Chapter 9: The Power of Mind X The Island of Greed
For two hours, Aristox was eating.
"I think it's a loss for me to accept you as an apprentice." Cassius looked at Aristokes, who was gnawing on the bear's paws, "I'm curious, your size and the food you eat don't make sense at all!" Who knows how much you'll eat when you're older? ”
"Master! Can you get some more to eat? I'm barely full. Aristokes swallowed the last bite of meat.
"Heh, a master, it's really smooth, can you be thicker? I didn't want to come just now. Let's introduce yourself! There is no food for the time being! My name is Casutor and I am a famous bounty criminal, a world-class knife thrower, and a terrifying master of telekinesis! Imp, you don't have a name. I'll name you Lexel, how about it, it's very majestic! In my native dialect, it's a beast from the netherworld! Casutor looked at Aristokes as if waiting for the child's praise and adoration.
"Oh, no, my name is Aristokes, an orphan who crawled out of the grave, a few years old this year, quite young anyway. Hello, master. Aristox heard that there was nothing to eat, so he replied tastelessly.
It stands to reason that Aristokes should be very afraid of Casutol, but in the previous resentment-triggered telekinetic ability: "Mind Sharing", everyone present knew about Casutol's mission in the Kajin Empire and Casutol's telepathic ability.
Although Aristokes doesn't know what kind of person Cassutor is, from the information obtained, Cassutor is a killer with good ability to use mental ability, but he is a person who releases system ability, and generally speaking, the person who releases system ability is short-tempered, straightforward, and can't talk brains. And the biggest reason for Caciutor to obey the V5 alliance of the world's five great powers is to build a railroad for his hometown.
As long as you complete the mission to lurk the Kajin Empire, you can get the help of V5 to build a direct railroad to the big city in the desert remote city in the northern part of the continent of Eulubian.
That's why Aristokes felt that being Casutore's apprentice was not a bad thing, and he didn't even show a look of sincerity and fear, and he was a little bit inched.
"Kula! Look at the master when you speak! Lao Tzu wants to teach you to respect and respect your elders! Casutor punched Ali Stokes in the head.
"It hurts!" Aristokes touched his head, this time it was a real pain!
Casutor looked at Ali Stokes solemnly, "Ali, you eat so much, are you really hungry?" Or is it something else? ”
Aristokes felt that Casutor seemed to be serious, so he had to think for a while, "I was hungry before, so I ate some fruit, mushrooms, and grass, and there was not much, and I was full." But I was really hungry just now, and I couldn't eat enough, and I couldn't hold up after eating. ”
"Condensation!" Casutor looked at Aristokes with his telekinetic abilities, "Sure enough! It's out again, the beast of thought on you. ”
At this time, a shadow behind Aristokus, like mist, spread out of Aristokus's abdomen.
"Do you replenish yourself with the physical strength that your body digests?" With a little analysis, Cassutor knew the purpose of the beast.
"What's the matter, master?"
"It's okay, it's just that the parasitic beast on your body is using the food you eat to replenish itself through your digested physical strength, and it has the effect of speeding up your digestion. I think it should be the source that sustains your life from the time you were born. It's just that it feels so weird to me, and my hairs stand on end. Casutor explained.
"Huh? Nian Beast? Aristox pretended not to know what Nian was, otherwise many things would be difficult to explain, because Aristarchus himself did not know what his memory was.
"Well, let me give you a brief introduction, Nian, an ability that I will teach you later. It is a form of life energy, the human body exudes its own life energy all the time, just like invisible qi, it is the physical strength you get from digesting food and naturally produces with life activities. Mind is to control this qi with the will, and use it as a force that can attack and defend. There is a way to use the ability to think, that is, to form a separate individual with the mind, and to execute commands. This is the Nian Beast. The Nian Beast on your body is probably your mother's resentment during her lifetime, in order to protect you. ”
"Hmm......" Aristokes had known these concepts for a long time, but he was in a daze as he pondered what expression he had to make to suit the situation.
"For you, of course, this is a bit difficult to understand, don't think about it in a daze, I will teach you later." Casutor looked at Aristokes who was thinking and said comfortingly.
"Huh?! Oh, okay. Aristox reacted immediately.
"Then, master, do you have anything to eat?" Ali touched his stomach and said, "Since the Nian Beast on my body is hungry, I can eat some and help it recover." Mmmmmm, it's definitely not that I want to eat it myself, these things, uh-huh, are actually not very tasty. ”
"Nope!" Casutor felt that he had lost his majesty as a master.
"Let's go, after eating the food, you can walk now, and your Nian Beast won't hurt you, it will only consume your excess physical strength."
"Where are you going?"
Kashutor said angrily: "Report to work, and then go to the next destination, Youkexin City." ”
"Wouldn't it be inconvenient to take me with you for the report? Aren't you a killer? If I join a gangster, will I be sold? Aristox looked at Casutor suspiciously.
"Most likely, if you eat too much and I can't afford to raise it, I'll sell it." Cassiutor finally found a way to threaten Aristokes in order to regain his majesty as a master.
Looking at Ali's pretending innocent eyes, Kashutor couldn't hold back his face, and said, "Let's go, I can't stand you, you think too much, just go to the city to make a phone call to report work!" Where did so many gangsters organize meet-and-greets. ”
Under the leadership of Casutor Cashutor, the two set off again, however, because Aristokes was not fast, they could only rest while walking, looking for food, and by the way, let Aristokes train to train his physical fitness. The two of them walked for ten days before they arrived in the nearest small town, as for not going to the big city, it was because Casseur had to be afraid of being chased and killed, after all, as a bounty criminal, he still had to be careful, if he rubbed with the people of the Hunter Association, although Cassutor was a little frizzy, he was not deliberately looking for trouble, the last time he was very Hunter Guild's intelligence officer fight, mainly to track it, it was completely out of curiosity, and he felt that Udilssius was more suspicious, and it might be related to the task given by V5 this time, if it was done well, The railroad could have been more helped, but it was almost killed, and Casutor had to be more careful.
There was really nothing fun to walk around the town, so Aristokes walked along the streets, eating, and eating whatever food he saw. After eating, I ran away, absolutely no money, and no money, just said, let all the restaurateurs follow, and naturally someone will pay.
Just as Aristokes was about to eat the grilled squid made by the tenth restaurant, he was picked up by Casutor . Then they were taken away, leaving only a large number of restaurateurs who came to collect the bill.
"Master, you didn't give money!"
"Shut up! Lao Tzu has no money, and finally he has to buy a ticket to Youkexin City! ”
"Master? Where to go and what to do? ”
"There's a guy who made a game and said it was for people with mental abilities. There are good things in it that can be sold for a lot of money, and this year is the first time that it is on sale publicly! I don't know if it's really as rumored, and it's on sale in limited quantities, I'm going to steal one! ”
"What's the game?"
"The Island of Greed!"
