Chapter 6

Isabel, who was bent on seeking revenge on Casto, immediately became excited when she heard the word "revenge". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hales said, "Isabel, have you ever seen the bloody battlefield on Poppy Island?"

Isabel shook her head, "No. ”

"There was once a warrior who had a wife, a daughter, and a wonderful family. But...... Poppy Island has been in war for many years, and good things never last long. Once, when the warrior was returning home to visit his family, he was attacked by the Evil Spirit Bone Legion, and his wife and daughter were all killed, and he was the only one who desperately resisted and escaped from the clutches. At that time, he was completely desperate, as if the sky had fallen, and he was so angry that he really wanted to go directly to the evil spirit bone legion for revenge, but ...... But he didn't, because he knew that if he went alone, he would only make an innocent sacrifice, and not only would he not take revenge, but he would also take his own life in vain, so he could not be impulsive. The more you are at this time, the more you should calm down. So, he mustered up the courage to endure the pain, and after returning to the barracks, he continued to hone his character, constantly improve his psychological quality, and he learned to defeat the enemy with 'wisdom', not with 'anger'. Day after day, year after year. Five years before 'The Last War on Poppy Island', this warrior bent on revenge was already a man of great achievement. On one occasion, he led an attack on the Scarford Fortress of the Evil Spirit Bone, which was impregnable and one of the strongest strongholds of the Evil Spirit Bone. During the siege, he feigned a retreat, luring out all the enemy troops defending the city and leading them to the bottom. At this time, another army of blood angels, who had already been ambushed in the dense forest, suddenly came out, surrounded and destroyed all the enemy troops at the bottom of the valley. Immediately afterward, the army of the Blood Angels suddenly returned to the fortress of Scarford, and the defenders of the fortress were few and could only surrender. The warrior captured Skaford Fortress and became one of the greatest heroes of the Blood Angels, avenging his wife and daughter. ”

Isabel was silent for a moment, "It's heart-wrenching that his wife and daughter were killed! Who is this great warrior?"

Hales smiled lightly, "He's still alive, and he's right in front of you." ”

Isabel was shocked, "Is that you?"

"Yes, I am him, and the name of that warrior is ...... Hales Graeme. ”

"The evil spirit bone killed your family, and instead of being impulsive, you have been enduring, honing, and controlling everything with wisdom, not with anger. ”

"Yes, because anger is the devil that enslaves the mind, anger can only corrupt my mind and body, and if you want to defeat the enemy, you must first defeat the devil in your heart, and you must first live well, so that you can take revenge. ”

"If you want revenge, you can only strengthen yourself first. ”

"Quite right. ”

"But I'm not willing to be a loser. ”

"I didn't say that you should be a failure, how can you succeed without failure? Isabel, for so many years, it seems that you have not experienced setbacks, in your heart, it seems that there is no concept of 'setback', therefore, in your heart, no matter how small a failure, it will often cause you the heaviest blow. You see, even our leader, Henks, has failed. ”

"After the war broke out, he was the most powerful Ancient Blood Spirit on Poppy Island, and he would also fail?"

"Isabel, did you know that he has lost more than a hundred battles?"

"More than a hundred, so many?"

"Because the war lasted for thousands of years, and there were thousands of great wars, he only lost more than a hundred times, which was already the greatest victory for him. Every time he loses a battle, he comforts himself. ”

"How does he comfort himself?"

"Guess what?"

"I don't know. What did he say?"

Hales raised his eyebrows, mimicking the tone and expression of Henks' voice, and said, "He said, 'I have won so many battles, am I not allowed to lose once?'

Hales' imitation of Henks was so funny that Isabel couldn't help but laugh on the spot, the first time she had laughed in a long time. She was also curious to ask, "How can someone like Henks do such a funny thing?"

"Of course, in his eyes, 'anger because of failure' is a sign of lack of confidence and incompetence, and it is also irresponsible to himself. 'Accepting failure' is a kind of cultivation, a kind of strength, and a kind of realm. ”

At this time, the anger accumulated in Isabel's heart seemed to subside at once, she was no longer ashamed of her failure, she muttered meaningfully: "There is success only if there is failure! Compared with the more than a hundred failures of Henks, what is my small failure?" At the same time, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Isabel, what are you thinking?"

"I was thinking about what you said. ”

"The vitality of our blood clan is very tenacious compared to human beings, and any member of the blood clan can eliminate the pain by drinking a little blood when they are injured, but you have drunk it for so many days, but it has not improved, which shows how serious the harm that anger brings to your mind and body. You must know that in nature, even the best race can hardly bear the harm that anger does to the mind and body. A humiliating letter from Casto can make you vomit blood in anger, and it's unbelievable to say it, and I'm afraid Casto himself can't believe it. And the main culprit that causes your injuries to get worse and worse is your anger, and your anger enslaves your mind and destroys your body, and once your body is destroyed, how can you take revenge?

Isabel suddenly realized, "Hales, thank you for your enlightenment! It's great to be able to talk to you about this! This is the most important moment of my life!"

Isabel defeated the demons, and Hales was very happy, "I don't mean to let you get revenge, but to let you overcome yourself, I hope you can understand." ”

"I'll understand. ”

"Now that you've figured it out, shouldn't you go get some sleep? You haven't rested in days, right?"

"Well, I'll be kind to myself. ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words. I won't borrow any more books, I'm tired, it's time to go back to sleep, and I'll talk about it in the evening. ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Graeme!"

"Goodbye!" she then went to her bedroom and lay down in the coffin. She believes that as long as she sleeps well, she will definitely regain her vitality. Under the guidance of Hales, she seems to have ascended from hell to heaven, freed from the shackles of nightmares and demons, and rediscovered herself.

In the evening, as soon as the sun had set, Isabel pushed the lid open, and because she had used too much force, the lid hit the ceiling, and her strength was apparently fully restored. Then, she sat up straight and stepped out of the coffin. Her complexion was noticeably better, her body was rejuvenated, the illness caused by her anger had disappeared, and she was reborn like a phoenix.

She then changed into a new fur coat and the first thing she did was to go to Hales. At this time, Hales was in the office writing back to his boss, Isabel's father, Green.

Isabel did not disturb him, but waited until he had finished writing the letter and handed it to the messenger before speaking to him: "Mr. Graeme, I ......"

Hales realized that Isabel had been waiting here for a long time, and he immediately stood up, "Isabel, why are you here? ”

"I want to tell you ......"

"Just say. ”

Isabel regretted that she hadn't listened to him and hadn't asked him to be my mentor, so she was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, so she hesitated and said, "Did my father really ask you to be my mentor?"

Hales suddenly understood her intentions, "You figured it out now?"

"I want to ...... If the world were at peace, my father wouldn't have let you come all the way from the Alps to be my mentor, and you wouldn't have risked your life to come here. ”

"That's what a mature girl should say, and if your father hears it, he'll send you more jewelry. I should have come earlier if I knew you were so naughty. ”

"By the way, I have something to tell you. ”

"Please be seated and speak slowly. ”

Isabel sat down, "Castor now has a kind of flying warship that can directly drop shells from above and destroy the enemy. Since the flying ships are too tall for the guns to reach them, we must develop a flying ship in case we attack our manor. ”

"As for the flying ship, I have thought about it, its structure is very simple, it is nothing more than changing the ship's mast and sail into a huge oval airbag, and then leaving a larger round mouth at the bottom of the airbag, and installing a flamethrower under the mouth to fill the airbag with hot air, and adjusting the rise and fall of the flying ship by adjusting the size of the flame. Finally, two pairs of retractable wings were installed on either side of the boat, one to adjust the forward speed and direction, and the other to be used for backup. By the way, there is another thing, the stern of the boat must be equipped with a lightning protection net to facilitate travel in thunderstorms, but ...... It is best not to march during a thunderstorm. ”

"The wings and the lightning nets you just mentioned, I didn't see them on Castor's flying ship that day. ”

"Maybe he didn't think it through enough, maybe he'll put it back on later, maybe he has the wings and the lightning net, but you don't see it clearly. ”

"Anyway, we're going to build one. ”

"This requires a huge airbag first, dozens of cannons, and ......"

"It's so troublesome, in fact, it just looks very simple, and if you really want to build one, the difficulty can be imagined. ”

"You're right, we must have one flying ship, better yet, in case other flying ships come to raid, and if the enemy's flying ship suddenly appears, we will only be beaten. ”

"The port of Copenhagen has two of our ships, one of which is the 'Kraken' of the Royal Dutch Navy. Five years ago, it ran aground while passing through the Upper Strait, was intercepted by me, and now it finally comes in handy. If we really want to modify it, we will have to start construction near the port, and we will have to grieve for a while. ”

"That's not necessary, I can also mobilize 200 people stationed in Malmö, Sweden, and let them build flying ships according to the drawings, so we don't have to do it ourselves, if you don't worry, you can go and see it every once in a while." ”

"Is it your two hundred?"

"No, those are our Blood Angels, and your father arranged for them to be stationed in Malmö to help us at all times. ”

"You know better than I know about my father. ”

"Because you were so naughty, your father didn't tell you about it. ”

"Make fun of me again. ”

"I'm not kidding you anymore. Now, let's imagine designing a sketch of a flying ship. ”

Isabel drew the structure of the Kraken on paper from memory to provide reference for Hales. Through the structural drawing, with his rich imagination and ideas, Hales quickly sketched an imaginary diagram of the flying ship on paper, and marked the location of some important devices. Although it was only an imaginary drawing, Isabel was immediately attracted and she was eager to start construction immediately.

Hales wrote a letter that night and sent someone to Malmö, Sweden, to transfer all of Green's 200 elites to the port of Copenhagen to prepare for the construction of flying ships. As a result, the speed with which the two hundred Blood Angel elites arrived was surprisingly astonishing, and in less than a day, they rushed to Copenhagen. Overwhelmed by this, Isabel took out a third of her personal possessions and rented a lot of houses near the port so that the elite could live there. Of the remaining two-thirds of her possessions, she used half to buy the materials needed to build the flying ship, and the other half as a backup. This money has also been saved by her for many years, and it seems that she would rather break the bank than build a flying ship and give Casto a little color.

The next evening, Isabel and Hales hurried to Copenhagen to gather the elite to study how to build a flying ship. Of the two hundred men, one hundred and ninety-six were soldiers, and of the remaining four, three officers and one military engineer.

The officers and soldiers looked puzzled when they saw Hales's blueprints. When the military engineer saw the blueprint, he immediately understood the principle, and he patted his chest with confidence, and decided to accept the task of building a flying ship, and with great certainty set a time for completion within two weeks. The military engineer's name was Lahague Odero, and when he was on Poppy Island, he was not comparable to those well-known engineers, but he was still a well-known figure.

In order to build the flying ship, Lahago and his soldiers built a temporary dock on the beach, and then towed the Kraken to the beach, removed the sails and masts, and began a major refit.

Isabel gave Lahagrid the task of building the flying ship, and she and Hales returned to the estate. From now on, she will also receive one-on-one lessons from Hales, where she will learn how to survive in the treacherous natural world.

On the first day of class, it happened to be in the evening.

Isabel and Mentor Hells came to the snowy forest, and the two quickly climbed the same tree. Hales saw the deer in the distance at a glance, he pointed to the deer in the distance, and said softly, "Look, there will be a good show of the jungle in a while." ”

There was nothing strange about the deer herd in the distance, which made Isabel wonder a little, "What are you asking me to see the deer for?"

"You'll find out later. ”

Sure enough, after a while, the shadows of several wolves appeared in the forest in the distance. They gradually gather and begin to observe the movement of the deer, then gradually disperse, secretly outflanking the deer, and finally, they launch a surprise attack. The frightened deer instantly fell into confusion and began to flee in all directions. The wolf's encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and the strong deer can easily break out of the encirclement, but the old, frail or young deer can only serve as a meal for the wolf. The wolves were lucky, they caught a fawn that was enough to replenish their cubs.

Isabel saw that the captured fawn was pitiful, and she wanted to rush up and drive the wolves away. Hales grabbed her wrist and said, "This is the law of nature, not your business, we can't go against the law of nature." ”

"Why?" Isabel wondered, "why didn't you let me save it, it's a shame that it was eaten by wolves at such a young age." ”

"I know what you mean, but nature is like that, wolves need to hunt in order to survive, and if they catch their prey, they will starve to death. And in order to survive, deer need to run fast, and only if they run fast will they not be killed. In other words, if you want to gain a foothold in nature, you must first strengthen yourself. ”

"But in the scene just now, those wolves could kill an old deer, but they were going to kill a young deer. ”

"yes, I saw it too. This can only be blamed on the poor fate of the fawn, this is the cruel nature world, and we are also included. ”

"I see. ”

"Well, now I'm going to see how your swordsmanship goes. Hales took out two swords and gave Isabel one by the way, "Come and attack me." ”

Isabel, who was accustomed to cold weapons in the Middle Ages, obviously felt that the 18th-century swords were a little lightweight, and even more uncomfortable, "How are these swords?"

"It's not the Middle Ages, you have to adapt to today's weapons right away. ”

"Oh well. ”

Isabel was the first to attack, and Hales was skilled in swordsmanship, only defending and not attacking, easily blocking Isabel's deadly attacks again and again, and while he was ready to block the sword stabbing at him, he said: "You have not fought on the battlefield of Poppy Island, you are so lucky, if you participate in any battle there, you can kill two or three people, it is your greatest victory." ”

"What do you mean?"

"That is, if you participate in any war, you can't survive. ”

"Are you laughing at me?" Isabel was a little annoyed, and her attacks became sharper.

Hales was still able to defuse her every attack with ease, "I didn't laugh at you, what I said was the truth, if you don't believe it, you ask your father." ”

Isabel took his words as wind on her ears and continued to launch some futile attacks.

Hales really didn't want to continue like this, so with a swing of his sword, he knocked the sword out of her hand, and then quickly pointed the sword at her neck, "You should believe it this time, right?"

Isabel couldn't believe that her level could be so bad, and this time she was really convinced, she picked up her sword, "Okay, you win." ”

"Looks like I'm overestimating you. What are the odds if you're up against Casto?"

"I have nothing to say. ”

"I wanted to try your adaptability to nature first, so we had to go back and start with the basics. (To be continued.) )
