"May I come in?" said Amy, knocking on the door of Alex's office. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Come in," Alex clasped his hands together and supported his chin, "what are you doing here?"

"Lord Castle, Hela asked me to invite you to the woods behind the academy to have another good talk. Amy whispered.

Alex said lightly, "What else does she want to do? I won't give in to her continuing to learn archery." And you tell her that from tomorrow onwards, someone will supervise her to practice archery secretly. ”

Amy rubbed her hands together and said, "Well, Lord of the City, you can come with me, if you don't go, I won't be able to deal with you." And Hela also said that if she still can't change her opinion this time, she promises not to touch a bow and arrow again. ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?" Alex looked at him with a blank expression.

"Yes!" replied Amy, in the affirmative.

Alex raised an eyebrow, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Amy breathed a long sigh of relief, "Please come with me." ”

The woods behind the academy weren't huge, with a few trails crisscrossing and a lake, dotted with small blue flowers of unknown names. This is the most secluded place in the academy, even if people usually come here, they don't make noise, just savor the quiet. Both magic and alchemy are closely related to nature, and meditation in such an environment can be of great help to improve magic or alchemy.

Alex wasn't here for the first time, and he was familiar with everything around him, so he didn't get too much of his eyes on the scenery.

"Where's Hela? Isn't she going to have a good talk?" Alex asked directly.

Amy looked around, "Well, she's coming." ”

Alex looked where Amy was pointing, only to see Hela change out of the magician's robes and put on a neater garment, a steel bow hanging diagonally over her shoulder, and a quiver behind her back.

"Do you still want to touch the bow and arrow? Alex stared at her.

Hela didn't flinch, she straightened up and looked at Alex, "Father, bows and arrows are my greatest hobby, I can't just give it up, just like a knight can't do without a sword, bows and arrows are also a part of my life." Can I give up my life? Of course not. I'm going to show you my talent and ability in archery, and if you think I'm good enough, how about you agree to let me continue to practice archery?"

"On the contrary, if I am not satisfied, will you never touch the bow and arrow again?"

"Yes. Hela gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Okay, I promise. ”

Lin Ye, who was hiding in the woods, clenched his fists and pressed his elbows down, he was glad that the first step of the plan was successful. It can be seen from Alex's evaluation of the man who made the water vapor in the square that he attaches great importance to the practicality and power of the battlefield, and does not pursue any unnecessary flashiness. So Lin Ye and the others bet that Alex could agree to Hela's request to show his ability, as long as Alex agreed, it would not be difficult to impress him with Hela's ability. And for a hero who has been through a hundred battles and is guarding the front line, it is impossible to do such an unreasonable thing as being moved and pretending not to care.

Hela took off the steel bow, took a deep breath and nodded to Lin Ye. As soon as Lin Ye pulled a rope beside him, three apples were thrown into the air, Hela's eyes froze, and her right hand skillfully took three arrows and put them on the bow. As soon as the fingers were released, three wind-breaking sounds followed, and the three apples in mid-air were stuck with an arrow stuck in them when they fell to the ground. Alex glanced sideways, obviously he didn't expect Hela's archery skills to reach such an extent, but it wasn't enough to make him compromise just because of that.

Lin Ye looked at Alex, who was a little moved, smiled slightly, gestured towards Hela, grabbed another rope with his right hand, and pulled it down violently, and an unknown fruit slightly larger than a blueberry was thrown at Hela. Unhurried and calm, Hela slid an arrow off the string, and the fruit, which was only a little larger than the tip of the arrow, was nailed to the tree. The tail feathers of the arrows kept swinging, and Alex's determination seemed to waver a little.

The current situation was going according to Lin Ye's plan, Hela was a little excited, but she didn't hesitate, she nodded at Amy and motioned for him to start the final steps. Amy looked reluctant, but she walked to a basket and picked up an unknown fruit and put it on her head, and put the other two on her shoulder. He leaned against the trunk of the tree and closed his eyes, "Hela...... You've got to shoot on point. ”

"Trust me. ”

Hela's hand moved, and the process of drawing the bow and arrows was repeated three times, and three arrows were fired at the trunk of the tree. Amy only felt the arrow grazing her scalp and shoulder, and three vibrating sounds rang out, and three fruits were nailed to the trunk of the tree. Amy slowly opened her eyes, and after touching her head and shoulders to make sure she wasn't injured, she suddenly saw Lin Ye, who was hiding on the side, smiling maliciously and pulling a rope. The two fruits were tossed in mid-air, and this time Hela shot them with only one arrow, and the two fruits were carried to the trunk of the tree by the sharp arrows, and the wobbling tail feathers of the arrows kept grazing Amy's cheeks.

"Big brother!" Amy ran towards Lin Ye with an angry scream, and Lin Ye hurriedly ran away.

Hela put down the steel bow in her hand and wiped the sweat from her palms with the corner of her clothes, "Father, what do you think of my ability in archery?"

"It's really good, I didn't expect your archery skills to reach such an extent, who taught you?"

"'Francis, known as the 'Soul Slayer' of the marksman. Hela said with some pride.

Alex nodded and said, "It turned out to be Francis, then it's no wonder, he and I have some friendship, but I didn't expect him to be your teacher." ”

"Then you won and I continued to practice archery?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't promise you, even though you're capable enough. Alex's answer was still no.

"Why!" Hela didn't understand, and the answer was still no, after doing so much.

Lin Ye and Amy also stopped playing and looked at this side, did they really think wrong? Alex is really so unreasonable?

Looking at Hela with red circles under her eyes, Alex felt uncomfortable, "Hela, I can only say I'm sorry." When your mother left, she told you that you should never touch the bow and arrow, and she said that metal arrows may seem sharp but cannot break through the darkness, but will fall in the darkness and become a part of the darkness. ”

"Mother......" Hela froze in place.

Lin Ye and Amy didn't understand the meaning of that sentence, but they understood that Hela estimated that she would not be able to practice archery in the future. At this moment a guard came over and broke the dull situation.

"Lord Castle, Vice Dean, please come over for a moment. The guard said.

"I remember your name was George. Alex stared at the guard.

"Yes, my lord, I am honored that you remember my name. ”

"But George has a sword mark on his neck, which he left when he saved me, who the hell are you!" Alex drew his sword and pointed it at the guard.

The guard laughed, and his whole body began to twist, "Hahaha, this is my negligence, I originally wanted to solve you while you were unprepared, but now it seems that I still have to confront you head-on." ”

The distortion vanished, and a man covered in black leather armor took the place of the guard.
