Mage Joan

"Martin and I were both born in a rural place called "Stag Town" in the western part of Yalfheim. My father opened a pub in the town, and the business was okay. It was considered to be a wealthy family in the town."

"Martin's mother is my father's cousin, and Martin and I are also cousins."

"Martin's father is a blacksmith in town, with good character and craftsmanship. The only drawback is his alcoholism, especially after marriage and childbirth, the abuse of alcoholism becomes more and more serious, and he spends most of his time drinking. After spending time, not only did I waste my work, but when I got drunk, I beat my wife and young Martin like crazy."

"As you can imagine, Mr. Vader, poor Martin was born and raised in such a family. It is hard to count from the hardship of snacks. Such a childhood is far from being happy."

Joan nodded gently, deeply sympathetic to Martin's childhood experience.

In contrast, although he was an orphan, at least he was taken care of by his grandfather, and his childhood was much happier than Martin.

"This tragic life lasted until Martin was ten years old. His drunken father drunk in the pond after drunkenness, which was a relief for Martin and his mother."

"After that, the orphans and widows came to work in my pub. His mother worked as a maid in the kitchen, and Martin was a chap."

"The child Martin is hard-working, smart, and ambitious. Every day from morning to night, after work, other guys ran to drink and gamble. Only he came to me and begged me to teach him to read and write, saying he wanted to be a decent person. Of readers, rather than being a buddy for a lifetime."

"I am three years older than Martin, barely a peer of the same age. I wish I could have a partner to study and play with me, so I accepted his request very happily."

"I soon discovered that Martin was very smart and learned new knowledge much faster than me. Within two years, I would not be able to teach him anything. I simply gave him the key to his study and what books he wanted to read. Pick it yourself."

"One day Martin came to me excitedly and said that he found a scroll of sheepskin in a pile of old books. The weird symbols on it were elven words, which probably described a magic."

"Some of my family’s old books were accumulated from my grandfather’s generation, and most of them were outdated newspapers and recipes, almanacs, and other boring booklets bought from the grocery store. It’s really hard to imagine these old waste paper piles. There was also a spell scroll, and he did not take Martin’s words seriously, but just threw him a Quenya Dictionary, and thought he might help him decipher the old scroll.”

"It was about half a year later. One day, Martin came to me excitedly, claiming that he had learned the tricks recorded on the scroll, and was confident to show me."

"I asked him to perform with half doubt, he took out a half-dead firefly, held it in his palm, and then chanted a long list of elven spells that I didn't understand. Then the miracle really happened-Martin's hands A ball of bright light actually rose like an oil lamp!"

"0 ring light technique." Joan whispered softly.

Mr. Fitzgerald nodded approvingly, then said: "I was so surprised at that time! Immediately dragged Martin to his mother and my parents, declaring that my cousin had become an amazing mage."

"The news spread that the whole town was sensational! Before Martin, there was no native mage in this country town."

"Since then, Martin has become a young genius in the eyes of the folks. Everyone expects him to become a great mage, using his magical power to help the neighborhoods solve their difficulties."

"I guess Martin had the same ambitions at that time, and he had perfect plans for realizing his ideals. The most critical step was to obtain the Leiden College Austrian Law major."

Joan heard a mixed mood.

Martin's mentality at the time was almost exactly the same as when he decided to enroll in Leiden College a year ago.

"In order to raise tuition fees, Martin's mother sold the blacksmith's shop and borrowed some money from my father. In the spring of that year, Martin left his hometown with the farewell of the town's folks and went to Port Leiden to pursue his dream."

"I was walking with Martin at the time, but it was only a humble **** beside him. This was natural. After all, I was not as smart as Martin. In any case, I couldn't learn the spells recorded on the scroll of the sheepskin. Expectation, decided to apply for business majors in Leiden College."

"As you can imagine, Mr. Vader, in the eyes of my fellow villagers and even my parents, is mediocre like me. After graduation, I just went to a colonial company or a business firm as a clerk. How great is it? Martin is different, young genius mage, unlimited future!"

Fitzgerald put his hands in the coat pocket and sighed long, continuing his memory.

"Later, when we arrived at Leiden College and took the entrance exams individually, I didn't have high expectations for myself. After passing the exam, I felt satisfied, but Martin seemed to have been hit hard. After I repeatedly asked him, I admitted that my test scores were not as good. expected."

"He came to the city under the aura of genius, originally thought he could still excel, but the test scores poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and he was shocked to find that he was not a genius. Compared with those students from the city, Regardless of his intelligence level or ability to cast spells, he seems mediocre."

"Although he was hit on the first day of school, Martin still had a good illusion about the future. After being forced to admit that he was not a genius, he did not lose faith because he felt that he could still make up for the smarter ones with hard work. Gap between classmates."

"The proverb, "The stupid bird flies first", we have been convinced since childhood, but fate is too cruel to Martin. In the eight years since then, Martin has been working hard to study, and his achievements can not be considered bad. Unfortunately, he met a A devilish mentor."

"Walter Lee, this psychologically distorted near-perverted "old owl", has been devastating Martin from the flesh to the spirit for eight years, all kinds of abuses, I can hardly tell you."

Fitzgerald's grinning expression made Joan couldn't help but think of the rumours about Walter Lee's special **** in the school.

"I can’t bear to say that Martin has suffered inhuman torture for the past eight years. You must have heard about it. As for myself, although my talents are not outstanding, I graduated smoothly after all. I first worked as an assistant cashier at the colonial company for two years. Later, he was responsible for the management and disbursement of student loans, and his career was not very successful, not bad."

"Recall that when I left Martin's hometown to study in the city with Martin eight years ago, I had to sigh with fate. The life experience is really unpredictable."

"Yeah, fate is unpredictable." Joe An felt the same.

"Martin has never returned to his hometown in the past eight years, Mr. Vader, can you understand his mentality?"

"I can understand that, Mr. Fitzgerald, my background is similar to that of Martin. My grandfather sold the most valuable black oak at home to barely cover my tuition, just like Martin's mother sold the blacksmith's shop."

"When I left my hometown, I also had the expectation of countless family and friends. They all expected me to fight for the people, just like the friends and family in Martin's hometown."

"If my studies are terrible and I am unable to graduate, I will not have a face to go home to meet my friends and relatives, and I will not be able to face the brutal reality of disappointing the expectations of my friends and relatives. I would rather die outside in obscurity."

Joan said deeply.
