It was late at night, and Link and Baal were already fast asleep, but the dark red fire in the blacksmith shop was still on, and Bawell's iron tower-like figure was still standing in front of the fire as usual.
However, in order not to make too much noise, what he held in his hand was no longer a big hammer, but a sword blank, which he was trimming in detail.
"No, boss." Starr, who was standing next to Bawel, still held the bottle in his hand, but his eyes were not as drunk as usual. Instead, he showed a rare sparkle.
Mang glared at Bavel: "You really asked Link to take this job? I listened to what Vidoya said. It's probably not going to be easy for them to go to the Sakara Empire this time!"
"You have to leave even if it's not easy." Pavel looked at the semi-formed sword in his hand, trimming off small parts of it, and said slowly in his usual calm tone: "Let's go."
It was Link's own decision to take the path of knighthood, and didn't you firmly support him at that time?"
"It's just us two brothers now." Star took a sip of wine and shouted in a higher tone: "I say, boss, can you stop being so cool?! Aren't you tired of talking like this all the time?!"
"I said, can you please lower your voice?" Baweier raised his head and glared at him: "I don't care what time it is now!"
Star was stunned for a moment, watching Bavel lower his head again to play with the sword that was gradually taking shape in his hand, and then said with a wry smile: "Boss, I'm really convinced by you, you really don't have any
Worry?!"
He and Bawell have been brothers in life and death for so many years. No matter what kind of things he encounters, Bawell still maintains such an unhurried tone and expression, and it will never be clear to people what his innermost feelings are.
What kind of attitude he has, he has long been used to it, but he always feels that this time is different. Why is it that Link, who is very likely to be in danger this time, is Bavel's only son, but he really is.
Unexpectedly, he, the boss, was as calm and composed as ever, without even showing the slightest hint of worry.
"What's the use of worrying. To become a real knight, the road is destined to be uneven." Bavel looked at Starr and smiled: "Besides, Link can survive in that battle this time."
Escaped and achieved such great achievements, now I think it is probably not a fluke. This kid, hey, Starr, don't underestimate his strength."
"Oh? Link's strength?" Starr frowned slightly, his eyes lit up: "This kid doesn't even have the most basic fighting spirit. I have been wondering how this kid can fight in that place.
He broke in, boss, have you tested him personally? Is the swordsmanship taught to him by his mentor Calvin really that powerful?!"
Due to the promise made in the Mage Tower, Link concealed some of the real information about the Mage Tower, but for other things, except for some things that he was afraid would cause the Big Daddy and Little Daddy to worry, he still told the truth.
He clearly told Bavel and Starr about his big daddy and little daddy, especially about mentor Calvin who had such a great influence on him, as well as about the mysterious swordsman and swordsmanship.
Although this swordsman and swordsmanship passed down by Master Calvin are also legendary things like the Mage Tower, it’s just that although Master Calvin kept it mysterious in the past three years, when he finally left
He probably forgot about it because he left in such a hurry, and the old perverts in the Mage Tower didn't tell him to keep this a secret. Of course, it doesn't matter if Link talks about this to Big Daddy and Little Daddy now.
Need to conceal.
After all, Link also understands very well that although his eldest father and little daddy have not said anything, Link can also clearly feel that his eldest father and little daddy have spent all these years for some unknown reason.
He worried so much about his affairs that Link could clearly see the extra white hair on the heads of Big Daddy and Little Daddy.
To become a true knight, the current training has just begun. Both Link and Bawell know this very clearly. Therefore, Link cannot let people feel any fluctuations in fighting spirit.
, of course, you should also let your big daddy know some of your strength to your little daddy. You can't let them think that they can make their way in the world just by relying on half-baked magic that they don't know where.
"Well, I haven't had time to test him myself yet, but" Pavel nodded, shook his head, and showed a rare hesitant look, and said, "I think... this kid should
It’s not that simple…”
"Should?!" Star was stunned for a moment and looked thoughtful: "Boss, are you saying that you can't feel the fluctuations in Link's fighting spirit because this kid is two levels higher than us? How is this possible?
We are all already..."
"Yeah, it's a bit impossible." Pavel looked at Star's shocked expression and knew what he was thinking. He also frowned and recounted his experience that day, saying, "I planned to teach him that day.
When he was fighting, there was indeed no fighting spirit in his body, but this kid's current body structure definitely didn't look like a guy without fighting spirit. So I felt a little strange at the time, so I made a move to this kid.
A little test attack..."
"What's the result?!" Starr also became nervous and kept a close eye on Pavel.
"The result?" Pavel obviously remembered what he saw that day, and shook his head with a wry smile: "That grudge attack was swallowed up by the energy that suddenly appeared from that kid before it had time to hit that kid.
It happened, and the energy was uncontrollable and exploded all of a sudden, almost causing disaster to me..."
"No, that kid is so powerful?" Starr muttered in disbelief, but then he looked thoughtful: "Can't control it? You mean..."
"Well", Bavel nodded, looking at Star's expression, a smile appeared on his lips: "But don't worry, although little guy Link can't use this power flexibly, but
Obviously, this energy played a protective role on him, and the little guy was definitely not completely unable to control it. At least after he discovered that the energy almost swallowed me, he was able to control it in time.
Take it back."
"Devouring you?" Starr was startled: "Boss, are you kidding? What level of power is that? Even the top powerhouse on the continent can defeat you in such a short time.
Improbable, right? Could it be that your skills have started to deteriorate at such a young age?"
"No," Baweier still answered in a serious manner. He seemed to have remembered what happened that night, with a very strange look on his face and said, "Before I encountered that energy in person,
I can't believe it. With the intensity of the energy that emerged from this boy's body that day, I don't know what level it should be. But even the ninth-level powerhouses we have seen on the mainland probably don't have it.
How much room for resistance there is.”
Star felt that his heart was really shocked today. The shocking news came one after another. For many years, the ninth-level powerhouses on the mainland were the pinnacle of the powerhouses on the mainland. Naturally, there were strong people among them.
There is a difference between the degree of weakness, but compared to other strong people, it is undoubtedly a head above the rest. If he hadn't known that Baweier has always been a person who says one thing and two things,
I'm afraid that no matter what, I can't believe that such a situation will really happen.
However, he shook his head, but before his heartbeat could start, he had already thought of another question. He couldn't help but frown, and said worriedly: "If there is such an energy in this boy's body that is at least the ninth level, what will happen to him?"
Will there be no problem?"
"I don't know either." Bavel sighed softly for the first time. He thought for a while and then said: "But although this kid has no fighting spirit in his body and doesn't have much magic energy, if you walk from him,
You should be able to tell from the posture of sitting or lying down or drawing the sword during practice. This guy is quite good at precise control of energy. The swordsmanship taught to him by instructor Calvin is really quite good.
Doorway stuff.”
"Well, if that's the case, I can feel more at ease." Starr let out a long breath. He picked up the wine bottle in his hand and took a big sip. The original slight smile appeared on his face again.
With a joking expression: "The swordsmanship passed down before the war of the ancient gods sounds very cool. When I get a chance, I have to find that boy to give it a try!"
"I'm afraid you have to wait until next time." Bawell looked at the dark night outside the shop: "Link will go to Victoria's place tomorrow, and they will set off early the day after tomorrow."
"If this kid can use an ability comparable to that of a ninth-level powerhouse, even if he can only use it non-actively, it should be enough for him to defend himself." Starr also followed Bawell's gaze and looked at the blacksmith's shop, Castle Castle.
Hei Ye frowned and said: "Boss, you didn't ask him clearly where did this kid's energy come from? From the experiences he mentioned, it seems..."
"I didn't ask." Pavel smiled and turned around and said, "When he can explain clearly, he will explain it clearly to us. Link, this boy, has never talked to you more than to me. This is
Don’t you know him yet?!”
"This kid actually dared to hide it from me this time." Starda also laughed when Bawell said this. He is not as calm as Bawell on weekdays. Compared to Bawell, Lin
This active boy did play more with him. Although Link hadn't been back for a long time this time, Star, who had just watched him grow up, could certainly tell that even though this boy had grown up, he still had a lot of fun.
He has matured, but in terms of his nature, he is still the same playful little guy. He has not been changed by the experiences of the past few years. This makes Starr feel very gratified, and he finally laughed easily: "
Next time I come back, I have to give him a good beating!"
"Boss", Starr took a sip of wine, stood next to Bawell quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "Anyway, I haven't gone out for a long time, so why not just follow that kid this time?"
Coming later..."
"You seem to be worried about their move?" Bavel frowned: "Why?!"
"I don't know why, but I always have a very bad feeling these days." Starr sighed softly: "Link's mission this time may not go so smoothly."
"The imperial royal family, who looks like a princess, would actually adopt such a sneaky itinerary." Starr looked at Bawell, frowned and said, "Boss, I always feel that the problem here is not that simple."
"Isn't this your reason?" Baweier looked at Starr and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you feel?!"
Bavel's previous experience made him perhaps more familiar with the characteristics of the imperial royal family than those close ministers who thought they were staying in the imperial capital. Therefore, although the little princess appeared very suddenly that day, she was also very familiar with it.
The veil was taken off unexpectedly, but from her clothes and some unbreakable habits in her actions, words and deeds, Bavel could still clearly identify her identity.
It was at that time that Pavel vaguely understood what Victoria was worried about, but these things did not cause any trouble to him. In Pavel's view, Victoria was in that turbid world.
He has been in Baweier's circle for too long, and he has become too accustomed to the current life, so some of Victoria's thinking patterns will inevitably sometimes follow the boring and boring intrigues of those imperial officials in Baweier.
way to think about it.
Bavel has never found the political struggles that Victoria was worried about to be difficult to deal with. As a true knight, he only knows that what he does is to protect the glory of the empire and the safety of its citizens.
There are other things that a knight should not ask or think about. He should finish what he should do and then walk away if he feels unhappy. In Bavel's view, this is what a true knight should do.
, or what a real man should do.
Bavel believed that Link would make the same choice as him when faced with the same situation. After all, the same blood bleeds in their bodies.
But Bawell had to be cautious about what Starr said. At that time, they were the most secret armed force of the Emperor Bavaria. Each of them had some special abilities that even they themselves could not explain clearly, and Starr
In addition to being good at mechanism skills, his special ability is that he has an almost premonition intuition about the dangers that people around him are about to encounter. Although this intuition is often vague and not too clear, but for a group of people,
For people who lived in dangerous battles all day long, it is self-evident how useful such a premonition of danger was.
"The feeling of danger this time is very strange. I wasn't very clear about what it was for at first, but now I understand a little bit." Starr said with a rare solemn look on his face: "If you follow what you just said,
As it is said, Link now has the ability to protect himself compared to the ninth-level powerhouses in the United States. There are really not many people who can harm him. The top powerhouses on the mainland are not so boring as to do this for such a trivial matter.
Being in trouble with a little guy like Link, so I think there is only one reason that can bring about this strange and strong feeling of danger."
"It's them." Star suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing a look of disgust and a little fear: "It's those monsters. This time Link goes, I'm afraid the real enemy is not anything else, but
Know those things that have seen ghosts!"
"Boss, don't forget." Starr took a sip of wine and regained his original look on his face: "This time they went to the Sakara Empire, that ghost place... hum..."
"I think it's better for me to follow this little guy and go on the road with them." Star looked at Baweier who was still silent, and then said: "You also know that those monsters are difficult to deal with. If
One can’t handle it well…”
"No need!" Bavel sighed and finally spoke, but his words were decisive. He turned his head and looked at Starr: "Just let this little guy go out on his own. Mr. Lu still has to let him go.
He left on his own!"
"Then at least, we should tell that little guy something about those monsters." Starr was still a little worried and said to Bawell: "You still need some experience to fight those things..."
"Those experiences were gained by countless of our brothers using their blood in the past." Bavel looked at Star and said, "Let Link use his own blood to fight and fight back!"
"You also know that this boy Link will probably go down the same path as us sooner or later. Why did you have to force me to find Victoria and let this boy sneak into the knight team?" Ba Wei
Er smiled at Star, made a rare joke, and asked: "Isn't it?"
"Okay!" Skar looked at Pavel for a while, then shook his head depressedly. He was also a soldier who had experienced countless ups and downs. Of course he knew what Pavel meant. No matter how valuable the battle was,
Experience must also be tempered in real battles to develop one's own fighting instincts before they can be used. Their previous fighting teams also experienced this.
"Haha, time flies so fast." Skar looked at the gradually fading night outside and sighed softly. It's not that he didn't understand what Bawel meant, but he just cared too much about Link.
It was only after Bavel's repeated reminders that he truly realized that Link was no longer the ignorant boy who followed him around.
He has grown into a real knight. He smiled with emotion and said: "This era should belong to this boy and his friends!"
"But, boss", he took a big sip of wine, returned to his original cynical expression, and said to Bavel: "You are really capable, just to make Link a real knight,
Are you really willing to let your son fight those monsters?!"
"This is not for any knights, or even for the empire. There has to be someone to fight those monsters." Bavel also sighed and said to Star: "To put it bluntly, this should be for human beings."
dignity!"
"I also have a hunch, believe me." Bawell stretched out his big hand, pressed Star's shoulder, looked at the backyard, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "No matter what kind of situation we encounter, Link will
Boy, you can still do it!"
Star followed Bavel's eyes and looked over, but he only heard Link and Baal snoring one after another as if they were competing.
"Human dignity," Skar looked at the helpless Pavel, smiled and shrugged: "If you say it can be done, then it can be done!"
