Chapter 58 Casual Reflections on the "Martha Chapter"
Reading Settings
Although it may seem a bit sudden, let's talk about Martha, the story of this elven girl.
Lilimarta, 23 years old, was born into an ordinary family in the Elf army.
The father was a low-ranking warrior, and the mother was a low-level mage.
Like many of her people, she, who should have been ordinary, longed for the world beyond the forest.
When she was 10 years old, she secretly ran away from the forest just to see the world that only existed in books.
Having a pair of distinctive long ears was a symbol of the Elven race and also became a target for slave owners to identify them.
Even though he was covered up by a robe, in this human city, he naturally became a suspicious figure.
They could not escape the sharp eyes of the slave owners.
On his very first day in the city, he was captured by slave owners and sold to so-called nobles.
These nobles had an addictive fascination with elves, especially women, who became tools for them to vent their lust.
Once it breaks, it will be cruelly discarded.
Therefore, slaves of the Elven race were sold very quickly and at a high price.
Driven by absolute self-interest, these slave owners would use any means necessary to capture elves, even children like Martha.
Who would have thought that the scary stories adults tell to deceive children are actually the realities of life?
Elven slaves differed from other slaves because they were sold to nobles for their amusement.
Therefore, before they are sold, they are treated to good food and drink, unlike other slaves who are starved for three days after a single meal, and who are beaten for the slightest complaint.
Naïve Marta, at that time, still thought humans were so gentle, until she was sold to a noble family.
The nobleman roughly tore off her clothes and violated her body, showing no humanity whatsoever because she was a child.
It was Felicia who saved her. At that time, she was still an adventurer and had become a king-level mage at a young age.
Her team was carrying out a commission in the city, and the commission was initiated by a nobleman.
Seglade, the squad leader, was impulsive and naturally could not tolerate such despicable behavior from the nobles.
After all, Marta was just a child.
Although the nobles were the clients.
He still couldn't suppress his displeasure.
After knocking the nobleman unconscious, they immediately fled the city with Marta.
That's why.
The S-class squad "Lord of the Harem" has been disbanded.
After the squad is disbanded, the nobles will not be able to find any information about any individual members.
After much persistent pursuit, Seg formally proposed to Felicia.
Marta was Felita's first apprentice.
After witnessing how powerful magic was, he formally sought guidance from Felita, even though he was an elf with little magical power.
Martha was not a genius when it came to magic.
At the beginning, it took a whole year just to learn the most basic water magic.
To cover the expenses of the group, Felicia officially became a teacher, teaching introductory magic courses in town.
Martha isn't only skilled in water magic; all other types of magic are more suitable for her.
This type of magic does not consume too much magic power.
She was so engrossed in magic that she neglected to eat or sleep. Her initial reason for learning it was to kill those slave owners.
It was under Felicia's guidance that the idea of fighting to protect the weak came about.
If you have zero talent, then rely on ten points of hard work.
Through continuous learning, he finally became a Water King-level mage.
Felita and Seglade's wedding took place on this day.
After saying goodbye to Felita, I arrived in the city of Burjeni and became an adventurer.
During a commission, he met Pro and Leah.
The three officially formed a team, named:
"The Glory of Knights"
The letter was sent by SEG:
Dear Marta, it's been a long time. I hope you are doing well.
I am Seglade, and I send my greetings on behalf of my wife, Felita. We have a son, Leon, who is the fruit of our love.
Well... it's a long story. I heard you became an adventurer in the city of Buryni. Excuse me for asking, but Leon has an unbreakable bond with his family. If things continue like this, I'm afraid he'll have a hard time becoming a man who can stand on his own.
Although Leon is very talented in magic and is already a king-level mage, he can also use spells without chanting.
He told me he wanted to go to school and work to earn money. You know I'm terrible at socializing, so for a moment I didn't know what kind of job to find for Leon. I can only ask you to help me join your team and become an adventurer.
Please take good care of him, Marta. Of course, please don't help him unless necessary. I want him to grow through this experience.
After receiving the letter, I would like to trouble you to come in person.
Seglade...
"Pro, I'm going on a long trip!"
"Huh? Where to?"
Marta handed the letter to Pro, but Lydia snatched it away first.
"Ha... He's actually going to pick up a brat himself? Is Segmented out of his mind?!"
With her little mouth pouting, Leah was quite unconvinced.
The "Lord of the Harem" squad.
And Seglade and Felita.
She had, of course, heard of it.
but.
Most of them were mentioned by Marta.
"Lia! Watch your tone! Seg and the others are your seniors!"
"Hmph! A second-rate swordsman, who would consider him a senior..."
“Lia…he is my master…so I have to go.”
As the saying goes, one cannot disobey one's master's orders. Marta knew she had to go this time, especially since it wasn't a particularly difficult task.
"Take me with you, Martha!"
Lia, who was holding Marta tightly and unwilling to let go, said coquettishly.
"Can't!"
"Ah... Hmph..."
"In that case, be careful!"
"OK!"
And so, Marta returned to that place filled with memories.
