It seemed like a moment had passed, but it also seemed like a century had passed.
Morin looked dazed, and his body felt empty, as if something existed, but at the same time, he seemed to feel nothing.
He shook his head subconsciously, looked at the crystal ball in front of him, and found that the crystal ball was emitting a hazy gray light.
"Congratulations, future wizard."
Scolett's gentle voice came over.
Maureen only felt a blank in front of his eyes, and his brain seemed to be suffocated suddenly, making him look dazed. He forced a smile at Scolett, then walked aside and stood with Kerry and Elena and Aaron.
The qualification test is still going on, but it has nothing to do with Maureen anymore.
He let out a long breath and finally calmed down.
"Hey, Maureen, we are wizards. I will be a wizard in the future." Richard stood beside him, looking very excited.
Just now, out of caution, the Duke asked Richard to take the test last, and it turned out that Richard also had the qualifications of a wizard.
"Haha, Master Scolett, please take good care of Richard from now on."
The Duke of Scran laughed heartily, his face showing an unconcealable joy.
Then the Duke arranged for Scolet and the others to stay, and after a while, the Duke of Sclan returned to the hall.
Maureen and Carey were eating. They had been servants before, so their meals were always late and it was inevitable that they would go hungry.
"Your Excellency the Duke." Morin and Kerry saluted the Duke of Sclan.
"Yes." Duke Scran nodded slightly and said, "Maureen, Carey, I'm glad that you, like Richard, have wizard qualifications. Then, you don't have to go back and just live in the Duke's Mansion."
"Okay, Your Excellency." Kerry looked very excited and nodded quickly.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have some things to deal with and I have to go home." Morin thought for a moment and shook his head.
Duke Scran was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Molin, you want to go back? Well, that's fine."
"Sivan, Ivan!"
The Duke suddenly shouted.
Two knights in armor immediately came in, knelt on one knee in front of the Duke of Scran, and said, "Your Excellency the Duke."
"Escort Morin back and make sure he's safe. Remember that?"
Duke Scran said lightly.
The two knights looked at Morin, said nothing, and just hit their chests hard with their fists.
Morin said goodbye to the Duke, then walked towards the civilian area with two knights.
Feeling the two knights beside him exuding a fierce aura, Morin moved and said, "Chip, scan!"
"Beep! Start scanning."
"Xifan, gender: male, strength: 3, speed: 2, physique: 3!"
"Ivan, Gender: Male, Strength: 2, Speed: 4, Constitution: 3!"
Morin remained calm on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart. Strength 3? Speed 4? Are they still human? Compared to ordinary people, these two knights are simply superhuman.
"My two knights, you are very powerful. I feel a sense of oppression when I am close to you."
Maureen looked at them and said this half seriously and half jokingly.
Xifan and Ivan looked at each other. Ivan with brown hair smiled and said, "Respected Lord Morin, this is of course. You know, we have been doing knight training since we were young, using the knight breathing method to train."
Knight's breathing?
A thoughtful look appeared on Maureen's face.
Soon, we arrived at the slums.
"Hey, Maureen, I've already bought the coffin, and put old John's in it. Wow, old John sleeps so soundly in it...ah, my two great knights." Andrew saw Maureen and was about to make a few jokes when he saw Sifan and Ivan next to him. He was so scared that he didn't even dare to say a word.
Xifan and Ivan stared straight ahead and did not move.
Maureen walked up to Andrew and said, "Okay, Uncle Andrew, Xifan and Ivan are here to protect me, don't worry."
"Protect you, little Maureen, you..."
Andrew was a little incoherent.
Maureen gave Andrew a reassuring smile and said, "Okay, Uncle Andrew, take me to Grandpa's grave."
There are no cemeteries for the poor. The so-called cemetery is actually just a random hole dug on a piece of wasteland for burial. The same is true for old John.
There were a lot of people on the wasteland. After all, death was a big deal, so many people who were familiar with Old John would come over to take a look.
"Andrew, why did you come here just now, little Maureen...Oh, my God, two knights." Aunt Mary was about to say something, but when she saw Sifan and Ivan, she was immediately speechless.
There was a commotion all around. You know, this was a knight. To the poor, a knight was already a big shot.
Everyone could see that the two knights followed closely behind Morin, with Morin as their priority, as if they were protecting Morin.
After a slight commotion, the surroundings became quiet, and people's eyes fell on Morin, with various meanings.
"Aunt Mary, where is grandpa's coffin?" Maureen looked at Mary.
Aunt Mary pointed forward subconsciously.
Maureen walked over and saw the familiar old man's face in the coffin. At this time, old John's clothes were very clean and neatly tidied, and he looked very kind.
After looking for a while, Morin sighed softly and closed the coffin lid.
"Aunt Mary, Uncle Andrew."
Morin thought for a moment, picked up a small cloth bag, walked in front of them, handed the bag to them, and said, "Take these things, leave the slums, and live a good life."
When Andrew opened it, he was shocked to see that the bag was full of gold, with at least a hundred gold coins.
"No, little Maureen, this is really..."
Aunt Mary shook her head and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Maureen.
"Aunt Mary, take this money." Maureen held their hands and said, "You deserve these things. Thank you for your care in the past."
The gold coins in the small cloth bag and the money given to Maureen by the Duke of Scran were considered the expenses for handling the affairs. Maureen had nothing to use for them, so he gave them all to Uncle Andrew and Aunt Mary.
Only when she saw Andrew and the others accepted it did Maureen laugh.
Although he gave them more than a hundred gold coins, Morin was not worried because he had already made up his mind to let Sifan and Ivan protect Aunt Mary and the others for a short period of time, at least to let Aunt Mary and the others settle down in the wealthy neighborhood.
"By the way, Uncle Andrew, give me the shovel." Maureen thought for a moment and said.
Andrew quickly handed over the shovel.
Morin took a shovel, walked to the open space next to the coffin, and began to dig hard.
Before long, he was sweating all over.
"Lord Morin, perhaps we can help you." Xifan thought for a moment and spoke.
"Need not."
Maureen's face turned pale, but he shook his head.
Finally, after a long time, Morin dug a big hole.
He wiped the sweat off his face with his hands, then slowly pushed old John's coffin into the pit.
Taking one last look at the coffin, Maureen began to backfill the space with dirt.
It was very quiet all around, no one left, and everyone was watching Morin's actions quietly.
Suddenly, a rude voice sounded.
"Ah, it's Morin. Oh, yes, you want to bury that dead old John. By the way, Morin, Old John wouldn't leave you only so few silver coins, would he?" Angre pushed through the crowd, rushed out, and shouted at Morin, "Quick, hand over the rest of the money, do you hear me?"
Angre shouted as he walked towards Morin.
However, when he was halfway there, he was blocked by two tall and majestic figures.
"Sir... Knight?" Angre was stunned.
Xifan smiled, raised his fist, and punched down hard at Angre with a fierce sound of wind.
Angre screamed, spat out a few bloody teeth, and flew backwards.
"My Lord Knight, please spare me, please spare me, I have not, I have not offended you..." Angre said hurriedly while lying on the ground.
Ivan kicked Angrei hard, causing his body to arch.
"Lord Morin."
Xifan and Ivan looked at Maureen.
Morin? Sir? Lord Morin? What's going on? Angre was already confused.
Morin paused and glanced at Angre.
"Angel, do you remember that you stole my bread?" Morin's voice was very light and flat.
Angre's heart tightened, and a bad feeling suddenly came over him.
"Molin, Morin, Lord Morin!" Angre shouted. But Morin was no longer looking at him.
Xifan smiled and punched Angre on the forehead. Although Morin only said a simple sentence, he and Ivan were not fools and naturally understood what Morin meant.
The two knights began to beat up Angre, punching and kicking him hard on the chest, stomach, and head.
Angre's screams continued and blood splattered everywhere.
Gradually, his voice became weaker, but the two knights still showed no intention of stopping.
Maureen filled the soil and compacted it hard.
Looking at this slightly raised mound of earth, Maureen knew that this was not only the grave of old John, but also the grave of Maureen in the past.
From now on, the previous Morin is dead, and he is the only one left in this world.
Morin brought a carved stone tablet and placed it in front of the grave.
After standing in front of the grave for a while, he turned around and walked outside.
"Okay, let's go." Morin said to the two knights.
Morin had no interest in even taking a look at Angre, who was covered in blood and beaten to death.
Oil lamps gradually lit up in the streets and alleys of Sclan City.
The night gradually darkened.
Morin and the two knights who protected him walked towards the Duke's palace.
