Ji Yijun and Caterina waited for a while, and the man and Crete finally finished the exercise. The two rabbits were tossed repeatedly by the strange red light, and they were already lying motionless on the ground.

The man looked satisfied, patted Crete's head, whispered a few more words, and then turned and walked closer to the woods and left.

Crete bowed to his back, and then continued to practice as he had been intended, only to see him reach upward, chanting a vague incantation in his mouth, and a faint purple light from time to time in his palm.

The man glanced back at him, smiled and nodded. But when the man's back disappeared into the forest, Crete immediately stopped his movements, stared at the forest for a while, turned around and walked up the mountain path.

"One by one, I'll chase that man, you go and ask your good brother. Ji Yijun turned over and got off the tree and chased directly into the forest.

By this time it was already nightfall, and everything in the forest was bathed in a cold blue hue. Ji Yijun ran for dozens of meters and found the other party's footprints, so he chased forward with the footprints.

After chasing for about ten minutes, Ji Yijun began to feel that something was wrong, he referred to the mountain peaks in the distance, and found that the footprints actually circled an arc, he endured his doubts, continued to track, and when he ran out of the forest, he was stunned to find that the small wooden house was actually in front of him, and the footprints ended here.

Ji Yijun reluctantly searched the hillside where the cabin was located again. There was no one, only two dead rabbits on the ground who told him that this was exactly where he had set out.

He wasn't sure if it was a pre-arranged trick or a strange magical effect, but there was no doubt that the man was on high alert. No matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like a script where a master secretly passes on his skills when he sees the beauty of good materials.

He looked at the forest with some concern, could that guy be hiding in the shadows and watching us now?

Ji Yijun didn't stop at the top of the mountain for long, but quickly chased down the mountain, and it didn't take long to find Caterina and Crete standing opposite each other in the mountain road.

At this time, Caterina was saying loudly to Crete, "...... You have to tell me who that man is!"

Crete put his hands in his pockets and bowed his head in silence.

"Listen to me, Crete. A good guy wouldn't sneak you here. You've met too few people, and some people seem to be nice to you, but have bad intentions. You, you can't just trust them. "It sounds like this conversation has been going on for a while, and Caterina doesn't seem to be making much progress.

"I've seen a lot, Sister Katarina. Crete looked up, "I know very well who is good for me and who is bad for me, I have my own measure." ”

"You little kid tell me to be in measure, I've seen more villains than you've ever seen a living person!"

"You're not much older than me!"

"You!"

Ji Yijun couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and asked, "If I remember correctly, Xiao Chen agreed to accept you as an apprentice, right? Why are you so impatient?"

Crete glanced at Ji Yijun and asked, "You are Master Ji from the camp management office, right?"

Ji Yijun pouted and said, "Don't call me an adult, twilight." Look up to me, you can call me Brother Ji. ”

"Master Ji, is my current behavior violating the camp regulations?"

Ji Yijun was stunned for a moment and replied, "No." ”

"Did you go against Master Xiao Chen's instructions?"

Ji Yijun's brows furrowed, "No." ”

"Then why can't you meet an alien and learn some small spells? According to the shallow knowledge I have gained from dramas and songs, many famous mages in history have a lot of traditions. Maybe Master Xiao Chen will be tolerant of me when I learn some other means. ”

Ji Yijun's face darkened, and he said to Katarina: "You 'brother' can do it, you are sharp-tongued, we have become dogs and rats meddling." ”

"Crete, don't squander everyone's concern for you!" Caterina's anger was already on her face, "Everything we do is to fear that you will go down the wrong path. Has anyone ever heard that a day's practice can release magic? Master Xiao Chen releases magic, how can there be such a strange purple light? There must be a big problem!"

"If there's a problem, I'll ask you to help me. Crete said sincerely, "But, now it's really not necessary, I'm fine." ”

"We, we, this is concerned about you!"

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm really fine. Really, Sister Katarina. Crete sighed and said, "I'm tired now, and it's said that if you don't have a good rest after learning magic, it will hurt people's mental power and damage their future development potential." I think I'll have to go back to the castle and sleep first. With that, Crete did not wait for the two to answer, and walked briskly down the mountain.

"You!" Caterina stomped her foot angrily, pointing at his back.

"We've become troublemakers for his practice. Is this guy like this all the time? I really want to beat him up. ”

"No, I've never met him, although I don't know much about him. Do you think he's going to be controlled by an evil mage?"

"I don't think so. Ji Yijun spread his hands and said, "But I thought back to what you said, it was definitely copied from 'a hundred words that my parents should never say', and I would run away if I listened to it." ”

Caterina angrily stepped on Ji Yijun's instep for the second time.

——————————————————————

Xiao Chen finished his morning meditation on a hillside outside the castle, and on the way back to the castle, he met Ye Zi, who had returned from practicing martial arts. Ye Zi, as usual, was wearing leather armor and holding the silver-white spear. She wore a simple ponytail and her face was ruddy and covered in beads of sweat.

Xiao Chen walked side by side with her and asked, "How is it, are you still adapting these days?"

"Senior, it's okay!" Ye Zi nodded.

"Tried against Selinda again today?"

"Yes, she's a good opponent. I've never met anyone who trains harder than her. Ye Zi said sincerely, "It's a pity, if she has a better talent, she will definitely have great achievements." But even now, she is still a very good magic knight, and she is very skilled. ”

Xiao Chen nodded, in this world, most of the people who become magic knights are people who can't practice fighting spirit, and they can only learn superficial magic, compared with fighting warriors, magic knights lack absolute strength and explosive power, and compared with magicians, they lack truly powerful magic. People who really have potential in the two realms of magic martial arts will rarely choose such a route. Of course, there are exceptions, I heard that the people in the Sword Tower back then were all magic swordsmen with a very high level of magic. However, this is not the focus of Xiao Chen's concern: "After competing with her for so many days, what kind of person do you think Selinda is?"

"Hmm...... , you have to promise me not to tell Li Jia. ”

"My mouth is tightest. Xiao Chen made a zipper movement on the side of his mouth.

Ye Zi pondered for a while, "She is very strong, although I admire her in martial arts, but I don't like her." In other words, it's not that I hate her as a person, but I don't like her attitude towards others. ”

"Is she treating you badly?"

"That's not it, since I beat her up, she respects me a lot, and tells me a lot of things about her past, I think she wants to be friends with me. But she treats the rest of the castle differently. She shouted to her maids and guards without any politeness. For other servants and the like, it is even more like air. As for the peasants around her, she looked contemptuous when she spoke of them. ”

"You don't like the attitude of the aristocracy towards the common people. Xiao Chen concluded.

"Uh-huh, I didn't expect the real nobles to be so bad. Ye Zi said with some anger, "When I saw those things in textbooks before, I thought it was too exaggerated, in our world, those European aristocrats looked polite and polite, and they felt so stylish." But the nobles here are so cruel. Two days ago I saw that Pinto whip the farmer a few times. The peasant uncle was so pitiful, as if he had broken the leg of the ploughing cow because he was careless. ”

Xiao Chenwaner: "The production relations between the ancient aristocracy and the modern aristocracy and the commoners are different, and the natural attitude is also different. But in essence, it doesn't make much difference. So you broke Pinto's nose a few days ago?"

Ye Zi stuck out his tongue, "I threw a stone casually, who told him to walk carelessly." Some people don't do things authentically, and it's not surprising that there is a curse, right, senior. ”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Take it easy, we don't know this world well enough, how do you know that there is no old monster hidden in this castle, and you secretly see everything in your eyes?"

"Huh? What did you find? Ye Zi lowered his voice suddenly, and his eyes widened.

"Nope. Judging by how I feel when dealing with the Earl, though. The Count was not the playboy he was rumored to be, he was a man with ideas, but he was hidden under that mask. Even Pinto, although he looks like a fox and a tiger, is a babbling steward...... But do you think that a person with ideas and ambitions would use a bombastic waste as an assistant? We have to be more careful in everything we do, the water is very deep here. ”

Ye Zi nodded abruptly, "Then what are our plans next?"

"Negotiations are still going on, and contracts for products and trade routes are constantly being confirmed, and Li Jia also needs a chance to prove herself and determine the marriage contract. I'm still looking for an opportunity to visit other parts of the kingdom through the Earl's channels. The more we know about the world, the safer we are. ”

"Hmm. Ye Zi nodded in approval.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's have dinner together in a while. Alas, white bread, black bread, come and go with bread. ”

"It's good to have bread to eat. Think of the poor farmers. Ye Zi said.

"I am not satisfied. But a better breakfast is also the driving force for my generation to change the world. Xiao Chen stretched and said.

Ye Zi covered his mouth and laughed. They walked a few more steps, and she suddenly turned around and said, "Senior, there is one thing, I still want to hear your opinion. ”

"What's the matter?"

"About this gun, and my dreams. ”
