In every action, Rowan focused on one thing, which was to find the source of the dissonance he felt.
Soon, he realized something was wrong. Because there were so many children, they stole a lot of food. In this case, it was impossible for the owner to not notice it. This was what Rowan was most worried about all along.
place. When the magician finds out, what will he do to his group of people?
But with the daily thefts, not only did the owner show no reaction, but the food placed in the kitchen also changed from only bread, fruit and milk to the ones mentioned above, as well as some dried meat, dried fish and
Pickled vegetables. Simply put, there are more and more foods that can be eaten directly without cooking.
There can only be one explanation, that is, what a group of people did was discovered a long time ago! The things they got were specially prepared by the other party. Otherwise, there would not be so much dry food in the kitchen
. At the beginning, there wasn’t much bread or anything.
After realizing this fact, Rowan became a little restless, and even the delicious food no longer tasted good. Now he just hoped that he had guessed wrong, and that such inference was just overthinking.
But as long as people have suspicions, it is difficult to give them up. This is true for adults, and it is also true for children with relatively simple minds. Maybe the children's symptoms will not be that serious, but the environment Rowan is in cannot help but make him not think too much. Because people who are too simple,
They have long since starved to death on the roadside.
Maybe the matter was too big and Rowan couldn't make up his mind, so he found a time to gather all the children together and tell them what he found. The children may be limited by their breadth of knowledge and accumulation of experience, so they don't know much about many things.
They don't have enough sensitivity. But that doesn't mean they are stupid. As long as someone comes up with a lead, they can naturally find more evidence.
The conclusion is that there is a high probability that they have been discovered.
"So, what are we going to do?" One kid asked nonsense.
At this time, the children were divided into two groups. Some looked at Rowan who raised doubts, and the other looked at Ezio who led him into the ditch. However, there was nothing good about the two children.
Method, Ezio even thought of luck and said: "Maybe it's just your illusion, boss. In fact, we haven't been discovered yet."
"That's your original home, Ezio." Rowan said another of his deductions.
As soon as the words came out, the child who couldn't hide his expression immediately fell down. Rowan knew that his guess was correct. He asked, "Why did you leave your home, a young master from a rich family?"
Ezio gritted his teeth and decided to confess, saying, "That's not my home. It's different from what all of you think. I'm just an orphan, living in that place with my grandfather."
"What's going on?" This is the question most people ask.
Since Ezio decided to confess, he did not hide it, but explained to all the children what he knew about his life experience. It was not complicated anyway, he was an orphan on the snow mountain, first adopted by the black dragon;
The black dragon was picked up and brought home by the magician.
Everyone in that family did not hide these things from him. It was precisely because he understood that he did not belong to that family that he longed for love even more. He did those outrageous behaviors in the hope of attracting attention. It is a pity that
, those behaviors only resulted in a beating, so he chose to leave that home.
Faced with this truth, the children all stood on Ezio's side and cursed indignantly. But Rowan was quite rational. He didn't care about the grudge between Ezio and the magician. He was more concerned about the outcome of all the children here.
What will happen, so he asked: "Based on your understanding of the magician, what do you think he will do?"
"Well, continue to ignore us?" Ezio said hesitantly.
Regarding this uncertain answer, Rowan felt that he could no longer rely on Ezio in this matter. So he said: "Take me to see the magician. With you leading the way, I should be able to see the magician."
Big shot."
"Why?" Ezio asked with a sour tone. This was also the voice of most children.
Rowan explained: "Since the magician didn't stop us from stealing food, it means that he has good intentions or some purpose. No matter what his thoughts are, it would be more direct to ask him face to face than to guess."
It would be better to know what he wants to do than to worry about what will happen now."
Rowan's words convinced most of the children. But Ezio still said stubbornly: "Maybe they really don't know. In the end, we came to them on our own initiative, just like we threw ourselves into a trap."
Pressing Ezio's cheeks, Rowan said domineeringly: "I don't care about that. Anyway, the matter with the magician must be resolved, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well. Since you started the matter, you can
Must go.”
Letting go of Ezio, who had been severely ravaged, Rowan looked at the other children and said, "If you want to follow me, I have no objection. But I don't know what will happen after meeting the magician."
It may be dangerous, and you may even die there. And I will definitely go. If I can come back alive, I will also tell others what happened. As for you, make your own decision and don't be influenced by others.
, and don’t influence other people. According to Ezio, that magician is not easy to get along with. There is actually a certain danger in appearing in front of him."
After setting the tone of the matter, the children, who didn't have many opinions yet, agreed with Rowan's approach, except for Ezio, who was scolding him.
It's just that Rowan ignored the children's mobility, or that everyone didn't have much patience to wait. After making the decision to meet the magician, the children who had nothing to do swarmed to support Rowan and Ezio.
Let's go to the magician's house together. Everyone goes, no one is left behind.
However, after taking a large group of children into the street noisily, Rowan and Ezio felt regret at the same time. They usually went down the street and nearby places, because they were both bustling areas, otherwise they would
I just walked under the shadows in the middle of the night, so I didn't feel anything yet.
But the place where the magician lives is not only on the outskirts of the holy city of Estali, it is also a sparsely populated and relatively quiet high-end area. The people who live here are either rich or noble. This is what Rowan stole.
After eating bread several times and feeling suspicious, I found out the news.
It felt strange to go to the mansion where the magician lived in broad daylight. Apart from the fact that there was no place to hide during the day, there were no people around and it was quite quiet. The noisiest thing was the army of children.
It would be fine if all the children who came with them knew what they were doing. But there were quite a few who were joining in the fun and came to see what the place that gave out free bread every day looked like. Of course, they would not admit that they
He is just a glutton who wants to touch a few more pieces of bread and walk away. The child who truly knows what he is here for and what the consequences may be is probably only one or two out of ten.
Being so conspicuous and ostentatious was not Rowan and Ezio’s original intention.
