"So...... This is what you've been preparing for two days?" asked Aljet with a look of disbelief as he raised the blank piece of paper he had just gotten in his hand after listening to Eri's account.

"That's right, this is the soul painting that Garr and I have painstakingly prepared for two days - cows eating grass. Ari said righteously.

"At first, I thought about sending some rare ores, rare animal and plant specimens, and then I thought that you don't like these mundane things, teacher......"

Hearing Ari's serious nonsense, Gard's head was already down to his chest, and his little face was flushed. Rare ores, rare specimens, I don't read much, don't lie to me......

Even though he had heard it once, he still couldn't accept such a fresh and unconventional explanation.

He quietly raised his head and glanced at the teacher.

Sure enough, Algert's face turned blue...... Even Gal couldn't accept it, but you can imagine Aljet's attitude. He gritted his teeth and gurgled and said with an angry grin, "Yes, very good! I like your gifts!"

In order to be worthy of the gifts you have carefully prepared, from today onwards, Gal will swing his hammer two hundred times a day, and Ari will ...... Five hundred times a day. Algert looked kind, then looked up to the sky and laughed, "I can't wait to teach you how to strike iron." ”

With that, Algert turned around and left the courtyard with his hands behind his back, leaving Ari and Gal looking at each other.

"What's going on?"

Ari has a toothache, and five hundred strokes is quite difficult for him, and he won't die if he doesn't die. He was going to visit the tavern, but now it seems that he really doesn't have time.

"Two hundred, that's a hell of a thing!Ari, I'm not going to die with you next time!" Gal wailed in despair. The pain on his face was unbearable. A hundred strokes will kill him, and this time it will be doubled directly.

"No more nonsense, let's get started!" Eri gritted his teeth and walked to the warehouse, picked up his hammer, and walked murderously towards the wooden pier.

......

Atlanta City, McLean's mansion.

Ilya stared at the three neatly arranged headless corpses and frowned: "The incision is neat, and one blow kills." Obviously, the three of them were killed in seconds without resistance, this is a master. ”

"Nine......" McLean pointed in one direction.

Ilya shook his head: "It's not him, this kind of killing method and strength do not match the characteristics of the known masters around him, and the value of these three people is not enough for him to send his hidden strength, so the murderer who killed these three people should not be his person." ”

"Who else but him will rob them? McLean asked, puzzled.

"Either they met an enemy, or they ...... It's that they know something they shouldn't know, and they are killed. After Ilya finished speaking, her gaze unabashedly shifted to McLean.

"Not me. They don't know my secret......" McLean was startled and hurriedly argued.

Suddenly, he noticed that Elija's gaze had become strange, and he immediately noticed his speech problem, and sneered: "I don't have any secrets......"

"Have you clarified the matter of the Guardian?" Ilya asked suddenly, looking to the north.

"After checking out, the Guardian Descendant has accepted two apprentices, one of whom is Garl, the son of His Royal Highness the Nine. McLean said quickly. Obviously, he wouldn't just send mercenaries to investigate, even if it was a remote village like Bran Village, as long as he wanted to know, there would be countless news coming to him.

Only then did Ilya retract her gaze, remembering the team she had seen in the mountains, and muttered, "It seems that it is necessary to go to Bran Village." ”

......

"No, no, I'm going to die!" Gal shouted as he slammed his heavy hammer aside, gulping in on the fresh air.

He felt that his arms were so sore that he could no longer lift the hammer, not only his arms, but his whole body was sore and weak, and even when he stood up, he felt that it was an impossible thing to accomplish, he felt that his body must have been on fire, otherwise why was it difficult to breathe in the hot chest.

"Three hundred and seventy-six...... Three hundred and seventy-seven!" Ari stopped as he picked up the piece of iron again, and stood there gasping for air. No matter how simple it is, once it reaches the number, it will be a terrible task. Ordinary people would be a little tired even if they just raised their hands more than three hundred times, not to mention that he used all his strength every time.

Gal was lying on the ground in large letters, looking at Ari who was still standing with envy on his side face, and asked with a pant breath: "Eri, I still have a hundred strokes left, how much are you still missing." ”

"I hit three hundred and seventy-seven times. Ari said without thinking.

"Then you're ...... missing" Gal silently pinched his fingers and calculated, five hundred minus three hundred and seventy-seven equals......

After a long time, Gal put his hand down rather frustratedly: "Poor...... That's a lot. ”

“......”

"Ari, I'm so hungry. Gal sat up with difficulty and said with a bitter face. Pippi Falcon, who had been rolling all morning, also screamed in Ari's head.

Garl shouts that he can understand, but what are you doing with the bastards? Feeling the resentment that kept coming from Pippi Falcon, Ari was no longer able to complain......

"Don't look at me...... I'm so hungry too. Ari said as he touched his shriveled stomach and rolled his eyes.

"Eri, I'm missing Konishi a little......" Garr looked in the direction of the castle in a daze.

Xiao Xiji is the name that Gal gave to the demon pet, and after Ari told him that Xiao Xiji was the title of the king of all beasts, Gar excitedly named the demon pet Xiao Xiji. In addition, Eudora and Rollin's pets also have good names, Eudora chose the supposedly bravest Brain Axe, and Rollin chose the smartest Little Funi......

Suddenly, Gal sat there and looked around, his eyes rolling around, and after making sure that Algert was not there, he looked at Ari in surprise: "Anyway, the teacher is not there, why don't we go back for a while?"

"No!" said Ari, who refused without even thinking about it.

Naive, do you really think that Algert is gone? He dares to vouch for his reputation as a teacher, that guy must be squatting in a corner somewhere!

"Hurry up, it's a hundred, and I'll go to you when I'm done...... Konishi is a few years old. Seeing that Garl wanted to be lazy, Ari had to tempt him by seeing Little Siji.

"It's coming,......," Gal replied weakly.

Algert squatted in the corner of the roof, and when he saw that Ari didn't mean to be lazy at all, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and muttered in a low voice: "Sure enough, it's two fools, I don't know how to be lazy when I'm not there." ”

As he spoke, he took out a worn-out notebook from his arms, and crossed out a line from it in annoyance: "I'm lazy, I'm not allowed to eat by the teacher." ”
