I was the only one left in the whole room. I looked at the ceiling, and I was very worried about Zixue. She would come sooner or later, and she came in at the moment when Teacher Zhuang's true feelings were revealed. This little girl usually looks very docile, but once It's really not easy to persuade me to find out what's going on, forget it, don't think too much, I can't do anything now.
I checked the situation in my body intently, and found that my body was empty, my fighting energy was overdrawn very badly, the Heavenly Demon Art was better, most of it was still in the original place, let's sleep, these things can't be recovered by practicing. With my worries about Zixue, I gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up, I felt much better. A nurse walked in, and it was Kelan.
I said in surprise, "Klan, you are here to take care of me again."
Kelan said angrily: "It's not me, you are heartless, you have disappeared since you left last time, I went to the academy to look for you, your teacher said you were locked up, and you should have come out of the lockup earlier Well, it still didn’t come, hum.”
I said embarrassingly: "No, I have been preparing for the competition, so I didn't take the time to do it. No, did I hurry up as soon as the competition was over?"
Kelan sneered and said, "Yes, yes, he came here only after being beaten half to death, hurry up and eat, the dean specifically told you to give you good nutrition, you are now a distinguished guest of our hospital, If it wasn't for taking care of you last time, it really wouldn't be my turn."
Kelan took the hospital table and put it on the bed, and put the food on the table. It was really rich. A small pot was full of porridge made of unknown materials, as well as fruits and various pastries. I move my index finger.
Crane said, "This porridge is specially prepared for you. It's called Snow Grits and Chicken Porridge. I boiled it for you all night with snow grits and chicken. You can try it."
After taking a sip of porridge, my mouth was immediately filled with delicious flavor. I drank a large bowl of porridge in one breath, and even said it was delicious.
Kelan filled another bowl for me with satisfaction, and said, "Eat something else, too."
…
All the food was swept away by me, and it feels so comfortable to be full. I suddenly thought of one thing. I have to explain the matter with Zixue to Kelan. Zixue is already angry with me now. , I can no longer be caught by her.
Crane finished packing the tableware, sat by my bed, and said to me, "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
I nodded and said, "Klan, I have something to tell you."
Crane snorted.
I said, "Do you remember the girl you and I saw in the barn last time?"
Crane said, "Is that the pure and beautiful girl?"
I nodded.
Kelan seemed to have a premonition of something, and said indifferently, "What's wrong with her."
I sighed and summoned up the courage to say, "She is my current girlfriend."
Kelan's originally red face turned pale in an instant. He stared at me for a long time before saying, "When did you start?"
I didn't answer her question and said, "I'm sorry Crane, I already have her and I know you're good to me, but..."
Kelan stood up and said, "Who wants to do something with you? Don't be so sentimental. You can rest. I'm going out. Call me if you have something to do." She tried her best to control her steps and walked out of the room calmly. The door, as soon as she went out, she leaned against the wall, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
I half sat on the bed, and felt very uncomfortable. In just two days, I hurt the hearts of two girls. Maybe, I shouldn't be in touch with feelings.
Kelan still delivered food and medicine for me, and took care of my daily life, but her attitude was much colder and she seldom talked to me, but she took very good care of me, and she still stewed that delicious gnocchi for me every day. Snow grits chicken porridge, my heart is full of guilt. But I know that I must not soften my heart now, otherwise I don't know what will happen.
Under Kelan's meticulous care, I quickly recovered my physical fitness, and my condition basically returned to the original level. On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Kelan did not come. One of her colleagues brought me a letter for her. The letter was very simple, just Three words, written is - I hate you. I am so sorry for you, Kelan. I didn't say anything and went straight out of the hospital.
Crane was lying on the window on the second floor watching my leaving back, already crying into tears.
I didn't go back to the academy, but went straight to the Duke's mansion. I wanted to explain to Zixue that I had already hurt Kelan, so I absolutely couldn't let Zixue get hurt again.
I asked my servant to pass the message to me. After a while, the servant came out and said to me: "Second Miss said that she doesn't want to see you, please go back."
I said, "Please pass it on for me again, saying that I have something very important to say to her."
The servant said: "No need, Second Miss said, no matter what you say, she doesn't want to hear it."
It seems that Zixue is really angry with me, what should I do.
Zi Yan's figure suddenly appeared in my line of sight, and she said coldly: "Lei Xiang, you still dare to come to my house to find my sister. I will kill you." An arrow of light shot at me, and I hurriedly hid Open, Zi Yan was about to continue to fight, the Duke came out from the inside and said: "What happened, why is it so noisy. Hey, Lei Xiang, it's you, kid, I'm going to settle accounts with you."
Halo, they all come to me to settle accounts, what did I do wrong.
I said respectfully, "Your Excellency, I'm here to explain the misunderstanding."
Zi Yan said angrily: "There is nothing to explain, my sister caught me straight, you go fool around with that shameless teacher."
My face sank, and I said, "Be more polite, no one is shameless, I won't allow you to insult my teacher."
Zi Yan said: "Am I wrong? She is shameless and seduces her students."
I said angrily, "You..."
The duke said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense with him, come here, get it for me." As soon as he finished speaking, four black shadows flew out immediately, and it looked like guards and the like, and they were not inferior to me in any way. , this time is in trouble, not only failed to explain, but also had to fight first.
The four guards quickly surrounded them. Their kung fu was very solid, forcing me to deal with it. If it wasn't for the super strong defense, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on for a few times.
I rolled over and avoided a guard's attack. With a clang, a blue light fell out of my arms, making a crisp sound.
The Duke trembled all over his body and shouted, "Stop."
The four guards moved away one after another, leaving only me in a panic. The Duke waved his hand and took the thing I dropped. Ah, it was the bell that my mother gave me. The Duke murmured: "It is it, it is it, it is it. You, where did you get this thing?" Come." He was a little incoherent with excitement.
I said: "Can you let me explain Zixue's matter first, and return this bell to me first."
The Duke hurriedly said: "Tell me about this first. Zixue's affairs are on my shoulders. Come with me. Ziyan, you all go down first."
The Duke hurriedly dragged me around the mansion, and came to a room full of bookcases. This should be his study.
As soon as he entered the study, the Duke closed the door tightly and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, where did you get this thing from?"
My heart moved, and I said: "I used to protect a businessman to do business in the beastman country. I met an old woman by chance and gave it to me. She asked me to give this bell to you. There is a man named Lin Feng in the empire."
The Duke grabbed my shoulder and said excitedly: "I, I am Lin Feng, tell me what else she said."
I frowned and said, "Take it easy." I didn't expect that the person my mother asked me to look for was the Duke, what a coincidence.
The Duke relaxed his hands, his face full of expectation, I settled down and said, "The woman also said, let me tell Lin Feng, that is you, Lingling is sorry for him."
The Duke's whole body trembled suddenly, and he shed tears unconsciously. Let the sharp edge of the bell cut his palm. Suddenly, the Duke grabbed my arms tightly and hissed, "Tell me where she is now, I'm going to find her."
I shook my head and said: "When I saw her, she was already very weak. I'm afraid she can't last much longer. I wanted to bring her back to Dragon God, but she said she had no face to come back, so she ran away." gone."
The Duke was stunned and said, "Why is she unwilling to come back? Since I knew she was missing, I have been looking for her for nearly 20 years. Lingling, why, no matter what you have become, as long as you can come back, I will accept it." Yours." Hearing what the Duke said, could it be that he and his mother are lovers.
I asked, "What's the matter with you? Do you have any relationship with any woman?"
The Duke's eyes were red, he sighed, and said, "I was also a commoner back then, do you know that?"
I was surprised and said: "So you are also from a commoner background."
The Duke nodded and continued: "My name is Lin Feng. I have loved studying literature and martial arts since I was a child. My father saw that I was very motivated, so he went bankrupt and paid for my education. Looking at my father who is much older than ordinary people , I secretly swear that I must make extraordinary achievements to repay the love of his old man.”
The Duke seemed to have returned to his youth. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but have a look of longing on his face.
"In the process of learning, I have to put in more effort than others. I have a smart mind, coupled with hard work, I started to show my talents in the imperial capital when I was 17 years old. In order to further my studies, I used the money I earned from working Qian He was successfully admitted to Tiandu Academy with his own abilities. Speaking of which, I am still the senior of you and your two daughters. I practiced desperately in the academy. It was at that time that I met Lingling who was two worlds younger than me. At that time I thought she was just an ordinary aristocratic woman. I’m not afraid of your jokes. When I saw her for the first time, I felt a strong electric shock. Finally, there was something worthy of my concern besides money and power in my life. Things. At the beginning, I only dared to look at her silently from the sidelines. As time went by, her every frown and smile touched my heart. By chance, I finally talked to her first. Reply, since then, I can't help but fall in love with Lingling. Lingling is so gentle and kind. On the eve of her graduation, she finally accepted my love. I was ecstatic. At that time, I was already a minor official in the court I wanted to marry her as soon as possible, but since then, I have lost sight of her. Later, someone told me that she got lost while accompanying His Majesty to participate in the war with the Allied Forces of Warcraft. She turned out to be the emperor's favorite Princess Six, this bell is what I gave her as a token of love."
Listening to my mother's old lover talking about their past, I have a very strange feeling in my heart.
The Duke wiped away his tears, and stared at the shining blue bell obsessively.
I said, "Then you haven't gone to the two kingdoms of Warcraft to look for her traces?"
The Duke said: "Why not. I have disguised myself and traveled to the two countries several times, but what effect can this method of finding a needle in a haystack have? In the end, it all ended in failure."
I thought the duke was a sharp and cunning official, but I didn't expect him to be affectionate. I said, "What happened afterwards? Did you marry the current duchess?"
The Duke nodded and said: "Yes, although I can't forget Lingling, I still want to live. With my extraordinary mind and profound knowledge, I finally got the appreciation of a prince, who is willing to marry his daughter to me." , but the condition is that you must be married. This is also the reason why Sister Ziyan does not have my surname. Are you thinking that I am a person who does not use the means to achieve the goal, but, do you know that I married the prince Daughter, I can save thirty years of struggle. If Lingling is still there, maybe I will give up everything and live a happy life with her. However, I have nothing to miss, only the vows I made when I was a child, so I will marry I became the daughter of the prince and now the duchess. I got the power I wanted and fulfilled my vows, but have I been happy for so many years? No. I can only think of the days when I was with Lingling. I feel better. At first, when I saw you for the first time, you said to me, if it were me, would I give up if I fell in love with the rich and powerful’s daughter? Lingling is not missing, will His Majesty the King betroth his daughter to such a small official like me? Certainly not, but with the relationship between Lingling and me, I will not give up either. It is precisely because I thought of these things, I just agreed with you to associate with my daughter."
It turned out to be like this, my mother's charm is so great, I sighed secretly, even if my mother can come back, so what, she is already too old, and she is far worse than the Duchess, will the Duke still like her? Hard to say. What's more, mother can't come and destroy other people's families.
Thinking of this, I said, "My lord, this episode of your past really touched me, but the past is already in the past, so cherish the life in front of you."
The Duke nodded silently, and said: "Thank you for giving me this bell. What happened between you and Zixue, I will give you a chance to explain."
I blushed and changed the story of the day.
After hearing this, the Duke said puzzledly, "So that's the case, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
I straightened my face and said: "I swear on the honor of a soldier, if there is any empty promise..."
The Duke waved his hand to stop me from continuing, and he said: "Okay, I can tell what kind of person you are at a glance, okay, since you misunderstood, you can go to Zixue to clarify, this girl , I just like to get into the wrong end, and sometimes she has a very stubborn temper, so you need to coax her more. This semester is already on vacation, do you have any plans?"
I nodded and said, "I want to find a secluded place to practice for a while. After the battle with Riva, I found that my strength is still far behind. I have to improve to gain a firm foothold here. .”
The Duke has woken up from the grief just now. Hearing what I said, he showed an expression of approval and said, "You are right to think so. You are just like me back then. You are very self-motivated. Moreover, I heard that you There is also a mad physique, which is very good. However, there is one thing I want to ask you, do you have any goals?"
I hesitated, what is my goal, yes, what is my goal
The Duke said: "Everyone must have a lofty goal of their own. This is the driving force for you to move forward, do you understand? Just like me at the beginning, my goal is to get incomparable power, no matter what method I use , I got it now. What about you? What is your goal."
My mind is blank, have I ever had a purpose? When I was young, my goal was to become a peerless powerhouse, but now, do I still just think so? No, this alone is not enough.
The Duke said: "My child, it is not so easy to set a goal. I hope you can think about it during this holiday. If you need a quiet place to practice, I can provide it for you."] I shook my head and said : "No, thank you, I decided to leave now, you are very right, I am very confused about my future now, I really need to think about it. If I am here with you, I will not be able to concentrate, because I will always Thinking about Zixue, it is very likely that I can't control myself and go to find her."
The Duke said in surprise: "Didn't you explain to Zixue?"
I said: "No, just tell her for me, I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to leave after seeing her. If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night?"
The Duke smiled and said, "You can teach a child, well, let's go, I hope you can improve when you come back. I look forward to seeing you next time."
I took off the necklace my mother gave me, handed it to the Duke, and said, "You should know this."
The Duke's hands were trembling. He took the necklace and looked at it carefully, and said excitedly: "Of course I know it. This is the dowry gift I gave Lingling back then. How could it be in your hands?"
I sighed, and said: "That woman gave it to me, saying it was a reward for passing on the news." Speaking of this, my mother's heart-piercing voice seemed to ring in my ears again.
The Duke murmured: "She gave you this, why is that, it doesn't make sense." Of course he didn't know that I was actually Lingling's only son.
I said: "Give this to Zixue. Even if I give her a token of love, I will definitely come to marry her when I become famous. I won't be back during the holidays. I want to find a Cultivate well in an uninhabited place, you are right, I should set a goal for myself."
The Duke said: "I want to go to the palace to see Your Majesty. If Your Majesty learns about Lingling, he will be very happy." Forget it, this is beyond my control, what I have to do now is to improve myself as soon as possible.
Saying goodbye to the duke, I went out of the study, and ran into Zi Yan, she looked at me with hostility, and said: "Dad just let you go?"
I shrugged helplessly and said, "Then what else do you want, kill me, or beat me hard."
Zi Yan said angrily: "According to my opinion, I will kill you. Hmph."
My face darkened, and I said, "With your temper, if you don't change it, I'm afraid no one will dare to ask you in the future." After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked outside.
Zi Yan said behind my back: "You don't need to take care of whether you marry or not. Did you just leave like this? Don't you see Zixue?"
I stopped in my tracks and said, "I have explained everything to the Duke, you can just ask him. Tell Zixue for me that my feelings for her will never change."
After leaving the Duke's Mansion, I felt much happier. After all, I have completed the task my mother gave me. What should I do now? Go back to the college. Didn't Teacher Zhuang ask me to find her? After seeing her, I will start my own spiritual journey.
The college no longer had the hustle and bustle of the past, and the campus was quiet. I walked to Teacher Zhuang's office and knocked lightly on the door. Teacher Zhuang's voice came from inside: "Who is it? Come in."
I opened the door and walked into Teacher Zhuang's office. She seemed to be reading a book, and she looked quite leisurely.
"It's you, Lei Xiang, come quickly, have you recovered yet?"
I nodded and said, "It's all recovered."
Teacher Zhuang smiled and said, "That's good, you performed really well in the challenge with Riva this time."
I smiled wryly and said, "What's so good about it? No, I still lost, and there's nothing I can do to fight back."
Teacher Zhuang said: "How could it be? Although you were at a disadvantage at the beginning, after you became mad, you caused a lot of trouble for Riva, and shut down all those who were talking nonsense in the grade competition." He swears, and he also fights for the teacher."
Teacher Zhuang stood up, walked aside, and poured me a glass of water. I took the water glass, sighed, and said, "I can fight him with my special physique. With my current strength, I'm still too far behind Riva."
Teacher Zhuang comforted me and said, "It doesn't matter. He is four or five years older than you, and he has four or five years. Don't you have the confidence to catch up with him? By the way, Riva has been successfully selected for the Dragon Knight team. Temporarily being a trainee dragon knight, he will go to Dragon Valley to seek the inheritance of the giant dragon in a few days. Once he succeeds, he will become a formal dragon knight. At that time, his strength will be greatly improved, so you must Don't let up and target him."
I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can definitely defeat him."
Teacher Zhuang walked back to the desk, leaned down, and took out two wooden boxes from under the desk. She pointed to one of the long boxes and said, "This is the championship reward you won this time. The one you selected for you is a good item, open it and have a look.”
weapon? award? I forgot about this a long time ago. I walked up and grabbed the wooden box. It was so heavy! With my strength, I felt my hand drop down. Teacher Zhuang gave me a smug smile and motioned me to open it.
I opened the cover and saw that it was a long and wide sword with a black body, except for the black transparent crystal on the hilt. The severe cold, even though I don't know how to distinguish the quality of weapons, I can't help but praise: "Good sword."
Teacher Zhuang said: "Of course it's a good sword. This sword is one of the best weapons in the academy. It's an antique. If it wasn't for your crazy performance in the match with Riva, the dean would really He is reluctant to take it out, he already regards you as the best candidate to inherit Riva's position."
I took out the long sword from the box. The ribs of the handle fit perfectly, and it was very comfortable to hold. As soon as the long sword was in my hand, a cold and transparent feeling instantly spread from the hilt to my body. Jue quickly sent out energy in response to this cold air. The long sword in his hand emitted a faint black light.
Teacher Zhuang said in surprise: "Why does this sword change in your hands? When I held it, it didn't change at all. The sword is four feet three inches long, three inches wide, and one-quarter thick. Three-inch, belongs to the heavy sword category, named Mo Ming, I heard from the dean that it was originally a demon, or one of the seven famous swords in the world, there are three famous swords in the sky, and one was given to Riva , I gave one to you, and the other to stay in the academy."
I waved the heavy Mo Ming in my hand, and said in surprise: "Master Dean is willing to give me such a precious thing, this..."
Teacher Zhuang smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to be too grateful to him. This sword is no different from ordinary swords used by ordinary people. It was the vice president who said that you have practiced dark magic before, and you may be able to use this sword. Power, the dean felt that the sword was dark and unlucky, and coupled with the strong strength you showed, decided to pass it on to you."
It turned out to be the case, but what I learned was the most authentic dark magic, not dark magic.
Teacher Zhuang said: "I heard that even a good sword can be recognized by a drop of blood. I don't know if this sword has ever denied its master. Try it. If you can recognize its master, it can exert its greatest power in your hands. "
I nodded, and lightly cut my index finger with the edge of Moming, a drop of blood soaked into the blade immediately, and the black light of Moming suddenly rose, conveying to me an unusually cheerful emotion, the dark magic power in my body Fully mobilized by it, it quickly flows into the blade. Every time I cycle, I feel that the dark magic power is more pure. A feeling of flesh and blood appeared between me and Mo Ming.
After a long time, the black glow gradually faded, and Mo Ming returned to his initial state. Teacher Zhuang said, "It seems that it recognizes you as its master."
I gently stroked its spine, and said, "Mo Ming, you will be my best partner from now on, Mr. Zhuang, thank you for obtaining such a good sword for me."
Teacher Zhuang smiled and said: "Don't say that, I also want to thank you for saving face for me. I once said that no matter who can win the grade championship, I will give him something as a reward. The box is what I gave you."
I waved my hands again and again and said, "This Mo Ming is already too precious to me, how can I ask for yours again."
Teacher Zhuang's face darkened, and he said, "I said I want to give it away, so I want to give it away. Take it quickly." After speaking, he handed over the small square box.
Seeing her serious expression, I unconsciously took the small square box over, and Teacher Zhuang smiled and said, "Open it and have a look."
I opened the box and saw that it was a bracelet about four fingers wide, with a dragon carved on it, and it was dark blue. In the center of the bracelet was a circle of sky-blue gemstones. I counted them, and there were eight in total. It looks very beautiful, but I am a boy, wearing it is not a bit..., I said to Teacher Zhuang in embarrassment: "Teacher, this is for girls, I wear it like..."
Teacher Zhuang said angrily: "You idiot, what do you call a bracelet for girls? No one else can ask for this bracelet. It's mine... Try wearing it."
Helpless, I had no choice but to stretch my hand into the hole of the bracelet, but the hole was too small, and only four fingers could barely fit in. Teacher Zhuang suddenly recited a spell, and the bracelet emitted a dazzling blue halo, With a whoosh, it actually fit on my wrist, and it fit very well, like a small protective bowl.
Teacher Zhuang smiled proudly: "How about it? It's suitable. You don't need to worry about this bowl protector. It will automatically increase the power of magic when you use magic, but it only works on magic below level six. Basically, it can Let’s increase it by one level. When using more advanced magic, it will also have a certain increase effect.”
What? Added a level, so good? That is to say, if I use level 6 magic, it will have the power of level 7, and using higher level magic can also increase the power. Thinking of this, I hurried to pick off the bracelet, but I couldn't get it off no matter what I did, as if it had grown.
