Chapter 5: Adoptive Father
After a simple recovery treatment of the Sage, and after the staff explained to Dibo that he would continue the loser's trial tomorrow, he left the arena and stood on the street again, took off his academy uniform and changed back into his own clothes, and his body was so simple and inconspicuous. So much so that the hundreds of thousands of spectators who left the audience did not notice that the center of their discussion, either cursing or approving, was right next to them.
Dipo has always felt that he is as ordinary and ordinary as the children in the countryside around him, and the only difference may be that he has a powerful adoptive father.
Yes, adoptive father. He has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has always known it. His adoptive father never hid it from him, he was an orphan picked up by his adoptive father when he went hunting in the mountains.
The once powerful and unified human alliance began to collapse due to the rise of the subversive demon race in the central kingdom Di Rowan one hundred and ten years ago, and now in this turbulent era, the demon humans on the chaotic continent have been fighting each other for many years, and even the human kingdom itself has begun to be divided and contradictory.
The number of orphans abandoned by the war is incalculable. Tragedies are happening all the time. So I'm lucky in this regard.
A remote countryside in the middle of the desert and the Gobi. When I was born as a baby, I was somehow abandoned on the surrounding cliffs, and in this almost certain death situation, I was miraculously not eaten by wild beasts and was still found and adopted, and my adoptive father was so powerful......
No one in the village knew the details of his adoptive father, but he only knew that his adoptive father was also a foreigner who had just moved there before picking him up.
It is said that a soldier who was seriously injured in the war was discharged from the army and retired.
Because his entire right arm and right leg are half gone, he can only rely on prostheses to move, which usually seems very inconvenient.
But even so, when he came, all kinds of beasts and low-level monsters in the desert never disturbed Fogate again, and the militia saw his adoptive father several times, just relying on a firewood knife to stand still, and with a wave of it, the beasts that flew dozens of feet away were broken in two, and became the food of the adoptive father at night. In addition, the adoptive father, who is usually honest and kind, quickly integrated into the villagers, so the whole village respects the adoptive father very much, and has not discriminated against the two because he is disabled and he is an abandoned son.
As he grew older, Debo became more aware of his adoptive father's power – and he began to nurture himself with a display of knowledge and power that no one in this remote village could match. What he showed in front of the villagers could be described as a casual and ordinary ability to breathe and eat.
Although he was extremely harsh and almost cruel when he was trained, as long as he was not a dutiful father when he was trained, he let himself feel cared for and taught himself the righteousness of being a human being, which was everything he grew up with.
And half a year ago, his adoptive father told him that it had been almost eighteen years since he picked him up, and he was already an adult. I should have taught everything I should have taught myself, so I hope that I will come to the holy capital of this empire like a man, and find the meaning of my existence in the world, instead of nesting in this small village for the rest of my life.
So the adoptive father recently applied for the relevant certificates for himself, requiring himself to go to the most famous arena there to prove himself first. Although he was reluctant to grow up in his hometown, his father's expectations would definitely be followed and fulfilled, so he set out on a journey after his coming-of-age ceremony.
The adoptive father could give him just a modest amount of food and a few silver coins, as well as a few maps of the distance and the holy capital.
Although his adoptive father was in the township of Fgatet, after all, there was a shortage of supplies, so every year he would go out every few months to go to the town on the other side of the desert Gobi to buy a backpack of necessities.
As he said, sometimes he would go to the Holy Capital. So I have more or less expectations for the appearance of big towns and cities in my adoptive father's mouth.
As he went through this journey himself, he was once again amazed at the strength of his father, who had spent three months in the desert that he could cross in a day.
Maybe the adoptive father showed only a very small side in front of him? I thought about it more than once when I was walking through the desert. (End of Chapter 5)
