Chapter 115: Apprenticeship
Akentero sat at the end of the long table and said with a smile, "See you again, welcome." Okazawa didn't know you before, please forgive me, he is also his duty. Now you're welcome, sit down and eat to your heart's content, I should be a surprise to you. ”
Although Kiki was a little hungry, she had no appetite, and she and Lingji each picked a chair and sat down, and asked directly:
"Lord Arcantero, I was trapped in a place called the Elven Mound. Having met your Invisible Man Strategist, he said that you have been trying to awaken my memories. On the surface, it was helping me, but it could fool outsiders but not me. I'm actually using my memories and my curiosity about the unknown to help you achieve your own ends. I wonder if the Holy Crown you took away from me really made you complete the highest level of the second evolution? Have you really been using me to find the Holy Crown from the beginning? ”
My answer to both questions is yes, and it is. I guess you're here for the Holy Crown, too? Do you want to take it with you? ”
"Originally, I had planned to do the same, but now I've changed my mind. The reason is not only because of Kenken's godmother, but also because of the truth I want to know. ”
"Oh! What truth do you want to know? ”
"Where do I come from? And why can't I find a fate pet to complete the second evolution? What do you know about my past? ”
"Where are you from, the information I have found has always lacked conclusive evidence and cannot answer you. You need to find it yourself, and several of the Imperial City elders who know about it have also passed away. As for ......"
"As for what?"
"As for your second evolution, do you also believe that practicing wearing the Holy Crown can help you unshackle your subconscious mind and break the curse of fate?"
"Does the Holy Crown really have this function? Or is it just a legend? ”
"The Holy Crown does have this function, but it will only be an ordinary helmet and hat when ordinary people wear it. Only those who have undergone rigorous spiritual training can receive its help to promote the evolution of their physical functions and intellect. ”
Lingji, who was on the side, was a little surprised, and she felt like Acantero was telling the truth throughout the conversation.
"Well, since you admit that you used me to get the Holy Crown, you already owe me a favor. Can you promise me a condition to return this favor? ”
Kiki wasn't too sure in her heart, and she didn't know if it was worth believing that this rebel leader would return her favor. After making this request, the scene almost froze, and Lingji on the side secretly exclaimed. Although Kiki's voice was still a little hoarse, she spoke loudly at this time.
There was also a wave in Akentero's heart, he still felt that the other party was a prisoner, and he had no right to make conditions with him. But because of the things she admitted, and she is a righteous woman, she can only listen to what conditions the other party will put forward first:
"Oh, what's your condition?"
"I want you to teach me how to do spiritual practice. I believe that the fruits of one's cultivation should be based on one's own efforts, not on shortcuts by relying on a holy crown and hat. ”
"Kiki, do you believe he will really teach you?" Lingji on the side took her hand and asked in a low voice, "What should he do if he deceives you with a fake method?" ”
As soon as the words were raised, Arcantero was secretly surprised. After a few seconds of silence, he replied, "This request is not too much to repay the favor, but the art of spirituality is not easy to learn, and it involves a lot of knowledge about the connection between man and everything in the universe. It doesn't happen overnight, it can take a long time and it's hard work. ”
"It's okay, I have the time and determination."
"However, I'm very busy, I'm afraid I won't have time."
"So when you were studying spirituality, did you have any books and notes on this subject?"
Acantero was a little hesitant, if the other party's abilities and memories were awakened because of spiritual cultivation, would the other party become his confidant in the future. But then again, the black-robed patriarch has such a high IQ that is difficult for a person to learn, can this little girl learn this little bit of Taoism?
"Okay, the master leads the way in, and the cultivation is personal. Let's start with the simplest things, and I'll show you this book first, okay? ”
A smile appeared on Kiki's face, and deep down in her heart, the first step of a secret plan had begun. She replied:
"Thank you, it's time for me to call you master. Master, please ......," she said, raising the glass on the table and saluting to Acantelro.
After the feast, in an airy private office in Akentero, Okazawa asked with a hint of doubt:
"Lord Acantero, do you really want to take this apprentice? I always feel that the person who comes is not good. ”
Akentero sat in his easy chair, thought for a moment, and then replied:
"I understand your loyalty, Okazawa. There are many things that happen, just like gambling, if you don't rely on luck, no one knows if they will win. Kiki wanted me to teach her the art of spirituality, but I didn't have time to teach her, and the time to attack the Imperial City was approaching according to the original plan. She can't learn much in such a tight time, and she will definitely be unable to continue because of some difficulties.
This is one, and the second is a more complex reason. Before his death, my elder brother Quiren wanted to borrow Dubin's hand to save Kiki, but after his death, it was discovered that he had sent a small pet to send a secret message to the Imperial City, saying that if Kiki got his hands on the Holy Crown, he would be killed. Such a strange thing must be hinting at something, if Kiki has some kind of power that the ruler of the Imperial City fears, and let me fight for it, maybe it will be good for our great cause. ”
"But didn't you ever find that girl's screams terrifying to your pet?" Okazawa asked.
"You're still very careful. But don't worry now, you will also find that her voice is much hoarse, and she must be injured. Second, her vocal energy can only affect whales in a small area, which is not much of a threat to me. Third, if she really has the sincerity to apprentice, she should not be my enemy. ”
"I really can't see that you are very careful about the problem, which makes me sincerely admire." Okazawa said.
"Don't be careless too early, you have to keep an eye out for me when you have time, and report to me if you have any."
"Yes, my lord, I will keep an eye on them at all times."
"Is the Dongdong monster back?" Akentero suddenly asked, "He should be back!" ”
"Yes, back. Because he was a little injured and tired, he let him sleep with him first. ”
"It's time to get up!" Arcantero was a little anxious: "On the battlefield, there is impermanence and impermanence, and if you miss the time, you will miss the opportunity." No, call him to me. Rest after reporting the military situation! ”
"Yes, I'll go and bring him right away."
Okazawa swam in the winding passage, his soft and muscular body resembling that of his favorite spotted sea serpent. The Nautilus Fortress is strong because of the structure of the Nautilus's shell, which allows it to withstand considerable seawater pressure. Therefore, the passage in the fortress is naturally nine turns and eighteen turns, and if the body does not get better after a few laps, it may really feel like riding a merry-go-round.
