When Merlin heard this familiar voice, a lot of memories suddenly flooded into his head, but he was only in a trance for a moment and adjusted his mood in an instant.
The dusty door curtain in the back kitchen was lifted, and then a woman with smooth blonde hair and a mature charm slowly walked out.
Her soft golden hair fell gently to her waist, her eyes were so soft and beautiful, as if there were ripples in them, and her skin was as white as the most exquisite porcelain, revealing a kind of sacred and inviolable nobility.
Her dress taste perfectly shows off her beautiful figure. The well-cut long skirt is embroidered with exquisite patterns, which not only retains the feminine beauty, but also reveals a sense of authority.
She often wears a pearl necklace around her neck, which is simple yet elegant and complements her temperament.
She was holding a cleaning broom in her hand, and her whole body exuded the image of a good wife and mother.
The woman's eyes widened immediately when she saw Merlin, then she quickly put down the broom in her hand, trotted over with her skirt lifted, and hugged Merlin directly.
"Merlin, my son, I miss you so much."
"Mom, there are people here." Merlin struggled a little, but found that his mother was so strong that he couldn't push her away with his frail body.
Roman Connor, this beautiful lady is Merlin's mother. Merlin's smooth golden hair is inherited from his mother.
"Oh? My son is here? Come on, let me see what my son looks like. Is he as handsome as me?"
A rough male voice sounded from the kitchen. Merlin poked his head out of his mother's arms and saw a handsome man walking out of the kitchen.
Silver hair and deep blue eyes are the symbols of the Leo family. Merlin inherited his mother's golden hair, but those sapphire-like eyes came from the bloodline of the Leo family.
The silver hair and sapphire pupils that are the symbols of the Leo family are unique in the entire Aize continent. The middle-aged man in front of him has the same handsome appearance as Merlin, but with the mature charm brought by the baptism of time. He exudes a calmness and wisdom that comes from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.
His face is strong and has clear lines, as if it were a work of art carved out over the years.
The man in front of him was Leo Pate, Merlin's biological father.
Merlin found that he did not feel any emotions of loss or sadness from his parents, only joy at seeing him.
"Father, Mother, I read the letter you sent me. I never expected that our family would encounter such a big change."
After Merlin finished speaking, Kanna sighed and slowly let go of Merlin. She put her hands on her hips and pointed at her husband and said, "Yes, you know the specific reasons. Now the Leo family is only in name. The family's territory and castle have been sold. Basically, everything that can be sold in the family has been sold."
"I'm sorry, son. It's your father who is useless. We still owe a foreign debt of 500,000 gold coins. Of course, you don't have to worry too much. Your father still has some friends. It should not be a problem for him to support you to study at the Arcane Academy. It's just that you can't live in the high-end dormitory like before, and you have to cut back on food, clothing, housing and transportation." Leo Pate said guiltily.
Merlin shook his head. "None of this matters. As for the tuition at the Arcane Academy, as long as you can get an excellent student rating in the final exam, you can get a scholarship from the school. This money is enough to cover the tuition."
"As for the accommodation issue, you don't have to worry. I have wanted to move out of the premium dormitory for a long time. The conveniences provided by the premium dormitory are dispensable to me. Moreover, it costs 500 gold coins per semester. The cost-effectiveness is really too low."
"Son, you have really grown up and become much more sensible. Your father is very pleased! Woo woo woo!" Leo Pate put one hand on Merlin's shoulder and wiped his tears with the other hand.
"Don't worry about my affairs at the Arcane Academy. I can take care of myself. I think the first thing we should consider now is the debt of 500,000 gold coins."
After Merlin finished speaking, Pate immediately perked up. "Son, don't worry about the debt of 500,000 gold coins. See this tavern? I plan to decorate and plan this place well, then settle down here and open a tavern to make money. I can pay back the money slowly."
Merlin was stunned when he heard his father's words. Looking at the dilapidated tavern in front of him, it didn't look like it could make 500,000 gold coins.
"Father, I remember that you are a powerful magic swordsman, and mother, you are also a high-level magician. Why don't you go hunt some monsters and earn gold coins from them?" Merlin asked his parents.
Pete and Kanna were a little surprised to hear Merlin say this, but Pete still explained patiently.
"Son, although your mother and I are both at the fifth level, how much do you think you can earn by hunting a fifth-level monster?"
"The materials and meat of a fifth-tier monster are worth at most a few thousand gold coins. Some of the rarest ones might be sold for eight or nine thousand or even tens of thousands, but have you ever calculated the price you have to pay?"
Merlin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the fifth-level monsters corresponding to high-level magicians were so worthless. In the novels he read on Blue Star, the materials of those monsters were ridiculously expensive. Even the lowest-level monsters were not affordable for ordinary people. He didn't expect that in the continent of Aize, a fifth-level monster was worth only a few thousand gold coins, which was only a few hundred thousand RMB.
"Warcraft is much stronger than us humans. Even if we are hunting down the weakest fifth-level beast, we must be fully prepared. We must investigate the location of the beast and whether there are other beasts around. Are they alone or in groups?"
"For a fifth-level monster, if there is no sixth-level magician involved, two fifth-level magicians of the same level are required. In addition, there must be mercenary followers to protect the magician, magic props before the battle, potions to prepare after the injury, etc. Generally, only mercenary groups or hunting groups will choose to hunt monsters to make money, otherwise hunting monsters will be very dangerous."
Pate continued, "Even weaker monsters are not easy to hunt. Once the monster escapes, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Monsters are intelligent. Once they realize something is wrong and their lives are in danger, they will run away. It is very difficult to hunt monsters."
Kanna nodded. "If we want to make money by hunting monsters, your father and I will have to choose to join a mercenary group or a hunting group, and divide the money according to the amount of effort. If we get hurt, the money we earn may not be enough to compensate for the losses."
