Three days later on a rainy night.

Every criminal is more eager for a heavy rain than others, because the rain will wash away the marks of sin.

pound!

Accompanied by the deafening sound, a silver thunder broke open the night, igniting the momentary extreme day, reflecting the outline of the fortress on the ground of the large prison on the sea. The sculpture of the Gunord hero with a spear guards the walls, guarding this huge fortress like an unbreakable beast.

To enter the prison, you must pass through these castles built on the ground with rugged black rocks, and you can only dive into the depths of the ground through a lift.

"Sir, it seems that it's going to rain. I'll spend the night here and not go back. Stay here and play with dice. The only thing I can win in this castle is you."

In the rest of the castle, a prison guard in leather armor said depressedly. What he didn't know was that the reason why he could beat his commander was because Motley saw his old mother, who was far north of the kingdom, was sick and deliberately lost to him. In other words, he could not defeat anyone in the castle with gambling.

"Next time, kid."

Motley took off his heavy iron armor and took off his helmet. His short hair, which was as hard as a thorn, was full of courage and his strong eyebrows and eyes. The thick and hard stubble that he had no time to shave had a unique charm of mature men. His tall body as strong as a leopard, was more than enough as the commander of this group of prisoners.

Motley put on a simple casual outfit and put a silver ring with two lines of names on his left ring finger.

"Today is a very important day, I have to go home for dinner."

"It's boring."

"Haha, sorry, if you don't leave, the rain will be heavy. If that happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to get home tonight. Next time, I will definitely do it next time."

Amidst laughter, Motley left the castle and rode a fast horse toward Flange.

...

...

The Flange City, which surrounds the Flange College General College, can also be said to be the college city. In addition to the shop area, there are also residential areas.

It is famous for its academy city, but it is actually a method of Sennheiser. Emperor Nord was concerned about his power and did not reward any fiefdoms, because Sennheiser was the only legendary magician in the Kingdom of Nord who was unwilling to be loyal to the palace. Instead, he tinkered with a private magic academy that inherited from his father's generation, which made Emperor Nord think more.

This so-called academy city is considered Sennheiser's territory in disguise. On this island of Fland, Sennheiser's words are much more useful than the emperor. Although there are no rumors, they have the intention to become independent.

In a duplex two-story villa in the residential area of ​​Flan City, a beautiful brown-haired woman in her thirties was spooning the delicious bone soup in the pot into a container. Her face was still beautiful, but she could not resist the erosion of time and left subtle folds at the corners of her eyes.

"Will Dad come back today?"

A cute boy, aged 15 or 6, sat on a stool, swaying his legs, and asked in a slight voice.

"Isn't it good to have a mother accompany you? Your father is carrying out important tasks and protecting the world."

The woman said with a smile, looking at her hands, looking at the silver ring with two lines of names at that moment, with a little bit of force in her stiff face.

"I am protecting the world again. I always say this. I am so annoying to guard the world. I am obviously on Flan Island and haven't been back for almost a year. I don't want him to protect the world."

The boy pouted and stirred the meat pieces on the plate vigorously with a knife and fork.

Bang……

The woman took a clean spoon and knocked the boy's head, pretending to be angry, scolding: "What do children know, eat honestly."

"Oh... I got it."

The boy said weakly.

"Take all the money and jewelry!"

With the arrival of a rough voice, a tall and burly body pushed the door open.

But when the mother and son heard the sound, they were very happy and rushed towards the source of the sound.

"Why don't even lock the door? Although the security in Flan City is indeed good, you must be careful of the damage... Dear, my clothes are wet in the rain..."

Before Motley could finish his words, the woman blocked his mouth with her warm lips and kissed him fiercely. Motley only felt the delicate hands holding his shoulders, and he grabbed them extremely hard, and even felt a little pain. He couldn't help but feel bitterness in his heart, and guilt and self-blame surged into his heart like a tide of guilt.

After a while.

The two finally stopped.

"The child is still next to him..."

Motley said softly.

"Didn't I... haven't seen you for a long time?"

The woman looked at the boy with a gaze and didn't know what to do. Although she was already a mother, her cheeks were still blushing like a girl, and she said shyly as if she was as thin as a mosquito and flies.

The boy just scratched the back of his head with a question mark on his face, not knowing what his parents were doing.

"You seem to have grown a little taller, well...stubble attack!"

Motley picked up the boy unexpectedly and rubbed his rough beard against the boy's face.

"Ahhhh... It's so itchy, let me down!"

The boy tried his best to avoid it, but he was lifted in the air without any force.

"Stop bullying the child, change the clothes and sit down and eat. I just happened to have a soup."

When the woman saw this stupid father and son, she could only smile helplessly.

Ten minutes later, Motley sat upright at the table with the boy, while the woman was preparing her last dish.

The fire in the fireplace was gentle and the food on the table was steaming. Even if the room was not very luxurious and far worse than the noble room, it was enough for Motley at this moment, and it was the best.

The boy swallowed his saliva and wanted to grab the chicken legs on the plate with his hands, but Motley patted him.

"Mom is still cooking, so you eat it directly. What does it look like? Wait for Mom to come and eat it together."

"But...but I'm hungry."

"As a man, you can't be so pretentious. Look at your arms so thin. When I was as big as you, I had beaten the gangsters in the royal capital to the ground for their teeth."

Motley was cheering and bragging.

"If your child is hungry, let him eat it. He will not be like you in the future. Of course, it is good to be a magician. At least he has to be a bachelor's degree. Unlike you, you are in prison every day and you can't see people a few times a year."

The woman said.

Motley lowered his head, as if he was in his throat.

The woman's hand holding the spoon was trembling slightly, and the bitter water in her belly could not help but pour out, and it could even be said to be... angry.

Just when a woman wants to talk to Motley.

A scream broke the silence.

"Help! Help!"

A woman's call for help came from the street outside.

"I'll be back soon."

After Motley said this, he rushed out of the house.

"etc……"

Before the woman could finish her voice, Motley disappeared, and an infinite loneliness appeared in her eyes.

In the dark streets covered by the storm, heavy rain whistled over the trees with strong winds, and waves of wailing from leaves came.

"Are you injured? Madam?"

Motley found a woman in the middle of the street with long green hair and beautiful face as delicate as an elf.

"A robber robbed my parcel...my legs, my legs were injured, can I take me to the doctor?"

The beautiful woman in the rain said pitifully, and a terrible wound with a wide and thin thumb was cut from her fair and delicate calves, and blood kept spilling out.

"You are...you are Mariana Alfred?"

Motley was shocked. The newspapers in the past few days were full of news about this female student, and it was difficult not to know her.

"You recognize me? That's great."

Mariana said with relief, showing a saved expression.

"It's so heavy rain... I'm not very familiar with Flan City, and I can't find a doctor. Anyway, it's so close to the college. I'll send you to the college. It's not a fatal injury. The healing magicians there can cure it."

"That's really...thank you so much."

...

...

It took nearly two hours before Motley returned from the academy. He felt a little confused. This incident seemed a bit too strange. He always felt something was wrong, especially Mariana's strange expression on the way, which made people feel a little furious.

Forget it, what if he cares about him, anyway, the one at home must have taught him a good lesson.

Motley returned home and pushed open the door to the restaurant on the second floor.

But I discovered... an extremely strange scene.

The room was still the same scenery, with a gentle fire burning in the fireplace and a hearty food on the table. The only difference is.

There was no wife and children in the room. Instead, behind the table, a man two meters tall, armed with armor all over his body, stood there crookedly like a lame man.

pound!

A thunder fell from above the sky, and the already torrential rain became even more fierce. The violent wind blew open the window, and violent raindrops rushed in. The leaves blown by the wind swept across the room like locusts, and the light suddenly became darker.
