Chapter 3: The Way Home

Charles woke up.

He vaguely remembered that the civilian spacecraft he was riding on had just left the Galaxy Development Center and entered orbit, but he took a nap halfway through, and when he woke up, he was lying wet on a tidal flat.

"I'm here... What's wrong?"

He turned over with difficulty, lay on the shore and looked at himself in the water:

With black hair and black eyes, slender and straight eyebrows, and a straight nose, he is many times more handsome than in his previous life, but his two thin lips are bloodless, and his face is a little white.

Looking at the handsome little face in the reflection on the water, Charles immediately reacted:

"I'm X, I've crossed over! or my soul is pierced!Hahahahaha, go to his X's intracranial bomb, go to his X's hibernation sequelae, get out of here!"

After a burst of ecstasy, he couldn't laugh when the memories of this body slowly came to his mind.

His name is Charles Griffin, he has been inferior and introverted since he was a child, and he was born with a sarcoma under the back of his head, which made him unable to straighten his back and was teased for being a hunchback.

Charles was the only son of a third-class baron, and the family was originally an iron-clad heirloom, until his father inherited his uncle's title and lived a noble life.

But the good times didn't last long, and a few months ago, the news of my father's death came from the front.

Sad, Charles decided to join the army and fight for the last title, but who knew that he was pushed into the water in the recruit trial.

This unlucky bastard, without even seeing who did it, was swept all the way to the depths of the fallen area by the rushing waters of the St. Dolan River.

As Charles desperately pondered how to survive in the wilderness, he checked his body.

He found that not only was he not the hunchback in his memory, but the place where there was sarcoma actually grew a palm-sized crystal instead.

This discovery made him overjoyed, because in this world, crystallization means talent!

Only a very small number of people in this world possess crystals, and they are born with the ability to perceive the elements of heaven and earth.

These darlings of heaven and earth are revered by people as the Chosen One.

The location of the crystals determines the class of the Chosen One.

Those whose crystals are close to the head are mostly suitable for becoming magicians, who can command the elements of heaven and earth and perform magic.

Those whose crystals grow in the limbs or body are mostly suitable for practicing martial arts, and they enjoy the nourishment of crystals, and they are naturally stronger and more powerful than ordinary people.

In addition to being delighted, Charles also tested his brainwave ability, but unsurprisingly, the brainwave strength of this body was only at the level of ordinary people.

Sure enough, it's hard to do good things......

Although Charles's brainwave abilities from his previous life helped him gain a large number of memories, he was unable to copy other people's memories after waking up from hibernation.

Brain waves can only be like radar, providing insight into the contours of things around them.

Still, in the midst of a perilous fallen zone, this ability is invaluable.

With the fine control of brainwaves in his previous life, Charles finally gradually recovered some abilities after more than a month of trying.

Brainwave detection can cover an area of about five meters from the body

He has been slowly tempering until now, and the detection range is only more than 30 meters.

But to survive in this treacherous wasteland, it's not enough to have brainwave detection.

A distance of twenty or thirty meters, for many large beasts, is just a matter of kicking on their hind legs.

In order to allow his body to keep up with his brainwave ability, Charles turned out the "Huaxia Boxing Sutra" from the memory of his previous life.

This boxing book is tailored by the Mother Star Alliance for senior generals, combined with the ancient martial arts of Chinese civilization, and recompiled for the strengthening of human genes.

Among them, the exhalation kung fu that mobilizes living beings to form internal breath, Charles's body has not been genetically strengthened, and he will definitely not be able to learn.

But fortunately, now that he has got rid of the shackles of his hunchback, his body has recovered quickly, and the fist and foot kung fu on the boxing scripture can come in handy.

With no knowledge of the outside of the siege, Charles struggled to survive in the Occupied Zone for more than half a year before he vaguely found his way home.

The journey home was not easy, and by the time Charles arrived in Quinta City, his hands were soaked in the blood of the beasts.

And a sledgehammer in his hand, and this fur, he had pieced together from the bones of the beasts.

This is not the first time Li Wei has encountered this kind of demon ape, the long handle of the hammer in his hand is made of the thigh bone of a steel-bone demon ape.

The big horse monkey in front of him is obviously related to the owner of this leg bone, and it is several times stronger than it.

One person and one monkey have been in a stalemate in Quinta City for a month.

The battle that night also started because of Charles, and the Steel-Bone Demon Ape lost Charles, but when he was furious, he found the three Silver Hands.

That's why there was this unwarranted disaster later.

According to Charles's original intention, he has suffered a lot of losses in his two lives, and the details of these three people are unknown, and he was unwilling to expose his whereabouts.

But seeing that the three of them were affected by himself, Cecilia was on the line of life and death, he really couldn't help it, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to the rescue at the moment of crisis.

"Thank you, Master Griffinβ€”" Cecilia took Charles's hand and struggled to her feet.

Looking at the face that was several times more handsome than the bounty portrait, a heart beat violently for some reason.

"I've finally found you!" Ezek put his arm on Hawke's shoulders and caught out Charles's face in the morning glow.

Charles searched his past memories and found nothing related to the trio, and immediately remembered that he had been pushed down the St. Dolan River.

couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked a little vigilantly, "What are you looking for me?"

Cecilia's breath evened out slightly, took out a bounty from his arms, and handed it to Charles:

"We have been commissioned by Mrs. Griffin to find your whereabouts. ”

Charles took the bounty and unfolded it.

"Mother..."

The beautiful but angular handwriting made him flash an incomparably doting smile in his mind, and the corners of his eyes moistened unconsciously.

"Hmmh

Seeing that he couldn't get any benefits, he jumped into a dilapidated house with a low roar, and a few swings disappeared into the depths of the alleyway.

The great enemy left, and the three of them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Griffin, come back with us, Madame is really worried about you!"

The girl's heart was as fine as dust, and she was keenly aware of the sparkle in the corners of Charles's crystal eyes, and said sincerely:

"Over the course of the year, everyone has said you're dead, and only Madame Griffin has insisted on a mercenary guild bounty. If you don't go back, Madame will die of sadness. ”

Charles remembered that doting smile, and he felt a little envious, and secretly said to himself in his heart:

Forget it, it should be regarded as paying off the debt, and it is also appropriate to do filial piety for this unlucky child.

β€œ... All right. If you want to go, don't wait for it to get dark, the monkey is going to mess with it again. Charles picked up the hammer and agreed to go with a few people.

A group of four people traveled lightly.

Charles has been struggling to survive alone in the wasteland for more than a year, and is happy to have someone to talk to.

Cecilia is lively and lovely, Hawke is honest and honest, especially Azek is lazy but humorous, and he speaks very much to Charles.

Among the three Silver Hands, Cecilia and Azek seem to be messing around, but they are sensible people who know the number of etiquette, even if they are extremely curious about Charles's experience this year, they understand that it is inconvenient to speak rashly.

Only Hawke spoke to Charles unabashedly.

What he admires most in his life is the powerful person of Kong Wu, and the greater his strength, the more he admires.

Along the way, he pulled Charles to compare strength and weapons, and the embarrassment of several people's first acquaintance was swept away by this rammed goods.

"Master Griffin, it turns out that you have so much strength, everyone looks down on you. Hawke said with sincere admiration.

"You're not bad, double crystals are a very rare talent, and..."

After getting along all the way, Charles has a good impression of this honest and honest dual-wielding shield guard:

"The double shield is super handsome!"

"Hey, hey, hey..."Hawke gave Charles a loud compliment and laughed happily.

Aizek was amazed at Hawke's mastery of the magical skill of commercial blowing, but he did not forget to explore the way, he looked into the distance, pointed to an abandoned town, and said:

"Master Griffin, there's the town of Durut ahead, let's take a break there. ”

"Although no one has planted the paddy fields in Durut Town, there are many field frogs!"

Cecilia turned around happily and introduced Charles enthusiastically, a pair of big watery eyes staring directly at Ezek, "You're right, Ezek?"

"You've been here for two days when you came, aren't you tired?" said Azek as he recalled the strange slippery feel of the frog, rubbing his fingers and whispering.

"Master Griffin hasn't eaten anybody, so what's wrong with me eating a little?" Cecilia said menacingly, crossing her waist.

"Wow, Durut field frogs, that's a good thing that can only be eaten during the holidays~" Charles is a knowledgeable person, and immediately joined the discussion.

Cecilia suddenly received reinforcements and said overjoyed: "It's just that it's rare to go so far, but you can't miss it." ”

"Hawke, let's eat crocodile meat for the two of us, there is too little frog meat, you can't eat enough. Azek couldn't hide, so he pitifully wooed Hawk.

"It's okay, I'll just eat a few more, I'll always be full if I eat too much. "Hawke has no heart or lungs.

β€œ......”

Seeing Ezek's desperate appearance, Charles tentatively asked, "Should you be, um... Ezek, were you in charge of foraging?"

Azek nodded angrily, hoping that he would change his mind.

Who knew that Charles smiled brightly at him: "It's hard, I want to eat ten!"

"I want ten too!" Cecilia hurriedly placed an order.

"Then I, twenty... Twenty-five, well, not enough for me to eat some crocodile meat. Hawke followed suit.

β€œ... You're going to die for me!"

......

After a night of nothing, the four of them had a leisurely breakfast, and were about to set off, when suddenly there was a noise from the other side of the town.

Ezek's brow furrowed slightly, as if he had heard something.

Cecilia's face also changed slightly: "It's the Tooth Hunting Mercenary Group." ”

"There are a lot of people, and they are the main players. Ezek slowed his pace and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, these ungrateful fellows. Hawk said angrily, clenching his fists and rattling.

"What's the matter?" asked Charles, seeing that the faces of the people were not good.

"A few of our former members of the Silver Hand, who left the Silver Hand a few years ago after my brother's death and joined the Tooth Hunting Mercenary Regiment. Cecilia explained.

"Actually, it's nothing, everyone has their own ambitions, and it's understandable. ”

Azek listened to the noise that was getting closer, and his hand was already on the hilt of his sword:

"The hateful thing is that they claimed that the head of the regiment was dead, so the Silver Hand was disbanded, and with the signboard of the Silver Hand and all the resources in the regiment, they defected to the Tooth Hunting Mercenary Regiment, and even the silver sword of the regiment commander was taken away. ”

"At that time, I had little strength, and I couldn't hold the heirloom shield, so I left it at home and didn't put it in the warehouse, otherwise they would have stolen it. Hawke's teeth itched with hatred, and a pair of small eyes widened.

"Just grab it back, what are you afraid of, if you fight, you will definitely win if there are not many people. ”

Charles's beautiful and slender eyebrows raised slightly, put down the hammer on his shoulder, and said lightly: "How many people are there in Tooth Hunting?"

"Three groups of twelve teams, a total of about 140 people. Ezek glanced at the cool young master and couldn't help but smile.

"How many people are left in the Silver Hand?"

"Three. ”

β€œ...”

At this moment, a ruffian, shrill voice broke the sudden silence of several people.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Cecilia?"
