The meandering Duoluo River ranges from thousands of years of ice and snow to trickling streams, from curtain waterfalls to surging river water, from Luoyue Canyon to the City of Waterfalls.
Against the background of the snow-capped mountains, glaciers and lush virgin forests, the Luoyue Canyon looks like a crack opened by a god with a giant axe.
This is a ground fissure formed by an earthquake tens of thousands of years ago. After a long period of rain impact, a link for this river to pass was formed.
Walking in the canyon, looking at the mountains with thousands of walls standing in the distance, you can only see the remaining rays of the setting sun.
The moonlight at night is difficult to reach the bottom of the canyon, which is also the origin of the name of Luoyue Canyon.
Xu Zhi stood in the canyon, feeling the coolness of the river wind and listening to the sound of the gurgling water. At this time, it was difficult for him to appreciate the magnificence and exquisiteness on both sides of the bank.
His mood was contradictory, but also a little joyful.
San Theo finally ran to this canyon and brought him to the hermitage of Aresa, the cheap archery instructor he had worshiped in the early years.
At this moment, the instructor is guiding two elves in archery from a distance.
Just like what he taught him back then, Aretha adopted the method of hard work and success, constantly instructing and shooting.
Compared to when he was taught basic archery back then, the skills taught now are undoubtedly higher.
Find weak points for fatal shooting, use wind, water potential, and natural conditions to turn shooting obstacles into assistance.
He even had the two elves shoot at each other to practice their reflexes.
"Is he really your master?" Sheng Theo asked suspiciously.
"That is required."
Xu Zhi nodded. He had to hold on even if he didn't recognize him. Who knows if Aretha still remembers the jungle goblin he met a few years ago.
His image is completely different from that of that time, and it is difficult to identify him.
In any case, let's get along with each other first and find some excuse to read "Aretha's Lifetime Archery Skills Guide".
In just a few seconds, he could complete the art of archery.
"I heard you're bankrupt?"
It was a bit early for Xu Zhi to go down to the boundary. Aretha's guidance had not yet ended and would probably have to wait until dark.
He was conflicted, which made him a little embarrassed when facing Sansio, so he had no choice but to find trouble.
Just focus on the sad things about San Theo, this is the quickest way to divert attention.
"Alas~"
After hearing what Xu Zhi said, Sheng Theo let out a long sigh, with an indescribable loneliness in his eyes.
Sudden wealth comes so fast, like a tornado, but after this sudden wealth, it also leaves a lot of chicken feathers everywhere.
Without controlling his mouth, everyone in Rain City knew that High Priest Saint Theo had made a fortune.
The city lord Geralt expressed tactfully that the City of Rain wanted to build a third-level city wall and hoped that the high priest would support it.
Needless to say, for the betterment of the city, we must support it.
With a wealth of millions, one hundred thousand gold coins can support it.
The next person who came to the door was Ji Yi, the dean of Forest and Grassland Academy. This archdruid hoped that San Theo could support the education in Rain City.
It goes without saying that this must be supported for the sake of future generations.
One hundred thousand gold coins were wasted again.
Next, poor archdruids and high priests came to the door.
While others were asking San Theo to borrow money, he also had to go to various gods to collect the fruits of the Tree of Life.
This mutual request cannot be refused.
"So, in addition to doing charity, you have lent out all your money?" Xu Zhi asked.
"That's right." Sansio nodded and said depressedly: "In the end, I had to issue a bankruptcy declaration to prove that I really had no money left, and then I got out."
"There are still many people who don't believe this statement and think I have a lot of money hidden somewhere."
There is infinite annoyance among Sheng Theo and others. This kind of quick money comes very quickly and disappears very quickly.
I received gratitude from some people, and doubt from others.
Apart from that, he left nothing behind.
Not even an IOU.
The money he lent seemed like Xu Zhi had lent him 100,000 gold coins and never repaid him.
Now he still faces the problem of delivering the fruit of the tree of life.
After months of going back and forth, Sansio felt that he was working in vain.
"Sir Zhizhi, do you think there are any other ways for us to make quick money? My heart is bleeding when I think of the millions I once had."
"I haven't been able to sleep for a while. This feeling of being suddenly rich and poor is so uncomfortable."
"Until I get my one million back, my heart will not be at peace."
The ways to make quick money are all based on the law. If he wanted to make quick money normally, Xu Zhi had no way.
His money in this world mainly comes from the two thighs in the lower world.
One is Mister Bama, who is good at business, and the other is Saint Alita who rebelled against the Holy See of Light.
The former is good at using money to make money, while the latter has the bad wealth of the Holy See and will be unable to finish it in a short while.
Sheng Theo seems to be in even worse condition than his senior brother Qian Tong.
Qian Tong is unlucky.
Shengsio is short of money and has too many friends, and he is not good at hiding or rejecting them.
Not to mention one million, Xu Zhi felt that if he gave Sansio ten million, he would be borrowed all. It was just a matter of sooner or later.
"Slowly accumulate the fruits of the Tree of Life. His Majesty Ruiou will definitely buy them again in the future. If you buy five more, you will still have 1.25 million."
Xu Zhi's comforting words made Shengsio feel much better. Others were too poor to make a comeback, but he at least had a chance to make a comeback.
"I'm very happy when you say that, and I feel much better."
Sansio muttered, feeling that he still had a chance to make money and was not desperate.
The two discussed the money-making business for a long time. It was getting dark, and Aretha finally stopped giving instructions.
In front of the lit bonfire, sweet potatoes grown by Aretha were grilled, which was the elves' dinner.
Aretha kept scanning Xu Zhi's face. Forgive him for his blindness, he really didn't recognize this former apprentice.
There are too many things in his life. Year after year goes by, and he cannot remember who he taught whom in the past.
He has taught at least thousands of archers, including elves and humans. Except for a few geniuses who made him look at him, he can't even remember their names.
But the other party was brought by the high priest Saint Theo, which made him rack his brains to recall the somewhat famous archer in Rain City.
"Are you Rosser? Or Esnan?"
"I am the jungle elf that you taught at the Zhan Zhan University. I am the jungle elf with the archery blood of the elf ancestors."
Being reminded by Xu Zhi, Aretha finally had some impression.
It's just that the look in his eyes is hard to understand. The green skin in front of him is completely different from the green skin that used to hang out in the barbarian zone.
Where did I go for the surgery?
"You also recorded my situation in the book at that time. How about you take out the book "Aretha's Lifetime Archery Skills Guide" and we can look through it together, and we will definitely find my record."
Xu Zhi had a dark idea in his mind.
His relationship with Aretha is really not strong, they just met each other for two thousand gold coins.
How could Irisa, a disciple like him, admit his fault?
It is even more difficult to find out the background of the other party's book.
Even the identity of San Theo cannot be used to force him.
"There is such a thing" Aretha nodded.
"You look through it, and let's look through the book together."
"Since you remember it, there is no need to read it." Aretha refused: "That is indeed a very magical thing. Why did you come to me?"
This doesn't follow common sense.
What he came here for, of course, was to learn skills from Aretha.
"I want to borrow the book written by my mentor to try it out, to stimulate the shooting blood in my body again, and to have the ability of a master marksman."
"Hahaha, are you kidding? Talent is just the beginning. If you want to have the ability of a master shooter, it is far beyond what talent can achieve."
"Even with the right guidance, it will take years and months of practice before you even have the slightest chance of possessing the ability of a master shooter."
Aretha bluntly corrected Xu Zhi's fantasy.
"Your Excellency Zhizhi, you can shoot that kind of giant bow, so your shooting ability must be very good," San Theo said suspiciously: "I think your shooting is much better than Your Excellency Aresa."
"There is no way he can be better than me in archery." Aretha shook his head and said, "He has only learned archery for a few years, how can he be better than me."
"If you don't believe me, just let me touch you. I'll definitely be better than you if I touch you."
With Sansio's assist, Xu Zhi felt great and spoke loudly.
"Touch it, and I'll see if you can find a master archer."
