Old Sword Master

But Wood, who walked into the house, has made up his mind. If the father does not come back in time with his salary, he will use this book to pay off the debt. He can’t delay the younger sister, and it hurts the father. It is very bad to lose the sustenance of the mother. , But the more important thing is to keep promises and not be emotional. 1

Wood also wanted to go to Gandia City to find a stronger mage to ask about the price, but he couldn’t believe those strong and mentally unstable guys. No one can guarantee that they would not rob like Kelby. In fact, mage has a reputation in this area. Extremely bad.

Normal mage is probably going to be robbed in this situation. Kelby, who has always been reasonable, is almost an anomaly.

So just give it to him. If he can understand, mother is a successor. Wood comforts himself like this.

Walking into the house, Wood found two large cubes of bread stuffed with slices of meat on the table.

There is also a note with a pink cake of half a palm-size on it.

“pier.”

“hay.”

“happy Birthday.”

This is a note left to him by Wood’s younger sister Nita. It contains a few words that Wood does not recognize. Tomorrow is an important holiday and the church has many holiday work. 1

Nita must have gone to the church in the city very early very early, and should work all night at night, so I left Wood with food and blessings in advance.

Most of the family’s money is used to repay the interest. The younger sister has to do a lot of work in order to be able to study at Dark Sun Church School. 1

Thinking of this, Wood felt sad, and a small cake on the note made his eyes a little sour.

This is his favorite and even fascinating food. The big strawberry dextrin used in this kind of cake is a very rare specialty. It is only produced in a place called Berry Production, where a noble Holy Roman The Marquis Lord of the empire controls it. Only the merchant ship under Lord brings this kind of goods when they come to Gandia. I don’t know how the younger sister saved money to buy this strawberry powder, which was made for herself the day before her birthday. . 17

Holy Mother to Heavenly Section is not only the checkout day, but also Wood’s birthday.

Wood was holding the biscuit and felt his tongue. But he didn’t swallow the pink cake immediately. Instead, he hid it in his arms cautiously. His clothes were dirty, but Wood wanted to save the cake until tomorrow. It is best to eat with the younger sister, but he has to pick up hay to do odd jobs at the dock, so he may not find the younger sister.

‘Better to meet father at the dock. “Wood thinks so, father should bring back a few big fish that can sell money,” so he can go to church to help younger sister. ‘

Another point is that his heart is actually reluctant to lose his mother’s magic book. 1

Wood inserted his long sword into the hay, then picked up the hay and walked to the dock.

Unbeknownst to Wood, their creditor, Mage Kelby, and his apprentice were watching him in a courtyard next to his house. 1

This powerful core mage, like the townsfolk, wears pale-yellow linen clothes, but still has 2 twinkling diamond rings on his hands. Although it is important to hide the appearance, mage is unwilling to leave his ring.

Kelby came here a few days ago, his appearance is definitely not peaceful, his face is distorted and his eyes are red.

Seeing Wood picking up hay, the apprentice next to him said: “Everything is normal. As in the past few years, he took the hay to the dock and sold it. I haven’t seen him read a book. He doesn’t read.”

After listening to the apprentice’s report, Kelby said, “Go and stare at him.”

“Teacher, uh, I’ve been here for almost 3 months.” His apprentice didn’t set off immediately, which Kelby would never allow.

“Your this bastard is only Level 1 mage, will you die after a few more days?” Kelby slapped him as usual, scolded, “Give me work, I will naturally give you a soothing agent after finishing the errand. .”

When the resentful apprentice walked out, Kelby tore off a patch on his sleeve and took a deep breath. His mood was much calmer. 3

Confirming that his mental state is okay, Kelby cautiously took out a vanity mirror in his arms, and said in the lightest and lightest voice, as if afraid to disturb some existence: “After getting the book, kill Wood again. Book of Thunder is Mine?”

About ten seconds later, a line of crystal water stains appeared on the mirror: “and his younger sister.” 2

Chapter 2 Face the Burberry Pirates for the first time

“Hey, Wood.”

“Ah, Tiberus.”

After walking a few steps with hay on his back, Wood heard someone calling him. He turned his head and greeted a neighbor who was slightly shorter than himself. 1

“Are you okay?” Turning his head, Wood was surprised to find that his neighbor was a little strange, with red eyes and twisted muscles on his face. He was also wearing a pretty good cloth gown. Although it was a little shabby, it was better than Wood’s linen. It’s getting better, Wood has never seen Tiberus wear such good clothes.

“I’m fine,” Tiberus said. “I’m going to send the hay to the Karcanto warehouse. Let’s go together.”

They speak Latin. This language is dominant throughout the Mediterranean because of its combination with the Roman Dark Sun Church. It is also Wood’s native language.

Tiberus is a Greek from the name, and Wood-Lombard is an Italian immigrant who migrated from Milan after the Republic of Venice took control of Crete. Although the former is several times more in number, the common language is the latter. The Latin used by the readers is certainly not the only disadvantage of the Greeks. Generally speaking, the Greeks and Italian immigrants can only say that they barely tolerate each other. 1

However, the relationship between Tiberus and Wood is pretty good. When this young man from the countryside just rented a house here, Wood helped him clean up the house. He has very good leather-making skills. Although his temper is not good, the charge is reasonable. The town where Wood lives is very popular.

In the past 3 months, they often helped each other when they went out to collect hay together, and occasionally enjoyed the hare brought to the door together. Tiberus was very quick-eyed and was quick to catch rabbits. Wood is the most agile among peers in the village, but he also catches them. Without his one third rabbit, he also gave Wood a pair of rabbit leather hands (set tào), and Wood gave it to Nita.

And maybe because he hadn’t heard of old Ventus boasting, the other party never laughed at Wood’s inability to become a Level 1 fighter.

“Really all right, let’s go gather some herbs first.” Wood suggested. 2

“Those herbs are the poor man who lied to himself.” Tiberus’s tone was rather blunt when he was humiliated by his own Teacher, “Don’t be dilly-dallying, let’s go.”

“Okay.” Wood is not angry because of this. Everyone has bad moods. Tiberus has a bad temper, but he is not bad to himself. He plans to give Wood another pair of hands (set of tào), but Wood firmly refuses. He can no longer accept gifts from each other before he finds a good gift in return. 1

The road they have to walk is not very far. The big fishing boat wharf is closer to the church where Nita went. There is a small wharf where fishing boats can be docked in the town, but only the big fishing boat wharf closer to Gandia will have large Chamber of Commerce fishing boats docked. , That’s where Wood usually does odd jobs, and the hay warehouse of the Karcanto Chamber of Commerce is also there. 2

Wood not at all is a real job, but when the father’s fishing boat returns to the port, or when a large merchant ship from Seville or Liguria enters the port, it will go to the pier to carry work. This is not a bad job. Look, although Gandia Port is far less prosperous than it was when it was part of the Venetian Republic, but now the Kingdom of Spain and the Republic of Liguria, in addition to the merchant fleet, and the armed fleet also occasionally docked, which brought a lot of job opportunities, and the sailors need not say There is always a shortage. If you don’t want to go to sea, there are also many logistical jobs to recruit people. If you are willing to work hard, it is hard to say whether you are full, but it is not a problem to eat. 1
