Chapter 62 010: I think you are in trouble

Flea Street, the house of shoemaker Herat.

"Herat, go to Harry's at the end of the street and buy two pieces of meat, and then go to Harry's at the top of the street and buy some onions."

“Don’t forget to buy the turnips.”

In the room, Luo Xi's parents were busy, lighting the fire, buying groceries, and cooking. They were so busy that they were dizzy, but their faces were filled with unfading smiles.

Luo Xi felt that there was no need to make such a big fuss, and suggested eating on the street more than once, but in the end all he got was: "What do you know, you little kid?"

In fact, Luo Xi is not young anymore. He is 17 this year and will soon be 18. According to the etiquette of this world where people become adults at the age of 14, he is already a real adult.

However, it seems that in the eyes of parents, no matter how old a child is, he or she will always be a child, and this seems to be the case no matter which position they are in.

So be it, as long as they are happy.

So Luo Xi did not stop him, but went to tease his younger brother Al.

I haven't seen this little guy for three years. He has grown a lot and is at least twenty pounds now. He is sure to be a handsome guy when he grows up. I remember that when I left three years ago, he was as thin as a kitten.

The only thing that hadn't changed was his polio. His limbs were still very uncoordinated, and it took him a lot of effort just to stand, as he was swaying and looked like he might fall down at any moment.

Luo Xi saw waves of regret and self-blame.

If he had not been so playful at the beginning, if he had not left his younger brother alone at home, if he could have come back earlier... Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

In the human world of this era, polio is basically a terminal illness. Conditions like Al's will basically accompany him for life. And in this era of the survival of the fittest and backward productivity, what kind of future will a person with polio have? Thinking of this, Luo Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

But Luo Xi was also lucky. The goddess of fate always favored him, allowing him to identify the physique of a wizard, have the opportunity to learn magic, and have the opportunity to make up for the mistake that should have made him regret for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Al tightly, as if he was afraid that he would slip away from his hands accidentally.

Soon, dinner was ready.

Beef stewed with potatoes is the main dish, and the side dishes are carrots, boiled apples, honey, etc., and even cheese and soft white bread. For a civilian home in the downtown area, such a table of food is definitely a delicious meal that can only be eaten a few times a year.

However, what Luo Xi saw was that the food inside was all his favorite, and he was immersed in the love that his parents had slowly developed.

"Just help yourself to what you want to eat. There's no need to be too particular at a shoemaker's house." Hunter warmly invited Joey to sit down.

Although it is unclear why Luo Xi has an old man with such a big age gap as a friend, but since they came together, he cannot be unkind in being considerate and polite.

I have no idea what this kid has been doing outside for the past three years, and I feel like I’m getting more and more confused.

Joey smiled and said, "I'm not a noble person either."

Fortunately, the 'friends' he made seemed pretty good and not difficult to get along with.

Hunter nodded: "That's good."

After a pause, he turned to Sally, who was serving beef to Luo Xi. He tapped the bowl with a spoon, and then said with the dignity of the head of the family, "Sally, stop for a moment."

Sally turned around and glared at him: "What?"

Hunter said, "I have something to ask Luo Xi."

Sally said dissatisfiedly: "Can't you ask later? It's time to eat now."

Hunter raised his brows: "Of course it's important."

Sally shook her head: "Nothing is more important than filling your stomach."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Luo Xi quickly put down the tableware and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm not hungry yet, so I'd better listen to what Hunter has to say first."

Sally glared at Hunter fiercely, and finally put down the spoon.

Hunter looked at Luo Xi with confusion for a while, then asked, "Luo Xi, where have you been for the past three years? Where are you? What are you doing? How come there is no news for three years?"

Now Sally no longer cared about Hunter's attitude before. She looked at Luo Xi and said worriedly: "Luo Xi, you should answer your father's question."

Rosie was silent for a moment.

The test at the Earl's Manor three years ago was conducted in secret. It was announced to the public that scholars from the royal capital were recruiting students. After the test, the apprentices who failed the assessment were arranged to undergo Oblivion. Luo Xi was told to keep it secret, so his parents did not know that he was going to the wizarding world.

The Earl is probably the only one in the entire North Wind City who knows everything.

This is also the tradition of wizards, to only have contact with the nobles of the ruling class, and always maintain a sense of mystery towards the ordinary human class below.

According to the rules set by the Tower, before becoming a wizard, Luo Xi could not reveal the fact that he was in the wizarding world to his parents, who were just ordinary humans. However, the enforcement of this rule was not that strong, and violating it would not bring him any unbearable punishment.

So after thinking about it, Luo Xi decided to tell everything. After all, he could truly feel his parents' anxiety and worry, and he would not do without an explanation.

"Well, it's like this." After considering his words, Luo Xi began to explain: "In the past three years, I have..."

"Da da da."

"Is this the place?"

"Yes, the people who live here are the shoemaker Hunter and his family."

However, at this moment, there were sounds of hurried footsteps and conversation outside the door, followed by a violent slam of the door.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“Bang, bang, bang!”

"Open the door!"

"The shoemaker inside, and your child, open the door immediately!"

Mr. and Mrs. Hunter in the room were stunned. They looked at each other and saw doubt and confusion in each other's eyes. They were honest people who never caused trouble. The child in their family was only 6 years old and never went out to play due to poor health. He would not cause trouble for any child.

“Here it comes!”

Hunter quickly agreed and went to open the door.

However, at this moment, Luo Xi reached out to stop him: "I'll go."

Hunter subconsciously wanted to say, "What do you, a kid, know?", but he couldn't push Luo Xi away no matter what. He didn't know when the child had become so strong, and the words that were on his lips never came out.

Meanwhile, Luo Xi had walked out and quickly opened the door.

I don't know when a group of soldiers came to the door. They were wearing leather armor with uniform studs and had cross swords on their waists.

There was a row of carriages parked on the street outside. Next to the carriages was a stretcher with a man lying on it. It was the soldier who was kicked away by Luo Xi before.

“It’s open!”

"Sir, it's this boy! He's the one who injured Jason."

Seeing Luo Xi opening the door, a soldier immediately jumped out to identify him. It was the other soldier who was standing at the door before.

"Are you sure it's him?"

"I swear on my father's medal!"

A middle-aged man wearing silver armor and a grid mask, who was probably the leader, confirmed with the soldiers and then walked towards Luo Xi.

When he got closer, the man glanced at the stretcher, then turned around and asked, "Did you do this, kid?"

Luo Xi said truthfully: "Yes."

The man looked at Luo Xi in surprise. He was a little surprised by the boy's calmness.

But it was only a slight surprise.

He nodded and said straight to the point: "I think you're in trouble."
