Chapter 8 Pushing the Boat with the Current
"That's what you're packing?" Thor looked a little glazed. [Full text reading]
"yes. An Fei smiled shyly, the things he packed up were indeed too simple, two white-washed clothes, a few packets of dried fish, a wooden stick made of twigs, no magic fluctuations at all, but the shape of the wooden stick looked like a magic wand, and there was even a crab lying on An Fei's shoulder, leisurely spitting bubbles.
"As a great magician, Yagor's collection won't be so small, right?" asked Thor with a smile.
"That's the teacher's collection, not mine. An Fei replied.
"But Agore is gone forever, and you are his only student, and I think you are entitled to Yagor's collection. ”
"No, it's different!" An Fei replied stubbornly: "The teacher is lonely and left on the desert island, let those collections accompany the teacher to sleep forever, I believe that as long as I am willing to endure hardships, my achievements will not be under the teacher in the future." ”
It's rare! It's rare! What a piece of pure jade! Sol sighed from the bottom of his heart, although he didn't know what the qualifications of this young man were, but in terms of his heart, he could simply say that he was one in a hundred, no! It was one in a million! Lucky Yagor actually accepted such a student on his deathbed, which made Sol extremely envious.
"But have you thought about it? Agoor has passed away, and the magic circle on the desert island has long ceased to function, if someone else discovers that desert island, do you think they will leave all those collectibles like you?" Ernest said lightly.
Fei was stunned, showing a look of annoyance: What should I do?
"You don't have to worry, I didn't bring magic crystals this time, and when I go back, I'll bring some magic crystals and come back again, and set up the magic array, so that no one will disturb Yagor's long sleep." Thor said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Thor!" An Fei said with a sincere face.
"You're welcome, kid. Thor's gaze fell on the crab on An Fei's shoulder: "Is this your magic pet?" Thor thought that the crab was An Fei's magic beast, but his eyes swept and found that the crab did not have a trace of magic fluctuations, just an ordinary crab.
"Yes, it's called Yoyo, and in the past few years on the desert island, Yoyo has been with me, and I am reluctant to leave it on the desert island. An Fei laughed.
"How many years have you been on a desert island by yourself?" Thor wanted to ask how many years Yagor had been dead, but later he was afraid of causing An Fei to be sad, so he asked instead.
Fei thought about it seriously: "It's been almost three years. ”
"Three years" Thor sighed a little, for ordinary teenagers, these three years are the most precious stage of life, whether it is learning magic, or learning swordsmanship, or learning a craft, how much development can be done in the future, it depends on what kind of foundation has been laid in the past few years, and An Fei is obviously wasting the most precious time!
"Alright, Anfei, you go and rest, your room is on the second floor below, and someone will show you the way when you go down. Ernest continued.
"yes, I see. An Fei smiled: "Master Thor, Uncle Ernest, you also need to rest early." With that, An Fei walked down deck.
Ernest watched An Fei's back disappear below the deck, and suddenly said, "It's a pity." ”
"What a pity?"
"If I had met him a few years earlier, I would have tried to find a way to take him as my student. Ernest shook his head: "If he only starts cultivating sword skills now, his future achievements will be extremely limited. ”
"Don't forget, he is a magic apprentice and a student of Yagor!" In fact, he also had the idea of accepting An Fei as a student, but he was worried that An Fei had become a student of Yagor, and An Fei was very loyal to Yagor, if he explained the matter, he was afraid of being politely rejected by An Fei, then his face would be a little unbearable, after all, he was a great magician, which young man in the pan-continent did not want to be his student? That's why Thor temporarily suppressed his thoughts, and at this moment, hearing Ernest's words, Thor seemed a little unhappy.
"What? do you want to take him as a student too?" Ernest smiled.
"This kid's character is really rare. Saul hesitated: "The problem is, he and Yagor"
"He's just Yagor's experiment, there is no teacher-student friendship between the two, Anfei is still young now, he doesn't know that life is sinister, when he grows up, and then thinks about how much he almost became an experiment, he won't miss Yagor much anymore. Ernest said: "Then again, you want to accept students, not find a wife, is it necessary to care so much? ”
Thor smiled bitterly, "You can't say that."
"What do you mean then?" Ernest pouted, "If you're afraid of losing face, I can ask you a question." ”
"Isn't it okay?" Thor said hesitantly, "Anfei and we have only known each other for a day, can you believe us?" Ernest's words hit Thor right in his heart, and it was a good idea to let Ernest ask, and it was good to be successful, and Thor was not ashamed if he didn't do it.
"Okay, if you don't say it, I won't ask, and it will save me trouble. ”
"You kid," Thor laughed angrily.
"Don't beat around the bush with me, let's be clear, do you want to accept An Fei as your student?"
Er honestly said that after dating Ernest for so many years, he knows Ernest character too well, on the surface, Ernest is a stoic, strong, and very indifferent person, in fact, Ernest's personality is very tricky and eccentric, often making some old friends cry and laugh, in order to accept a good student, it is not impossible to bow his head in front of Ernest.
"Isn't this the end of it?" Ernest smiled with satisfaction: "Thor, I find that the more you get old, the more you have more worries, and the less daring you become, but you just want to deal with Yagor, and if you force me to come all the way to be a helper, are you so afraid of Yagor?"
"I'm not afraid of Yagor, and Yagor is not afraid of me, but we don't want to bump into each other-for-tat. Thor sighed: "There are too many unexpected factors in the duel between magicians, and a subtle, unpredictable change is enough to make the scales irreversibly tilted, I am not like you are alone and unconcerned Saying here quickly shut his mouth, he realized that he had inadvertently said that Ernest was in pain.
"Then you're going to ask me to be a helper?" Ernest smiled faintly, "Are you violating the rules of fairness and justice by doing this?"
"I'm not a knight, and I never want to be. Thor's smile was a little cold: "Ernest, you keep saying that An Fei doesn't know that life is sinister, but what about you? Do you still believe in the principles of fairness and justice? Have you forgotten what happened to you before? Yagor has a withdrawn personality and likes to be alone, and there is no helper to find, otherwise he would have found someone to deal with me a long time ago!"
Ernest was silent, after he became the Great Swordsman, in order to find a breakthrough, he repeatedly challenged the rest of the Great Swordsmen, but once fell into a trap and was besieged by several people, two of whom were the Great Swordsmen he had defeated, although he narrowly escaped alive that time, but he was wounded for two years, and all five of his students died in the Torrebitz Mountain. What made Ernest feel even more depressed was that the other party had made sufficient preparations, and after the battle, he spread rumors everywhere, saying that Ernest was a great swordsman in vain, and he actually smeared poison on the sword, and plotted against Gerofik, and the rest of the great swordsmen who watched the battle shot together to save Gerofik, and Jerofik was his opponent in that battle.
Of course, Gerofik was indeed wounded by the sword, and the wound was indeed poisonous, and the two sides argued endlessly, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, but the strength that several great swordsmen could unite was far greater than Ernest, and Ernest lost in the debate battle, and lost very badly, and in the end he became a street rat that everyone shouted at and a coward who made people laugh!
Since then, Ernest is no longer a pure swordsman, and his perception of life has been enriched a lot.
For a strong man who has reached the pinnacle of life, sometimes reputation is more important than life, so Gerofik would rather risk himself to cut himself with a poisonous sword than avoid a fair duel with Ernest, of course, Gerofik paid a heavy price, with such a knot, he has no possibility of breaking through in his life!
Thor saw that Ernest's face was full of loneliness, and knew that his words were a little heavy, so he slowed down and changed the topic: "Ernest, I found that you are very enthusiastic about Anfei, why?"
"I saw a shadow of my former self in him, and I wanted to find a strong, safe lean on him. Ernest said lightly.
"You can take him as your student, let's play fair once and see who can get his favor first. Saul said jokingly.
"I can't, I have too many enemies to count, and you are not only the court master, but also the dean of the Academy of Magic, powerful and status, it is the best choice for him to follow you. ”
Are you sarcastic about me?" Thor smiled wryly again.
"No, I'm just stating a fact. ”
At the same time, the 'good boy' An Fei was sitting on his bed, idle and bored, fiddling with the small fireball in his hand.
It is a good thing and a sad good thing for a person to hide his own nature and face the world with an improvisational attitude! An Fei is like this, since he became an assassin, he has forgotten his own nature, he is always able to improvise, today he plays a stupid young man, tomorrow he plays a calm and successful person, and the day after tomorrow he becomes a nouveau riche who is dirty and scum, and as a result, he forgets what he is!
Fortunately, An Fei will never violate the established principle, no matter how big the temptation is, no matter how big the benefits, he will never kill people who don't deserve to die! The principle is An Fei's guiding light in a confused life, and it is precisely because of this that he can still maintain a glimmer of kindness when his hands are covered with blood.
Amphi is cheating on Thor and Ernest, but it's not malicious deception, he's just trying to protect himself. Although the contact time is not long, Anfei has judged from all kinds of signs that Saul and Ernest are good people, and when it comes to the collection left by Yagor, there is no trace of greed in the eyes of the two people, which is commendable! And from the eyes of Saul and Ernest, Anfei understands the concern, unless the other party is better able to act than himself, but from another point of view, he is just a penniless and useless stupid boy, and there is no need for the other party to act with him, so Anfei believes in his own judgment.
Is it to continue to win the favor of the other party, after all, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree? Or go to the shore and go your separate ways? An Fei is a little undecided, from now on, he already owes Saul and Ernest a piece of affection, but An Fei is not used to owing others something, always have something in return, the problem is that he still wears an innocent and simple mask, what can he help the other party in such a situation?
With An Fei's breathing, the burning flame in his hand sometimes shrinks like a spinning ball, sometimes unfolds like a blooming lotus, there has never been a magic apprentice in the world who has cultivated a small fireball for more than a few years, there are countless powerful and gorgeous magics waiting for them to cultivate, such as fire, earth, water, electricity, space, darkness, undead, etc., there are countless powerful and gorgeous effects waiting for them to cultivate, why waste energy on a lowest-level magic?
In fact, An Fei only learned magic with the attitude of following the local customs, he didn't want to waste too much energy on magic, in comparison, he believed that his breathing and breathing techniques could greatly adjust the basic energy of the human body, and deliberately operating the fire element was just a game when he was bored, and An Fei thought that his real life-saving capital had nothing to do with magic.
