17 Cemetery

The resting place belonging to the red-robed mage's wife is very simple, with a long black tombstone stained with a piece of blood red, and Hiccor constantly rubs the marks on it, and his expression is very lonely: "This color is very annoying...... But my mother loved it. ”

"This is the mark of the red-robed mage. Penny recalled the basic knowledge of the red-robed mage.

"Mom comes from a red-robed family, you should know what such a family is like......"

"Of course I know that only those who have magical qualifications and become a member of the Red Robe Mage Guild will be recorded in the family directory, and they can be regarded as the nobles of Serre, right?" Penny nodded, he knew very well that he had seen a few such children, but the backstage was not hard, and it was still done in the academy, and the red-robed family usually recognized this kind of thing.

It may not sound realistic, but in Searle, the higher the world, the more cruel it becomes, and the person who falls in the corner of the academy, even if he barely survives, is afraid that it will be difficult to go further, and the damn one will die sooner or later.

"Mom's qualifications are very ordinary, and she didn't become a mage, so she married 'that person' very early......" The girl continued to say in a reminiscing tone.

Penny nodded, this is not surprising, if the red-robed family has a waste, they will usually deprive themselves of the right to the surname, and then sweep the floor out, the male will give a sum of money and let him fend for himself;

――Despite the cruelty of Searle's society, cronyism is a universal truth, isn't it?

Penny had already had a rough idea of the context in which Sheckel's parents were united, and from an objective point of view, it was indeed an unsatisfactory love - or rather, no love at all.

It's no wonder that little girls can become so cynical.

"He stayed in that laboratory forever, and never came out at all, this tavern, even the signature on the signboard, was painted by his mother herself, and as a wife in a red robe, she lived more painfully and tiringly than a slave. Hiccol's face was filled with a sarcastic smile: "This is the nobility of this land. ”

But until she vomited blood and was about to die, she still remembered the glory of the so-called red robe, and she didn't even want to call him back from the research room to see her, although she lived like a slave, she still loved him so much, was it really worth it?...... Glory, does Serge have such a thing?" the girl's expression became confused again.

"Probably, I would say, it is indeed not a good thing to be a relative in a red robe, because they simply do not have the extra energy to love something. Penny thought about the red-robed lifestyle and said.

"Really?"

"I don't think Mr. James is a heartless man. Penny hesitated for a moment, then said, remembering the experiment he had done the day before he left the academy.

Is it really cruel and ruthless to test his students in that way, although they are cunning? Penny doesn't believe it, if someone else was in the position of Jenhuas at that time, most of them would have directly used poison or magic to control Penny, and what happened after that might not have been like this.

Although he is not interested in being a red robe, Penny still has a very positive evaluation of this mentor in his heart.

"How do you say good things about him?" cried out Hickel, angry.

"Have you tried to get to know him? or have you taken him for a typical red robe based on your impressions of childhood?" asked Penny, "it was ten years ago, when you were only four years old...... It may be impressive, but ...... Have you ever really understood what he thinks?"

"I ...... I can't forgive him. Hickor looked down.

"But he's your father. Sicole, I don't think your surname, no matter how much you hate him, can't think of him as a real enemy. Penny said, "If you can't be an enemy, why can't you try to understand him?

"I'm ......" The girl froze for a moment, her eyes gradually drifting apart, as if she had entered into thought because of Penny's words.

Understanding and forgiveness? Is this possible?

Or have you been running away from him, and haven't wanted to get in touch with him all these years? At least try to understand him, so that you can find a real reason to decide whether to love or hate, otherwise it's just hurting others and yourself, isn't it?

Sometimes it takes a little courage to take a step forward. Penny said, looking at the right side of the cemetery, a middle-aged man in a crimson robe walked slowly, and the girl also found out, panicked and wanted to stand up, but the wrist was grabbed by the young man.

"It's an opportunity, courage, a little courage. Penny stared earnestly into the girl's eyes, felt the trembling and struggle in his hands, and said in a calm tone.

"I ......" The man got closer and closer, Hickel bit his lower lip, his head was about to fall to the ground, and at the moment when his hand was pinched, he didn't know where he summoned up a wave of courage, and he didn't have the idea of escaping, but the thoughts in his heart were getting more and more chaotic.

I don't know if it's panic, fear, or confusion, but surprisingly there isn't much hatred.

"I ......" footsteps reached his ears, and a red corner appeared on the ground in front of him, and Hiccor slowly raised his head, and saw a face that was a little old, vaguely impressed, but with some strangeness.

How long has it been since we've seen him? I've been avoiding him for a few years......

This time, there seems to be no room to escape.

"Hiccol, it's been six years......

Father...... I'm finally going to see you again......" Lenge Jan Washi looked at a pale face, and then touched the girl's face with a sigh: "It looks like Celine...... The same...... So pretty. ”

Hiccol's eyes were in a trance, and a tidal wave of tears flowed down, and he collapsed into Penny's arms as if paralyzed, and the resentment in his heart flowed out little by little with the tears.

"Dean Jenny...... "Penny was embarrassed, according to the eight-o'clock routine, shouldn't this be the happy ending of the reconciliation after the father and daughter reconciled and hugged and cried? How did it become like this? It's hard to imagine that the father of a daughter would not have any misunderstanding after seeing this scene--how did his daughter casually get into someone else's arms?What is their relationship? And so on, Penny doesn't want to touch this mold at all, especially now.

He stood up and wanted to send Hickor to the arms of old Zhan Huashi, but he saw that Zhan Huashi had his hands behind his back, and he had no intention of taking it at all, but looked at the sky with his eyes far away: "Since she chose you, then I have no reason to take your job, apprentice, you are very good." ”

Penny didn't know what to do for a while, so he took the girl and sat back on the grass.

"In a person's life, he is faced with countless choices, and every time he chooses, he must first ask himself, what are you for? What can you get? What will you throw away? Will you regret it?" Dean Zhan Huashi did not remain silent, but stroked the black tombstone with a red piece, and said slowly: " I used to think that I could do anything for the sake of power and power, but I regretted it in the end, once I missed something, it can never be recouped again, and her departure made me completely sober up and know what the so-called power we are looking for. What do you think, apprentice?"

"I think it's important to protect something. Penny thought for a moment and said.

"As I said, you're good. Dean Zhan Huashi smiled: "You are more sober than most of my former students, at least you know what you want, which is why I admire you, although your qualifications are really average." ”

Penny laughed twice.

"But apparently you're still a little confused, but unlike the clever fools I killed, I think you still have a cure and need to be saved.

While your traits are different from most of my colleagues, I think you're a good fit to be a red-robed mage, better than they are. Jenvas turned to Penny, "That's one of the purposes I've come here today, apprentice, are you willing to continue your obligations to Searle?"

"No!" "No," Sicole screamed, lying in Penny's arms, and looked at his father with very sad eyes, "Please, don't take him, please." ”

"Of course he did it voluntarily, my dear daughter, you don't have to worry. Zhan Huashi looked at Sicole gently, that look was not like what a red-robed mage should have, but it was only for a moment, he regained his usual calmness and indifference, and turned to Penny: "What about your choice? ”

"I don't want to change my life now, Mr. Mentor. "Penny doesn't hesitate, he's very happy with his life right now.

"Well, you know the address of Lakeside Academy, and the doors are open to you until you forget what you've learned before, and I hope you change your mind soon. Zhan Huashi helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and leaned over to touch the joyful and crying Sicole: "My daughter, I hope you can be happy in the future." ”

"Thank you...... Father. Hiccol's lips moved, and he whispered.

"Today is my happiest day, Hickel, and you finally call me that. Jan Watsy laughed again, got up and walked away quickly, and Penny watched all the way until Jan Watsy got into a carriage, and then sighed:

"Let's go back. ”

"Oh, okay. Sicole rubbed his eyes, stood up, and followed the boy towards the city of Dehumi, and soon the girl was cheerful and ran in front of Penny.

"Penny, how about a grilled steak at night?"

"It's not good, high-calorie foods tend to gain weight. ”

"Good boys are not picky eaters!"

"Let's see if there are many guests in the evening, maybe it's busy......" Penny's voice was weak.

Just discussed with each other, entered the city, suddenly saw a thick smoke not far away, asked passers-by why, and the roadside people hurriedly walked: "Just now a group of people attacked Celine's tavern, set a fire again, and burned it!"

Penny and Hickor glanced at each other, saw the look of shock in each other's eyes, and ran.

I forgot to ask for a recommendation in the previous chapter.,Sure enough, the increase in recommendation votes dropped significantly...... This chapter is made up, and I sincerely ask for recommendation votes, and the new book needs support.
