045, Transformation and News (1)
Talos was not surprised to learn that Fabian had been killed by his mother's own hands.
Fabian and Mira, a mother and son, the former has nothing and is abandoned by Mira, and the latter family is in an embarrassment and cannot resist the temptation of money.
Coupled with the serial destruction of twelve missions, the two have long been played badly by the game, and the dark side of human nature is magnified to the extreme, completely driven by desire.
As long as the reward is sufficient, no matter how ridiculous the task is, it is just a trivial game in their eyes.
What's more, in Fabian's eyes, Mira is an incompetent mother who usually ignores him and abandons him at a critical moment, and in Mira's eyes, what she has lost is just an unimportant son, even if she is an heir, she still has two daughters.
- Gender discrimination has always existed, and it is an indisputable fact that the status of female Naga is relatively higher.
So everything went naturally, according to the plan of Talos, no matter who survived in the end, it could not change the ending of "one died at the hands of relatives, and the other watched the family ruin in madness".
This incident did not cause too many ripples in Talos's mind, and he quickly removed everything related to Fabian from his mind, leaving the rest to the Black Sea Knights, as was the case with the Mermaid High Mage Sneak Attack, the Ax Assassination, and the Magic Submarine incident.
As a mage meditating on the shattering of space, Talos had experienced the beauty of the transcendent power that had brought him praise, glory, and power, and then lost it in great misfortune.
Because of this, the strong gap and thirst for supernatural strength led Talos to concentrate on training for the rest of the period.
Crawling and knife training in the morning, water control and double-headed knife usage in the afternoon - it is worth mentioning that the water control training is carried out in secret and is not known to other Naga except for the family - high-intensity training and up to ten hours of exercise drain all the energy of the young Naga and squeeze every potential out of it.
Every day, Talos dragged his exhausted body back to his room, and fell into a deep sleep as he lay out on the bed.
Training, eating, sleeping, for the next half month, Talos repeated these three things mechanically and monotonously.
Sometimes Talos wondered if he would have collapsed due to overload in the first week of his training if he hadn't been able to raise his physical fitness to the sixth order of Black Iron without the support of Soul Fire and [Gluttony].
God knows that just half a month ago, he was a thin former mage with "no power to restrain chickens", and now he has to repeat the chopping action thousands of times a day.
In a way, Soul Fire did turn his fortunes around.
Leonhard was also amazed at his son's tenacity and results on the training pitch.
In the beginning, Talos still had the pampering habits of a magical aristocrat and the bad temper of a mage, such as ignoring the rules of the training ground and asking him for even ten minutes of rest when he felt tired.
Of course, he rejected his son's request with the qualities and will that a great knight should have.
He didn't expect his son, who had grown up in a honey pot, to receive the brutal training life of the bloodline in a short period of time, but the miraculous thing was that he adapted well, and it only took a few days to adjust, far beyond his expectations, and he made rapid progress.
Whenever he thought that today was the limit of Talos, in a few days he would take a small step forward from the original.
What made the Grand Knight even happier was that the bad habits that the mage had projected on Talos had been completely crushed and worn away in the daily exercises, leaving only the iron will and stubborn figure of perseverance.
From behavior to thinking, his son is completing the fundamental transformation from a spellcaster to a bloodliner.
This is good news for everyone.
"Now, even if you tell me in person that you were a mage before, I won't believe it. One day at lunch, Emma suddenly said this to Talos.
Half a month of high-intensity training has made a huge change in Talos's mental outlook.
No stranger could associate Talos with a relatively "thin" mage who excelled at ranged attacks after seeing him.
His height increased by a full three inches, to five feet and ten inches.
Although he is still the shortest in his family, it is one of the few good news in half a month that can make Talos sincerely happy.
The muscle lines that were not very obvious began to appear on Talos's body, and the muscles on his arms, chest and abdomen bulged one by one, without a trace of fat, containing the beauty of masculinity and strength.
As a part of his body and walking, Talos's tail was thick for a full circle, reaching a length of eight feet, and even the scales on it had been changed due to regular crawling training, and the new scales became stiffer and smoother.
On more than one occasion, the young Naga felt the tightness and tingling of his tail in his sleep, as if the next moment he was going to wrap himself around the stone pillar like a real snake and begin to molt to prevent the fast-growing flesh from bursting the snake's skin and scales.
Thankfully, Naga doesn't have this procedure and can grow normally without having to go through molting, otherwise he would have really fainted the moment the molt started.
But Emma says that the biggest change in Talos is his temperament.
In the past, although Talos had extraordinary powers and was a genius mage who opened the meditation space at a young age, he often seemed quite harmless to humans and animals, and he also had a little bit of arrogance and ignorance of the world because he had grown up being favored by his family since he was a child.
It's different now.
Trained as a knight, Talos looked like a sharpened knife, and though it hadn't reached the point where murderous energy was written all over his body, it was hard to find anything related to softness and innocence.
He's a knight, as if he was born like this!
"You should be happy for me, it shows that my efforts in the past half month have not been in vain. "Talos is in a very good mood because of the recognition.
"Of course, this is good news, and I'm proud of you, Tár. Emma put the last steak into her mouth, "And I have two other pieces of good news here that I can't wait to share with you." ”
As he eliminated the third portion of food for lunch, Talos threw a puzzled look at Emma and motioned for him to continue.
"Just in the morning, I was promoted to the third rank. ”
Sainz World Formal Professionals are divided into five levels, the first level of beginner, the second level of intermediate, and the third level of senior.
The bronze third order means that Emma will become a member of the high-level mages from today, and will have access to the most lethal group spells.
And for a multi-armed race like the Naga, the Bronze Third Order also has another very important meaning - the growth of a crucial second pair of arms!
