Chapter 60 Extra: Intertwined Destinies

After experiencing the beast tide, Windmill Town is undergoing major renovations.

People worked very hard in the mood of surviving the disaster, and the city wall was repaired very quickly.

The captain of the guard found the mayor with a melancholy face on the city wall.

"How about a drink?"

"Um."

Casa Tavern

In a separate room.

"bump"

The two of them clinked wooden wine glasses filled with inferior ale and drank it all in one gulp.

White ale hops flowed down the mayor's collar, moistening the worn magic robe.

"Haha, I haven't drunk this kind of low-quality ale for many years. Don't tell me that it has to taste like this to feel good."

The captain of the guard laughed and started the conversation between the two.

The mayor didn't reply.

He stared at the white ale flowers in the wooden cup in a daze.

"How many years have we not had a drink together?"

"Luke Uriah"

The mayor looked at his friend across from him and called him by his full name for the first time in nearly ten years.

"It must have been almost ten years. It seems that after the mercenary group was disbanded, you stopped drinking with me."

Guard captain Luke laughed at himself at first.

Then he looked at the mayor seriously and said his full name.

"Marshall Bate"

"It's been ten years, but I still feel like it happened yesterday."

Marshall took another sip of bad ale.

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!"

The coarse and rough wine made him cough uncontrollably.

Maybe the wine was too bad. His face turned red and he even coughed up tears.

Luke drank another drink with him silently.

"I remember when I was little, you were the one who wanted to be a magician."

"You dragged me to accompany you to take the entrance test, but in the end I accompanied you to the interview, but I was left behind."

Marshall wiped the corners of his eyes, looked at Luke who was drinking silently across from him, and recalled with a smile.

"Yes, we were both young at that time. Who would have thought that you, who had always longed for the life of a mercenary, would end up on the path of magic."

Luke said with a smile as he refilled Marshall's glass of wine.

The path of destiny is always so elusive.

A young man who likes magic is forced to embark on the path of practicing fighting spirit.

A young man who longed to lick the blood of a mercenary finally fell into the arms of magic.

They became envious of each other until that girl appeared.

"I regret it, Luke."

Marshall suddenly reached out and grabbed Luke's rough palm, looking at him intently.

"I really regret it"

"Don't say this.

Listen to me Marshall, today we will only drink and talk about nothing else."

Luke grabbed Marshall's arm with his backhand and said calmly.

Two middle-aged men over forty just looked at each other.

In the end, Marshall was the first to let go.

Just like back then, when two young boys with adoring hearts faced the girl, he was the one who let go first.

Marshall picked up the glass again and drank from it.

"At that time, we were in a hurry, but we forgot to look up at the stars above our heads."

"I thought magic could make me forget everything, so I kept looking for new magic to learn after leaving the mercenary group."

"But I found that no matter how much magic I learn, it can't make up for the pain in my heart."

"The day you became captain of the guard was also the day you married Aaliyah."

"I originally agreed to be your witness, so I chose to travel in a hurry, heading west without knowing where my destination was."

Luke listened quietly to his friend's confession.

It was his wedding that day, but his best brother was not there.

Marshall fell into memories and continued to describe what he encountered after escaping.

"I walked to the outskirts of the Ibi Forest in a daze, thinking about finding a monster to kill myself."

"I successfully found a level 6 monster, Buck Bear, and I want to die with more honor."

"I charged at it. As expected, it was just a normal blow and I was knocked to the ground."

"Later, I met the guardian of "Blue"."

Luke sat on the wooden bench and listened silently. This was something Marshall had never told him before.

"I told her my story.

I thought I would receive some words of comfort, but she didn't say anything, she just patted me on the shoulder and asked me to pay for the drink."

Marshall took another sip of wine and suddenly looked at Luke fiercely.

"After what happened, I suddenly didn't want to die."

"His grandma, you, the bastard who stole my fiancée, is not dead yet, how could I be dead!"

"You stupid, despicable, heartless, muscular guy"

In Luke's stunned expression, Marshall suddenly cursed with red eyes.

This great magician, who has been a gentleman for nearly forty years, used foul language in front of outsiders for the first time.

Luke did not interrupt his scolding and quietly accepted his friend's cry.

Time seems to have returned to that summer again.

————

Marshall and Aaliyah were childhood sweethearts.

They were born in Windmill Town and met here.

Both parties' families are also neighbors, and their parents made a marriage contract for them.

But due to a strange combination of circumstances, Marshall became a magic apprentice.

He left Windmill Town with an old mage.

This journey lasted 7 years.

Luke, who was found to have no magical talent at all, was disheartened and chose to spend the rest of his life in Windmill Town.

Later, he was accepted as a disciple by an old mercenary, and his progress in practicing fighting spirit was unexpectedly fast.

In just one year, he was promoted from an ordinary person practicing fighting spirit to the black iron level!

You should know that it would take a child from a normal family at least five years to reach this level.

The old mercenary stayed in Windmill Town, hoping to teach a warrior who would become famous in the mainland before he died.

During this period, Luke and Aaliyah developed feelings for each other, but neither party expressed it.

The vast majority of wild mages will never return to their hometown in their lifetime.

They have dedicated themselves to the eternal god of magic.

However, there are always exceptions to everything.
