Looking at Hannigan's confident eyes, Xia suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
Totally powerless!
If others say such big words, Xiaya will naturally dare to refute, even if it is a guy like Merlin or Aslan.
But if these arrogant words were said from the mouth of the person in front of him, then it would be different!
Because Xia Ya knows very well that this guy in front of him is already difficult to measure with common sense!
If he dares to boast that he is invincible, then in this world, I am afraid that there is really no one who can be his opponent!
Just because he's Saul Hannigan! The man standing on the top of the world!
After a long time, Xia Ya sighed and said with a wry smile: "Well, you are invincible in the world, you are a peerless powerhouse, you are the number one person in the world... You said you were going to defeat Saint Laurent Garros, I believe it! So when are you going to go to the holy city of Babylon?"
Hannigan smiled lightly, and suddenly squinted at Xia Ya: "Are you afraid of me? Hope I leave sooner?"
(I wish you went as far as possible, and never come back.) Xia murmured in her stomach.
But he still nodded honestly: "Yes, I am very jealous of you... I am afraid that no one in this world dares not to be jealous of you."
After a pause, Xia said with a wry smile: "You used to be God Emperor Odin, then you must be very clear about what I did before, I really don't understand, you summoned me here and just taught me casually. Forget it? I almost maimed your son by beating, and even killed a legion of your Odin Empire..."
"You are also Adeline's husband." Hannigan replied coldly.
"I don't believe that you are the kind of person who has kindness at heart. People like you don't put any family affection in your heart. If you really want to kill me, don't say that I am Adeline's husband, even if I am your son. , you can kill as well." Xia spit.
"Galin was seriously injured by you, but you fight fairly. He lost to you, but his skills are not as good as others. We Odins always pay attention to the glory of warriors. He can't beat you by himself. If you want to rely on me as a father. If you find a place back, then it will be the real shame. So if you want to be shamed, you can save him in the future and get it back from you in person after his strength increases greatly." Hannigan shook his head.
There was a sudden burst of joy in Xia Ya's heart.
Will you ask me for it in person in the future? Does that mean you won't kill me now
At least I'm safe now.
"As for the Chixue Army..." Hannigan's smile was a little playful: "Manninger is a Basak, not my own royal family. Although the Basak has always been very submissive to my tribe. Respectful, but the strong Odins are respected, I was very close to him before, and it was only a necessary means of being an emperor."
"You... I heard that you and him are like brothers." Xia Ya couldn't help but blurt out, but after saying this, he immediately understood that he was stupid!
Close as a brother? Please, look at this guy in front of you! For him, what kind of family relationship is the shackles that bind his mood, how could he really be as close as a brother to that Manninger? Even if it's a real brother, he doesn't care!
"As for Manninger's defeat, the defeat of the Chixue Army was also caused by you with one knife and one shot." Hannigan said lightly: "Besides, in order to ensure the strength of the royal family, it is also necessary to appropriately weaken other tribes. In recent years Come on, Manninger relies on my trust. The strength of the Basak clan has grown a little too fast. He even wants to interfere in the affairs of the royal family. Even if he does not die in Byzantium, after this war is over, I will not Let his Basak continue to sit on the throne."
This is so irresponsible!
Where does this sound like what an emperor said
If someone destroys a legion, the culprit is right in front of you, so just a single word
Xia Ya couldn't help widening her eyes and pointed at Hannigan: "You, you, you..."
It's a pity that "you" can't say a word for a long time.
"You don't understand at all." Hannigan said lightly: "I don't care about any legion or nobles. If I really want to dominate this continent, I won't abandon the throne. If I really want to destroy Byzantium, I will not be here alone today. As long as I personally lead the army and march south, even if you have several corps of the Central Army of the Byzantine Empire, even if you have all the troops, who can stop me?"
With these words, Xia Ya was speechless.
He knew very well that Hannigan really had this ability!
In the past, Merlin alone was able to block a naval fleet of the Byzantine Empire! At that time, Merlin was only in the realm of the strong.
Well, the current Hannigan's strength has reached an unimaginable level! Even the strong man in front of him can't stop his thunder strike! If you use this kind of unrivaled strength to put it in a war... I'm afraid that the Roderian cavalry, the Imperial Central Army, the Guards, if they come together, will not be able to stop this person in front of you!
Let’s put it directly and plainly: To dominate the world may be an extremely arduous and difficult great undertaking for the people of this world.
But for the master in front of him, it was as easy as a small game.
It was even a game that he couldn't get interested in at all.
The gap in realm is literally thousands of miles apart!
Just like a giant, watching several groups of ants under their feet fight each other, for the ants, it is a cruel killing, but for the giant, even a yawn is not interested in watching.
If the giant wants to participate, just step on it at will, and you can trample everything into powder.
So, Hannigan…
He simply...
not give a damn about!
※※※
"Then what are you looking for me for?" Xia Ya said here, a little guilty.
It seems that, as Garin's father, Hannigan has no interest in avenging his son.
As God-Emperor Odin, Hannigan also had no interest in avenging the loss of a regiment of his empire.
So what did he find himself to do
Is it really because of the "Odin tradition" that he meddled with his daughter for himself, came to fight with him, and defended the honor of the Odin family
If he dies in the hands of the other party for this ridiculous reason, then Xiaya is afraid that he will be really angry and die!
"You are going to marry my daughter, of course I want to see what you are like." Hannigan smiled lightly: "Although I don't care about family affection, I still have some curiosity."
Xia: "…"
"Of course, that's not the main reason. I want to see you, the main reason is that you are that guy's son, although not biological. But you are his son after all."
With that said, Hannigan pointed to the direction behind the valley - where the old drunkard's graveyard is located.
Xia was silent.
"Your father, was a...great man." Hannigan sighed.
"… "
great
It was really hard for Xia Ya to imagine that the word "great" could have anything to do with that lazy old alcoholic.
Yes, it's delicious and lazy. When this word is used for an old alcoholic, Xia Ya will not be embarrassed at all.
In fact, he was adopted by the old alcoholic. When he was young, he really depended on the old alcoholic to support him to grow up—but since Xia started to learn some hunting skills when he was ten years old, the old alcoholic was very simple He became a slack master, enjoying Xia Ya's service with peace of mind.
The only thing that the old alcoholic had to do in his career in the following years was: eat and sleep, wake up and drink, and continue to sleep after eating and drinking... He lived a happy and degenerate life like a pig!
And Xiaya's daily task is to hunt, chop wood, and then return to support the master in exchange for some meager rewards and food.
Oh, of course, the old drunk also taught Char Ya some "martial arts".
It is nothing more than the ability to chop wood. But the old alcoholic professor's method is also rough and simple!
If I teach, but I can't learn, I use a stick to "instruct" the young Xiaya directly.
In simple words, it is: the top master old alcoholic beats the underage child Xia Yaleiming.
Can such an old guy be crowned with a title like "great"
If the old guy is great, then Lao Tzu is a saint!
Xia Ya thought inwardly.
"You don't seem to have much respect for your adoptive father." Hannigan frowned, he could see the disapproval in Char's eyes.
Xia Ya sighed: "May he rest in peace in the spirit of heaven."
"You don't understand." Hannigan sneered, and then he frowned: "In today's world, there are only one and a half people who can be regarded as opponents in my eyes."
"One and a half?" Xia thought for a while: "Well, Saint Laurent Garros was able to draw a tie with you back then, she is naturally one. Who is the other half? Is it Merlin? Her strength and talent lie in other Among the powerhouses, she is the best, and she should be the other half."
"Merlin doesn't count." Hannigan smiled: "Although Merlin was outstanding, at least at that time, she didn't show much surprise to me. The other half of what I'm talking about is your adoptive father."
"He?" Xia Ya shook his head: "As far as I know, when he was about to die, he never became a 'strong man'. Although his strength should be considered good, but now that I think about it, it is the level of a top high-level warrior. Forget it. How can you be regarded as an opponent?"
Hannigan was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Because it was he who said to me 30 years ago, he said, 'Saul, if you really want to be the strongest, unless you Abandon the throne, don't be the God-Emperor Odin. The day you abandon the throne is the day you become the number one in the world.' In this case, he told me 30 years ago, but unfortunately, the me back then, Not long after he took over the throne, he was very ambitious and wanted to do a lot, but his words were regarded as nonsense. But these words, I have only gradually realized in recent years. What a foresight to say! To me, the throne is simply a shackle that binds me."
(The old guy is mostly trying to fool you with nonsense.) Xia thought to himself, with his understanding of the old guy's character, the possibility of this kind of guess is infinitely close to possibility!
However, Char had no intention of arguing with Hannigan on this issue.
Great is great, and if you think he is great, that's your business.
Xiaya thought so to himself, and then he looked at Hannigan: "Okay, you've seen me, and then what?"
"You are very good." Hannigan smiled: "Galin was seriously injured and the Sofiatos sent him back to Odin. When I saw him, I was surprised. My son I know very well that he is me. He was trained with one hand. Although his strength has not yet reached the real powerhouse, it is not too far. If he can be beaten like that, he will almost be destroyed. For such an opponent, I began to think that it might be those dozens of people. An old friend from years ago. But when I learned that it was a young man younger than him who injured him, and more importantly, when I learned that this young man was still the son of the old alcoholic , I decided, I must come and see you guy. And now, I am very satisfied, you are indeed very good and excellent. "
There was a cold sweat on Xia Ya's back, and he could see the light in Hannigan's eyes.
"You, what do you want?" Xia Ya took a deep breath.
"I'm very happy." Hannigan smiled slightly: "You have reached such a state at only twenty years old, which surprises me! Xia Yaleiming, you have given me a new hope?"
"hope?"
"Yes, it's hope." Hannigan's tone suddenly became serious: "Thirty years ago, there were only one and a half of my opponents. Now your adoptive father is no longer alive, and that Saint Laurent Garros ... Hmph, if she still insists on the destiny of guarding the holy city, then she is destined to be unworthy of being my opponent! Looking at the world, there is no other opponent that can make me excited. On the road of cultivation, if there is no one If the opponent can keep me vigilant all the time, let me hone hard, let me prove my strength, then it will be a disaster for cultivation. We Odins have a saying: If you want to become a great Soldiers, you must have a strong opponent."
"The Byzantine saying is: safflower should be matched with green leaves." Xi Ya muttered, "Let's say it clearly, you need a stepping stone to let you step on the other's shoulders and make progress, right?"
"Yes, a stepping stone... or rather, a goal. A new impetus."
Xia Ya felt a little timid in her heart: "You... don't tell me it's me, right?"
"It's you, dear boy." Hannigan smiled.
…
not alive!
This day is over!
If you suffer with all your skin and flesh and get beaten by this pervert, as long as you don't die, go back to bed for a few months, as long as you can get through this trouble, it will be a great luck!
But if he was blacklisted by the former God-Emperor Odin and became the "goal" or "motivation" he always cared about, how would he live his life in the future? !
Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves!
If you are concerned by other opponents, the big deal is that you will have more headaches, and then think about countermeasures.
But if you are concerned by an opponent like God Emperor Odin... Then it's better to find a rope and hang it directly!
"You really look down on me." Xia Ya smiled bitterly.
"Don't take yourself too lightly." Hannigan said lightly: "You have achieved such an achievement at the age of 20, which is unprecedented! If you can advance to become a real powerhouse within two years, it will be a feat in history. The youngest strong man! Such a talented person is enough to qualify as my future opponent."
(I swear that I will sleep with my head covered every day after I go home today, and I will never practice martial arts again!) Xia vomited blood in her heart.
"You mean, wait for my strength to improve again, wait for me to continue to be strong, and when my strength is strong enough to catch your eyes, come to a duel with me?" Xia Ya's laugh is more ugly than crying.
"A worthy opponent is worth waiting for." Hannigan said very seriously: "Only by fighting against a really powerful opponent and fighting to the death can I make new breakthroughs."
"But... Maybe, you'll have to wait for a long time." Xia Ya suddenly rolled his eyes, and bad water filled his stomach: "Even if I become a 'strong man' in two years, but if I want to be able to fight with you I don't know how long it will take."
"I'll be patient and watch your progress carefully." Hannigan smiled.
"If it takes twenty years? Thirty years? Fifty years?" Xia Ya looked a little malicious: "I'm still very young..."
Damn it, it really doesn't work, I will live longer than you!
Judging from the age, this uncle is only twenty years old, but you are an old man, how can I live longer than you! When I become a real top and powerful character, maybe your old man can't even move!
"I have enough time to wait." Hannigan smiled: "You may not know that a real strong person, such as me, once competes for the shackles, these shackles also include the shackles of life! Our lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people. It takes a long time to imagine. For example, the old friends who died recently, they were all over two hundred years old when they died."
"..." Xia Ya's hair was almost standing up!
Two hundred years old? Even if I quit drinking and quitting sex now, I wouldn't be able to live that long, right
"I think that I, who have competed for the shackles of life, will live longer than those old friends." Hannigan saw through Xia Ya's mind and smiled: "So, we have a long time. , child, I look forward to your growth."
"Is it like the butcher's mentality when he expects the piglets to grow up to be slaughtered with a knife?" Char said angrily.
Hannigan smiled without saying a word, but came to a default.
Xia Ya said with grief and anger: "What if you die first? Maybe when you go to the holy city of Babylon this time, that Saint Laurent Garros suddenly increases in strength and cuts you off?"
"Hahahaha..." Hannigan burst out with a ridiculous laugh and glanced at Xiaya: "Then you are the greatest wealth I left to my son! Every generation of our God Emperor Odin is the top of the continent. Strong man, although I don't care about the throne, I am very happy to see my son become a great strong man. If I die, you are the best grinding stone for my heir! My heir, If you want to become a great powerhouse, you are his biggest opponent! You are not too different in age, and you are the fateful enemy of your life."
Oh shit! It really doesn't give people a way to live!
Xia Ya vomited blood in her heart.
your heir? Your successor is the future Emperor Odin!
Let such a person be his "fateful opponent" and "enemy of the world"? ? ? Please, they are God Emperor Odin, who leads a powerful empire! Hundreds of thousands of Odin warriors! Own half of the continent!
Compared with such an opponent, Lao Tzu, the "General of the Northern Guards", is simply a native aristocrat in the countryside!
The most terrifying thing is that the newly appointed God Emperor Odin did not have the detached mind of His Majesty Hannigan in front of him, and actually abandoned the power of the throne!
If the new Emperor Odin really regards himself as an opponent, he will directly kill hundreds of thousands of Odin warriors...
How to compare? how to spell
"Anyway, you Hannigans have spent time with Lao Tzu, haven't you?" Xia Ya frowned: "You really value me!"
Damn, the whetstone is the whetstone! Anyway, I was destined to be hostile to the Odins in this life.
Xia Ya's ruthless bachelor's anger rose up, and she was completely heartbroken, staring at Hannigan: "But don't you think it's too unfair? Your son is you He was trained by one hand, and received the best training and teaching. What about me? I practice martial arts, but I don’t even have a decent teacher by my side. Although Merlin is powerful, she is a magician and can’t teach me. Too many. Besides, if your heir wants to deal with me, the identity of a God-Emperor Odin is enough to crush me. How can I fight him?"
"So, if you want to break through, the best way is to break free from the shackles. The worldly shackles on your body will soon become the thorns that bind you forward." Hannigan sighed: "But I will not force you to now Just abandon everything. After all, you have not experienced the tempering of the world, and you have not really seen through it in your own heart. If you use external force to force you to abandon everything, you will not really understand your own state of mind. Even me, it took a few moments. It took ten years to understand this. Breaking away from the shackles is not simply cutting off everything. Before breaking free, decades of hard work are also indispensable. Decades of the emperor's career brought me wisdom and life. It is also an indispensable part of progress. The baptism of several years in the world is also an inevitable stage for tempering the state of mind.”
After a pause, Hannigan said lightly: "I can give you a promise that within three years, the Odin Empire will not send troops to the south to attack you. This is a favorable condition for you. You have enough time to come. Use your wisdom, expand your power and strength, and experience your state of mind well in this world. After three years, the Odin Empire will definitely go south! At that time, I will be very happy to see the results of your growth. ."
"I don't understand. Didn't you say that status and power are shackles? Why did you give me a few years to..."
"It's a shackle, and it's also a process of grinding." Hannigan smiled: "If there is no such process, what is breaking free? I said that power and status are shackles, but if you never have power and status, then where will the shackles come from? If you don't even have shackles, how can you cut off the shackles and break free?"
Xia Ya thought about it, although this is a bit too philosophical, but it seems to be such a truth.
If you want to be strong, you just need to abandon the worldly power... Then can any beggar be able to do it
You must first have powerful power and wealth, and finally see through it all, dare to abandon it all, in order to achieve the purpose of breaking through the mood!
three years... three years...
Xia Ya suddenly felt a move in her heart, raised her eyelids and looked at Hannigan: "That's nice! Actually, your heir, who has just inherited the throne, will take three years to stabilize his position, right? Hmph..."
He immediately woke up in his heart, the Hannigan in front of him was not an aloof master like Merlin who did not understand worldly affairs. His Majesty Hannigan had been an emperor for decades! The city government and wisdom in my heart are definitely not ordinary!
"Work hard, you are the future opponent I cultivated and the whetstone for my heir to grow." Hannigan sighed.
After pondering for a while, His Majesty Hannigan took out something from his arms and gently threw it to Xia Ya.
Xia Ya took it, but found a round crystal in his hand, as if it had been rubbed for an unknown number of years.
"This is?"
"This is a small gift from me." Hannigan smiled slightly: "Of course, it is also a little nourishment for your growth. But you can't use this thing now. This is a special memory crystal, only waiting for you. Only when the strength reaches the realm of the strong can we use the power of the strong to open this crystal, which contains a precious thing I gave you."
(Can the power of the strong be unlocked? When I go back, I will ask Godmother Merlin to help me unlock it.) This kind of thought immediately moved in Xia Ya's heart.
"You don't have to think about tricks." Hannigan said coldly: "This crystal has my mark on it. If it is opened, even if it is thousands of mountains and rivers, I will be able to sense it! Xiaya, this crystal On the day it is opened, I will think that you have passed the first step of my assessment, and I will come back to test your skills in person! If you are not strong enough, use other methods to open it, and then come with me. When you do it, you are not strong enough, don't regret it when you suffer."
"Should I… thank you?"
"Then there's no need." Hannigan smiled humbly: "After all, I don't have any good intentions, and when your strength is strong enough to make me look at you, it will be the day I will kill you with all my strength! Xia Ya, I will train you to become stronger step by step, and the ultimate goal is to kill you with my own hands."
Xia Ya felt a chill in her heart, but then looked at the thing in her hand: "Can I ask... What is in it?"
"Didn't you just say that you lack a martial arts instructor?" Hannigan said lightly: "I have hidden a set of my unique skills here, but you can only learn it after you become a strong person. The name of this set of things is called 'Thundercloud Great Light Technique'."
Thundercloud Great Light Technique! !
I've heard the name Xia before! He once pestered Merlin and asked Merlin to tell the legendary story of the ten powerful men besieging the Emperor Odin thirty years ago.
I remember Merlin said that back then, the God Emperor Hannigan, who was in front of him, used this "Thundercloud Great Light Technique" to defeat the other nine powerhouses in the continent! Even Saint Laurent Garros is less than half the price in the face of this set of "Thundercloud Great Light Technique"!
Can be called the world's first-class unique skills!
