Chapter 113: Turning Point 2
Chapter 113:
Unexpectedly, Richard refused directly, and Ron was slightly stunned.
Before he could ask, however, Richard continued.
"It's not that I regret my original promise, it's just that if you want to become a wizard, you need a special talent, this qualification is innate, no foreign object can replace it, it is very rare, maybe there may be a person in a large country who has the talent to become a wizard, but that person is not you. ”
"Qualification?"
Listening to Richard's explanation, Ron's face remained unchanged, he just lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Richard paused as he looked down at Ron, then resumed his harmless smile and continued.
"If you want to become a wizard, you just want to gain power, although you don't have the qualifications of a wizard, however, you can take other paths, if you go down that path, maybe not as strong as wizards, but you are definitely the top existence in the mortal realm, even some pure-bred aliens can't be compared. ”
Hearing Richard's words, Ron raised his head and said calmly. "What a road. ”
"It's the path of blood. Richard said slowly. "My student Skull has been studying the bloodline difference between ordinary humans and aliens, and so far in his experiments he has obtained some useful things from the two, and these things are the key to the promotion of alien innate abilities, if you want, I can let you also obtain alien innate abilities, you know that there are some alien innate abilities, even I can't ignore them, are you willing?"
"Alien?" Ron frowned slightly, he looked at Richard's miserable green face, and for a long time, he shook his head slightly.
"No, I don't think that path is what I need. ”
His body is already very complex now. There's no need to get anything involved.
Moreover, it is unclear that Ron would have used him as a guinea pig if he had chosen this path.
After all, in the Stone Gate, Richard's attitude towards him was something he always remembered.
"Oh, are you sure?" said Richard, raising an eyebrow. "That's a purebred alien innate ability, don't you want to have it?"
"Yes. Ron nodded affirmatively, his expression solemn. "I'm very happy with who I am as a human being, I don't want to change anything, and I want to be a wizard more than just to gain power. And the exploration and understanding of the world, I don't want to live in a small circle forever. ”
"Yes" Richard looked deeply at Ron's serious expression, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Not caring what Richard was thinking, Ron bowed his head slightly and continued.
"Since I can't be a wizard, please send me back when you pass through Soros City. ”
Richard didn't immediately reply to Ron's request, just looked at him quietly.
It took a while for Richard to speak.
"Forget it. I am a very principled person, and since I have promised you, I must fulfill my promise, even though you do not have the qualifications of a wizard and do not want to choose the bloodline path. Then I have one more path for you, and that is to become my student. ”
"Student?" Ron's pupils shrank slightly.
"Yes. Richard nodded, in a soothing tone. "I can't give you the ability to change your qualifications to become a wizard, and you don't want to choose to have immediate power. Then I can only satisfy your other expectation with something else, you know, wizards are originally beings who believe in the search for truth. It's a lot of stuff, almost anything you can imagine and can't imagine, and you can't be a wizard, but maybe you can become something else with this knowledge and things, and of course, maybe you will be ruined because of it, you know what I mean?"
Ron listened to Richard's words silently, but an inexplicable light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Bowing his head slightly, he pretended to think and hesitated in his tone.
"Well, I need to think about it. ”
"Of course, I'll give you plenty of time to think about it. Richard looked at Ron's already somewhat moved expression with satisfaction.
He turned around and whispered as he walked towards the cabin. "If you decide, stay with me first, don't worry about Soros City, whether it's the city guard or your friends, I'll arrange it. ”
"Yes, sir. Looking at Richard's departing back, Ron said respectfully.
'Click'
The door slammed shut, and the respectful expression on Ron's face slowly receded, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze returning to the shocking scenery outside the ship, and his heart was calm.
From Richard's conversation with him, he clearly felt Richard's intention to keep him by his side.
After all, even a three-year-old wouldn't easily believe the kind of verbal promises that were made casually before.
Ron didn't know what Richard's purpose was for deliberately keeping him, but judging from his performance just now, Richard didn't have any dangerous thoughts about him for the time being.
This is very good news for Ron.
Since Richard wants to take him as a student, Ron can use this relationship to learn about the world and the legendary wizard.
Moreover, he was not sure how true what Richard said just now, and even what Richard said that he had no wizarding qualifications would really know after Ron himself had identified it.
As the ship flew rapidly, the skyscraper-like trees below slowly became extremely scarce, until five minutes later, a strange forest of twelve trees hung with blade-like branches and leaves appeared beneath the sails.
Flying insects with thin transparent wings occasionally fluttered around these huge strange trees, most of them had long, slender and sharp limbs, strange shapes, and flew very fast, and they might disappear in the blink of an eye.
As time passed, the black sailboat, which had been flying at a high altitude, gradually lowered its altitude and nimbly avoided the flying insects that flew out.
During the landing of the sailboat, in Ron's field of vision, an oval treehouse growing on the top of a giant tree slowly appeared.
'Bang!'
With a crisp sound, the sailboat docked steadily above the flight level at the end of the tree's roof, and the pitch-black boarding board gently fell.
Richard and Scour slowly walked down on the boarding board, followed by Ron, who followed behind.
The fierce cold wind around them blew the clothes of the three of them into a hunting sound.
The three of them walked some distance on the roof, and Richard stopped and stomped his foot lightly.
'Click. ’
Ron, standing on the roof, felt his feet sink, and the hard roof was wrapping around his body like quicksand and slowly sinking.
After a while, his vision went dark, and he disappeared from the roof. (To be continued.) )
