Chapter 15: The Day in the Year 516 of the Eternal Calendar
The Viscount Max's mansion, which was destined to be quiet and quiet, set off another stormy wave, and the whispering and whispering were like stars under the night sky, which was hard to measure with human intelligence, and the night sky would also mean that tomorrow would be a fine day with clear skies, because everyone was entitled to smile at the old Viscount Goulett.
"That guy who dug out of the soil is really a bastard, he can't see any bird use on weekdays, but I didn't expect this waste to be a complete beast, he used a purple gold coin to deceive a poor girl's **, and what makes people even more angry is that he shamelessly brought her back!
A young maid said indignantly.
She was surrounded by a group of guys with a strong sense of justice, all of whom were pouring gold and destroying bones. In the blink of an eye, Max Emery has made the perfect transition from an idle boy to a perverted beast inferior to a pig and a dog.
Even everybody had forgotten that the guy they were talking about was only a seven-year-old child, but apparently the only detail that made people worthy of tolerance was also ignored by them, because some tiny specks of dust were not important to them as a group of pure-hearted defenders, and it was a thrilling and enjoyable thing to stand on the high ground and look down on those upper echelons with filthy souls, although they had to face it as birds chirping under other people's roofs. In the future, I will serve the beast that is not as good as the pig and dog' and 'carefully clean every corner of the mansion'.
The cusp is too dangerous, and it is not suitable to look up to the world.
Besides, Li Laifu is not interested in intersecting too much with this group of lower-class characters who are only temporary, you must know that they widen their eyes every day to find enough targets to criticize. Where will you understand what is really right and wrong, so this little guy who is gorgeously dressed and well-behaved simply discarded the big hat of the initiator, and led the poor little girl to hide in his own world, as for the troubles and countless gossip behind him, Li Laifu believes that a certain old fox will solve it beautifully
A small abandoned attic in Max's mansion.
Whenever it comes to this confined space where the sun can't shine, the secretive appearance of the servants in Max's mansion always makes people feel an inexplicable coldness, as if this small abandoned wooden house has a power similar to the legendary 'Dry Bone Fortress' in the mainland.
In fact, this is just the leisure product of those who have nothing to do, and if you look at it from an outsider with normal eyes, in fact, there are often some interesting stories in this attic.
"Hey, you know the 'Never Give Up' game? It's just a dirty-looking little black ball tumbling over obstacle after obstacle, oh, I can't jump over any of them, but, like the name suggests, I always like to lose and I can't stop. β
The little girl shook her head and widened her eyes, and her pure black eyes made Li Laifu feel a burst of despair.
But he still wants to keep trying.
"Okay, let's change the subject, maybe you've heard of a creature called 'Dragon', uh, it's the legendary magical beast with a golden light, no, it's not a magical beast, it's not the kind of guy who looks like a lizard, just forget it, the weather is really good today, okay, I'm tired, you go play your harp." Ignore me. β
Li Laifu's hoarse voice is like a radio without electricity, muttering the last bit of life in loneliness, if he hadn't met this little girl, he believed that he could suppress some kind of tormenting emotions for a longer time, but unfortunately fate has to sprinkle some disgusting guy in your bowl of porridge, so that you will never forget that the world will always like those guys who will show a sycophant smile, the fatal thing is that Li Laifu was once a heartless little person, but as a villain who has read a few books, he is not willing to make his handsome face public casuallyγ
There's a saying, hide your sharpness in your chest, even if you have to become the guy you used to hate the most, you have to do it perfectly.
Hearing Li Laifu's angry muttering, the little girl blushed, and she looked like a frightened hedgehog, curled up, holding a dilapidated harp and sitting aside, occasionally glancing at the big eyes of the water as if in a certain direction, there were people she cared about, although she didn't notice it herself.
Li Laifu couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect that because of his momentary gaffe, he would cause strange damage to this little guy who couldn't talk very well, and shook his head helplessly, Li Laifu walked over and touched her head.
"This harp is important to you, isn't it?"
The little girl didn't speak, but hugged the antique-looking wooden harp in her hand tighter, as if she was afraid that someone would suddenly come out and snatch it.
Li Laifu nodded thoughtfully, and said in an inquiring tone, "Why don't I call you Qin in the future?"
In his previous life, Li Laifu was barely a man with a sense of responsibility, and when he saw an extremely dangerous person like his grandmother fall down on the street, he would not hesitate to rush up and help him up, perhaps the only advantage is not too much in line with the trend of human development, but this does not affect Li Laifu to continue to inherit this stupidity as Max Emery.
Anyway, his existence was an accident, and he didn't care about making this accident even more unreasonable, not to mention that it was not bad to have a maid who could sing a little song on weekdays
The little girl hugged the harp and still didn't speak, but the shallow smile and ecstatic eyes on the corner of her mouth had already made Li Laifu understand something.
Perhaps only the moment she picked up the harp, she was the creator of the transcendent object, and other times it was better to disguise herself as a mute in order to survive, she should have been miserable and even lost everything, but now she is all right, because she has a name.
As if remembering something, Li Laifu shook his head vigorously, intending to shake off some strange thoughts, knowing that today was a day worth remembering for him, he raised his dark eyes and looked at the attic where he had lived for seven years.
"Introduction to the Three Dimensions of Magic", "Chronicles of Eternity", "Chivalry and the Faith of Light", "Apocalypse of Light", and a tattered black scroll, countless yellowed books piled up into a hill, emitting an old smell in the faint sunlight, and dust filling the attic, these weird creatures don't need to leave, because they can be left as dust and ignored.
But if someone has threatened to live as a person, he can't waste his life as a dusty being.
In the past seven years, the thirst for knowledge and power has forced Li Laifu to grit his teeth and continue to study and try, although he has seen the refusal of the gods again and again, although he has tasted the humiliation that makes him crush his bones from time to time, but as a bastard boy like a mad dog, he still maintains the last bit of harmful things called 'dignity'.
Some of these books can even be called 'taboo', for example, one of them, "Darkness in the Sun", tells the bloody story of the unknown Inquisition of the Holy See of Light, and if this kind of book were circulated, it would be enough to destroy the Max family, not as if they were suppressed by the political enemies in the Kingdom of Tustin, but directly trampled into ruins by the Knights of Light who had fanatical beliefs.
As if he found that his emotions were a little out of control, Li Laifu slowly closed his eyes, which allowed him to calm down as soon as possible.
"Seven years, I can't feel the so-called magic element, I'm such a bastard, no, a lot of people are bastards, but"
Li Laifu opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a round of sun in his eyes.
"I'm going to walk out of here. β
As soon as the words fell, there were suddenly ripples in the air, and a five-star magic array flashed with purple light, floating behind Li Laifu, and a figure slowly walked out from inside.
The old butler Troy always appeared at the right time, dressed in a chilling black robe, and the 'shocking' smile carved into his old face, all of which showed his unfathomability.
Qin looked very calm in the face of this sudden old man, she looked at these two strange people with big watery eyes, and suddenly had an inexplicable impulse, which was a call from the bottom of her heart.
She put her hands on the strings of the harp
"Little Emery, don't murmur, your world has just begun, and all the legends and epics in it are written by you, and there is no ridiculous god of light, no irritating beliefs, and everything you do will crown you king. β
The old butler seemed to know everything, and he smiled and whispered softly, as before.
"What about the old viscount?"
Li Laifu asked indifferently.
"You should be polite, well, as I usually call him, Gurlett has returned from a filthy place, and he's sitting in the mud waiting for you to come and talk. Little Emery, you'd better be calm, for this time, the old fellow gave away some of the precious things that he had dug out of the dirt a long time ago. β
Troy seemed pleased, as if the old viscount had done something that seemed silly to him.
"I know, I'll pay it back later. β
Li Laifu's voice was so steady, he picked up a black book from the pile of yellowed books, and slowly walked his steps, with a squeak, Li Laifu pushed open the old wooden door, this time, the door panel could never be closed.
In the year 516 of the Eternal Calendar, a seed that does not need the nourishment of the earth and the god of light has sprouted, and the web of rules on the continent has been quietly torn apart by a pair of invisible big hands, and clowns and heroes, they will appear one by one.
