Chapter 9: The Future

"What ...... me," Vasily was silent for a moment, "I've enjoyed it, but now, I'm just a fugitive." ”

"That is, you lost to someone else, so you were discouraged?"

"Child, you are still young and do not know how many irresistible forces exist in the world. Vasily sighed lightly: "Moreover, it is not me who is discouraged, but the gray hair on my head and the hands with old age spots." ”

"Age isn't everything. Theo said.

"At least it means that my strength is starting to fade. Vasily snorted: "For example, the Moon Shadow Empire's Emperor Tu Ming, he has ruled the Moon Shadow Empire for more than eight hundred years, but his appearance is still very young, which proves that his power is always on the rise, and I, am just a person who has been eliminated." ”

After speaking, Vasily noticed that Dio's expression was a little strange, and asked sideways, "You have also heard of Emperor Jundiming?"

"How could I not have heard of it. Dio replied slowly.

"Okay, Master Theo, I confessed so much, should you also repay me?" Vasily said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you any more questions that you don't want to answer." Well...... In fact, what I'm most curious about is, why don't you want to make yourself a gifted warrior? I've been observing you for the past two days, you, like me, have been awakened by the wind source power, and you have surpassed the talent warrior in the skill of controlling the source force, and the storage of the source force has reached an amazing level, so I really don't understand, why is this?"

"Last night, you weren't here. Dio replied.

"How do you know?" Vasily was stunned.

"If you were here last night, you wouldn't touch that glass of milk. A smile flashed in Dio's eyes.

Vasily looked at the milk, then at Dio, and then suddenly realized: "Young Master Dior, I have found ...... You're very good at distracting people, stop talking about damn milk now, tell me, why don't you want to be a real samurai?"

Dio was silent for a long time: "I won't. ”

"What?" Vasily asked, perhaps not inaudible, or perhaps inaudible, but not sure.

"I won't, no one has ever taught me. ”

"Hehe......" Vasily laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke, laughed for a while, looked at Dio, and began to laugh again.

"I really won't. ”

"I accept your explanation. Vasily nodded: "Okay, now it's time to go and prepare lunch for our young master Theo, what do you want to eat?"

Dio showed a stunned look for the first time, what did he mean? Could it be that the other party really wanted to be a chef in the manor?

"It's been a long time since we've talked to people so much, and I think we'll have a lot of topics in the future. Vasily stood up, looked at Dio's face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't be long before I leave on my own, after all, I am a fugitive, and I can't affect you." ”

When Roy walked into Dio's room and saw that the table was full of various dishes, he exclaimed to Vasily in surprise and delight: "Vasily, you made all this? Haha, you are amazing!"

"Do you think it's possible? There's not even a kitchen in the yard, so what do you want me to do with it?" said Vasily, sitting generously on his chair.

Roy was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly glanced at Vasily, it's too rude, did the young master let you sit?!

Vasily pretended not to see Roy's hints, and the knife and fork in his hand slammed rhythmically lightly, his eyes swept over the table, as if looking for a target.

Roy coughed dryly, and just as he wanted to speak, Dio had already spoken first: "Roy, you can sit down too." ”

"Me?" Roy was a little uneasy, hesitated for a moment, but walked to the table and sat down cautiously: "Vasily, you didn't do this......?

"I just went to Pile Tower. Vasily said: "I bought these there." ”

"Don't joke in front of the young master. Roy said: "Duita Town is almost more than a hundred miles away from here, you ...... Oh my God, you didn't steal it from the storeroom, did you, you're crazy?!"

Dio looked up and glanced at Roy, and Vasily didn't bother to pay attention to Roy and had already started eating.

Roy felt that Dio's eyes were different, and he stopped talking, but he kept comforting himself in his heart, forget it, steal it, steal it, anyway...... The young master doesn't seem to want to continue to disguise, sooner or later.

Although the dishes on the table were sumptuous, Roy had no appetite at all, and the pressure in his heart was too great to make him restless, and after only more than ten minutes, he hurriedly retired.

"Do you have any ideas for your future?" Vasily said suddenly.

"Future?"

"Hmm. Vasily raised his knife and pointed to the door: "Would you like to live like him, every day so cautiously?"

"You can't blame Roy, he's just trying to protect himself and his family. Dio said slowly, "Who wants to live in fear every day? ”

"Cruel? Do you really understand what that word means?"

"Hmm. Theo paused: "Last night, I killed two gifted warriors, although they had a reason to die...... But after all, it was two living beings, and the day before yesterday, Tomble, and I had been waiting for someone to question me, but now, nothing had happened, and it seemed that they had been forgotten. ”

"Last night?" Vasily smiled, "It seems that I missed a lot of wonderful things last night." ”

"Where did you go yesterday?" asked Theo.

"Yesterday I heard that there was a small group of thieves in the depths of the wilderness, so I went to look for them. ”

"Eliminate violence?" said Dio's eyes filled with a smile.

"You can understand it this way, I don't have anything against it. Vasily also smiled: "Actually, I am running out of money, I have to find a way to earn some, and besides, I want to try it too." ”

"Try what?"

"Can you hit their nose bones in their heads? Vasily said, "But I can't do it." ”

"It's just a simple little trick that you try a few more times and you're good to go. Dio laughed.

"Forget it, I don't have that energy. Vasily said: "Let's talk about your future." ”

"Future. Dio's smile faded, and after a long time, he said softly, "I am going to go out on my own after a while, increase my experience, and learn more." ”

"It's not me who discourages your faith. Vasily slowly put the cutlery on the table: "Now go out, you will not face much better existential anxiety than Roy." ”

"I have the ability to deal with it. ”

"Why are you?" said Vasily with a smile, "with the gloom and forbearance you have shown me? do you really think that an awakened person can overcome one difficulty after another?"

"I can't be an awakened person all the time. ”

"That's right. Vasily stood up: "When you really become a gifted warrior, you will understand the difference between a gifted warrior and an awakened one, and then you will also understand the difference between a radiant warrior and a gifted warrior! Miss Sophia is only the fifth heir in the barony, and she is an ostracized heir, don't use the strength of Sophia's guards to measure the powerhouses in this world, not to mention, her father is just a baron, and there are counts above, The duke, and the duke, there are so many people you need to look up to, let's go, let's go into the wilderness. ”

"Into the wilderness?"

"It's where there's no shelter that you can appreciate the power of the wind, the real power. ”

"You ......" Theo was stunned for a long time before he whispered, "You want to teach me to become a gifted warrior?" Although this desire had been pressed in his heart for a long time, he always tried to control his emotional turmoil.

"You guessed it. Vasily nodded.

"Why?"

"Why? huh...... Interesting. Vasily's eyes showed a look of cruelty: "Young Master Dio, do you think that the bond between people must be maintained by interests and benefits, and I am willing to help you today, just to get something from you in the future?"

"I ......" Dio couldn't help but smile wryly, is it necessary to say it so bluntly?

"You seem to be wary of everything, and you can't trust anyone without giving you a good reason, right?" Vasily paused: "Let's put it this way, I don't have much time, so I want to do as much as I can to make others miss me, or, let others hate me, at least, these are the traces of my existence." ”

Dio's heart trembled, and he heard a kind of taste that people are dying and their words are good, and birds are dying and their songs are mourning.

"Let's go. Vasily walked slowly out.

It only took Roy a few minutes to get a carriage for Theo, and it seemed that the death of the two gifted warriors and the disappearance of Tomble had no effect, and the manor was still peaceful. And Brigitte's attitude is interesting, as the steward of the manor, if she really wants to take the opportunity to make a big fuss, Dio will never be so easy, although it is unlikely to put Dio to death, after all, there is a real young lady above, but trouble is always indispensable.

Out of the manor all the way to the east, there is an endless wasteland, and close to the manor, there are only about thousands of acres of wheat fields, and the reclamation rate of the wasteland is less than one percent, which reflects what kind of experience and status Miss Sophia's father has.

This nobleman who stood out from the baronial class and owned his own territory will not have more than ten years to develop, otherwise this wasteland should have been converted into a wheat field, and secondly, his relationship with his top boss, the county lord is not too close, although the wasteland can be turned into a wheat field, but the yield is not satisfactory, as the saying goes, wildfires are inexhaustible, The spring breeze blows and grows, and most of the weeds that can grow on this wasteland are very tenacious, which greatly affects the yield of wheat, and it is estimated that it is not even a third of the yield compared to the good fertile fields, and if Sophia's father was a member of the inner circle of the county lords, he would not be assigned to such a barren place.
