Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes

"And the legend I want to tell is related to the nine-flowered bellflower.

It's a pity that the specific content of this legend has been lost, and all I know is the ending of the legend—that was told to me by my grandma. "

The old woman squinted her gray eyes and smiled as she recalled the past years. The little boy also put down the straw in his hand and listened to the old man's story wholeheartedly.

According to legend, the bellflower bearing nine "wind chimes" is a symbol of luck. As long as you can find the nine bellflowers, you will get happiness and longevity!

However, since the bellflowers with nine bells cannot be found, people usually use the bellflowers dried in the sun as a substitute, and weave it together with Mangul tree fruit to pray for good luck in the year. . "

Fiona widened her lake-blue eyes when she heard this, and asked the old woman curiously.

"Grandma, have you ever found the bellflower of the nine wind chimes?"

"The bellflower of the nine wind chimes..."

As if some memories were touched by Fiona's question, a happy smile appeared on the old lady's face, and her voice couldn't help becoming a little hoarse.

"Old lady, I have been weaving straw all my life, but I only saw it once when I was young!"

"Do you know? Girl, we were not originally residents of Karras, but a small mountain village tens of kilometers away.

During a beast tide, our village was destroyed by the beast tide. As a last resort, my husband and I came to Karrath with our three children.

In order to make a living, my husband chose to become an honorable city guard.

I picked up the straw weaving skills I learned from my grandma, weaving some small things in the spare time of housework, and then taking the finished products to the market to exchange for money to support my family.

During that short period of time, I lived very hard, but it was the happiest period of time when I was young.

But good things are always very fragile. Three years later, during a warcraft invasion, my husband's throat was torn open by a wind wolf.

In compensation, we were given full resident status in Karrath and a place to live in the Lower Town.

Even without him, life goes on and the children still need my care. But at that time, my straw weaving skills were not good, and my daily income was not much, which was not enough for my daily needs.

For a long time, the whole family could only eat two meals a day, and the eldest daughter had to go out and do some odd jobs to subsidize the family..."

Having said that, the old woman couldn't help but sighed, and then continued to tell.

"One afternoon in the golden moon of that year, under the scorching sun, I collected grass on the field outside the city.

But the originally clear sky turned cloudy within a few minutes. Soon, the downpour began to clatter.

I had no choice but to run towards the hill where the bushes grew, with a basket of grass on my head, hoping to find shelter from the rain.

But because I ran too fast, I tripped over a stone and fell heavily in the muddy water. His clothes were covered with mud, his body was drenched in the icy rain, and the grass in the basket was scattered all over the floor.

For a moment, I really wanted to lie on the ground like this and never get up again——

But, I can't do that, my three daughters are still waiting for me at home.

I gritted my teeth and got up, braved the heavy rain, and put the spilled grass back into the basket bit by bit. Fortunately, the rainstorm came and went quickly, and the sun soon emerged from the clouds again.

On the way back, I passed a large rock. At this moment, something gleaming attracted me. "

As she spoke, the tone of the old woman's story began to rise.

"In a crevice in that rock, I saw it—

The emerald green stems are like jewels, with crystal water droplets shining on them, and the pure white flowers hang down from the stems, swaying in the wind like real wind chimes.

I remember that scene very clearly——

Exactly nine, not many, not many!

At that time, I was in a hurry to go home, and I didn't think too much about it, I just thought this grass was very eye-catching.

It wasn't until that year's Frostfall Moon, when I sorted out my grandma's belongings, that I remembered this legend again, but the grass withered and withered long ago.

In the Scarlet Rain Moon of the second year, I went there again, but this time, the number of its flowers was the normal twelve. "

"During that time, I often regretted it. If I remembered that legend at that time, I would definitely take it off. It should be able to sell a lot of money and improve our family conditions.

But later, my straw weaving skills improved again, more and more people bought them, and the living conditions gradually improved.

Moreover, in the annual professional talent test, my second daughter and youngest daughter have also tested professional talent one after another.

Although not high, it has already reached the level of entering the professional academy. The eldest daughter also married a good husband and lived a very happy life. "

Having said that, the old man raised his face and narrowed his smiling eyes. In the depths of the connected wrinkles, there is an incomparably deep and peaceful satisfaction.

"Thinking about it now, this ending is not bad. Although I didn't pick it, I finally found it—"

While talking, the old woman seemed to have noticed something suddenly, and looked at the two of them again, with a trace of apology in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, two little girls, I took up so much of your time. As you get older, you tend to be verbose..."

"No, old lady, thank you for your story."

Fiona, who was fascinated by the story, came back to her senses, and shook her head when she heard the old woman's words, but she had already made a decision in her heart.

She took the straw wind chime and motioned for Annie to pay.

Afterwards, she took back the bunch of fruit from Annie's hand, and smiled at the little boy who was peeking at her. The slender hand wearing white gloves stuffed the bunch of fruit into his hand——she noticed the little boy's previous gaze.

"Here, take it and eat it."

Seeing this scene, Annie hesitated to speak. Although she likes the kindness of the eldest lady, as the little princess of Oliwendi, after all, she should not have too much interaction with the common people.

In the end, Annie sighed and decided to pretend that she didn't see her lady's demeaning behavior.

After all, she's just a tiny half-elven maid.

"Thank you sister..."

Grabbing the bunch of fruits, the little boy blushed, seemed a little shy, and quickly thanked Fiona.

Fiona froze, then giggled, feeling fresh at being called sister - she had never been called that before.

"May the gods bless you, good little girl."

The old woman also showed a thankful smile.

Fiona smiled and nodded to the old man, then led Annie and left the booth. Watched by the two thanks, the slender figures of the two girls gradually disappeared into the dazzling sunlight at the other end of the alley.

In the distance, the conversation between the little boy and the old man could be faintly heard.

"Grandma, my age is enough next year. When the adults of the academy come to test my talent, I will definitely pass the test and become a mage!

In that way, grandma, the straw weaves you make can really move in the future, and it will definitely sell well! "

"Okay, little Roach, grandma, I must wait for that day—"
