Chapter 1742: Growing Up



"My back" he thought to himself as he straighten his posture. He laughs and then he goes back to the mud house. He waves his hand and the wooden plow flew back to its place

He sat beneath the thatched roof. The thatched roof provided a cool refuge from the sun increasing heat

"This sun is really hot" but then he shakes his head and chuckles a bit

he remembers when this place was first established. The temperature of the sun is even hotter than this. It is not until the Illusionist Archmage and those other bigshots heard the complain that they modify the heat of the sun.

That alone took two years.

"I am quite proud of myself that I built this house with my own tow hands" he mutters as he sat down on the wooden veranda and look at the distance.

This mud house, with its sloping thatched roof, provided a cool refuge from the sun's increasing heat.

Its walls, made from a blend of clay, sand, and straw, were thick and sturdy, offering insulation from both the summer's scorching heat and the winter's biting cold.

Small windows, framed by wooden shutters, dotted the structure, allowing just enough light to filter through while keeping the harsh elements at bay.

He had been in this place for five seasons. He experience winter, summer, spring and fall and each year that passes he learns something

Then a woman voice echoes out

"Come in now"

"Wait a moment. Let me feel the wind breeze first" the woman chuckles and the young man only smiles.

"It seems she also has been familiar with this place" he thought to himself. This young man close his eyes and let the wind blows his hair and le the cold wind refreshes his body that was battered by the sun heat

Then he got up and goes inside the mud house. Even though it is a mud house, the air is cool and still. The either floor is smooth and firm.

The walls, adorned with simple decorations and shelves carved into the mud

A clay stove in one corner promised warmth and the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals.

The young man paused a moment to wipe the sweat from his brow. The woman already noticed the young man and he noticed the sweat

"Was it really necessary to go this far?"

The young man look at the woman, and he simply answered

"I had no choice"

The woman scoffed and spoke

"Like I am going to believe that"

The young man only chuckles. He sat down on the ground and look at the orange juice

"It is quite impressive. Where did you find orange to make juices" the young man paused for a second before he thought of something

"Don't tell me you fly out of the barrier and goes to the Outside?"

"No. There is a villages a few ten thousand kilometers from here. There is a nearby city near that village. It has been developing quite well and there is many industries there. I just bought

it from there" The young man hearing this nodded. Then he took a sip of the orange juice and the expression of his face is enough to show that he is enjoying itn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Not many people knows Azief past.

The Fall destroyed the old lives of people and it also destroyed their past.

Some people thought of the Fall as a disaster and a catastrophe but for some people, the Fall

is actually a new life.

It is for Katarina, Boris and even for Azief.

But there is some memories of the old world that still stuck on their minds. And the stronger they are, the stronger these memories became.,

And for Azief he remembers his father. He might not like his mother, but he at least respected

his father.

His father lives in an era very different from him. Was it an excuse? Or was that the reality? Sometimes, Azief himself doesn't know.

"I always wanted to learn how to build house. But at the same time, I feel that it would be too

hard for me"

"Why?"

And Azief smiles bitterly.

"When you have no hope for the future, when you don't really want to live anymore, those things that people care about....is not really something I care about"

"I found no hope. No excitement. No...nothing. A routine life, a worthless life" Katarina did not know what to said at this time. She is not someone who offers encouraging words and coming from her, she herself would not be able to convince herself

The reason is simply because her life is also like Azief in some way.

Though she has hope. But maybe hope is the cruelest thing of it all.

"I have no hope because having hope makes me even more in pain. But losing hope, means you lose everything. Everything is just for the sake of breathing one more second. I was a dead man walking. And the Fall, it changes everything. I have never enjoyed and feel life as vigorously and as lively. The Fall.... changes me. And I want to live. A new world. A new life. A new everything. I have never felt much more alive than when I am dancing the line between

death and life"

Azief laugh a bit and even though he wears a farmer attire and he looks like a young famer that laugh coming out from his mouth is full of energy and that spirit of a strong man could

not be concealed

It is the laugh of a strong man, of a man with great spirit and confidence.

"Now I achieved great strength, achieved glory and fame, and all I want to do is to farm and live-in peace in the middle of nowhere. When I am weak, I seek fortune, fame and strength. All other ting could be abandoned, but when I am strong, I seek sincerity that I treat like dung before" And Azief laughed.

Even though Azief behavior did not reach this kind of extreme, Azief recognize that there are

things that he had done in the past that he regrets.

And regrets fuels a person.

His mindset and view of the world also changes as he got stronger and as he got more

experience with stuff.
