"Bang, bang!" The two ring-beating sounds woke Gu Shiyu from his stupor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 He rubbed his eyes and looked up at Eric, only to see the anger on his face.

"You're going to compete tomorrow, my lecture is very important, how can you not concentrate?!" The world-famous white-robed shaman Eric Wan was busy with his own class, which is something that everyone in the world dreams of, this kid actually closes his eyes from time to time and secretly naps.

"I'm really sorry, honorable High Priest Eric, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you, but I really couldn't open my eyelids. You know, Boris, Altyn and Eufrittin have been taking turns teaching me magic and fighting since yesterday, and I haven't slept all night......"

Eric nodded, then shook his head again and sighed, "Well, come with me." ”

The two of them came to the altar of flowing water in the garden. In the center of the altar is a half-naked statue of a woman, with kind eyebrows and a serene expression. She held the child in her arms with one hand, and put the strong and straight ** to the child's mouth with the other hand.

Could this trickle of water be her milk? It just seemed that she had too much milk, and it had already gathered into a pool under her feet.

The white-robed priest knelt down and worshiped the statue, followed by Gu Shiyu.

Eric stood up and said with a solemn expression: "This is Gaia, Mother Earth. She uses her milk to feed all things in the world selflessly. Although the people she blessed frantically hurt her for their own selfish desires, cutting down the trees she used to breathe to make houses, mercilessly cutting off her muscles and bones, getting minerals from them, digging out her beautiful skin with unhealable scars, destroying and cultivating on them repeatedly...... She was covered in bruises, moaning wordlessly, dripping with blood and tears, the blood in her veins gradually dried up, and little by little her youth and beauty were lost,...... But she didn't complain, she didn't complain, she didn't get angry, she still opened her arms, opened her heart, and gave her blood and milk. ”

Gu Shiyu nodded, full of respect for this great woman. Perhaps the clear pool under her feet is not only milk, but also contains countless tears.

Wait, is Mother Earth called Gaia? Isn't that the same name as Princess Gaia? Gu Shiyu looked at the statue on the altar and realized that Princess Gaia's beauty and serenity were very similar to her. The only difference is that Princess Gaia is still a girl, and her figure is not so convex and concave.

"You sit inside!" Eric whispered.

Gu Shiyu first took a sip of the spring and drank it, and then sat in the pool with him.

The early morning wind and the early morning water make people feel fresh and make the limbs feel extremely comfortable, but after sitting for a long time, they will also ......

"What do you feel?" asked Erik.

"I feel very cold...... "Gu Shiyu's teeth have begun to tremble a little.

"You're such a bastard! Idiot! I haven't seen anyone more stupid than you!" Eric said angrily, "Just sit here and sober until I get you up!"

Alas, Gu Shiyu, can't you say that you feel her broad mind, feel her selfless dedication, feel her compassion, feel her love for the fist? You can't say that you feel the power of the earth?

A trickle of water can converge into a pool, a river, or even a sea, as long as you have a broad mind.

Of course, Gu Shiyu did say his true feelings. Is it wrong to tell the truth? Do you have to sit in the pool and be punished?

What he didn't know, though, was that whatever he answered, Eric would let him sit in the pool. But if he is not satisfied, he will be asked to sit longer.

Of course, the effect of punishment is not all to wake him up from his lethargic state.

A drop of spring water dripped from the statue and fell on the top of Gu Shiyu's head, causing a stirring in his whole body, and then another drop, then two drops......

Could it be that Gaia, the Mother of the Earth, took pity on this unenlightened fool and began to cry?

The water dripping on the top of the head makes people feel empowered at first, but after a long time, it feels like a kind of torture.

Because you have to wait for the next drop of spring water to come. Although it was a gentle drop on the top of the head, it was like a hammer strike in the end!

I heard that there was a kind of criminal law in ancient times, where the victim was tied up in a cave and allowed the water droplets to slowly gather and then fall on top of their heads. After a few days, the inmate will have a nervous breakdown or even go insane.

Pollis, Altyn, and Eufritin, too, got up, and they looked sympathetically at the poor man in the pool.

The Prophet did not know when it also appeared. He was like a ghost, and no one knew when he would appear or when he would leave.

"It's almost time. This kind of baptism should be stopped, and it will not have any more effect after a long time. "Know first.

Eric nodded, and waved Altyn to fish Gu Shiyu out of the pool.

Gu Shiyu was supported by Altyn, and his whole body trembled. Bliss had already brought a blanket and covered him, and Everettin handed Gu Shiyu a jug of gin.

After a few sips of wine, coupled with the effect of the blanket, Gu Shiyu felt a little warmer. He had already figured out how to answer Eric, but Eric didn't ask him again, just said, "Can you start over?"

Gu Shiyu nodded busily. He was afraid that Eric would be angry and send him into the pool to be tortured.

However, after such a long time of baptism, Gu Shiyu felt that his ability to accept new knowledge was much faster. Maybe it's because of the effect of the pool, or maybe it's because I'm afraid of being blamed again, so I concentrated a little......

So the rest of the lecture went very smoothly. Eric's first lesson was the orchestration of the Bankers' Challenge, which was very targeted.

The first 10 levels are Black Werewolf, Lizard Archer, Wolf Rider, Monitor Lizard, Brute Bull, Ogre, Stone Elemental, Cyclops, White Werewolf, and finally Beamon Behemoth or Hydra.

Eric is a knowledgeable expert. His erudition does not begin with the history of martial arts, the classification of martial arts, the necessity and importance of martial arts, or the eighteenth generation of ancestors of these monsters, close relatives, and distant relatives, otherwise he could have talked for a month without eating or drinking. Of course, at the end of the month, his students will all turn into poor mummies. He was just very straightforward about how to defeat them with minimal force and how to effectively avoid their physical and magical damage.

Gu Shiyu's answer also made Eric very satisfied. So he immediately started a second course, magic skills and how to use them.

This kind of content is unique. No one has ever been able to introduce the various types of magic in such a simple way, not only Gu Shiyu, who has just been involved in magic, but also Boris, Altyn and Eufrittin are deeply inspired and benefited.

In the afternoon, there is a practical class. Altyn and Eufritin's two joined forces to attack Gu Shiyu, and at first he was still stumbling, but the more he fought, the more he learned, and in the end he was able to cope with it easily.

In the face of Boris's powerful magic attack, Gu Shiyu did not fall into the disadvantage.

As a result, Eric as a teacher and a prophet played a great role. Although the prophet couldn't see it, he could feel Gu Shiyu's growing power. The prophet clearly knew that Gu Shiyu's potential was like beads of sweat that flowed naturally from his body, gradually volatilizing.

A good teacher is like a sun, a lighthouse, giving people infinite warmth, strength and hope, while a bad teacher is like a cloudy haze, making people even more confused and confused.

Eric felt it too. He whispered to the prophet, "Prophet, we have given him such great power, we will not suffer from him in the future, right?"

The Prophet shook his head and said, "We have no choice. If we don't help him and guide him, he will be seduced by the god of darkness. Fortunately, he was kind in heart, and we guided him on his journey of atonement in time. After so much criticism and tempering, his heart is much stronger, and he should be able to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart. ”

"If he dares to betray the light, I will not hesitate to take his life!"

"I think you should be worried about Sandru now, he's gone further and farther. ”

"Yes, when I'm done with that, I'll have to teach Sandru a lesson!Prophet, how do you think we should break the bankers' machinations in the arena?"

"The medicine they mixed with their drinking water, and York would drink it, so it couldn't be poison, but something like a demonic spell that made people gradually weaken and lose their physical strength and magical powers. York didn't necessarily know about the bankers' conspiracy, but the bankers certainly gave him an antidote beforehand. This shouldn't bother you. ”

"That's what I thought, too. With your suggestion, I feel more sure. I'll give him the antidote before the game starts. ”

"He's not as good as York in terms of experience and skill, except for his physical and magical damage. He's going to get stronger and stronger, and I can feel his strong desire to win. ”

"He is indeed different from ordinary people, ordinary people can't afford to sink after being frustrated, and the more frustrated he is, the more courageous he becomes. ”

"Yes, maybe that's one of the reasons the gods chose him!"

The two of them stood next to them, feeling Gu Shiyu's increasing strength, and they were very relieved.

The doors of the arena opened early in the morning, and the four entrances to the arena were crowded with swarms of citizens. The scalpers shouted in the crowd to sell tickets, and an ordinary ticket, which normally sold for only five gold coins, has now been speculated for fifty gold coins, but their business is still thriving.

By the time tens of thousands of spectators entered, it was almost noon. There are a lot of jugglers in the arena so that the citizens who enter early will not feel too bored.

Bankers and aristocrats also took their seats early, leaving only one row of seats empty in front of the VIP seats. It was the exclusive seat of the five priests, prophets, heads of state, and envoys of the Imperial Council of the Holy Light Island.

Renesa watched from time to time in the civilian seats. The crowd finally burst into an uproar, and some citizens applauded. Renesa noticed a group of people in the VIP table, led by the five members of the Imperial Council, including Boris, Altyn, and Eufritin.

Renesas's heart ached. I was supposed to be with them, but now I had to huddle among the civilians, breathing in the strong smell of sweat and cheap tobacco.

The priest of the abbot athletic ceremony hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Eric, "Your Excellency the High Priest, do you want to say anything to your people?"

"I'm not going to be like them, pretending to mingle with the people, because I'm against reopening the arena in the first place. Eric shook his head and said, "Let's start when you're ready!"

But his voice was a little louder, and the bankers immediately whispered in response: "Well, we don't have to listen to his long, smelly speeches anymore." ”

There was a burst of muffled laughter from the crowd. How could Eric not hear their gossip, so he sat down as if he didn't hear it.

Dozens of ox carts loaded with bread galloped into the arena, and the men of astonishing strength struggled to throw bread over the audience, which naturally caused people to cheer like a tide.

"They're really going to buy people's hearts. A white-robed shaman said.

"Who says it's not? Of the five gold coins for one admission ticket, only 10,000 were sold publicly, and the rest fell into the hands of their agents and were thrown out at several times the price!"

"The apparent income of tickets is only 400,000 gold coins, and the taxes paid are only 40,000, but their actual ticket income has exceeded 2 million!"

"This is actually tax evasion, it is completely a crime!"

"Alas, but people are still praising their merits, how sad!"

No one's whispers could escape Eric's ears. He's made up his mind to take action against the bankers! After the tournament, the Isle of Light will face an unprecedented storm!

When the wooden pole erected in the middle of the venue was facing the sun in the middle of the sky, and no shadow was reappeared, dozens of musicians blew the horns in their hands.

The long-awaited competition is finally about to begin! The audience erupted in a tsunami of cheers.
