After completing the final training of the evening, Neo did not immediately return to clear his body, but went to the castle walls, leaning against the battlements, watching the sunset and the beautiful burning clouds.

Nothing has changed for Neo today.

Wake up in the morning, morning exercise, breakfast, training, rest, training...... Until the final evening training camp, it was no different from the usual days.

Say it again! No, yes, district, don't!

The waiting people from St. Phalos did not show up, and the other people in the castle looked at Neo with a mocking look in their eyes, and from morning to evening, Neo was always laughed at loudly and publicly.

Every peer of the family who met Neo would ask Neo contemptuously, "Neo, what about the people from the Academy of Magic?" Didn't they come to pick you up? Oh! By the way, there is no zài in this academy. ”

If Neo doesn't talk to them with a black face, the other party will become more and more presumptuous. This made Neo's heart very irritable, so much so that during training, Neo's knight mentor was disappointed to stop feeding him, and only let him do basic warrior training.

"A knight's distraction during battle is the key to death, but you are still young and have enough time to change, so when you can concentrate and not be disturbed by the outside world, when we will fight again!"

The mentor's words made Neo feel ashamed, and he trained harder for the rest of the day, but the thought of the Academy of Magic did linger even more.

As time passed, the feeling of disappointment also intensified. Now, Neo began to wonder if the letter was a prank by that bastard of Friel.

"What? Hide here and don't go to dinner? A rough voice came, and Neo looked back to see that it was his knight mentor, Ziano.

Ziano is a veteran of the army of the Kingdom of Pias, a true knight who has experienced a hundred battles, and after retiring, he was invited by Uncle Neo, who was still in the army at the time, to become the chief knight of the Fiposian family, and his spear kung fu on a horse is one of the best in the entire Silver Deer.

Ziano had not yet removed his armor and was holding a water bladder in his hand. As soon as Neo turned around, Ziano threw the water bladder over.

"Thank you, Mentor Ziano!" Neo thanked him and opened the stopper, raised his head and took a sip, only to have a fishy sensation that rushed to his throat and choked Neo's cough.

"Hahahaha!" Ziano laughed out loud and sat down beside Neo.

"Ahem...... This is...... Ahem...... Alcohol? Neo slowed his breath and said to Ziano, "Why?" ”

"Drink!" Ziano smiled.

"Huh? What the? ”

"Drink! This is the guru's order! ”

Seeing Ziano's undoubted look, Neo still did not disobey Ziano's intentions, and took a few sips of wine into his mouth, although he was not used to drinking for the first time, but after drinking, Neo felt hot and comfortable.

"Wine is a good thing!" Ziano snatched the water bladder from Neo's hand and gulped it a few times, "It's a man's best friend, how about it?" Do you feel much more comfortable after drinking? ”

Neo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then lowered his head and said ashamedly: "Mentor, am I disappointing you?" Because of an unknown piece of news, you can't help yourself to dream of becoming a magician? I want you to comfort me. ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Isn't it?" Neo looked at Ziano, "What does the mentor think?" ”

"Of course I'm disappointed in you!" Ziano patted Neo, who had lowered his head in shame again, and asked him to raise his head to look at him again, "What I'm disappointed in you is not your opinion of the academy that doesn't have zài!" ”

"What's so bad about wanting to be a magician? How can people survive if they don't have a little pursuit? Ziano took another sip of wine, and the momentum of the liquor made his face flush slightly, "When I was in the army, I still wanted to become the general of the Kingdom of Bias!" ”

"That ......"

"Let me tell you something that happened when I was still in the army!" Ziano leaned against the wall and fell into memory, "At that time, I was only the captain of a cavalry squad, leading thirty knights, active on the battlefield......"

"Although there are few people with him, he is really a good man! In the army, our knight squad is one of the best! Even when the regimental commander inspected the army, he praised us! ”

"Once! Our brigade is surrounded by a lonely mountain, and every day it is bombarded with magic by the legions of bastard magicians in the kingdom of Vansace! Brothers suffer heavy casualties! So, the captain sent several of our knight squads to break through and ask for help! ”

"We broke out and went to the place where the captain said, and found that there was not a single hair in the third legion, not to mention the people of the Third Legion! Then he ran a long way away, only to learn that the Third Army had already started a melee with one of the enemy's legions, and it was impossible to divide forces to rescue. Even if they wanted to, the enemy's legions would not let them go. ”

"We were all blinded! The captain asked us to find reinforcements, but there were no reinforcements to find, the other legions were 108,000 miles away, and with the enemy having magicians, we couldn't hold out for two days! ”

"And then? What happened? "Neo was drawn to Ziano's story.

"What happens next? The brothers asked me this question too! Ziano smiled, pride on his face, "I said to them, 'Die, and die with my brothers!'" Let's go back! ’……”

"What a good thing the brethren are! If you don't have anything to say, follow me and go back! Don't say it! We're really going back! ”

"How?"

"When we went back, the enemy had already launched a general attack, and the members of our brigade were desperately attacking outward, which gave us a chance! So a small group of our men and horses took advantage of the enemy's attention to their comrades on the mountain, and slaughtered from behind, breaking through their infantry phalanx to protect the mage's regiment, and killing all their mages! ”

"Hah! Don't look at me like this! I've got more than ten mage lives on my hands! Ziano said proudly.

"And then?"

"Later?" Ziano's expression darkened, "Later, we killed all the magicians on the opposite side, and broke into the enemy's encirclement, and the enemy was unable to attack the mountain because of the lack of support from the magicians, and the battle situation in other places was not in their favor after a long time, so they retreated. ”

Neo looked at his mentor in surprise, after becoming Neo's mentor, Ziano has always only taught Neo seriously, and never said anything about him, so Neo's impression of Ziano only stayed on "This is a very strong knight", I didn't expect Ziano to have such a legendary experience.

"Hey! After this battle, the brothers of a small team, dead and disabled, and the remaining five, there are still five who are good, and they still lie on the hospital bed for half a month before returning to the team. Ziano wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stared at Neo, and said with a stern expression, "Do you know why I want to sue you for these things?" ”

Neo thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I'm disappointed in you! It's not that you want to be a magician, it's your depressed attitude right now! Ziano pulled out the sword from Neo's waist at a speed that Neo couldn't react to, pointed at the sword and said, "Without reinforcements, have you forgotten that you are also a warrior?" Without a wand, do you forget that you still have a sword? ”

Neo was shocked.

After a long time, Ziano handed over the sword in his hand, and then asked, "You, do you understand?" ”

"Got it!" Neo nodded and took the iron sword, "Thank you, Mentor!" ”

"Drink!"

Neo took the bladder and took a sip of wine, the spicy liquor choking Neo again.

"Hahaha!" Ziano laughed loudly, "After drinking, today you have grown up a little more!" ”
