Chapter 7: The sorrow of the great swordsman

"Is this what you packed?" Sol's expression was a little dull.

"Yes." An Fei smiled shyly. The things he packed up were indeed too simple, including two pieces of white washed clothes, a few packages of dried fish, and a stick made of tree branches. Any wooden stick with magical fluctuations, but the shape of the stick looks like a magic wand. There is actually a crab lying on An Fei's shoulder, blowing bubbles leisurely.

"As a great magician, Yagor wouldn't have such a small collection, right?" Sol asked, dumbfounded.

"That's the teacher's collection, not mine." An Fei replied.

"But... Yagor has passed away forever. You are his only student. I think you are qualified to get Yagor's collection."

"No, it's different!" An Fei replied stubbornly: "The teacher is alone on a desert island, so let those collections accompany the teacher to sleep. I believe that as long as I am willing to endure hardship, my achievements in the future will not be as good as the teacher." under."

rare! It’s rare! What a pure piece of beautiful jade! Sol sighed from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't know what this young man's qualifications were, in terms of his character, he could be said to be one of the best in a hundred, no! It’s one of a kind! The lucky Yagor actually accepted such a student before his death, which made Thor extremely envious.

"But have you ever thought about it? Yagor has passed away, and the magic circle on the desert island has stopped functioning. If anyone else discovers that desert island, do you think they will leave all the collections behind like you? Huh?" Ernest said calmly.

"Ah..." An Fei was stunned and looked annoyed: "Then... what should we do? What should we do?"

"Don't worry, I didn't bring any magic crystals with me this time. When I go back, I will bring some magic crystals with me and set up a magic circle so that no one will disturb Yagor's sleep." Sol said with a smile. .

"Thank you, Master Sol!" An Fei said sincerely.

"Child, you don't have to be too polite." Saul's eyes fell on the crab on An Fei's shoulder: "Is this your demon... pet?" Thor originally thought that the crab was An Fei's demon beast, but he found out after scanning it. , that crab didn’t have a trace of magic fluctuation, it was just an ordinary crab.

"Yes, its name is Liuliu. Liuliu has been with me these past few years on the desert island. I couldn't bear to leave it on the deserted island." An Fei said with a smile.

"Yager has... how many years have you been on the desert island?" Thor originally wanted to ask how many years Yagor had been dead, but later he was afraid of making An Fei sad, so he changed the question.

"Well..." An Fei thought seriously: "It's been almost three years."

"Three years..." Thor sighed. For ordinary teenagers, these three years are the most precious stage of life. Whether it is learning magic, sword skills, or learning a craft, how big can he be in the future? Development depends on what kind of foundation has been laid in the past few years, and Anfei has obviously wasted the most precious time!

"Okay, An Fei, go and rest. Your room is on the second floor below. Someone will show you the way after you go down." Ernest continued.

"Well, I understand." An Fei smiled: "Master Sol, Uncle Ernest, you should also rest early." After saying that, An Fei walked below the deck.

Ernest watched An Fei's back disappear below the deck, and suddenly said: "What a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"If I had met him a few years earlier, I would have tried every means to accept him as my student." Ernest shook his head: "Now...if he starts practicing sword skills now, his future achievements will be extremely limited."

"Don't forget, he is a magic apprentice and Yagor's student!" In fact, he also had the idea of accepting An Fei as his student, but he was worried that An Fei had become Yagor's student, and An Fei was very interested in Yagor. He is also very loyal. If he explains things clearly, he is afraid of being politely declined by An Fei, which will make him lose face. After all, he is a great magician. Which young man in the Pan-Continent doesn't want to be his student? So Saul suppressed his thoughts for the time being. When he heard Ernest's words, Saul seemed a little unhappy.

"What? Do you also want to accept him as a student?" Ernest smiled.

"This child's character is indeed rare." Saul hesitated: "The problem is, he and Yagor..."

"He is just Yagor's experiment. There is no teacher-student relationship between the two of them. An Fei is still young and doesn't know how dangerous life is. When he grows up, think about how close he was. If he becomes an experiment, he won't miss Yagor much anymore." Ernest said: "After all, you want to recruit students, not find wives, is it necessary to care so much? Do you think it's okay? Just accept him as your student. If you think it won't work, then just let it go and leave it alone."

Sol smiled bitterly and said: "You can't say that..."

"Then what should I say?" Ernest curled his lips: "If you are afraid of losing face, I can ask you in a subtle way."

"Isn't it good?" Saul said hesitantly: "Anfei and we have only known each other for a day, can you trust us?" Ernest's words played into Saul's hands, and it was a good idea to let Ernest ask. , it's good to be successful, Sol has no shame if he doesn't succeed.

"Okay, if you say no, I won't ask, and it will save me the trouble."

"You kid..." Thor laughed angrily.

"Stop beating around the bush with me and tell me clearly. Do you want to accept An Fei as your student?"

"I think." Saul said honestly. After having been with Ernest for so many years, he knew Ernest's character very well. On the surface, Ernest was a stoic, strong, and well-behaved person. He was a very indifferent person. In fact, Ernest had a very cunning and eccentric personality. He often made some old friends laugh and cry. In order to accept a good student, it was not a bad idea to bow his head in front of Ernest.

"Isn't this the end?" Ernest showed a satisfied smile: "Saul, I find that the older you get, the more worries you have and the less courage you have. It's just to deal with Yagor. You have to force me thousands of miles away. You came all the way to be a helper, are you so afraid of Yagor?"

"I'm not afraid of Yagor, and Yagor isn't afraid of me, but we don't want to collide tit for tat." Thor sighed: "There are too many unexpected factors in the duel between magicians, a subtle and unpredictable The change is enough to make the balance irreversibly tilt. I am not single and carefree like you, I..." Saul said and quickly closed his mouth. Only then did he realize that he had inadvertently mentioned Ernest's pain point.

"Then you asked me to be your helper?" Ernest smiled faintly: "Does this violate the principles of fairness and justice?"

"I'm not a knight, and I never want to be a knight." Thor's smile was a little cold: "Ernest, you keep saying that An Fei doesn't know that life is dangerous, but what about you? Do you still believe in the principles of fairness and justice? You Have you forgotten what happened to you before? Yagor is withdrawn and likes to be alone. There is no helper to find, otherwise he would have found someone to deal with me! "

Ernest was speechless. After he became a great swordsman, in order to find a breakthrough, he repeatedly challenged the other great swordsmen. As a result, he fell into a trap once and was besieged by several people. Two of them were the ones he had defeated. The great swordsman, although he narrowly escaped with his life that time, he was injured for two years, and all five of his students died in the battle on Mount Torebits. What made Ernest feel even more depressed was that the other party was well prepared and spread rumors after the war, saying that Ernest was not a great swordsman in vain and even smeared poison on the sword to plot against Jack. Luofik and several other great swordsmen who were watching the battle took action together to save Jerofic, and Jerofic was his scheduled opponent in that battle.

Of course, Jerofik was indeed wounded by the sword, and the wound was indeed poisonous. The two sides argued with each other for their own reasons, but the strength that several great swordsmen could mobilize when combined was far more powerful than Ou's. Nestor, Ernest lost the argument, and lost miserably. In the end, he became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat, and became a ridiculed coward!

From then on, Ernest was no longer a pure swordsman, and his perception of life became much richer.

For a strong person who has reached the pinnacle of life, sometimes reputation is more important than life, so Jerofic would rather risk cutting himself with a poisonous sword than avoid a fair duel with Ernest. Of course, Jerofik The price Fick paid was also heavy. With such a knot in his heart, he would never have the possibility of a breakthrough in his life!

Seeing the loneliness on Ernest's face, Saul knew that his words were a bit harsh. He slowed down and changed the subject: "Ernest, I found... you are very enthusiastic about An Fei. Why?"

"I see my former shadow in him, and I want to find a strong and safe support for him." Ernest said lightly.

"You can accept him as your student. Let's have a fair competition and see who can gain his favor first." Saul said jokingly.

"I can't. I have countless enemies. And you are not only the court master, but also the dean of the magic academy. You have power and status. Letting him follow you is the best choice."

"Are you...sarcastic on me?" Thor smiled bitterly again.

"No, I'm just stating a fact."

At the same time, 'good boy' An Fei was sitting on his bed, playing with the small fireball in his hand out of boredom.

A person is good at hiding his true nature and facing the world with an adaptable attitude. This is a good thing and a sad good thing! Because the masks are changed back and forth, in the end it is possible to forget which mask is yours and which mask is borrowed. An Fei is like this. Since he became an assassin, he has forgotten his true nature and can always adapt to changes. One day he plays the role of a silly young man, tomorrow he plays the role of a calm and accomplished winner, and the day after tomorrow he becomes a scumbag and explosive. Hu, in the end, he forgot what he is!

Fortunately, An Fei will never violate the established principles. No matter how big the temptation is, no matter how many interests there are, he will never kill those who don't deserve to die! Principles are An Fei's guiding light in his confused life, and it is precisely because of this that he can still maintain a glimmer of kindness even when his hands are covered in blood.

An Fei is deceiving Sol and Ernest, but this is not malicious deception, he just wants to protect himself. Although the contact time is not long, Anfei has judged from various signs that Sol and Ernest are both good people. When talking about the collection left by Yagor, there is no trace of greed in the eyes of the two people, which is commendable. of! And from the eyes of Sol and Ernest, Anfei understood the concern, unless...the other party was better at acting than himself, but from another perspective, he was just a penniless fool with no use value. Boy, there is no need for the other party to act with him, so An Fei trusts his own judgment.

Do you want to continue to win the other person's favor? After all, you can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree? Or should we part ways and go our separate ways when we reach the shore? An Fei is a little hesitant. From now on, he already owes Sol and Ernest some affection, but An Fei is not used to owing others things and always has to repay something. The problem is... he is still naive A simple mask, how can I help the other person in this situation

As An Fei breathes, the flame burning in his hand sometimes shrinks like a rotating ball, and sometimes expands like a blooming lotus. There has never been a magic apprentice in the world who can practice small fireballs for more than a few years. Fire, earth, water , electric system, space system, dark system, undead system, etc. There are countless kinds of powerful and gorgeous magic waiting for them to practice. Why waste energy on the lowest level magic? People like An Fei are unique.

In fact, An Fei only learned magic with the attitude of doing as the Romans do. He didn't originally want to waste too much energy on magic. In comparison, he believed that his breath-holding and breath-breathing techniques could significantly adjust the body's fundamentals. Yes, deliberately manipulating the fire element is just a game when you are bored. An Fei believes that his real ability to save his life has nothing to do with magic.
