Go to the trial on time every afternoon, come back with a tired body in the evening to summarize experience and rest, concentrate on honing your skills the next morning, and then set off with high morale.
For half a month, Chris lived a fulfilling life every day.
But the progress of the trial was not very smooth.
He has passed the tests of James, dwarves and elves, but got stuck in the pool guarded by the Naga tribe.
This Naga tribe from the Eastern Islands also uses long knives as their usual weapon.
The tall body and four-arm racial characteristics allow it to have a large attack range; and the long snake tail allows it to move quickly in the pool, and can often strike with a knife from extremely tricky angles, making it difficult to move in the water.
Rees is impossible to guard against and cannot avoid.
It can be said that the Naga tribe has an advantage in both strength and terrain.
Chris has been defeated for five consecutive days and has many scars on his body.
Fortunately, Naga did not kill him, and the four long knives used were all specially made, and the blades were deliberately blunted. This saved Chris from bleeding heavily or having his hands and feet amputated.
So far, the most serious injury he suffered was when he was slapped hard on the chest by Naga's snake tail. The bones were not broken, but he vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
James, who couldn't stand it, even persuaded him to give up the trial altogether.
After all, he doesn't need to prove anything to the Einske family.
But Chris thanked him for his kindness and still went to accept the ravages of the Naga tribe every day, and he also planned to stay in this level for another ten days.
Even if there is a chance to get the wooden sign to pass the level, he will pretend not to see it.
Because he wants to steal his master.
In the isolated Eton Territory, Sion was the only one who had reached the peak level of a warrior, which also resulted in the teaching he received being very one-sided. Moreover, Sion used a mace, but his weapon was a long knife, and some
Sion cannot teach the skills at all. Just like the craftsmen who make wine and rye, they both know the basic principles of winemaking, but their respective specialized skills and experiences are very different.
Now, he finally met a Naga who also uses a long sword, and he is still a half-step strong man who will not kill him. If he doesn't learn the skills secretly now, it will be worse! If it weren't for the trial,
There was only one month left, and he had to set aside five days to break through the level guarded by the beast. He wanted to stay in the pool for several months.
However, the Nagas are a little impatient.
Because it gradually discovered that Chris, who came to challenge, seemed to have no intention of taking the wooden cards, and during the attack, it also used its fighting skills from the previous day.
This situation of learning and selling now makes it very annoying.
The Ainske family hired it here to test the family's younger generations, but they didn't pay a commission for teaching skills!
What makes it even more irritated is that it has no suitable reason to refuse this shameless guy's trial.
So, feeling uneasy, it started to attack slowly and became heavier.
On the 21st day, when he saw Chris using the "flicking knife to tease" technique, he finally couldn't help but directly slashed Chris's ribs hard with the back of the knife. The bones were not broken, but
Chris couldn't even lift his hands for a long time, and a normal person would be unable to use force without rest for ten or eight days after suffering such an injury.
If you can’t refuse, then I’ll make it impossible for you to challenge!
This is the way it came up with.
However, it's a pity.
On the afternoon of the twenty-second day, he saw the stubborn young man again.
"If you dare to come down today, I swear in the name of Poseidon, I will break your hands and feet!"
Just when Chris was about to get into the pool, all four of its arms raised long knives and threatened him fiercely in poor common language.
"Oh well."
In response, Chris just replied lightly and jumped into the pool with a splash.
This also made Naga completely helpless.
And it also knows that if Chris's limbs are really broken, although the Ainske family will not be offended or held accountable, they will definitely hire a Naga to replace themselves...
Because it is not an irrational beast, it cannot commit such acts of massacre.
The most important thing is that it began to appreciate the young man in front of it.
There are not many young people with tenacity like this who are not discouraged by defeat, never let go of a bond, and hone their skills despite being injured. No matter what race they are, they all deserve to be treated well.
Especially since it itself was once young.
Of course, this appreciation can only make it a little gentler, but the anger of being annoyed every day still needs to be vented.
Time passed slowly between the pain of being beaten and the joy of stealing. On the twenty-fifth day of the trial, he was covered in wounds. Before leaving, Chris solemnly bowed to the Naga tribe to thank him.
.
This also caught the Naga tribe a little off guard, and they stared blankly at his back as he turned and left.
But soon, it found this annoying guy coming back.
"Sorry, I forgot."
He said this with a smile, put the long knife on the side, jumped into the pool, and swam straight over to get the wooden sign that symbolized passing the test here.
The red wooden sign is next to Naga.
But it didn't stop, and just watched quietly as Chris took it away.
"Thank you for your generous teachings these days."
When Chris landed on the shore and picked up the long knife, he gave Naga another smile and said, "I won't come back tomorrow. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Naga responded silently.
It wasn't until Chris' back was about to disappear that he shouted loudly.
"Humans who walk on two legs, your knife is too long and too bulky! If you want to fully utilize my knife-wielding skills, then change it!"
Its lingua franca is still difficult to pronounce.
But it is as warm as the early summer sunshine.
Chris, who returned to his small courtyard, had a hasty dinner and then began to write letters to his family.
Xion will be on his way back to Eaton Territory tomorrow!
He wanted to assure his grandfather Henry Sr. and his father Kafka that they were safe, and to inform them of the choice he had made.
And for the first time, he made suggestions on family affairs.
James had invited him to the courtyard for dinner several times these days, and he also took the opportunity to ask Anastasia about the popularity of ironwood arrows among the elves. After learning that ironwood arrows were lighter than steel and had straight grains,
Since wood was the only arrow shaft material that the elves could use as shadowless arrows, he thought that ironwood arrow shafts could be added to the caravan supplies. Because if the elves came forward to negotiate, those greedy dwarves would pay a lot of money.
Sell the weapons to the Eaton family at a low price.
Regardless of whether the Eaton family uses it for themselves or sells it to the demihuman tribe, it is a very cost-effective deal.
After writing the letter home, he fell asleep.
He had suffered a lot of injuries these days. Although they were not serious injuries, they were enough to make him exhausted. So he also planned to rest for three days and recover a little from his injuries before challenging the final level of the trial.
As for only two days, can you successfully pass the test of being guarded by wild beasts~~
He doesn't care.
As James said, he doesn't need to prove anything to the Einske family.
He just needs to always remember what he wants and do his best on the path he chooses.
Oh, right.
During this time, there is one little thing worth mentioning.
The little girl Amelia's name for him has changed from big bad guy to big brother.
The reason was that when she was carried to Chris's small yard by her sister, she felt aggrieved and wanted to return the Loki Daran Wolf Fang Pendant to Chris. Chris, who couldn't bear to watch the little girl cry, officially handed over the Wolf Fang.
The pendant was used as a substitute for the ironwood arrows, so it was very successful in letting the little girl clear up her past feud and gain her friendship.
A very speechless friendship.
Every morning, when Chris was honing his knife skills alone in the yard, she would come uninvited with a bow and arrow, using Chris as a human target for archery practice.
In this regard, Chris could only lament that the Lokidaran wolves were not only ferocious in life, but also found it difficult to accept the friendship they exchanged for their canine teeth...
Atwood Teutonic, who made the Wolf Fang Pendant, did not know about such complaints.
But even if he knew it, he couldn't refute it, because he had now crossed the Teutonic homeland and was walking on the northern grasslands.
