Compared with the house of Grand Instructor Lei Ze and Grand Instructor Qi Wei La’s current courtyard, which is full of flowers and plants and looks lively, they are simply two worlds apart.
In the empty room, there were almost no furnishings, no table, no chairs, not even a bed, and nothing else. Great Master Lei Ze and one of his descendants just sat cross-legged on the floor all day long, not knowing where they were.
Thinking about something.
But Link always felt that Master Lei Ze's room was actually full of things invisible to the naked eye, full of something that might be called "danger". At least he knew that he had never stepped into Master Lei Ze's room.
From the beginning, from body to spirit, he will involuntarily enter a state of full defense, even more than when he faced the perverted sword of instructor Calvin that night in the woods, than when he faced the ferocious monster boss that night.
, all have to be more concentrated.
In front of a completely empty scene, this feeling of extreme danger has no reason at all, but it is so real that it can be felt almost intuitively without any need for sensitivity. It is really a very special thing.
Weird things.
Link walked slowly through the morning sun, step by step, through Master Lei Ze's courtyard. There was silence, and the only sound Link could hear was his own heartbeat.
In such a vast space in the Mage Tower, the climate seems to be able to change with the adjustment of the rules by several great mentors, so it is not that there are no other creatures at all. At least every morning, Link can still hear the clear chirping of birds.
Voice.
But in the ordinary courtyard of Master Lei Ze, you can never hear any sound from the outside world. Every time you step into this courtyard, you seem to have embarked on a journey that you can only face by yourself.
On the road, I no longer feel any sound, any interference, or any influence from the outside world.
It is as if everyone can only face their own death alone.
The sun shone unobstructedly on this courtyard, but Link still felt that the surrounding emptiness was densely filled with a gloomy aura that was so dense that even the sunlight could not shine through, an aura belonging to death.
In the house of Grand Master Lei Ze, no matter it is sunny or dark, every corner feels like a faint sense of death.
"Ta", Link successfully resisted the urge to put his hand on the hilt of the sword, took the last step, and stepped onto the hall leading to the hall where Master Lei Ze and his disciple were sitting cross-legged.
steps.
Four months ago, he was barely able to step into the hall where Master Lei Ze sat cross-legged without drawing out his knight's sword. It took another three months for him to keep his hand intact.
I have to leave the hilt of the knight's sword to finish this section of the road.
After three years of perverted training by mentor Calvin, and since he truly became a swordsman, it has become almost instinctive to pull out the knight's sword every time he encounters such a feeling of extreme danger.
It's something, but when entering the place where Master Lei Ze meditates, holding a knight's sword and visiting in a cautious way is always a very rude thing, and the key is that Link enters Lei Ze for the third time.
When he entered Master Ze's room, he was completely sure that the danger here only existed in his feelings. Neither Master Lei Ze nor his disciple would do anything to him.
Any action that is dangerous at all.
For the first time in his life, Link realized that his instinctive and sensitive sense of danger could sometimes deviate from reality, or be deliberately misled by strong people.
Just like what he encountered after stepping into Master Lei Ze's room, even though he knew that he could not encounter real danger, the strong sense of danger still made his body pull out almost instinctively.
The act of wielding the knight's sword and adjusting the body to the best condition for fighting.
Such a misguided feeling would definitely be extremely dangerous if it appeared in a real battle.
Ever since he understood this truth, Link, who didn't know what he could learn from Master Lei Ze who never seemed to like communicating with others, started running to Master Lei Ze's room every day.
There is something more terrifying than Link realizing that the intuition and instinct in battle that he was always proud of could be misled. Now he is no longer worried about leaving all this to unpredictable instinct.
Instead, he was trying to take advantage of the peculiar environment in Master Lei Ze's room to bring all his intuitions and instincts into a situation that he could control.
"Huh." When Link passed the flower tree planted in front of Master Lei Ze, he finally felt that he had successfully suppressed the urge to pull out the sword in his heart.
, although the feeling of extreme danger was still everywhere, it could no longer affect his judgment of everything around him, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.
For more than a year, even though a few days ago he was able to reach this point without holding the hilt of the sword tightly, but until now, in the house of Grand Master Lei Ze,
Under the pressure of the strange aura in his body, he felt for the first time that he had regained complete control over his state of mind and body.
The feeling of extreme danger and the experience of the pervasive pressure of death were just a reminder to him, but they could no longer affect his judgment and reaction.
For the first time, Link felt a little relaxed in Master Lei Ze's room.
He smiled softly, made a face at Master Lei Ze, who was still sitting there with no reaction, as if he was just a statue, and then walked to the side of Master Lei Ze, and talked to the Master Lei Ze who was also sitting there.
The descendants of Great Master Lei Ze were sitting cross-legged across from the half-dry flower tree with only one flower in bloom.
It is definitely not easy to meditate with Master Lei Ze in his room.
At least when Link still had to pull out his knight's sword to step into the hall door, he absolutely couldn't do it. At the beginning, he had not yet approached Master Lei Ze.
He was already sweating profusely, and the hand holding the knight's sword was trembling slightly, and he almost couldn't resist the urge to slash Master Lei Ze with one sword.
After all, this kind of invisible but real pressure is the easiest to suppress.
It was not until later that he could stabilize his mind by holding the hilt of the sword without having to pull out the sword, and then he was able to meditate for a while with Master Lei Ze in the room of Master Lei Ze.
But that feeling is absolutely unpleasant!
When all the muscles in Link's body were in a state of collapse under extreme tension, the feeling of forcing himself to sit there quietly made Link feel even more tired than when he underwent the most rigorous training.
It can be said that every time Link stepped into Master Lei Ze's house and left, no matter how short it was in fact, it was enough to make Link feel that it was as long as months or even years of suffering.
If Link hadn't understood that this was the best opportunity to train his will and concentration, he would never have thought of doing it a second time after experiencing this experience for the first time.
That's why Link, a little pervert who was tortured by a group of old perverts, can be so painful every time, but he just runs to this place every day again and again, repeating that again and again.
Even if Master Calvin is here and sees his behavior, he will definitely give him a thumbs up and praise him: "How perverted!"
Of course, the benefits Link gets from such a training are definitely huge enough.
On the continent that has been peaceful for who knows how many years, there is no knight, or any strong man, who can really have the opportunity to face danger and death threats on a regular basis, and some of them have the most important temperament in battle.
It is not something that can be cultivated through systematic learning and thinking.
An encounter like Link's, who has been struggling on the edge of extreme danger every day for more than a year, is something that is impossible to encounter anywhere else.
Now, when facing extreme danger, Link can completely eliminate some negative things that can affect his performance, such as fear, nervousness, etc.
This alone can already elevate his strength to a higher level in real battles.
Link sat cross-legged in the hall, but instead of closing his eyes like Master Lei Ze and his successors, he stretched his neck and looked around.
He was a lively and active guy by nature, and it would be even more uncomfortable to have him sit there and meditate motionless than to kill him.
When he sat here before, he chose to close his eyes because he had to concentrate all his attention on adjusting his heart's reaction and instinct to dangerous pressure. In the past year or so, Link has sat here cross-legged.
The time went from extremely short to being able to sit for half a day. Old Scuva thought he had changed his gender and praised him for a long time. But in fact, Link only regarded this as a challenge and never really
Went to sit and meditate.
Now that feeling of extreme danger could no longer affect his state of mind and reaction, it was only today that Link had the energy to open his eyes, and for the first time, he really carefully looked at this place of Master Lei Ze.
His first feeling was that he looked familiar!
The flower tree with only one flower in front of Grand Master Lei Ze looked a bit familiar.
Link has made great progress in planting flowers and plants these days, whether it is the theory he learned from the classics or the practice of growing flowers and plants from his mentor Vera, so he has to keep an eye on that plant.
After looking at the flower tree for a long time, I finally determined that this flower tree was exactly the same species as the dead flower tree planted in the center of the yard by Grand Instructor Vera.
There's a problem!
There are no other furnishings in Grand Master Lei Ze’s house, but a flower tree like this is planted in front of where he sits cross-legged in the hall, although as a Grand Master he can influence the operation of the rules.
, but at least it seems to be a very inconsistent thing.
When Link came in for the first time, he noticed this flower tree that was planted out of place. However, all this time, he was still focused on fighting against the feeling of extreme danger and had no thoughts.
I came to pay attention to this kind of thing, so I never found that this flower tree was the same species as the dead one of Master Vera.
Thinking of how Grand Instructor Qi Vera cherished the dead flower tree planted in the center of the courtyard, Link touched his chin and laughed silently.
There is absolutely no connection between these two flower trees.
It seems like there is a lot of gossip to be mined here!
Link thought about the process of digging up the gossip in his mind, and then he moved his eyes away from the flower tree and started to look at other things.
However, there was really nothing else to look at in the empty room of Master Lei Ze, so Link quickly moved his eyes to the face of the successor of Master Lei Ze who was sitting across from him.
Then Link was startled.
Because this descendant of great mentor Lei Ze is actually so young, he looks as if he is not much older than himself!
The members in the Mage Tower are almost all people who came in many years ago. Except for the four great mentors who have mastered the power of rules, the other members are basically white-haired old men and women.
Even among the four great mentors, old Skuva has the image of a white-haired grandfather. Although his great mentor Vera is still beautiful, the feeling of vicissitudes of life that is revealed intentionally or unintentionally in his eyes is still not there.
It makes people think how young she is; Grand Instructor Kairos and Grand Instructor Lei Ze are a bit of a type of people whose age cannot be discerned, but they are always closer to middle age than teenagers.
Therefore, this is the first time that Link has met a member of the Mage Tower who is as young as the descendant of Master Lei Ze in front of him since he entered the Mage Tower.
From the first time Link set foot in the hall of Master Lei Ze, the successor has been sitting here cross-legged like Master Lei Ze. Until now, it seems that even the posture has not changed. His head always stays when meditating.
It was a bit low, and the light in the hall was not good. Of course, more importantly, the great Knight Link was not in the mood to look at the successor of Master Lei Ze at that time. It was not until today that he discovered his dissatisfaction.
Come the same way.
Could it be that he, the young man who was just captured, was accidentally spotted by Master Lei Ze, so he was caught here meditating with this guy all day long?!
Thinking of this, Link glanced at the successor of Grand Master Leize with some sympathy. In his mind, all the Grand Masters in the Mage Tower, except for Grand Master Qi Vera, were more or less all.
There are some perverts, especially this Great Master Lei Ze, who is so perverted that he keeps silent, which is even more terrifying.
Fortunately, this time I was brought in by Old Scuva. If this Great Master Lei Ze took a fancy to me, I would have to sit here all day long, which would be even worse than killing someone.
Link thought so, stood up, and tiptoed to the successor of Great Master Lei Ze, reaching out his hand to pat him on the shoulder and say hello to this suffering brother.
Almost at the same time as he stretched out his hand, the guy who had not made any movement suddenly opened his eyes.
die!
There has never been a time when Link felt that he was as close to death as he is now!
There was nothing else in that young man's eyes, only the strong breath of death remained!
It's as if he is not a human being at all, but the incarnation of death!
If he hadn't suppressed his instincts for more than a year, if he hadn't been familiar with this extremely dangerous feeling for more than a year, Link would definitely have drawn out the knight's sword as soon as possible and faced the person in front of him.
This young man.
But now Link was still able to maintain the smile on his face and nodded to the boy: "Hello, my name is Link!"
The young man looked at Link quietly for a long time and seemed to be surprised by his reaction. After a long time, his face moved and he uttered two words: "Anta!"
"Hello Anta!" Link said hello again, glanced at Master Lei Ze who still seemed to be unconscious, winked at Anta, and lowered his voice and said: "How long have you been following this old guy?
Come on, aren’t you annoyed by this old guy forcing you to sit all day long?! Why don’t we secretly..."
"I, an old guy, didn't force him." Before Anta could speak, a rich voice came over first. Master Lei Ze, who had not moved all this time, actually slowly opened his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.
Link: "Knight Link, do you want to help Anta escape from the clutches of this old guy like me?!"
"Ah ha, Master Lei Ze, you're awake too," Link said heartily, while retreating outside: "The weather is so nice today, oh, by the way, old Skuva has something to do with me.
Well, I’m leaving first, I’m leaving first!”
He turned around and ran outside. When he was almost at the door, he turned back and waved to Anta.
"One year, seven months and six days." Master Lei Ze looked at the direction in which Link was leaving, with a rare smile on his lips: "To be able to feel at ease in the face of death so quickly, this young man really often
What a surprise!”
"It seemed that I only spent three months." Anta, who was standing aside, had no expression on his face and coldly interjected: "Master Lei Ze, you have forgotten it, have you?"
"It's different." Master Lei Ze shook his head gently: "You have dissolved yourself into death and regarded it as a part of death, but Link has taken a challenge to death from beginning to end.
This boy naturally doesn't like to be bound by any rules. Maybe he is right. Only in this way can we truly understand what the power of freedom is!"
"It seems that you have never praised a person so much." Anta's face was still expressionless and he said lightly: "I should be the one who protects the road to challenge. Now I suddenly look forward to the day when I can quickly
The point is coming!”
"You are jealous, Anta." Master Lei Ze looked at Anta with a loving expression on his face: "Your talent and understanding are unique in thousands of years, but there are some things that are unique except for talent and understanding.
In addition, you also need a heart!”
"Then do you think he will definitely beat me?!" Anta's tone still lacked any emotion, and he closed his eyes again: "I will prove it to you!"
"No, I don't know what the result will be." Master Lei Ze glanced at Anta and sighed softly: "I also want to know the real answer!"
