The next day, Wren did not go out in the morning,

Instead, in the afternoon, he went to wait near the agreed place between Ogudo and the sword boy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Wren arrived, the sword boy had already arrived.

In his hand he clutched a gray-brown fured wild cat, which was still struggling desperately,

And also wanted to scratch the boy's arm with his claws.

The boy's arms were covered with scratches from cat's claws, and blood was still oozing from the wounds.

It made Wren feel uncomfortable for a while.

If you want to accept apprentices, why is there such a test, for a teenager,

It's too bloody and tragic.

The wild cat in the boy's hand was still howling desperately, and his body writhed violently to get rid of the boy's grasp.

But the body of the wild cat was cruelly pulled by the fur of the young man and hung it, even if the wild cat lifted his waist and wanted to kick with his hind feet,

It couldn't touch the boy's arm.

A man and a cat stood in the shadows of the alley until the familiar figure appeared.

The boy rushed out and came to Ogudo, excitedly showing him the wildcat he had caught.

Ogudo simply glanced at the wild cat in the boy's hand, and then said lightly, "Put it away." ”

The surprised boy did not disobey Ogudo's order, and with a questioning expression, he put the wild cat on the ground and let go.

The wild cat, which had regained its freedom, did not stop, but squeaked and ran into the shadows, hiding without a trace.

And then. Go back and apply the wound. "Augusto threw the boy a small cloth bag,

After leaving the words "your heart is too hard, I can't take you as an apprentice!", he bypassed the boy and planned to go home.

"Wait, wait a minute! Why? Cat, I've already caught the cat!" the boy argued.

He didn't even cut what was inside the sack.

Ogudo didn't stop, but he left the boy with a word: "Think about me tonight! Tomorrow, catch another cat and wait for me." ”

After speaking, he ignored the young man's reaction and went to [Crimson Fish Street].

The boy waited until Ogudo disappeared into the street, then he opened the small cloth bag and took out a few clam shells from it.

Due to the distance, Wren could not see the boy after opening the clam shell, but the boy had a smile on his face,

He put the clam shell back into the pouch and left happily.

Coming out of the darkness, Wren kept thinking about what Ogudo had said to the boy.

He didn't understand why Ogudo had asked the boy to catch another cat.

He didn't even understand why the boy smiled at the end.

It seemed that this was an interesting thing, and Wren returned to the Dragon Eagle with a question in his mind.

All night, he was thinking about what Ogudo said to the young man: Your heart is too hard, I can't take you as an apprentice!

Tossing and turning until four or five o'clock in the morning, Wren had an idea in his haze, so he decided to go to bed first,

Just wait for the afternoon to see the conclusions.

It was time for Mr. Ogudo to meet with the young man, and this time Wren was much earlier than the boy.

When he was done, a young man from afar came with a wild cat wrapped in clothes.

also arrived early, this time the boy had fewer bleeding wounds, and the wild cat in his arms no longer resisted desperately,

Instead, it obediently hid in the clothes that the boy wrapped in it.

Finally waiting for Ogudo, he glanced at the wild cat in the boy's arms, took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to the boy:

"Kill it!"

The boy didn't seem to react, and didn't reach out to take the dagger from Ogudo.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to learn the sword?" Ogudo reminded the boy.

Perhaps it was the word "learning the sword" that made the boy make up his mind, and he quickly took the dagger, only to hesitate when he was about to stab the wild cat in his clothes.

Seeing the young man's hesitation, Ogudo urged: "Do it! Kill it, and I will teach you swordsmanship not to be bullied." ”

The young man was agitated, staring up at Augusto.

For a while, Wren thought that the boy was going to do what Ogudo had urged, but the boy laughed, and he returned the dagger to Ogudo.

"Master, you have already taught me the swordsmanship that I will not be bullied by! However, I now want to learn the swordsmanship to protect others!"

What the?!

Wren was frightened by the boy's wisdom, and the moment he heard the boy's answer, Wren also understood Ogudo's intentions.

From the very beginning, Ogudo was guiding and testing the teenager, that is, to see if the teenager had a good heart and character, and also to test whether the teenager was intelligent enough.

As Wren expected, Ogudo then nodded and accepted the boy: "From tomorrow onwards, come to the beach in the east at one o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Receiving permission, the boy bowed happily to Ogudo, and then replied loudly, "Thank you, master! ”

Ogudo showed a rare smile to the young man, and then his expression became stiff again, and he patted the young man on the shoulder: "Okay, you can go back." ”

"Yes, yes, master!" the boy agreed, and turned away with the wild cat in his arms.

When the boy left the alley, Ogudo stared at Wren's hiding place, scaring Wren from the soles of his feet to his scalp.

"Come out!" said Ogudo's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear if he was angry.

Wren didn't dare to take chances, and hurriedly walked out of the hidden place and faced Ogudo openly.

"I saw you sneaking behind me the day before yesterday. Tell me, who the hell are you?" Augusto's eyes were fixed on Wren,

It makes Wren feel that his every move cannot escape the surveillance of the other party.

Wren didn't think about the possibility of being discovered by the other party.

It's just that he didn't expect that he was so cautious and kept tracking at such a long distance, but he was still discovered by the other party.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Wren confessed his identity and purpose to Augusto.

Hearing Wren say that he wanted to recruit him to become a member of the mercenary group, Ogudo turned around directly in front of Wren.

"Go back! I'm not interested in any mercenary groups. ”

With that, Ogudo stopped caring about Wren and walked in the direction of home.

But Wren did not leave there, he chased after the figure of Ogudo, and said loudly, "Mr. Ogudo, please wait. ”

To Wren's surprise, Ogudo really stopped, he turned back to Wren and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"I have a question for you!" Wren rushed to Ogudo's side before continuing, "Why do you teach the children to practice swords? Of course, I understood just now, so that they can better protect themselves and the people around them. ”

"You know, why are you still asking me?" said Augusto, asking Wren.

At this time, Wren realized that he didn't seem to have made the problem clear, so he changed his tone and asked:

"Oh, I'm actually asking, do you really teach kids how to protect themselves and the people around them?"

Augusto was stunned, his originally sharp eagle eyes instantly lost his mind.

Wren guessed that he was reminiscing and pondering, and did not dare to make any movements, so as not to disturb the other party.

When Ogudo's eyes recovered, Wren heard Ogudo say to him calmly, "You don't know anything......"

This time it was Wren's turn to be stunned, and he wanted to keep Ogudo from talking in a hurry, so he unconsciously blurted out to anger Ogudo.

Although it was only three days of expeditions, Wren already knew that Ogudo was a man who liked children.

Not only when teaching children to practice swords, but also when guiding children.

But Wren has always felt that Ogudo has hidden too many stories in his heart, so that he is such a powerful person,

Willing to live such a dull life.

Wren was keenly aware that when Ogudo guided the young man to learn the sword, he invisibly substituted his own experience.

This should be for the sake of the child, but this is not enough, it is influenced by one's own experience, and the guidance given to the child is not good enough.

Although he didn't know well enough, Wren couldn't convince Ogudo because he didn't know enough about him.

"What happened to you and Miss Kathri? and Vienda. Wren asked Augusto.

Wren noticed a movement in the corner of Augusto's eye, and felt the smell of gunpowder in the air for a moment.

Augusto, who seemed to be calm as usual, must have been very angry for a moment just now.

It's just that he quickly calmed down, which also made Wren admire.

Now Ogudo's reaction made Wren confirm his judgment, and Ogudo's guidance to the child was not good enough.

"What do you want to say?" asked Augusto.

Wren looked up at the eyes that had never dared to look at each other, these sharp eagle eyes were still deadly,

It's just that he is covered with a faint gray shadow.

"Mr. Ogudo, hiding in the shadows of the past is not good for teaching children. Wren said his words word for word.

"What?!" said Ogudo subconsciously.

At that moment, Wren saw the wavering in Ogudo's eyes, and at the same time saw the hope of recruiting Ogudo in.
