During the caravan's journey, no accidents occurred. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everything was in order, very smoothly.

Today's weather is good, and even with it, the mood is better.

They were either on horseback or on carts, and the horses were so obedient that at least they couldn't beat the man on their back.

"I mean, you're so useless, aren't you?" the leader looked a little helpless, "you don't even know how to ride a horse!" he was talking to the eight newcomers, and anyway, they still had a lot to learn, including horseback riding. In this world, not being able to ride a horse is the same as not being able to ride a bicycle.

"Sorry for holding you back. There's nothing they can do about it, "but we really don't know how to ride horses... ”

The school has a lot to teach students, and these graduates learn basic, intermediate, and advanced spell-casting skills in the school, and learn all kinds of wizarding skills such as stargazing, rune engraving, enchantment, all kinds of magic, as well as alchemy, all kinds of observation, and so on.

But the school did not teach students to ride horses.

"I'm really sorry. "I think we're going to need time." ”

The most important thing to learn to ride is to learn to communicate with your mount, but obviously they didn't learn that.

I still remember a few days ago one of them wanted to learn to ride a horse, but as soon as he sat on it, the horse couldn't stop, and took him all the way to gallop, and finally it was solved with the help of the other brothers, this experience brought them a little psychological shadow, but it still worked, at least that person was able to control the horse to stop and turn according to his own wishes.

But the remaining seven have not yet taken the first step.

So they have to occupy a board cart.

Time passed quickly, and after walking all morning, it was finally time for lunch, and the leader Alek commanded loudly to prepare a simple meal.

There are not too many requirements now, you can be casual in the city, and when you go to the wild, you can only eat porridge and drink vegetable soup, unless you go out to hunt and open meat, and they really do it, Albert eats very fast, Cecilia eats very fast, they find a big rock to sit on, wait for lunch time to pass, and now there are twenty minutes of rest left, which is quite sufficient.

At this time, a tiny figure appeared in the distance, far away from here, and gradually, everyone noticed that the two figures were constantly getting closer, closer and closer, and more and more clear.

This is the wilderness, pure wilderness, and the nearest village from here will take three days to get there, so who are those two people?

They're still coming here, slowly, and finally people know, who they are.

These are the two Self-Challengers.

Two shirtless, cloaked people appeared in front of them, their pants were dirty, with a lot of leaky eyes, like beggars, but in those eyes, there was a pure to the extreme, and a strong willpower like fire, in the detection of spiritual power, they were covered with engraved runes, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them didn't intend to hide, just from the perspective of that strong spiritual power, people wouldn't find them at all.

It seems that they should have survived in the wild for a long time, and the two of them came here just to ask people for a bowl of hot soup.

People are saluting both of them and expressing their sincere greetings to these two warriors.

Because they are brave people who dare to challenge their talents.

Self-challengers, also known as ascetics, are all respectable, and their talents are just ordinary people, and there are even some people whose talents are weaker than those of ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, they can only follow the rules and become part of the crowd.

But the Self-Challengers have chosen a different path, one that is fraught with difficulties and obstacles.

Talent is very important, very important, all people will be controlled by talent, but it is innate, in order to overcome the influence of low talent, these people decided to challenge themselves in extreme environments, temper their willpower, make their minds as hard as rigid, polish their bodies, let their bodies be enough to withstand the pain beyond the limit, and take that crucial step: [Activation of the energy circulation system].

When they think that their willpower is enough, and the [Energy Circulation System] that has been activated beyond the limit is ready, the main event will begin.

This is also the most painful process: Self-Soul Imprint.

The whole operation, like a person who doesn't know how to operate at all, does not operate on himself without anesthetic, is full of danger, and the pain is extreme, a total of thousands of runes, will be engraved on their souls one by one.

The process of engraving each rune will make people feel like they are being tortured in the deepest part of hell.

Albert has seen self-challengers who have finally chosen to give up, and none of them are willing to mention how they feel in the process.

Basically, only one person out of hundreds is willing to do this, and even fewer can endure the inhuman torture, once they give up, they will never have the courage to continue trying, but the two people in front of them have done it, and the runes on their souls that are not hidden at all are proof that they have succeeded.

"Hey, two gentlemen. He stepped forward and said, "May I ask if you are the ones who live here permanently?"

"No, we're traveling, all the way from the northern prairies. Both were accommodating and answered his questions with a smile.

"So, how long did it take you?" "About twenty years. ”“???!”

Their answers were astonishing, even unbelievable, but there was not even the slightest hint of joke in their expressions.

"So, how exactly did you spend twenty years?" "There's not much to say, just a lot of places. One of them waved his hand casually, "We passed through deserts, fields, jungles, grasslands, volcanoes, glaciers, and by the way swam past a large lake. "Yes, these are the places. Another chimed in, "We have traveled a lot and lived in these places for a while. ”

At this point, the two people, who had always been quiet, suddenly opened up the conversation and introduced him to the scenery along the way, as well as the many things they encountered.

"For a long time, we didn't know much about the distribution of animals, and we encountered a lot of dangers. "Yes, in the north, there are many places where demon bears live, they are very territorial, and they are very difficult to deal with at first, and this is how the scar on my neck came about, and it almost cut off my head. "Their claws are very sharp, so it's best not to melee them. ”

"There are a lot of big bugs living in the desert, such as a very large scorpion. "It's very toxic, and the venom is much more corrosive than the burrowers. "So the first step in dealing with them is to cut off their tails. "You have to be fast, you don't even have time to react if you're stabbed." ”

"Some of the primeval jungles are also dangerous, especially beware of bugs. "For example, there is a super powerful ant, we call it a man-eating ant. "They are fragile and don't corrupt magic, but they can release venom to completely paralyze their prey, silently killing them. "It's a good thing we found it early, otherwise it would have been their dinner, and the bite of that bug is so strong, it's a nightmare." ”

"There are wolves in a lot of wilderness, grassland environments. "Of course it doesn't mean ordinary wolves, ordinary wolves just feed us. "Those wolves can glide briefly with magical power, and the siege is so orderly that it will be difficult for you to escape. "But we fought hard to kill the wolf king, and without the leader, those cunning animals soon dispersed. ”

"The volcano is a lot better, so you don't have to worry about being attacked. "Yes, you can rest as much as you want, but be careful of the flowing lava, my feet are almost roasted. "I remember when you stepped on it and smashed that thin layer of surface, which was full of unsolidified magma. "I was so shocked that I thought I was going to lose one of my feet. "Healing can't restore cooked meat to its original appearance. ”

"And that big glacier, there are very few animals, so you don't have to worry about attacking. "Unfortunately, as in the volcano, there is no food, although there is no need to worry about stepping on one foot and roasting one. "Well, there's a lack of water in the volcanoes, and there is water everywhere on the glaciers. "We almost starved to death. ”

"It's okay at the lake, we cheer each other on all the way. "yes, we're brothers, it's really big, and we've almost been able to use magic a few times. "Swam all the way to the river. "There's a carnivorous fish there. ”

"Doesn't sound like a good place. Cecilia interjected, "You've walked so much. ”

"It's quite a lot, and I've basically walked through most of the area. "We're going to take on another challenge and find a storm at sea or something. ”

"Then good luck to you. Albert handed them a piece of roast meat, "I hope you succeed." ”

"Thank you, we've never failed. "Not once. ”

Under the gaze of the crowd, they ate the barbecue in a few clicks, got up, and continued to move on.

Where will they be seen in the future?
