Chapter 2: Running Away and Waiting
Syro was indeed a mongrel, a mongrel with a somewhat outright messed up bloodline. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
His mother was not of noble birth or Babylonian, but a Greek woman whose father had returned from capture in Troy during the Battle of the Gulf sixteen years earlier.
Therefore, the Count of Mance did not recognize his existence, and his brothers and sisters, and even the guards of the House of Mance looked at him with a strange gaze!
Therefore, even as a nominally nobleman, the youngest son of the Count of Mance, Sylo could only wear cloth clothes, starve and be fed, and spend his days in the company of a group of wild children.
If he hadn't awakened the water elemental mind, he would have starved to death or been cleaned up by the lawless little debris of the Count of Mance's family.
It is precisely because of this that he hates Rand, who is also a mongrel, but can enjoy his father's favor!
There is no doubt that Rand's words poked at the most painful place in his heart.
Xu Luo smiled, his face was so hideous that he wanted to be a demon, but his feet increased his strength and crushed it fiercely.
Rand screamed in pain, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, but he looked behind him.
"What are you looking at, waste?" asked Su Luo condescendingly, and then laughed contemptuously: "Are you looking for your guard?" Then it's better for you to give up, even if he is a guard sent by your father, if I don't use my mental power, he won't make a move, not to mention, he seems to be your second brother's person, your second brother has long wanted to get rid of you, you know?
Rand's heart suddenly cooled.
Thinking of the second brother who was smiling in the past, the word smiling tiger came to mind.
"Waste is waste, why, why should you, who are inferior to me, be spoiled by your father?" shouted Sylo hysterically.
The force under his feet is even heavier.
Traces of blood oozed from the corners of Rand's mouth, and he felt the dull pain in his chest, almost dying.
"I really want to kill you!" said Syllor with angry eyes on Rand.
"Anyway, we are all disliked, but there seem to be more people who dislike you, so if I kill you, and your father will take me to prison again, so that we can all be freed from this filthy world...... That seems like a good idea!" said Sulo, suddenly laughing like a madman.
Then, Sylo lifted his foot and stomped down hard.
This time, he used his telekinesis.
His feet were covered with a thin layer of black mist, and that mist was the outward embodiment of the water system's mental power!
It is said that if you reach the extreme, you can cut through gold and iron by strengthening your body with mental power!
Of course, that's almost the patent of those who strengthen the ability to reinforce the mind, but even if it's not the ability to strengthen the system, when you wrap something with the power of the mind, it also has the effect of strengthening, although it can't reach the strength of the strengthening system!
The current Sylo is far from reaching the point of 'breaking gold and iron', but this foot strengthened by "Nian", if he steps on Rand, Rand's body will definitely be trampled out of a hole!
For a moment, as if foreseeing the picture of his tragic death, Rand's face turned pale, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Strangely, Rand didn't feel scared, but instead had a feeling that he was about to go berserk, which was unmistakably conveyed in the depths of Ono's mind...... Gut feeling!
"Scared?" Syllor chuckled, "It's too late, I've been going to kill you since you said I'm a bastard!"
A foot fell.
Xu Luo stepped on the air, he looked at his body in surprise, and only felt a whirlwind of the sky.
Finally, with a bang, he fell to the ground.
Syroff looked at Rand who had already stood up in disbelief, and even more incredibly at his missing right leg, his expression of disbelief was drowned in pain, and he finally screamed.
And, hearing his screams, the half-grown children just glanced this way, and they were frightened, because they saw the blood, and they saw the leg that had broken away from their bodies!
Rand gasped for breath, his hands holding the blade trembling uncontrollably, and the blood on the blade fell like raindrops.
It was too thrilling, and when Sylo's left foot stomped down rapidly, he almost instinctively pulled out the saber at his waist.
A sword slashed at Sylo's other foot, using all his might.
At that time, if it was the foot that slashed at Xuluo and stepped on, it would not be able to cut it at all because of the support of telekinesis!
In order not to do useless work, Rand used the sword in his hand to cut off Sulo's left leg between the lightning and flint.
After Rand cut off Sulo's left leg with a sword, he took advantage of the moment when Sulo lost his center of gravity and fell, and rolled over and got up.
"You're a bastard!" Rand gasped for air, his eyes still full of stubbornness.
He gripped his sword and approached step by step.
The pupils of Xu Luo's eyes contracted violently, and the only remaining leg kept shaking, and the mental power on it had already dissipated, and this time, a sword could also cut off the only remaining leg!
"I can cut you into a stick, are you afraid?" Rand said seriously, staring straight into Sylo's eyes.
Rand's pupils sprang up violently, and the only remaining leg began to tremble involuntarily.
His face turned pale, and he hissed, "No, you can't kill me! The rules of the city-state are that if you wantonly kill the city's people, you will be banished!"
It seems that there are such regulations, but these regulations are not too important in Rand's opinion.
The corners of Rand's mouth smiled slightly: "Young Master Xuluo, you are right, but what if I don't kill you?"
With a sword in his right hand, Rand walked towards Sylo step by step.
Stomped Sylo's chest.
Seeing the blood gushing from the corner of Xuluo's mouth, Rand let out a breath of turbidity.
A tooth for a tooth is the most relieving!
"Don't, don't kill me, don't, don't kill me......" Syllor almost collapsed, his mouth just repeating goodbye, don't, his pale face was already covered with tears.
A smell of urine came out.
Rand was slightly stunned: "Actually scared to pee?"
Shaking his head, Rand put his sword back into its scabbard and walked back slowly, he had never killed anyone after all, and there was a hint of womanly kindness, and a trace of pity and sympathy that should not have appeared.
So much so that in the future, he was almost planted on the benevolence of the woman this time - and there will be no return.
It wasn't until Rand walked around the corner that a man came out of the shadows.
The man was dressed in a black robe, and on the cuffs of the black robe, the crest of the Yord family, was embroidered with a blood-colored dandelion.
He leaned forward slightly and saluted Rand: "Young Master Rand." ”
The expression in Rand's eyes changed, and in the end, there was only a faint smile left: "Uncle Nino, did you go to find a rescuer?"
Nino was expressionless: "Fighting with teenagers is never a danger, and it is my duty to rescue when I am in danger." ”
Rand was slightly stunned, and his heart was basically sure of what Su Luo said.
It seems that his second brother really wants to get rid of him!
Rand nodded slightly, and then stopped talking, and was in no mood to wander around the ancient city of Babylon, but walked in silence towards home.
When he got home, Rand saw several people standing in front of his house.
In the center is his father, Locke Yord, with a blonde hair and a full beard, and on the right is his eldest brother Parmenides, who is smiling implicitly, and on the left, who is extremely handsome but narrow-eyed, is his second brother Gorgias.
When he saw this so-called relative, Rand's eyes couldn't help but dodge a little, especially when facing Gorgias.
Forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Rand bowed his head and saluted: "I have seen my father, eldest brother, and second brother." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked around again: "Didn't Sister come?"
Locke smiled lightly: "Ino is taking the test of the Rose Academy, and if he passes, he will leave for Atlantis tomorrow to study." ”
Atlantis?
Rand was almost shocked, who could tell him that the world was real? In addition to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, there was also Atlantis?
"Sister is really a genius!" Rand admired and admired, and then asked, "Father came to wait for me at the door, didn't he tell me about Sister A?"
Locke smiled and didn't speak.
Gorgias spoke: "Bastard, don't you know what you did? Cut off the left leg of Count Mance's family, if Count Mance makes trouble, what do you want your father to do?"
Gorgias didn't care about anything else, and then said viciously: "This is the fifth year that my father has been the co-leader, and he is being re-elected.
After Gorgias angrily reprimanded Rand, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Locke: "Father, please seize Rand and give him to Count Mance in exchange for Count Mance's vote!"
"Smack!" a crisp slap sounded.
Gorgias touched her hot cheeks and looked at Locke incredulously: "Father......"
Locke stared at Gorgias with sharp eyes and looked at Gorgias in disappointment: "For the re-election of a nominal co-leader, you advocate killing your brother?"
Gorgias was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his head: "Father, I was wrong. ”
The voice was sincere, but the eyes hidden under the blonde hair carried a certain hatred.
As the eldest brother, Parmenides naturally wants to maintain the harmony of the family, so Parmenides took a step forward and said: "Father, Gorgias is also for the sake of the family, and he is not an adult, so he is not thoughtful, this time, it will ......"
Locke nodded slightly, but said, "Gorgias, go and reflect." ”
Gorgias's expression changed suddenly, the so-called introspection of the Yord family, but they went to the small dark house for three days and three nights.
It's not just a small dark room. In that little dark room, there are still many undead......
Thinking of that terrible experience, Gorgias, who did not dare to resist his father, put all his hatred on Rand's head.
After Gorgias left with a distracted face, Locke stepped forward and gave him a big hug.
He hugged Rand tightly in his arms and laughed loudly: "It's worthy of being a man from my Yord family, there's a kind!
Enjoying his father's strong and warm embrace, he peeked into the slightly gentle eyes of his eldest brother.
Rand felt that his heart, which had been a little chilling just now, became warm again.
Then, Locke put him down: "Rand, go back and rest for a while, and let Sakas treat you." ”
"Father, I'm not hurt. ”
"Then go and rest. ”
Rand shook his head: "Father, I want to go to Sister A, and then, I want to borrow the admission test qualification of Rose Academy, I want to become stronger!"
When Rand said that he wanted to become stronger, both Locke and Parmenides had a moment of gloom at the same time.
In Babylon, when the children of each family are six years old, they will test their qualifications and the potential of the corresponding mental power on the winter festival day of that year, and then, if they are cultivated in that direction, they can generally awaken around the age of twelve.
However, when Rand was six years old, he was found to have no qualifications to become a person with the ability to read, that is, Rand did not have any seeds in his body that could awaken 'thoughts'.
Now, Rand will soon be twelve years old, and it is impossible for him to wake up.
Locke squatted down, stretched out his palm, and gently stroked Rand's head: "The test site of the Rose Academy is not something that anyone can go to, if you want to go, you have to wait for your sister to come back and let her take you there." ”
But this was Locke's deception of Rand, in fact, anyone can go to the test point of the Rose Academy, and they can go if they want.
Locke was afraid that his youngest son would be hit, so he deceived him!
Rand did not refuse this time, but nodded slightly, but said seriously: "Then, when Sister comes back, let me go." ”
"Well, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Watching Rand's back disappear into the middle door, Locke looked melancholy: "Rand, this kid ......"
Parmenides spoke softly and comforted: "He is a combination of some kind of blood between the Yord family and the Kingdom of God in the East, and he must not be so mediocre. ”
Locke smiled and nodded, and when he raised his head again, his face was as gloomy as water: "Nino!"
Nino, who was in a black robe, walked over tremblingly, but fell to his knees with a thud.
What happened that day, only his father Locke and his eldest brother Parmenides knew, but after that, Rand never saw Nino again.
