Chapter 12: Warmth

Du Yueming took a magnifying glass and searched for a long time on the map of the Western Continent with a pen, and finally found that there was no mark on the location of the small city of Yangxi City.

On the vast western border, there are only a few large and small countries, a few large rivers and mountains, and only a few cities that are relatively important.

In fact, the western boundary is already the most detailed marking, and the other continents are even less marked. Especially in the Demon Realm, there are only two words "Demon Realm" marked in such a large area, which seems extremely empty.

This map has no highlights except for the retro appearance of the parchment, and the annotation can be said to be extremely perfunctory. Generally speaking, the more detailed the map, the more valuable it is, and it's clear that the map is more decorative than practical, so it's no wonder that the Scrooge boss is so generous.

Du Yueming put down the magnifying glass and pen, casually threw the map into the drawer, and stopped thinking about it.

There are some things that are useless to think about too much, and you will only know when you have personally touched that level.

Time passes slowly. The goddess of the night kissed the earth, and night fell quietly.

Every night, Lin Yuetong and Rison always arrive as scheduled, always at that time, eight o'clock, the time when the eternal night of the mainland has just arrived, neither more nor early, and they always come and go quietly.

The first class before the start of the training will always be the cultural class of Risen, the two of them sat on the sofa face to face, and Risen was extremely patient to explain to Du Yue in detail.

The content of the cultural course covers a wide range of aspects, including history, simple mathematics, aristocratic etiquette, military science, potions and monsters, and even the unpopular occult.

Gradually, Du Yueming's understanding of the world became clearer and clearer, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at the depth of knowledge of Risen.

The longer the contact time, the more Du Yueming felt that the person Rison was simply a perfect existence in the human standard.

He is mysteriously powerful and knowledgeable, with a sculptural face, a modest smile on his face, and a gentle tone of voice.

Sometimes Du Yueming felt that this person seemed to be too perfect, which made him feel a little unreal.

In contrast, although Lin Yuetong also made Du Yueming quite distant, Du Yueming could still clearly feel the breath that belonged to people from her, and the subtle beating emotions on her body were not as impeccable as Ris Inn.

While Du Yueming is making cultural reserves, the amount of training is also quietly increasing.

Almost every time he completed a training, Lin Yuetong's pupils would mercilessly increase by a percentage on the original basis, which made Du Yueming feel that Lin Yuetong had a feeling of being inappropriate.

However, although Lin Yuetong was extremely strict, she would quickly stop every time Du Yueming was at the limit, which Du Yueming also knew, but she did not slack off. Lin Yuetong's real purpose is actually just to train Du Yueming, not to fix him, so between the two, one teaches and the other learns, but they maintain a tacit understanding.

In Du Yueming's heart, he recognizes this kind of training, because the improvement brought by training is obvious.

He needed the strength to live better in this world, and he knew that this was an opportunity for him, and many people had never encountered such an opportunity in their lives.

The days of the week went by in a blink of an eye.

For normal people in the outside world, a week has passed, but for Du Yueming, who is in the chaotic space, more than two months have actually passed. In the past two months, Du Yueming's rank has been upgraded from a first-order three-star to a first-order five-star, which is actually not very fast, because the improvement of the first-order fighting spirit is not so difficult.

Du Yueming's biggest gain during this period of time was not the promotion of his rank, but the laying of a good foundation. However, it is worth mentioning that it took others a few years to lay the foundation, and he laid a solid foundation in just two months. In this way, the training effect of the two can be seen.

The long-term devil training has made Du Yueming reborn, if he is tempered steel at this moment, then over time, it will definitely be a sharp sword after polishing.

Du Yueming was shirtless, wiping her wet hair with a towel in one hand, and in front of her was a full-length glass mirror.

The boy in the mirror, because he has not trimmed his hair for a long time, has a little messy hair, but the muscles of his upper body are solid and well-defined, and he looks quite beautiful in the pale golden sun.

"I haven't taken care of it for a while, and I've finally lived like Fang Delin. Du Yueming looked at the face in the mirror that was covered by hair, and smiled. He touched his unshaven chin, found a razor to clear it, and finally found a strip of cloth to tie up his shoulder-length long hair, like a samurai in ancient times.

At this moment, the face of the mirror is revealed. Maybe after a period of training, Du Yueming's facial contours are much sharper, his face was originally slightly delicate, but you can feel that the contours are gradually sharpening, and the pale cyan stubble after scraping also makes the boy a little more masculine, maybe in a few years he will grow into a real man.

His obsidian eyes were still as deep as they were, and the boy looked beautiful, like the sun and the breeze passing in the hallway.

"It's a good skin, barely a tenth as handsome as when I was on Earth. Du Yueming first opened his mouth to come, then grabbed a shirt and put it on, buttoned it and walked to the attic.

Du Yueming opened the door of the attic and saw the delicate big cake on the table.

In this era, cakes were a luxury, and rare ingredients such as nuts, fruits, spices, and sugar were generally only available to the aristocracy, and baking also required professional pastry chefs.

Reeson taught Du Yueming aristocratic etiquette, he knew that cakes were not eaten casually in this world, and the people of the Western Realm believed that birthdays were the days when the soul was most vulnerable to demon invasion, and on his birthday, relatives and friends would gather to bless and give cakes in order to bring good luck and expel demons.

"Does anyone have a birthday today?" Du Yueming said to Lin Yue's pupils and Lison who were sitting on both sides of the table.

"Don't you know?" Ris asked, a sudden flash of color in his eyes.

"What do you know?" Du Yueming looked dazed.

"It's actually your birthday. If I'm not mistaken, you should be 16 this year. In the Western Realm, 16 years old is the age of adulthood, and boys are about to grow up. Rishen said, his tone slowing unconsciously, a bit like a sigh.

"I really don't know, I only have the name Du Yueming in my memory, and I don't know my birthday. Du Yueming thought for a while and continued to ask, "By the way, how do you know my birthday?"

There was a rare silence, but only for a moment, and he said, "Oh, your parents told me. ”

"My parents, are they in the family?" Du Yueming asked. In fact, a person is still quite lonely in this world, which brings him this noble bloodline cheap father and mother, Du Yueming still wants to know a little. I don't know why they let their children wander, but there must be something wrong with it.

Hearing this, Reehn suddenly showed a look of grief, and after a long time, he spoke, and said softly in a very slow tone: "No, they are dead, they died a long time ago. ”

"I ......" Du Yueming didn't know what to say, and suddenly there was a little loss and a little pain in his heart. Even if you have never met, when you get such news, there will always be some small sour emotions in people's hearts.

"I would like to take the liberty of asking, have you ever resented them in your heart? After all, you have lived alone for so many years. Reeson pondered for a moment, then asked cautiously again.

"It's a little bit, but who wants parents in the world to do this? Du Yueming said.

"Hmm...... The topic is a little heavy. Today should be a day of joy. By the way, in fact, in addition to being your birthday today, it is also Yuetong's birthday, and she is 22 years old this year. Reehn didn't seem to want to dwell on the topic anymore, and a complicated look flashed across his face.

Today's Lin Yue did not wear a military uniform, but instead wore a rococo long skirt, which was a little gorgeous and a little classical.

Her long black hair was tied up with lace today, and her faint smiling face flowed in the sun, and the whole person seemed to have walked out of the ancient and delicate murals, and she sat still with a beauty that people couldn't bear to disturb.

"I didn't expect it to be quite fateful, I noticed that we all have the word month in our names, but I didn't expect that even our birthdays were the same day, so I wish us a happy birthday. And you're beautiful today. Du Yueming said sincerely.

"Thank you. Happy birthday. Lin Yuetong said with a smile, got up and took out a Mithril short knife from the space ring and cut the cake, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood today. It's just that if someone knows to cut a cake with high-level alchemical equipment such as the Mithril Short Knife, then the alchemist who made this short knife will probably spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

The almighty Reeon also turned a bottle of champagne out and poured it into the glasses of the three people.

The golden sunlight wantonly smeared such a picture, and this freeze-frame afternoon made Du Yueming feel unprecedented warmth, which felt like that rainy night.
