“Uncle Wayne, what’s wrong? You’ve been in a bad mood since just now...”
Olivia couldn’t wait to ask after leaving the courtyard.
Wayne still had a gloomy face, and it was obvious that he had something on his mind.
“I remember some things from the past...”
Looking at Wayne who was deep in thought, Olivia felt a little strange.
“What happened in the past? Is it okay for you to tell me?”
Olivia didn’t know much about Wayne’s past. The Wayne she knew was the Wayne everyone knew. She didn’t know what Yupanki had said about Wayne’s past.
“There’s nothing that I can’t tell you, but it’s all old stuff. I’m afraid you young people don’t like hearing about it.”
Wayne looked at the young girl in front of him. This child was just like Alan, a kind and good child. Moreover, the things he had done in the past weren’t anything shameful, so it wasn’t a big deal to say it out loud. Seeing that she was curious, he slowly told her about it.
“When I first came to the Imperial City, I originally wanted to enter the Knight Academy to study. You know about this, right?”
Seeing Olivia nod, he continued.
“In the end, I didn’t succeed. The Academy said that I was too old and didn’t meet their recruitment standards.”
“I didn’t want to give up on my dream of becoming strong, so I went to the mercenary union. At that time, I didn’t know anything and had nothing. I asked almost all the unions, but no one was willing to accept me.”
Olivia frowned slightly. She had never thought that Uncle Wayne, who was so powerful, would be so despised back then.
“At that time, I really wanted to give up. Just when I was about to leave, the third captain of the Eagle Group had just returned from completing a mission. After he heard about my matter, he found me and asked me to follow him in the future.”
“At the beginning, I thought that I had met a swindler. After I found out that it was true, it really gave me a big fright. The first union I applied was the Eagle Group, but I was rejected. I didn’t expect that I would go back in the end.”
Wayne was still very emotional when he recalled that period of time.
“Later, under the care of Captain Rogge, I began to cultivate and began to adapt to the days of the mercenary group. At that time, I realized that I was just like a frog at the bottom of a well. I didn’t know anything and still felt that I was quite powerful. hehehe.”
Thinking back to the interesting parts, Wayne would also find it amusing.
Seeing Wayne smiled, Olivia also smiled, as if she had experienced those things as well.
“At that time, I was really eager to learn. Whether it was teaching me magic or teaching me how to fight as a knight, I accepted them all. At that time, my learning state was really high.”
“Later on, when I became stronger and stronger, those who were not willing to take me in were very regretful and came to flatter me. At that time, I was also young. Those who looked down on you suddenly turned around and worshipped you. Everyone would be on cloud nine, right?”
At that time, it could be said that Wayne was at his peak. Because when he first arrived in the capital, he was a poor country boy who knew nothing. He only used three years to become an archmage, and he was also a high-level knight.
The achievements of an archmage were already very impressive in the eyes of many people, not to mention becoming a knight at the same time.
Thus, everyone took out Wayne’s story as a matter of course to flatter him. Only those who had rejected him did not dare to speak.
This story was widely spread in the Imperial City, and Olivia had also heard of it.
“Just like that, I spent another three years in this kind of day that everyone was praising me. My strength once again took a qualitative leap. It was at this time that the Imperial City spread the news that I was going to slay a dragon.”
As for slaying a dragon, in the eyes of the people that familiar with Wayne, the rumor itself was full of doubts.
It was just that after the rumor, the people who knew about it had all met with inexplicable accidents, and all of them died tragically!
Only Wayne, who was the main character of the rumor, and Dorje, who only knew a little about it, were left. No one else knew about it.
“Even if I’m young and impetuous, I’m not that arrogant. At least, no one on the continent dares to say such things like slaying dragons. Of course, I’m no exception.”
“When this rumor first spread, I happened to be on a mission with my own team. Captain Rogge had just returned to the capital after his mission ended. At that time, the news of me going to slay dragons had already spread throughout the entire city.”
Wayne sighed when he said this. What came next was the most crucial part of the matter.
“Captain Rogge was worried that I would really be tricked into slaying a dragon. After asking about the location and the situation, he rushed out of the city to chase me.”
“When I returned to the capital after the mission, the rumor of me slaying a dragon became even more outrageous. I couldn’t explain what exactly happened. When I returned to the union, I was told by others that Captain Rogge had gone out to look for me to slay a dragon. There had been no news of me for seven days.”
“At that time, I had a premonition that something had happened. When I found him, it had already been half a month since captain left to look for me.”
Looking at the depressed Wayne in front of her, Olivia reached out and patted his shoulder twice. She could imagine the rest of the story, so she continued.
“You only found the body of Captain Rogge and the fatal wounds on his body was caused by the ghoul?”
“Just now, you heard Stanton talking about the ghoul called Foster. Are you suspecting that this Foster is the ghoul who killed Captain Rogge?”
After Olivia finished speaking tentatively, she looked at Wayne and waited for his reply.
“Yes. After the investigation, I also got a lot of information. However, after so many years, before I found any information about the ghouls, something happened...”
“I buried Rogge. Someone sent me news that they found traces of the ghouls.”
“I believed it and went. In the end, there was only the corpse of an ice-type pseudodragon in the valley. It didn’t die for long. Before I understood what happened, Kyurem came. You should know what happened after that.”
Wayne fell silent after saying this. It was such an old matter that ruined a powerhouse who should have been famous on the continent a long time ago.
“Why did the Frost Dragon Kyurem start fighting with you the moment he came? Or is it a fight to the death? Is It related to the dead pseudodragon?”
Olivia was puzzled.
“Smart. That pseudodragon is Kyurem’s only son. Although it’s not a giant dragon, for a race that is hard to reproduce offspring, a pseudodragon with great potential will be accepted as a dragon.”
Wayne had investigated this matter very carefully after he was injured, but every time he found the most critical point, it would be destroyed by someone. He even almost died several times. In the end, he only gave up after being persuaded by Dorje, the two of them returned to Rock City to live in seclusion.
After Wayne’s explanation, Olivia finally understood his past story. The story of Wayne in front of her was simply the model of the male lead in the book.
Olivia’s emotions were affected by his story, and her face was slightly flushed with excitement.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Wayne. Since the ghouls have revealed their whereabouts on the continent again, I will definitely help you find out the truth!”
“Leave the information about the ghouls to me, I’ll help you find them!”
Olivia patted her flat chest and promised.
Wayne stared at her hand that was patting her chest. He was slightly stunned and muttered, “It’s really flat. It’s too different from Orina’s...”
The originally serious atmosphere was completely destroyed by this sentence. When Wayne came back to his senses, he could already clearly see Olivia glared at him angrily.
“That, that, I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m used to seeing the big ones. When I see a different one, I couldn’t use to it.
“Don’t take my words to heart, even the small ones are good... Don’t you think so...”
Wayne’s explanation with a dry smile was no different from adding fuel to the fire. Olivia’s expression did not soften at all.
“B*stard uncle, you must be the one who polluted Alan’s mind! You can investigate the ghouls on your own!”
After saying that, Olivia turned around and left angrily, no longer paying attention to Wayne who was dumbstruck behind her.
