Walking in the golden woods, Lester followed the sound of the stream and found a small stream with a hanging rainbow. Under the curious gaze of the deer, the man began to dig a hole with his hands.
"Na~Na~"
The kind-hearted deer did not notice the danger. After taking a few steps closer, it licked the man's cheek with its little tongue.
"Thank you, I'm fine."
"Na~NaNa~"
When the fawn was entangled, a Vastaya Otter carrying a bucket staggered over. It seemed that he had just seen the uninvited guest. The Otter opened his eyes wide, screamed, covered his mouth, dropped the bucket and ran away. , like seeing a pervert who likes to be exposed.
Not paying attention to the Otter Man who escaped, Lester buried Elena in the pit.
Finding a beautiful place to bury Elena in Omikayalan was the only thing he could do for Elena.
"Na na~"
Seeing Lester about to leave, the deer reluctantly followed behind him and croaked.
Seeing that the little deer didn't want to leave, Lester knelt down and hugged the little guy.
"I'm glad you like me. It's just that you have your home, I have mine, and we all have our own places to go back to. Go ahead and go back to your own path."
Unfortunately, the deer still refused to leave.
The man fell silent, the atmosphere became a little cold, and the deer became a little uneasy, but it still refused to leave because of its trust in the man.
"Young man, what are you hesitating about? Why don't you be your truest self?"
Looking at the white-haired old man coming from the other side of the stream, Lester shook his head and said nothing.
But the old man smiled, very wantonly, as if he had seen through a liar who was good at pretending.
It had been a long, long time since he'd heard an authentic Presidenian accent, but fortunately he hadn't forgotten where he came from.
"Young man, quickly pull out the knife in your hand and give that beast a good beating. Kindness and good intentions that become a burden will destroy a person. If you allow these irrelevant things to continue to block your way forward, you will More precious things will be lost,
Men should be more decisive, be ruthless to others and even ruthless to themselves in order to achieve great things... Instead of setting up rules for themselves and restricting their progress with hypocritical things like benevolence, justice and kindness, you are not such a waste, I can see that Come out, but you're still blocked by something, and you should kick it out of the way. "
"Are you teaching me how to do something?"
Facing the chattering old man, Lester pulled out the moon rose. The deer was finally frightened away by the evil aura emitted by the moon rose, but the old man laughed.
"Yes, I am just teaching you how to do things, young man. Most of the time, swords are more effective than words, and they can better see a person's true nature."
The old man calmly took off the long sword from his back and slashed in the air. The long sword made a breathtaking sound, and Lester frowned.
The old man holding the long sword seemed to have turned into a sword light, sensing the threat of the same kind. The moon rose flashed with a dark red luster violently, and the sword screamed not to be outdone.
The evil spirits of the two people formed a terrible cyclone during the collision, causing animals within a hundred miles to flee.
Lester lifted the moon rose indifferently.
"How to say?"
With a flick of his wrist, the old man smiled and said: "Just talk about the sword's will until you have fun."
The moment the voice fell, the distance of more than ten meters flashed past, the light of the sword cut through the air, and the two were already fighting together.
Although Lester has never deliberately learned sword skills, he has also learned the simplest and most effective knife skills in his career as a killer. His moves are ruthless, his swords are deadly, he specializes in key points, and highlights a powerful force. The five methods of pulling, cutting, stabbing and chopping are enough to draw out the terrifying knife network.
Although he did not have the upper hand in terms of strength, the old man's long sword was not at a disadvantage. Instead, he used his exquisite skills to remove most of the force from the long sword, and combined with his exquisite body skills to transform into an impeccable swimming dragon, he was able to move with ease. Traveling through the terrifying knife network, after adapting to Lester's simple and effective attack method, the old man turned against the enemy and launched attacks on Lester's many vital points.
Under the old man's increasingly ferocious attack, Lester's sword force soon showed huge flaws. After hesitating for a moment, Lester, who was unable to use his special power, gave up and let the long sword in his hand go. The knife was deflected, and the tip of the sword, which shone with cold light, pierced Kongmen's open chest, then went up and down the neck.
The blade of the long sword stopped dangerously at Lester's throat. Yin Fulin in the shadow began to become manic, but she had to put away her claws under Lester's comfort.
"It's pretty good to be able to swing a knife by instinct alone. Young man, I really saw you right. I'm having fun, I'm having fun. After living with these beasts for so many years, I'm finally having fun."
The old man retracted his sword and patted Lester on the shoulder.
"What's your name? You have black hair. Are you Ionian?"
"Liszt, from the continent of Valoran."
"It turns out they are from Valoran. You must want to know what's going on here. Do you want to chat? Just go to our village and sit for a while. I can also find you a suitable one. You always look like a savage. The same won’t work.”
Although he was a little disappointed that the outstanding juniors were not from Ionia, the old man didn't care too much.
Whether they are Valorans or Ionians, they are all considered human beings as long as they live in this land.
As long as they are pure human beings, they are all compatriots.
Facing the old man's invitation, Lester nodded.
"It must be difficult to get here. How did you deal with that old woman with scissors?"
"Tended her garden for a month."
The old man raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"With such a big movement, I thought you had beaten the old lady... So you must have forgotten a lot of things, right? Those flowers are not something that is easy to satisfy."
"Yeah, so I chopped them all up."
"Haha! Well done!"
The old man was very interested in talking and asked questions along the way. He was so enthusiastic that Lester couldn't stand it anymore and could only deal with it casually.
After more than two hours, the two finally walked out of the golden forest and arrived at a small village with about a hundred households.
Lester found that this area seemed to be mostly populated by humans. He only met a few Vastayans on the way here. After seeing the old man, he quickly ran away with a look of horror on his face. The relationship between the old man and the Vastayans seemed to be at a high level. The old man didn't take the initiative to mention the hostility, so he didn't ask.
If any taboo is touched upon and offends the old man, subsequent communication will not be easy.
"Master, you are back."
Several young people who were carrying collecting baskets outside the village bowed and saluted when they saw the old man approaching.
"Well, go ahead."
After watching the curious young man leave, Lester turned to look at the old man.
"You seem to have a high status in the village."
The old man waved his hands with a blank look on his face.
"I just did something that was recognized by the villagers. There is no status or status... I happen to have a few bottles of fruit wine at home. Let's go have a few drinks and have a good chat."
Seeing that the old man had no intention of explaining, the rest of the villagers didn't ask any more questions. They just watched the old man return to their house with respectful eyes.
There is no difference between the houses of other villagers. The old man's wooden house is also very simple. It just has a larger outer yard. In addition to the common radish, cabbage, and leeks, some vegetables that Lester has never seen before are also planted in the outer yard. It seems that A specialty of Omicayaland.
Taking down two large pieces of dried meat from the drying rack at the door, the old man pushed open the unlocked door and motioned for Lester to go in first.
"When I go to the cellar to get some wine and some food, you can sit down first. There is a set of cloth clothes under my bed. You can put them on first."
The furnishings in the house are very simple, with a low table and three low stools, a wooden bed covered with furs against the corner, and a simple weapon rack for placing hunting bows and long swords.
After changing into plain cloth, Lester sat on a low stool and waited for the old man to come back.
In less than three minutes, the old man came in carrying two pots of clay-sealed earthenware pots. He also placed two plates of sliced dried meat and dried pickled radish on a wooden plate. He placed the long sword on the weapon rack and withdrew. Sitting on the other side of the low table, he pushed the unsealed earthen jar to Lester.
The strong aroma of wine wafted out from the jar, and Lester knew that this fruit wine was definitely extraordinary.
"Young man, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yinlong. You can call me Laolong. How do you call me?"
"Hidden Dragon... So you are here... This is really... My name is Liszt, I recognize you, Master Hidden Dragon."
Confused by Lester's overly complicated expression, Yinlong took a sip of fruit wine and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"After so many years, I thought no one would remember me. Could it be that my Dragon Hidden Style has been passed down? Impossible. I remember that before I came in, I had not had time to teach the Dragon Hidden Technique. Liszt, tell me quickly. Tell me."
"Because you didn't leave behind the Dragon Invisibility Technique, Master Ellis couldn't support the Dragon Hidden Style on his own. He could only concentrate on studying the skills you left behind, and spent decades creating the Kirigakure Style..."
In the next hour or so, Lester explained the development of the Kirigakure style in detail. Especially when he heard that Iris was still actively exploring the spiritual maze, hoping to find himself and fulfill his wish, Hidden Dragon burst into tears. .
"That kid Iris is just too honest. I feel sorry for him..."
After crying for a while, the old man said with red eyes.
"Xiyue, Huanxue and Awat are also good kids. How are they? Are they okay?"
"Huanxue and Awat have grown up a lot, Xiyue...she has left..."
The old man was stunned, staring at Lester's sad eyes, and asked tremblingly.
"How... did she leave?"
After Lester told everything that happened in the Placidian Spiritual Disaster, Hidden Dragon stood up with red eyes, grabbed Lester's collar with all his strength, panted angrily and wanted to beat him up, but failed. Unable to remove his hand, he finally had no choice but to let go weakly and slump back on the short stool.
"Xizuki is the best inheritor of the Kirigakure style. She would not have died without me."
"It's useless to say this now. Although I really want to beat you up, I know that I can't blame you for that girl's death. Life, this is all life..."
The two drank half a can of wine in silence, and after confirming by checking the pulse that the Kirigakure-ryu spell circulation was indeed established in Lester's body, the old man who completely believed in Lester's words broke the heavy atmosphere and wiped away the residual tears.
"Boy, remember, that girl Xiyue recognized you, and Iris and the others also recognized you, then I will also recognize you and treat you as a descendant of the Kirigakure style. Not only that, I will also teach you the dragon Invisibility method and my experience in using the weapons I created, don’t look at me like this! Don’t leave until you finish learning...
After you leave, remember to bring these things back to the Kirigakure flow, which can be regarded as settling a lifetime of regrets for me. "
"Master Hidden Dragon, you..."
The old man blew his beard and said loudly with eyes wide open.
"You still call me master?"
Seeing that the old man didn't regard himself as an outsider, Lester lowered his head sincerely.
"Teacher Hidden Dragon."
Hearing the new title, the old man suddenly smiled.
"That's right, come on, drink!"
After both of them got out of their sadness, the lamented old man asked about Lester's situation.
"I took the initiative to come in for Shia's transformation method."
"Shia? How to transform?"
"Shia is a dragon bird. In Ionia, it seems to be called a wind beast. For some reasons, I agreed to Shia to find a way for her to transform into a human form. I thought that Vastaya Xari might There is a form-changing method, so I will find a way to get in."
"Her? What do you want to do by turning a beast into a woman's form?"
In response to the strange look in the old man's eyes, Lester remained calm and his heart did not beat.
"What can I do? Making Shia speak human language is my goal."
"Heh, this is really... not a coincidence."
"Any questions?"
Nodding, the old man sighed.
"Those humanoid beasts do have original magic that can help the beasts transform into human forms, but Omikayalan's situation is more complicated, and our relationship with those vastayas is not good... Forget it, let me tell you something. Let’s talk about the current situation.”
The old man took out an animal skin map from the box under the bed, spread it out directly on the ground, and pointed to a certain circle mark on the map.
"This is our location. This village is called [Rabia Village] by the locals. It is one of the five pure-blood human villages. It is not far from the [Jiection Mountain] at the southern exit. After leaving the boundary mountain, there is the old The garden of forgetfulness controlled by the eighth wife,
I have been drawing this map for decades, recording all the forces I have seen in Omikayalan. I think you should have seen something, right? "
Come and take a closer look.
There are only a few circles on the map separated by a dozen triangles, guarding a huge six-pointed star in the north. If the circles represent pure-blood human villages, then the triangles belong to the Vastaya people. village,
The difference in numbers between the two is staggering, but just looking at the map, it is still impossible to tell what kind of conflict has arisen between humans and Vastayans.
"The gap between the number of humans and the vastayas is too big. When facing the vastayas, humans will suffer a lot."
Nodding, the old man's voice was very heavy.
"Strictly speaking, it's not that we're at a disadvantage, but that humans are being oppressed by the vastayas. Just because of the constraints of the ancient [Holy Covenant], some vastayas who want to completely enslave humans can't blatantly attack humans. , can only use some despicable means."
Pointing to the outside of the house, Yinlong's expression was not very good.
"The only reason why I stayed here and didn't go out is because some Vastayans treat humans as pigs and dogs and kill them at will. Only swords can make those beasts with human faces understand that humans are not to be bullied at will. .”
