Locke laughed, and everyone on Zero Wing also laughed, but there was mist in their eyes. Nelson and Silk shouted: "Bastard, we will be lonely, you bastard."
"Eat well, you little brat!"
The old lady Anne looked at them kindly, Kelly also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes under her black robe, but Lei Zhe smiled bitterly and said: "What a bunch of idiots, men should say goodbye silently!"
God knows, he cried the most sadly when he was talking to Maureen just now.
Leng Yi stood up, turned his head silently and walked forward.
In the calendar year 761, Leng Yi began to appear on the world stage.
The three major gifted academies were founded by the royal families of the three countries. They only recruit 18-year-old adult students. As long as they pass the assessment, they can be trained by the gifted academies. After graduation, they can be valued by the royal family, and some can even hold official positions.
, he got rid of his status as a commoner and became a nobleman.
When it comes to the Talent Academy, we have to mention the four major private associations. The Mercenary Association that hunts dangerous species and completes various entrusted tasks, the Thieves Association that is good at inquiring about information and has the highest intelligence network on the mainland, and the Thieves Association that specializes in spiritual arts and
The invented Soul Master Association, and the Assassin Association, which mysteriously knows various assassination techniques. Although the royal family does not admit it, the Talent Academy was indeed established to balance the four major folk associations. There are many strong people among these four major organizations, and the royal family
It is impossible to turn a blind eye. If civilian organizations are too strong, the authority of the royal family may be threatened.
This is how the Talent Institute was born. With the heavy financial assistance from the royal family, they have the strongest teaching level. Many of them are teachers who have risen from the folk to become legendary figures, in order to attract the new generation of young people on the mainland to enter the Talent Academy.
The purpose of the royal family in doing this is to control the new generation of strong men in their own country. Even if they do not join the national army in the future and flow into various associations, they will still remember the favor that the royal family has shown them and will not easily compete with them.
Royal Confrontation.
Generation after generation, the Tiantian Academy has been established for more than 200 years. Most of the legendary strong men and heroes on the mainland came from the Tiantian Academy. The royal family uses their political methods to manage and control these private organizations.
Why have we been living in peace for so many years?
The reason why the Talent Academy attracts young people from the Cardenas continent is that on the one hand it has strong teaching standards, various martial arts and soul skills, fighting methods and strategic theories, and on the other hand it is the dream god established by the Talent Academy.
The environment can forcibly unlock human potential and unlock talents. These two aspects are fatal temptations for anyone. Generally speaking, talents can be unlocked on their own. But this kind of ability gifted by God is unclear.
For unclear things, some people may have talents, but they will never be able to open them in their lifetime. The dream realm of the Talent Institute can force you to open it. Of course, there are probably only ten thousand people on this continent who have talents.
One, even rarer.
If human beings are God's darlings, then gifted people are God's highest masterpieces. They have abilities that ordinary people don't have. They have abilities that are above ordinary power, and they have powerful abilities that can change this continent. They are
One in a million, they are the leaders of this era.
Leng Yi wants to enter the Felix Talent Academy. The reason why he chose this country is because this country is not as militarized as the Empire and not as chaotic as the Republic. More importantly, the Kingdom of Felice has the highest reputation on the continent.
Technology and airships are their masterpieces.
Only those who are 18 years old are eligible to enter the Talent Academy. Leng Yi passed his 18th birthday yesterday and officially entered adulthood. When it is time to accept the assessment of the Talent Academy, Maureen is 2 years older than him. Although he has passed the Talent Academy
There are assessment standards, but she is a soul master and can enter one of the three major academies without assessment. The profession of soul master is equally rare for talented people.
There is a completely opposite difference between the spiritual power cultivated by a soul master and the fighting spirit of force. It cannot be obtained by continuously strengthening the body. It requires a special feeling, a sixth sense beyond the five senses. For a soul master,
Said, this is not a talent.
But the strange thing is that the soul masters on the mainland are basically women. Men also exist, but they are very rare. Once there is a male soul master, he will definitely be a top powerhouse. This is very strange. There have been many studies so far.
The soul masters of the soul arts have cited many examples and various research materials, but they still cannot answer this question. This has also become one of the top ten unsolved mysteries on the mainland.
After Leng Yi said goodbye to "Zero Wing" yesterday, he and Maureen went to Feikang City, the royal capital. Leng Yi has followed "Zero Wing" in the past few years and spent most of his time in the empire. The empire is in the north and is very cold. The kingdom
In the middle of the Republic in the south and the Empire in the north, although snow is not often seen, the temperature is not very high either.
Felice's Gifted Academy is not within the capital, but more than a hundred kilometers outside the capital. However, the annual recruitment of students is held within the capital. Leng Yi can feel it as soon as he steps into the capital.
of prosperity.
Although the "Zero Wing" Sky Pirates belong to the Revolutionary Army, no, they should now be called a small force of the Chione Snow Kingdom, the crimes they committed in the Empire have not been eliminated, and the Empire's wanted orders are still all over the country.
On the mainland, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Lei Zhe dropped Leng Yi and Mo Lin fifty kilometers away from the royal capital, so Leng Yi and Mo Lin felt that it was already night in the royal capital.
Although it is night, the lights all over the street illuminate the flat bluestone pavement as if it were daytime. The Royal Capital is very lively at night. Pedestrians are walking back and forth on the street, and many shops are selling. People gather in front of these shops.
There were a lot of guests coming in and out.
The Philistines were all extremely gorgeous in their costumes, with all kinds of brightly colored clothes matched together, making them colorful and dazzling. The mercenaries kept entering the taverns on the street to have drinks with others, and the women bowed their heads to their friends.
They talked about their recent interesting stories and peeked at a certain noble man from time to time, making a few cute laughs.
Soldiers patrolled back and forth to ensure the security of the royal capital. Occasionally, luxury carriages would pass by, and the people sitting on them were either rich or noble. Most of them were local nobles, and there were even people in various professional attires who hurriedly shuttled through the crowd.
中.Busy about their own affairs and tasks.
The wealth and aristocratic people on this continent, the dignitaries, the beautiful star-studded sky, and the bustling streets with unique shops and buildings all seem to be concentrated in this prosperous royal capital, making you excited and intoxicating.
Leng Yi held Maureen's hand and walked in a daze among the sea of people. He kept discussing what he saw and heard with Maureen. His admiring look as if he had never seen the world before, as if he had just entered the world.
A country boy from the city.
As soon as Maureen entered the royal capital, she became very excited. She kept picking out her favorite jewelry on the street. After a while, she asked Leng Yi whether this one looked better or that one. Leng Yi nodded with a smile, why is Maureen so beautiful?
Everything looks good.
Maureen's beauty and figure constantly attract the attention of the men around her. Maureen enjoys this kind of attention. She is not shy at all as a girl should. Girls always have vanity and little thoughts to attract more attention to themselves.
Leng Yi was also very satisfied with this look. When the men looked at Maureen, Leng Yi whispered to Maureen from time to time and made a few intimate gestures. This made the jealous eyes of the surrounding men almost burst into flames.
After helping Maureen choose the jewelry she liked, Leng Yi paid the money, and Maureen happily kissed Leng Yi on the cheek. She walked out under the jealous eyes of the men around her.
As Leng Yi walked, he smiled bitterly at Maureen behind him and said, "Are you planning to kill me? Didn't you see that the eyes of those people just now were ready to eat me alive?"...
Maureen was putting the hairpin she just bought on her head, completely ignoring what Leng Yi said. She just asked him: "Does it look good?"
Leng Yi nodded and sighed helplessly. Then he said: "It looks good. Everything you carry looks good."
Maureen patted Leng Yi's back carelessly and said with a smile: "Oh, when did my little Leng Yi become so glib? It seems that the girls in the capital are going to suffer."
Then Maureen said in a sour tone: "Don't think that I don't know why the three gifted academies chose Felice. Isn't it because of your kind of dream girl, the little princess Shana?"
A few drops of sweat broke out on Leng Yi's forehead. No wonder all men say that women are naturally jealous. No, just because of what he said, Maureen can think of this opposite. However, Leng Yi is still looking forward to Xia Na.
Those who have seen her, after all, have not seen each other for almost three years, and don’t know what has become of her.
Leng Yi was thinking about this and didn't pay attention to the front. He bumped into a person without realizing it. He was thin and about 15 years old. He was only as tall as Leng Yi's shoulders. The man fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.
He looked up at Leng Yi.
Leng Yi smiled the moment he hit him, but the smile lasted only a moment. He quickly changed his expression, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"
The little boy sitting on the ground looked at Leng Yi in confusion, then he stood up, ignored him, and then walked away humming a song.
Maureen wondered: "He is just a rude child."
Leng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "He did it on purpose, but he just stole the chicken and lost the rice."
Only then did Maureen realize that there was an extra wallet in Leng Yi's hand, which was filled with gold coins. Needless to say, she knew that it must belong to the little boy just now.
Leng Yi's stealing skills were taught by Nelson. The little boy just bumped into Leng Yi deliberately just to steal his wallet, but Leng Yi's technique was faster than him. Before he could react, Leng Yi had already taken the lead.
He took his wallet back and even threw the little boy's wallet over.
Maureen burst out laughing and said with a bitter smile: "Leng Yi, isn't it good for you to bully a child like this?"
Leng Yi padded the wallet in his hand and said as he walked: "I'll teach that guy a lesson this time. Okay, it's getting late. Let's go find a tavern first. We will take the assessment in a few days."
"..."
In a quiet alley, the little boy who had just been stolen by Leng Yi was sitting on a corpse, playing with the toy in his hand. If you could look closely, it was a human heart, and the corpse
It was extremely terrifying. The skin on his body was pulled off violently, and his internal organs were shattered on the ground.
A woman next to the little boy kept vomiting and complained: "Zero, although they are evil thieves, your bad taste is really disgusting."
The little boy casually put the human heart to his mouth and took a bite. The strange moonlight shone on him. The little boy showed a sneer.
"Teacher, I'm sorry. That's because I'm not in a good mood."
"Remember that white-haired bastard who stole my wallet. Stealing is a bad behavior, so you have to..."
"The ones who are being punished."
Leng Yi and Maureen stayed at a tavern on the street that night. When he left, Lei Zhe gave him a bag of gold coins, so there was no need to worry about money for the time being.
Leng Yi was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, thinking about what he should do to pass the boring time in the week before the exam began. Let's hunt dangerous species, just in time to practice his skills. Leng Yi thought in his heart
.
He began to fantasize about what his talent was. Except for Maureen, all members of the "Zero Wing" Sky Pirates were talented. This was one of the reasons why Zero Wing only had 7 people, but could become the most elite force in the Snow Country.
I have to admit that it is indeed much easier for talented people to become stronger than non-talented people, but it is not that there have never been unparalleled strong men without talents on the mainland. For example, Felix's heroic swordsman - Canidick, once appeared in the Kingdom.
In the "Hundred Days Battle" with the Empire, he was alone on a small airship, cutting off all communication equipment between the enemies with one person and one sword. Then he commanded the Royal Army to win in that "Hundred Days Battle"
.
Canidick became famous in one battle and received the exclusive title of Swordsman, Saint. However, there are only ten people on the mainland who have received the exclusive title of Swordsman. Leng Yi saw this knowledge in Time Magazine. Among these ten people, only Canidick
Dick is a non-talented person. Leng Yi happens to know one of the other nine, and that is Locke, who is also his teacher and friend.
Sword Emperor Locke is the youngest swordsman to receive an exclusive title. At only 25 years old, Sword Emperor Locke is already famous in three countries, and was called a genius rarely seen in mainland China in a century by Time Magazine.
Leng Yi fantasized that one day he would get his own exclusive title. As he thought about it, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and after a while, he had a sweet dream.
In the early morning, the sun shone on Leng Yi. He rubbed his eyes, got up and washed himself. After dressing himself up in front of the mirror, he shouldered the broken sword given to him by Locke and walked out of the room.
Regarding this broken sword, although Locke unilaterally said that it was a so-called artifact, Leng Yi had been carrying it with him for these years, but he could not feel the magical energy of this broken sword at all. However,
It doesn't matter, at least it's sharper than an ordinary giant sword.
Leng Yi thought about this and walked up to the first floor. He was about to ask the tavern where the mercenary association in the royal capital was. Maureen had been waiting for him under the tavern for a long time. However, as soon as he arrived on the first floor, he saw a
A familiar figure.
Golden hair and pupils, a typical Philistine, and baby-like white skin. Because the skin is too fair, you can't even see a little blood, giving people a pale feeling. He is petite. Leng Yi's visual inspection is that he is only tall.
On his shoulder, he had this strange tattoo on his face. It was a black scorpion. The scorpion's tail surrounded his left eye, which looked extremely weird.
Leng Yi was looking at him, and Ling looked up just in time to see him. The two of them exclaimed in unison: "How could it be you!!"
Leng Yi remembered this little boy. Isn't this the same little boy who tried to steal his wallet yesterday, but had his wallet stolen by him? It's really not like enemies never get together.
Ling looked at Leng Yi and walked over with his neck tilted. Leng Yi looked at Ling up and down, but Ling stretched out a hand and said, "Sir, did you steal my wallet yesterday?"
The villain complained first, and Leng Yi said with a smile: "Kid, are you mistaken? You want to steal my wallet, but you're just not as good as others."
After Leng Yi finished speaking, he walked straight in the direction of Maureen. He didn't want to pay attention to this brat at all.
Ling was thinking behind Leng Yi. He seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and asked, "What do you mean, you don't plan to return."
Ling, who was speaking, suddenly jumped up, rushed towards Leng Yi in the air, and punched Leng Yi with his right hand. Leng Yi did not look back, and raised his right fist to block the punch!
Leng Yi turned his head and said coldly: "Even if you are a child, you cannot attack others at will."
Not a bad reaction, Zero thought in his mind, then he laughed, his expression became a little excited and said: "Sir, this is punishment, try it and see if you can block the next punch!"
Then his left fist came out, and Leng Yi easily blocked it with his hand. However, even though he had blocked it, Leng Yi felt an invisible pressure that hit him like a storm. His whole body flew out and he was knocked down.
There was a sound of hard objects hitting the wall.
Maureen was also shocked. Since this little boy took action out of nowhere, and he also beat Leng Yi away?
Ling walked slowly to the place where Leng Yi fell, and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. wallet thief, you won't die like this, will you?"
Maureen stood up and was about to go over to help, but Leng Yi's voice sounded again: "Don't move, Maureen, this is my battle."
Leng Yi stood up unsteadily, twisted his neck, and made a creaking sound of muscles shaking all over his body. He smiled bitterly and said: "I am really unlucky. I didn't expect that the first battle in the capital would turn out to be a talented person.
.”
"Oh? The gentleman who stole the wallet turned out to be a swordsman."
Ling saw the giant sword behind Leng Yi, and after muttering, he ran out again, his figure was very fast, and in the blink of an eye he saw him appearing in front of Leng Yi, his fist fell again, Leng Yi acted defensively,
The moment Ling swung his fist, Leng Yi saw a huge arm appearing on the right side of Ling's right fist, and he had just been knocked away by this huge arm.
To put it bluntly, Leng Yi had just blocked the attack, but was still knocked away. This is also the reason. This is Zero's talent, a concrete talent. (.)
