"Go, take a bucket to the lake and fetch half a bucket of water. José said to Zero, pointing to the bucket that was placed next to the room.

"Huh?" Zero was stunned, "Aren't you able to control the water? ”

"I'll go if I tell you to," said Josevi with a straight face, "and you have just the right injury and need to exercise more." ”

“......”

Zero was helpless for a while, turned around and walked to the door, picked up the bucket, walked down the stone stairs, and walked down the stone stairs to the lake under the hill.

"Half a barrel is enough. Josevi reminded.

"Got it......" Zero agreed.

After a while, Zero brought half a bucket of water to Josevi, who nodded, and then said to Zero: "Now that you have learned that telekinesis is the origin of magic, then from today onwards, I will teach you how to practice telekinesis, how to use telekinesis more accurately, and you have to learn it by heart." ”

"Hmm. Zero nodded earnestly.

José Willow stretched out her right hand and hung over the bucket and said, "See clearly, I want you to do the same effect as me." ”

Josevi's palm flipped slightly, and after a few moments, the water in the bucket began to flow slowly, and in a few moments a rapidly rotating vortex formed in the bucket. Zero stared at the bucket, wondering how to achieve the same effect as Josevi.

"Practice well, this is just the most basic mental control, you must practice until you are perfect. Once you've practiced this, I'll move on to the next lesson. José Willow finished and touched Zero's head.

"Don't touch my head...... Zero said and ducked back, "Don't worry, I'll do a good job." ”

José Selvey smiled slightly, turned and walked back into the room. Zero stood still, concentrating on manipulating his own telekinesis to extend into the bucket.

Three hours later.

"Sister Qiao, come and see. Zero called out to Josevi, who was sitting at a long table in the room reading a book.

Hearing this, Josevi got up and walked out of the house, and asked as she walked towards Zero, "What's wrong?"

"Look. Zero motioned for José to look at the bucket in front of him.

José looked down at the water in the bucket and saw the calm surface of the water slowly flowing, and after a few seconds, a rapidly rotating whirlpool formed.

Josevi blinked, a wave of surprise in her heart. She originally thought that no matter how high her talent was, she would have to practice for a day or two to reach her level. Controlling water into a vortex is the most basic mental power training method, and it is not easy for people who are new to mental power to manipulate static water to form a stable vortex with mental power. Even a ninage magician can only create a small whirlpool that can rotate steadily on the surface of the water after practicing for several days, but this kid can actually create a whirlpool with such a fast speed in a few hours, and his talent in telekinesis is indeed higher than ordinary people.

"How did you do that?" asked Josevi curiously, Zero.

"Uh...... Imagine a whirlpool. Zero replied, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from the sun on his forehead.

"Imagination, you rely on imagination?" José was a little puzzled.

"Whirlpool...... It is a spiral confluence formed by two or more streams that have different directions and velocities, and are intertwined with each other by touching each other and attracting each other. Then divide the telekinesis into several wisps, drive the flow of water, and create a stream of water with different velocities that wrap around the center, and once there is inertia, the whirlpool will naturally appear. Zero explained to Josevi, "Actually, I was able to create a whirlpool after a few attempts, but I was not as skilled as you, and the speed of the whirlpool was not as fast as yours, and I practiced until I was the same as you. ”

Josevi laughed after hearing Zero's words, she nodded her head in satisfaction and said, "Yes, it seems that you are indeed very talented, I originally thought that you would take the initiative to ask me when you encountered something you didn't understand, but I didn't expect you to think it out for yourself." It seems that you have a very thorough understanding of the essence of the phenomenon beneath the surface, and you are very perceptive, which is good. ”

"Uh...... This, haha......" Zero was a little embarrassed by her praise, scratching his head and laughing.

"It's all I saw in books in my last life...... Zero said in his heart.

Josevi touched Zero's head and said to him, "Then I want you to create two whirlpools in this bucket that flow in opposite directions, and I'll show you this, and you look carefully." ”

José didn't raise her hand this time, she just stared at the bucket, and after a few moments, two vortices of opposite currents swirled in it at great speed.

"One clockwise, the other counterclockwise, the two vortices should flow at the same velocity. José said.

"Oooh......" Zero looked at the two whirlpools in the bucket, thinking about how to do it.

The difficulty of creating two whirlpools with different flow directions in one bucket is not comparable to making a whirlpool, not only controlling the telekinesis to drive the water flow to rotate into two whirlpools with different rotation directions, but also keeping the flow rate the same, which is not something that can be described with just one heart and two minds.

Zero wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, José Sail patted his head and said, "Don't worry, let's practice again after lunch, I have to go out after eating, you stay here and practice and don't run around, you will lose your life if you run around." ”

"Where are you going?" asked Zero.

"Help you get a few clothes so you don't have to wear my clothes all the time. Josevi said, looking at Zero's white shirt, which looked a little wide on the upper body.

Zero blushed in embarrassment, his own shirt was worn out from the run, his pants were torn with several holes, and the storage ring he used to hold his luggage was missing, leaving him with no clothes to change. When he got out of bed today, he was wearing Josevi's clothes, but fortunately his pants were not worn too badly, otherwise he wouldn't even have to wear pants when he got out of bed.

"You're still going out shopping?" Zero suddenly thought of something.

Josevi gave a blank look and said, "I just live here, and I'm not a savage, so why don't I buy anything?" Do you think that all the furniture in the house is made by me from cutting wood?"

"I really thought you were a master who lived alone and didn't cause dust......" Zero said with a smile.

"Poor ......"

The sun was setting in the west, and in the distant sky, flocks of bird shadows crossed the sunset-filled sky, and from time to time a few animal roars came from afar.

The breeze blew through the ends of Zero's hair, taking away a trace of heat for him, in fact, it was quite cool in this deep mountain and dense forest, but his spirit today has always been in a tense state, so he feels a little tired.

Zero raised his head and looked at the continuous forest sea reflected by the sunset in the distance, and felt a sigh of emotion in his heart. He almost died more than ten days ago, and it is a blessing that he can still stand here and enjoy the beautiful sunset today. After walking through the ghost gate, he cherished his current life immensely, and he was very grateful to Josevi, if it weren't for her, he would be a corpse now.

There was footsteps behind him, and Zero looked back to see José walking up the stone stairs and looking at him.

"Why are you lazy?

"Oh...... I've just finished practicing, come and see. Zero replied with a smile.

Josevi walked up to him and watched as he created two whirlpools in opposite directions in the bucket, two whirlpools of the same size, half of each in the bucket, turning rapidly.

"Not bad......," José Sofa praised, "how long did it take you?"

Zero retracted his telekinesis and replied, "I have been practicing since the afternoon until now, and it is much more difficult than making a whirlpool in the morning." ”

José looked at Zero, who was looking up at him and wiping his sweat as she spoke, and reached out and touched his head.

"Don't always touch my head, I'm still growing tall, and you'll never touch it taller. Zero took a step back and dodged.

"At a young age, you are still so exquisite~" Josevi pursed her lips and smiled, "In short, the practice is not bad, don't be proud, you have to practice a lot of things~"

Zero said helplessly: "What is there to be proud of, I can't even use a magic until now......

"Take your time, you can learn, you can come here today, and practice again tomorrow," Josevi said, taking Zero's hand and walking into the house, "I bought food, let's go back to the house to eat first, and I also bought you clothes, you can try to fit it after eating, and have a good rest at night." ”

"Oh, what a ......"

"By the way, I also bought a small bed, and we put it together at night, so that you can sleep next to me in the future, so that we don't have to squeeze a bed every day. ”

"Uh......"

As night fell, the faint sound of water flowing outside the hidden window, and the rustling of insects and insects accompanied by the rustle of the evening breeze through the trees came to my ears, which made people feel reassured.

The lights in the wooden house were all turned off, the moonlight shone into the room through the white gauze wooden windows, and Zero lay on the bed in the darkness and quietly looked at the roof.

After lying on his back for a while, he felt his neck stiffen a little, moved slightly, and then he rolled over and lay on his side, which happened to meet Joséve's eyes, which were still bright in the darkness.

The two of them spent some time in the evening putting together a single bed that Joseville had bought, which was placed to the left of Josevi's bed, with a small bedside table in between. Because of this small bed, the already slightly crowded wooden house seems even more cramped, after all, this wooden house was originally built for one person.

José was wearing snow-white and thin pajamas, the quilt was casually covered on her body, her slender and white long legs were exposed to the air, her beautiful figure and blown-out skin looked particularly charming in the dark night, and she didn't dare to look at it at a glance, but just looked at her quietly.

"Can't you sleep?" Josevi asked him softly.

Zero looked at Josevi, who was lying on her side on the bed and was slightly lazy, and replied in a low voice, "I'm a little sleepy......"

"Do you want me to sing and put you to sleep?" asked Josevi with a smile.

"No need to ......," Zero refused, "You don't think of me as a child." ”

"But you're a child. Josevi said, staring into Zero Silver-Grey Eyes.

"That's not what you thought when you asked me to wash the dishes and chopsticks by myself...... Zero said helplessly.

Josevi smiled slyly and said, "That's because your injuries have just healed and you need to exercise more." ”

"......" Zero was speechless for a while.

The two were silent for a moment, and then Josevi asked Zero, "Why don't you want to learn fighting spirit?"

Zero looked at Josevie's big blue-gray eyes that reflected a little bit of light at night, and replied to her: "Maybe it's because I saw too many warriors in Crete's house before, so I feel that Dou Qi is just like that, I always feel that Dou Qi is dead, and magic is alive." Dou Qi has been cultivated to the peak of human beings, but there are still many unsolved mysteries of magic waiting to be explored. Man...... Always turn a blind eye to what you already know, and think about what you can't get. I'm probably a bit of a vulgar person......"

Tiredness welled up, Zero sighed, blinked slowly, José Sevi looked at Zero and asked, "Just because of this, you ran away from home?"

"Of course it's more than that, I've told you all, there's nothing more to say......" Zero didn't want to bring up the old story again, he fell silent and said no more.

José saw a hint of impatience in Zero's eyes, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, she raised her hand to brush the messy hair in front of her forehead, and asked Zero, "What about in the future?"

"I'm not going back. Zero replied categorically, "They probably thought I was dead...... This is the best outcome, the Cretan family has no descendants of disobedient elders, the sword saint Wayne will no longer be ridiculed for having a bad son, and Princess Iselle can pursue her ideal love...... Although the death of a person may grieve those around him, sooner or later people will come out of their grief and continue with their lives, so that I can pursue my life with peace of mind......"

José looked at the sadness that flashed in Zero's eyes, and the relief and determination that followed, and she watched as Zero turned over after saying this, lying on her back on the bed, her hands on the back of her head, and looking at the roof. She felt that this young and old child had a lot of unknown thoughts, and although his actions seemed a little selfish and naïve, he actually had a heart for freedom and ideals.

"If you really want to go back......

José Victory's thoughts were pulled back when she heard Zero's words, and she quietly looked at his immature side face and listened to his clear voice.

"I mean, if one day I decide to go back...... Zero tilted his head and glanced at Josevie, "it must be that I have learned magic very well, and I am confident that I can beat a Juggernaut, and when the time comes, I must make an appointment with Wayne, the proudest swordsman of the Cretan family, and I will fight him fairly in front of everyone, and then defeat him with dignity, and finally tell him that magic is not inferior to the power of vindictiveness." ”

"Why did you do that?" asked Josevi softly.

"Because he despises magic," said Zero, tilting his head at Josevie, "he's not the only one, it seems like a lot of people in the Cretan family despise magic." ”

"This is normal," Josevi said, "Although the Magical Revolution has brought the continent into the Age of Source Energy, the concept of Dou Qi as the original power of the human body still exists in the minds of many people, and many powerful warriors have a strong prejudice against magicians. At the beginning of magic, people who practiced magic were even isolated from the general public, and this continued for a long time. It wasn't until later that magic gradually became recognized by the general public. ”

"Cut ~ This is self-contained, if human civilization wants to progress, it must continue to innovate and forge ahead, pursue new things, and will be abandoned by the times sooner or later. Zero scoffed.

José Sherway chuckled and lay on her side on the bed, she looked at Zero's immature face and said: "Justice is at ease in people's hearts, and truly rational people will not despise magic or vindictiveness, both of which are themselves forces that humans can control, and there is only a difference between being discovered by humans sooner or later." ”

Zero continued, "That's why I'm going to learn magic well, and one day I'm going to use magic to defeat a Juggernaut, and then I'll tell everyone that magic is a force that can compete with vindictiveness." ”

Josevi exhaled lightly from the tip of her nose, looked at Zero's stubborn and serious expression and smiled, "Actually, you want to prove it to your family, to prove to them that even if you don't follow the path they arranged, you can become a strong person." ”

"I didn't...... Am I so naïve?" replied Zero, pouting.

"Actually...... There is a stubborn child hidden in everyone's heart, they have their own path to follow, and they have the freedom they want to pursue...... It's just that because of reality, they all hid the child. ”

Josevi's soft voice reached Zero's ears, and it was as if a string had been touched in his heart, and the string, which was hidden deep and covered with dust, was suddenly plucked, and a puff of dust swayed on the string, and it fell on his heart.

Zero calmly looked at Josevie's watery eyes and asked her, "What about you, what are you after?"

Josevi just looked at him and smiled without saying a word, and Zero asked again: "Actually, I've always been curious, you are indeed a young sister, but how can you live alone in the deep mountains and old forests? Don't you feel lonely?

Josevi pursed her cherry lips and smiled, she exhaled between her noses, looked at Zero and said: "Nostalgia, but after a long period of nostalgia, it will also give birth to a sense of boredom, in fact, I haven't lived in this forest for too long, but I am a little tired of the life in the world and just find a clean place to live temporarily." Maybe one day I get tired of insects and birds, ancient trees and lakes, and mountains, and I want to leave again......"

"Will you take me with you?" asked Zero, with a flicker.

"Probably not. Joseville replied.

Seeing a look of disappointment flashing across Zero's face, she reached out and touched the side of his face and said to him, "Because I think that if you really want to help you grow into a strong person who can take charge on your own, you should let you walk alone for a while." ”

"Then when you meet again on the street, don't pretend you don't know me. Zero smiled at her.

"Of course not," José said, looking at him earnestly, "I'll give you a hug and tell you long time no see." ”

"The people around me will be envious of me, because the person who hugged me was a big beauty. Zero laughed and teased.

José Sherway smiled, pinched Zero's cheek and said, "Your little mouth is very sweet." Hurry up and go to sleep, and tomorrow I will teach you to practice mindfulness. ”

"You must teach well, I must learn magic well. ”

"Don't worry, let's sleep......"
