Section 166: Divergent Paths (1)

Marin was about to leave, but saw his father walk into the training ground.

"Father." Maya greeted her immediately, and the little leopard girl happily told her father about her happy daily life, especially highlighting her recent progress.

As an old father, Gayat reached out and patted Maya's head, then turned to look at Marin, "I'm going out again, kid." ”

"Where are you going?" Marin walked over.

To be honest, he didn't want this half-old guy to go far away, he was already fifty years old, and in this age of sixty years per man, in Marin's opinion, he was old enough.

As a son, Marin didn't know Gayat's sequence, let alone what his stairs were, but seeing that he was so old, he shouldn't be in a high position anyway.

"Eastern Kingdom, Marin, my son, I am entrusting Maya to you again." Gayat reached out, and he tried to stroke Marin's head, but Marin brushed it away.

"Two weeks ago you said that you are fifty years old, in this era, as a pure-blooded human being, you have reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, you can't live a good life at home for a few days, don't go out, don't let Maya worry about you all day long, she is your daughter, don't be an old man who makes her daughter worry all day long, okay."

Gayat paused for a moment, then laughed.

Marin frowned: "Gaiat, what are you laughing at." ”

"Let's fight, my son." After the demon hunter finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and threw the sword into his hand, and when the old man with gray beard and hair carried the sword behind him, the momentum belonging to the high rank spread unreservedly: "Sometimes, the truth will also make you fall into the wrong place of thinking, my son, you are caring about me, so I don't blame you, but as a father, you must let your son confirm whether he is standing in front of him an old man who is about to die, or an old dog with a mouth full of fangs." ”

Seeing that the old man walked to the training ground first, and when he was about to follow, Marin specially asked Mrs. Carmo: "Madam, is it really Tuesday today?" ”

"Of course, my little cutie, speaking of which, the linen shirt you wore today really suits you, who will help you pick out the clothes." Mrs. Carmo's plausible answers and questions caught Marin a little off guard, and after glancing at the crowd and sea of people on the side of the training ground, Marin smiled a little shyly: "It's Maya." ”

"I knew that you brothers and sisters were really good." Mrs. Carmo smiled and nodded, and then handed the training sword in her hand to Marin: "Come, my little cutie, the boy will surpass his father one day, I think today is a good day for you." ”

Marin shook his head with a smile, and the two branches of the World Tree turned into two single-edged swords in the palm of his hand, and then combined into a one-and-a-half sword in front of Marin.

As a son, Marin never thought that he could surpass his father, maybe one day, he could achieve a greater reputation than Gaiat, or have strength stronger than him, but this is not that he surpassed his father. It's just that the son will grow up, and the father will grow old.

Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong will always be a false proposition.

………………

"I remember that more than thirty years ago, Gayat was standing on that side, and we were standing here, watching him and the first test with Brother Semya."

Old Hoffman, who was standing on the sidelines, sighed, he looked at the scene in front of him, reminiscing, remembering, and sighing.

His old friends sat beside him, some in remembrance, some in sighing, some in contemplation.

"Time flies." Marrian said this.

"What about Charles." Old Hoffman glanced at him.

"There is something in the north that needs him." When Ma Ruian said this, he patted his knee: "My knee is not suitable for the weather in the north. ”

"We are all old, even the children of Brother Semiya are white-headed." The old lady sitting next to Marian sighed.

This made old Hoffman a little embarrassed, a little nostalgic, and more expected.

Standing in front of Gaiat was his proudest apprentice, the youngest of the children he had taught as an old man, the last in line, but also the most gifted.

………………

Gayat was in a trance, the demon hunter who had randomly pulled out a steel sword from the training sword stand was in a trance, and this scene today seemed to have happened many years ago.

At that time, he was just a child, holding a training sword, just standing in the position he was facing.

In the past thirty years, the boy has become a man, and he has begun to take steps in the direction of becoming an old man.

Faster and faster, more and more stable, more and more urgent.

Just like his father told himself back then.

As the kid said, if he could, he wouldn't want to die at Fort Carter, but what...... As the sole inheritor of the sequence of truth, the truth of the ladder is his rank, and he has been pursuing the truth of why his lover died for decades.

If he gives up, the sequence of truth will be corrupted, and the way of the ladder will collapse.

"Father, have you started?" The child's question in front of him woke Gaiat from the big feather bed called Memories, and he blinked and nodded, "Come on, kid." ”

So the long sword stabbed at him, unpretentious, but extremely fast, knowing that his adopted son was known for his strength, Gayat held the sword in one hand and swung the long sword that stabbed at him with all his strength, and almost let the long sword out of his hand as soon as he made contact.

What a strange force!

In the next second, he turned sideways and gave way to the straight stab, and Gayat, who took two steps back, held the sword in both hands, and this time, blocked the twig that turned the thorn into a horizontal cut.

Subconsciously wanted to retreat the long sword, but the next second the elbow blow from the adopted son made Gaiat have to use the counterweight of the training sword to block the blow.

Before Gayat could think about whether this would hurt the child, the elbow struck the counterweight into pieces, along with the small half of the hilt.

The clash of gold and iron forced Gayat to slide out of the way of the elbow that was striking his abdomen, which his son had equipped with a metal elbow pad.

No longer dismissive, discarding the broken training sword, Gayat pulled out his meteorite, a longsword forged from extraterrestrial meteorite from the scabbard behind him, and leveled the head of the sword with the military sword of Sidney's union.

"Father, please be careful." His adopted son smiled, then rushed over.

Gayat first swung the stabbing sword, he wanted to pursue, but his adopted son slid to his left side, and then with a deft turn, he gave way to his own kick, and with the force of rotation, the sword composed of young branches was raised at this moment, and slashed directly at his father's waist.

Without thinking, Gayat turned sideways, attacking with his strong side, supporting the head of the sword with his left hand, and using the meteorite in his hand to block the powerful horizontal slash.

The Meteorite's counterweight let out a loud wail, and it morphed under Gaiat's gaze, but it couldn't face the combination of the World Tree twigs and the powerful Shen Shen with demonized steel, and before it could be reduced to pieces, Gaiat gave up on the Meteorite, and then had to take three more steps back - his adopted son, after landing on the ground, slid to his left side again with unusual dexterity, while the longsword stabbed at him again.

Is this the child of the Frost Giant? The children of the elves start training as sword dancers from their mother's womb, and that's not it.

With such an exclamation, Gayat jumped off the training platform.

It's okay not to admit defeat, but then you have to draw another sword - truth, but his adopted son is only fourteen years old after all, and Gayat really doesn't want to let a test become a lifelong regret in his or his child's heart.

If it's your own regret, you may not even have to eat Maya's special fried rice.

This is not going to work, and Gayat is counting on eating his daughter's fried rice again before he dies.

"I'm past the age of competitiveness." Looking at Maya running over, Gaiatte smiled and took the towel from his daughter - the previous block, the debris of the meteorite cut his face, Gaiatt used it to wipe the blood, and then sat down to be treated by the church doctor.

"Father, are you alright?" His adopted son dropped the training sword, jumped off the training ground, and ran in front of him.

"It's okay, I'm not old enough to die of an infected wound if I have a small cut on my face." Gayat smiled and stretched out his hand and patted the kid on the shoulder: "Well done, you are much more profitable than when I was younger." ”

"That's what the instructors taught well." The adopted son said with a smile.

Gayat could see the smiles on the faces of the training instructors and the substitutes on the sidelines.

It seems that his adopted son can be a better person than a father like him.

Little bastard, it's really well done.

Looking at his adopted son, Gaiat became more and more happy - this child can be a man, has strength, and will also pity people, Maya handed it over to you, I am relieved.

………………

"Gayat, how are we old bones taught?"

When Gyaat went up to the tower, Marrian, who was sitting in Hoffman's office, immediately greeted him.

"Very good, thank you uncles and aunts." The people sitting in the office were all Gaiat's elders, and he smiled and nodded: "Old ...... Hoffman. ”

Hoffman, who was already accustomed to being called an old man, narrowed his eyes: "What? ”

"Marlin is able to become so strong thanks to you." Gayat rarely speaks pretty words, and that's because his transcendent sequences are influencing him.

As the owner of the Legendary Sequence: Truth, Gaiat is unable to gain extra lifespan by climbing the ladder, which is a side effect of the Legendary Sequence: Truth to its owner, and another side effect of this side effect is that it causes the owner to age at a normal rate.

"What are you talking about, you don't see how hard that kid works, he gets up at five o'clock every day to start a day's training, compared to him, you were more like a bastard who did everything when he was a child." Old Hoffman laughed and scolded: "Also, are you really going out again, Gaiat, Marin is not wrong, you are old." ”

"I know, Hoffman, I've got a new clue, and I want to go east for news...... I'm running out of time. Gayat bowed his head: "I'm sorry, I'm not a father. ”

“…… Don't say that, you can put Marin to the test of adulthood before you leave, we all know what you want. Marian stood up, and he walked up to Gayat, reached out, and grabbed the nephew's hand.

"Tell me, will you come back."

"Will be back."

Faced with the question, Gayat raised his head, serious and reverent: "If he can't come back, Marin is the next master of the Gayat family, if he is willing, he will be the next ...... of truth" Speaking of this, the old man smiled and shook his head: "I believe he won't be willing, as a descendant of a people of silver, whether he is promoted to the ladder or the level, he can get too many benefits, and becoming the truth, I can't imagine." ”

"Don't act like Tuogu, you kid." Marian shook his head: "According to the average person, you have at least ten years to live, boy." ”

"Yes, we are all waiting for you to come back, and you see that your Marin has been so big recently, you guy, don't let this kid leave such a big estate and bring Maya to the Eastern Kingdom to find you." Ollie said as she looked at Gayat in front of her.

“…… I'll come back alive. Gaiatt ended the conversation with the words: "I'm leaving, guys, goodbye." ”

Seeing his juniors leave, Hoffman Sr. leaned back in his chair.

The old friends also got up to leave, and before leaving, Ollie kissed the old guy lightly on the forehead: "Hoffman, I still remember how handsome you were when you were young." ”

Old Hoffman smiled, waited until she was gone, and waited until a long time later, when a sigh rang out in the room.
