Chapter 247: Teaching
Before knowing Edge's identity, Richie guessed countless possible outcomes. He had thought that Edge was someone from other forces, but he had in mind the iron-blooded forces led by Fermez to the north, not the new royal forces that had just risen.
Richie was surprised to hear Edge confidently say that he was the man of the new royal power, and that he had offered to submit himself to him, so he provided himself with strength.
In any case, the new royal forces are all new forces, and even if they can be called one of the four major forces of the empire, there are still many problems to deal with. It will take a lot of time and energy to consolidate the foundation, eliminate the small rebel forces in the surrounding areas, and so on. But now, the new royal forces have actually set their sights on the united forces of the rebel army, isn't it a bit too ambitious?
"As far as I know, the new royal power is just rising, and it is rising in the west and the sea, and I think in the inland side...... Shouldn't it be very powerful?"
"I don't mean to offend, I'm just thinking about my own interests. I don't think the name of the new royal power alone is enough for me to recognize. Richie looked at Edge, responding to Edge's offer.
The result of the rejection was within Edge's expectations, after all, this is inland, close to the middle, and the reputation of the new royal power has not yet really affected here, and it is normal for Richie to have concerns.
However, since he had already spread out his words, Edge would no longer be 'polite', and continued to say to Richie: "Since I have told you who I am, then I can tell you unequivocally, whether you choose to be subsumed under my new royal power, or choose to set up a separate door, when my new royal power enters the interior and conquers the whole country, I will not be relentless." ”
"This land will be led by the new royal forces!"
"If you choose to be part of our new royal power, then we can reduce the bloodshed. ”
"Anyway, we share a common goal, and that's a great basis for us to work together. Edge spoke to Richie, becoming more and more aggressive.
Richie looked at Edge, silently thinking. If he had to choose which faction to belong to, the new royal forces were not the best choice, and the iron-blooded forces in the north were the best choice. Edge didn't give a reason that was absolutely reassuring and tempting, and he couldn't give Edge an answer at this time.
"I'm curious, you don't even know what kind of power I have to talk to me about these things, isn't it a bit ......"
"It's okay, if you don't have some foundation, you won't rescue Ladd, I don't think just a kind person would risk his life to save someone he doesn't know, let alone a resident of the West End. Edge looked at Richie with great confidence.
Richie was stunned, and looked at Edge, who was smiling confidently, a little speechless. This guy always had an incredible feeling, and he wanted to know what made Edge so confident. Looking at Agee like this, he slowly shook a little, and almost believed Edge. But reason still made him not follow his feelings, and put aside topics such as submission for the time being.
Although Richie did not give an answer, Edge was willing to help him solve the problem of Balpo. For a man like Balbo, Agi didn't have a good impression of him. Getting rid of him as soon as possible would also be a relief for the people of Jefilol City, especially those in the West End.
This can also be regarded as an opportunity to show his ability in front of Richie, and let him know that there are many talents in the new royal family, and it is definitely the right choice to belong to the new royal family. What's more, the person who leads the new royal family is Bailey, although the royal family now exists in name only, but the bloodline is an indelible mark.
Bailey has royal blood, is more authoritative and holy, and the legendary side will also lean towards her.
Richie was pleased that Edge was willing to help him deal with Balbo, and he had seen Edge's strength. If it was Age, it would be no problem to assassinate Balpo.
However, it is not a wise choice to kill Balpo right now. After some understanding, Aggie also learned about Ballpo's past. He firmly believed that Balpo had been affected by something, otherwise it would be impossible for a good person to change at the same time, or to change his surname and personality to become the complete opposite.
Maybe...... Edge guessed that there was someone else behind Balpo.
For this reason, Edge decides to secretly investigate Balpo to see if he really has a hidden secret. One of Edge's biggest concerns was his ability to control the dark element. How could an ordinary person control the dark element and make it explode?
Ordinary people think that Ballbona is a gift from the gods and has a different kind of divine power. But the perceptive Agico saw it all clearly. It is the turn of the forces of darkness, and I believe that no one is more familiar with them than Age, who deals with the forces of darkness every day.
Rich has to deal with the rebels sent by Ballpo to hunt down the rebels, and he doesn't have much time to investigate Ballpo. Moreover, even if he had time, he was not much sure in the face of Balpo's terrifying strength, and if he was discovered, he might be killed. For this reason, the matter of secretly investigating Ballpo fell to Age, and Age did not refuse this, and immediately went to investigate Ballpo's affairs.
It's just that it's been a busy day today, and it's not a small amount of things that have happened, from disrupting Ballpo's baptism ceremony to talking to Rich. It was already approaching evening, and Edge planned to rest for the time being.
Richie arranged for Edge's room to rest, much to Edge's satisfaction. And Ladd and Carol and the children also have a place to live, but of course this is only temporary, and Richie is not so kind to take Ladd and them forever.
So the best way to deal with Ladd's safe haven is to take out Balpo.
After parting with Richie, Edge plans to go to the courtyard to blow the evening breeze and calm down and think about something. What he didn't expect was to meet Ladd in the courtyard, where he was still walking and punching, as if he was training. Saying that he was seen in the courtyard during the day, and he was doing the same, for a moment Edge's was a little puzzled.
"What are you doing, Rad?" asked Edge, approaching Rad.
When Ladd saw that it was Age, he immediately knelt down to express his endless gratitude to Edge. Not only did Edge save him, but she also saved Carol. He really doesn't know how to repay this kindness. He had no money and no ability, and he felt very small in front of Age, and blamed himself for being useless.
He spends his days and nights swinging his fists in the courtyard to strengthen his physical abilities and protect himself and those around him in the next crisis.
After learning about Ladd's intentions, Aggie told him not to care so much about being saved, and he didn't need how Ladd could repay him, as long as Ladd lived well. Not only that, but when he saw that Rad wanted to pursue power so much, he couldn't help but think of himself in the first place. At the beginning, he was also bent on pursuing power, and during his time in Caanster City, almost all his actions were to strengthen himself.
Seeing the people around him being hurt and unable to protect him, that kind of helplessness, unwillingness and remorse, Aggie knows better than anyone else. Seeing that Ladd was also such a person, he was infected and had the intention of teaching Ladd some combat skills.
"Rad, if you have the chance to learn a little bit of combat skills, do you need martial arts or magic?" asked Edge, looking at Rad.
Although Ladd didn't know why he suddenly asked that, he still confessed, "I prefer martial arts." ”
"I'm an active person, and I was like that when I was a kid, I liked to run around the streets of the city, and I was called ...... Mouse...... So if it's magic, I don't think I'm used to it. ”
"Of course......" Ladd suddenly lowered his head, becoming embarrassed, and said, "I don't know anything about martial arts and magic, I only judge it based on the martial arts and magic I usually see others performing. I'm not sure what I'm a good fit for, because ...... I didn't have a chance to learn the art of war. ”
As he spoke, Ladd's tone became a little bitter, as if he was lamenting his humble life.
Seeing Ladd like this, Edge knew that his determination to learn combat skills was extremely strong. At this moment, Aegie made up his mind to help Ladd again and teach him some combat skills.
Although he had only been with Ladd for a short time, Aegie had observed that Ladd was a man of cleverness, agility, and quick reflexes, and that such a person could exert great power if he used a light and sharp weapon. If anything, it's an assassin.
"Lad, how about I teach you some combat skills? Aegie said, looking at Ladd.
Rad was stunned and looked at Edge for a long time without reacting.
"Why, you don't want to ......"
"No, Brother Edge, I do, of course I do!" said Ladd, who fell to his knees again in excitement, and his gratitude to Edges was indescribable.
Edge smiled lightly, it was not a bad thing to raise a person in Yefilol City. What's more, Rad has a good heart and a firm determination. If he is really a useful talent, after he becomes strong, it will also be a good strength for the development of the new royal family in the future.
Teaching Ladd's combat skills, Aegie can be regarded as teaching according to his aptitude. He himself knows the art of blades, and this is the only thing he can teach Ladd. And Rad is fast, and it is indeed suitable for learning blade combat skills. Importantly, he wants to train Rad to be an assassin-like being, so that Rad can be active in the darkness and be responsible for gathering all kinds of information.
Another point is to kill people in secret.
Edge didn't think he was using Rad, and Ladd agreed to him. It should be said that Rad is willing to obey Age's arrangement in everything, and now Edge's is a 'god' who has given him a new life. He had already decided to give his life to Edge, and if Age made him an Assassin, he became an Assassin.
Believing in Rad's loyalty and Rad's determination, Edge immediately taught Rad the basic techniques and moves of blade martial arts, and asked Rad to start training at those paces.
Rad was extremely excited about this and couldn't wait to start training.
Seeing Ladd devote himself to training, Aiji sighed slightly, he didn't expect that he would come to this point and actually teach others martial arts. But that's fine, as long as it's the right thing, there's no need to sigh.
