Chapter 68 [The Past] (seeking a monthly ticket)

"Shawn, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly agree to the teacher to go to the barren place to preach."

Not to mention Nick, even Adele couldn't help asking, after all, before they could react to what the barren place was or where, Sean had already agreed, which made the two a little dull, and the doubts were even more at the peak of the journey after Black Cat returned to the dormitory to rest.

However, no matter how Nick and Adele asked, Sean lowered his head and walked forward silently. Until he reached the door of the dormitory, his hoarse voice came from their ears.

"sorry."

"You didn't do something to be sorry for us, I'm just curious! What's wrong with you?"

Nick dared not disturb the others near the dormitory and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the barren place sounds difficult, why are you in such a hurry to go? Could it be..."

Speaking of this, Adele couldn't help but think of the way she looked when Sean was not so tall a few years ago. She was dirty and dusty, and her clothes seemed to be made of rags. At that time, the children in the monastery were not the pride of heaven. As a candidate for Pastor Yuhara, they were even more obsessed with this mud legs that came out of nowhere - although he, like them, had golden pupils, and were all Somtes...

Sean, who was about to say goodbye to his room, froze his hand, and finally sighed.

"Come in first, talking in the corridor will make others disturb."

When the two of them heard this, they naturally did not hesitate at all. They immediately followed Sean and entered the apprentice room that everyone had in one bedroom and one living room.

The interior decoration is very simple. In addition to the stone seats that everyone has, the entrance living room is filled with scratches and is very eye-catching.

“The 1376th Desert Day…”

The first thing Sean did when he went in was to touch the marks on the wall and muttered to himself.

“It’s about 1377 desert days…”

"I didn't think I could go back to the barren place so soon, but today I can't help hearing this name again, father, mother, and sister! I will pass by soon, you guys wait for me!"

"I will definitely make the mud in the yellow sand pay the price I deserve!"

"must!"

After saying that, Sean took out a sharp grey stone from under the wall and drew a gray scratch on the wall.

After finishing the paddle, Sean turned around and looked at Adele, Nick and the others, and smiled.

"This story is a bit long. Let me tell you slowly. There is still a long time before dawn. I hope you don't doze off."

At this time, Adele and Nick had already been attracted by Sean's actions just now, and they were not sleepy at all. They nodded quickly, just urging him to speak quickly and not waste time.

Sean just smiled. After all the three of them sat down, he looked at the white moonlight that was sprinkling into the hall outside the window and said quietly.

"I was a slave when I was born, the slave of Viscount Tudin Rot. When my father was sixteen years old, he was caught by the sand bandits in the convoy and resold it to the Tudin people and transported it to the barren place, where he was responsible for digging a underground yellow crystal stone that can extract the elements of the earth. It is this stone that makes the surrounding land barren..."

"But later, because the mine that produced yellow crystal soil was dug through some reason the underground lizard man's nest, in order to invite adventurers to encircle and suppress, my father and his group of slaves had been resting for a long time. It was during which time that my sister and I were born, and we were twins..."

"The family of four at that time was not happy, but it was very warm."

"But until a year later, all the underground lizards were wiped out, my father and mother were often away from home, but they locked my sister and I at home before going out."

"In order to prevent the patrol thugs from discovering something strange, our parents also deliberately played a game with us that they couldn't make noise. If we could hold on until the evening, we would get a very delicious piece of food, sometimes it was roasted rat meat, sometimes it was charcoal-grilled bats. Anyway, for the two children who were not dry and shriveled at that time, everything was delicious."

"But if this continues, it will take about one or two years. I found that my father, who was originally burly and powerful, began to lose weight, and my mother also had white hair that was not her age on her head. Finally, we realized that they gave us one of their few foods."

"I also have to participate in mining with heavy physical strength every day. In the long run, I was naturally pale and thin and malnourished. So on our fourth birthday, he was digging a yellow crystal stone embedded in the cave in a newly dug cave. He was pressed down by a huge stone. No one would care about the life or death of a slave. When the mine accident occurred, they only knew to rush out. However, after my mother saw that her father did not come out, she went back to the first group of people who rushed out of the mine, because she knew from other people that the place where the mine accident occurred was the place where my father said he would go a few days ago, and when she went there, she and her father never came out again..."

"Ah..."

Listening to Sean's tragic history, Adele and Nick were a little reluctant, but Sean seemed very happy after saying it, and he could not hear any emotions in his tone. I don't know if it was because of his experience or because he had already cried and wet his pillow countless times in his dream, or he woke up from the dream at midnight. His face now seemed very calm and calm, as if he was not talking about his life story. He only heard him sigh again.

"My father, who worked hard all his life, was just a few nights before the birthday of our brother and sister. I still remember that he told his mother in the bedroom that he planned to go to the newly dug cave of Huangjing Stone tomorrow. Although there was a bit of a risk there, the output was countless times richer than other caves that had been dug countless times. If he had good luck, he could change from the supervisor to a rare item in the mine, such as milk."

"Of course he couldn't bear to drink it. But in a conversation between my sister and I heard that my father and mother had drunk milk. It was very sweet. We didn't know what sweetness means, but we also wanted to drink it. So my father promised that on our birthday, each of us had milk to drink. So we, as young as we were looking forward to the arrival of our birthday every day..."

"In the evening, we didn't wait until our father and mother came back with milk until nightfall, and we didn't wait until their return."

"Fear, fear, panic permeates our young hearts, and finally spent our birthdays silently in panic. Finally, when the next night came to an end, my sister couldn't help crying, and my sister and I were exposed."

"At that time, we were young, we didn't know why our parents couldn't come out again when they entered the mine. We just cried without listening. Seeing more and more people outside the window and the door was smashed louder and louder, I realized that they really couldn't come back... Oh, there were dewdrops on the night in the desert."

The wet feeling passed through his cheeks, and Sean smiled, raised his head and wiped away the tears from his cheeks, thereby covering up his loss of composure.

But at this moment, his room was quiet, with only a slight sob. Sean looked back and looked against the moonlight. He found that both of them had already secretly wiped tears on his back. Nick burst into tears, and his face was distorted due to emotions. He was almost the same as the wrinkles on Goblin's face.

Sean avoided Nick's hands, which were covered in tears or snot, and said helplessly.

"Please, this is only half of it, you guys are... How do you tell me the story?"

"Yes...ah, you... and your sister were found, and then? They were sent out, and then discovered by Mitsuizumi's Knight?"

Nick wiped off the snot and tears from his face, and curiously asked Sean about the next story.

Adele also looked up, she had no expression, but her red eyes still betrayed her emotions, obviously not as quiet as it seemed.

"Next, like our parents, we became slaves."

Sean smiled bitterly and shook his head, his hand couldn't help but touch the wrist of the other hand. Adele, who was proficient in tracking, could vaguely see it. There were arc marks exposed by shackles, which were difficult to detect if you didn't look carefully...

"But luckily, my sister and I did not become mining slaves like our parents, but instead became one of the owners of the Yellow Crystal Mining Cave, the toy of Viscount Rote's four-year-old descendants, with our beautiful appearance."

"We tied the iron chains representing the dogs and sent them to the Viscount's mansion. If it weren't for the Viscount's son Stante crying and shouting that no one would play with him here, the people below happened to find us. Maybe my sister and I have been thrown into the mine and feed the bats and mice inside..."

"After that, four or five years passed in vain. As slaves or servants, we had to accept a lot since childhood. In addition to literacy, we also had to learn etiquette to treat nobles, and there were other things..."

Speaking of this, Sean's expression was a little dim, and his palms were held unconsciously, holding them tightly, but he still couldn't hear the emotional fluctuations.

"At that time, I already knew the truth about my parents' departure. I was very unwilling to be a slave. I didn't want to repeat the fate of my father and mother. Therefore, I wanted to leave and leave this cage."

"A few years ago, because I was young, I had a sister. I couldn't even climb over the walls of the Viscount's castle that was more than ten meters high, and I didn't have the chance to go out, so I could only wait for an opportunity to escape while undertaking training."

"Due to the division of toys, my sister and I live in different places in the castle. She takes care of Viscount's son Stante, while I am responsible for feeding his foal. I have always lived in the stables. The brother and sister only have a few hours of the week to stand together and chat because of the owner."

"So my sister and I made an appointment. When we have certain survival ability, we will wait for an opportunity to leave the castle and go to the boundless wilderness to find the beautiful moon spring in the holy land that our parents often talk about. But when I was ten years old, my sister, who could only nod in the castle, suddenly found me and said there were important things to tell me."

Sean couldn't help but close his eyes. After thousands of days and nights, he could still remember that in the narrow utility room of the castle, his twin sister, who was as old as him, was looking up at him in a earnest posture.

"Brother, don't think about leaving anymore? This morning I heard from Master Stanter that you are looking for death! A few days ago, you actually touched the horse king who had no one dared to mess with in the stable for the sake of the master's gold coins... You are crazy. If it weren't for the blessing of the gods, I might have only seen your body now!"

The girl, who had a little freckle on her face, could not hide her pretty face, held the hem of the maid's skirt and looked anxious.

"No, Lisa! You don't understand. If not, when will I save enough money to leave here? With you, the man will take some risks and it's okay. My father and mother will bless us in heaven!"

The arrogant and familiar boy's voice echoed in Sean's ears, just like yesterday.

"But, I really don't want to lose you! Brother! If...If..."

The girl was already a little helpless and didn't know how to assume it, for fear that her assumption would anger the gods.

"Isn't it good to stay here? I'll find an opportunity to pray to Master Stante, let him transfer you to the study and organize your books. Maybe you can become the butler of the castle..."

She looked at her brother or younger brother with tears in her eyes. The two of them had a fuss over this quarrel more than once, and their status was not confirmed until after their parents died.

"Lisa, you forgot! How did your parents die?"

Hearing his sister's words, the boy was obviously a little furious. He seemed to know his sister on the first day and roared. At this time, if he ignored his identity, he would be like a newborn lion, extremely arrogant.

"But it's not their fault! The mine disaster can only be... it's Ms. Doom saw our family... But life must continue. Brother, if you do this, you will die!"

The girl made an incoherent argument, then prayed, holding the boy's sleeve, as if she wanted to express her whole heart.

But the boy pulled it down and said angrily.

"You forgot our promise, Lisa Rent, if you still remember this last name and recognize my brother, then don't say anything if you beg me to stay. I will go to the stable to feed the horses. If you're done, your little master will give me five whips!"

Spit out from the boy's mouth from an unprecedented indifferent tone. This is a tone he has never had before. It is like the fire in summer and the frost in winter, so it makes people suffer physically and mentally.

"No! Brother!"

The sleeves were pulled open, and Lisa couldn't catch them for a while, and saw that the boy had opened the door of the custard room and headed towards the corridor leading to the stables of the castle. Until the last figure disappeared from the corner, the girl's expression remained motionless, and then gradually faded and disappeared in her memory.

"What did you say?"

Nick's voice in his ear pulled Sean out of his memories in time.

"There was a conflict. She didn't want me to leave the castle. She wanted to live there."

"Ah, this? How could it be? How could your sister suddenly do this!"

"have no idea."

Sean shook his head, his tone calm.

"Then how did you escape?"

"That was when I took advantage of the opportunity of spring hunting and left the team with a fake death, leaving only a few pieces of cloth. Naturally, no one cared about the death of the slave, so I was free again."

Sean smiled.

"Then you are back in the barren place this time and are planning to pick up your sister?"

Nick asked again, and he was already fantasizing about how his brother, who became a priest, returned to his hometown.

But Sean's answer made him confused.

"Yes, I will definitely pick her up and go with my parents."

"this……"

Nick wanted to ask, but Adele had already knocked his head.

"Nick, stop asking, it's getting late, it's time to go back to bed. I'll teach those newcomers' dragon knowledge tomorrow. Think carefully about how you teach!"

"Can……"

Before Nick finished speaking, he was shocked again and then he left the room half-swer.

Sean did not try to keep it, but just closed the door gently and sat in the previous position. The moonlight in the window had shifted, but there was still a layer of white light reflecting on his clothes.

"Lisa..."
