Chapter 4: Shaperina

"Ariel, come with me with the food, I want to go to the cave to see. ”

Ayton pulled the girl to collect the food and quickly left the restaurant. According to his memory, he walked in the direction of leaving the cave entrance to the dark area, because the cave entrance in his residence was too far away, so he had never been to the cave entrance, but had only heard from others.

"Damn slave, you make trouble for Lao Tzu every day, and you dare to riot, you dead old man wants to deliberately kill me, see if I don't kill you. ”

A dark elf man was frantically beating a dwarf old man, cursing viciously in his mouth, the dwarf's dirty beard was stained with mud and blood, but he didn't make a scream, there were a large number of dwarven slaves around, they were indignant, but because the dark elf was holding a bloody sword in his hand, no one dared to go up to stop it.

"What do you see, hurry up and go back to Lao Tzu to strike iron, everyone is not allowed to eat if they don't complete the specified tasks today. After the dark elf man said viciously, he kicked the dwarf in the back again, and the dwarf slaves around him were powerless, sighed, and went back to the house to build weapons.

At this time, they are now in the forging area, and no one in the dark elves can craft weapons, and the weapons they are using now are basically forged by captured dwarven slaves.

Ayton turned his head to resist the discomfort in his heart, and hurried out of the place.

The two of them walked for about 5 hours, and finally saw the entrance of the cave, the entrance of the cave in front of them, a bright white light shot into the edge of the hole, and the world outside the cave could not be seen clearly, and the faint red moon light behind them almost dissipated....

That white light was like a path to freedom. And I don't know why, now there is no one around.

"Ariel, look, the hole," Ayton said happily, sweeping away the tiredness of his body. Pull the girl and run forward, where is the gate of freedom.

"Hmm" Ariel also came to the cave for the first time, and there was an inexplicable sense of joy in her heart.

The moment they arrived at the entrance of the cave, a breath of fresh air immediately rushed towards them, and the eyes of the two people who had never been seen before were pierced by the sun's rays, and it took a long time.

The two opened their eyes at the same time, stood at the entrance of the cave, and looked around side by side.

"Wow," Ariel exclaimed, the tall trees intertwined with each other, scattered birds flying in the blue sky, and unknown insects chirping in her ears, all of which had never been seen in the underworld.

Ayton also smiled happily, finally leaving the hellish place, the dark cave was full of despair and depression, and finally felt a long-lost sense of relaxation under this vast sky.

However, the smile on Ayton's face gradually froze, as he was horrified to find that they were in a basin about ten miles in radius, surrounded by steep cliffs, about 200 meters high, and they couldn't climb up with their current size, no wonder he had heard before that at least a third-order high-level warrior could not leave the dark cave.

Ayton felt a deep despair in his heart, could he only stay underground until he cultivated to the fourth order before leaving, then he could only go out for at least eight or nine years! Staying with those bloodthirsty madmen, Ayton was afraid that he and Ariel would be assimilated by them.

Ariel turned her head to see Ayton's frightened expression, quickly understood what was in his heart, and took his hand.

"It's okay, brother, I'll always be with you. ”

Yes, I still have Ariel, and seeing Ariel with a hint of worry on her expression, Ayton gradually relaxed.

"Well, we're going to get out of here. ”

"Why doesn't my brother like it so much?"

"Because...... The people here are so brutal that I don't like it. ”

"Ary, promise me not to be like them. Ayton said as he looked straight into Ariel's ruby eyes, and there was no bloodthirsty scarlet in them at this time.

"Well, I'm not going to be like them, I don't want to be hated by my brother. Ariel nodded earnestly.

"Okay, we're going to train hard and get out of here as soon as possible, I want to take you out into the world" Ayton squeezed Ariel's hands.

"Brother, it's a matter of words. ”

"I promise"

In his previous life, Ayton rarely went outside, and basically stayed at home. So in this life, he plans to travel to another world, not only for himself, but also for Ariel.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Ayton didn't plan to go any further, because it was about 5 p.m., and they had to go back to the cave for five hours from about 12 noon, and they had to go to training the next day.

When passing by the forging area, Ayton found that the old dwarven man who had been beaten before was lying motionless in the middle of the road, covered in blood, and there was no one around, and the violent dark elf was nowhere to be seen, probably tired and resting.

Ayton didn't want to be nosy, and was about to pass by him.

"Help, help, me..." A weak voice came from the ground.

"Hey," Ayton sighed, crouching down to inspect the dwarf's injuries.

It was found that the injuries were not serious, most of them were skin injuries, probably because the dwarf was strong enough and recovered well enough, and the wounds had already scabbed.

Ayton lifted the dwarf's head and shook it slightly, saying:

"Hey, wake up. ”

"Water .." The dwarf said confusedly

Ayton poured him a drink, and after a while, the dwarf gradually came to his senses, and found himself lying in the arms of a dark elf boy, and immediately opened his eyes in horror, struggling to push Ayton away, but the weakness of his body made Ayton hurry like a baby hammering him in the chest.

Ayton let go of the dwarf with a complicated expression, and the dwarf quickly stood up and looked at Ayton warily.

"Ariel, give me a piece of bread. Ariel still had a piece of black bread in her hand, which they had intended for dinner.

"Ahh

Ayton handed the bread to the dwarf, but he took a step back. Feeling helpless, Ayton stepped forward and took the dwarf's hand and forced the bread on his hand with a look of surprise.

"Live well. ”

Then he pulled the confused Ariel by the head and walked away without looking back, and the dwarf seemed to be stunned, not understanding what the dark elf child meant, and looked in the direction Ayton had left.

......

"Brother, why are you so nice to that dwarf slave?"

“... Maybe it's to alleviate the guilt in my heart. ”

It was already night when we got back to the cave

The two of them engaged in magical meditation for a while and fell asleep.

The Dark Elf Queen's Palace, located in the center of the dark elf city of Drow, is dominated by black and purple tones, with the combination of elven patterns and demonic flames to make the palace look particularly eerie.

At this time, the dark elf master mother Akdia was sitting on the throne obliquely, with a tall figure, two smooth long legs swaying slightly on Erlang's legs, a pair of red eyes half-squinted as if she had just woken up, but the whole person did not look angry and arrogant, and a queen's temperament came to her face.

A young dark elf woman wearing a black cloak and a black hood walked in with her head bowed, kneeling on one knee when she was almost twenty meters away.

"Your Majesty, your daughter has been found, and she is now training in Daisy's batch of newborns. ”

"Oh~, do I own my daughter, how is the talent?"

"It's a great talent, and it's worth cultivating. ”

"Alright then, you can train her yourself in the future, I want her to become the best killer of the younger generation. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Is there anything else? ”

"There has been another slave revolt in the Forge District, but it has been suppressed. ”

"Hmph, who's the manager there, kill him, and then someone else to take care of it. ”

"Yes," and the woman in black replied briefly, slowly leaving the palace.

Following

The blood moon rises,

The two headed to the training ground as usual.

It turned out that in addition to the two instructors yesterday, there was also a young dark elf woman in the venue.

I saw that she was wearing a black close-fitting leather jacket, black close-fitting shorts, and black boots, a close-fitting dress perfectly outlined her sexy figure, delicate facial features, lilac skin was very smooth, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

After Ayton and Ariel's arrival, the red pupils immediately locked on Ariel, making people feel nervous like a leader examining the interviewer.

She's here for Ariel, why

Ariel was uncomfortable to look at, and Ayton subconsciously stood in front of Ariel, blocking the sexy woman's view. Then her gaze naturally shifted to Ayton, who looked at it with interest, and looked at it with a smile on her face.

After a while, the crowd arrived.

"Daisy, she's training with me in the future," the young woman said, pointing at Ariel

"Oh, you take it," Daisy glanced away, as if she had expected it.

Ariel looked startled, her hands clutching the corners of Ayton's clothes. Ayton turned around to soothe Ariel, then looked the woman in the eye and said in a deep voice, "Who are you and what are you going to take Ariel." ”

She raised her eyebrows, "Yo, you dare to talk to me like this, are you impatient?" ”

"Who the hell are you and what do you want to do," Ayton said firmly, and while he had told him that this woman had no ill intentions, he had to figure it out.

"Oh, interesting, I'm the chief assassin of the Dark Elves, Shaperina, and I'm going to take Ariel as an apprentice. ”

"Why"

“...... Because of the order of the Mistress," Shaperina said with a frown

"Shaperina, take her away quickly, and don't delay us in teaching the other newcomers. Rykrano urged impatiently

"Shut up, Rykrano, you don't care about me. Shaperina glanced at him disdainfully.

Why would the Queen of the Dark Elves deliberately cultivate Ariel, but it doesn't seem to mean to harm Ariel.

Ayton sighed, he was too weak now to have the authority to make decisions at all, "Ariel, come with her, stay safe." ”

"Brother, but..."

"Don't talk nonsense, come with me, I'll let you come back in the evening" Shaperina grabbed Ariel and walked away.

Ayton watched Ariel still look back, but he was helpless in his heart, and he only hoped that Shaperina would treat Ariel well.

"Okay, let's all go run ten laps first, today I will teach you how to cultivate Douqi, and the last person to run ten laps will be whipped by me. Rykrano snapped.

With the lesson of yesterday's ten laps, everyone ran fast in today's ten laps, but this time the instructor did not say that the last one in each lap was a whip, which means that yesterday there would be ten whips, and today only one whip was used.

In fact, it is also, with their current body, let alone ten whips, no one can insist on running after the first lap of the first lap, and yesterday it was like a set of rules to directly eliminate the one with the worst physique, and today I hope that all the staff can insist on completing all the courses.

Ayton silently counted the number of people today, and found that Dan Mo, who was kicked out of the team yesterday, was actually among them, clenched his teeth and ran silently, and Instructor Rykrano didn't know if he didn't notice him, or that he didn't care if everyone was there every day.

Running on the huge playground, Ayton suddenly realized that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that he had already run ten laps yesterday and reached his limit, and then he walked almost a day to and from the entrance of the cave, which should have exceeded the limit of his body. And why didn't I feel soreness in my legs, but ran more easily than yesterday.

Could it be that the dark elf's body recovers very quickly, no, then why didn't the recovery speed be so fast before, and... Ayton silently glanced at the others and saw that they were still struggling.

And his ranking at this time is already very high, you must know that yesterday he and Ariel were in the middle and lower reaches.

When he finished running, seeing that Rykrano had no new instructions, and was still waiting for the last people to finish running, Ayton entered a meditative state cross-legged on the spot, and after practicing for a while, it was obvious that the fatigue in his body was subsiding.

It turns out that meditation can help you recover from your body's fatigue quickly, but why did everyone meditate yesterday, but his recovery speed is so much faster than others?

At this time, Ayton didn't know that because of the crossing, his mental power was twice as large as that of ordinary people, which also meant that the speed of meditation was twice that of others, which was why his physical state had fully recovered after a good night's sleep.

The sound of a leather whip hitting the flesh pulled Ayton back to reality from his meditative state, and it turned out that before he knew it, everyone was finished.

As Ayton expected, because of the leg injury, the last place was still Danmo, and the only thing that surprised Ayton a little was that he didn't scream today, just gritted his teeth and snorted.

Rykrano doesn't show mercy to his subjects because they are young, and the blood marks on his body make people feel furious when they look at it, but Danmo has never let out a terrible scream like the two people who were punished yesterday.

"Good boy, it's quite enduring," Rykrano laughed contemptuously, and turned to explain the cultivation method of vindictiveness

"The cultivation of Dou Qi is divided into four stages, which are induction, absorption, operation, and storage. Induction refers to the induction of fighting qi from the body, and absorption is the absorption of the sensed qi into the body. Running is to run the qi absorbed into the body according to a certain route to the place where the body is stored, that is, the space of the fighting qi. Storage refers to the storage of qi together, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it forms a fighting qi. ”

Next, Rykrano described in detail how to cultivate the four stages of basic Dou Qi.

Different from magic power, Dou Qi is sensed from the body, and magic is sensed from the outside world, and the absorption of magic power must be absorbed in the process of meditation, and Dou Qi can be absorbed in the process of fighting, just like the instructor asked them to finish running and then practice Dou Qi, absorbing Dou Qi when the speed of qi and blood is fast can often get twice the result with half the effort, and all fighters will often break through in the process of fighting. It's hard for magicians.

The cultivation of Dou Qi was also very smooth, but one person was thrown out of the crowd by the instructor because he couldn't perceive the Dou Qi in his body, saying that he was only worthy of managing slaves in the future and could not become an excellent dark elf warrior.

The morning passed quickly, and Ayton's mind was empty when the training session was over.

I don't know how Ariel is doing, where she is training, she says that she will not be released until the evening, and she will go to the cave entrance this afternoon to observe the situation.

Ayton planned to go to the cave again by himself to observe the terrain. Passing through the forge area, it was found that all the dwarves were striking iron, and several dark elves were supervising them. Ayton stopped to look, and saw that the old dwarven man who had fallen to the ground yesterday was also striking iron, and it seemed that no dark elf would sympathize with him because of his death.

The dwarf also spotted Ayton, but the overseer next to him didn't dare to move, so Ayton nodded at him and walked in the direction of the cave.

Coming to yesterday's experience again, Ayton seemed familiar all the way, and when he came to the entrance of the cave, he decided to go around the neighborhood first, and found that there were only some small animals or something around, and the large carnivores were estimated to have been cleared long ago, and the surrounding cliffs were bare, and a slight cold wind blew from time to time, so he could only climb up by relying on the raised rocks on the cliff, but if he accidentally stepped on the air, he would probably have to fall to pieces, and Ayton didn't want to take this risk.

If only he could fly, I don't know if there will be flying magic in this world, Ayton couldn't help but think.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here" A shrill voice suddenly interrupted Ayton's thoughts from behind him.
