Chapter 15 They are all bitter children
In this turbulent world of force, learned people often have a well-off family or a far-sighted elder. Albert belongs to the latter www.biquge.info is a descendant of the declining minor aristocracy. In order to restore the family's glory, the elder Willoka called on the family to shrink their clothes and go on a diet so that their son could attend a first-class college. Albert lived up to his expectations and excelled in his grades, but the fault was that when he was young, he had a tragic love affair with a noble lady of a rather prominent family. The woman's fiancé used his power to let Albert enjoy the disaster of innocent imprisonment for five years, and when he was released from prison, not only did he have a bleak future because of his criminal record, but also learned that the old Willoka had died in shame and that his sweetheart had married a wife. Albert traveled away in a rage and met the wandering mage Tu Hein, who led him to the threshold of magic.
From the point of view of a single profession, the mage is a 'money-burning' profession, and if you don't plan to use fireball magic for a lifetime, you have to spend money to buy the corresponding potions, utensils, crystals, and other valuable things. Where does the money come from? Especially the original money. After all, not everyone has a magical experience. Albert could only save slowly. This savings is ten years, and Albert is now thirty-six years old, and even many archmages are ashamed to see it with strong magical reserves, and even low-level mages are disdainful of their weapons and equipment. Don't ask why you haven't had any money after ten years of saving, if you have old and young to support, you have to eat and drink, and you will inevitably encounter a situation where the stirrups are broken...... You know how expensive it is. Isn't there a saying that people can't get rich without foreign wealth? It's not that people go the wrong way, but it's basically very difficult to save up a lot of money.
In fact, not only Albert, but almost all of his companions were born as bitter children. Stephanie, who has shouldered the burden of the family since she was a child, has a younger brother and two younger sisters and a lot of things. Hughes, his father is going to learn a good skill, he inherits the family's grocery store, isn't this sincere tether to the wings of the young man's dreams? The dwarf Bender, the hammer, and the great furnace tribe who only believed in the main gods Moradin and Maya, actually produced a devout believer like him (Thautam priesthood: magic, darkness, realm: earth, luck, magic, dwarven gods of medium divine power), it was as if someone among the Puritans suddenly shouted: "Everything is hypocrisy except Jesus Christ!" is unbearable for his people. The dwarf's unique stubbornness makes him a wanderer who has no home to return to. Not to mention the half-orc Solander, this half-breed whose father is an orc and whose mother is a human has been despised and abused since he was a child, if it weren't for the old leader of the mercenary group who adopted him, there would probably be another evil half-orc in the world who gave up on himself. Therefore, after the old regiment leader died in the battle against the aliens, Solandar single-handedly contracted to support his family.
"It's not easy for everyone!" exclaimed Fahnie, who knew a few people from Stephanie.
Li Yunxin said: "I'm afraid it's another precursor to the overflow of love." Sincerely, there is not a single person out of 30,000 or 50,000 people who pin their heads to their trouser belts every day. It doesn't matter if you're a bandit or a thug, which one doesn't have a bit of tragedy?"
"Albert, do you have the impression that there is anything suitable for me to 'sightsee' in the Misty Canyon?" Li Yun deliberately said the word sightseeing so heavily that a fool could understand that he didn't really want to sightsee, but wanted to kill something to have fun. However, when he said this now, he was more suspicious of the interruption.
Albert is a fire mage, and he deeply understands the power of fire, but when he gets along with Li Yun, he feels that it is more mysterious than playing with fire. Looking at this special hobby who turned from a crocodile man to a bear man, Albert's words were always with twelve points of caution. "Sir, as far as I know, the Misty Canyon is known for its lingering mountain fog all year round. Although this is a forest, because it is an extension and expansion of the primeval forest's 'dark green danger', it is inevitable that some high-level magical beasts will appear here. Because of this uncertain factor, people with high ability will directly enter the 'dark green danger', and people with insufficient ability are afraid of bad luck and are not willing to go deeper, and in the long run, I believe that there should be some rare vegetation in the deep mountains that Mr. is willing to collect. But jungle headhunters are also often active in the mountains, so I'm afraid you need to be careful with their blow arrows. ”
"Hmm! Sounds interesting. I've decided to go into the mountains tomorrow to collect some fish. After Li Yun finished speaking, he walked to a stone platform and enjoyed the moonlight.
Handing a piece of roasted golden mountain pork leg to the appetizing Solanda, Stephanie glanced at Li Yun in the moonlight, turned to Faheri beside him and said, "Your husband seems to be an arrogant and arbitrary person!"
Fahni is now accustomed to the title 'your husband'. However, some people say that Li Yun's is not, but she wants to resolutely protest. "It's arrogance, not arrogance, and Mr. always thinks things out after careful consideration. Sister Stephanie, you think that way because you don't know ......."
"Fahni, it's time for us to rest, we still have a mountain trail to go tomorrow, we have to refresh our spirits, we can't drag everyone down!" Lana interrupted Fahni. She is more rational and vigilant than Fahney. It's okay to talk about her children's private conversations, but when it comes to topics that are related to personal privacy, she will always find a way to cut them off or lead them to something else.
With Stephanie's experience, of course, she understood Lana's true intentions, so she smiled and said, "Yes! The mountain road is not easy to walk, it is very laborious, and you need to sharpen a wooden stick to help." Let's go and rest!"
"I'm back!" shouted Bender, the dwarf who had followed Bukacs to their camp in front of the swamp to fetch their luggage rolls. has a lot of strength, and there is a pair of silk magic combat boots with an acceleration effect, and the work of carrying the bag is of course handed over to him. And being able to ride a lizard when you go is really not a tiring thing.
"Sit down, the best of the craggy pigs have left you a big chunk! and grilled fish......" Solanda said enthusiastically, taking the big bag. Everyone laughed, these two guys were big meals, and food and heavy weapons were the most common topics of discussion among them.
When the three of Fahne went to rest in their tent, Stephanie whispered to her companions, "They are not here to explore or hunt for curiosities. The first preparation is too inadequate. Second, they're always on the road......"
"Alright, Stephanie! you've done it again!" Albert almost rudely stopped Stephanie from continuing the conversation, which was rare before. "Obviously, people don't want us to know too much and don't believe us. Curiosity kills, and have you so quickly forgotten the first time you met that man who seemed to have a curious mind? The only thing we need to do is to do everything we can to let people know that we have no ill will. As for safety, I think it would be foolish to try to harass our group, except for the fact that Ethan Rey, the owner of the Dark Green Danger, happened to be in the Misty Canyon. Old friends, although I have said it many times, I repeat it now: we are engaged in a high-risk profession, curiosity and windfall are the property of adventurers, we are mercenaries, do what we need to do, take the money we deserve, this is our professional credo and basic principle. I will not allow any harm to this small collective. ”
"Understood, Captain!" and several of them made it clear that they understood what Albert meant. Even Bender, whose mouth was stuffed with big meat, was vaguely agreed.
Li Yun, who was more than twenty meters away, nodded secretly: "It's a bit brainy." People who are reckless and lack of thinking are only suitable for being cannon fodder, and that kind of existence is never lacking. Albert is a junior officer with potential!huh."
After accepting Julio's memory, Li Yun's thinking pattern has changed subtly. Unlike Li Yun's lone heroes before, Julio, as a necromancer, is definitely the one who calls for the back. Although Li Yun was not affected by Julio's emotional imprint in any way, the objective memory still made Li Yun realize the importance of his subordinates, and combined with the various things in the Parotis blood clan before, he became more and more aware that the reason why he used to be a lone hero and did not feel the slightest unease was precisely because the strong support of the family solved trivial problems such as secret places, weapons, dealing with the aftermath, food sources and so on, and he himself was just standing at a point that was only responsible for solving problems related to the battle. Now, they have to be self-sufficient in eating, drinking, and dressing, and the old way of life is no longer applicable. So, with the mentality that the necromancer would take materials nearby, Li Yun was ready to try to see if he could absorb Albert and his gang and become his help.
"If you can survive the test of tomorrow, let's start with the simplest employment relationship!" Li Yun thought silently.
