Chapter 240: The Test

Rodin raised his eyebrows and asked condescendingly, "Little Jack, isn't it good to be an ordinary person honestly and live a down-to-earth life?"

"And then hold the book and gnaw on it, go to the docks all day long to bargain with merchants from all over the world, find a vulgar girl to marry and have children, and do nothing?" Jack suddenly looked up, his delicate face was full of determination, and said categorically, "That's not the life I want!

"Bang!" he kowtowed, and a bruise appeared on his white forehead. Louise, who was beside the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info immediately wrung her fingers in distress, but she didn't say anything to stop it.

"I sincerely beg you for guidance, and I will pay you!"

An ironic voice rang out, "Payment, if I'm not mistaken, Uncle Gyllenhaal almost spent all his savings for your schooling, where did you get your so-called reward?"

Jack's face turned red when the lie was exposed, but he still stubbornly raised his face with a pleading gaze.

Rodin was indifferent.

"You have to be clear. I just helped out on a whim, and I don't owe you anything, and I don't want you to pay for it. ”

"If you really want to cultivate the power of the bloodline and embark on the path of the Force, go to the Deep Winter Spring Academy, where the guidance is more systematic and comprehensive. ”

"But they ......"

Jack mentioned the landlord and his parents, and suddenly his face flashed with a strange color, and his voice paused for a moment.

"They just want us to do well in our studies and get a job in the government in the future. I don't understand how hard it is for us to be in school!"

"They don't know what it's like to face the white eyes and bullying of the children of big businessmen and nobles every day!"

There was a hint of frenzy in his eyes, and he looked at Rodin like a believer looking at a god.

"And you happened to appear to save us, it must be the night sky's answer to our prayers. ”

"Hah...... Funny, naΓ―ve teenager, it's not right to say that to his parents. Rodin saw sincerity and reluctance in the boy's face, but it was not enough, and he still refused mercilessly.

"I'm sorry, I won't teach you, understand?"

Rodin slapped Jack on the shoulder, then left the two of them and went straight back to the house.

Louise curled up slightly in despair, her pure and feminine face showed a timid expression, "Jack, let's not provoke Brother Rodin, in case we anger him......"

"No!

The young man gritted his teeth, and the resoluteness in his eyes was like a lone wolf that preyed, and he would not rest until he died.

"This time we must control our own destiny! I will never allow them to insult you again!"

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are shining.

Because of the unexpected incident in the afternoon, Rodin did not go to the landlord for dinner, and after hastily solving the problem, he sat cross-legged at the head of the bed to polish the power of his blood.

The failure to sprint to the silver barrier against Zaika, coupled with Hingio's words before the retreat, made him deeply aware that he was still a long way from the silver world. Therefore, he got up every morning to practice his sword, and after dinner, he sat down until dawn and used the power of the spirit whisker to purify the blood.

In the past, the owner of the rented room would not disturb him at this time, but tonight, a guest came to the door.

The five senses were far beyond ordinary people, and Rodin keenly felt the sound of two pairs of deliberately convergent footsteps from far and near, until they stopped in front of his door.

Out of the corner of his eye, he swept over the old grandfather clock in the corner, and it happened to be one o'clock in the morning.

He couldn't help but smile strangely.

The door opened, and two teenagers and girls in thin pajamas fell to their knees without saying a word.

The night wind was biting, blowing the girl's whole body trembling, and her pretty face was pale, like a destroyed white lily, but she still bit her pink lips and held on.

Jack on the side was no better, his head bowed as if waiting for trial.

"Hmph, in the dead of night, if you don't have a good rest, come to me to disturb people's dreams!"

The young man raised his head suddenly, and said confidently, "Teacher Rodin, you are really a noble person who forgets things, you patted me on the shoulder in the afternoon, didn't you just ask us to come to the door at one o'clock in the morning?"

"Cunning fellow!" said Rodin, though he was reprimanding, but his expression was gentle.

"Come in, don't get blown sick at night. ”

The two of them were overjoyed and rushed into the room impatiently.

And Jack spread out the hot quilt and wrapped his sister Louise tightly.

Rodin was angry and a little moved by the relationship between the two.

"Mr. and Mrs. Landlord, they don't care?"

Louise curled up in the bed and replied in a soft kitten voice, "Father and mother, they are asleep." How dare we ...... otherwise?"

"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense, since you can find it at this time, it's a kind of fate. ”

Jack instantly raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help waving his thin fists, "Teacher, are you willing to accept me and Louise?"

The boy's overflowing eagerness and excitement reminded Rodin of the moment when he had received Leviathan's approval.

"I was so persistent at the beginning......" couldn't help but show a look of remembrance, but he put his index finger up in front of the two and waved it.

"Don't be in a hurry to change your mind, if you want to be my student, you have to go through three tests. Let me tell you in advance that the test will be very painful, and even worse than death. ”

"Come on!" Jack was not intimidated in the slightest, but raised his head and was in high spirits.

"Teacher, I will definitely prove myself to you, whether it is three tests, or ten, or a hundred!"

"Huh...... So are you alone, or are you?"

Rodin rolled his eyes and looked at Louise, who was as timid as a bunny.

"I'm alone, I'll be strong enough to protect my sister!"

"No, I want to be together!"

The effeminate girl uncharacteristically refutes her brother's decision. and glared back at Jack sternly.

Rodin looked at the two of them with interest, "Okay, the relationship between brother and sister will be talked about later, the first test will be held tonight, are you ready?"

"Huh?" Louise's lips were half red, and she was very cute.

Jack was also shocked by the sudden words, and was speechless for a long time.

This time period is the most difficult time for ordinary people, not to mention the unprepared for a sudden attack, and the two siblings hesitated.

If you don't even have the courage and determination to be tested now, you might as well go back to school honestly!"

"Okay, teacher, I'll be tested, Louise won't need it!"

"Don't want to leave me!" the girl glared at Jack stubbornly, and then said to Rodin sincerely, "Please let me be tested together!"

Eventually, the elder brother compromised with the younger sister, and both siblings were taken downstairs to the courtyard.

The night breeze blew through their thin clothes, and they had to rub their palms vigorously to keep warm.

"Don't worry, it'll be hot in no time!"

Rodin lightly jumped onto an evergreen tree and snapped off two arm-length branches. Then a magic scene was staged in front of the two siblings.

They were surprised to see a hazy cloud of inky liquid suddenly appear on the ribs of the not-so-tall young man on the opposite side. The liquid rolled the branches like tentacles, and the corrosive green smoke rose immediately, and a moment later, two rough wooden swords were concocted.

"Take the wooden sword, and now start wielding it in the position that you feel most comfortable with, and hold on until I am satisfied, and the first test will be passed!"
