After driving away the little brat who was seeking his own death, Ma Lin found himself with nothing to do.

He wanted to learn the magic technique, but the magic instructors had been banned by old Hoffman. Anyone who dared to teach Marin a magic technique would be hung on a high tower for a whole week.

Considering that a certain squirrel had been hanging there for a whole day, Marin didn't want to be so shameless as to beg everyone - this was no longer just about being cute to get the spell, it was about selling the lives of all the instructors.

Think about it, forget it. The squirrel tutor Minsk Pybris ignored Marin for several days. In the end, Marin bribed him again with buttered popcorn, but the squirrel refused to teach him any more.

Marin did not force high-level spells.

Since he couldn't do academic work, Marin wanted to go to the training ground, but found that there were not many people in the entire training ground who could fight him - except for the sword dancer instructor Monica Green Sea, but instructor Monica often went to the Elf Chamber of Commerce

Help, in her words, although Marin's martial arts skills are good, his bloodline still makes him rely too much on strength. The Elf Sword Dance pursues speed, rather than cutting something away with one sword.

Before Marin understands the true meaning of Sword Dance, she will not take him to participate in the elf mission.

So Marin finally had no choice but to start writing a novel. It was impossible to directly transfer the Sherlock Holmes collection. This world has a special side to this world, so it had to be rewritten, otherwise it would not even pass the National Publishing House——

But to be honest, before Marin came to the world, he never thought that his love of reading would bring him such an opportunity.

Wen Chao Gong, how great.

Matilda showed no sadness at all, as if the unlucky guy who was abandoned because of his age was not him. She went out for a walk with Faye and put on a maid outfit when she came back.

A bold black dress with a white apron, beautiful little leather boots, matching her long tail and petite body...she is really a cute little vixen.

Let her give everyone's bowls tonight.

………………

Having said that, after dinner, Marin sent the girls to the living room to rest, and he and Matilda washed the dishes together.

"Speaking of which, Master Marin really doesn't look like a young master. In my memory, there has never been an extraordinary person who could wash the dishes by himself." Matilda said while wiping the dishes. Judging from her technique,

, completely contrary to what she said.

Marin smiled, took the bowl and started to wash: "I almost starved to death before I was picked up by my adoptive father a year ago, so I don't think I am a young master, nor do I think I will become an extraordinary person.

Those who are born nobler than those who cannot acquire extraordinary abilities."

"Hey, didn't you go to the charity food court of the Just Church? In winter, the Just Church gives a full meal to orphans and beggars in the city every day." Matilda looked at Marin and frowned:

"Mr. Marin, is it boring dignity that dominates you?"

I don't know the road at all.

Marin complained, and then nodded awkwardly: "Yes, I have hands and feet, and I don't want to compete with those poor people who are missing arms and legs."

This sentence made Matilda silent for a moment, and she finally sighed: "If everyone were like you, Mr. Marin, there wouldn't be so many shameless bastards in the world."

"If there is no evil in the world, then wouldn't there be no meaning for your existence?" Marlin asked Matilda.

The little fox shook his head: "If there were no evil in the world, we would be willing to face the ending of disappearance, but precisely because there is no such beauty, that is the meaning of our existence."

Matilda spoke very softly, but Marin still heard it clearly. To this, Marin replied very understandingly: "Yes, a sage from a foreign land said that everyone has to pay for their own choices.

The price is like this for evil people, and so are we." Changing the dirty bowl in his hand, Marin looked at the night outside the window: "I once had a dream, Matilda, you must not have dreamed about me.

"

"What dream is this?" Matilda asked curiously, while still working hard to wash the dishes.

"I have dreamed of a strange world. Huge iron birds fly in the sky. Steel creations carry people running. People can eat as long as they work hard. There are no monsters or alien species."

"Wow, it sounds great. I have never had such a dream, because it is so beautiful." Matilda said with a smile.

And Marin sighed: "All these beauties were exchanged for the lives of the predecessors in that world, and I also feel that what they did was like saints. Some of them died for the sake of innocent people, and some of them died.

Dying for the realization of ideals, some people dying for justice... Matilda, in my heart, heroes are not the towering statues, but those who fight for the innocent, die for the truth, and die for the truth.

Faith is a person who is willing to stain his hands with blood and sacrifice his life for the survival of the cubs.”

"You know, Matilda." Marin looked at the girl in front of him: "In that world, when I was very young, I swore to be that kind of person... Even if I wake up from the dream,

I am still like this, so I miss the beauty in my dreams and face the cruel reality without fear. Maybe different people have different views. The beauty I believe in is like hell in the eyes of others, but I still will

I believe in it because I have sworn it."

Marin's words made Matilda silent for a moment, and then she nodded with a smile: "Okay, Marin, then I'll wait and see."

After saying that, Matilda lowered her head. While working hard, Matilda narrowed her eyes... Mr. Marin, the prophet of the church said that you are the messenger of fire and that you will lead everyone in the dark age.

Move forward so that innocent people will not be swallowed up by the darkness.

Mr. Bishop believes this prophecy, and he asked me to follow you and witness this prophecy come true.

I don't believe in prophecies.

Because I believe in heroes, but I also believe in mortals in this world. Only countless noble people like mentors can save this ruined world.

But today, Matilda witnessed a mortal who was said to be a fire bearer speaking such a noble oath.

Suddenly I felt that Mr. Marin was so handsome. Is this the love Faye said?

Thinking of this, Matilda swung her tail.

If you don't do something like "Just Girl", which is played by children, it won't be done well.

………………

The days of eating and waiting to die always pass quickly. Winter is over in a blink of an eye, and it is the hunting season again - this hunting is not the last time Marin went to Faye Hunting Ground. That time they hunted the fattest ones in autumn.

The prey of spring is the waking spirits.

After being hungry all winter, these spirits will instinctively choose food after waking up. As for the ingredients of the food, that is not what they care about.

Therefore, major churches and guilds will organize people to go into villages, towns and wild places to carry out hunting activities for monsters.

This is a large-scale event, and it is also very dangerous because there are so many monsters in the wild. Every year at least one team of apprentices lose their lives.

As a first-year student, Marin was not required to participate, but with the consent of the elder Hoffman, Marin was able to join Faye's team.

On the route, Faye chose the northeastern plain area as the team's hunting route. This area is a real mixed zone, ranging from zombies, which encounter opponents with difficulty less than one, to chaos, which is casual with at least five steps.

The difficulty of the Chaos Invasion Team is something that ordinary apprentice teams would never dare to think about.

But Faye's team composition was really good, plus Marin was there, so she decided to take this route.

Marin took a look at the team composition. The first was the mages - Faye, Lilim, Cross, and Maya, the big safety rope.

In addition, among long-range shooters, Maya's crossbow is getting better and better as she plays with it. The two dwarf girls in Faye's class follow the team with muskets. Marin knows them and they are a pair of good shooters.

For melee combat, Faye brought everyone in her class with her. For this, Marin could only say that although there were more than a dozen melee combatants, a random group of farts was definitely not enough to kill them - and with more people, some

Cunning sneak attack monsters will not choose to take action.

With the addition of Marin, this team can be said to be very luxurious, and Marin also arranged the team. Marin naturally took the lead, and he walked at the front with two dwarves in shield battle - these dwarves held the same shield as them.

shield, hand ax hung on his waist, and a revolver in his right hand.

Faye's classmates are responsible for taking care of the two wings and the rear. Their task is to protect the girls in the middle of the team. When encountering a large-scale battle, the other side will come to support.

Faye stood in the back row with the girls, and the only thing he had to do was to use various spells to drown anyone who dared to resist.

In Marin's imagination, the spirits must come like a tide, but the fact is that there are indeed many spirits, but many of them are various animal spirits. Most of them are "sallow and thin" and look completely non-threatening.

, although they are more likely to attack driven by hunger when they see a crowd, they are usually defeated before the team even gets close.

Even if some of them got close, they encountered Marin - Marin didn't use a musket, but took a small branch and poked one in the eye.

"I kind of understand what Xing Yan means when he goes out hunting with you as if it were an outing." The dwarf said, looking at the corpse at his feet.

Marin smiled, and then noticed a small figure rushing over. Marin quickly raised a small branch and swung it at the little yellow figure. The latter dodged and then jumped in front of Marin.

It was a squirrel, jumping up and down towards Marin.

"It's a spirit. Why doesn't it attack?" The young man who noticed this moment asked curiously.

Marin smiled and shook his head: "Who knows."

Then he lowered his body as if he had thought of something: "Are you... the halfling's pet from before?"

The little squirrel jumped and then looked at Marlin.

Marin thought for a while and stretched out his hand.

The little squirrel jumped onto Marin's hand, and it was only then that Marin felt its weight.

very light.
