Advent of the Archmage Chapter 52: My brother (medium)
The hotel owner Matt remembers Elite, and is even more impressed with Link. Seeing Elite asking, he shrugged: "Room? No room. Mr. Link has been living in the attic since you left. . "
What? attic!
Eilat jumped fiercely, but he didn't show it. He continued to ask, "How does he live in the attic?"
"No money," Matt said, naturally. "A while ago, he ate coarse bread every day, two a day, one at noon and one at night. He seems to have made some money recently, but it should not be much. .He is in the attic most of the time, if you want to find him, he is upstairs now. "
Hearing this sentence, Elite's heart jumped again. He knew that after Lin gave him 1,300 gold coins, he should have little money left, but he did not expect that he would be embarrassed to this point.
Why didn't he say in Thaksin? In the letter, he either talked about the beautiful scenery of Gwent Forest or asked about magical issues, and said nothing about his dilemma.
Why does he do this? Elite couldn't tell what it was like. He thanked Matt and went up the stairs with the attention of everyone in the hotel lobby.
During this process, he heard the argument in the hall.
"That's the real magician. He came to Link?"
"Is Link really a magician?"
"No, isn't he? He wears such a shabby place and eats and lives in places that are not even as good as me, will he be a magician?"
These sounds justify the words of the boss. Elette's heart is getting more and more unpleasant. He feels that his eyes are a little sour and astringent, which is uncomfortable. It must be that there is too much dust in the hotel and he has lost his eyes.
Go straight up the wooden stairs. After reaching the third floor, at the corner, it is the loft of the hotel.
The light in the attic was dim, and the stairs were covered with dust. The door of the attic room was low and narrow. As Elette stood at the door, she felt the cramped space here.
He stayed in the tall and spacious magic tower for a long time, but when he returned to this ordinary house, it was a bit difficult to adapt.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk", raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, Elite tried to calm his mood and try to calm himself.
"Come in, the door is unlocked." A familiar voice came from the room, and the tone was familiar, still calm and gentle, like a quiet lake under the stars.
Elette pushed in, and then he saw a back bathed in the sun.
Golden sunlight shines through the small window in the attic, and a golden beam of light appears in the dim room, which just shines on the thin body.
This thin master is sitting on a lame chair with a quill in his hand, and is lying on the old, lacquered and mottled table, focusing on what is written, one corner of the table , There are several magic books, a stack of sheepskin scrolls.
Eilat turned to look to the right, and saw a bed on the ground, and a corner of the wall, where there was a large spider web. In the web, the always-expanding spider hung there leisurely, it seemed completely unconcerned about being People bother. In the corner, he also found a large gap. Although the gap was blocked by a rag, but it was not blocked, and a cold wind was still blowing in.
Simple and shabby, like a slum-like accommodation. Elette was a homeless orphan before and experienced such a life, but he did not expect that Link, the son of a nobleman, lived such a life.
Because Elette has experienced it, he feels sympathetic to Link's situation!
Heartache, shame, gratitude, all kinds of emotions surged into Elite's heart, and turned into a heat current and rushed to his eyes, his eyes became red, and tears were about to burst out, Elite immediately raised his head, no Let the tears flow.
When he was 8 years old, he was bullied by several children of the same age on the street. He cried at that time, but he was an orphan, and no one would come out to comfort him. His crying was only endless ridicule and ridicule. Since then, he swears that he will never cry again in this life.
At this time, he couldn't help it.
The other party is the son of a nobleman. He originally had more than 1,300 gold coins. He could be very moisturized in Hegu Town, but in order to collect enough tuition fees for admission to the hospital, how could he be so embarrassed?
Elittle is even more ashamed that the other party never told him that when he was studying magic in the magic tower, Link did not mention a little bit of his own hard life, but also always comforted him and let him concentrate on learning magic. Don't get distracted, and he didn't even realize it.
"Linke?" Elette screamed softly, trying to calm herself.
The thin figure paused, and the quill pen in his hand stopped, then he turned around and looked at him unexpectedly: "Ailette, why are you here?"
He's thinner, a lot thinner than a month ago, his eyes have grown a lot, his eyes are still dull, and his thick, thin linen robe hangs loosely on him.
Eilat's heart was sour, and finally he didn't hold back. His eyes were flushed and tears came out: "Why don't you tell me?!"
Linke was surprised when he looked at Elite. How could this half-elf have so much affection, a big man, how could he cry when he cried?
But he recalls the memories of previous games and finds that the other party seems to have such an emotional character.
In previous games, Elette cried three times, once for a wife killed by a demon, once for a comrade in war, and once to see the countless refugees who fled from the north.
That guy is so emotional.
Thinking for a while, Link also knew why the other party behaved this way, and laughed: "Do n’t you blame me for not telling you this rude condition?"
Isle nodded. He had a good time at the Academy of Magic, and as long as he worked hard, he could earn some gold coins. This month, even if he didn't spend much time writing magic scrolls, he saved 15 gold coins. Those students, some of them diligent, can even earn more than 50 gold coins a month!
As long as Link tells him this, he doesn't have to be so hard.
Linke laughed and shook his head: "My friend, I'm actually doing pretty well. You see, looking out the window, is the beautiful Gwente Forest. Listen carefully, is there no sound, Quiet quiet? Think again, I have no money on my body, and I'm dressed in a shabby dress, no one is thinking about me, and no one is bothering me to study magic and write a dissertation. How rare is this? "
So to speak, Elette seems to be a bit reasonable, but always feels that there is something wrong "may ....."
"No, but you know, my ideal is to pursue magic, and everything else doesn't matter." Link smiled, his smile was very sunny, and dispelled the guilt and haze in Elite's heart. .
Well, when Link said that, Eilat felt a lot better, but everything he saw today was deeply in his heart.
He knows that there is such a person in this world. In order to allow him to learn magic, he does not hesitate to let go of all respect and dignity, but at the same time, he is laughed at by ordinary people and lives a beggar-like life.
In his heart, this man is already his brother, and he can sacrifice everything if needed.
"Are you free now? How about going to the lobby for a drink?" Elette wiped her eyes and cleared her mood.
"Of course no problem, you wait for me to organize the scrolls." Link laughed.
Gather up your things, and the two will be in the lobby.
"Matt, the best dish, the best ale," Elette shouted.
"No problem." Matt narrowed his eyes with a smile.
When the wine comes up, the two will chat as they eat.
Linke and Ellett talk about the progress of some papers, or discuss magic issues. Ellett and Lin introduce what he sees and hears at the Academy of Magic, and occasionally there are some interesting stories circulating in the Academy.
The two talked very speculatively, and before they knew it, a dozen glasses of ale went down, Elite's alcohol was obviously not enough, and he had started talking nonsense. Link's body was quite good, but basically kept awake.
Drunken, Elite's performance was very strange, and she cried and laughed. Link couldn't help crying and called the hotel buddy to move Elite to the hotel room to rest.
"No, no, go. I want to sleep in the attic!" Elite insisted on going to the attic.
Linke had no choice but to follow him. Finally, he added an extra bed in the attic to make Elite fall asleep. As for himself, he was so tossed by Elite and sweated slightly. It's gone.
Going out and greeting the coachman of the Academy of Magic, the other side said that they would have been resting in the town for one night, and set off tomorrow, and Link returned to the attic with confidence.
There are scrolls and magic books sent by Elette in the attic. After a glance, Link is attracted to the magic books. This is an advanced magic book, which is exactly what he desperately needs!
The title of this magic book is "Enhanced Magic", which mainly introduces the magic structure of level 1 magic, and makes a general description of the advanced magical course. Link probably turned it over and found that there is A detailed description of the structure of the rune halo!
"What a great book!" Link got into God at a glance, and then forgot the time.
I do n’t know how long it has been, a voice came from behind me: "What time is it?"
Elette woke up.
Linke woke up and looked at the pocket watch: "It's over seven in the evening."
He felt a little hungry now.
"I'll get some food." Elette was hungry too. He left the attic, and after five or six minutes, brought a large plate of cheese.
The two started to eat, while eating, while Link looked at the magic book, he carefully turned the pages of the book to avoid stains, and Ellett freely read Link's thesis.
When he finishes eating, Link continues to read the magic book, and Ellett's soul has been lost in the dissertation. He murmured in his mouth, "It's so delicate! How is this possible? Well, Can it be deduced like this? "
He is completely fascinated.
