Chapter 576 A reply after seven years
Seven years have passed since Roger Wayne left this letter.
Louise knew that Roger Wayne was no longer in the boarding school, but she could not find any other way to contact him, so she had to send the reply to the boarding school.
She also specially noted on the envelope that if the postman could not find Roger Wayne in the school, she would give this letter to the principal and ask him to forward it on her behalf. She would be very grateful.
In order to avoid exposing her true identity, Louise also used the skills of a thief to forge her handwriting and signature, and lied that she bought the box at the flea market, and left her mailing address at the church in the city.
Parish priest George Gallup is her uncle and her only living relative.
It was under the guidance of her uncle that Louise inherited the profession of "Templar Raiders", which combines the characteristics of priests and thieves.
Two years ago, Louise's parents traveled to the New World on a cruise ship. During the voyage, they were attacked by the "Raging Pirates". The ship was sunk by the black dragon Solomon Raging, and both parents died.
Just one year later, her grandmother also died of illness.
Louise's uncle George Gallup is the only living offspring of her grandmother.
As a parish priest with a formal position in the Holy See and a real "monk", Father Gallup is different from "house nuns" like Louise. According to church law, he cannot inherit secular property.
Since her uncle had no children, he gave the inheritance left by his mother, including this mansion and an annual fixed income of 6,000 gold duggas (the currency unit of the Holy Ashan Empire), to Louise Quinn, the granddaughter whom the old man loved most during his lifetime.
Louise came to Binhai City to receive her grandmother's inheritance and decided to settle down in this house, which was also convenient for visiting her uncle.
After sending the reply letter to Roger Wayne, Louise still couldn't let go of her worries.
Perhaps because her relatives passed away one after another, she had no brothers, sisters, or friends to accompany her, so she felt particularly lonely, so she could especially understand the mood of the boy who was forced to move seven years ago.
Although she had never met him, Louise didn't even know whether Roger Wayne was still alive, but she had a strong desire in her heart to meet him and chat with him, maybe the two of them could become friends who could talk.
However, she had to face reality.
The chance of this reply letter, which was seven years late, finally reaching Roger Wayne was very slim.
What should I do if the postman and the principal of the boarding school can't find Roger Wayne's whereabouts?
Louise couldn't think of any good way for the time being.
Sighing, she could only pray silently for a miracle to happen.
...
After the cutscene ended, Jiang Feng received a system prompt and learned that he had reached the plot milestone of this chapter, and the star plate energy +1.
Louise Quinn is promoted to a level 2 "Templar".
HP+7, 1 new attribute added to perception.
Similar to thieves, level 2 "Templar" automatically masters "Dexterity".
In addition, Jiang Feng can also choose a 0-ring divine spell.
"Which one should I choose, 'Holy Fire' or 'Water Creation'?"
Jiang Feng asked her boyfriend.
"If it were me, since I already have a pistol and have no shortage of long-range attack methods for the time being, I would choose 'Water Creation'."
Gao Fei said carefully.
"Then choose 'Water Creation'!"
Jiang Feng readily accepted his suggestion.
There is no reward profession in the prologue.
The two candidate reward feats are both from the ghost dog Bernie, namely "Improved Initiative" and "Sentinel".
Jiang Feng has no interest in "Improved Initiative" and chooses "Sentinel" which is more commensurate with his professional characteristics without hesitation.
...
Sentinel: The character's "Perception Check" has an advantage, which is counted as a double proficiency modifier, and "Magic Alarm" is added to the spell list. If the character does not have a magic pool, the "Magic Alert" can be used three times a day.
…
Just as Jiang Feng selected the "Bonus Expertise", the game screen flashed and the scene switched to an old office in a boarding school.
"Huh? Why is there a follow-up plot... Oh, right! I almost forgot that this is a two-player module!" Jiang Feng patted his forehead, "I thought the prologue was over!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the turn of the adult male protagonist to appear next."
Gao Fei rubbed his hands, unable to bear the excitement.
After being a spectator for a long time, it was finally his turn.
…
An old man with white hair, sitting behind his desk, was busy correcting test papers.
At this time, a boy in school uniform knocked on the door and came in with a letter in his hand.
"Mr. Principal, the postman just delivered a letter, saying it was for Roger Wayne."
"Rog Wayne?" The principal pushed his reading glasses and looked confused, "There is no one with this name in our school."
"Oh, the postman also said that if he couldn't find this person, he would ask you or other senior teachers in the school whether there was a boy named Roger Wayne enrolled seven years ago."
"Seven years ago? It's been so long, who can remember it!"
The principal stood up and complained, turned around and walked to the filing cabinet, and found the enrollment list seven years ago.
"Let me see... Roger Wayne, I found it, there really is such a person!"
The principal nodded with satisfaction, and found Roger's enrollment file and graduation transcript according to the index on the enrollment list.
"So it's this kid, I remember him." The old principal nodded, a smile on his lips, "This kid is very polite and studies hard."
"Sounds like a well-educated person." The boy said.
"Yes, Roger was born in a wealthy family, but unfortunately his father went bankrupt and never recovered from the blow. He died of excessive drinking when he was twelve years old. Within two years, his mother also died."
"I guess he must have been bullied a lot in school."
"It was like this at the beginning. When Roger first came to school, he still had the spoiled attitude of a rich young master. The poor children couldn't stand his accent and often bullied him."
"Rogge was very strong and quickly adapted to the new environment. This is a good thing. As for the not-so-good changes, he learned bad things from those kids from the slums, became more and more naughty, and often got involved in fights and other troubles."
The old principal recalled silently, and it took a long time before he spoke again.
"In school, Roger Wayne is best friends with Martin Page, the son of a hunter."
"Three years ago, Roger and Martin graduated from this school. They joined the army together and were stationed in Harrenhal. They also participated in the war against the invasion of the Far East Army."
"Oh! God! These two guys are so unlucky!" The boy couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Not too unlucky, at least they lived to the end of the war. Just this spring, they each received a pitiful retirement allowance and returned to the coastal city to make a living." The principal said sympathetically.
