically that what the guy was saying was not true, and then he would not hesitate to split Mad Jack and the little tree behind him in two with a single sword.
If you want to relieve the hatred in your heart, draw your sword and cut off the enemy.
But what did he see?
The two looked at each other, Rebecca quickly lowered her head, and Victor saw a complex emotion in her sister's eyes, which seemed to be ...... Mortified?
Sister is ashamed?
He looked at the other two people who were genuinely helping him, expecting them to give a definite answer.
But whether it was Sean, who was beating with the armor with his big nostrils, or Helen, who was holding a ball of flame in each hand and beckoning to the immobile guards, they all avoided Victor's puzzled gaze, intentionally or unintentionally.
The boy looked back at Mad Jack's expression for a moment.
He finally got it all.
It turned out that they all knew that only they were kept in the dark.
Tears immediately blurred the boy's eyes, his mind went blank, and the whole world fell silent, the sound of Crazy Jack's chattering in front of him, the tremor of Sean hitting the helmet with a blunt object on the big nostrils, and the wailing and begging for mercy of the guards under the scorching flames of magic, all turned into a silent picture in Victor's eyes in an instant.
......
"Victor, Rebecca, come and see what good food I've brought back. ”
"Wow, sturgeon pie, it's still steaming, it's so delicious!"
"Eat, kid, it's dinner at the Knight's house at Leiden in the west of town, and I've brought a few back. ”
"Mom, what are you doing at the knight's house?"
"Hmm... Forehead... I taught his children music. ”
"Mom, I broke the wooden sword at home, and I want a small iron sword. ”
"Iron Sword, well, to-morrow I'll go to Mr. Smith's workshop and see him...... Would you like to help you forge a handful? ”
......
Scenes of the past came to his mind, and Victor's heart was like a knife for a while.
"Victor, Victor, why are you stunned?"
An urgent call broke the boy's musings, and the space around him instantly returned to normal. Victor looked up to see that Sean and Helen had completely subdued Big Nostrils and his men, and they all fell to the ground one by one, unable to move. His sister Rebecca looked at him blankly with tears on her face, her face full of anxiety, but she didn't dare to speak. The crazy jack in front of him also stopped chattering, and looked at the sword in his hand with his hand over his thigh.
"Humph!"
A fierce glint flashed in the boy's eyes, and he once again raised the forbidden blood sword in his hand and approached Mad Jack.
"Don't... Other... Don't, Victor, calm down, I can give you money, my dad is the famous Rigan Deleman, he has a lot of money, I can let you and your sister have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, you can think about it again......!
Crazy Jack screamed in horror before he could finish his sentence, because Victor had already slashed at him with a sword!

Mad Jack held his head in his hands, shrunk into a ball in horror, and the small tree with the thick mouth of the bowl behind him was slashed by a sword from the place where it was grazing his scalp.
Mad Jack, who had survived the catastrophe, gasped for breath and looked in horror at the boy in front of him with eyes as sharp as lightning.
"Whether you are lying or not, my mother Jenny and Kowler's reputation cannot tolerate your kind of scum to be defiled! Victor finished coldly, staring at Jack Delman, who had been frightened and incontinent, with a sad face and nodding his head before turning and walking out of the woods.
......
"It's signed, Mr. Green. Rebecca pressed her handprint on a freshly written contract, blew it, and handed it over with both hands with a smile.
The gray-haired old merchant on the opposite side took the contract and folded it, opened his arms, hugged the girl in his arms, and patted her on the back gently: "Have a good trip, Rebecca, may the Father of all gods bless you." ”
"May the Father of all gods bless you too, Mr. Green. Rebecca and Victor saluted the old merchant and walked out of the fine tailor's hut side by side.
Victor raised his little face to look at the clear blue sky above his head and the green mountains and white clouds in the distance, and sighed: "I'm going to wander again, sister, it's all my fault." ”
"What are you talking about, silly boy, it's not the first time we've moved, and this time it's been easier with Mr. Tamble's magic bracelet. ”
"That's right. Victor said with a smile, and then frowned again, "I don't know what the place we're going to this time is, Sister Helen said that it is very far away, and you have to take a boat across the sea to get there." ”
"It's okay, Victor, I'll be there for you to take care of you wherever we go. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, like we're a place where birds don't. Helen took Sean's hand and walked over and protested coquettishly.
"No, no, we didn't mean that. Rebecca hurriedly waved her hand.
"It's okay, you don't care about this crazy girl, haha. Sean quipped, but then Helen was pinched hard in the gap in the chain mail on his waist.
Sean clutched his waist and asked Victor with a grin while dodging Helen's attack, "Have you really thought about it, the path you chose is actually not easy to take." ”
Victor nodded solemnly: "If you think about it, I will definitely work hard." ”
"Hard work is not enough. Sean suddenly put on a serious face, and slowly pulled out a silver staff inlaid with hedron from his bracelet.
"Before you start your path as a mage, I have a set of equipment for you. ”
