Arcane Linguist

Chapter 350 The rich and noble do not return to the hometown

"~~~......"

As ripples appeared like water waves, the scene in front of Roland kept distorting and changing, like a video rewinding.

Time went back, and a scene of Atali getting up suddenly appeared in front of her.

This is what happened this morning.

The graceful figure of the female knight is bathed in a white light that is like holy light, soaring in the clouds and mist, making it difficult to see clearly. Moreover, everything in the picture moves in reverse, continuing to maintain the scene of going back in time, moving the nodes of time forward. Move forward.

The surrounding light dimmed, and it was back to last night.

Then, there is the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday.

Time continues to go backwards, faster and faster, and the scenes are dazzling.

Roland saw the happy time he and Atali had here, saw the servants coming in to clean up the mess, saw the alternation of day and night, and the rotation of light and darkness.

Combining the information in hand, I gradually figured out the basic rules and correct usage of this spell.

It takes the time node where it is as the origin and flows forward in one direction.

As the name suggests, it's called retrovision, not prediction of the future.

Depending on the level of mastery, this kind of retrospective vision can be traced back to a few days ago, a few months ago, a few years ago, or even decades, thousands, or even thousands of years ago.

But generally speaking, the longer the time node is, the more blurry it is, and the accuracy is difficult to control.

Everything he sees is recorded by Mana, which is essentially a method of sensing between gods and humans that relies on resonance.

This is in line with the current development route, which is mainly based on perceptual attributes.

According to the arcane school, mana is the mysterious spirituality that pervades the sky, earth, water, soil, trees, stones, and even all materials. It is regarded as the basic element of magic and the composition of the soul. ingredients.

Mana can resonate with the spirit and has a function similar to tape recording.

Ordinary people, or even extraordinary magical beings, do not have the ability to read records from it, but some high-level mages have figured out how to use spells to extract and complete these signals, thereby creating imaging methods.

The essence of these scenes is also a resonance of spiritual power, which will be disturbed by the passage of time or changes in spiritual ideas.

It was for these reasons that the images he saw covering his body, like the smoke of holy light, and the images that gradually became dilapidated and old as time went by.

In general, this is a profound spell that tests the user's skills. The standard model provided by the magic network can be used as long as it is used. The specific effect it can achieve depends on yourself.

At this moment, the scene in front of him continued to flash, flashing back to the scene a few months ago when he had just returned here with Atali.

Roland suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart and stopped "rewinding".

A scene like a black and white mime appeared before his eyes.

Under the moonlight, Atali sat quietly by the bed, reading a letter with sadness on her face.

It was a letter home from her father.

Atali's father, a down-and-out lord from his hometown town, inquires about his daughter.

He only knew that his daughter went to the Mage Legion, was highly valued, and was now promoted to the middle level, but he did not know the specific position and work she did.

This family letter contains the old father's sincere teachings, as well as the usual urges to get married and the philistines asking for money.

But that was obviously not what Atali was worried about.

Roland adjusted his angle and saw clearly that the letter mentioned that his hometown was hit by a beast disaster last year, and the farmers had no harvest. Even his Lord's harvest was greatly affected.

In addition, his brother injured his muscles and bones while fighting monsters and needed precious materials for treatment.

Roland was surprised.

No one mentioned this to him.

However, he soon understood that if a beast disaster occurs in his hometown, it may not spread to the town.

The life of ordinary people is more difficult, and no matter how difficult it is for ordinary people, it will not affect the rich and powerful.

Now that I am in the limelight, local officials and forces at all levels will give priority to ensuring the living conditions and safety of life and property of my predecessor's family, and there will be no shortage of all kinds of care within their capabilities.

This kind of "little thing" is really not worth mentioning.

As for Atali's difficulty, it was due to pure pride, and she didn't want to mention it.

As a personal guard for an alternate committee member, her salary and various benefits were quite good. She could solve things by herself without complaining to herself.

"Atali's brother...how do I remember that he seems to have become the sheriff of my hometown?"

Roland didn't pay much attention to these things and began to think about it.

There are also monsters in Atrein. There are often militia organizations between towns and villages to prevent bandits and refugees, adventurers from all walks of life, and monsters.

If Atali hadn't been attracted by him and found a way to get her around, there was a high probability that she would have returned home after completing her studies, joined the security force, or married a minor noble from a nearby town.

Because their family was originally a family of a declining aristocrat, and as the saying goes, they are poor in culture and rich in martial arts. Only by joining the security force can they maintain their martial arts inheritance. Only by marrying into a family of the same rank as a declining aristocrat can their descendants maintain their class and not fall down.

When he thought of this, Roland suddenly felt that his eyes were dry and itchy, and then quickly became sore.

"The limit of the spell is coming soon. When using this spell, the magic power will saturate the pupils of the eyes, causing damage to the retina and the lens of the eye.

It seems that you have to pay attention to protecting your eyes. "

He stopped quickly, closed his eyes and took a rest.

But at the same time, a magical quill felt controlled by thoughts, floated out of thin air, and quickly recorded in the notebook beside the bed.

"First experience using "Retrospective Vision"... key points... flaws..."

This spell is extremely practical, especially for the legendary profession he wants to achieve, "Historical Recorder". It can almost be said to be a living skill.

Roland decided to study and exercise hard and use it as freely as possible.

……

Soon after, Roland got up and came to the backyard training room.

As the sound of hitting the target came, a tall and muscular figure came into view. It was Atali who was holding a long bow and practicing the skills of rapid shooting.

As a knight professional named "Griffin Knight", although Atali does not have a real griffon as a mount like the gryphon knights in other worlds, she also trains various skills of archers part-time, and to this day Still has good shooting skills.

These things are not like those games of Blue Star in the previous life, where you just add skill points and everything is done.

If you want to maintain it for a long time, you must keep punching and flexing, and rely on a lot of training.

Atali's fighting talent is not outstanding, but her diligence is good and she has maintained good training habits for many years.

Soon after, Atali put down her bow and arrow, took out her training sword from the weapon rack next to her, and started slashing.

Roland did not disturb her, but sat on the railing nearby, watching the female knight sweating with admiration.

She was wearing a silver-white combat uniform and tight leather pants. She was tall and straight, and her movements were clean and neat, like a dancing elf.

The body that is nearly thirty years old has lost the youthfulness of more than ten years ago, but it maintains an almost perfect golden ratio due to years of training, and there is a charming charm in every move.

He admired it like this for a while, until Atali stopped, he stepped forward, put his arm on her shoulder with a smile, and said affectionately: "Atali, you are really hardworking." Atali morning He noticed that Roland was watching his training from the side, his face turned red, and he said angrily: "I'm covered in sweat now, don't touch me."

"Beautiful knight, even her sweat smells delicious."

Roland shrugged his nose, and I sniffed.

This gentle and gentlemanly behavior made Atali roll her eyes. She silently packed up her props and went to the bathroom.

"I want to discuss something with you. I plan to go back to my hometown in the near future to visit my family."

Roland followed him outside the bathroom and said to her through the frosted glass.

Atali's surprised voice came: "Why do you suddenly think of going back to your hometown?"

"I left home when I was young, and I vowed not to return my fame until I got it. Now that I am lucky enough to be successful, of course I have to go back and visit my family.

What is this called? Riches and honors do not return to their hometown, but they walk at night like brocade clothes! "

When traveling in the world, the characters are all given by myself.

Roland was obviously afraid of revealing his secret at the beginning of the time travel, so he simply refused to go home to see his family in his previous life, but he gave himself the excuse of "I will never return my fame if I don't get it".

If someone who does good deeds publicizes it, it can be considered a good story.

Now he is not only successful and famous, and has no worries about revealing his secrets, but also after ten years, some discrepancies in personal habits or details have been perfectly explained.

It's time to go back and take a look and put an end to this cause and effect.

He saw Atali's matter inadvertently, and remembering the kindness he had promised in the past, he gave himself all the beauty of his youth. If he could solve it, he should try his best to solve it.

Roland has no love for Atali, but only the selfish desire of a big shot to occupy the beauty of his youth.

He used his power very domineeringly to move Atali over and put her by his side, but he failed to give her anything in return in terms of marriage, family or love, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.

It can only be compensated in terms of material and promotion opportunities.

By accidentally seeing the other person's difficulties, and because I happened to be going home, I just happened to help.

The female knight in the bathroom was silent for a while, with a hint of imperceptible joy in her tone: "Why are you discussing this with me? Anyway, I will go wherever you go."

She really wanted to go home and have a look.

……

Roland proposed to go back and take a look. In addition to the reasons mentioned to Atali, there were actually other practical considerations.

That is, with his current status, he may be promoted to professor, become a full member, and then take over the important position of imperial consul.

Traveling by then may not be as convenient as it is now.

So, after some preparations, Roland took Atali, Gang Kidd and others, as well as a group of servants, and returned to his hometown.

Larus Territory, White Pine Township.

The local gentry who had received the news in advance, as well as the leading figures of the Mages Guild, Adventurer Guild and other organizations, all rushed to the outskirts of the east of the town.

The predecessor's parents, brother Halls, sister-in-law Maria and others were all looking forward to it, with complex expressions on their faces that included excitement, joy, and uneasiness.

When the time was approaching noon, suddenly, a huge alchemy airship approached and slowly landed in the open space at the entrance of the town.

Roland was the first to appear on the escalator out of the hatch, wearing a gorgeous classical mage robe, gold-rimmed glasses to protect his eyes, and a staff of civilization in his hand.

"Warmly welcome Mr. Roland back to his hometown!"

Everyone stood in silence, and as the fireworks bloomed and strings played, a simple yet solemn ceremony was performed.

The town was not very grand, but they still tried their best to collect several large rolls of red cloth and paved the road all the way to the town.

Roland made an excited gesture and hugged his parents and brother respectively.

For a moment, everyone who saw it had tears in their eyes.

"Your Excellency Roland has lofty aspirations and a great mind, and finally all the hardships have come to an end!"

"I swear I will never return my fame if I don't get it... These are indeed extraordinary words!"

"A small place like ours has such a big shot."

In the magical world, there is also the saying of hometown.

Just because Roland advanced to a high level and won the Arcane Star Award, not to mention Baisong Town, even the entire Larus Territory has benefited a lot.

Therefore, after the Roland family met, the first person to greet them was the lord of Larus Territory.

This pot-bellied man was a worldly big shot that his predecessor would never have been able to obtain in his original destiny.

His title in the old days should have been that of a grand duke, and he was even qualified to proclaim himself king.

But under the system of the Arcane Empire, he was completely reduced to a mascot. Now when he saw Roland, who was successful and famous, he nodded and bowed to greet him.

"Your Excellency Roland, on behalf of all the people of Larus Territory, I would like to pay my highest respect to you!"

After shaking hands with the local lord, Roland patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lord, there is no need to be polite. Speaking of which, I was also a subject here in the past, and I was deeply blessed by my hometown."

But I feel a little regretful in my heart. There is no story about the villagers collecting a hundred monster skins or slime eggs to send them to school. Otherwise, there will be more reasons to benefit the country.

Everyone couldn't help but stand in awe.

Look, when you drink water, remember the source, and never forget your roots in life.

What a noble and great sentiment this is.

A group of prominent figures from nearby big cities came to see him in turn, and then it was the turn of the squires from this town.

Atali's father, Morrison, was at the end of the table, and his waist was as thick as a minions.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of his predecessor, he was also a tyrannical figure, the old chief of the town's police chief, and his daughter Atali was the most beautiful and beautiful girl in the town.

"No gift?" Roland muttered this weird homophony to himself, thinking that it's no wonder that you have been a sheriff in this small town all your life, but you are in decline that can be seen with the naked eye.

But he stepped forward specially, gave a few words of polite condolences, and said with a smile: "Lord Morrison, thank you for raising a good daughter and helping me a lot."

Morrison didn't know what he meant, but Lord Larousse's pupils trembled.

His eyes quickly roamed among the entourage, and he suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Lord Morrison is already in the past. He is now... now my court earl!"

Lord Morrison was confused throughout.

The people around were slightly stunned, and soon some people from the town took a deep breath when they saw Atali in the crowd.

His grandma's!

It was said before that Old Huoli's family was lucky enough to have a child favored by the goddess of luck, and his life changed forever. However, they did not expect that there was a hidden Lao Liu in this town, who kept silent and got into this relationship. , also soared into the sky.

Morrison, you are so despicable!
