It was a historic day for the Lodge, and a baby was born. His cries were accompanied by thunder and lightning. Loki Continent was the only continent in this world. There were at least ten different sized duchies on this continent, and about thirty other tribes.

There are six empires in dozens of duchies. They were all supported by their family, and their family wasn't the one that passed them down. It was a development that came from a peak warrior or mage. The family that lost these powerhouses would slowly decline. This was a law. No family can change it.

The Ethel family was a big family. It was one of the four great clans of the Milan Empire, one of the six empires. It had an ancient history, and was a family where generals were reborn. The glory of the family made it proud of its military prowess. At this moment, a boy was born in his subordinate clan. The vassal family was only a branch of a large family, and belonged to the external family. Every large clan had an enormous number of subordinate clans.

No celebrations, no congratulations. He was just a child adopted by a family guard. A baby from who knows where, a baby born of thunder and lightning. The simple couple had lived for four years, but they had no children.

God gave them a child." The guard was at least 30. I've been in this Ethel's vassal family for 20 years, and I haven't gotten much. However, it left behind a body full of scars. He was old, but he was only a guard, and today he was very open to sending him and his wife a child.

Lore was a guard, they called him. His wife, Maja, said to him: We have children, we finally have children. Father, please give him a name, what a lovely child!

Lore looked at his wife and thought for a moment. God gave him to the Loki Continent.

In the blink of an eye, Loki was two years old. At the age of two, the couple had another child. She was a cute girl. They felt that it was Loki who brought them good luck, so not only did they not pay attention to Loki, they instead treated him even more lovingly than they did their own children.

Instead of being naughty, Lodge, a 2-year-old, seems to be preoccupied with questions. You can think at the age of two? It was because he had the thoughts of an adult. Why did this happen? It was something Roche often thought about, too, and he felt that he shouldn't be a child. He had a past, but he had no image of it.

There was something constantly circulating in his meridians, something he did not understand. Why did you know the term? It was just that he felt that he should say that. He knew that no one in this world knew the meaning of these two words.

Five years later, Lodge was seven years old. Loki still hadn't found his past. But he felt that he was still very happy. His parents loved him a lot, so where was his sister? She was very cold to him. Because his sister was so cute, he always liked to play with her. But his sister didn't seem to like it.

"Bro, you're so annoying. Why are you always fighting with me over this?"

"That's what I ate, okay?" "His little sister looked like she was about to cry." "Whatever, I'll give it to you to eat."

"Wow ?"

"Stupid, I already said I'm giving it to you, what are you crying for?" "Looking at her like a doll, Loki felt a little regretful." "Bro, can I be your horse?" Can't I faint? Do you own a waterworks? " Waterworks? Why did he say that? Roche fell into another round of contemplation.

What Roche did not know was that bad luck was already coming his way. His father came to the council chamber in the courtyard. An old man was sitting in the middle of the hall. This person was the clan head of a vassal clan, and his side was nearly filled with the most powerful guards of a vassal clan.

The patriarch saw that everyone was here, so he stood up, "Everyone here is the strongest expert, this is the first time the entire clan is gathering experts, I believe everyone has guessed that this mission is very difficult, but there is no need to be nervous, our mission this time is to escort our patriarch's little princess back to the family (of course it is the Ethel family), this mission is very simple." But this was a quest that could not be failed. The little princess was ambushed here. We're the only ones left. It doesn't matter to us who ambushed the princess. Naturally, the Ethel Family will go investigate. Now, we will all go back and bring the equipment. I will personally lead you through this mission. "

There was no noise. They were all on missions and knew what they were supposed to do and what they were supposed to bring. They all prepared to go.

Maya, accustomed to her husband's work, helped him pack his things in silence. After cleaning up, there was still the old saying, "I'll be waiting for you at home." Lore hugged his wife and said, "I'll go see our child."

When Lore reached the courtyard, he realized that the courtyard wasn't actually his own, but rather shared by the guards. It was the only playground for the two children. His daughter was staring at his brother with a pout. If she could, she would probably eat his brother.

And Lodge? He turned the back of his head towards his sister, not because he was angry, but because he was thinking about something. Lore smiled. This situation was already very familiar to him. He whispered to Rocky, "Why are you teasing your sister again? Why didn't you let her? After all, you're an older brother. "

Loki turned his head and said, "She wants me to be a patient, and she says it's healing. I play very dirty, I want to go take a bath, but she won't let me go. "

"Dad, I don't want to play with my brother. You stay with me." Lore laughed and said, "Why do you want to throw sand on your father? "Daddy is going out. After a few days, I will return home. Don't mess around with your brother, you have to listen to your brother. He is much more sensible than you."

The little girl said unhappily, "Oh, got it. I went to look for my mother. " As he spoke, he skipped back into the house. Lore walked up to Loki and asked, "What would you like Father to bring back to you when Loki comes back? You always need something when you grow up. Don't say no every time. "

Roche jumped from the more than two meter rock to his father. This movement was very natural, as there wasn't much noise from the ground below. It was a gesture that made his father go from angry to surprised, and until now he was used to it not being a threat to his children.

He felt that if his child practiced martial arts, even if he didn't use any dou qi, he would still be an outstanding Thief. Dou Qi was a very rare existence on this continent. With it, one could obtain a certain amount of status. "Dad, I want to practice martial arts."

"Eight years old, right? Didn't I promise you? Father is sure that you have the talent to practice martial arts, Father believes in you. "How about this, I'll teach you when I get back."

After saying that, Lore took out his greatsword and handed it over to Loki. "I'll give it to you when you get back. It's my grandfather. Lots of famous battles for the Empire. Now, they were stopping the Beastmen's harassment in the Southern Wilderness.) A relic from the Northern and Southern Wars. Although it had been repaired many times, it was still not something that an ordinary noble family could possess. "It has the pride of our previous generation on it. You must protect it well when the time comes."

It was the fourth day since Lore had left, and the house was as bland as ever. Two people came into the courtyard today. They were a burly young man in his forties who was not very tall. He was the head guard, Rouse, and he was accompanied by a boy of fifteen or sixteen, his own child.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Luo Qi. As soon as he came out, a little girl was following behind him, holding his hand. Her mouth was raised higher than the sky, and she was obviously unhappy.

Loki came up to Rouse and said, "Uncle Rouse, are you looking for Mother? She's in the house. " Rouse nodded and went into his house without a word.

The youth beside him did not go in, but looked at Loki with excitement in his eyes. He didn't like him because he always thought of him as the object of his teasing. Just as his sister didn't like him.

The teenager said, "Luo Qi, your sister is so cute. Why are you always bullying her? How can a big brother be like this? "

Roche replied, "What does it have to do with you? "Little brat." Although Luo Qi had never practiced martial arts, he had a feeling that his punch would be able to beat this young man to the ground. But he wouldn't do that. He knew that to him, it was just that he didn't like being treated like a child, so he didn't have any ill intentions towards the youth.

Lauren was the boy's name, and he looked at the lovely little boy who was always saying what the adults said. He was not angry, on the contrary, he was very happy. He liked to see Lodge like that. He was one of a group of children in the family. He wanted to tease Rocky again.

At this moment, the sound of a teacup dropping to the floor came from inside the room. He turned to run into the house, turning too fast, forgetting that his sister was holding on to his sleeve, and then he turned to catch her before she hit the ground, picked her up, and ran into the house.

Lao Lan stopped walking into the house and looked at Loki's back. With such speed, how could a child have access to it? This speed was no less than that of an adult Thief. Lao Lan's mouth was wide open. In fact, he didn't notice any sound at all, whether it was when he turned around or when he was running.

This speed was even more abnormal than his. Brother Lodge (actually, Lodge had never admitted to addressing him as such) was not simple. He must be a very talented Thief.

Inside the house, Loki and his sister saw their mother's pale face, and Uncle Rouse's eyes were filled with tears.

Her sister had already gotten off her body, but she didn't seem to feel anything. She ran up to her mother and said, "Big brother won't play with me anymore. Rose is very unhappy." Loki came up to his mother and said, "Mother, what happened?"

Looking into his mother's empty eyes. Roche had a very ominous feeling. Then Rouse said, "Your father was a hero. With him, we almost failed." Although he didn't say what happened, it was enough for Loki. He knew that he had completely lost his father.

Loki clenched his fist and said, "Uncle, can you tell me what's going on?"

Rouse looked at Rocky in surprise. Was this a child? But he said, "Don't be sad, son. Your father did very well. He would definitely be proud of him for having such a sensible child. Our mission this time was to escort the little princess of the family back to the Ethel family, and we were ambushed on the way. Although we sent out a lot of experts, we didn't expect to meet a Golden Warrior, this is simply unbelievable. Our country only has 5 Gold Warriors. Clearly, they are not our country's warriors. But for us, we have no chance. We had to use our lives to buy time, to give the little princess time to escape. However, we cannot stop him. In front of absolute strength, we are helpless. As the strongest existence other than the six combat power experts, your father is responsible for leading the little princess to escape. Six battle qi experts surrounded me and the Patriarch, attacking the Golden Warrior to death. Facing the mockery of the Gold Warrior, we didn't give up. Very quickly, we were defeated. Perhaps his fear of the clan leader did not hurt us. At that time, we all thought that the mission had failed, but on the second day, we received the news that the little princess, supported by the clan leader, had returned to the clan. At the same time, your father lured the Golden Warrior away with a servant girl beside a princess, infuriating that Golden Warrior. He made your father disappear from this world, thoroughly. We don't know who a Golden Warrior is, but I believe in the family. He won't let your father's blood flow in vain. The clan leader is very grateful to your father. The reward for your clan has been sent over. As compensation, you can always live in this house. In the event of the death of the guardian, the family members must leave the house provided by the family, and the family will also provide compensation. This is the usual practice. Only the children of the nobility had the right to study, which was a gift to the commoners.

The image of his father's smiling face and the sight of him hugging him before he left continuously appeared in Luo Qi's mind. He wanted to leave, but couldn't bear to. He felt his own heart bleed.

The baby had no memory, but he clearly remembered when his father picked him up in the backyard, he was happy.

He shouted to heaven in his strong, rough voice, "Praise God, this is the child you gave me, I will protect him with my life, I have a child. "Haha ?" But Loki could not speak. He could only look at him and think: Who is this idiot?

He said to his father in his mind: Father, rest assured, I will take good care of my mother and sister. I'm the only man in the family right now, and as for revenge, he doesn't think about it. Perhaps he would, but he would not make it the driving force of life.

It was the hatred of the family, and his father's sacrifice was only a duty, and he had to do it. Lodge just resented the injustice of this society. He did not like his family, and the sacrifice of his father made him feel even more strongly about this. He was almost eight years old. He wanted to learn, he wanted knowledge and strength so that his family could live a good life.

A winter had passed, meaning a new year was coming. Lodge's family lived on Lodge's own chopping wood. His mother had not spoken for a long time, ever since that day until now. Even when she didn't sleep, she just sat there.

His father's pension was useless because he knew he was leaving the house soon, not giving it up. It was for this family that he had to work hard. Learning was the best shortcut. 8 years old is still a child (the world matures faster, 10 years into adolescence).

But he was no different from an adult now. Slashing down with an axe that only an adult could wield, he would spend one day to finish chopping down wood and wood. He would then cook, wash his clothes and pick his way up. His sister had transferred all her reliance on her parents to him.

Loki was lighting a fire in the kitchen, preparing to cook. The door opened.

Lois came in, having lost her parents, and made her mentally more mature than she was, at least in a much less childish way. Roche didn't like it. He still liked his childish sister.

Luo Si walked to Luo Qi's side with a nervous face and said to him, "Big brother, from what big brother Lao Lan said, you're leaving us, is that true?"

Loki did not look at his sister. He looked at the fire and said, "Yes, I am going to the family to study. You have to take good care of Mom. Aunt Lim (Rouse's wife) will help you, too. Papa's pension is enough for you all to spend for a few years.

Roche didn't even look at his sister. Her face was full of tears, but he knew they were there. He didn't dare to look. He was afraid. He was afraid that he really wouldn't be able to let it go. With his life, his father had a chance to make the family happy, and he could not give it up.

What he didn't know was that she could already feel the earth spinning. She, who had not uttered a single word, fainted just like that. Loki caught her in his arms, but she couldn't fall to the ground next to him.

Loki looked at his sister, whose face was pale. He felt his heart ache. He touched her little face, then kissed it again. He said to himself, "Sister, I can't let you live like this (she and her mother). I will let you lead a happy life, I can't be soft-hearted. Forgive your brother's helplessness! You'll understand me when you grow up. "
