Chapter 40: My Future Is Not a Dream

As the sun sets, night is approaching! The afterglow of the slanting sun in the forest shines through the gaps between the leaves, mottled and scattered on the bodies of the three people.

The monsoon along the coast brings enough rainfall to make the environment full of life and vitality, and the crustal movement that has been active since the mythological period has also created the landscape of this generation of mountains and hills, so the closer you get to the outer ring, the magic element here is relatively more balanced, and the magic becomes more gentle and easy to absorb.

At this time, the group of three had already come from the Fifth Ring Domain to the Sixth Ring Domain. And now it is February 13, 18013 in the Magic Imperial calendar, and the group of three people, even with the help of the hump bird, walked for nearly a month before crossing the Five Rings.

Along the way, the closer they got to the outer area of the human circle, the more people they encountered, and the more obvious the traces of human transformation of nature, many of the trees along the road were cut down and only wooden stakes remained, and then these wooden stakes became natural camping tables.

The so-called outer circle here refers to the pure territory of the Terran race, and it is also the place where the ancestors of the Terran first landed on the Western Continent under the guidance of the gods together with the ancestors of the alien race in the era of the big city-state.

The establishment process of each area outside the circle is a long history, witnessing the rise and fall and changes of each period. Since the establishment of the Magic Empire, it has only been attacked once by the undead 10,000 years ago.

Nowadays, in the outer area of the Western Continent, it is the Heisenberg family, the Feynman family, and the Bohr family, that are the three most powerful magic families.

Of course, the influence of the civilian government in it is not much inferior, after all, the golden age of the Nine Magical Families has passed 3,000 years ago, and the current Nine Magical Families are more like the transnational chaebols of Edison's previous life.

......

Walking and walking. The night swallowed up the last rays of sunlight on the horizon, and Edison said, "Okay! I'll rest here for the night today." For dinner, let's follow the old rules!"

As soon as the words were finished. The youngest, Carrick Ryan Aland, had already sprang out and began to search the nearby jungle for something to eat, while Salted Fish followed Edison at his beckoning to prevent any accidents.

And the old rule is: everyone has to go out hunting on their own, and then bring back whatever they eat. Originally, there was no such rule, but since there was more Ryan in the team, there has been this rule.

This is not Edison's intention to make things difficult, but ......

When I first left Peak Hump City. Because normal human trafficking is a forbidden relationship, Edison bought Ryan. He followed Edison as the caretaker of the ostriche, which is actually similar to the knight servant in the Middle Ages, and the money to buy Ryan is naturally not the money to buy a body, nominally this is called - settling-in fee!

So when Ryan was brought to Edison with a dazed expression, his heart was filled with fear as he looked at the familiar faces of the two men and looked at him with a smile on his face.

But in the end, Ryan still asked in as calm a voice as possible, "My lord, why did you buy me, is it just to avenge my disrespect to you yesterday?"

The salted fish on the side was about to step forward to explain something, but was stopped by Edison's look. Then Edison deliberately used a slightly flirtatious tone, like some gentleman, and said, "What if I say that's what it is?"

As a result, Ryan didn't think about it, so he knelt down. While kowtowing, he still muttered in his mouth: "This adult, you don't care about villains." For the sake of my young age, go around me!"

"And I can do a lot of things, if you are worried about money. I also know where my uncle hid his money...... As long as you kill him, ......"

Edison listened to Ryan's words and watched him act so shamelessly. It's not like the cunning and ruthlessness of a 7-year-old child at all, and it's also a shock to the body.

The child's hand in the words of the hand is to lead the way to the east, and the effort to invite the king into the urn is simply amazing, although now because of his young age, his eloquence still seems a little immature, but it is indeed a talent that can be made! And as soon as the child opened his mouth, he said that he was disrespectful and not deceitful, and then he knelt down and kowtowed, and told the set of things about his uncle.

If Edison is really the so-called gentleman, this set will be greatly satisfied, and if he really does what he says, then the two tigers will be injured, no matter what the final result is, he will have to earn!

It's a pity that Edison is not the kind of person he thinks, so Ryan talked for a long time and raised his head, but he still didn't see a satisfied smile on Edison's face, but that look was like a hunter's relieved smile after seeing his favorite prey and being caught by himself.

"This master can't be Gay, right?" Thinking of this, Ryan Chrysanthemum shuddered and lowered her head even more.

If he let Edison know what he was thinking now, Edison would have to let him peel off his skin, but now! Edison said with a smile: "Little guy, you don't have to pretend to be pitiful, I spent a lot of money to buy you and the ostriches behind you, but not to take revenge on you, otherwise I will throw out 10 gold coins and spend money to hire people to trouble you, you are better than dead!"

"Also, you play this trick well, but it also depends on the person, do you think I will be used as a knife by you? If you do things for me wholeheartedly in the future, I will spare you!"

After hearing this, Ryan's body trembled and he knelt lower.

Without waiting for him to answer anything, a magic contract similar to that of Salted Fish when he sold himself was put on Ryan, and then Edison instructed Salted Fish: "You are responsible for reading it to him, and when the time comes, except for the Witness column where my name is written, this person will be under your control." ”

"If you have any questions, I'll come back later!" Edison turned around and went out to practice his warrior skills.

And when he returned from being a man, after taking a bath, Edison saw Ryan standing in front of him with some trepidation, and asked tremblingly, "My lord, can I ask you a question?"

Edison waved his hand. "Say!" Also, don't tremble your voice. Speak louder!"

Ryan was still young after all, and he was stimulated by Edison like this. So he plucked up the courage to ask aloud, "I...... Can you take control of your future?"

Hearing this, Edison looked at his longing eyes, felt Ryan's uneasiness and expectation from his soul, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "This question can only be answered by yourself, but I can make you stronger and give you a chance, as long as you are willing to pay your loyalty to me!"

......

Later, after a qualification test that should have been done at the age of 5, Edison was pleasantly surprised. Ryan turned out to have poor magical qualifications.

So, in the days that followed, the old rules became a way to train Ryan.

After all, now between the Fifth Ring Domain and the Sixth Ring Domain, theoretically there will not even be wild Level 1 Warcraft here, which is just right for a novice like Ryan to conduct basic warrior training. At the same time, he was taught some simple survival skills in the wild.

And the reason why the salted fish will follow is just in case, after all, the closer you are to a crowded place, the danger often comes from the crowd rather than the beast.

An hour later, around 7 p.m. Ryan came back with a mountain cooster and two gray pigeons, and at the same time he did not forget to hold a "strong bone grass" in his hand; compared to half a month ago, when the rules were first enforced, Ryan couldn't catch prey all night. In the end, he can only dig up some wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger! His progress is now visible to the naked eye.

In this regard, Edison did not hesitate to praise himself: "Well, yes, it seems that I didn't teach you in vain." The Botanical Illustrated Book is very old, and now these things are taken care of. I'll start burning!"

At this time, the camp where the group originally settled. The Mage's Hand, which had been controlled by Edison, set up a camping tent and set up the tools for barbecue and cooking.

Soon, salted fish with a pile full of firewood also returned to the camp.

Only Ryan looked at the neatly placed fish and a hill boar on the other side, and threw down the prey in his hand with some unconvinced, and began to pick up his dagger angrily, and honestly cleaned up the internal organs.

......

As the night grew darker, beside a bonfire, the three of them sat together after eating and drinking, quietly looking up at the brilliant galaxy! On the other side, the three ostriches were lying quietly in the makeshift grass nest and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly, Ryan was the first to come back to his senses, got up and said, "Eat and drink, are we going to start practicing?"

But this time, Salted Fish, who should have been the most active, and Edison, who should have been strict with him, have no voice!

This made Ryan ask again a little strangely, "What's wrong with you today, you don't talk anymore?"

After a long time, Salted Fish spoke first: "Ryan, how long has it taken you since you started training as a warrior?"

Ryan thought for a moment and replied, "It's been almost a month since January 15th!"

Then Xianyu asked, "Do you know how long it takes for ordinary people to become first-class mortal warriors from the beginning of warrior training?"

Ryan said with some uncertainty: "A month...... No, half a year?"

Salted fish took a breath and said: "It's at least half a year, generally one to two years, and even longer for those with poor qualifications...... You can't become a qualified mortal warrior!"

At this time, Edison said: "But after completing the training yesterday, after your Uncle Salted Fish used his magic power to probe, he found that you have now reached the standard, and you can take the first step from an ordinary person to a mortal warrior - open your muscles and bones!"

Hearing this, Ryan's eyes lit up with excitement, and he asked happily, "Doesn't that mean that I'm a genius?"

Salted fish said: "It is indeed a genius, although there is also a relationship between the age and complete development of the age you started learning and the development is in it, but you still can't deny your qualifications!"

"So what are you waiting for, let's get started!" Ryan said in a hurried voice.

Edison scolded with a smile: "What are you anxious about, let's say it first, it's a very painful thing to open your muscles and bones, I was lucky back then, my father soaked me in medicinal herbs for a year, and it alleviated the pain of me passing the first level, but you have only practiced it for a month now, and I haven't had time to let you absorb many medicinal materials through food." ”

"So if you want to open your muscles and bones, you have to take strong drugs and stimulate your potential with external forces, this will be a very painful process, maybe you will die on this, have you really thought about it? or are you planning to spend some time?"

Ryan was silent for a moment, and soon after, he looked up and asked, "How did Uncle Salted Fish come over back then?"

When Xianyu heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "You say me? This can't be used as a reference, although I was not as qualified as you back then, but I was lucky, I ate ambergris, and others said that it hurt to open my muscles and bones, and I felt like taking a bath!"

After hearing this, Ryan's face turned embarrassed, and he said silently: "You are showing off!

He hesitated for a moment before he said, "Then if I spend half a year or a year, can I choose to open my muscles and bones?"

Edison said lightly: "Of course you can, but you have to think about it, although your qualifications are good, but you started two years later than others, if you can break through to the 3rd level mortal warrior before you become an adult, and every time you have one more level after that, then your chances of becoming a ninth-order demon warrior in the future will be at least 10% greater." ”

"The opportunity is in your hands, it depends on how you choose, to be safe, even if you delay for a year, the probability of breaking through the third level is very high...... I agree with whatever you choose. Saying that, Edison got up slowly and began to play [Demon Martial Taiji] slowly.

Half an hour later, Ryan made his choice.

......

I know my future is not a dream,

I live every minute seriously.

My future is not a dream,

My heart is moving with hope.

...... (To be continued.) )
