Chapter 2: Humiliation

"At the moment, it seems that a forger or alchemist is the best choice, if it really doesn't work, then stay and be an excellent businessman and help me take care of Nanyun City's business."

Ace pondered for a moment and whispered, "Let me think about it." ”

Although he said this, Ace knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for him to stay and do business, because that would not only affect himself, but even the Monchi family would become a joke in Nanyun City and even the entire empire.

Many people will mercilessly taunt: "Look, that guy Aofeng Green has given birth to a completely useless seed, and can only suck his father's essence blood." ”

When Ace thought of those hateful faces, he felt more and more remorseful and uneasy. He would never let that happen, as he was a son of Monchi-D-Kamikaze, a descendant of the former deputy head of the Lionheart Knights.

With his father's support, Ace slowly stood up, and the two walked together towards the castle in the distance.

Along the way, many civilians in Nanyun City pointed fingers at the Monchi father and son, and Ace could only suppress the humiliation in his heart, pretending not to hear, and continued with difficulty.

At the same time, a loud voice of congratulations came from not far away: "Ouch, isn't this Young Master Xinlijia, who has been recognized as a genius in the cultivation of water magicians, you are really amazing!" ”

"Yes, yes, the young master is worthy of being a good son of the old city lord, and he really has the ability!"

"It's just..."

Countless echoing voices continued to come, making Ace, who was already extremely uncomfortable in his heart, feel even more powerless about his own incompetence.

Those people, who had been mocking and insulting Hazah-Sinrja earlier, have now become his sycophants.

"Haha, there's no way, Young Master Ben is talented and favored by the gods!" The man who spoke was clearly deliberately raising his voice so that people from the surrounding streets could hear him.

"Hehe, a foolish people are foolish people, and they will never be truly noble nobles!" Hazah-Sinrriga was in a very happy mood.

He was originally the son of the old city lord of Nanyun City, and he was also a famous young master in Nanyun City.

However, during the reign of his father, Roger Xinlijia, because he secretly modified the tax and appropriated the money obtained from tax evasion, he was finally discovered by the imperial treasurer and sentenced to death, and the Xinlijia family was stripped of his title and made him a commoner.

The Monchi family was awarded the title of baron because of the great achievements of the Monchi-D-Kamikaze in the dragon slaying war twelve years ago, but there has been no suitable fief to give.

Six years ago, Master Xinlijia was executed, and Kamikaze took over Nanyun City, a small city in the southern part of the Mantuola Empire, and just filled the vacancy of the city lord of Nanyun City.

You must know that tax evasion is an extremely serious crime in the Mandala Empire, and it can be directly punished with death. Thinking that Roger Xinlijia, who was already dead, did not expect that because of his momentary greed, the Xinlijia family would collapse all at once.

And his son Hasa has also changed from a pampered aristocratic young master to a thug who can only live on the streets.

But the aristocratic young master, who used to have no worries about food and clothing, has no ability to support himself, so he can only do some petty theft in Nanyun City to make a difficult living.

Because of this, Hasa hated the Mengqi family extremely much, he never thought that his father would be stupid enough to deduct taxes, but thought that the Mengqi family bought connections in the imperial capital in order to obtain the fief of Nanyun City, so that his father's tax problem went wrong.

It's just that no one expected that the empire's biennial inspection would give this down-and-out Hasa a chance to turn over.

But Hasa's hatred for the Monchi family has not diminished at all. Especially after knowing that Monchi-D-Ace is a "Muggle", the schadenfreude in his heart is even more difficult to hide.

"Hmph, before leaving Nanyun City, Young Master Ben must humiliate you well!" Looking at the distant figure of Monchi father and son, Hazah had an extremely evil smile on his face.

Three days later, the two reserve magicians who were selected were to follow the officials in charge of receiving them to the imperial capital.

For three days, the Hazah family remained silent.

The difference is that the families in Nanyun City, who have long since declined and lost their titles, privately treat the Monchi family as a joke. This ridiculous arrogance has long been deeply engraved into their bone marrow.

In the afternoon of this day, Ace felt irritable and wanted to go for a walk by the river outside the city. Several guards were worried about the safety of their young master, so they wanted to follow Ace out of the city, but he stopped them.

In this way, he walked out of the North Wind City alone and walked towards the river not far away. Sitting under a large tree by the river, which had long since dried up, Ace was upset and irritable.

At this time, he was very confused and did not know where his path was.

A cool autumn breeze blew, and Ace lay down, looking at the blue sky, and the anxiety in his heart decreased slightly.

But at this moment, a familiar and disgusted figure appeared in front of him.

"Hehe, you waste, you dare to go out of the city alone, it seems that you are dying!" It was none other than Hazah-Sinrija.

Behind him were two sturdy young men, apparently the helpers Hazah had found.

Ace frowned and quickly stood up. But before he could stand firm, Hazah grabbed him by the collar.

Ace was thin, and Hazah was a head taller than him, so it was obviously unfair to have such a disparity in strength. But how could Hazah, who was extremely narrow-minded, care about this?

Hasa pushed Ace to the ground, and then sat on top of Ace at once.

"You waste, it's just useless, it's a shame for the nobles!" Hasa said as she grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared it all over Ace's face.

Although Ace tried his best to resist, his own strength could not compete with Hazah's strength at all. But no matter how Hazah insulted him, he did not say a word, and did not shed a single tear.

Seeing that Hasa had the upper hand, the two ruffian youths who came with him kept fanning the flames on the side, and had no intention of interfering.

And Hasa didn't expect that Ace was so tenacious, and he didn't mean to ask for mercy at all, and the fire in his heart reached its peak in an instant.

With a fierce glint in his eyes, Hasa dragged Ace to the water's edge, then pressed his head hard into the water.

The two tall young men saw that Hasa had the intention to kill, and immediately panicked. No matter what Ace said, he was also the young master of the Monchi family, and the city lord Monchi-D-kamikaze was even more of a baron of the empire. If Ace is really dead, then none of them can escape.

"Hasa, stop! You can't do this! ”

"You reckless man, stop me!"

One of them wanted to step forward and pull Hazar apart, but the other young man was already panicking, and he grabbed the former by the sleeve and said with a frightened face: "Let's run, and now that no one is seeing, let's get out of here!" ”

The two quickly fled the scene, but Hazah still pressed Ace's head into the water.
