Chapter 39 The Shop
"Brother Sean, please go and sit over there."
Seeing Sean walk into the store, Shanna suddenly smiled, jumped over, and held Sean's hand tightly.
"Shanna, don't be so rude."
Tarig cried out helplessly, he was busy in the kitchen, and he didn't have time to take care of his granddaughter.
"It's okay, it's cute for children to be lively."
Sean said with a smile, and sat down casually.
The grandparents met Sean at the night market on Celebration Day a few months ago, when they were just stalling on the street and are now able to rent a storefront.
The old man's name was Tarig, he had no surname, his hometown was far away, and he had come here with a caravan a few years ago.
He endured all his life, and his only son died in an accident, leaving only a granddaughter who had no one to take care of him.
For the sake of the two of them, Tarig can only run around, trying to make some money, because he has a good cooking hand, after making a small amount of money from setting up a stall, he began to try to expand the scale.
The food they cook is cheap and their business is booming, so their lives are gradually moving out of poverty and towards a well-off life.
Sean is too lazy to cook himself, so he often runs outside to eat.
Tarig is a place he frequents, and every time he comes over, he will give a little more to take care of the grandchildren.
In the absence of conflicting interests, Sean is actually a good person.
Ordinary people have no competition with him, and they will not pose a threat to him, as long as he is happy, he does not mind giving these people at the bottom a little help that is insignificant to him.
Shanna carefully brought a bowl of steaming wheat porridge to Sean's table, which she ate relatively lightly because it was morning.
Sitting across from Sean, Shanna gently blew on her reddened palms and looked at Sean expectantly.
"Next time, don't use your hands directly, I'll perform other spells for you."
Saying this, Sean was a little helpless.
When he came to dinner a few days ago, this little girl was accidentally burned while helping, and he casually used a spell to heal her.
As a result, her curiosity was piqued at once, and every time Sean came to dinner, Shanna would get a little injury, and then look at Sean with a blank eye, and Sean had to cry and laugh and throw a healing spell over.
"Shanna, come over to me!"
Tarig, who was busy, noticed what was going on here, and immediately got angry and tried to drag Shanna away.
"Lord Sean, this kid is so disobedient that he's causing you trouble."
"It's not troublesome, I'm pretty happy."
Sean raised his hand to stop Tarig and pulled Shanna to his side.
As the quality of life gradually improved, Shanna's little face was much rounder than before, and she no longer looked malnourished.
"Apprentice Spell – Healing Waves"
The complex Byronic language came out of Sian's mouth, and Sean deliberately extended the time for chanting the incantation to make it sound mysterious and quaint.
Stretching out his finger and lightly tapping in front of Shanna, a circle of visible fluctuations spread out, covering Shanna's hands.
Healing Waves are continuous spells that become progressively stronger with more mana inputted, making them ideal for treating such minor injuries.
Her originally red palm quickly returned to its original state, and she only felt something cool caressing her hand.
Shanna's eyes widened, staring at the whole process of Sean's spell casting, her eyes full of envy and yearning.
"What's wrong? Do you want to learn? ”
Sean asked with a hint of a smile when he saw this.
"I want to learn!"
Shanna put her hands together and nodded vigorously, looking well-behaved.
Although she is still young, she has gradually understood the status of professionals in this world, but despite this, she doesn't even know whether she has qualifications because of her family's poor conditions.
Sean's words filled her with joy, maybe she also has the opportunity to become a professional, and at that time, she must take her grandfather to live in a big house, eat delicious food every day, and not have to work as hard as now.
"Hmm...... Then try it, although it's unlikely......"
Sean sighed, every ordinary person wants to be a professional, but there are very few people with qualifications, and after being tested with great anticipation, only disappointment is ushered in in the end.
He stretched out his hands and stroked the little girl's head.
"Apprentice Spell - Soul Detection"
The spell model gradually coalesced, spinning and absorbing the surrounding aether.
Sean was holding the spell model while thinking about something.
Suddenly, there seemed to be an accident somewhere, and the entire spell model gradually shook and began to show signs of collapse.
Sean was startled and quickly focused his attention, but it was too late at this time.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang in his head, and the entire spell model suddenly exploded, and the raging aether raged, making Sean snort.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Shanna looked at her worriedly.
"It's fine."
Sean's face was pale and his mind was a little groggy as he closed his eyes and tried to repair the wounds.
The previous spell casting was too smooth, which made his mentality a little wrong, and he tried difficult spells at will without any preparation, and even didn't pay attention enough.
Well, the failure of the spell caused Sean's soul to be traumatized, although the impact is not great, and he can recover in a few days when he goes back to recuperate, but now his state has declined, and it is difficult to successfully use the soul detection technique.
"Hmm...... If it doesn't work, forget it. ”
Shanna was a little sad, she thought that Sean behaved like this because she didn't have the qualifications to become a professional.
Although she guessed this possibility early on, she is a very strong child, and even if she can't become a professional, she will work hard to live and live happily with her grandfather.
Sean rubbed his brow, didn't say anything, lowered his head and went to drink the porridge in the bowl.
Forget it, anyway, there will only be one professional in every 5,000 people, even if it is converted to the registered population, it is 1 in 2,000, and the probability that Shanna is talented is too low.
Thinking so, Sean drank the porridge in one go, and walked out of the store in a trance, his home has a potion to speed up the recovery of soul injuries, hoping to return to normal quickly after taking it.
……
Sean's injuries healed quickly and he fully recovered in less than two days.
In the days that followed, he would still go to Tarig's restaurant every day to eat.
Since that day, Shanna has never mentioned becoming a professional to Sean again, and as time went on, Sean gradually forgot about it.
The river of time flows forward eternally, and nothing seems to change, but it is as if there is a big hand behind the scenes, so that something is missed.
