Chapter 3: Mr. Drake
On August 30, 117 years of the Nas era, the snow fell in the thirty-fifth village of the city
"Thank you, Mr. Drake, for saving my life! Teacher, I'm so nauseous, go wash it first, wait for me!"
Wu Ling vomited a lot of meat and vegetables, temporarily gave up exploring whether Teacher Drake used the ferry body, threw away the wolf's head, took off his coat and pants, jumped into the stream next to him, and hurriedly washed.
Drake had a beard, his long hair tied up at the back of his head, gathered into a small ponytail, and his muscular muscles held his clothes bulging. The resoluteness and resoluteness of his eyes complemented the rough square face that had no expression for ten thousand years like a dead man's face, contributing to the image of a tall and mighty warrior.
The only thing that wasn't quite proportionate was that instead of a glowing blade, Drake was holding a brass-colored, one-meter-long barbecue fork that ruined the entire image. Drake rummaged back and forth with the corpse of the ghost horned wolf, and said to Wu Ling in the stream: "I really didn't say you, such a strong ghost horned wolf, fight, isn't this an opportunity to test yourself? ”
"No, no, only Harold can do the things of injuring a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred. Besides, if I can see with my own eyes, teacher, you take a barbecue fork and smash the braincase of this ghost-horned wolf, my death today is directly worth it. Let me think about how to say it...... Wu Ling jumped out of the stream into the grass and said as he put on his pants, "Today's act of death not only allowed me to see the miracle of splitting the ghost horned wolf with just a barbecue fork, but also spied on the ethereal true power, which lit a beacon for my further training and pointed out the way forward, this time death is something I am destined to do in my life, because it has put me on the road of pursuing the truth......"
"Shut up, shut up! I didn't mean you, why can't you and Harold learn something good, just learn these whiskers and slap things!" Drake said meaningfully as he slammed his barbecue fork into the dirt, his hands behind his back, his eyes looking into the distance, and The real power is not illusory, it is in your heart, there is still a month to be the new test of the War College, and there will be a crossing body activation ceremony within a month of admission, that is to say, there are no more than two months at most, you can really touch this real power, use, improve, and finally achieve success, this is what you have to do, this is where your life's pursuit lies!"
Wu Ling nodded solemnly, and at the same time secretly laughed, Teacher Drake came to this preachy posture again.
"I hope you really understand, and even if you don't, you still have to remember what I said. Since you're early, bring a wolf and help me do some work. Drake pulled out the barbecue fork on the ground, pointed to the corpse of the ghost horned wolf on the ground, and turned to walk towards the cabin not far away.
Wu Ling comprehended, Drake asked him to dismember the ghost horned wolf, sighed lightly, put the wrung out clothes on his shoulders, bent down and grabbed the two hind legs of the ghost horned wolf, and trotted a few steps behind Drake.
Wu Ling silently followed behind Drake along the way, staring at the barbecue fork in Drake's hand. Wu Ling has also learned the hardness of the ghost horn wolf bone horn, and the ink steel sword can only leave a gap on it and cannot be completely cut off, but the barbecue fork is simply a finger-thick brass rod, and the only thing that can be called a blade is the fork where the front end is flattened, that is to say, Drake used this round brass rod to cut off the ghost horned wolf, thinking of the smooth and flat bone horns with those few incisions, Wu Ling was somewhat excited.
When a golden warrior uses the energy of the crossing body, there will be golden light attached to the metal weapon, Wu Ling believes that he saw it very clearly just now, there must be no golden light, is it because it is too faint mixed in the color of the brass itself? Wu Ling had no better explanation for a while, so he could only accept this self-consistent statement first.
But the golden light ten years ago was so bright and dazzling, so full of the breath of the Holy Spirit, which brought a touch of warmth to the tragic experience that Wu Ling personally experienced.
On April 27, 107 years of the Nas Chronicle, when Wu Ling was still asleep, more than 30 young and middle-aged villagers from the 35th village of Xueluo City had already gotten up and went to the nearby mountain col to mine black steel ore with tools as usual. But none of these villagers could have imagined that this would be the last time they would set off from Xueluo 35 Village.
When the villagers arrived at the rocky forest, they found some hot and humid blood and some fragments of fur, which was not enough to shock the villagers, after all, the mountains and forests are the dwellings of wild beasts, and this is not the first time they have seen this kind of thing, and most of the furs are hares and gophers left over from wild beasts.
But the fur of that day, the gray and brown fur color is really too terrifying, it is the fur of the gray brown bear! As a large beast native to the Pumir Plateau, the gray brown bear was the absolute king of beasts in the Pumir Plateau before the invasion of the beast, and the adult gray brown bear stood nearly three meters tall, fierce and abnormal. However, even such a ferocious beast was dismembered and eaten away until only fur remained, not a single bone remained!
It must be a wrath of Whitches!
The villagers thought of the answer in a short time, but they did not have time to flee, and nearly a hundred ghost-horned wolves swarmed out of the rubble and roared towards the villagers.
The villagers, who did not have any fighting skills, did not have any chance to resist in the face of the tide of ghosts and horned wolves, and they were bitten off by the ghost horned wolves before they could even take out the ore pickaxe from their back baskets. In less than half an hour, the bones of more than 30 villagers were gone, but the appetite of the Ghost Horn Wolves was far from being satisfied, and following the smell of the villagers, the Ghost Horn Wolves slaughtered to the nearest village to the mountain col - Snow Fall City 35 Village.
This day is the saddest memory and the most painful imprint of the 35th village of Xueluo City. The Ghost Horn Wolves rushed into the village without hindrance, and in less than half an hour, more than 300 people had died in the wolf's mouth.
In that attack of the Ghost Horn Wolf Pack, Wu Ling watched his parents, who were still preparing breakfast for him, being bitten to death by the Ghost Horned Wolf, and his grandfather completely lost the part of his right leg below the knee in order to protect himself. If it weren't for Drake and the Imperial Rangers to hunt down and clean up, I'm afraid that the whole family of five would have died on the spot that day.
Wu Ling clearly remembered that when the ghost horned wolf pounced on him, Teacher Drake was wearing gold armor, holding a copper-colored two-handed giant sword, carrying a golden light, and instantly cut the ghost horned wolf into two pieces!
After the ghost horned wolf attack, Wu Ling's grandmother fell seriously ill due to excessive grief and died a month later. In the entire Wu family, only the disabled grandfather and the six-year-old Wu Ling were left to rely on each other.
On August 30, 117 years of the Nas era, the snow fell in the thirty-fifth village of the city
At noon, on the hot rock wall stones of the chaotic stone forest, Wu Ling and Harold were moving rapidly one after the other, their black practice clothes were already soaked with sweat, sticking to their bodies like a set of black tights, and outside the tights, the two of them also had a complete set of chain mail and a few pieces of black steel plates.
"Wu Ling, slow down, I can't breathe!" Harold wiped the sweat from his forehead, his steps were already messy, his snort was dull, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.
Wu Ling didn't seem to hear it, and continued to lead without looking back.
Drake's physical training for the two of them is to follow the designated route back to the Stone Forest with weight, starting and ending at Drake's cabin. This training was the most painful torture for Wu Ling and Harold, and a set of chain mail and black steel plates weighed a full 30 kilograms. At the beginning, Wu Ling and Harold ran on the path of the shortest straight line between the two points, always going straight all the way, but as he grew older and stronger, Wu Ling was no longer satisfied with this level of training, and began to follow the irregular zigzag route in the turnaround march.
Half an hour later, in the open space in the courtyard of the cabin, Wu Ling and Harold were lying on the ground like dead dogs, panting for breath, Harold jokingly kicked Wu Ling, "I really didn't say you, Wu Ling, when you come back, you are lying on your stomach like a dead dog, whew...... Didn't I say you, can't you run slower? Hey, dumb you talk. ”
"No, I'm not like you, but I'm going to be the most powerful being, to master the true power. Wu Ling glanced at Harold and got up from the ground.
"What's the difference, although my surface is more frivolous, but this is just an illusion I give to the ignorant world, I will definitely become the most powerful man sooner. Hi...... It's not like I'm talking about you, you're learning more and more from Teacher Drake, open your mouth to be the most powerful, shut up a real power, although Teacher Drake is not in the house now, but you can't educate me like this with the teacher's words!" Harold played with his mouth, and his state of poor breathing disappeared in an instant.
"If it weren't for your father beating you with a stick every day, you would have come? ”
Harold struggled to get up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said with an unhappy face: "Can we not tell the truth, you are completely ignoring your brother's face like this, you are very ...... Shameless!Pay attention to the impact on the outside in the future......"
Before Harold could finish speaking, suddenly two cold rays of light shot out from the canopy of the trees in the distance, Wu Ling and Harold gasped, their bodies shook, and flashed to both sides at the same time.
The cold light flashed, and only a "snort" sound was heard, and a broad-bladed sword with a slight golden light was nailed to the birch tree behind Harold, and the powerful force directly pierced the birch with the thickness of the skull. Harold looked at the black steel sword on the tree and touched his body, "Strange, obviously there are two of them, and what about the other one?"
"What about this, idiot!" Wu Ling waved his hand, holding a black steel long sword in his right hand. The body of this black steel longsword was slightly glowing with blue light, and in terms of width, it was obviously a one-handed sword, but its length was about ten centimeters longer than that of an ordinary one-handed sword.
Wu Ling looked carefully at the black steel long sword in his hand, frowned, and was about to step forward to take a closer look at the black steel long sword on the tree, but saw Drake jump down from the canopy in the distance, and a few jumps flashed over, so he had to stop and wait for Drake to speak.
Harold could see clearly, Drake had clearly buckled his nostrils during the jump, could it be that he had touched his hands, so he had to put his hands behind his back, and he was thinking about how to laugh at Drake.
Drake glanced approvingly at Wu Ling, then at Harold helplessly, and then his gaze slid to the black steel longsword that pierced through the trunk of the tree.
Harold touched his nose, walked to the sword stupidly, and pulled the sword out of the tree with all his strength, sweating profusely and still complaining.
"Hey, Wu Ling, you are amazing, we didn't bump into each other It's already a very tacit understanding, you even picked up a sword in the air, could it be that the hilt of the sword happened to be in your hand at that time? Harold pulled a few sword flowers and smiled at Drake with a shy face, "I'm right, Mr. Drake. ”
"There is a little bit of truth, but would you hold the blade of the sword and use the hilt to cut people? If you apply it to the hilt of the sword, I'm afraid you will be poisoned when you draw the sword!" Drake glared at Harold, "These two swords are a gift from the division, and there is still almost a month to go, and the three major war academies are about to start recruiting new tests, and the division has specially equipped these two weapons for the two of you, although the ink steel weapon is not so expensive, but the practicality is absolutely unquestionable." Harold, your fighting style is the same as your personality - chaos! never play cards according to common sense, to put it nicely, the sword is biased, the one-handed sword in Wu Ling's hand is yours, this sword is longer than the ordinary sword, it belongs to the unconventional shape, and it is very in line with your characteristics. As for you, Wu Ling, your basic skills are very solid, but the style of play is too aggressive, and you can't always stop it, the length of this hand half sword is equivalent to that of a two-handed big sword and a giant sword, but it is more flexible to use, anyway, it is not possible to hold your hand, it is better to pursue a quick victory, and a lighter and faster hand half sword has more advantages. In your junior level, in my opinion, no one can beat the two of you in one-on-one combat, and this time it is absolutely foolproof to participate in the Naxin test. ”
"Hehe, no matter how powerful it is, it's because of your good teaching, Teacher Drake, without your reasonable training arrangements and patient guidance, how could we have such strength, right, Wu Ling!"
Harold slapped his ass and stabbed Wu Ling by the way, but Wu Ling was interrupted by Drake before he could catch the stubble.
"You don't need to say these compliments anymore, Harold, you and Wu Ling came back just now and found that I was not there, without any vigilant movements, I finished eating an apple in the canopy a hundred meters away, and you didn't notice it until I threw the sword in your face, and you two didn't react. Given your performance, I think only a lap around the rocky forest with a load of weight can clear your mind. ”
"Teacher, this ......"
"Go!"
"Yes!", "Good!"
