A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Levi walked into Charlie's house and looked around.

His first impression was that the inside of the house was the same as the outside.

There was not even putty on the walls, and the cement was leaking out. It was a rough house.

The living room of Charlie's house also serves as a bedroom. There is a large bed in the corner, covered with many layers of sheets, all of which are yellowed and have stains that cannot be washed away.

There were tables and chairs in the living room. A thin woman stood up uneasily after seeing Levi.

"Hello...Hello, I am Charlie's mother, Louise. Charlie, go make a cup of tea for sir."

Louise said a little nervously, Charlie told her that the gentleman in front of her was from Seris and he should like to drink tea, right?

"Don't be so nervous." Levi comforted him, pulled out his chair, sat down, and got straight to the point.

"I'm visiting you today because I want to talk about Charlie. Maybe you already know that I intend to sponsor him to study."

After hearing this, Louise pursed her lips slightly, with a trace of embarrassment on her face.

"You are so kind, sir," Louise said. "I would be very happy if Charlie could go to school. It would be a good thing for him."

"But, I have a request, can you take him with you?"

"You want me to take him with me all the time?" Levi was stunned. Such a request was completely beyond his expectation.

No, such an unreasonable request is obviously not something a normal person can make.

Levi thought for a moment and asked softly: "Madam, is there anything hidden in your family?"

By this time, Charlie had brought tea, which was just black tea in very poor quality, with some tea foam in the tea.

Louise lowered her head, rubbed the cup with both hands, and then said

"Sorry sir, I also know that this request is a bit excessive."

"However, I'm afraid his father might disapprove of Charlie going to school..."

Levi was a little surprised that children could get the opportunity to go to school. For a family like theirs, this was something that allowed them to transcend class.

Louise continued to lower her head and said sadly.

"His father was addicted to drugs."

……

Charlie's father, Fred Hank, was a soldier who participated in the World War as a member of the 41st Infantry Division of the United States.

Before participating in the World War, Fury had always been a qualified father. Even after he went to Xizhou to participate in the war, he often mailed money and letters from him to his family.

Until the Battle of the Main in 1918.

On that day, Fury's company was sent to support the position near Les. The battle started at ten o'clock in the morning. At that time, there was mist in the sky and the ground was muddy. They lay in the trench under the cover of cross fire, fighting with the enemy's A battalion was engaged.

But just an hour after the war started, a huge armored fortress like an iron box ran over the barbed wire fence. The bullets from the M1917 machine gun hit it like gravel hitting an elephant. It ignored the firepower of the Allied soldiers, and the body The Maxim machine guns on both sides swept across the trench, like dropping a string of stones on a calm lake. The splashes of blood and dust were like splashes of water, and the Allied soldiers in the trench were beaten into broken dolls by bullets.

Fury lost an arm on his left side in this battle. He was lucky that he survived; but he was also unlucky that his doctor used high doses of morphine to give him pain relief. This drug has many Strong addiction.

After the war, Fury was disarmed and discharged, but his addiction to morphine did not disappear with the end of the war. It haunted Fury all the time.

At first, Fury was able to restrain this desire by relying on his sense of responsibility to his family. But gradually, Fury has been unable to find a job due to his disability, and his desire has become stronger and stronger. He had to secretly buy some morphine to suppress himself. Later, he saw a newspaper advertising a drug that can help people quit morphine. , so he started using heroin again.

But it was not until half a year later that he realized that he had been deceived. This thing called "Hailein" was not a drug for drug treatment, but a more terrifying evil.

But at this time, Fury was completely unable to get rid of the heroin, and even morphine could not bring him relief.

What's even worse is that the arsenal where Louise worked gradually suffered losses due to the loss of war orders, and finally closed down completely a year ago. She lost her job, or the entire family lost their job, and the whole family could only rely on Louise. The day laborers and Charlie maintained their income from selling newspapers.

"He gradually changed... from a good person who focused on family, to a bastard who only wanted money and drugs..." Louise said, the corners of her eyes already turning red.

"So, sir, I hope you can let Charlie leave this city, otherwise his father will definitely find him. But he is too young, we have no relatives, and we don't know who else can take care of him after he leaves us ..." There was a vibrato in Louise's voice.

And Levi listened quietly, silently.

Li Wei suddenly thought of one thing. When did he change from a sunny and cheerful person to a profit-oriented person?

Is it from the time when you first traveled through time? Or when he killed the first wizard? Or when he kills ordinary people who may be harmful to him?

So much so that now, when he was funding Charlie, he even subconsciously analyzed the benefits to himself. This was unreasonable to the former Levi. He had always believed that when he had spare power, he should do some harm to the people around him. Helping hand.

What happened to me?

Have you really not thought about how evil this thing is?

No, he thought about it, but he took the initiative to forget about it. He hid the essence of the matter under the cloak of "this is to solve the case", wrapped under the cloak of "none of this is my responsibility", wrapped in the cloak of "I It's also a helpless move" and swallowed it whole.

Why would I do this?

No, no, I once tried to be an ordinary person - in Bridgewick, when I first came to this city, when I first received the commission to investigate the kangaroo robbers. But the result was that he was preyed upon by the Bridgewick gang, discriminated against and unable to find a job, and treated as goods by human traffickers.

Yes, I have tried to work hard like ordinary people, but this country does not allow it, no one allows it, and only through those roads that they do not allow me to do can I get out of the bottom the fastest.

If I just look for an ordinary job, sooner or later I will be bullied by others again. If I resist, I may be found to be a wizard and be dragged into the forest; if I don't resist, I will be trapped in the lowest level of the world for the rest of my life.

Yes, it's not my fault, it's this country's fault, it's the world's fault, they hate kindness, they like benefits.

They don't even know how to protect their own soldiers, so they won't even protect us foreigners.

That's why I choose profit.
