Returning to the small home with the smell of fire, Yan felt for the first time how important it is to have a home that can relax him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Completely let go of all the fatigue and boredom in my heart. It is like a small ship that has just experienced strong winds and waves and angry seas, and sailed the land into a peaceful harbor. That indescribable ease and comfort really calmed down his restless heart completely.

Of course, it is not this small dwelling that can play such a role. What really calmed his heart was the man who was tall and resolute like a mountain.

Looking at such a silent stand in front of the door, staring at his father with an emotion that only their father and son can experience. Yan shook his mouthpiece and whispered to him after a while.

"I'm back, old man. ”

Mu could hear the weakness in his son's heart. As a father, he would prefer that his son would be stronger and able to face everything with his chest held high. However, he already knew what was going on, but he didn't demand his son so hard. He knew that he didn't need to say anything with a stern face now. At this time, he just needs a little encouragement and comfort from his family.

This was not an easy task for him, who was used to playing a stern role, but he tensed his face and gently patted his son on the shoulder.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. I already know everything that's going on there. I know you're not having a good time right now. But, one way or another, all this is in the past. So, let's open some. ”

Mu is as clumsy as he is in words. But from his difficult expression, Hiko could still feel the silent care of this tall man. This made him grin, and then a big smile at his father.

"Don't worry, old man. I'm not as fragile as you think. I've figured it out. ”

As he said that, he patted his chest hard. The sound of the heartbeat coming from there was still audible even through the thick muscles.

"This life of mine was bought back by her life. So, even if it is to be worthy of everything she has done, I have to live well. Make every day of the rest of my life exciting enough. Only in this way can I go to the dream of the Eternal Dead to tell her in my own words after I die, that I have not failed her. ”

"If you think like that, it means that you have really grown up. ”

Looking at the seemingly rejuvenated son in front of him, Mu sighed deeply, and then patted him on the shoulder while saying meaningfully.

"Then I'm relieved. Even if something happens, you should be able to live well. ”

This sentence is really a bit inexplicable. So much so that Hiko immediately touched his head and asked him strangely.

"What the hell are you talking about, old man, how do I feel as if I don't understand. ”

"You'll understand later. A slight smile appeared on his stiff face, and Mu turned the subject away in his own way. "Speaking of which, I have already felt the momentum in you from the moment I first saw your eyes, the momentum that cuts everything off you. This kind of momentum is the momentum of cutting steel, so you have already practiced this swordsmanship?"

Hiko didn't want to hide this from his father, but he didn't expect that his father could feel this kind of inner thing just by a slight change. This made him feel the strength of the Sword Master. Seeing the subtle knowledge, just by relying on this, you can think of how sharp the vision of those sword saints who can be praised as the top of the world and only under the gods.

"That's right, I've practiced the steel swordsmanship. It's just that I still didn't have time to save her. ”

Sighing, Hikoko said this to his father as he acknowledged his accomplishments. In this regard, Mu just patted him on the shoulder again, and then looked at his other apprentice.

"Qiong, it seems that you have fallen behind your junior brother. ”

Hearing this, Qiong immediately couldn't help but bite his lip. She's a strong person. And naturally, the last thing she can accept is that she is weaker than others somewhere. Therefore, she has always been comparing herself with Hiko, in all aspects. Only this time, she herself had to admit that she was indeed lagging behind Hiko.

It made her a little lost, but the frustration was only temporary. Soon, her eyes widened, revealing a resolute and serious look, and she swore to Mu.

"I'll catch up with Hiko. I promise you, teacher!"

The dome is still as motivated as ever. And that's exactly what Mu, as a teacher, is happy to see. But he knows very well that this kind of thing cannot be achieved by mere effort. It takes opportunity, it takes some very good timing. If the time is not right, it will only be half the effort. So he immediately reassured his student.

"Don't be in too much of a hurry, Dome. It's good to just let things come naturally. Well, you've been on the road for a long day, and you should be feeling tired. I prepared dinner and hot water. After you have eaten and bathed, go and rest as soon as possible. ”

For Mu's arrangement, they naturally would not refuse. So soon, they went back to their rooms to rest.

And lying in his own bed, Hiko couldn't sleep. So he thought about it for a while, got up directly, and walked towards the place where Mu was working.

As usual, Mu continued his forging work. He seems to have made this a part of his life, and he basically doesn't stop unless it's a special situation. And after following the sound of the hammer that kept beating in front of his father, Hikoko took a deep breath and said this to his father.

"Father, I want to be stronger!"

"Stronger?" Stopping the hammer in his hand, Mu shifted his gaze to his son. In the past year, this originally thin son has undergone earth-shaking changes little by little. And this change made him start to grow stronger, and become worthy of his name.

He has already been recognized by many people, and he identifies with his identity as the son of the Sword Master. These are the results of his efforts. It is not only the dedication in the construction of Beifeng Town, but also the embodiment of his strength. Being able to slay a monster that has been refined and transformed by the human body is an achievement that even among the Nords is enough to be proud of.

And now, after having such an achievement, Hiko would actually make such a request. This was really a surprise to Mu.

"Can you tell me why you're asking for that?"

His father's rhetorical question made Hiko clench his fists, and his mind was still thinking about the fact of Kolori's death. Although everything has been put down, it is not so simple to let go of this kind of thing.

He had sworn to live up to the life that had been exchanged for Corori. And what does it take to do this? He thought about it for a long time, and finally got his own answer, and that was power!

In the past, it was just to make his father proud, just to live up to his life. That's why he began to practice swordsmanship and cultivate holy light. And now, he feels like he's carrying more weight than that. It was a heavier weight that was placed on him, and he had to make a change.

"I don't want to see Kolori's happen again!"

Raising his head suddenly, Hikoko made such a sound categorically.

"I want to have power, to have the power to protect all the people I want to protect. I don't want to be a powerless spectator when this happens again. I have to stand up, stand at the front, use my sword, use my body, protect all the people I want to protect. Father, do you understand my thoughts?"

"I understand, of course I understand!" Mu couldn't help but sigh deeply as he stared into his son's eyes for a long time, looking at the shining light in his eyes. "You see, strength alone can't protect everyone you want to protect. The world is much more complicated than you think. ”

"I understand, father. But if I don't have the strength, then what am I who can't do even the most basic things?

Hiko's tone began to become intense. And this made Mu realize that his son had already gotten into the horns. At this time, it is impossible to dissuade him. And, in a way, there's nothing wrong with what he's saying.

Strength, sometimes, is indeed the root of many things. Without strength, it is difficult to move an inch in this world after all. Therefore, the request he made may not be able to satisfy him. It's just that......

Thinking of this, Mu began to look at his son seriously. His eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through his son in its entirety. And in such a look, even the bold Yan couldn't help but get goosebumps. He didn't know what his father meant by what he was looking at him like that. And before he could ask the words, Mu was already one step ahead of him.

"Hiko. It's okay if you want to become stronger, but with these powers in you, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a good advice in a short period of time. ”

His words made Hiko immediately guess what his father had seen in him. And just as he was about to explain, Mu had already stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"Let's not talk about the power of your special divine attributes. Judging from your breathing, you have already cultivated some kind of special breathing method. Pranayama is a very rare form of exercise, and only a few families in the entire Nord people have inherited it. In the outside world, this kind of power is even rarer. I'm not an expert in this area, so I won't give you too much advice. ”
