Chapter 20: Far Mountain Castle
Al's words were plain, but full of strong confidence.
Such words, to Cooper's ears, were undoubtedly a powerful mockery.
Taking a step forward, there was an invisible aura emanating from Cooper's body, obviously wanting to make a move.
But at this moment, the long-faced horse bandit suddenly spoke: "Boss, the time is up.
If we go late and upset the chief, I'm afraid tomorrow will be difficult.
As for the brother's feud and the boss, your sword, you just have to find this guy in the next day to get it back. ”
Hearing the words of the long-faced horse bandit, Cooper gritted his teeth fiercely, gave Al a deep look, and turned to leave the carriage.
Cooper then took the lead, and the four men jumped off the train with the bodies of the dead bandits and soon disappeared.
Seeing that the bandits had left, Al immediately deactivated his use of [Focus].
Then he took out the cloth that had been wrapped in the Iron Cross Sword and wrapped the newly acquired Iron Sword.
With that done, Al returned to his seat and sat down, looking out the window as he had done before.
It's just that Al can do it the same as before, but it doesn't mean that everyone can do it.
Almost all of them distanced themselves from El at a distance.
He would even rather change to the dirtier carriage in front of him than sit close to Al.
It's as if they're afraid that the meteor thieves will hate them too.
These people didn't expect that if there was no Al, their finances would be swept away by Cooper and the others.
Al didn't take these people's reactions to heart.
Because now, all his attention is on recalling Cooper's previous combat skills.
The swift sword like a meteor, the sword that almost killed El at the hands of Cooper, made a deep impression on El.
When facing Cooper's sword before, Al was in a state of [concentration].
As a result, Al had memorized Cooper's movements and gestures when he unleashed that sword.
It's just that because there is no breathing rate and power generation skills corresponding to combat skills, Al can't master them immediately.
Therefore, he has to constantly think in his mind, and then come up with a possible way to exert force.
It was only by using this clumsy method that El could master the combat technique without the method of cultivating the combat technique.
Just as El kept thinking about the way the combat technique called Swiftstar could be used.
The young guard and the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came to Al and sat down.
Raising his head and looking at the young guard and the girl, Al asked with some confusion, "Do you have anything to do?"
After a moment's hesitation, the young guard and the girl glanced at each other, and took the lead in speaking: "This ......"
"Al, you can call me Al. ”
"Well, yes, Mr. Al, Lila and I are here to thank you.
Thank you for saving both of us at the hands of the horse bandits.
Otherwise, we're both in trouble. ”
Hearing the young guard's words, Al smiled slightly and said, "I just ran into it, so I made a move."
As for thanks, there's nothing to be thankful for, and anyone who has my ability will do it.
They don't make a move, just because they don't have the strength, and if I didn't have the strength, I wouldn't do it. ”
"That's not the same, after all, there are a few people who can make a move, so you're not like those who just hold back. ”
Al looked at the excited Lila in some surprise, and vaguely guessed in his heart that something should have happened to her when she was taken away before.
Combined with the situation that Lila was snatched by horse bandits just now, but no adult was involved.
Al's guess is that Lila shouldn't have acted with her family.
And looking at her financial resources in the last luxury car of the train, I think that nine out of ten are the young ladies of a big family.
As for why he took the train to Yuanshan City early in the morning, he probably ran out to play by himself in private.
Of course, none of this is anything to be noticed for Al.
So he guessed a little and stopped thinking about these things.
Looking at the relatively silent young guard and Lila, Al smiled and said, "I'm sorry, two.
I fought a little hard just now, so I want to take a break now, I wonder if I can?"
Hearing Al's words, the young guard and Lila stood up almost immediately.
Then he said some more words of thanks to Al, and then left.
Feeling the peace again, Al took a deep breath and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
However, of course, it was only on the surface, and in fact, Al was still thinking about that kind of combat skill.
After all, although Lancer's breathing method for Al was good, the combat skills recorded on it were too basic and superficial.
Coupled with the existence of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, El can't put sorcery in the open.
Therefore, El needs a combat skill, a combat skill that can instantly burst into powerful power as a special move.
The distance between Linshan Town and Yuanshan Castle is not very far.
Although the speed of the train is slower than that of the other world, it is okay.
But after most of the day, the train finally arrived at El's destination, Far Mountain City!
As soon as the car arrived at the station, Al got off the bus directly with his bag on his back.
Deliberately avoided the train guards who came with the city guards to ask about the horse bandits before.
Al walked out directly of the Far Mountain City Railway Station, which is many times larger than the small railway station in Linshan Town.
Following the tide of people, Al looked at the wide street in front of him and the pedestrians on either side.
I couldn't help but feel a little like seeing the streets of my previous life.
He shook his head slightly, dispelling the slightest hint of feeling.
Al then inquired with someone nearby about the location of Solandal Middle School, and walked towards Solandal Middle School.
Solandal Secondary School is an iconic presence in Far Mountain Town, located in the city center not far from the train station.
So Al didn't have to walk long before he saw a school with a lot of space.
At this time, a large number of young people came and went, apparently students studying in schools.
Before walking to the gate of Solandal Middle School, Al immediately saw the notice posted at the gate.
As Al expected, the notice was written about the registration for the entrance exam to Solangjoya University the day after tomorrow.
"This exam is really expensive, it costs eight gold coins, and if I hadn't hunted that forest storm bear, I really wouldn't have much money. ”
With a mutter, Al turned around and walked into Solandal Middle School, ready to go to the registration office to sign up.
However, just as Al walked into Solandal Middle School, in the alley opposite.
A sneaky middle-aged man looked at Al's departing back, and an uplifting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He'd been waiting here for days, and today he finally got El to arrive.
With a slight wave of his hand, the two subordinates behind him immediately understood and went directly to inform his upline.
At this time, the sneaky middle-aged man whispered, "Al, I can't complain about my uncle's cruelty.
If you don't die, not only will your brother not be able to inherit the title of the future Grant family.
Even your stepmother and uncle have no good fruit to eat.
If you want to complain, you will complain that your dead ghost mother is too important in your father's heart.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have made this decision, you have to die!"
As the words fell, the sneaky middle-aged man, Al Hubo's titular uncle, disappeared in the darkness of the alley.
Walking out of Solandar Middle School, Al felt a heartache as he touched the money bag that had visibly deflated on the inside of his clothes.
After many years of frugality, plus the bear skin of a forest storm bear, this is the money that has been accumulated.
Just by signing up, almost half of the results were spent.
"I really miss the previous nine years of compulsory education, at least I don't need money for exams. ”
With a slight complaint, Al straightened out his backpack and left with the crosssword wrapped in cloth.
The exam date starts the morning after tomorrow, so Al is ready to find a relatively cheap place to stay.
Therefore, the city center of the far mountains is definitely not in the range of Eyre's options.
If you think about it on your toes, the price of a night in those places is definitely far more than the price of registering for an exam.
Aimlessly looking for cheap and relatively comfortable places on the streets.
Suddenly, Al saw a group of men running in his direction on horseback in front of him.
Looking behind him, Al noticed that the people behind him were all like him, with an inquiring look.
When Al turned around, the leader of the group of horsemen stopped in front of him.
I saw that the knight got off his horse, and he was a little taller than Al.
Therefore, he looked at Al condescendingly and said with great disdain: "Al Grant!
I didn't expect you to have the face to return to Yuanshan City, I really underestimated your face.
How do I remember when someone said that they would never come to Far Mountain City in their lifetime?"
Al looked at the handsome young man with blonde hair in front of him, and wondered.
However, if the other party can clearly say his name, it is naturally impossible to admit it wrongly.
Frowning slightly, Al wanted to ask why the other party recognized him.
But at this moment, staccato scenes emerged from the depths of Al's soul.
Looking at that scene, Al suddenly understood a lot of things.
For example, who is the person in front of him, and why he is so directed at himself.
Another example is why Al suddenly became seriously ill in the first place.
even died of a serious illness, allowing the current Al to take advantage of the loophole and occupy his body.
Since the crossing, Al has been having a vague memory of the short period before he fell ill.
It wasn't until now that he saw the person in front of him that Al finally remembered the anger and pain of being beaten and killed!
