Chapter 101 100. The Sorrow of Martin
“Not everyone has the courage to face the legend.”
The arrival of Mr. Fast made Annan feel at ease.
In Annan's life, Fast played the role of friend and elder. But unlike Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin, who need protection as they grow up. To this day, Annan still needs Mr. Fast's strength.
Furthermore, the arrival of Fast has raised the upper limit of the strength of the "unnamed organization" - if the hidden strength is not counted.
"Are these people outside the trouble you are talking about?" Fast looked at the crowd outside the manor. "Still the epic mage?"
"Actually, they are neither."
"What is that?"
"I am not the King in the North."
……
In the study, Annan spent more than ten minutes explaining the ins and outs and the current situation.
"That sounds really weird..." Fast unbuttoned another button because of the sweltering heat, and his fluffy chest hair stuck out like seaweed. "Who would deliberately try to deal with the Reeves family?"
“Bad guy.”
There is no doubt about that.
The Reeves family leads an idyllic pastoral life in Osulonde. If it were not for the population decline, the only male would not leave the territory to seek the city lord and fall into a huge web of conspiracy.
Annan began to miss the peaceful Pinglin Town.
"What should I do if you come to the tavern?"
"I promoted Evelin to be the acting manager."
"Where is Wood?"
"Martin does whatever work he does."
"Does he still crave human blood now?"
"Successfully quit."
Fast told an interesting story: "I took Wood to find a man who fell into a manure pit. The guy let it suck blood, and it vomited for a day, and then retched when it heard human blood. Now it doesn't find animal blood unpleasant to drink, but Mr. Victor occasionally asks for some 'vampire blood' and gives Wood alien blood to improve his food. "
Listen to Fast and show him around the manor.
"Your guards are a little strange." Fast stared at Della's disappearing back, "I have seen elves, they are not always like this..."
"I have only seen two elves, and they are both like this."
Even compared to Irilanze, Della is much more normal.
"Probably because you are a warlock." Fast was noncommittal and came to the window, "You have been enduring the slander from those outside... No, tell the truth?"
Crowd There are not only humans inside, but also a handful of dark green short outlines at the edge - they come from the goblin workshop.
These dark green guys carried wooden signs and gathered together to scream sharply.
They were resentful that the King of the North had taken away the spinning wheel business they relied on for a living, so they also became a member of the protest.
"Augusta Olmedo's tricks. Olmedo said not to worry about them."
Annan was also suspicious. As Olmedo said, this kind of crude protest was not like the arrangement of the wise old man.
"Do you want to get rid of them?" Fast asked.
“But they are outside the manor, and we have no reason to drive them away.”
"I don't know what you are talking about." Fast spread his hands, "They are standing outside, and I am standing outside."
Faster, who volunteered, sneaked out from behind the manor.
Annan and Michael ran to the study on the second floor and watched from a suitable viewing position as Fast blended into the protesting crowd. Then, without knowing what he did, the protesting crowd suddenly broke into chaos and the crowd fled in all directions.
The hustle and bustle that had plagued the manor all morning dissipated.
When Fast came back, Annan gave him a thumbs up: "Reliable Mr. Fast."
"It's not over yet, boy." Fast rolled up his sleeves, and his helplessness and calmness made Annan return to the tavern in Pinglin Town. "We will bring Martin back next."
...
The arrogant Martin appeared on the terrace, looking down at the two people standing below. "Fast? Annan? I don't know these two people!"
Augusta Olmedo did not hurt Martin.
There is only Martin alone in this Olmedo Industrial Manor, and a group of servants who take care of daily life.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Mr. Fast frowned, “Get off here!”
“I want to take a breath!”
Echoing The cry silenced Annan. Did he neglect to take care of Martin's psychology, causing him to feel disparate and resent his fate? Just ask yourself, if Martin became a warlock and he was just an ordinary person, he would indeed be lonely and uncomfortable.
Annan thought Martin didn't care about this...
Just when Annan fell into self-blame, Fast took a deep breath:
"Martin, Aunt Susan called you home for dinner!"
"I'm coming!"
As if breaking free from a control spell, Martin jumped from the balcony in response, smashed into the bushes below, and flew forward covered in grass leaves, leaving Annan no place to vent his brewing emotions.
Maybe Martin really doesn't care.
In the distant butler's silence, Annan and Fast successfully brought Martin back to the manor.
Stepping into the living room, Annan solemnly told Martin: "Augusta is using you."
"Who is Augusta?"
"...That's it. The old man who took you away." Annan suddenly felt sad for Augusta Olmedo. How would he feel when he found out that the guy he had been looking after for two days had no idea who he was?
“I’m not afraid.”
It's just that Martin has his own unique perspective. He pointed to his head and said: "As long as I am useless, I will not be used by others."
Fast drove Martin away with apple pie in the restaurant. He looked at Annan: "Many big shots need a fake weakness to hide their real weakness. In this way, when he is attacked, he will only lose the fake weakness."
"Annan, you need a fake weakness..."
"Martin?" Annan realized who Fast was talking about.
Mr. Fast looked at him and said nothing.
"This is not good. Martin is my family." Annan refused this approach and added, "Although he is not very smart."
"Then you are willing to see you being attacked, your friend Will you and your family be implicated, or will you let Martin bear the pain for you?"
"I don't want to see it."
"If you feel guilty, just make up for it in other ways." Ste said.
Annan thought thoughtfully: "For example, let Martin really become your apprentice?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Fast's reaction was unexpectedly fierce: "I would rather fight a giant dragon and be melted by the hot dragon's breath than teach that idiot combat skills!"
Click——
Martin walked out of the restaurant holding an apple pie.
“What are you talking about?”
"Mr. Fast said he would rather die than teach a man combat skills."
"That man must be terrible."
Martin said vaguely, holding an apple pie and returning Go upstairs.
Watching Martin’s back disappear, Annan changed the subject and talked about the current predicament:
“I don’t know who the enemy is. Augusta Olmedo is very suspicious. , but he has a good son..."
"I don't know either. But based on my experience..."
Fast knocked on the armrest and said:
"The less they want you to do something, just do it. ”
