47. Preparation
However, as he became more aware of the new mother-child relationship, he became more experienced in how to deal with the mother-child relationship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info He's not going to say thank you to Lady Cynthia. Not only would that not satisfy Madame, but would make her more likely to be angry. Do mothers feel happy when they are polite to their children?
Of course not, if the mother and the child get along like the host and the guest, I am afraid that this relationship can only occur between the non-biological mother and child, which is really sad.
There are not many things in the afternoon, Xiusi has already arranged to send his luggage to the dormitory, and it is best to communicate with the students in the dormitory next to him again, and learn about the various news of the swordsman department.
When they came to Nalco's room in the front floor again, Nalco was not there, and Ram moved everything in the center of the room to the side, and he was naked, where he was practicing a basic sword technique of tempering the flesh. Because there was not enough space to hold the long sword, he practiced empty-handed, and his back was covered with sweat.
Seeing Xius coming in, Ram hurriedly put away his movements and greeted him, "Are you going to leave now, young master?"
"Let's go wash off the stinky sweat on your body first, why did I take you into the dormitory with you this smell?" said Hughes with a smile. These days, he gets along very well with the guards who are four or five years older than him, Ram, and others, and his own thoughts, words and deeds are influenced by them, and he is more mature. The shadow of casualness can be seen in the elegance.
Ram smiled and opened the windows of the room to allow ventilation before entering the bathroom with a change of clothes. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two of them had plenty of time to get all their luggage to the academy.
"Alright. After a while, Ram walked out of the bathroom with a fresh smell, and after drying his hair, he put on his best swordsman suit, looked in the mirror for a while, and told the young master with a smile that he could go.
Hughes glared at him, "You've learned to stink now?"
Ram smiled and said, "As your guard, I cleaned up a little more handsomely, didn't I also add glory to your face?"
"Cut," Theseus pursed his lips disdainfully, "if you admit that you want to make a good impression on the beauties of the academy, I can barely accept it." Now this reason sucks. ”
Ram followed Hughes to his room in the back building. Along the way, Ram looked very restrained, cautious, and even squeezed out a smile when he saw the maid here. In the eyes of Xius, this action made him very puzzled. As soon as he entered the room, Hughes scolded with a smile: "You are 18 years old, you can't be a virgin, right? ”
Ram's expression was embarrassed, and he stumbled to explain, "I didn't mean that. It's just, it's just...... It's just that this is Madame's place, and I don't dare to be presumptuous here. ”
It was then that Hughes remembered that Lady Cynthia's beauty and noble temperament were extraordinary, which could easily make men feel inferior. And he believed that Ram must have heard the gossip that Madame was the lover of Viscount Gael. Then it seems very normal for him to have such a restrained behavior now.
If Madame is equivalent to the second mother of the Horton family, how dare he be presumptuous on Madame's territory, a family guard who has not even reached the level 5 swordsmanship?
Hughes laughed at the matter. He began to concentrate on choosing the items he most wanted to keep with him among his carry-on luggage.
In fact, when the three of them set off from Shining City, Nalco and Ram each brought only a change of clothes. The rest was all pocket money on the road and Hughes's luggage. Each horse had a large coat hanging from the saddle, and in the pockets on both sides were Hughes's clothes, favorite daily necessities, gifts from friends that could not be discarded, some useful bookcases and his own small collection over the years.
Most of these things are small in size and do not take up space, so despite their large numbers, three horses are enough to pull all the luggage to the royal capital.
But now, Louis had reminded him that he had to change dormitories every time he moved up the grade, and there was no one to help him with the moving work at that time. The more you take now, the more trouble you will have later. Therefore, he can only choose the most useful and commemorative items to take with him, and the rest of the things are placed here, presumably his mother will also give them good protection.
After picking and choosing for a while, the final luggage condensed into two burdens. One of the larger ones was filled with Hughes's clothes, while the other smaller one was filled with various knick-knacks and books. Of course, scattered gold and silver coins are also essential.
Originally, guards like Ram or similar followers were not allowed to enter the Royal Warrior Academy with the students. But because these three days are the enrollment period, in order to prevent some of the noble young masters and freshmen who have lived in an environment where they have been living in an environment where they have been living since they were children, they will not even be able to complete their enrollment, and the senior management of the academy has no choice but to agree with their subordinates to help their young masters pack up their dormitories and pack their luggage. However, the time is limited to these three days, and as soon as the three days are over, the black iron gate due south will be slammed shut, and after that, except for the annual freshman registration period, it will not be as wide as these three days.
"So, what about the graduates and those who have to go out, and the tutors of the academy? This academy can't become an independent city within a city, right?" Ram chatted with Xius about the news of the academy as he helped Hughes pack his luggage. He was very curious about the place.
Hughes had just learned about this question from Louis, but he still didn't quite understand the reason for such a rule.
"Of course, the south gate can still be entered and exited. Once a student successfully circumvents the wall, he is automatically qualified to enter and exit the academy freely. Basically, students above level 12 have this ability. Those rules that can't go out can actually only limit us students who are still very low. For the thirteenth or fourteenth level, or even higher, the thirty-meter-high wall had lost its obstructive effect.
Also, you can go out from the North Gate. In addition to the North Gate, which is only opened during major festivals and ceremonies, there is a smaller gate nearby. The tutors of the academy, as well as the dean, and other big figures, if their homes are not in the academy, they all come in and out from there. It was relatively close to the royal palace. Hughes explained to Ram.
There wasn't much luggage, so the two of them worked together, and it didn't take long to put everything in their proper place. After waiting for a while, seeing that the occupants of room 306 still did not show up, Hughes's patience gradually wore out, and he and Ram went straight back to the hotel.
The evening time was spent alone.
The servants still prepared a fine dinner, but Mrs. Cynthia was not able to accompany her son this time. She received an invitation from a marquise inviting her to a banquet at her home. The identity of the other party was very noble, and Mrs. Cynthia could not refuse the other party's kind invitation, so she had to reluctantly leave Hughes and go to the appointment.
As soon as the lady left, Xius also felt as if he had lost something, and he was so stunned that he didn't even have any taste in his mouth to chew on the delicate meal, and after he barely sat in the dining room alone and filled his stomach for seven or eight minutes, he couldn't stay any longer, and went back to his room with his knife and fork.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Xiusi got up early and sat cross-legged in the room to cultivate his fighting spirit. This is a teaching from the Father.
Although the nascent vindictiveness is extremely weak, it takes a lot of energy and time to run it every time. But the strength is also gradually increased in this way.
In fact, the first ten years of a person's life are always in the process of continuous and rapid growth. Although this period of time was long and precious, it was a pity that it could not be used for pure Dou Qi cultivation at all.
Because the foundation of vindictiveness lies in perfecting a strong body. Before the age of sixteen, the human body is generally not perfect, let alone strong.
Therefore, this precious time cannot be fully utilized even by those who have the opportunity to cultivate the Dou Qi. They can only continue to strengthen their nutrition, accelerate the growth of their bodies, and constantly exercise their physical strength, flexibility, agility, and explosive power, so as to maximize the potential in their bodies and consolidate the foundation of their cultivation little by little.
In this way, from birth to about 12~15 years old, most of the children who are qualified to cultivate Dou Qi begin the process of awakening Dou Qi. Their innate conditions determine that they have the ability to cultivate Dou Qi. Although this innate condition has long been summarized, it is quite rough and vague, and only has general reference value. This result is not at all commensurate with the efforts of the sage. On the contrary, some high-level warriors with rich cultivation experience can feel a result from the darkness with their intuition that they can't touch with their hands. And this result is often mostly accurate.
And once the Dou Qi is cultivated, the Dou Qi fire is formed in the lower abdomen. Then, before the age of twenty, the cultivation of Dou Qi will show a trend of rapid growth. Before reaching the intermediate swordsman, that is, the level 10 swordsman, there are no other bottlenecks at all except for the innate conditions of the individual.
The sages couldn't figure out the mystery either, and could only attribute the reason to the fact that the rapid development of the body during this period also led to the rapid growth of the fighting spirit.
At the age of 18 to 22, this rapid growth encounters an invisible barrier that cannot be seen or touched, but can only be felt with the heart. During this time, no matter how hard you cultivate, or how precious your cultivation methods are, you can't avoid it at all. The cultivation of Dou Qi will show a tendency to move forward almost horizontally. Every cultivator will encounter it, the difference is only the length of time spent in this level period. Just like some people who are inhuman, they may break through to another stage of rapid development in a year. But most people, whether they want to or not, have to stay at this stage for two, three, maybe five years, or even a lifetime.
Of course, in the end, the percentage of such unlucky eggs is very small. However, if you put it on the continent's population base, which is so large that it is counted in hundreds of millions, the overall number of these people can also make people who suddenly know about it stunned.
The emergence of this stage of the horizontal period is also a mystery of the gods that countless sages can't think of a reason for breaking their heads.
Most of the historical materials before the end of the war were destroyed in the war, and people today have no way of knowing whether there was a corresponding explanation back then. In any case, studies of the millennium after the end of the war still cannot accurately and clearly explain the essence of the problem.
And some cultivators who had reached a very high level had discussed some possible explanation. Summing up their own successful experience, they found that this level period seems to be an inevitable process of the slow growth of the power fire in the body.
The principle is that when you are young, you can only exercise your body, but you can't cultivate your fighting spirit. Therefore, the strength that has been exercised for more than ten years has been accumulated somewhere in the body, maybe it is the muscles, maybe the brain, maybe the bone marrow, maybe the blood...... And when this accumulation of power reaches a certain limit, it will touch another latent power in the body. Just as oil meets Mars, the accumulated power quickly merges with this unknown force, undergoing a qualitative change. As a result, the fire of vindictiveness was born!
When the spark is generated, because of the huge difference between quality and quantity, a large amount of cultivated power is condensed by the spark to strengthen itself. As a result, there will be a huge emptiness in the space in the body that originally contained power. Cultivators need to re-cultivate the qualitatively transformed powers and make them fill the emptiness in their bodies again.
This is the reason for the emergence of the horizontal period.
This statement, based on feelings, has been recognized by many high-ranking fighters. But things about the body are always mysterious. It is really difficult to accept for a sage who likes to prescribe a certain type of existence. Therefore, for a long time, this kind of statement was only admitted by high-level cultivators, and it had not become the general knowledge of the mainland.
Next, when the power of the fire was strong enough to break through the level stage, the cultivator's Dou Qi level also entered the intermediate stage, that is, above level 10.
Every step of the process, from beginner to intermediate, requires sweat and time. It is not easy to achieve it after three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Therefore, for a cultivator, perseverance is the most basic quality! As a cultivator who has a family system and has undergone several years of rigorous training, he is quite aware of this truth.
Therefore, after getting up every morning, he is not in a hurry to do anything else, but first uses the physical condition that reaches his peak state at the beginning of the morning to exercise his fighting spirit wholeheartedly. This matter, since Xiusi cultivated his fighting spirit, he has insisted on doing it under his father's teaching, and he has not stopped even in the process of rushing for nearly a month.
Although the total amount of fighting energy has not increased significantly because of the short time, the increasingly strong feeling of liveliness coming from the power is becoming more and more obvious. This, Hughes, can clearly feel.
After tempering his fighting spirit according to the family's secret method, Xiusi began to wash up and then went to breakfast. Lady Cynthia had already sent someone to invite him.
"Mother, do you have any wine here that has been preserved for more than 20 years?" asked Lady Cynthia, who had been with him for breakfast, as he ate.
Today I have already said that I will visit Dean Lucas with Nalco. It is obviously very rude to go empty-handed. On the other hand, if you give a good bottle of wine at the same time as your visit, Dean Lucas will be satisfied.
Lady Cynthia looked at Theseus strangely: "Why do you want this, do you drink it yourself? Children can't drink too much, they already drink a lot when they eat." Well, although that red wine is only ten years old. ”
Hughes couldn't help laughing: "It's not that I want to drink, at noon Nalco and I are going to visit an adult, Dean Lucas of the Royal Family Warrior Academy, do you know? So, I had to ask you to borrow one. ”
