Leon and his father both fell silent, finishing their dinner in silence.

For some reason, maybe it was the majestic image of his father in his memory, or maybe he traveled through to occupy Leon's body and memory, Leon always felt worried in his heart, and this meal was really uncomfortable. Finally seeing his father put down the bowl in his hand, Leon seemed to flee, and couldn't wait to stand up and prepare to clean up the plate.

Instead of speaking, the father did not go back to the backyard to continue building the scepter, but turned and went back to his room.

When Leon finished cleaning up the dishes and returned to the room, he saw his father sitting at the table, as if he was holding something in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the object in his hand, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.

Hearing Leon's footsteps, his father raised his head and said to Leon, "Brad, come here, I have something to say to you." ”

Leon was nervous in his heart, looking at this posture, it seemed to be very formal, and he didn't know what his father would say, but Leon still sat down opposite his father cautiously, "Father, you can say it." ”

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal." Probably the usual Leon has always been like this in front of him, the father has no doubt about his son's performance, and seeing his son's somewhat restrained demeanor, the father hurriedly relieved him. "You're going to the Blood Wasteland tomorrow to train, right?"

"Huh? Father, how do you know? After thinking about it, Leon didn't remember saying these words to his father, Leon was ready to find a suitable time to tell his father his plans, but he didn't expect his father to speak directly, could he see through people's hearts?

"You didn't succeed in changing jobs twice before, this time you succeeded in changing jobs, and you comprehended two skills, according to your character, you must be eager to go to the Blood Wasteland to fight those demons, to quickly improve your strength, and catch up with the time delayed in the past few years. Am I right? ”

"Well, I did plan to do so, I feel that my strength can be trained in the Blood Wasteland, and I originally planned to set off to the Blood Wasteland tomorrow, but I just thought about what to say to you about this." I have to say that knowing his son is better than his father, and the father's psychological grasp of his son is very good.

"Your previous two job transfers were unsuccessful, it's not that you didn't meet the conditions, it's just that there are some special circumstances that you don't understand. However, these two failures have also allowed you to get more exercise, and your basic skills and combat skills are more solid than before, which is of great benefit to your future career development, and Mr. Pope is also very attentive to your teaching, and you have completed the task according to his requirements. These two years of grinding are a good thing. Now that you have gone to the Blood Wasteland to train, I am not worried about your strength at all, but you should be calm and careful in everything, demons without wisdom are not terrible, what is terrible is the human heart. You have always been kind and righteous, and you often believe in others, which is not wrong, but in the process of experiencing adventures, you will face all kinds of people, many of whom pretend to be kind and enthusiastic, but in fact, all you think about is how to make a fortune from you, and you have to guard against such people. ”

When Leon heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "Father, I know, I have to learn how to distinguish between friend and foe, Teacher Pop taught me this. Thinking of his father's words just now, Leon couldn't help but ask: "You just said that I didn't succeed in changing jobs twice before, and there are special circumstances, is there any secret that I don't know?" ”

In Leon's heart, the failure to succeed in two job transfers is a big hurdle, which has turned him from a genius with excellent talent and a bright future into a "waste" that everyone despises and ridicules, although the experience of the past few years has honed himself, but no one wants to bear such setbacks and suffering. Although Leon is not so obsessed with this old thing now, Leon still can't help but want to know the answer when he hears that there is a reason for this failure.

Leon's father waved his hand and continued to say solemnly: "This matter is not clear now, you are not suitable to understand these things now, and one day when you are strong enough, I will naturally tell you." Plus, you hold this thing. The father took out what he was holding and handed it to Leon.

Only then did Leon notice that what his father had been holding in his hand turned out to be a delicate crystal skull necklace. Leon's eyes were immediately attracted by the crystal clear and lifelike crystal skull lock in front of him. He reached out and took the necklace, taking a closer look at the skull in his hand. This is a miniature version of the skull shape, said to be a crystal, but the crystal clear appearance reminds Leon of the appearance of the crystal, this skull is exquisite, the proportions are perfect, even the teeth are clear, this crystal skull looks serene, although the eyes are empty, but when you look at it carefully, you seem to be able to see something, staring at the eyes, for a moment, Leon feels that his brain is in a trance.

Leon shook his head, looked away from the ornament, looked at his father, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

"This is what your mother left you, I don't know what it is, but she once said that if you can successfully change jobs one day, she will give you this thing and let you carry it with you, which will help you in your experience and growth." As if saying something that had been in his heart for a long time, Leon's father sighed as if he had put down a heavy object. "Now, I can give this thing to you."

"Mother gave it to me?" Speaking of his mother, Leon's memory is blurry, as if he has never seen his mother, since he can remember, Leon has not seen his mother's figure, the young and naïve Leon naturally asked his father more than once, where did his mother go, why is she not by my side. My father said every time that she had traveled far, far away. Later, as he grew older and understood more and more things, Leon naturally knew that his father had something difficult to hide, but his father didn't mention it, so he didn't ask again. Now when I hear my father suddenly talk about my mother, I can't help but feel a little excited.

"Well, although I know that you must hate her in your heart, blame her for not taking care of you from an early age, being by your side, and witnessing your growth like other mothers. But she really loves you, and she is forced to leave you. This is what your mother gave me before she left, and I will give it to you when you succeed in your transfer, which is a gift from her to you as a gift of adulthood. As if mentioning some unwanted past, Leon's father had a sad face.

"So, Mother is still alive?" Leon keenly grasped the meaning of his father's words.

"Maybe, maybe she's just gone to another world?"

"Another world, isn't that dead?" According to Leon's understanding, going to another world is not a euphemistic expression of death.

"Talking nonsense, who said your mother is dead. She just went to another world, forget it, I can't understand this thing with you now, in short, when you become strong one day, I will tell you. The father pointed to Leon's head, and stretched out his hand to a violent shudder.

"Don't you tell me, is it that we have provoked some powerful enemy, you want me not to be impulsive, and when I become strong one day, I will find him to take revenge, and then get my mother back."

"Where did you hear this nonsense story, full of cranky thoughts?" Father pointed at Leon's head, another burst.

"That's what the books say." Leon covered his head and said with grinned teeth.

"You must have been a big hero, but you didn't know what happened, provoked the enemy, and then brought me and my mother here incognito, seeing that there was no hope of revenge, you could only wait patiently for me to grow up, and then slash the enemy, isn't that so?"

"Cranky, Arabian Nights, have you read too many knight novels?"

Seeing that his father wanted to reach out again, Leon hurriedly reached out to hold his head. "There are a lot of things in the novel that are true!"

Seeing Leon scurrying around, his father shook his head helplessly, neither denied it nor said anything more, sighed, stood up and went back to the room.

In less than a moment, my father came out of the room. Leon's spirit is all focused on this crystal skull necklace left by his mother, and he is groping for what special purpose this jewelry has.

"Well, take this, this is a shield I built a few years ago, probably too ugly, no one wants it, I will keep it for you to use when you practice, although it is a bit ugly, but the materials and the method of building are not bad, for novices, it is quite suitable." As he spoke, his father handed Leon a shield.

This is a round shield with a pitch-black appearance, about a meter square, and a roaring lion's head can be vaguely seen carved on the shield surface, looking up to the sky and roaring. It's just that it looks a little old, plus it seems to have been on the battlefield for a long time, the shield is full of scratches from weapons, the carvings of the lion are also somewhat damaged, and the appearance of the pitch black makes it really difficult to produce a beautiful feeling.

However, in his hand, Leon only felt that this shield was not light or heavy to use, and after a few shield strikes, it felt extremely comfortable. Looking at this quaint and scarred shield again, Leon felt a little fond, looking at this shield no longer felt ugly, but gave birth to a lot of weather-hardened desolation, and he couldn't put it down for a while.

"You try to focus on this skull, and then lock on your shield, try to transfer the shield in......" Before his father's words could fall, he saw the shield in Leon's hand suddenly disappear.

"Could it be that this crystal skull has the function of space storage?" Leon was a little overjoyed, and as he sank his spirit into his skull, he saw that there was a space about two cubic meters inside, and a shield was stored alone in it.
