10. Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back
The princess failed to find the brave man in the end, although she was very suspicious of what the great sage said that the brave man had left, she knew that the great sage and the brave man had a good relationship, and it was very likely that she would help him lie, but she didn't have the courage to mess around in the magic tower of the great sage, and after chatting with the great sage for a while, the princess finally left helplessly.
The princess who walked out of the magic tower did not walk away angrily, but first turned back and scolded the magic tower, and the scene of the princess wearing a knight's costume scolding the brave on the street really made people passing by look strange.
The princess was gone for a long time before the brave man walked out of hiding place with Ainia in tow.
The brave man thanked Licoang, and then went upstairs to find the great sage, who did not receive the princess in person, and he was helpless against the angry princess, so he asked the apprentice to lie that he was maintaining the city's guardian circle.
"Thanks, old man. "When the brave man went upstairs, the great sage was studying the demon king's horn, and it was easy to absorb the magic power inside, but it was a long process, and the brave man was obviously not willing to wait that long, so he was studying how to let the magic power inside be released quickly.
"As long as you don't hide from me and never go out. The Great Sage looked up and smiled, and then asked, "Brave, what are you going to do next?"
"After that, of course, I went to the king to receive the honorarium. Then the brave man was a little discouraged, he originally wanted to go to the king quickly, but now it is obvious that he can't do so, "It's a pity that the princess already knows that I have returned, and although she has not found me now, she will definitely wait for me in the palace when she returns, eh......"
"The princess is a very patient person, and if you don't go, she will definitely be able to wait, especially since everyone knows that you will never give up that gratuity. The great sage smiled as if he was watching a play.
"That's why I didn't leave here immediately and go to the palace. The brave man sighed for a long time, although he made the princess lose face in public, and he ran away after pretending to be forced to do so, but now when he came back, he found that things were not so simple, "Sooner or later, I will have to pay it back, I used to think that it was because I was not strong enough, but now I realize that sometimes strength can't solve everything." β
"Didn't you say before that strength can't solve everything, but it can solve the people who create problems, why don't you solve the people who create problems now?" Because the brave man has no intention of leaving, and the great sage can't leave and start experimenting with the characteristics of the Demon King's horn, doing this kind of experiment requires a relatively quiet environment to help him concentrate.
"You're making fun of me again. The brave man said angrily, "Hurry up and think of a way for me, how can I not be caught by the princess and receive the honorarium at the same time?"
"Give up, I don't think that's possible. The great sage replied at once, and the brave man was immediately discouraged, and the great sage said, "I think you should go to the king sooner." β
"What?!" the brave man had a "do you want to see me die?" expression.
"Now only the princess knows that you are back, you only need to face her alone, if it drags on for a while, I am afraid that the saint will also get the news, and then you will face double horror. β
"Hmm...... I think about it. "Although the Great Sage has a lot of truth, sometimes it takes courage to face reality, and most people will subconsciously choose to run away.
"You should be busy first, if I am ready to go, I will leave directly, and I will not greet you when the time comes." The brave man waved his hand as he spoke, and took Ainia downstairs, the relationship between the two is very good, and the brave doesn't need to be too polite with him.
"Hmm. Since the brave man was ready to leave, the great sage did not stay, and immediately lowered his head and began to prepare to study the Demon King's horn, the Demon King's horn is the only rare item in the world, whether it is to help the brave or to satisfy his curiosity, he doesn't want to waste more time in other aspects.
When he went downstairs with Ainia and saw that Ricionn was cleaning the Magic Tower, the Great Sage knew nothing about daily chores, and his apprentice was responsible for taking care of his daily life while living in the Magic Tower.
"You're a genius, too, Ricoon. β
"Really?" replied with a smile on Lycoon.
"That's right, I've seen many magicians, they can't wait to cultivate twenty-four hours a day, but their abilities are still mediocre, but you spend at least ten hours a day just on chores, right? But your strength still surpasses those magicians who have worked hard to cultivate, if you don't have extraordinary talent, you definitely can't cultivate stronger than others in less than half the time, right?"
"How do you know that my cultivation time is not as long as others?" asked Licoon as he stopped what he was doing and looked up at the brave man.
"Huh? Are you the kind of bitch who learns? Is it the kind of slut who eats, drinks and has fun on the surface, and asks others to play with him, but when he comes home he works super hard, and when the results come out, he still shows off, 'just study whatever you want, you don't need to work hard at all'?"
"I didn't eat and drink everywhere, I had to go with other people. Li Keang shook his head helplessly, he always felt that the brain circuits of brave people were a little different from normal people, "I want to say, in fact, I do these chores as part of my cultivation, not that I only cultivate when I am idle to meditate, so my cultivation time is not shorter than anyone else's." β
"Ohβis it that, well, it's the kind of secret technique in the story? A special secret technique that is considered to be practiced every day, is there really such a secret technique? Teach me!" the brave man suddenly became interested, and leaned in front of Licoon's face with great interest.
"How can there be that kind of secret technique, if you want to become stronger, you have to work hard to cultivate, and if you don't cultivate, you want to become strong no matter what, it's impossible. What I said about doing chores is also cultivation, but it's not what you think, I'm just doing chores when I dedicate part of my energy to do magic micro-gymnastics training, but this kind of training is invisible to outsiders and the magic fluctuations are too small, so it will be considered that I am only doing chores and not cultivating. β
"It's boring. The brave man was a little disappointed, but in the next second, a new interest came, "Has there been any change in the magic tower in the past few years......?
"Nope. β
"Forget it, I'll go and have some fun myself. β
The great sage lives an ascetic-like life, and he doesn't have fun like other nobles every day except for practicing, studying magic and other kinds of knowledge, and there are no toys in the magic tower that can bring fun, but for the brave, this is not a matter at all, there are no toys that can be done by himself, anyway, there are all kinds of tools here, and he has learned to use them before, but he is not worried about not achieving the effect he wants.
"I learned some games from the Abyss Demon Clan in the area occupied by the Demon King, and I'm going to make the items I need for the game now. Do you want to play with Lecoon?"
"No, I have a lot of things to do. β
Li Keon opened his mouth, trying to persuade the brave man not to mess around, but thinking about his words, the brave man would definitely not listen to him and give up, and he couldn't help but lament in his heart that he would have to spend a little more time cleaning up the mess for a while.
