Xiu Zhe was very sad in his heart, he wanted to help his mother get rid of the dilapidated thatched hut but it backfired, looking at the red and weird ghost hands tears gushing out of his eyes, what was so special about him? What has never been done before? There has never been a single case of bad luck, right?

"Xiao Zhezi, you don't have to be too disappointed, people of your grandfather's age take magic very seriously, the current world is full of flowers, you can also practice fighting and mind qi without magic induction, Hutton Marr also has a priest who cultivates divine thoughts, I see that you have been able to wield a heavy sword higher than you since you were a child, maybe you can also practice swordsmanship."

Xue Song patted Xiu Zhe on the shoulder and comforted him, he was afraid that Xiu Zhe, who was still young, would give up on himself because he had no magic sense.

Xiu Zhe wiped his tears and nodded, what Grandpa Xue said was right, if you don't have magic sensitivity, then you will practice swordsmanship hard, but without a formal cultivation method, I'm afraid it will be difficult to just explore a little bit by yourself...

He didn't think about letting his mother smash the pot and sell iron to send him to the Imperial Sword Academy, he didn't want his mother to work for himself anymore.

The two rode back to the dilapidated thatched hut in the carriage, and when Xiu Xiangxue learned from Xue Song that Xiu Zhe did not have any magical induction, she was not too disappointed, and she still hoped that her child would not be so dazzling, and that it would be good to live a plain life.

"Xiaoxue, this is half my life savings." Xue Song put a silver card on the table and said solemnly.

Xiu Xiangxue and Xiu Zhe were both shocked, "Uncle Xue, what are you doing here?" Zhe'er and I still have some savings in the past few years, so we won't even be able to eat. ”

"Grandpa Xue, you..."

Xue Song raised his hand and pushed back the silver card that Xiu Xiangxue had pushed over, and said slowly: "Xiao Xue, back then, because of Xiao Zhezi's ghost hand, you held him in his infancy and was kicked out of the village by the villagers, and I, the head of the village, acquiesced to their actions for my own personal safety, I owe you too much, although Xiao Zhezi has no sensitivity to magic, he may not be a waste, this money is enough for him to go to the Imperial Sword Academy to study." ”

Xiu Xiangxue's nose is a little sour, in the past ten years, she has paid too much for Xiu Zhe alone, she does the dirty work that others like, and she does the work that others don't do because the salary is too low. How old is she? I was just in my early thirties, but my body was already full of diseases, and my knees hurt when it rained, and I often couldn't sleep because of the pain in my back.

No matter how hard life is, she has survived, Xiu Xiangxue has never felt that the world is cruel to her, Xiu Zhe is the best gift from God to her.

"We can't ask you for this money, I still have some savings in the past ten years, and it's still enough for Zhe'er to go to an academy." Xiu Xiangxue shook her head slightly, and once again rejected Xue Song's kindness, Xue Song had helped them enough over the years, so how could she be embarrassed to take this money?

Xue Song sighed and said, "Xiaoxue, the tuition fee of the Imperial Sword Academy is three gold coins for one year, and fifteen gold coins after five years of study, how many do you have?" ”

"Mother, Grandpa Xue, don't push around, I won't go." Xiu Zhe said categorically, with a perseverance on his immature little face that did not belong to children of this age.

The atmosphere in the room quieted down, Xue Song brushed his silver beard and was about to say something, when he heard the wooden door behind him being pushed open, accompanied by a creaking sound, Linas walked in and said with a smile: "Boy, are you really not going?" I have a free work-study place here. ”

Xue Song hadn't been too surprised since he had seen Linus who was going to settle here yesterday, but Linnas's words surprised him.

Also surprised were Xiu Zhe and Xiu Xiangxue, Xiu Xiangxue suspected that he had heard it wrong, how could there be such a good thing in the world? Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly asked, "Linus, what you said is true?" ”

Linus leaned against the door frame and said, "It's true, but this quota is not mine, it is the quota under Forrest Gump's left hand, and I have the right to use it." ”

Forrest Gump?! Xiu Zhe and Xue Song both stood up and looked at Linus with shocked expressions, as if they were going to eat him.

Although he rarely left the village, Xiu Zhe often learned about the outside world from Xue Song's mouth, and the one he heard the most was Forrest Gump, the giant sword user of the Four Sword Saints.

"Don't stare at me with that kind of cannibalistic look, I built a weapon for Forrest Gump when I traveled to the mainland, and we are companions." Linus's relaxed appearance seemed to say that it would not be a big deal to be friendly with Forrest Gump, the most famous of the Four Sword Saints.

Xiu Zhe and Xue Song were shocked by Linnas's identity and their heads buzzed and stupidly froze in place, Linnas shook his head helplessly, as if he had guessed the reaction of the two, he hadn't said that the world-famous 'Forrest Gump's Ronin Sword' held by Forrest Gump's left hand was created by him.

Xue Song was the first to react, put away the silver card, and said with a smile: "It seems that there is no need for my old bones, who would have thought that the young man who came to visit me at my house yesterday would be a friend of Lord Forrest Gump?" Xiaoxue, let's talk, I'll leave first, no need to send it. ”

With that, Xue Song slowly left the hut and gradually disappeared from the field of vision of the three of them.

Linus looked at Xiu Xiangxue's somewhat restrained appearance, shook his head, came to the shabby dining table, sat down and said: "Those are all in the past, now I am just a craftsman who drinks bad wine and beats iron every day, Xiu Zhe I admire this kid, if he really wants to learn swordsmanship, then I can take him to the Imperial Sword Academy in Huttonmar tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, Linus glanced at a worn heavy sword placed in the corner of the room and said, "By the way, make him another sword to take advantage of, although the Imperial Sword Academy has all kinds of swords, students studying there will choose to create a weapon of their own." ”

Xiu Xiangxue didn't know how to thank Linus, and the look of gratitude made Linnas smile and said, "I don't ask for much, can I get a month's worth of food for free?" ”

This deal, Xiu Xiangxue really took advantage of it, and hurriedly nodded and agreed, Xiu Zhe also bowed ninety degrees to Linnas, and his eyes were full of gratitude.

Linus just waved his hand at this, he thought that he had a unique vision, Xiu Zhe was not simple, if he just stopped here for some external reasons, it would be too embarrassing.

After the three of them had dinner, Linus told Xiu Zhe a lot of adventure stories about him and Forrest Gump, and it was not until late at night that Linus, who was a little tired, left the hut, and Xiu Zhe obviously lay on the bed with an unfinished look and fantasized about the wonderful world outside.

Early the next morning, Linus and Xiu Zhe rode in a carriage to the Imperial Sword Academy in Huttonmar, the capital of the principality.

The prosperity of Huttonmar is unimaginable as a small villager, the streets are full of pedestrian carriages, pure white buildings are also lined up, Xiuzhe sat in the carriage and saw several adventurers like Linus on the side of the street.

"Brother Lin, I think these adventurers don't seem to be the same as you, they are all dressed luxuriously." Xiu Zhe peeked in the carriage at the proud-looking adventurer on the side of the street.

After a few days of acquaintance, Xiuzhe was forced by Linnas to call him Brother Lin, which looked young and friendly according to Linnas's words.

"What kind of adventurers are they, they are just a group of cowards who have a little strength but don't even dare to go deep into the Gran Forest, and it is because of the reputation of this kind of mercenary stinky fish and shrimp adventurers that they have slowly turned sour." Linus glanced at the man with a gorgeous thin sword hanging from his waist and said with great disdain.

"As far as that broken thin sword is concerned, it is estimated that even the iron armor of the goblin cannot be pierced, with all the bells and whistles." Linus sneered inwardly and withdrew his gaze.

Looking at the street scene on the side of the road, Linus knew that he was about to arrive at the Imperial Sword Academy, and asked, "Boy, do you have any needs for swords?" Do you want a light and swift sword or a powerful giant sword? Or a blunt bladeless weapon like the Northern Swordsman? Don't look for me to do it, I don't do what the girls chirp. ”

As if he was prejudiced against the short sword, Linnas was full of disdain when he talked about the short sword, and it wasn't until later that Xiu Zhe knew that Linus was disgusted with the man named Barn who held the short sword in the Four Sword Saints, and even carrying the short sword made Linus feel a little disgusted.

"Brother Lin, I want to use the knife." Xiu Zhe's request made Linnas's thick and thick eyebrows slightly raised, and many male swordsmen would choose powerful giant swords, which was inseparable from Forrest Gump, and the wild fighting style of opening and closing was deeply loved by boys. The vast majority of female swordsmen will choose short swords or rapiers, and the Tai Knife has always been a relatively unpopular weapon.

"Okay, then I'll make you a handy sword." Linus said with a wave of his hand. He respects Xiuzhe's choice, although he is still young, he definitely has his own considerations, Linus will not interfere casually, he has to eat his own food, and he has to walk his own way.

Looking at the somewhat excited Xiu Zhe Linus, he groaned for a while and continued: "But you don't expect me to create a Taidao with special attributes for you, not to mention the treasure of its materials, this will not help you in your future cultivation, after all, weapons with attributes are too easy to win against weapons without attributes, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Xiu Zhe's little head nodded slightly, and then the carriage leaned on the side of the road and slowly stopped, Linus opened the curtain and glanced at the magnificent door of the academy, opened the carriage door and walked down slowly, Xiuzhe walked into the academy side by side with Linus after paying the groom.

After registering at the doorman's office, Linus led Xiu Zhe to the academy's teaching office.

"Brother Lin, are the guards here so relaxed? Just need to register and come in? Aren't they afraid that people with bad intentions will come to the academy to make trouble? Xiu Zhe asked puzzled.
