Chapter 4: Genius and Mediocre

The waterfall fell, and the deep pool with fewer splashes finally revealed three heads.

Augustus was silent on his pale face, Borlight was palpitating, and Tyrone's eyes were full of bright red, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, which was not at all like his usual cold and frosty style.

Guliga, who had been waiting on a boulder for a long time, did not give the three poor fellows the idea of discussing their feelings, and directly dropped a sentence: "A knight with amazing talent can get three or even five points for one point, and a knight with mediocre talent will probably not get a point for his effort." There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, let alone mediocrity, but the knight who really stands at the top is definitely not a person who starts complaining before he has paid and starts thinking about losing before he gets it! It doesn't matter if he's a genius or a mediocre one. ”

"Today's challenge is only to prove your deedfulness to serve as an introductory lesson for my Knight of Guligain! Next, what a knight needs to do, you need to do, and you need to do double, what a knight doesn't need to do, you need to do, do it twice, because you are my knight boy in Guliglan, because your dream is not just to be an ordinary imperial knight. ”

"That's all for today!"

With that, Guliglan immediately stood up from the boulder and stepped directly on the surface of the deep pool. Instead of sinking, when his foot touched the water, there was a bang, and a black hole was instantly formed under his feet, and the water exploded around Guliglan, but it couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes.

Bang, then Guliglan continued to look at the water, and with each step, the water under his feet would set off earth-shattering waves, and the soles of Guliglan's feet exploded and scattered in all directions. And Guliglan's body was as steady as a mountain, and he walked forward step by step. Finally disappeared from the sight of Augustus, Borlight, and Tyrone.

In the eyes of the three Augustus, Guliglan in front of him is like a demon god who manipulates the power of water, peerless and powerful, peerless and terrifying! They stared blankly at the departing back of Gulliglana.

Looking at the vanished figure of Guligland, Augustus swam silently to the shallow water and collapsed on the riverbank. Looking up at the soft sunlight that was hidden by the trees, he muttered to himself, "I want to make my words more convincing." Then you have to improve your own capital, this is the foundation of living in Noxus and living in the Valoran continent! ”

Augustus was surprised but not surprised by the astonishing power displayed by Gulliglan. Once, he saw a woman on the top of the mountain of Mt. Auder, because of a sudden interest, to do something that seemed innocuous to the eyes of the woman, but to Augustus was shocking.

The woman waved her hand casually, silently recited a few obscure words in her mouth, and in an instant, a large rain of fire fell from the sky. Directly formed a sea of fire on a hill three or four hundred meters away.

At that time, when Augustus was still frightened by this god-like method, the woman whispered something that made Augustus break down: "What a pity, it still failed!" It seems that the mysteries of the wizarding world really need to be continuously accumulated and explored, and it is impossible to pursue the possibility of shortcuts overnight. ”

Lying on the bank of the river, Borlet suddenly exclaimed: "Friends, I have suddenly discovered a terrible thing! ”

Tyrone turned his head and looked at the startled aristocratic young master in front of him. Although the adventure of jumping off the cliff together just now made Tyrone have a little good impression of the noble young master in front of him, Tyrone, who has never had a good impression of the nobles, still has no good impression of the original concept of colored eyes. Giving a look of inquiry is already a rare response.

Augustus, who had never had any concept of dignity and inferiority, did not show any dissatisfaction, and looked at Borlaite with a smile. Be prepared to wait for the rest of the story.

As a commoner, you can be hostile to a nobleman, but you must definitely keep your sanity in front of the noble, even if the nobleman is a stupid idiot.

Bollet was naturally not an idiot, and he didn't mind Tyrone's eyes that were still a little estranged, and said to Augustus with a bitter face: "I suddenly realized that I didn't remember the way out of the forest. ”

Hearing this, Tyrone's stiff face couldn't help but be stunned. The face is pale.

Just now, the three of Augustus, Borlet, and Tyrone were so focused on how Guliglan would test them, and they completely forgot to pay attention to the way, so when the leader Guliglan left the mouth, they fell into this terrible forest cage.

It was brewing for a long time. Tyrone gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable fellow! ”

Augustus patted the dust and sand on his back and buttocks, raised his head and stretched, and said, "It seems that Lord Guliglan's test for us is not over, and walking out of this forest is the last test we will face today!" ”

As everyone knows, when Augustus said this, Guliglan, who had already walked out of the forest, suddenly patted his head and said with a distressed face: "I was only interested in showing my strength just now, and I forgot to take those three little guys out of the forest!" ”

Turning around and taking two steps, Guliglan stopped again and said, "It seems that the gods deliberately instructed me to test them, well, when they will come out of the forest, they will be worthy to be my Guliglan's knight squire." ”

At this moment, the three people who were struggling to find their way heard Guliglan's words.

"Augustus, do you remember the way you came?" Bollet asked with some disbelief when he heard the confidence in Augustus's words.

Tyrone also stared at Augustus in disbelief.

Augustus shook his head decisively and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who is busy thinking about the trials of Lord Guliglan and can still be distracted to remember the complicated mountain paths?" ”

At the same time, the two shook their heads very facelessly and affirmatively.

Augustus didn't mind showing a gentle smile, looked at Borlet and Tyrone who were full of doubts, and said: "Although I don't know the road, I have been a hunter in the mountains and forests for more than ten years, so do you think I should be confident?" ”

Borwette immediately laughed, he walked up to Augustus, patted Augustus on the shoulder and said, "Shepherd, guide your lost shepherd!" ”

Augustus laughed brightly and nodded earnestly, accepting Borlet's friendship.

――――

"Shepherd, guide your lost shepherd!" Usually this phrase is a phrase used by the clergy of the Holy See to guide believers who have lost their faith. The meaning of shepherd refers to the priests appointed by the gods on earth to guide believers. The name Patriarch, second only to the papal seat of the Holy See, derives from this meaning.

This phrase is doubtful both in Noxus and in the rival empire of Noxus, and the clergy of the Holy See use it very frequently. So much so that this phrase circulated in the continent of Valoran.

If anyone says to you a shepherd, guide you to the lost shepherd! Maybe that person is asking you for help, but more often than not, the deeper meaning is that he has extended a hand of friendship to you.

As for Borlet's hand of friendship, whether it was false or not, Augustus accepted it without any consideration. At least at this stage, Borlet is unlikely to deal with him and threaten him.

Tyrone silently followed behind Augustus, and the three teenagers embarked on a long journey of pathfinding.

The forest of Steinbod was too vast and the terrain was too complicated, and Augustus, a hunter who had been wandering around the mountains for more than ten years, searched for a way out of this primeval forest, and searched for a long time, during which many things happened that frightened the three of them.

As they passed through an area, they encountered a black panther with blood-red eyes, two sharp teeth in its mouth, and a body three times larger than an ordinary adult leopard. The well-informed Borwright recognized the panther at first glance as a bloodtooth panther. The bloodtooth panther is a well-deserved creature at the top of the forest food chain, but fortunately they found it in time and bypassed the leopard, otherwise it would be a question whether they could get out of the forest.

When he walked out of the forest, both Augustus, Tyrone, and Borlight were exhausted, because when they walked through the thorns of the forest, their clothes were inevitably torn, and there were many blood marks on their bodies, which looked worse than the beggars begging along the streets in the city.

Looking at the dark forest behind them, the three of them breathed a long sigh of relief, barely carried the last of their strength back to the house where the stones were piled up in Guliglan, popped three times, and fell directly to sleep. (To be continued.) )
