Although he has been away from home for a full ten years, Rob still has a clear impression of his hometown.

At the Royal Academy of Magic of Tist, the column about his hometown in his file is Jianbang Port of Liberty City, which is one of the largest city-states in the sea. In terms of prosperity, it can reach the Port of Brado. But in fact, Rob's hometown and Jianbang Port are 108,000 miles apart, and there is no relationship of half a cent at all.

The boy actually came from a small town called Ryan. In the northeast of the Principal of Andela, the Principal of Andela is a medium-sized country affiliated to the Holy Alliance. It was less than a hundred years old and the current ruler is Toman III, known as the Duke of Bauhinia.

The reason why Rob lied about this matter was not for vanity. He felt that a small town like Ryan did not sound ashamed if he didn't sound like a big city like Jianwan Port. Anyway, he was just a poor student who couldn't get enough tuition fees at that time, and no matter which city he came from, he couldn't change this ironclad fact.

If you insist on saying something, the boy just subconsciously didn't want to involve Ryan. In his memory, Ryan was a beautiful and peaceful town. Because he was adjacent to the endless sea of ​​trees and was far away from the war, the residents of the town were honest and simple, and the only specialty was sugar. Although the economy was backward and the location was blocked, everyone always had smiles on their faces. When they met, they would greet each other and say gossips like "Hahaha, today's weather is good" or "You look very beautiful". The harvest season would also bring out the things in their respective fields to share with everyone.

Over the years, the most powerful person in the town was probably the second son of the mayor, a first-level apprentice knight. He was the dream lover of all Ryan girls at that time and the idol of boys. Legend has it that he was recruited into the Preparatory Knights, went to the capital, met the Duke of Bauhinia, and even talked to the Duke.

During a military parade, the duke wanted to relieve his skills but couldn't find a place. He was very anxious and asked the young man standing guard, "Child, where is the toilet."

"There were so many people present at that time, but the Duke chose my son! This shows that at the critical moment, the Duke knew who he should trust the most!!!"

The mayor explained this matter so much. Sometimes when he was excited, he would ask the apprentice knight to extend his hand and shout, "Come on, let everyone see, this hand is the way that the Duke pointed out."

At this time, the apprentice knights often blushed and begged in a low voice, "Dad, don't... stop talking."

Yes, Ryan is such an ordinary little place. People here live an ordinary life, and magic seems to be far away from them. Most people have never seen a magician or other high-level profession in their entire lives.

Well, if you go back to Ryan, as long as you are a little low-key, you should be able to hide your identity and live like an ordinary person.

Perhaps the boy had foresaw his miserable future at that time, and in order to leave a way out for himself, he concealed his hometown by chance.

The reason why he chose Jianwan Port was because Rob walked with a small merchant from the Liberty City State on the way to the Royal Magic Academy of Tist. The small merchant told him about the prosperity of Jianwan Port, and then he gradually described many of the customs and customs of Jianwan Port to him. The smart boy not only recorded all of these, but also imitated the accent of the small merchant.

Therefore, he said that he was an orphan from Jianwan Port, and no one had ever expressed doubts.

In the entire continent, except Rob himself, no one knew that he actually came from the town called Ryan in the northeast of the Principality of Andera, and that place he lived with his relatives.

The relationship between the boy has always been a bit complicated for the man he calls his father.

Rob's father was not an indigenous person in the town. He was a brave man before. Well, the title of this profession in different places is sometimes different. Some people call them adventurers or mercenaries. In short, they are just a group of guys who travel around the world and help others solve problems and occasionally create some troubles.

In terms of strength, there are some very powerful guys, but most of them are not much better than ordinary people.

But their lives are quite casual.

The standard life of a brave man is probably like this - sleep until he wakes up naturally every day - take the groggy head that he drank last night to accept the commissioned tasks - have a good drink before leaving! - Complete the task or burp-use the money he earned to go back to the tavern to continue drinking! (If you have the life to come back) - wake up naturally until you sleep the next day.

Basically, it’s just repeating the above cycle, which is nothing to do with health or health.

Rob's father had a life of similar drunkenness and dreams before. He was separated from his companions while executing the commission and accidentally ran to Ryan, where he met a beautiful and kind girl.

Old Ricks suddenly realized that he could not run anymore, and the ale in his hand was no longer as exciting as before.

So he returned to the town called Ryan, and with the beautiful girl, he divided the small attic where they lived into two parts. The first floor facing the street was changed to a small door-side and opened a grocery store called "We couple".

A year later they gave birth to a little boy named Rob.

So the grocery store changed its name again.

Rob often wondered how great it would have been if the original story had continued like this.

Their family of three will always live happily in this quiet and beautiful town. For this reason, he would rather give up everything he has now, such as the super magician of the future, the hope of mankind, and the most talented magician in history. He has never really taken these things to heart.

The boy clenched his fists, and it was all blamed for that man.

When Rob was six years old, Old Ricks was somehow obsessed with gambling.

At first, he was just a small fight, but later he became more and more addicted to gambling. Not only did he lose all the money he saved from running a grocery store over the years, but he also owed a lot of debts.

My mother quarreled with him every day. One night it was raining heavily. My angry mother slammed the door and ran to the suburbs of the town alone. When she was a child, her grandfather told her that if there were unhappy things and couldn't tell others, just tell the tree holes, and you would feel better after you said it.

But when she went there, she never came back. When she passed by a dangerous bridge, the bridge deck suddenly collapsed. The next day, people found her from the downstream and no longer breathed.

When his mother was buried, Rob cried all night. He had never hated someone so much. The boy felt that such a thing happened because of that man and his willful habits made his mother leave this world.

Since then, the boy has never said a word to that man again.

After his wife passed away, the man seemed to give up on himself, and his bet became even more fierce. When he had no money, he picked up his old career and took on some dangerous tasks.

Every time he goes out, the boy hopes that he can die like this.

But unfortunately, his wish was not heard by the gods in heaven.

No matter how dangerous the commission was, Old Ricks could come back alive. No matter how serious the injury was, there were several times when he seemed to be at any time, but he could immediately jump back alive after lying in bed for four or five days.

Is this the legendary good man who has no life and has been ruined for thousands of years?

The boy felt unprecedented despair.

Until Rob's eighth birthday, Old Ricks called him to his side, took out a purse from the place close to his chest, and handed it to him.

"I know you have always wanted to escape from this home, so go to the Royal Magic Academy of Tist. When you were born, I invited a friend to visit you. He said you have the potential to become a magician. From that day on, I have started saving money for you, one gold coin a year, and this year it just takes you to spend a year's tuition, but you have to find a way for the toll and food expenses."

Rob opened his purse, and there were eight golden coins lying in it.

The boy knew that if his grocery store had a good business in a year, he could earn six silver coins.

In other words, these eight gold coins are undoubtedly a huge sum of money for their family.

But why did he make so much money silently?

The boy remembered the dangerous tasks that this man had taken over those years. How many times did he stumble back home with blood, and climbed onto the bed like a dead dog, making a difficult breath in the middle of the night. Rob finally understood what supported him and refused to close his eyes.

Silently feeling the remaining warmth that had not yet passed on the eight gold coins, Rob fell into silence.

Old Ricks is addicted to gambling. When he is anxious, he can even put up his underwear and begs for his grandparents to borrow money. The boy never thought that he always had such a huge sum of money in his arms. Even when the gambling addiction was at its worst, Old Ricks never thought of using the money.

No, it should be said that he has never even had such a thought.
