In the spacious cafeteria, silver metal tables and chairs fixed to the floor are neatly arranged one by one, and the surrounding white walls are painted with patterns of ducks, apples, and pears.
Students in twos and threes were sitting in front of tables and chairs eating food from their own plates, and some were queuing up at the cafeteria window to take out their plates.
Gallon and Raphael sat opposite each other at the right end of a long table. They each ate the sandwiches on their own plates, dipping the sesame sauce in the middle from time to time, and taking a sip of tomato, potato and beef soup.
There was a faint buzz in the surrounding canteen, and the voices of many people talking bounced back into the empty canteen, mixed with echoes. It felt like I could hear what was being said clearly, but if I listened carefully, it was just a blur.
Garen raised his head and glanced at Raphael opposite.
"You didn't answer my question last time."
"What's the problem?"
"What do you like about me?" Gallon put a piece of apple in his mouth.
"I like everything..." Raphael said calmly, "If I have to say something, it would be that you are good-looking. Wouldn't it be a great honor to take you out?"
"..."
"Then what reason do you want?" Raphael shrugged.
The two of them stopped talking for a while.
Garen felt that this little guy was a little weird. He was obviously a girl, but he had the same personality as a boy.
"Can you tell me what agreement you made with Yi Lian and the others?"
"I can't tell you this." Raphael smiled, "But you just need to know that the power of the oath is unstoppable. This does not only involve me and them."
"Really?" Garen narrowed his eyes. He felt that he might have to go back to Wenwen's parents to learn some secrets about this town. As two people who have lived here for so many years, they should know something more or less.
secret.
This secret is likely to involve issues regarding potential points.
"After dinner, let's go play ball. I have a sister who has made an appointment to wait for me at the stadium. Then you can go and cheer me on." Raphael's clothes were taken as a matter of course.
Jia Long also wanted to get in touch with her more and discover the secrets inside, so he nodded and refused.
After dinner, we went to the court to play basketball for a while. After class in the afternoon, Garen went home together under the protection of Raphael. He was sent to the door of his house by Raphael's insistence, just like a boy would send his girlfriend.
Send Galleons to your home.
Vivien Gallon, who teased Jiao Didi and called her brother for a while at home, finally waited until her parents came home one after another.
In the study room at dusk, Garen left his brother and sister alone, looking alone at his mother who was sitting opposite with a confused look on his face.
"What's the matter? You look so solemn, like a little adult." Mother Teres smiled, stretched out her hand to grab Gallon's face and squeezed it. "Okay, are you being bullied at school?" she said softly.
the voice asked softly.
Shaking his head, Garen avoided his mother's hands that were grabbing at his face.
"Mom, I would like to ask if there are any ancient traditional oaths in this town. Once an oath is made, it must be abided by."
"Oath?" Therese thought for a moment doubtfully, "It has been many years since we moved here, indeed. There is indeed a ritual here, and only the locals will abide by it. As immigrants, we just listen
I've said it, but I haven't seen it. What do they call the ancestral oath?"
"Is it a ritual?"
"Well, almost. The locals regard it as a very formal and serious thing. Our ancestors are here to pay attention to their words even when they are joking. If the ancestors are involved in swearing, someone might be killed." Mother said.
Ruisi warned sternly. "By the way, I heard that a girl is chasing you? She is said to be very beautiful? Isn't she?"
Seeing his mother's face quickly turn into a constriction, Garen also knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get any more information from here. Having said so much, it was like saying nothing.
Looking at my mother's expression, it seemed that she really didn't know anything more, so she had no choice but to give up.
After chatting with his mother for a while, Gallon left the room and brought over his laptop. This was a birthday gift from his father last year.
I typed a line of words on the keyboard and entered it into the Internet search engine.
There is a lot of information about the oath. Narrow down the scope and enter the space again. Enter the United States, Glendo Town.
Snap.
When the Enter key was pressed, there were only five messages left on the screen.
They are all oaths such as religious ceremonies, four of which are local public ceremony oaths, and one is a video of students swearing to inherit the American spirit of freedom under the flag.
After careful research on religious ceremonies, I found that they are all public events and require a lot of preparations to be carried out. They are either for spring plowing, fishing, or one of the festival customs. They are worthless.
Turning off the computer, Garen sat on the bedside, thoughtfully. In this town, it seemed that many women, especially local women, shared some kind of special secret. This secret was ancient, solemn, and everyone followed the rules.
"It seems that the best breakthrough is the relationship with Raphael... When the relationship is close to a certain level, naturally many secrets are no longer secrets..."
The rest of life is no different from usual. The only change is that the girl accompanying Garen has changed from Jie Ling and the two to Raphael alone. Raphael comes to pick up Garen on time every day, and occasionally
He gave some small gifts, including nice old items and antiques. Garen wanted to talk to Jie Ling and the others several times, but was deliberately avoided by them, so he had no choice but to give up.
As time passed, he gradually got used to Raphael's presence.
Occasionally, he gave Raphael some small gifts in return, and the relationship between the two continued to heat up, becoming like best friends and boyfriend and girlfriend.
For children, the same life goes by extremely fast.
Slowly, Yi Lian and Jie Ling gradually faded out of Garen's sight, and his relationship with Raphael became better and better. He was never someone who took the initiative to get close to others and pursued his own goals, so he didn't have much time at all.
He wanted to make friends with the people around him, but Raphael gradually became an exception because he took the initiative to approach him.
Life in junior high school is not much different from primary school, except that students grow up faster and their thoughts are a little more mature.
Garen practiced secret martial arts every day, but his cultivation was always stuck at the second level, and his progress was extremely slow. He asked Raphael many times about the situation of the Buck Badge, but the information he got was unknown. It was said that it was only her grandmother.
Only then did he learn more about the situation. This made Garen, whose skill had almost stagnated, become more and more curious.
*********************
On the blue sea, the golden and red waves of the setting sun are constantly rippling.
The seaside hundreds of kilometers away from Glendo.
On the pale yellow beach, a teenage boy with blond hair was slowly walking towards the sea. He was only wearing a pair of black swimming trunks, and his clothes were thrown far away on the black reef not far away.
The boy has a handsome face, with a hint of feminine neutrality, giving him a feeling of weakness. He is obviously a boy, but he has a soft beauty that makes people pity.
He walked slowly towards the sea water, step by step, his feet were submerged, then his calves, then his knees, thighs, abdomen, and chest.
In an instant, traces of dark, ink-like mist spread from his body and spread to the surroundings along the sea water.
The mist was like ink, quickly darkening the water around the boy.
The boy seemed unaware and continued walking deeper.
The strange thing is that the seawater that submerged up to his chest actually still only submerged up to his chest without any change after he left the shallow sea area and went deeper.
Wow!!
Suddenly, there was a wave of waves on the sea surface not far away, and two pennant-like fins rushed towards the boy from a distance. Under the blue sea surface, two huge blue-black giant sharks swam towards the boy quickly. The fish
The fins are like a motorboat breaking through the waves, creating two arcs of white waves.
At the moment the fish's fin entered the black water around the boy.
The boy's weakness suddenly changed. His hands were as straight as two sharp knives, and he thrust them into the water.
laugh!
The two giant sharks banged and exploded, turning into two masses of scarlet flesh. The blood quickly merged into the black water around the boy. The color of the blood was quickly covered by black, and then everything returned to the peaceful scene from the beginning.
.
Garen frowned and raised his hands.
"The progress is too slow..." He sighed.
The power of the Claw of Hessus has reached the level of a fighter. In addition, his physical condition has reached a point where he can barely release his energy, so his strength has recovered somewhat.
However, the rules of this world are different. It seems that he can no longer completely condense his spirit. Even with his state, he can only integrate his spirit into the material and then affect external things. He can no longer release it directly as before.
Suppress your opponent.
But in this way, the aura blends into the water and into the air, and it becomes something that ordinary people can see, rather than something exclusive that only fighters can see. It just consumes a lot more, and Galleons can only maintain it at most.
After ten minutes of releasing the spirit, the area covered by the spirit is about ten meters in radius with him as the center. Within these ten meters, all creatures that enter will be suppressed by terrifying mental hallucinations, and at the same time, the materialized Hesas' sinister palm power will also
As the spirit slowly and quietly penetrates into the enemy's body, it gradually weakens the opponent's physique and speed.
The current spirit is not so much a fusion product of spirit, energy, and spirit, as it is simply a poisonous gas released from Garen's body. This poisonous gas has a strong hallucinogenic effect, and can also weaken the opponent's physical speed, and can be dissolved in
water.
"Garen! You went into the sea again!" On the beach in the distance, a slim blond girl was waving her hand towards this side. "Come ashore quickly. I have something to tell you."
Garen looked back and saw that it was Raphael. He now likes to exercise and rides his motorcycle to the beach to swim every day after school. In essence, he is practicing the use of Hesas's vicious palm power.
This secret martial art seems to be a standard evil skill. It actually has the effect of absorbing and melting the flesh and blood of other creatures. The foreign flesh and blood will have a good strengthening effect on the palm power. If you hunt wantonly in the forest, you are likely to find abnormalities, so he might as well stay away.
If you go farther away and practice in the ocean, no one will notice you at all.
As an evil skill, apart from being sinister, the characteristic of Hesas is that it is very concealable. It is estimated that even fighters of the same level will not be able to detect the movement of Garen's secret weapon power. This is also what Garen is extremely satisfied with.
Garen quickly retracted the poisonous mist that melted into the surrounding seawater, and turned back and swam towards the shore.
His movements are natural, and the lines of his body are extremely soft. Every time he strokes, his body will swim forward quickly like a fish.
