Vivian could clearly feel that her life was coming to an end.
This was a feeling of weakness from the soul. Along with this feeling, her body was visibly aging day by day. Vivian could already smell her own death.
Maybe in less than a year, she would die …
With a squeak, the door was pushed open. The children of the orphanage had come back from the Knight Teaching Academy. There were 37 children of different ages. Four of them were already 16 years old. Today would be their last day in the orphanage after graduating from Knight Teaching Academy.
Smelling the fragrance of food, the children swarmed over like starving ghosts.
"Grandma Vivian, what are we eating today? It smells so good!"
"Grandma Vivian, Brother Muyi has received a private audience from the city lord!"
The children who were still growing surrounded Vivian, and they looked at the benevolent old lady as she chatted with one another.
All these years, ever since Grimm opened this public orphanage, Vivian had been living here to accompany these children. She witnessed the growth of these children day by day, and felt herself growing old day by day.
Perhaps this was to make up for a trace of regret in her heart?
Before Vivian became a wizard apprentice, she did not encounter too many obstacles and setbacks. After arriving at the Black Isotta Academy safely, she completed the invention of the Eternally Projecting Crystal Ball with her outstanding wisdom. Norris saw the shadow of Grimm and took her in as a disciple.
In her heart, there was a persistence and dedication to the path of wizard. Vivian had never been in a real relationship. She had never experienced real love because there was one point in the teachings of thousands of wizards, and that was the mistake of a wizard apprentice's love.
Especially when Norris had secretly told her about the mistake of Grimm's love during his wizard apprentice period …
Once one of them became an official wizard and the other was still a wizard apprentice, the pain of separation between lovers would magnify the psychological growth of an official wizard by a hundred times, a thousand times!
Between a wizard and a wizard apprentice, there was a qualitative change in life, like a summer insect that appeared briefly in people's eyes.
Because of this, Vivian refused all the good things that could have happened in the past and insisted on the lonely path of a wizard, step by step.
Now, Vivian's eyes were wet.
No pain meant no joy. Because he was afraid of the pain of a qualitative change in his life, he rejected the beautiful feeling. However, he discovered that in the end, he didn't complete the so-called qualitative change in his life at all. When he silently looked back, he discovered that he didn't even leave behind too many memories in his life's journey.
For his entire life, he had been following the footprints of his predecessors. He had never lived a life that belonged to him. He would forever be someone else's memory!
If I could have another chance at life … how good would that be!
"Grandma Vivian, what's wrong?"
Mu Yi, who was also in a state of shock, noticed Vivian's abnormality and asked in confusion. He was holding the food that Vivian had personally prepared for him.
After today's knight assessment, it meant that Muyi had come of age.
According to the rules of the orphanage, this meant that Muyi had to leave.
Waking up from her daze, Vivian shook her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing. It's just that I tend to get distracted as I get older. Hehe, my little genius, how was today's examination? I heard that the City Lord has met with you alone? "
"Yes."
Mu Yi nodded and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.
"What's wrong? You can't bear to leave here? Or is the City Lord not paying enough attention to you, a Legendary Knight? "
Vivian scooped a big spoonful of food into Muyi's bowl. Over the years, Vivian had watched this little guy grow from a lonely orphan after the death of his parents to a Legendary Knight who was now the center of attention.
Every child in the orphanage was like Vivian's own child.
"Eat more. It'll be difficult for you to come in and eat my cooking in the future."
Vivian said with a smile.
After Muyi finished the food in his bowl in a few mouthfuls, he looked at the other three absent-minded Knight Graduates and sighed.
"I really can't bear to leave here. Since City Lord Grimm came here, the changes in Moth Frog Town have been witnessed by everyone and he has gained everyone's respect. The City Lord has even opened this orphanage. This is something that has never happened in other cities. For us, this is our home. "
After a pause, Muyi continued, "The City Lord has given me two choices. Grandma Vivian, what do you think I should choose?"
Vivian looked at Muyi, "Oh? What are the two choices? "
"The first is to give me the position of a Knight Commander and the status of an aristocrat. There are no additional conditions. The second is to let me be the City Lord's servant for forty years. After that, give me a chance to become powerful and truly understand the Sorcerers World. "
Muyi looked at Vivian with a burning gaze, hoping to get some hints from this grandmother who he respected and treated like a family member.
Vivian smiled and touched Muyi's hair.
"Child, you know that City Lord Grimm is an official Sorcerer and that I'm a Sorcerer-Apprentice, but do you know my relationship with City Lord Grimm? Do you know City Lord Grimm's achievements and status in the Sorcerers World? "
Muyi shook his head, confused.
Vivian's eyes were filled with kindness and gentleness as she said, "City Lord Grimm is a real genius Sorcerer. He is my senior. We have the same mentor, but his achievements are something that I need to look up to for the rest of my life! He is a great Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who has received a Rank-1 Honor Badge. I'm not sure about his specific achievements, but metaphorically, I'm afraid that the number of foreign creatures that have died because of him is more than all the people in Moth Frog Town combined! "
After thinking about it, Vivian shook her head again and said, "No, it's a hundred times more than that!"
Muyi opened his mouth wide and was stunned speechless.
Vivian said while serving food to the other children, "Now do you know what to choose? Cherish this hard-won opportunity."
"Yes!"
Muyi nodded.
…
Naturally, Grimm knew that Vivian's life was coming to an end.
Pacing back and forth in the room, Grimm seemed to be hesitating, hesitating, and worrying about something.
Regarding Vivian's failure to advance to an official Sorcerer, perhaps a large part of the reason was Vivian's own problems. Vivian was also clear about this, but his "poisoning" of Vivian had made Grimm feel extremely guilty and remorseful.
Who could know that Vivian's failure to advance to an official Sorcerer was not because of his "poisoning"?
Suddenly, Grimm stopped and took a deep breath. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can only give it a try!"
On one hand, it was because of his guilt for his past mistakes. On the other hand, it was because of his love for this little junior sister. More importantly, Grimm did not want the tragedy of Lafite's life and death to repeat itself …
Grimm decided to give it a try according to the plan that he had secretly conceived over the years.
Perhaps, there really was a chance to help Vivian advance to an official Sorcerer?
The current Grimm was different from before, because Grimm knew a Celestial Sorcerer who could break the Balanced Law!
