The cold feeling continued to flow from the skin into Ah-Dai's body. Owen's life experience deeply shocked his heart. He subconsciously decided to avenge his uncle no matter what. "Uncle, the four characters behind the Nine Jue of Ming Zi
Can I practice the move?"
Owen solemnly said: "No, absolutely not, the evil energy contained in the last four moves is too strong. If the evil energy invades your body, you will be controlled by the sword, lose all your character, and become its puppet.
A murderous demon. Therefore, you must not skip the level and use the following tricks. Dumb, uncle’s eyes have turned gray."
Dumb was stunned and looked at Owen's eyes. Sure enough, his eyes had been completely replaced by gray, looking extremely weird.
Owen sighed: "This is the backlash of using Pluto's sword technique beyond the level. Fortunately, I am going to die, so I won't become a murderous demon. But you must be careful, and you must not use the following tricks easily. Although I have the ability
I used the fourth move of the Pluto Sword Technique, but my skill was not enough to use Ming Flash, Ming Continuous Flash, Ming Zhan and Ming Shadow continuously. The evil energy had completely assimilated into my meridians. If it hadn't been for years of hard training in Shengshengjue, I would have been dead.
I have lost my mind. My child, nothing in the world is absolute. If you use it for good, it will be good, and if you use it for evil, it will be evil. You have to understand this truth." Just after saying this, the blue light on Owen's face suddenly became brighter, and his expression
As soon as it changed, with a "wow" sound, a mouthful of red blood with bluish spurts out.
Dui was so anxious that he quickly injected the few remaining vitality in his body into Owen's body. Owen's whole body was trembling, as if struggling with the poison of the Wuer Holy Water. After a long time, his heaving chest gradually calmed down, but his eyes were still.
It had already dimmed a lot, and he said weakly: "Dumb, tie the Pluto Sword to your chest, quickly."
Dumb was stunned, how could he have the heart to go against Owen's last wish? He tore open his coat, hung the leather bag diagonally on his body with his right hand, tightened the belt, and the hilt of the Pluto Sword was right against his chest, cold.
As energy was input into the body, Ah-Dai couldn't help but feel refreshed. The vital energy in his body seemed to be stimulated and circulated rapidly. The energy that was about to be exhausted became stronger.
With the support of Ah-Dai's vitality, Owen could barely resist the desire to vomit blood again. He knew that the poison in his body could no longer be suppressed and death was getting closer and closer to him. "Ah-Dai, you... you want to

...can't...take care of...you anymore, you...have to take care of...yourself, you know...?" After saying this, Owen couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, and his face was already blue.
Densely covered, with excessive consumption of infuriating energy, poisonous invasion of the body, and evil energy backlash, even the gods may not be able to save his life. After spitting out blood, Owen's spirit seemed to be better, and his blue face showed a
A hint of blush.
Dumb's tears had already wet his front. He clearly felt that the life of his uncle, who had lived with him for five years, was disappearing bit by bit. He could only keep nodding and promising Owen
’s final words of advice.
Owen coughed up another mouthful of blood, stretched out his hand that had turned blue, and gently stroked Ah-Dai's hair. The last reflection lifted his spirits a lot, and he smiled and said: "Kid, do you know? And
The five years you lived together were the calmest and most satisfying five years my uncle had ever lived. After leaving here, don’t run far away immediately. Take all the food at home and hide on the rocks for ten days, and then
If I go any further, the organization will not let me go. You have to be careful in the future. Ah! By the way, you can do magic. At least you are at the level of a junior magician. Keep going west from here and you will reach
In the territory of the Red Hurricane Clan, if you find a branch of the Magician's Guild, register yourself as a magician, and put on a large magic robe, it will not be easy for them to find you. Moreover, magicians are given subsidies.
It’s enough for your daily life. Your uncle ran away from the Assassin’s Guild too quickly and didn’t have time to bring out some property. From now on, you will have to rely on yourself. Return to your teacher, Gliss, and you will have to cultivate for a period of time to strive for it.
Practice a few more tricks and the Nine Jue of Mingzi, and then venture out on the mainland, so that you can be safer. Apart from my junior sister, the one I am most sorry for is the master who raised me. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can go to the Tiangang Sword Sect.
Look, whenever you meet someone who uses the same sword as you, you must be polite."
The red light on Owen's face gradually dimmed, and the completely blue blood continued to flow out of his seven orifices. The return of the light completely consumed his last remaining energy. He could no longer hold on, and his whole body was shaking.
Said: "Remember... on... mainland..., try... not to... come into contact with... three kinds of people. One... is... clergy... personnel..., most... of...
…I asked…your old…senior brother…Reese…well, and…apologize…to him…for me…for robbing…his…student…for a few years, he…

His reputation is not very good. You should be wary of him. Don’t tell him about Ming Wang Jian.

Now..., you...must...take...care...of...yourself..." The last word 'self' was not uttered, and the 'Pluto' Owen, who had dominated the continent for decades, passed away suddenly.
. His face always maintained a look of concern. Even after he died, he still worried about the young man in front of him.
Owen's hand gradually slipped from Ah-Dai's face, and Ah-Dai became completely sluggish. His heart seemed to be pressed by a big stone, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He didn't know how many tears he had shed, and his heart had become completely cold, until
Only now did he realize how deep his feelings for Owen were. This uncle who cared for him meticulously and taught him all he had learned was gone.
In June of the Holy Calendar of 1994, the King of Killers, who had been traversing the continent for decades, left with full of hatred and unwillingness.
Owen's body became cold quickly, and the toxicity of Wuer Holy Water was fully exerted. His body had gradually turned dark blue, and his face had begun to rot from the seven orifices, and there was no longer any sign of life. Dui stood up, wiped
He shed a handful of tears on his face. Although he was unwilling to leave Owen's body, his mind was still very clear under the stimulation of the cold energy of the Pluto Sword. He knew that when his uncle was dying, the person he was most worried about was himself. He couldn't
If you let Owen down, you must live. Only by living can you have hope of avenging your uncle.
Thinking of this, Ah-Dai ran back to his room, packed the silver ball he had refined and a few pieces of clothes into a package, and packed the food from the kitchen together before returning to Owen. All of this, he was a waste of time.
I did it with tears. The person closest to me was gone. How could this child who was only seventeen years old bear it?
A puddle of blue water had melted under Owen's body, and his handsome appearance that had turned blue was corroded beyond recognition by the toxicity of the holy water. Dumb yelled, "No--" His uncle was already dead, and he never wanted to see his uncle.
His body was destroyed by venom again. With great difficulty, he chanted the spell of fire magic, "O fire element that fills the world! Please give me the power of burning. In my name and with your power, appear
, scorching flames." During Ah-Dai's choked chanting, dark blue flames appeared in his hands. Ah-Dai closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and the flames flew out, completely engulfing Owen's body. Under the extremely high blue flames,
Under the high temperature, within a short time, Owen's body had turned into a pile of blue ashes.
Ah-Dai squatted on the ground and cried bitterly. While crying, he used a small porcelain altar to fill the few blue ashes on the ground with a small shovel. Covering the lid, Ah-Dai carefully put the porcelain altar into the package and resolutely
Turning around, he ran out the door with two bags on his back. The three mummies were still lying on the spot. Ah-Dai took a deep look at the home where he had lived for five years. He gritted his teeth and cast another fire spell. A large blue flame spread over Ah-Dai.
With the help of others, the roof was sprinkled on the roof. In an instant, the small courtyard had turned into a sea of fire. With his toes, Ah-Dai lifted the three corpses into the sea of fire. Full of hatred and sorrow, he ran towards
distance.
Xier was sulking at home. Dumb's blatant refusal made him, the mayor of the town, feel very embarrassed. After all, his wife was more than enough to match that silly boy! Why had I never heard him say that he had a fiancée before?
I really don’t know what this big brother Owen is thinking, leaving such a good marriage unfinished. Until now, Xi Fei is still crying in the room, making him even more upset.
Bang, bang, bang, there was a fierce knock on the door. Xi Er was worried in his heart. When he heard the knock on the door, he shouted angrily: "Who is knocking so urgently? You are urging me to die!"
"Dad, it's me. Open the door quickly. Something happened." It was the voice from the table.
Xier was startled. He quickly stepped forward and opened the door. There was an anxious look on the table, and he gasped: "Dad, please go and take a look. Something big has happened."
Sil frowned and said, "What are you making all the fuss about? What big thing can happen to a small town like ours?"
Xi Zhong said anxiously: "It's Uncle Owen. Uncle Owen's house suddenly caught fire for some reason. My second brother and my third brother and I came back from fishing and saw that they had already mobilized the townspeople to put out the fire."
Seale was shocked and lost his voice: "What are you talking about? Brother Owen's house is on fire. Come on, let's go and take a look."
By the time they arrived at Owen's house, the fire had already burned out. In this small seaside town, the sea breeze was constant all year round. Coupled with Dumb's advanced fire skills, the house had already been burned down and only the ruins were left.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Xier stared blankly at everything in front of him, pulled his second son Xi Fa who was putting out the fire, and asked: "Where are the people? Where are your Uncle Owen and Dumb? Have they come out?"
Xi Fa shook his head sadly and said, "I didn't see them, dad. The fire was so big. If they were inside, I'm afraid, I'm afraid they would be in danger."
While the Sears family was mourning Owen and Dumb, a few pairs of cold eyes in the crowd kept watching.
"Vice President, we just went in and took a look. Except for the dead brothers who were burned to dry bones, we did not find the corpses of 'Pluto' and the child you mentioned."
The yin and yang voice was full of hatred, "I'm so angry. I didn't expect that 'Pluto' has such a strong vitality. He can still use Pluto's swordsmanship after being poisoned by the Wuer Holy Water. If I had known that I would lead your team together."
Get up, no matter what you say, you can put him away. 'Pluto' may die, but the child who is with him again will definitely be alive. Quick, you spread out and look for him. Even if it is a corpse, you must bring it back to me. The Pluto Sword must be
It cannot fall into the hands of others."
"Yes, Vice President." Several figures quietly disappeared into the crowd, and the fire in the yard gradually weakened.
…………
"Ah -" Ah-Dai stood on the wooden pile, desperately trying to chop off the waves that came up one after another. As early as half a year ago, Owen had broken the wooden pile from the center, allowing Ah-Dai to stand on it and bear the impact of the tide.
In order to practice the stability of his chassis, the waves were constantly divided to both sides by the Tiangang Sword in Ah-Dai's hand. Ah-Dai's body had already been soaked by the sea water. He kept venting, but the sadness in his heart could not disappear.
Boom, a huge wave rushed the exhausted Ah-Dai into the sea. Ah-Dai did not struggle, letting one huge wave after another wash away the resentment in his body and heart.
"Why? Why did you want to kill Uncle Owen? Why -" Dumb looked up to the sky and shouted sadly, but except for the sound of the surging waves, no one answered his question.
Ten days later, Ah-Dai gradually came out of the sadness of Owen's death. Owen's death deeply stimulated him. There was a look of resentment on his dull face. After eating a piece of dry food, Ah-Dai took the baggage and Tiangang.
The sword was tied to his body, he touched the Pluto Sword on his chest, left the reef group, identified the direction, and walked towards the territory of the Red Hurricane Tribe in the west. Maybe Owen's death stimulated him too deeply, Owen said before he died
Dui's stupid mind clearly remembered every word he said. Those were his uncle's last instructions, and he had to follow his uncle's instructions no matter what.
What Dumb didn't know was that Owen's instructions before he died saved his life. The people from the Killers' Guild left the scene the day before because they couldn't find him.
Three days, it has been three days, and Ah-Dai finally reached the border of the Red Hurricane Clan, but he had also eaten all the dry food he brought from home. He had not had any water for a whole day, his lips were a little chapped, and he entered the scene in front of him in a trance.
City.
People wearing mercenary uniforms can be seen everywhere on the street. Owen once described to him the attire of various professions. He knew that the Red Hurricane Clan was the birthplace of the mercenary union, and there were a large number of mercenaries and mercenary groups gathered here.
, his goal is to find the Magician's Guild, and then he will have money to buy food.
This city is very prosperous, much larger than the Nino City where he lived when he was a child. After walking a few steps, the smell of steamed buns hit his face, and Ah-Dai's whole body was shocked, and he couldn't help but look over.
"Steamed buns, selling steamed buns, fragrant and sweet steamed buns, two copper coins each. Selling steamed buns..."
The loud hawking sound made Ah-Dai walk over unknowingly. The steamed bun seller was a short, fat man in his forties. His red hair was bald and only the barbed wire around him was left. Every time he yelled, he would get excited.
The fat on his face kept trembling, and steam kept rising from the steamed bun basket in front of him. It was obviously steamed buns that had just been baked. When he saw Ah-Dai walking over, he said with a smile on his face: "Little brother, I want some steamed buns."
Do you want to eat? My steamed buns are famous far and wide, they are so fragrant and sweet, you will feel like two after eating one."
Ah-Dai looked at the chubby steamed bun boss and thought to himself that his steamed buns must taste good, otherwise, he would not be able to eat such a figure. Steamed buns have always been Ah-Dai's favorite, not to mention that he has not eaten for a long time.
, but he didn’t even have a copper coin in his pocket, so how could he buy the delicious food in front of him.
Swallowing, Ah-Dai shook his head.
The steamed bun boss just opened his shop today and hasn't sold a few steamed buns yet. Although the somewhat dull young man in front of him is dressed in simple clothes, one look at the big sword on his back shows that he is a martial arts student. Who doesn't have some money to study martial arts?
! What's more, it's just money to buy steamed buns. So, when he saw Ah-Dai shaking his head, he immediately said anxiously: "What? Little brother, are you not satisfied with my steamed buns? Buy two, it's only one copper coin, think of it as breakfast
It's best. Otherwise, you can try one first and I won't charge you for it."
When Ah-Dai heard that he would not accept the money, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded quickly. The steamed bun boss picked out a steamed bun from the steaming basket and handed it to Ah-Dai. Ah-Dai took it with both hands and bit off three thirds of the steamed bun in one bite.
One, it had been half a month since he had eaten such good steamed buns. He wolfed down a steamed bun in just a few seconds. The aroma of the steamed buns filled his whole body, and he felt like he had something to eat.
Dui immediately became more energetic, "Uncle, your steamed buns are really well made, soft, fragrant, and so delicious."
When the owner of the steamed bun shop heard that Dumb praised his steamed buns for being delicious, he immediately smiled and said proudly: "That's right, you can ask around. Among the streets around here, my steamed buns are the most delicious. Buy a few.
Yes. Even if it’s not a vegetable, my steamed buns are very delicious.”
Dui lowered his head and said sadly: "I, I really want to eat your steamed buns, but, but, I don't have money."
The fat boss was stunned and murmured: "Why are you running to my stall if you don't have money? You even ate one of my steamed buns. My steamed buns are for trial use by people who want to buy them. What do you think this is? Are you freeloading? Hey——
Forget it, I’m in trouble, please leave quickly and don’t hinder my business.”
Dumb lowered his head and walked aside. He secretly thought that when he had money, he would definitely pay back the money for the steamed bun he just ate.
"Wait a minute." The voice of the steamed bun shop owner suddenly came from behind. Dumb was shocked. Could it be that the boss wanted to chase him for money again? Turning around, he saw the steamed bun shop owner using his chubby hands to ask for money.
He waved to signal him to come over. Dumb walked back to the steamed bun shop, still lowering his head, and said: "Boss, I, I really don't have any money. I'm sorry. When I have money, I will definitely come to buy steamed buns from you."
The owner of the steamed bun shop looked up at Dumb, handed over a paper bag, and sighed: "Young man, you are a foreigner. You must have been in trouble here. Here, I will give you these steamed buns. You can eat them first. They are all.
It's not easy to just make a living, so just take it."
Dumb looked at the owner of the steamed bun shop in shock, with red eyes. Since Owen's death, the man in front of him was the first one to care about him. His heart that was a little cold because of Owen's death warmed up again, and he said with a trembling voice
: "Thank you, thank you, boss. You are such a good person." He took the steamed bun, immediately opened the paper bag and ate it hungrily. He was really hungry.
The boss brought out a bowl of hot water from the store and said, "Little brother, eat slowly, don't choke, and drink some water."
After a while, Ah-Dai ate all the five steamed buns in the paper bag in one go. He immediately felt energetic. He drank the hot water into his stomach and felt a warmth rise in his body. He said gratefully: "Uncle, thank you, thank you.
You, you are such a good person."
The boss narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I can't say I'm a good person. I was once down and out. I met a steamed bun shop and really wanted to eat the steamed buns there, but like you, I had no money. Later, the kind-hearted boss took him in.
He married me and gave his daughter to me as my wife, and that’s how I am today. We can all be considered degenerates, a few steamed buns are nothing. Young man, where are you going?
Why did you go out without any money? Seeing that you are carrying a sword, you must be a martial arts student."
When he mentioned learning martial arts, Ah-Dai couldn't help but think of the dead Owen, and felt sad in his heart, "Uncle, thank you for the steamed buns, can you tell me where the Magicians' Guild is?"
When the owner of the steamed bun shop heard Ah-Dai mention the Magician's Guild, a look of reverence suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "Magicians are all highly capable people. Our city university actually has a branch of the Magician's Guild. What's wrong?
Where are you looking for people? Or looking for jobs?"
Ah-Dai scratched his head and said, "Let's just look for a job." After filling his stomach and receiving news from the Magician's Guild, Ah-Dai's sad mood suddenly improved a lot.
The owner of the steamed bun shop said: "You go straight along this road, turn right at the second intersection, turn left at the end, and you will see it after another intersection. The Magician's Guild and the Mercenary's Guild are both there. There.
I'm afraid it's not easy to find a job. I think you might as well become a mercenary. There are many mercenary groups in the city now recruiting people, and the pay is relatively high. You can only earn a few gold coins a month.
If it doesn't work, you can work here. Although it's a bit embarrassing, you can always have enough to eat. My wife is taking care of the children at home and can't help me with anything. I have to do everything here by myself."
Dumb thanked the owner of the steamed bun shop for his kindness and walked towards the Magician's Guild in the direction he said. He must fulfill Owen's last words before his death. Since his uncle said that he should go to the Magician's Guild to register as a magician, then he must
There is a reason for it.
After turning a few corners, Ah-Dai came to a main road. There were many pedestrians on the road. Here, people with weapons, light armor, and mercenary regiment badges on their chests could be seen everywhere. Before walking too far, a building
A tall house appeared in front of us. On the roof of the house, there was a huge sign. On the sign was engraved a shield and two long swords. Below the sign, there were four large characters - Mercenary Union. People kept walking out or entering from inside.
The house looked very lively.
Ah-Dai looked at it curiously for a few times, and was about to move forward when suddenly a man dressed as a mercenary came towards him. This man was taller than Ah-Dai, had short red hair and was wearing a brown leather suit.
He wears armor, a long sword hanging from his waist, and the mercenary symbol on his chest is a red-haired lion head, which looks very tough.
"Little brother, please stay." The big man stopped in front of Ah-Dai.
Dumb was stunned and said: "Me? Are you okay?"
The big man laughed and said: "Little brother, looking at your attire, you must be a martial arts practitioner. Do you want to join the mercenary group? Our Red Lion Mercenary Group is very famous in the city. Join us.
, the basic salary is three gold coins per month. If your mercenary level increases in the future, there will be a corresponding increase, and you will get a certain share every time you perform a mission. This is the best treatment."
The big man spoke very quickly, but Dumb didn't understand what he meant. He shook his head and said, "I, I don't want to be a mercenary."
The big man was stunned, frowned and said: "What? No way, although you don't like the locals, but any of the young warriors who come to us want to do something as mercenaries. Young man, such a good opportunity
If you don't grasp it, you will regret it later."
Dui still shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I really don't want to be a mercenary. Please get out of the way."
The big man snorted and murmured: "You're a worthless boy." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the mercenary union.
Dumb couldn't help but wonder, would he be worthless if he didn't join the mercenary group? Forget it, let's go to the Magician's Guild first. Thinking of this, he walked forward quickly.
The Magician's Guild is also a tall building, next to the Mercenary Guild, but it is obviously much deserted, with few people coming in and out. Just as Dumb was about to pass, a voice came from behind, "Wait a minute, little brother." Dumb.
Looking back, I saw the red-haired man again, and there was another person beside him. This person was about 1.8 meters tall, looked to be in his forties, had a fair face, black hair and black eyes, and his eyes were shining, and he had a serious demeanor.
Ning, carrying a Tiangang sword similar to Dui's on his back.
Dumb stood there in shock, watching the two people walking in front of him. The red-haired man said: "Little brother, this is the deputy leader of our Red Lion Mercenary Group. He should be an elder of your division."
Dui was startled. The elder of the division looked at the hilt of the sword exposed on the opponent's shoulder. He suddenly remembered Owen's words and suddenly thought that this deputy leader must be a member of the Tiangang Sword Sect. His uncle said that when he met a member of the Tiangang Sword Sect,
People must be courteous. Thinking of this, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Hello, uncle."
The black-haired middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "Little brother, I wonder which senior brother you are a disciple of? My name is Feng Ping, and I should be your senior uncle in terms of seniority."
Uncle Master? Ah-Dai shook his head and said, "I, I don't have a master, only a teacher."
Feng Ping felt happy, thinking that this silly boy must have never seen the world and just entered the mainland, so he asked harmoniously: "Then what is your teacher's name?"
Dumb hesitated for a moment and said, "I, I can't say." Owen had told him to be careful when going out and not reveal his identity casually. Uncle Owen's name must not be revealed, let alone Teacher Coris.
