noble magician

Lance turned into a tavern that didn't even have a signboard, "Please give me a bottle of mead." He stood in front of the counter and said.

"Hey, little Lance, you're buying wine for your father again, that drunkard!" an uncle who was drinking in the shop said loudly, his voice hoarse than usual because of drunkenness, "Come here, come and have a drink! So I came back late, I must have gone to work, it’s hard work!"

There was a sincere smile on Lance's face. After a busy day, how could he not be tired?But as soon as he heard the voice of a familiar person, he felt that all the fatigue was swept away, and his whole body was full of energy again.

"You can't drink alcohol at the age of 14, uncle, I will come to accompany you in a few years."

"Hey hey, you boy..." The drinking uncle said and poured a large glass of liquid into his stomach.

"Your mead, Lance." The tall and thin shopkeeper handed over a small bottle of wine. He took the money and said with a sigh, "Ender is really disgraceful. If I had a son as good as you, I wouldn't Hurry up baby? Hide all the gold coins in the future and see what he buys for wine!"

The owner of the shop sells wine, but asks others to hide the gold coins and not buy them... It's really because Lance's father is too shameful. Not only did he rarely fulfill his father's responsibilities, but he also made the young Lance earn money Buy him a drink!At the same time, he felt sorry for Lance.

Lance smiled and took the bottle. Every time he saw people in the town, they said these words the most, and Lance was used to it.He cast another freezing spell on the Frost Licorice in his backpack and left the tavern.This kind of grass needs to be stored in a special box, and the price is not cheap, so he had to use this method to preserve it.

Lance went out from the back door of the tavern and came to a dark alley.The darkness was nothing to him at all, he performed a candlelight technique casually, and a small ball of light lit up above his head, like a moving lamp, which was very convenient without him holding it, but the sudden light The bright light startled the others in the alley.

In the dark alley, there were two people who were doing business in the dark.Their trousers were piled loose at their feet, revealing two big white buttocks and hairy legs.Under the illumination of the candlelight technique, it looks even more white.

Startled by the sudden light, they froze in place and even forgot to lift their pants. Their four eyes looked at Lance who was walking calmly as if they had seen a ghost.

Lance didn't know how many times he walked through this alley. The first time he saw someone fooling around was when he was five years old.

Lance, who was brought up in free range, didn't know what they were doing, and no one told him the principle of no evil, so after seeing the scene in front of him again and again, he has long been familiar with it.In his eyes, that is the mating behavior of two creatures. Although the person who made the behavior is a human, it is no different from other animals. He really thinks so.

With a ball of light on his head, Lance passed by the two people calmly, and then walked leisurely towards home.

"Father, I'm back from buying you wine." Lance pushed open the wooden door of the house. Following his movements, the old door panel made a "squeak", breaking the silence of the night.

The room was pitch dark, and no one responded.A man was curled up on the bed in the corner of the room, sleeping soundly, and Lance's arrival failed to wake him up from his dream.

He glanced at his father, put the things in his hands on the table, kicked off his shoes, and climbed onto another bed. Before going to bed, he did not forget to wrap a thick layer of ice in the frosty licorice.

Lance's father, Ander, was a blacksmith. He was actually not that old. He made armor and leather goods. He had a good craft but was extremely lazy.

Most of the time he doesn't do anything, he eats and drinks when he has food and drinks, and when there is no food or drink, he goes out for a couple of laps, or simply falls asleep.Occasionally someone came to the door, or only started to work when they were really broke.

There is such a father, except for the period when he was a child who didn't know anything and couldn't do anything, Lance took care of him most of the time.He used the gold coins earned by little Lance to buy food and drink, and lived his life in a daze.

Counting it down, this father is really terrible. If you want to say the one thing this father did right, it would be the thing he taught Lance magic.Lance has been using those beginner-level magics until now.

Yes, this is a magician and blacksmith, but for some reason, it is so bleak, maybe it is because of his laziness.You must know that as long as you are born as a magician, you will not have a bad life. This is a profession that is naturally popular.

Although novice-level magic skill books can be bought in many shops, one book costs hundreds of gold coins.Thanks to Ender's whim one day, he taught Lance a few beginner-level magics, otherwise the two of them would not even have the current standard of living.

"My dear son, you bought me mead!"

The next day, the old man woke up and saw the mead on the table. He tasted the mead with relish even without eating, regardless of the harmful effects of drinking on an empty stomach.

"At least let's eat something first."

Lance was fiddling with retorts, test tubes and other things in a corner of the room, very busy.He glanced at his father, who seemed to be only interested in alcohol forever, and continued to work on the matter at hand.

Ender turned a deaf ear to his son's instructions, and enjoyed the slightly intoxicated feeling of alcohol with a contented face.

"Mead... the best thing in the world..." he murmured.

The reason why Lance bought Frost Licorice was actually to prepare a poison—a powerful magic expulsion potion.

As the name suggests, this is a powerful anti-demon potion.Just one dose can make a person lose all magic power within a few minutes, and at the same time, it will continue to act on the body of the magician, so that they will not be able to retain a trace of magic power in their bodies for the next few days.If the situation is serious, it may even be abolished from then on, and magic can no longer be used.

Almost every mage has tasted the taste of running out of magic power, and will show many adverse symptoms such as dizziness, dizziness, and weakness. After drinking this potion, the situation is more than ten times worse.

But the poison that is so poisonous to others is a life-saving medicine to Lance. Most of the gold coins he has earned over the years have been spent on this medicine.

Since he was a child, he has had magical riots every four months.The magic power on his body surged aggressively like a flood, almost bursting his tiny body, so he had to drink a potion to dissolve it.

However, as he grows older, the occurrence of magic riots becomes more frequent. Up to now, in less than a month, he needs to take a powerful magic expulsion potion, and the corresponding frost licorice is also needed. more and more.

Although Lance is much more capable than before and can earn more gold coins, he still can't afford such consumption, and his life is very difficult.

A series of bubbles popped out of the test tube, and the color of the liquid also changed from light green to transparent, indicating that the potion had been prepared.Lance brought a special bottle and transferred the prepared medicine into it.He saved up more than a month's worth of gold coins, and he only made two small bottles of the potion from the frosty licorice he bought.

"Hic—" Lance's father hiccupped, and leaned back in the chair in a disfigured manner, looking sluggish.

"Is Mr. Ander there?" The sweet voice of a young girl sounded outside the door.

Lance's father—that is, Ender—immediately straightened his back, straightened his clothes, and went out to greet him: "Ah, it's you, Winnie, what's the matter?"

"I passed by here and brought you some fruits and vegetables." Miss Winnie was carrying a basket of fruits and vegetables, smiling in the sun, her young face was slightly pink, and she handed the basket in her hand to Ender.

Lance's father took the basket while saying, "How embarrassing this is, it cost you too much."

Winnie chatted with Ender for a few words as usual, and finally said something with some hesitation.

"My brother asked me about you recently."

Lance's father was taken aback, and said, "Well, what did you ask?"

Winnie's elder brother works under a nobleman in Scorching Wind City. He has always had his eyes set above the ground, and hardly interacts with people in the town. It is said that he doesn't care much about his sister at home. I don't know why he suddenly asked. Ender's business?

Lance in the room also had the same question, and listened with pricked ears.

"It's nothing, I just asked about your situation." Winnie said shyly.

"Oh, that's right..." Ender's eyes flashed, and he replied casually.

"Ah, do you have anything else to do? You go ahead, I'm going back." The girl named Winnie hurriedly ended the conversation.

Everyone knew that Ender was a lazy man, only this Winnie turned a blind eye to this fact.

After the girl left, Lance poked his head out of the room and asked, "Do you want to marry her?"

In fact, his father was a very good-looking man. Although he looked decadent, he couldn't hide the handsomeness on his face.It is said that when he first came to the town, he secretly caused quite a stir.Although she brought a child, she still provoked a lot of flowers and plants.But as people got to know him better, fewer and fewer girls were interested in him.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about!" Ender cursed.

This afternoon, a man dressed as a standard butler came to the door of Lance's cabin in a gorgeous carriage. His arrival aroused many discussions in the town.
