Chapter 62: Dororo's Tragic Fate Today at the Third Watch
There will be three updates today!
Todor felt that he must have offended the almighty God or was cursed...
I won't... Let me think about it, apart from cheating and deceiving others, owing money without paying back, being lustful and greedy, I don't seem to have any other major wrongdoing.
Uh... apart from when studying magic in church, during daily morning and evening prayers, I often dozed off...
Even so, such a tragic fate should not befall Lord Doro.
"Oh, divine! I am a magician! The most noble profession on the continent, a magician!!"
Although he had previously drifted to the wilderness of Nohiro due to debt evasion, since being redeemed by that noble and beautiful lord from the clutches of that vicious little swindler last time, Dororo once thought his miserable fate would end there.
He knew Adeline's noble status! As a low-ranking first-class magician, he could follow the young master and at least secure a long-term meal ticket, so he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink in the future.
Unfortunately, Duo Duo's abacus of good fortune was never realized.
Poor Bug didn't mean to let Dororo follow her, in fact Poor Bug knew that after she went back, her fate was an unknown number, how could she let Dororo follow her? Moreover, when she took Dororo away at that time, she just simply wanted to avoid letting this guy reveal her true identity to Tsuchinoko.
And took away Doro, on the way, the poor worm forced the magician to use magic to make a poisonous oath, a lowly but magical attribute contract oath, enough to shut this guy's mouth tightly.
So when they returned to Ye Huo Town, Kui Chong let Duoduo go and allowed him to fend for himself.
Of course, the poor bug didn't treat the magician badly, after all, they had been through thick and thin together. Before leaving, the poor bug let Chip Knight give him a sum of money that was not too much, but 100 gold coins were enough for the magician to spend for a long time.
And what's more, the poor bug still naively thought that this was a good deed after all, since it had allowed the magician to regain his freedom...
But the poor worm was wrong!
Someone like Simudoro, without any self-defense skills, his magic is too weak. In a place like Wildfire Town where thugs roam the streets, it's no doubt throwing a fat sheep into a pack of wolves.
What's even more unfortunate is that this fat sheep also had a fortune of one hundred gold coins on it!
Then, Duoduo was miserable!
What infuriated the magician most was that he encountered the same gang of thugs who had robbed him last time, and it was these guys who had stripped him naked and thrown him out of the city gate.
The result was unexpected, and this fat sheep came again, bringing a windfall!
The rascals laughed happily and pocketed the unexpected gain, while the poor magician was once again stripped of his clothes and thrown into a corner of the city wall - out of kindness, this time the rascal left the magician's underwear.
The poor insect probably didn't think that its good intentions would instead bring such a tragic fate to the magician.
If... if Ye Huo Town hadn't been occupied by the military, Duoduo Luo could still sell himself once more, selling himself to some merchant group as a servant. With his ability to read and write, he would at least be considered an educated person, and could make a living.
It's a pity that Mudo and Shaya are the same, they encountered a group of strong and robust soldiers! What's even more pitiful is that poor magician doesn't have Shaya's powerful physique.
He also tried to run away, but after a few lashes, the magician came around.
He was taken into the civilian camp and honorably became a coolie, silently contributing to the Byzantine Empire's resistance against the invaders' war...
The gluttonous and lazy magician also became the most bullied guy in the labor camp, he was physically weak, always lagging behind in work, but eating no less than others, naturally being beaten by the soldiers every three days.
Of course, he also tried to explain his identity: a glorious and noble magician.
Unfortunately, his words were taken as nonsense. And when he tried to cast a spell, a dust-raising technique instead enraged the guarding soldiers.
"Damn it! How dare you throw sand at me!"
The magician ended up getting another good scolding.
Before meeting Shaya, the poor magician had been struggling in the labor camp for many days...
If we're talking about the tragic fate of mages on the mainland over the past thousand years, Mu Mu might be the most miserable one in history!
As a magician, it's come to this... If word gets out, all the magicians on the continent will be so ashamed they'll want to die - of course, before that, they'll definitely take action and kill Dororo, who brought shame to their group!

Duoduo sat on the ground, with a nose full of snot and tears in his eyes, telling Xia Ya about his miserable experience. Since they had interacted before, even Xia Ya couldn't help but feel some sympathy for this guy.
"Alright! I'll take this one!" He turned around and announced to the fat officer, "I want him as my attendant. When can I take him away?"
The fat officer looked at Duoduo with a gaze that was used to sizing up livestock, thinking that this guy was so skinny he didn't have much meat on him and keeping him in the labor camp would be a waste of food.
The corrupt official then revealed a flattering smile: "You can take it away at any time - as long as you are willing."
So...
After going around in circles, the magician fell into Shaya's clutches once again.
Having shed his former identity as a humble laborer, the magician's new persona is that of an attendant to a cavalryman.
Well, okay, being a follower is better than being a laborer at least.
But Xia Ya's one sentence shattered the magician's fantasy.
"This turtle smiled and announced: 'From now on, you are my SoSo again.'"
※※※
The only one who had doubts about this was Kevin, looking at the weak guy being taken away by Xia Ya, pitifully following behind the two of them. Kevin couldn't help but turn his head to size up this suspicious guy - no matter how he looked at him, he thought the guy's appearance was really shady, with a sly and cunning look in his eyes...
And from Kevin's professional point of view, this guy doesn't seem to be a qualified attendant who can handle the job. He looks somewhat cunning and not like someone who can endure hardship. Moreover, he is thin and weak, not suitable for physical labor, you know, the cavalry equipment is very heavy! Can this guy move it?
"How did you end up with this guy?" Kevin sighed.
"An old acquaintance, it's a pity he's in such a miserable state at the labor camp." Xia Ya replied casually.
"Oh? What did he used to do? Does he have any skills?"
Xia Ya thought for a moment: "Hmm, a magician."
(The magician behind him was in tears.)
"What's the point of having a conjurer? He doesn't seem to be much good for anything. And... this guy seems kind of shifty." Kevin expressed his uneasy concern, after all, an attendant was still important for cavalrymen.
Xia Ya smiled with a sly mouth, and his eyes flashed with strange light as he answered Kevin's question.
"Don't worry, he'll listen... My adoptive father taught me a phrase: A filial son is born under the rod! Hehe..."
(The magician spat blood... God, pray for me, bless me...)
