Chapter Forty-Six: Making Up for the Dead
The first time you get used to it, you will undoubtedly be a little unaccustomed to it, because their weight is undoubtedly a little different from the previous blades, but Xavier doesn't care much about this, as long as he gets used to it, he will definitely be able to maximize their power!
"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied. He couldn't help but repeat it several times to show how much he liked the two blades.
Immediately, without any hesitation, he paid the final payment for the sword, fifteen crowns.
"Thank you. "It's a joy for Sika to be re-recognized by his customers, after all, he hasn't used this craft for a long time.
And it turned out that even if it was a little rusty, the blade he created still had the best quality in the empire, and Xavier couldn't help but ask, "Mr. McTheson, why don't you build a shop?
In fact, he didn't understand very much, with such technology, he should be a group of people who the empire focused on cultivating and protecting, but he should be reduced to the East Side, living in such a dignified house, it is really incredible.
Faced with this question, the smile on Sika's face suddenly disappeared a little, as if he remembered some past experiences.
"I'm sorry, did I ask a question that shouldn't be asked?" Xavier, who was observant, quickly noticed that something was wrong with the person in front of him, and hurriedly asked as if he were remedy.
"No, no, no, it's not Mr. Xavier's problem, it's just something that reminds me of something. Sika smiled wryly.
Then he sat Xavier across from him, caught up in a look of remembrance, and waited a moment before speaking
"Maybe in your eyes, I have this kind of technology, why don't I go to the inner city, don't I go to the Swordsman Association?"
Xavier nodded.
"It's simple, because I was expelled by them. Sika's gaze was full of traces of time, and he said with a sigh.
"I used to be a member of the Swordsmen's Guild, just like my husband. Later, I didn't really want to talk about it, but for some reason, I was kicked out by the Capital Sword Casting Union, so I had to live in the Eastern District, and I was gone for several years, no, more than ten years. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but reveal the pain in his heart.
Looking at the painful and regretful expression, Xavier couldn't help but be silent for a while, and waited for a while before asking, "Then Mr. McTheson, why don't you go somewhere else?"
He repeated what he had told passers-by in the restaurant.
"It is the swordsmiths of the capital who have expelled you, not all the people of the empire, and with your talents, you can live a good life in other parts of Knossos, or in Gurnia!
His voice couldn't help but increase a little.
"That's what my son told me. Sika's eyes moistened slightly, "Maybe I should have done this earlier, but I was sorry for them because of my stupid dignity in the first place."
"During the period when I lost my position, my wife worked hard to support the whole family, but because of this, she became seriously ill, which eventually led to the loss of my savings, and she also left this world"
"I'm sorry for the gaffe. The swordsmith seemed to have a little more wrinkles, and then raised his arm and gently wiped it from the corner of his eye.
"Sorry to hear that. Xavier first offered a word of condolence, and then couldn't help but say, "But Mr. Matheson, I don't know if you have ever heard the story of making amends, which means that when the mistake is not too big, it is still not too late to make up for it as soon as possible." ”
He remembered the young man he had seen at Sika's house before, "Your son, for example, is also very young now, why don't you take advantage of this time and leave together? I'm sure you can have a better life elsewhere." ”
"Hmm. Sika let out a long breath, "My son is the only pride I will be in my life, and he has also told me if I want to leave Zomintos in the near future. ”
"I was a little hesitant, but after hearing what my husband said, maybe I should have listened to him. ”
"That's good. Xavier smiled with satisfaction, "But after you leave, sir, remember to tell me the address, and I will look for you in the future to build the blade." ”
"Good. Sika nodded, and then the corners of his mouth moved slightly, "When the time comes, I will still give you a discount." ”
"Haha, if you say so, I'll look for you to build a sword blade in the future. Xavier understood the essence of 'Xu', "But is there anything you need to remember before you leave?"
"I mean, because I'm a member of the Swordsmen's Guild, if you want to find a place where you used to live, I can definitely take you to see it as your last memory before leaving," he proposed with kindness, hoping that the swordsmith would have no regrets.
Feeling Xavier's kindness, Sika's face suddenly moved slightly, and he thanked "Thank you for your kindness, but in this way, it really won't trouble you?"
"It's fine. Xavier shook his head slightly, he had already brought Nord into the Guild a few times, and even his sister had been brought in for tours, and now he was just replacing someone with Sika, the swordsmith, so how could there be a problem?
"No one will care about you, I promise. ”
"If that's the case, then there's Mr. Law. After being away for so many years, Sika thought that there was no chance to go back, but now he was able to get Xavier's invitation, so that he couldn't think of any reason to refuse, and began to recall the past, "I don't know, is the bridge to the Magic Association still there?"
"Mr. Matheson, are you referring to the glass bridge on the fourth floor? Xavier couldn't help but smile, it was where he walked every day, "I walk there every day." ”
"That's good. Sika sighed, "I used to go to the Magic Association like you to see how magicians use magic. ”
"Later, after my son was admitted to the association, he also took me to it a few times, and once he took those magic elevators, and all kinds of novelties, it was really--"
"I can't imagine it, right? Xavier replied, and even a soul like him from a previous life couldn't help but marvel when he saw those things, "I really can't believe that they can make such a device." ”
"But then again, Mr. McTheson, is your son a magician? I may have seen him in the Guild. ”
