Chapter 60 008: Where is my home?
The barbecue and drinks lasted until late, and Luo Xi continued his journey early the next morning. This time, he had a companion by his side, who was old man Joey who had a hangover with him yesterday.
Joey was going to the southern Kingdom of Orma and happened to pass by Luo Xi's hometown, so Luo Xi invited him to travel with him.
Although they were strangers, Luo Xi felt that he could get along well with him. It was better to have someone to talk to on the road than to travel alone. He could also ask him some magic knowledge along the way.
Luo Xi didn't know what Joey's specific strength was, but he judged that the other party's strength should not be low. This was because he had accumulated a wealth of knowledge in magic, and seemed to know everything about elements, alchemy, and potions.
And the level of understanding is very deep. Many things were not even mentioned by the tutor in the castle, or were only explained at a very superficial level.
Although it was just a casual chat, Luo Xi also felt that he benefited a lot.
Two days later, in the northern part of the Kingdom of Rudin, Beifeng City.
North Wind City is a medium-sized city in the north of the Kingdom of Rudin. It is located at the foot of the Kachira Mountains and sits on the North Wind Corridor. It is an important gateway for the kingdom to the north.
“We’re finally here!”
Standing on the familiar streets of Beifeng City, Luo Xi felt happy unconsciously.
The scenes from the past naturally emerged in his mind, like slides, including his father carrying him to a rich family to repair shoes, his mother scolding and worrying him because he fell into the ditch beside him due to playfulness. Luo Xi's time travel was not a simple soul replacement, but more like a fusion of two souls. Although the soul of the earth was the dominant one in the new soul, these past memories still had a profound impact on him.
He is Luo Xi, a nine-to-five office worker on Earth, and also Luo Xi, the son of a shoemaker in the Kingdom of Rodin.
Sometimes Luo Xi even thought that maybe there had never been any time travel, it was just that he suddenly remembered his memories of his previous life when he woke up.
"It feels good to be home, doesn't it?" Joey asked.
Luo Xi nodded: "Gladly."
Joey smiled and said, "This is what it feels like to go home. When I first returned to my hometown after a long journey, I was just as excited as you. Unfortunately, that was many years ago. The time of mortals is too short."
At this point, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be expressing his feelings at the wrong time, and quickly apologized: "Oh, ha, sorry, I'm old, and I talk too much."
Luo Xi was silent for a moment. In fact, what old man Joey said touched on a very serious topic.
"Let's go meet your family soon."
Walking through the busy market street and taking a picture of the wooden sign hanging in front of the fruit stall, Luo Xi walked all the way to a magnificent house in the upper city.
The person who used to live here was an old nobleman who lived alone. He was also a court knight of the royal palace. The title of Black Mountain Knight was very famous in the Kingdom of Rudin. Later, for unknown reasons, he left the palace and came to North Wind City to retire.
Earl Brock, the lord of North Wind City, tried to recruit him several times, but the old man declined each time. However, the earl still covered all his daily expenses.
After the old man passed away, the house fell into the hands of the earl. After Rossi was diagnosed with the physique of a wizard, Earl Brock gave the house to Rossi's family. Otherwise, with their family's status, they would never be able to get their hands on such a luxurious house even in several lifetimes.
Luo Xi's father was a shoemaker and his mother did some tailoring work for others. In the class division of Beifeng City, they were only slightly better off than the bottom.
Standing in front of the big house, Luo Xi took a good look at this house where he had never lived before. There were two more guards in front of the gate. Through the gate, he could vaguely see the busy servants inside. The ground was clean and tidy, and the floors were bright and beautiful, which looked very impressive.
"It seems that the Earl has taken good care of his family."
Luo Xi nodded silently in his heart, keeping these considerations in mind. Although he knew that the other party was just trying to please him, such interpersonal communication was based on deeds rather than intentions, right? Then, he walked forward.
The two guards were wearing metal armor with silver hollow patterns and had cross swords on their waists. Let’s not talk about their fighting capabilities for now, but their appearance was indeed very imposing.
Seeing Luo Xi and the other man coming, the two guards immediately held down the hilts of their swords and shouted at Luo Xi with great momentum: "Stop, stranger, this is Master Fred's house. If you don't want to be beheaded, tell us your intentions immediately."
Luo Xi was stunned. The soldier did not call out his father or mother's name, but a strange name he had never heard of before.
Fred? Who is this? He asked, "Fred? Isn't it the Herat family who lives here?"
The two soldiers looked at each other and both sneered.
One of the soldiers sneered and said, "Are you talking about that lying shoemaker? He wants to seize the nobles' property by cheating and lying. What a ridiculous fellow! If it weren't for the Earl's mercy, his whole family would have been hanged on the city wall."
Luo Xi's face darkened and he was filled with anger.
He subconsciously took a step forward and all the magic power in his body surged up.
However, at this moment, a hand pressed on his shoulder. Luo Xi turned around and saw Joey shaking his head at him.
Roshi calmed down.
I still don't know what's going on. Why were my family kicked out? Why were they branded as liars? How are they doing now? There are too many doubts. I should find my family first and find out the situation.
Considering this, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is their family now?"
The soldier raised his chin and laughed nonchalantly, "Where else can it be? Of course you should go back to where you came from. A lowly shoemaker wants to live in the upper city. What a ridiculous guy with such wishful thinking. Hahahaha."
Luo Xi silently memorized the soldier's appearance, then turned around and walked back.
He was not going to cause trouble for the soldier for the time being, but the soldier came forward eager to die.
Seeing Luo Xi turned around and left without saying a word, he immediately drew out his cross sword and said arrogantly: "Hey, kid, you haven't made your identity clear yet, do you think I'll allow you to leave?"
Luo Xi tilted his head to glance at him, then turned around and kicked him.
This soldier was obviously just a show-off who had not undergone rigorous training. He didn't even have time to react before Luo Xi kicked him in the stomach.
The power of the knight was so terrifying that this kick sent the soldier, who weighed only a few dozen pounds, flying one or two meters high, and then he fell heavily to the ground with a thud.
Luo Xi didn't even linger for a moment and turned and left.
The soldier's companions were stunned, but they didn't have the courage to draw their swords to stop Luo Xi. They just watched him leave with trembling legs.
It was not until Luo Xi walked away that he dared to go up and check on his companions.
At this moment, the soldier who was kicked away by Luo Xi had already climbed up from the ground, but he could not stand up at all. He could only kneel on the ground, holding his stomach with his hands and retching continuously.
The arrogance on his face disappeared completely, and his whole face was distorted almost to the point of being deformed. Apart from pain, there was only fear on his face.
"Uh-ah. Sir! "
"Go quickly. Go find him. Go find the Viscount."
"Looking for the Viscount!"
