Chapter 7 - Gossip

Nearly a week after the Boar incident, a series of events about De Mory found Ao Rui's head. Although he himself said that there was no problem, he has obviously had more and more things to deal with in his work recently. However, on the third day after meeting the Crowe siblings, Ao Rui said that he could put aside what he was doing for a while and take me to the magic academy in the capital first.

The next day, I put on my more modest clothes and prepared to go to the capital with Ao Rui, although the outfit looked a little more luxurious. Ao Rui was still wearing armor, looking more like a lord, and he didn't hide his domineering spirit in the slightest, although I knew that he wasn't. Hota waited at the gate as before. After we met, we began to move towards the capital.

"The capital is about half a day's journey from here, and hopefully there won't be any special circumstances along the way"

"I went to investigate the people in that woods last time, and they were all mercenaries, oh Ao Rui"

"Mercenaries...... The people in the mercenary club are really not taboo, and they will even take on the task of assassinating dignitaries."

"Presumably it's a lot of money," Hoya chuckled.

"Don't joke about it, after all, I'm ranked last in the Apocalypse, maybe I'm still the lowest," Ao Rui replied with a wry smile.

The two of them chatted inextricably, and it was not easy to disturb them when they talked about such things that seemed to be understood by adults.

"Anyway, if you're interested in magic, do you want me to teach you now?"

Suiya suddenly became interested and asked me, of course I was very happy to hear this, but Ao Rui looked at her with some embarrassment.

"Magic isn't that easy to ......"

"Come, first you imagine focusing your mind on your head, and then there will be a strange sensation that spreads from the top of your head down to your whole body, and then try to radiate this feeling."

"Okay!"

Listening to Hotaya, I began to calm down and do as she said.

"Well, I was stuck here at the time, I couldn't feel it anyway" Ao Rui turned his head and said a little aggrieved.

"Hahaha, this step is indeed a bit difficult for newcomers. According to my mentor at the time, it usually takes about two days to do this step. But I tried it myself, and I ...... that night."

Hota suddenly paused when he turned his head to look at me, and his expression gradually changed to surprise. From me, there were signs of a blue-blue spell, blown away by the galloping wind.

"Hmm...... I said, is this kid a sign of completing the spell as soon as the words fall," Ao Rui said slowly and trembling slightly at Suiye.

"I ...... I'm not ...... I dare to believe that I came into contact with magic so quickly" Suiya also looked at Ao Rui in disbelief.

"I did what Sister Sui said?"

Looking at the blue silk coming out of his body and being blown away by the wind, he didn't understand why they reacted like this, so he said this to them. But Suiya was surprised and surprised, and then his eyes lit up.

"Yo Ho, it seems that there is a little genius here, Ao Rui, what do you think" Sui Ye looked excited, the kind that couldn't be stopped at all.

"I don't want to see it...... I can't touch magic here," Ao Rui stared to the side blankly, completely lost.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Saki's spell is filamentous, so it has an innate advantage over the guiding spells. If you want to learn magic silk, it's basically easy."

"I envy you magicians who can use all kinds of spells," Ao Rui said with a slight grievance.

"The martial arts and magic we practice martial arts are essentially opposite, and martial arts need to spread the mind to the body and adjust the ability to use," Ao Rui continued.

"What about the double cultivation," I asked suddenly.

"If you double cultivate, then it's about the same as Suiye," Ao Rui said and looked at her.

"Double cultivation is to be able to skillfully adjust the two, using part of the will to cast spells and part to strengthen the body. Said it looked amazing......"

"But because I don't use all my will in one aspect, I don't have a high enough understanding when I enter high-level magic or high-level martial arts. Therefore, if you want to advance to these two, it will take more effort than ordinary people can reach," Hoya added.

"So you can't double advance with double cultivation?"

"No, but less. The more famous ones are 'Huang'," Ao Rui said

"The legendary Carry Twin Cultivators. A slashing sword master with 'Tide Water Element' and a high-rank martial art"

"Wow, that's true. So what kind of person is he? Hero? "It was very interesting to hear about such people.

"No...... He's a bad guy, a murderer who used to belong to the Arno Empire," Suiya said with a little heaviness.

"But now he is in seclusion and no longer fights any wars, after all, he is now nearly ninety years old."

It was a little surprising to hear that the Third World War 18 years ago had people in their seventies who went to war.

"It took him nearly sixty years to bring both sides into place, and it is said that he was a genius before, but you can imagine how long it takes for ordinary people to reach this point," Ao Rui said with emotion.

In the midst of this small talk, I suddenly felt a little sleepy. But now it's just a short time of departure, and I can't figure out why I'm sleepy. At this time, Suiya saw my tired expression.

"Sakiyu, you're sleepy, it doesn't seem to be very energetic. Using continuous magic is mostly mentally draining, so it's easy to run out of energy if you keep casting magic. Relax a little. ”

Hearing this, I realized that I hadn't stopped my magic since just now. At this point, I hurriedly distracted from my thoughts, and the magic on my body disappeared.

After that, as the sun went to the top, we all needed to rest.

We found a big tree and prepared lunch in the shade. This time, the dry food was made by Ao Rui's servants, and it looked cute and delicious. While Ao Rui and Suiya were chatting, I suddenly asked a question curiously.

"Uncle Rui and Sister Sui, how are you cooking?"

The two of them turned to look at me with a curious face, and they didn't seem to be very willing to answer.

"Hmm...... In the past, during wars, special military rations would be delivered. But when it comes to cooking......"

"It's boring," Hota looked at him with a slight sneer.

"That's called the original taste!" Ao Rui hurriedly argued.

"When I was at home before, I suddenly wanted to try cooking by myself"

"I happened to be there at the time, and I don't know which of his tendons he pulled. When I was in the kitchen, I thought it would be a little interesting to see him dancing with his teeth and claws. It turned out to be just a clear soup, and it didn't taste like anything yet."

"I just forgot to put the spices!" Ao Rui was blushing by Suiye's words.

"What about Sister Sui?"

"Me? I'm not going to do it. It's troublesome and a waste of time," Hoya replied rather haughtily.

"Because she can't master the heat," Ao Rui whispered with a smile.

"Huh?!" Spiya suddenly burst out with a fierce aura.

"Ah, I didn't say anything!" Ao Rui saw that Suiye was angry and hurriedly shut up.

"In other words, Sister Sui is Uncle Rui's bodyguard, but why do you feel that Sister Sui is more domineering than Uncle Rui?" Seeing this, I suddenly asked.

"This, Ao Rui and I were childhood sweethearts and comrades-in-arms at the beginning."

"Hota and I grew up together, and we were also when we went to war. She was so much better than me at the time."

After Ao Rui said this, he began to talk about some of the things that happened when they fought together in the past, and I was quite fascinated by what I heard. When he was almost finished, Hoya said.

"To put it simply, I'm more suited to be a bodyguard than a general. And Ao Rui's role on the battlefield is much bigger than mine, and he's a reckless guy himself, I've saved him a few times before. However, in the later stage of the war, Ao Rui is really getting stronger and stronger, and I am stuck in the point where it is difficult to advance as a double cultivator, so I can only protect him."

"Well, it's almost time to end the chat, there is still some distance from the capital, let's hurry up" Ao Rui looked at us and urged.

After we packed up, we got on our horses again and headed to the capital. Because of the reason for consuming his spirit before, he fell asleep leaning back on Ao Rui on the horse. Until we wake up, the capital appears in front of us.

"It's finally here"
