Chapter Twenty-Eight: Three Trials

When it comes to the marksman, Kyle isn't worried.

Because he has 'magic trigger' and 'spell sequence', two super-magic specialties that archmages must have (a compulsory item for the archmage assessment, even if the mage reaches the super level, but he can't pass the archmage assessment, he is still not an archmage. Therefore, an archmage must be a super-mage, but a super-level mage is not necessarily an archmage).

'Magic Trigger' allows Kyle to trigger a spell he has set up in advance when he is attacked.

- Generally flashing.

Relying on the 'Spell Sequence', Kyle can achieve multiple triggers (at least triple) on his body, which greatly guarantees his own safety.

Therefore.

Unless there is an absolute difference in strength, it will be difficult to kill Kyle in seconds.

With this little buffer of time, Kyle, who has the 'Rapid Spellcasting' specialty, will be able to cast defensive magic in a targeted manner. Therefore, he is not afraid of sharpshooters of the same level!

But don't be afraid, and there's nothing wrong with being careful.

Just like just now, Reut was successfully calculated by Kyle, who was a hundred times weaker than him, and at the moment when the high-level Sword Master was paralyzed by the electric claw, Kyle's sword could really hit him hard (with 'Nirvana Rebirth', he will definitely not die)!

That's enough to give Kyle a wake-up call.

'Now that I'm good, .........'

The mage asked, "With my current ability, am I qualified to go out on an adventure?" Uncle Reut. ”

Since coming into this world, Kyle has never been far from Sharpsburg for more than fifty kilometers for safety. But this is because Kyle had no self-preservation before, so he had to do so.

And now......

Throughout the day, he listened to Ernest tell about his travels, and read the various legends and anecdotes in the books.

Kyle couldn't hold back.

In his previous life, he was not qualified to see the world, which had already made Li Yunhang regret it very much.

Now that he has the opportunity to start over, Li Yunhang, that is, Kyle, will definitely travel through the entire world of Tygulas in his life. If you have the ability, you have to go all over the Taiyang system.

'The world is so big, I'm definitely going to see it!' ’

This is Kyle's greatest life ideal in addition to eternal life and freedom.

When Reut heard this, he frowned and said, "Didn't I already agree to your participation in the mission of the Guard Knights?" It was three days ago when you got a demon wolf back. Wouldn't that be nice? As a former mercenary, I can tell you unequivocally that the outside world is not so beautiful, and few of those epics and legends are true. ”

Reut thinks Kyle has been tricked by these things.

"I know."

Kyle nodded. Although he usually pretends to be a child, as a time-traveler and comes from the era of information explosion, he certainly knows that Reutt is telling the truth.

But...... Kyle wanted to go on adventures and travel, never for money, glory, or a sense of justice. He is also not as enthusiastic about legends and heroic epics as ordinary Tyguras teenagersβ€”β€”β€”β€” he has no sense of substitution at all.

Kyle and Ernest had the same thoughtsβ€”β€”β€”β€” he said, "I just want to see the world!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦ What about your studies in magic? ”

That's what LOYTEC really fears.

Although he regrets that Kyle did not inherit his way of swordsmanship, even Reutt believes that Kyle will focus on the path of a mage in the future. Otherwise, he wouldn't have reprimanded Kyle so solemnly just now.

Reut has no objection to Kyle going on adventures and travels, but hopes that Kyle can complete Ernest's magical studies here first.

"I can go to the 'Falling Star Council' or the 'Tower of Stars', the two magical kingdoms of human beings first, I heard that these two places are developing at a rapid pace, as a mage, I think if I don't go, I will definitely not be able to keep up with the development of the times, and I will definitely regret it in the future."

After listening to Kyle's words, Reut agreed.

"That's okay, Ernest's school has people in both places, you are Ernest's apprentice, naturally belong to their school, and there is no problem in continuing your studies there. Moreover......... The Platinum Empire is indeed not for you to stay for a long time, and before your talent can attract attention, it is better to leave as soon as possible, and not be like me. ”

If it weren't for 'Infinity', Kyle probably wouldn't have understood what Reuth meant.

But the reality is that Kyle does.

Therefore, Kyle knew in his heart that β€”β€”β€”β€” Reut had solidified the so-called 'Divine Armor' called 'Bahamut's Divine Armor', and its effect was very powerful, and if it was given to Kyle, the boy would definitely ......

…… Do everything you can to resign!!

Even with Kyle's limited knowledge of magic, he could analyze it.

Although this spell has no negative effect, if Bahamut is willing and has a heartbeat, he can erase this magic from Reut's body. There is no need to worry at all that the person who owns this magic will use it against the Empire.

There is a more crucial point.

β€”β€”β€”β€” this spell can locate Reut and make him invisible to the Platinum King, and can only be put in the light by the Empire, acting as the spokesperson for the Empire's 'fairness and justice' and 'racial harmony'.

Kyle didn't want that.

"So...... Uncle, did you agree? ”

"Yes, I agreed." Thinking of his situation, Reut agreed to Kyle's proposal, but added, "As your guardian, I have one more requestβ€”β€”β€”β€” if you want to go on an adventure, you must first complete the three trials I have assigned you!" ”

"Trials?"

Kyle thought to himself, 'Is this going to test my strength in actual combat?' It should be fine! ’

But it's different from what the mage thought.

"Your strength is actually good, among your peers, you can be called second to none, even a silver breed like Evans is far inferior to you."

Reuth was telling the truth, Kyle's talent was basically full, and no mortal could surpass him. And those silver species that rely on bloodlines can't reach the super-level attribute when they are minors, and they can't be Kyle's opponents. And the race whose life is above gold and gold grows too slowly, and it will not be possible for hundreds or even thousands of years to reach adulthood.

At this age, Kyle's strength is indeed the strongest now. But then, Reutt asks a very precise question that goes straight to Kyle's biggest problem right now.

"Kyle, have you ever killed someone? Or rather...... Have you ever killed a sapient being? ”

Kyle was silent: "......... No. ”

He understood what Reuter was talking about as a trial.

If it is in the city, the safety of life can naturally be guaranteed, and the ruler will at least have the most basic order in order to maintain his rule. But in the wilderness far from the city, death and killing never stop.

Homicide... Or be killed!

And in order to survive, you have to choose the former.

Reutt acknowledges Kyle's prowess, but still has to test him...... So that he can kill without hesitation and with a decisive heart!

"The day after tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, I want you to kill fifty gnolls in the arena in the city, you can divide them into three batches at most, and each batch must have at least fifteen, can you do it?"

"No problem at all!"

'Whew......! It's good not to be human. Kyle thought.

But......

"Uncle Reut, there will definitely be an audience in the arena fighting, so won't it expose my strength?"

Hearing this, Reutt said calmly:

"Three days ago, you didn't kill the gnolls (Wang Kai), which makes me very skeptical of your determination. So I think it's a good thing to have an audience pressure on you. Moreover...... It's just a gnoll, how much strength can you exalt? ”

"Uncle, Fenrir has a good relationship with that gnolloin, and killing him rashly will affect the progress of his relationship with me."

That's just one reason. In fact, the more important thing is that β€”β€”β€”β€” Wang Kai's soul is a human being, and he has not provoked himself, and he has no conflict of interest with himself, so Kyle can't bear to kill him.

Kyle, the other gnolls, will not show mercy.

"It's useless to talk too much, the key is to look at action. You'll have to pass my test before you can prove your word. ”

"Hmm......" Reut looked at the skyβ€”the silver moon had fully risen. It's late, so let's do it today, we should go back. ”

"Good!"

"That's right!" Reuter seemed to suddenly remember something. "Do you like it? It's the maid I gave you, the little girl named Nasha. ”

Kyle: "........."

"I almost forgot if you didn't say it!"

………………

The two separated when they returned to the castle.

However, Kyle didn't go through the door in order to play up the Reutec styleβ€”β€”β€”β€” he wanted to see what his new maid was doing in the room while he wasn't there. Once you've found your room on the roof of the castle.

Kyle fell lightly.

Today's weather was very windless, so with the help of the Feather Fall technique, Kyle fell lightly.

If he was dressed in white now.

- Very likely to be treated as a ghost.

Due to the light and slow nature, Kyle did not make a sound when he landed on the window edge (wind thaumaturgy prevents the air from vibrating), so naturally he did not alarm Nasha in the room.

At this time, she was completely different from the girl with a shy expression when they first met.

The girl sat in front of Kyle's desk, her upper body leaning against the back of the chair, her long legs were crossed on the desk, and she was holding a dragon doll in her arms, but compared to the fierce image of the dragon itself, this doll was much cuter, in the words of the earth, it was the Q version of the dragon, with small wings, and the whole body was still pink, and the whole body was furry.

Kyle doesn't remember having such a pillow in his room, presumably she brought it.

Before, there wasn't even a single pink thread in his room.

Nasha has a lamppost on her left hand side, emitting a soft, bright white light. This is the Thai lamp, and the black blazing crystal inside the wick is the light source. It can absorb Thai sunlight during the day, and if treated with special magic, it can export the light into crystals at night.

It is very suitable for lighting.

However, it was the light of the lamp that prevented her from seeing Kyle on the windowsill.

At this time, she was concentrating on reading.

Kyle saw the book cover and knew that it was an introductory magic book on his desk, as if it was called "The Apprentice's Path". It's similar to "Fundamentals of Meditation" that Ernest asked Evans to see. However, the introduction to meditation is not so detailed, but there are a few more tricks and common ways to use them.
