Chapter 21: Interlude

At night, Leo sat quietly on the dead wood, guarding the fire in front of him, and from time to time adding some firewood to it to prevent it from going out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Is that the Demon Martial Academy......?"

Demon Martial Academy, is the best professional academy on the continent, any profession can be studied there, and there have been many high-level professionals, because there are too many, Leo can't remember who they are. What intrigues Leo is that it has the best education on the continent, a place that any professional would dream of going. Such a place is really a long-term nectar for Leo, who now wants to know what happened to him.

"Demon Martial Academy? I don't know how to get there? If that's right, they're selective admissions...... right. In that case, it is estimated that you will have to compete with those geniuses for those degrees that are not many....... ”

Leo looked at the bright starry sky in the sky, and was very troubled, what should he do? His strength is not very strong, in case he doesn't pass...... So what to do......?

"What the hell should I do...... ”

Leo looked at the sky and thought about his plans for the future.

"Well, Mr. Leo, may I ask ....... ”

Suddenly, the tent was opened, breaking Leo's thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

Leo looked back at Chrissy who had walked out of the tent and came to him.

"Excuse me, can you let me sit across from you?"

"Yes. ”

Chrissy looked like she had something to say, and Leo sat her down. When she sat across from Leo, she didn't have the same appearance as before, showing a look that she wanted to say but couldn't say, and she was very hesitant.

"What do you want to say, why don't you say anything now?"

Leo couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted her to be direct, so it was really anxious.

"This ...... Actually, Mr. Leo, what the hell are you...... What kind of profession? I feel that you have both the breath of magic and the fighting spirit of a warrior, are you a professional of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts? If so, then what kind of profession are you? I am curious about your profession, can you tell me?"

"Demon Martial Dual Cultivation? No, I'm not a professional in Demon Martial Dual Cultivation...... ”

Leo shook his head, he wasn't a sorcerer. In fact, even he himself didn't know exactly what his profession was. This is because he has never systematically studied the knowledge of a professional, nor has he practiced the cultivation methods of a professional. Therefore, not to mention the professional of the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, Leo is not even a professional now, at most he is just a relatively strong apprentice. However, it is really strange that Leo's strength can be compared to that of high-level professionals.

"Isn't it?"

Chrissy was very puzzled, that is, he could do magic and vindictiveness, these were obviously the characteristics of a professional who cultivated both magic and martial arts, why would he say that it was not? This is really strange.

"Actually, this is the second time I've accepted the assignment, and I'm a newcomer. Moreover, the first mission ...... You should know that it's Gathering Biggs, who has just recently become a mercenary. Condition...... Besides, when I was cultivating, I didn't know much about these things. ”

In fact, Leo didn't know anything at all, and all he knew was what he had heard from those mercenaries before, and it was really difficult for him to explain his situation carefully. Therefore, Leo confessed generously, and it didn't do him any good to continue pretending anyway.

"Hmm...... Isn't that really strange? Professionals on this continent who don't know about the profession...... It's basically impossible, isn't it Mr. Leo that your teacher didn't tell you in order to train you? ”

Chrissy paused for a moment, then spoke her guess.

"Teacher...... I don't have a teacher?"

"So, Mr. Leo, you are really powerful, can you cultivate to such strength by yourself without a teacher? Like me, I am still only a sixth-order water magician. ”

Chrissy seemed to be very dissatisfied with her own strength, and after hearing Leo's words, she began to envy Leo.

In fact, Chrissy was the kind of person who was very talented, a seventeen-year-old sixth-order magician, a level that others could only reach in their twenties and thirties. She is still dissatisfied with her strength like this, which is something that makes countless people envious and jealous.

"I don't know much about professionals, though. Can you please tell me some if so?"

Leo knew that he didn't know enough about professionals, and wanted Chrissy to say something so that he could be more confident when he went to the Demon Martial Arts Academy in the future.

"Since Mr. Leo wants to know, I'll explain. But if Mr. Leo wants to know more, he should go to an academy and study hard. ”

Chrissy agrees with Leo, but persuades Leo to visit the academy.

"Well, I have this plan, I'm going to go to the Demon Martial Academy. ”

Leo said his plan, ready to show Chrissy in front of him what he could do.

"Does Mr. Leo want to go to our academy?"

Chrissy was surprised by Leo's decision, but after calming down, she realized that it was normal. After all, Leo's strength can't go to any academy, it's better to go to the Demon Martial Academy.

"In that case, why don't I introduce Mr. Leo to you, just if you want to protect me to our academy, let me help you, anyway, with Mr. Leo's strength, you will definitely be able to get in." ”

"Thank you then. ”

After hearing that Chrissy would help him, Leo's heart suddenly calmed down. After all, if someone helps, no matter what, there is a chance to get in. It doesn't matter, who knows, maybe you have to have a very high talent to get in. Providence? Unfortunately, it is now a human society, a human academy. Heavens, I'm afraid I've forgotten about it.

Soon after, Leo, who was employed, went to the vigil, and he was hired by her father, and no matter how he was, the object of protection, Chrissy, could not be allowed to keep vigil. Therefore, Leo urged Chrissy to rest, and went to the fire to stand guard.

Nights are always long, so Leo practiced the meditation of a magician. Although in a meditative state, the magician can perceive the elements around him. However, it does not mean that the magician can be alerted to the bad environment around him through meditation. And Leo, who is meditating now, is doing this thing that people thought was impossible.

In fact, Leo was thinking about this kind of thing when he practiced meditation before. He thought, since he could perceive the elements around him through meditation. Then, it should also be possible to perceive the surrounding elements to alert the surrounding environment. So, now Leo is able to be in a meditative state to be alert to the bad environment in this vicinity, thanks to this idea. However, he also practiced many times before he could achieve such results. At the very least, he could sense moving objects now.

So, in a state of meditation and vigilance, Leo spent a peaceful night.

At dawn, the golden sunlight shone into the forest, which seemed to have not yet woken up, and the whole forest began to come to life. The surrounding leaves shimmer in emerald green, and all kinds of animals begin to carry out their life activities, and the forest is full of life, giving the impression that the world is beautiful, but nothing more than that.

Seeing that the sun was already out, Leo picked up his luggage and shouted to Chrissy.

"It's time for us to go, and we might be able to get to the nearby town before it gets dark. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Chrissy heard Leo's words, quickly packed up her things, and hurriedly trotted over, almost falling down.

"Are you alright?"

Before she could fall, Leo rushed to the vicinity and grabbed her by the shoulder.

"Well, it's okay, thanks. ”

Chrissy straightened up, straightened up the clothes she had messed up just now, and when she saw that Chrissy was okay, she let go of her hand.

"It's okay, clean up quickly, there's still a lot of way to go today, we're leaving." ”

"Good. ”

It didn't take long for Chrissy to pack her things. So, the two began today's journey.

At noon, the two had finished their lunch, and while they were resting, Chrissy began to chat with Leo.

"By the way, Mr. Leo, when did you start cultivating? With such a powerful strength, you should have started training a long time ago. ”

"Since when......?"

After Leo asked Chrissy something about the Demon Martial Arts Academy, suddenly, Chrissy asked Leo about when he had been cultivating. In fact, Leo didn't know when he himself was cultivating, as if all of a sudden, he had jumped from three years ago to now. What he has now is only his memories of three years ago, what happened in the past three years, what he did, whether he cultivated or not, Leo didn't know, this question really stumped Leo.

"It should be...... Three years ago, right?"

"Three years, oh, three years...... How is it possible !!! three years?!"

Chrissy was frightened by Leo's words, how could it be possible to become a saint in three years? Even Chrissy, who was studying in the Demon Martial Arts Academy, had never heard of a person who could become a saint in three years of cultivation!

"Three years? Oh...... No, no, it's not three years, it's ten years, ten years...... Yes, ten years!"

Leo, who was still thinking about how to answer Chrissy's question, saw Chrissy's reaction, and suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed it.

"Ten...... That's amazing, ten years to become a saint......."

"Isn't that amazing...... hahaha...... That's right. ”

Leo didn't expect that the answer of ten years was still a bit wrong, but after thinking about it, it would be forgotten. Anyway, I don't know how this strength came about, so let's just assume that it was obtained by cultivating for ten years.

"So, Mr. Leo, what kind of person is your master?"

"Master...... Oh, Master, he's a genius, no matter what kind of thing he can do, and it's under his teaching that I have the strength I have now. ”

"Yes, I really hope to visit his old man one day......

"This ...... There should be a chance in the future...... Hahaha. ”

"That's right. ”

Actually, Leo doesn't have a master at all, this master is a fake, and he deceived Chriss.

"Hmm...... So, Mr. Leo, what about ...... What about your parents?

"Father...... Mother?"

"Well, what kind of people are your parents? I always think that the parents who can have a son like this must be very amazing people......

"Father...... Mother?"

Suddenly, Leo's hand tightened into a fist, and then, before Chrissy noticed, let go.

"I ...... There are no parents. ”

"How could it be...... I'm sorry! I shouldn't be asking that question! Sorry!"

Parents...... It's the last thing Leo talks about, and think about it, who would have a good impression of someone who messes up their life? Otherwise, if it's a bad life, will you have a good impression of this person? Obviously, no, no.

"Nothing...... Anyway, I was raised by my master, and my master is my parents. ”

"How can you ...... like that? It's really my fault, I shouldn't have brought you back bad memories. Sorry!"

I barely persuaded Chrissy for this reason, when I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief. Chrissy now apologizes to Leo very solemnly, and she seems to feel pity for Leo, and her eyes are full of apologies and ...... Goodwill?

"Why apologize?"

"Because...... I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness, I'm really sorry!"

Looking at Chrissy's apology, Leo was puzzled. After all, when he was an orphan from the beginning, he met people who would do anything for their own benefit. For food, for money, for power, for life, for many things in the world, people push their opponents off the cliff. In order to be able to feed yourself, in order to be rich, in order to be able to have power, in order to be able to live, in order to be able to have many things.

Good people, in this kind of competition, it is estimated that they will not survive at all. There will always be competition between human beings, which is the law of nature and the unchanging truth. So, how can a good person help others? If you don't have the strength, let alone be a good person, it's impossible to even be a wicked person.

In fact, Leo was born as a child of a large family, and was still a child born to two parents with extraordinary identities. It was supposed to be the kind of aristocratic child who wanted something, and he had a strong "power".

However, a test, just a test, changed his fate in this way.

Because, he was found to have no talent, and he was a waste. So, it is impossible for him to become any professional. Leo's family, however, is a bit of a strange big family. As an only son, Leo has no talent and no talent, which shocks the family. Shocked, the family gave Leo a disposition.

No talent, no talent, useless waste.

In this conclusion, he was ruthlessly abandoned, by them, by the two who were his parents. The reason is simple, he's a ...... of crap.

He still remembers that at that time, he grabbed the corner of his parents' clothes, and his parents directly threw him away. Then, he closed the door and locked Leo out. Before the door could be closed, he saw their eyes, the kind of eyes, disgust, disgust. He didn't know what was going on with their eyes, why they were disgusted, why they were disgusted, he didn't know. All he knew was that now, he was kicked out of his house.

After that, when he was still a child, he became penniless and became a little beggar who knew nothing. When you are hungry and want food, you have to grab it from other beggars. If you don't have any money, you want to buy things, you have to work on your own to earn it, or, to be a thief, to steal money.

After a short period of wandering, he also met a girl who had a similar encounter with him. Driven by his compassion, he helped her. Then, again, because of his worthlessness, he was abandoned. The second time, Leo really didn't feel anything. He knew very well that he had no value. Even if a five- or six-year-old child is more talented than himself, what value can he have? Maybe it was at that time that he was given up and became a substitute for the dead, and his value was nothing more.

So, what did Leo have to hate? They're all right, what could they be wrong with? The world is like this, so, that's how they are. Therefore, the wrong person is just a waste, a worthless self. So, what is the "power" that makes Leo give up by others and make Leo become like this?

From Leo's eyes now, "power" is nothing more than power, money, talent, wisdom, knowledge, mind, connections, power and other "things" that people themselves have, plus some external "things", such as what props, the surrounding environment, the state of the time, the medicine on the body, and so on. In other words, "power" is the value you have, or, more simply, you have to be able to win over others. Because Leo is a waste, he doesn't have enough self-worth for them to keep him, and he doesn't have the strength to win against others. So, Leo was abandoned, as simple as that, and so cruel.

This is what Leo considers to be "power", something that can be said to be something that countless people strive for. Or something that can make the world unstable and unfair. Even, it is still something that can easily decide the life and death of others, or more.

At the same time, "power", which is also the ...... thing that Leo hates the most.

In particular, the hypocrites who have power, he hates them even more.

However, from Chrissy's eyes, nothing else exists.

"Mr. Leo......?"

"Hmm...... what's wrong?"

"It's okay...... Let's get on the road. ”

Leo quickly ended their small talk and began to concentrate on his work.

It's just that for Chrissy, who is now following Leo, Leo's reaction just now made her have more and more questions about Leo in her heart.
