wizard's path

() In the end, only Rooney and Borg survived among the remaining people, and the rest were executed by hanging.

Originally, those who obtained freedom would get a fairly generous sum of money.But after Eric looked at the five silvers in his hand, and at the sender, he smiled and said thank you and left.

"This kid didn't get angry. In that case, even the last five silvers would be mine!" the arena staff in charge of distributing money whispered.

"Eric! You are finally out! Come and thank Sophia, it was Sophia who rescued you." Caroline, who had been waiting outside the arena early, hugged Eric happily and said.

After Eric heard Caroline's words, he looked puzzled at the blond long-haired girl in gorgeous armor with an elegant temperament but stern eyes.

"Eric, don't think that it's enough to get freedom in the arena. Didn't you realize that you are the only one who came out? The rest of the people, except those who promised to be slaves to the nobles, will be sent to the mines to work for three years." year." Caroline, who seemed to understand what Eric was thinking, explained the whole story.

Sophia just waved her hand casually and said, "No need, I also want to thank you for taking care of Aunt Caroline at sea, this is my gratitude."

Eric had never seen such a charming woman, but he just gave Sophia an extra look.Because an old man standing behind Sophia put a lot of pressure on Eric.

The old man was dressed in a tuxedo, his frost-white hair was combed meticulously, and he had the tall and straight figure of a young man.Like a green pine standing behind Sophia.

When Eric took another look at Sophia, the old man stared at Eric, as if Eric would be in danger immediately if he made any rude moves.

"However, you need to be a servant in my manor for three years." Eric didn't have any expression on his face when he heard this.

Caroline, who was on the side, wanted to say something, but was quickly stopped by Sophia: "Aunt Caroline, I am doing this for your own good, and I don't worry about keeping a pirate by your side all the time. This is also right." Eric's test."

Then, Sophia said to the old man behind him: "Grandpa Thule, Eric will let you arrange it."

"Miss, how many times have I said that I'm just a housekeeper, you don't need to call me grandpa, it's not good for other nobles to know, they will laugh at you." Thule bent over and said to Sophia.

"Joke me? Hehe, don't worry, those people are nothing but moths of the empire." After saying this, Sophia left.

Caroline thought of something before Sophia left, and asked Sophia: "Can you let Eric live in my house, so that it is convenient to take care of him, Eric is still a child!"

"Okay, my Aunt Caroline, you are always so kind." Seeing the pleading look on Caroline's face, Sophia had no choice but to agree.

Caroline does not live in the city of Laika, but in a small town of Laika a little far from the city of Laika.This small town of Laika was a gathering place for refugees ten years ago.

Since the town of Laika is close to the cloud forest, many adventurers will visit this crowded place. Therefore, after ten years of development, the town of Laika has changed from a refugee gathering place to a bustling town.

Sophia's manor is not far from the small town of Laika.

The housekeeper Thule let Eric rest for two days, and after two days he would take Eric to the manor to arrange work.

"Eric, come in, this will be your home from now on!"

When they came to a two-story wooden house, Caroline happily took Eric's hand, introduced to Eric, and shouted: "Alan, Al, Emily, come out!"

Eric was amused to hear Caroline's yell: it seems that Aunt Caroline's three children have all been named Ai.

Suddenly, three children ran out of the house.

Caroline pointed to the three children and said: "This is my eldest son Alan, he is as old as you, only 12 years old, this is my younger son Al, who is seven years old, and the rest is my younger daughter Amy Li, she is only two years old."

Eric looked at Caroline's three children with a smile on his face. He found that Alan seemed to be a little prejudiced against him, while Al was joking. As for Emily, she was so cute.

Emily's pink face had two braids hanging down, a pair of big black eyes flashed, and her reddish cheeks shone like apples, just like the twilight and the setting sun, cleverly contrasting each other.

She was biting her finger at the moment, looking at Eric flickeringly.

"Hahaha!" Emily reminded Eric of his brothers and sisters in the orphanage in his previous life, so he laughed a few times and stepped forward, hugging Emily.

"Don't eat your fingers, it's dirty!" Eric flicked Emily's fingers out of his mouth.

Emily, who was picked up by Eric, was not afraid of being unfamiliar, but grabbed Eric's face with a smile.Before entering Caroline's house, Eric looked at the tavern opposite and found that it was very lively.

The two-story wooden building opposite is the tavern opened by the Carolines in the small town of Laika - the Sword and Shield tavern.Mainly Bennett ran it, and Caroline was always the cook at Tulip Manor.

"Bennett, this is the pirate who saved your wife! I didn't expect to survive the arena, you have to thank him! If it weren't for him, you don't know how many cuckolds you have now."

"Fuck you, you dare to pay on credit next time, I won't kick you out!" Caroline roared at the tavern after hearing this.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong, Caroline, just let me go this time, I promise, if anyone dares to say such things again, I will tear his mouth apart." Is a burly big man.

After Eric saw the burly man scanning the tavern viciously, he knew that the burly man had said that on purpose just now, in order to warn those who wanted to talk nonsense.

After entering the house, Caroline wanted Allen to take Eric to his room.But Allen turned his head and ignored Caroline.

"You child, why are you like this? Don't you even know how to be polite? As I said, Eric will be a part of our family from now on!"

"I won't admit it, he's just a pirate, a slave, and my friends are laughing at me!"

Caroline, who heard this, wanted to slap Allen without hesitation.

"Aunt Caroline! I believe time will change everything." Eric stopped Caroline's movements.

At this time, Emily, who was held in Eric's arms, pointed upstairs with her little finger, and said childishly: "That, that, that."

Caroline, who was originally angry, smiled: "Haha, my Emily, it's up to you to show Brother Eric to see the room."

Eric was also very happy, couldn't help but kissed Emily on the face, and then put Emily on his neck: "Let's go!"

In the evening, when Eric and Caroline's family sat at the table to enjoy dinner, the whispers and laughter at dinner made Eric feel at home, and even Alan treated Eric better A lot, though still lukewarm.

This made Eric's nose sour. In his previous life, Eric looked for his parents and found them too.

But their parents divorced a long time ago, and they should have never been married at all. They all have their own families and children, and have their own happy family life.

Eric, who didn't meet each other, returned to the orphanage and couldn't help laughing when he saw the old director "father" who only "missed two pieces of flesh on his chest".

Now, feeling the warmth of his family, Eric thinks he is lucky for the first time.
