Not just because he only reserved two days for the final level.
Especially because after he entered the Colosseum and saw the ferocious beast that had been raised to be fat and strong, he knew that he would not be able to pass this level.
On the ice fields of the Alps, he has dealt with too many ferocious beasts, and has been driven away by ferocious beasts more than once!
His rich experience made him give up without even giving it a try.
His mother hoped that he would not lack courage no matter what difficulties he faced, but she did not ask him to seek death even when he knew he was outmatched.
He can clearly distinguish the difference between recklessness and bravery.
Moreover, three days of rest was not long enough to heal the wounds left by the Naga clan on his body.
He doesn't need to prove anything to the Einske family, so there is no need to show off to avoid leaving hidden dangers to his body.
Of course, James would not miss the opportunity to tease him about this.
But when his grandfather, Archbishop Raphael, found out about it, he praised him, "It is rare for someone at this age to be able to face up to his own shortcomings and curb his youthful and frivolous vanity."
Chris, who won praise, also had an additional opponent in the morning training.
Following Raphael all the time was a stereotypical middle-aged man holding an ordinary long knife.
For this middle-aged man, Chris only knew that he did not have the surname Einsick, but that all Einsicks except Raphael had to treat him with courtesy.
Even James' father, Lange, who takes charge of the power of the Einske family on his behalf, is no exception.
Raphael didn't say the middle-aged man's name.
Just early one morning, he suddenly walked into the small courtyard with a middle-aged man and said to Chris, "Dear little Chris, he will teach you how to fight every morning from now on."
This middle-aged man did not introduce himself.
Just come as scheduled every morning and stay in Chris's small yard for an hour.
He never paid attention to politeness. When he came in, he slashed directly at Chris with the knife in its scabbard, knocking the young man down repeatedly, and then left without hesitation.
This situation lasted for ten days.
And this middle-aged man spoke to Chris three times.
The first time was like this: "Use all your strength to treat me as an sworn enemy. For example, imagine that I led someone to ambush your mother Avril."
This made Chris vaguely guess his strength: strong.
The second time the words were shorter, "Don't just get beaten, see clearly how I exert my strength."
The third time I said goodbye, "Everyone is unique. You have roughly reached the threshold, and you can find a path that suits you."
Then the two people never met again.
But in just ten days, Chris felt that he had benefited a lot.
Because Xian's teachings let him learn how to save his life, the half-powerful Naga tribe let him secretly learn a lot of knife-wielding skills, and this expressionless middle-aged man let him know how to use swords.
The complex is simplified, and the fighting skills can be freely retracted.
When his teaching ends, it also means that it is time for Chris to leave Edin City.
Yes, it's time for Chris to leave.
He has made a choice on behalf of the Eaton family, and Ainske has also given him a lot of help based on his blood ties. It is time for him to go on his own in the future.
Moreover, he also wanted to complete the test left by his mother Avril.
Living up to his mother's hope and one day returning to the Eaton Territory as a strong man to protect his family is his lifelong goal.
After packing his bags and saying goodbye to his grandfather Raphael and everyone he knew, he set out on his way to the dwarf country.
Just like when he came to the south, it was James who sent him out of the city as a landlord.
When leaving the city, James handed over a letter from the Duke of Lange, telling him to give this to the garrison commander at the border of the dwarf country, and someone would take him to find the gold-swallowing beast. He also gave him a small purse containing two gold coins.
Ruby and a dozen gold coins. It is said that Archbishop Raphael specially ordered it so that Chris would not have to worry about the expenses on the road.
But Chris only accepted letters.
Because a ruby is worth five hundred gold coins, and the Eaton family's caravan crosses the mountains to deliver goods to the Lokidaran Mountains, and it seems that it can only earn three hundred gold coins at most for one trip.
His grandfather was so generous that he felt he deserved it.
And today he is leaving the shelter of his elders’ wings to find his own sky. If he can’t even get food with the long knife in his hand, why should he pursue his dream of becoming a strong man?
"Thank you, James."
He patted the purse with only two gold coins and more than ten silver coins through his clothes, "I have money myself, please convey my gratitude to grandpa for me."
"Okay, let's go."
In this regard, James did not insist and just gave him a hug, "Don't forget what my father said."
He was referring to Duke Lange's claim that the Ainske family would always reserve the qualification for Chris to join the Order of the Guardian Knights.
"Goodbye, dear cousin."
Chris gave him a bright smile, mounted the horse and left without looking back.
The horse galloped for a long time, and when the city of Edin behind him turned into a small black dot, he gently pulled the reins of the horse and slowed down the horse and walked slowly.
When he just left the city, he asked James how long it would take for James to kill him if the two of them fought without sparing any effort.
And James' answer made him feel weak.
"Although you have almost touched the threshold of the peak of a warrior, you are still vulnerable to me. Dear little Chris, if I don't spare any effort, you will fall in a pool of blood within three minutes, and even time
Shorter."
No need for three minutes…
Although James is ten years older than him, Chris still cannot accept this result.
This means that he still has a long way to go before becoming strong, but he doesn't have much time left.
The demigods fell, and strife arose again.
He silently recited the prophecies known to the world, and also thought about how to improve his strength as soon as possible.
To be precise, it’s about choosing where to practice.
Because the fastest way to improve your strength is to keep yourself in danger, wandering on the edge of life and death, and use the threat of death to stimulate the rapid growth of your divine veins.
How about I go back to the north after completing Grandma's test and choose the Forest of Death as a place to hone myself?
Based on the friendship that my family has accumulated through many years of trade with the Northern Blood Rock demihumans, they should allow me to use the passage to pass through their territory, right?
Oh, no.
The ice-skeleton lizard that Grandma reserved for testing seems to only live in the forest of death.
If I want to complete the test, I must go back first...
As the horse rode slowly, Chris's mood also fluctuated along with the horse's back.
But soon, he put his thoughts aside because he saw a man standing on his horse on the side of the road ahead.
He is a middle-aged man who has always been with Raphael.
He was still taciturn, but when he saw Chris, he pinched the horse's belly hard, causing the good horse to escape.
"Come with me."
He didn't say where he was going or what he was going to do.
Chris, who was stunned for a moment, hurriedly urged his horse to catch up, "Excuse me, where are you taking me?"
"revenge."
Suddenly, Chris stopped talking and began to feel that the horse's speed was too slow.
Because when he was in Edin City, he asked James privately about the information about his mother's ambush.
James didn't hide anything from him and told everything he knew.
Raphael was already the head of the family when Avril was ambushed. As he controlled half of the south, he would certainly not let go of anyone who dared to ambush his daughter and challenge the authority of the Einske family.
After unremitting efforts, the Ainske family spent eight years and finally found out that the strong man who ambushed Avril came from another Vulcan Privy Archbishop family - because Avril's talent is amazing, if she is given time to become a strong man
, will change the situation where the two families in the south are evenly matched, so that family chose to nip the danger in the bud.
Facing such a result, Raphael was not surprised.
As early as when the incident first happened, he had some vague suspicions.
But he couldn't take revenge immediately.
Because if he wants revenge, he can only wage a war, and wars involving strong men almost always end when one side is completely wiped out.
But the human demigods are still alive!
The Holy Empire is still eyeing the south and wants to turn it into a territory without dukes.
If the two archbishops in the south are at war with each other, the empire will sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers and keep fighting. Once they are both defeated, the Mills royal family will send the griffon army into the south to harvest the fruits of victory.
Let the Vulcan Cult cease to exist.
Perhaps the reason why another archbishop dared to ambush Avril was because he knew that the Einske family would take the overall situation into consideration and would not choose to die together.
In fact, they made the right bet.
Raphael chose to endure it after all.
He began to establish an order of protective knights and waited for the demigod to fall before taking revenge.
However, the Ainske family, unable to launch a war, can still settle accounts with the other people who participated in the ambush.
When the strong man ambushed him, he hired mercenaries from the Middle-earth Plains to clear the air and pretend that it was the Light Sect. After the ambush, these mercenaries also knew what trouble they had gotten into.
To avoid revenge, they chose to break up the gang and disappear by breaking it into pieces.
There are a total of fifteen people still alive. Some have served as low-level officers of the empire, some have gone to the Eastern Islands to be sailors, some have returned home to be farmers, and some have even become soldiers of the Illuminati Temple.
But no matter what their status is, as long as they are not a strong figure that everyone is looking for, the Ainske family can assassinate them without restraint!
The middle-aged man next to Raphael left the south for several years because of this.
He also lived up to the trust of the Einske family and brought back fourteen heads one after another.
As for why the remaining one was not brought back, it is because that person is very cunning and is actually hiding in the south, within the parish belonging to the Einske family!
Raphael decided to let the head live a few more years.
Because at that time, news of Avril's death came from the north.
So he felt that Avril's soul in heaven might want to see another person chop off the fifteenth head.
