Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

Chapter 53: The story of an old scholar

   Little Hepburn does not have much homework.

  Because I have only studied with Lin Peng for a few months, so far his homework is at most copying books and the like.

   Even after saving for two days, soon after Lothar returned, Little Hepburn finished it.

   The old scholar criticized him again, and told him to finish his homework on time in the future, and that was the end.

When    was being criticized, Little Hepburn looked at Lothar angrily, as if conveying the meaning of "I really don't care about loyalty."

   Lothar, who couldn't stand this kind of look, promised to take him to sea around two days later.

   Then he sent him to sleep.

   It was ten o'clock soon.

   Lothar got up and made Lin Peng a cup of scented tea to help sleep.

   This is a signal to remind him to go to rest.

   A cup of scented tea can make him feel sleepy very quickly, so he can be forced to go to sleep after eleven o’clock.

   In long-term practice, Lothar found that once the old scholar did not go to bed after ten o'clock, it was a sign that he would definitely stay up late to read that night.

   couldn't bear to interrupt his interest in reading, and didn't want him to stay up late and hurt his body.

   After several discussions, the latest break time was relaxed to eleven o'clock.

   Before this, give him a cup of scented tea, which will help urge him to rest.

   Under Lothar's gaze, Lin Peng looked at the book in his hand and the tea on the table.

   In the end, he reluctantly put down his book and took a sip of hot tea.

   Lothar nodded in satisfaction, showing a "child can teach" expression.

   was about to get up to clear the desk, but the old scholar put down his teacup and waved him to sit down.

   "Why, do you want to tell me something?"

   Lothar sat down again in surprise, and asked.

   Lin Peng hesitated for a while, and spoke with entanglement.

   "Ahem, Lothar, I heard that the earl wanted to canonize you as a knight, but you rejected it?"

   Lothar suddenly gave him a playful look.

   "Um...I heard, did you hear the earl say it?"

   A trace of ruddy flashed across the old man’s face, and then he said, “Yes, I heard the earl say.”

   "Well, if you guessed right, did the count want you to persuade me?"

   Lothar had already guessed what Lin Peng meant, put away his joking expression, and asked with a long sigh.

   "Yes, the count did ask me to persuade you."

   The old scholar looked at the white mist rising from the tea cup and sighed.

   "Actually, I also know that you are in the four directions and you don't want to stay as a lord."

   "Plus, the current situation in the Principality is turbulent. I really did not persuade you to get involved in all these troubles."

   "But ah, I have been so kind to Lord Earl that I have not repaid it yet."

   "So, after all, I still want to work hard."

   There was a moment of silence, and Lin Peng seemed to be considering how to speak.

   "Losha, let me tell you my story, you probably don't know it well yet?"

   Lothar relaxed, leaned back in the chair, raised his hand and made a "please speak" gesture.

   "That's a fresh story."

  The eyes of the old scholar revealed the brilliance of nostalgia.

  'S eyes are long, it seems to be back in time.

   "I am not a native of the Secret Continent. I was born in the Guqin Continent, the Kingdom of Philia, a declining family of barons."

   The continent where the Duchy of Pas is located is the secret continent, the site of the once magical country-"Semilukanert", just west of the center of the continent.

  The Guqin Continent is a continent to the northwest of the Secret Continent. It is connected with the Secret Continent and the Bojialu Mountain Range, and it faces the mainland of Doron across the Fest Strait.

   "As you know, the elves originated in the Guqin continent. The elves have always had a strong influence on the continent countries. The human kingdom, Philia, is naturally no exception."

   "Speaking of which, it's really a unique race."

   "An elf can live a normal life span of over 120 years. It is not surprising to live a little better, one hundred and five, or even two hundred years old."

   "The elves in the past can really be called the most powerful race. The number of magicians in the clan is basically the same as the number of our human wizards."

   Corresponding to the long lifespan of the elves are the lower birth rate and the unsatisfactory population size.

   Therefore, this comparison does not affect the evaluation of the power of the elves.

   "Unfortunately, how powerful the magic civilization of the elves was, how much elves now hate mages."

   Old Fisher said with a mocking smile.

   Among the long-lived elves, even an ordinary member has relatively active mental power.

  The whole family of elves can use the power of magic element more or less.

   This is not only the foundation of a strong family, but also the root of disaster.

  Mage is a very interesting class, once they have identified a certain point of view, they will not hesitate to verify it.

  At the end of the magical civilization, when the mage was saving his own destiny and becoming crazy.

   They generally believe that the effect of sacrificing life with magic element talent is better than sacrificing ordinary intelligent life.

   The lives of the whole world suffer for this.

  The elves are the worst race among them.

   is not only because they generally have magical talents.

   There is also the factor of the high proportion of wizards of the elves.

   For the human race, a member is sacrificed by a mage, and at most a few related families suffer.

   For the elves, it is the suffering of the whole family.

   At the end of the magical civilization, the madness of the wizard caused the entire Elf population to drop by more than 70%.

   In addition to the damage from the subsequent war, half of the population has to say hello to whether the elves have recovered to their heyday.

  The hatred of the wizard for the wizard is deeply rooted.

   Lin Peng took a sip of tea and continued.

  "Because the damage from the wizard is too great, the elves have been spared no effort to eliminate the trace of the wizard.

  Even if their strength is greatly reduced, the elves are still the overlord of the guqin, not to mention that other countries are also severely persecuted by the mages.

   Guqin Dashang has never slowed down the pursuit of the mage.

  Once a trace of a mage is found, whether it is true or false, the relevant ones will be cut and wiped out.

   Every volume that may contain information about the mage must be strictly investigated. Affected by this, many books were burned and the author and his family were obliterated.

   When I first saw real books, I was already a teenager as old as Hepburn.

   Before this, I just wrote my name.

  The things that    do all day, in addition to eating and sleeping, are hanging out in the territory with his father.

   When I saw the book for the first time, I didn’t even know what ‘she’ was.

   My mother told me that it was a ‘book’.

  In my mother...".

  Speaking of this, Lin Peng looked at Lothar suddenly and said solemnly, "That is a respectable, gentle and powerful woman."

   Seeing Lothar nodded, he continued, "With the help of my mother, I stubbornly finished the book."

   "What kind of book is that, it's as dazzling as the sun, dazzling, sacred..."

  The eyes of the old scholar suddenly appeared enthusiastic, and the scorching eyes were like the sun he was talking about, making Lothar a little afraid to look directly.

  " "Common Buildings of the Elves", I still remember the name of the book.

   As the title says, it is a book that introduces the common buildings of the elves, what are the buildings in the forest, what are the buildings on the cliffs, what are the buildings by the river...

   is such a simple book, but it overturned my world.

   I always thought that the world is a brown hill, and houses are piled with mud. "

   "Every word and every word in the book makes me feel a kind of inexplicable excitement.

   I held that book all day, and secretly took it out to look through it, once, twice...My inner impulse became stronger. "

   "Unfortunately, my father discovered the matter."

   Lin Peng's expression suddenly dimmed.

   "He hit me and my mother hard.

   The mother who has always respected him as a guest and loved him.

   The thick branches were broken several times, my back was covered with wounds, and my mother was bruised all over.

   Father was crying and beating. "

   "In the beginning, I hated him very much. I hated him for beating my mother. I hated that I even wanted to kill him."

   "But my mother just cried and didn't hate him at all."

   "Now, I still don't forgive him for beating his mother.

   But I no longer hate him.

   only left, unforgettable guilt. "

   Lin Peng looked at the calm expression on Lothar's face, and suddenly felt like meeting a bosom friend.

   He smiled relievedly, "I only understood later that my father was too scared."

   "Even if he declines, he is expensive to be a baron, and his experience is much richer than mine.

   So he knows what the country’s attitude towards mages is.

   And my state at the time was so similar to the fanatical attitude of the mage's pursuit of knowledge. "

  "How could he not be afraid, not cowardly, but not dare to imagine the consequences of his beloved family being connected with the mage.

   Even if there is no evidence, a far-fetched connection. "

   "How can he not be afraid."

   There was a long silence.

   "But I never understood my father's painstaking efforts. I simply thought he was a weak and incompetent man.

   I lay in the hospital bed for two months, and my illness repeated several times before finally recovering.

   My father apologized to me in tears, but I didn't care at all.

   The books that were taken away and burned are still clearly engraved in my mind.

   I seem to feel a strong call.

   Soon after the injury healed, I left home alone. Leaving the place of childhood life. "

   "I have never been back since."

   "I keep walking along the road, you know, I don't have your martial arts.

   stumbling, relying on writing to people, all the way to the royal capital'Mozkeku'.

   I got a job drawing a map there.

   Later, in a black shop, I bought the second book of my life, "Solato's Travels".

   This is a book about a man named Solat, traveling in the Guqin countries. There are many typos, but I am still ecstatic. "

   "But soon, the black shop that sold me books was closed.

   The merchant family and their relatives were burned alive on the square in the center of the city on charges of colluding with the mage.

   I can still vaguely remember their terrible shouts at that time.

   Soon after, I learned that the traveler named Solat was also killed on the same charge. "

   "I was scared and ran away from my home country in a hurry."

  "But outside of the country, this tense situation did not relax in the slightest.

   I continued to flee, until I escaped from the continent where I grew up.

   Since then, a journey of more than ten years has begun. "

   Lothar got up, filled the old scholar with tea again, and then asked, "What happened later?"

   "Don't worry, I haven't talked about these things for a long time. You let me slow down and think about how to say it."

   Lin Peng, who was talking a little dry, took a sip after picking up the teacup, but was scalded by the hot water. He quickly removed the teacup and fanned back and forth with his hands to relieve the pain of his tongue.

   really looks like an old child.

   The naked contempt in Lothar's eyes made the old man unbearable, and he coughed and diverted his attention.

   "Oh, let's continue, I think about where I have been, oh yes, the journey...

   I can't remember whether it was eighteen or twenty.

   I went to live temporarily in a country at the southernmost tip of Guqin mainland.

   At that time, I had grown a lot and understood a lot of truth.

   I learned to hide myself and live there only as a grocery merchant.

  Actually, with the experience gained during my travels, I might be able to become a big businessman too.

  Unfortunately, I still can't get rid of the temptation of books. The words in the books are hard for me to give up.

   I secretly collect all kinds of books, carefully not to be discovered by others.

  This kind of behavior actually has a lot of similarities with the wizards.

   In order to be able to escape at any time, I dare not hold books for a long time.

   After collecting the books during that time, the first thing I had to do was not to "read", but to record "she" firmly in my mind, and wait to read it slowly in the future.

   Then, I will burn these precious books.

   For me, it is more difficult to accept than losing my life.

   During that time, I have been struggling with joy and pain. "

   "Later, I learned of the existence of Dorront from the merchants in the past.

  According to what they said, on the Dorront Continent, various countries did not pay much attention to the mage, and there was no such rigorous search on the Guqin Continent.

   I was overjoyed when I heard it, and I couldn’t wait to pack my belongings and board the merchant ship heading to the mainland of Dorront.

   is really ironic, I am not a mage, but I want to hide like this. "

   The old scholar has a strange expression on his face. Soon, Lothar knew why this expression came from.

  "The merchants didn't lie, and the mainland of Dorron did not rigorously search the mage.

   It's not because mainland residents don't hate mages, but because they really don't have the ability to search. "

   "On that continent, the climate is hot, and people tend to live in a place with a lot of water and grass.

   But in many places, it is indeed a desolate area with hidden human traces. UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com

   There is very little communication between the various settlements, even if you want to search for the mage, it is a difficult task.

   Unfortunately, I am not satisfied with this place.

   Because, there are no books here. "

   "Hahahaha... I laughed so hard."

  Looking at the tangled expression on the old scholar's face, Lothar could no longer control herself.

  Dorron continent is the birthplace of the orcs. Except for a few other ethnic countries, most of the government organizations are tribes or tribal alliances.

   Affected by the martial arts of the orcs, the mainlanders of Dorron prefer force rather than wisdom.

  If Lothar used to live exceptionally moisturized, Lin Peng, don't talk about it.

   Under Lin Peng's glare, Lothar finally stopped laughing and motioned for him to continue.

  "There are very few books circulating in the Dorront continent. It took me a year to collect only two or three books.

   This is too little for me.

   In addition, the business is sluggish and there are few people writing letters. I can't even make ends meet.

   can only leave that continent in the end. "

   Forced Lothar to suppress the unstoppable smile with his eyes, Lin Peng continued.

   "So I embarked on the journey of travel again, this time the goal was the secret continent that was once the center of the world.

   Mystical Continent is, after all, a place where magical civilization once flourished, with a profound historical background.

   I thought, there should be more books circulating on this continent.

   With the experience of Dorront, I found that I care more about knowledge than life.

   So at this time, I don't care about the society's pursuit of mages. "

   "Afterwards, I wandered in the secret continent for a few years.

   Finally, I came to the Duchy of Perth. "
