Chapter 16: Nicole's Hope
Winter rushes by, everything grows, and some of the ice floes on the river surface also turn into muddy water and melt into the river, and the gusts of spring breeze carry by, shaking off the snow on the branches.
Darius, as usual, still stood at the foot of the waterfall, the slightly low temperature made him red, and he breathed still, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and although his expression seemed painful, it was not difficult to tell from his even breathing that this was a powerful professional.
The snow on the riverside melted quickly, and the hunting party began to function normally, and this was the first hunt of the spring, and Kent glanced at Darius under the waterfall from afar, and did not say much, but frowned and left with the large army.
"This Darius still cultivates like this?"
Radha asked the young man beside him, his tone full of doubt, "Does he have any tricks?"
Glancing at Darius standing still in the river from a distance, he was also very curious, after all, this person had defeated himself with one punch, and it was a punch with ** strength.
"It's been so long since I saw him use Gang Qi or magic elements or anything!", the young man also followed Radha's gaze, squinting his eyes, with some hesitation on his face, "That should be some kind of body refining method!"
"Maybe!"
Radha replied lightly, and caught up with the hunting party in a few steps, thinking about the black elves and trolls attacking Blackstone Village, and it was quite enterprising to ponder alone, and the people around him called him a few times before he woke him up.
"What's wrong with you?
Kent frowned, his eyes fixed on Rada, and there was some concern in his tone, the child had been very abnormal since he came back from outside the village last time, "Rada, what do you have to tell Father!"
Seeing his father asking, Radha was suddenly a little flustered, and he didn't look at Kent's eyes, and quickly looked away, with a little dodge in his eyes, "It's nothing, father, I'm just thinking about Darius's cultivation, after all, there is always a little dissatisfaction in my heart to let a waste who has no awakening talent defeat him!"
Kent laughed, patted Lada on the shoulder, and showed a hint of joy on his face, and said in his heart that this kid has finally come out of the shadow of failure, how can a person who doesn't even dare to try to fail become a strong man?
The first hunt of the beginning of spring was very successful, only one hunter in the whole team was bitten by a wild beast, but fortunately it was not a serious injury, only some flesh and skin, and it could recover after a month and a half of recuperation, in order to celebrate the harvest of spring, heralding the good times of the new year, a bonfire was held in the village of Blackstone, and everyone was happy, and all this was extremely dazzling in the eyes of Rada.
The spring rain in the Seatel Mountains is abundant, and these towering trees are thriving on this sign of spring.
Darius under the waterfall sat in the shallow water, there was a trace of green smoke on his body, due to the cold water temperature and the huge strength in his body echoed each other, a faint mist hung around him, through this period of cultivation, he had a faint breakthrough momentum, and his heart was also full of expectations for the second chapter of the Book of Judgment, which was his only reliance in this world, thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and his cultivation was even more devastating.
Nicole was unusually happy today, because she was about to take the test, and maybe she had awakened her talent, so she prepared for herself at home early in the morning, and the whole house was disturbed by the clang.
Darius squinted in the inner room, pretending to sleep, he also wanted to participate in the talent test, and wanted to see how talented Nicole was, but this heart was very entangled, Nicole's feelings for him were a little different, if he loved her like this again, I was afraid that it would hurt this sister.
"Brother"
Nicole gently pinched Darius's nose in her pretend sleep and said mischievously, "Aren't you going to take my test?"
Frowning, Darius gently parted Nicole's hand and got up from the bed, very distressed, "Girl, go ahead, I sprained my back during my cultivation yesterday, and now it hurts a lot!"
"Brother, why don't you tell me if you sprained your waist?", Nicole was startled, and hurriedly rubbed Darius's waist with her hand, full of anxiety, "Let me see if it's serious!"
"It's okay, it's not a big injury, don't you know my body, just rest for a day!"
Pushing Nicole's hand on his waist away, Darius hurriedly urged Nicole, "Go quickly, lest you be late, the magicians of Lagondo City are not good to invite!"
Seeing Darius urging herself, Nicole did not linger any longer, said goodbye and hurried towards the village.
The old village chief was very happy standing in the village, this year there is another group of teenagers to participate in the test, the Continent of Zelas generally includes ten-year-old teenagers in the awakening talent test, this Nicole is just more special, she was already eleven years old last year, but because she and Darius are both orphans, the people in the village are not so kind to them.
Let her participate in the test this year, just because Darius is in the hunting team, and she really contributed to the hunting team, otherwise, how can she let this little girl mess around?
"Let's all go and stand in line!"
The old village chief shouted at the young men running around the village, his face was full of anxiety, and when he saw the oncoming Rada, his face was immediately happy, and he hurriedly greeted, "Rada, let these children stand in line, and Lord Ladogon City Vido will be here in a while!"
Seeing the old village chief beckoning him, Rada answered and began to sort out the formation of these children, and it took half a moment to put the formation of these teenagers in order.
At the end of the team, there was a lovely man, her golden curls were fluffy and relaxed, but a little lazy, very conspicuous in this group of teenagers, Radha saw it, his eyes were a little dull, and a touch of joy appeared on his face, "You also came to test your talent?"
"Yes, I want to be like you, awaken your talent!"
Seeing Nicole's confident appearance, Radha just smiled, said a blessing, and turned to leave.
Victor is the second time to come to Blackstone Village, last year there was a boy in this village who awakened his talent, and I don't know how far this boy has grown, and he has some expectations for this boy in his heart, and suddenly, his mind turned, and another figure also appeared in his mind, the boy who was abandoned by God.
At this moment, the others had already come to Blackstone Village, and as soon as they entered the village, they saw the familiar face of the old village chief.
"Hello, Lord Victor!"
When the old village chief saw Vido enter the village, he hurriedly stepped over a few steps, and held Vidor's hand tightly with both hands, "I'm bothering you again this time, my lord!"
"Where's that, that's what I'm supposed to do, it's my job!"
Victor exchanged a few words with the old village chief, and then walked straight to the test bench set up in the village, he was not pretentious, as soon as he arrived at the test bench, he sat on the bench of the old village chief, the old village chief looked at it, his face was happy, and he quickly stood by Victor's side respectfully.
"Let's get started!"
Victor beckoned to the first boy and began chanting a spell.
But this half a day has passed, none of the teenagers in this test can awaken their talents, Victor shook his head, a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't have much hope for the last two teenagers, besides, there is also a girl here, although there are also female professionals on the continent of Zelas, and in the blood elf clan, there is an emperor who is still a woman, but that is only a few, in this small village, Victor does not have so much luxury.
Finally, the boy still failed to awaken his talent, Victor sighed, and the indescribable feeling in his heart, this Terran has been going downhill all these years, since the fight against the natural plague, the strength of the Terran has suffered a huge loss, and the only great knight of the Terran's Sanctuary - Loras, has fallen in the battle with Oklik.
"Hey"
Victor looked a little helpless, but this talent awakening thing was born in a person, this is not something you want to have, and after glancing at the girl who was tested at the end, he also seemed quite impatient, "Little girl, come quickly!"
The girl with curly blond hair was Nicole, and she was the last person to take the talent test, and although she was nervous, she would eventually face it, "Got it!
Nicole said that, stepped lightly on the test bench, closed her eyes tightly, and a trace of sweat oozed from her forehead, her face was ugly, and she seemed to be a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid!"
When Victor saw it, he laughed, and said in his heart that this girl is cute, and looking at the appearance of Peugeot, she also gave birth to a beautiful embryo.
An obscure spell came out of Vido's mouth, and this mysterious element circled around Nicole, like some lovely elves, this scene lasted for more than half a moment, this Vido saw this, and his heart was turbulent, this has been more than half an hour, this girl is afraid that she has awakened some powerful talent.
Finally, those mysterious elements dissipated into the air after a few circles around Nicole's side, and Nicole slowly opened her eyes, only to feel an indescribable understanding in her body.
"Grandpa, do I have the talent to awaken?"
Victor was shocked at the moment, how could he notice Nicole's words, this is a rare genius in a thousand years, a great shaman will be born again, and he sorted out his mind before he came back to his senses, and when he saw the anxious Nicole in front of him, he also laughed.
"What's the name of this girl?"
Victor asked the old village chief beside him, a burst of ecstasy on his face.
"Back to my lord, her name is Nicole, and she is brother and sister to the boy who abandoned her body last year!", the old village chief chuckled in his heart, thinking that this Nicole had aroused Victor's dislike, and his tone naturally revealed a little fear.
"Congratulations, old village chief, this kid is extremely talented, has high mental strength, and has medium physical fitness, and can become a shaman!"
Victor patted the old village chief on the shoulder, laughed, and said joy while pulling Nicole to his side, "Child, you will be my godgranddaughter in the future, cultivate hard, and your achievements will be extraordinary in the future!"
When Nicole heard that Vidor was going to take her as her goddaughter, she was stunned for a moment, she never thought that she would awaken her talent, let alone become the goddaughter of Vidor's magician in Lagondo, this happiness came too suddenly.
"Why?
Seeing that Nicole didn't answer herself, Victoria deliberately turned her face down, as if she was angry, and scared Nicole into hurriedly agreeing.
After a few moments, everyone put away their joy, and Victor had lunch in Blackstone Village before leaving, leaving with a book that recorded the shaman's practice and some of the totem making methods.
Darius saw that Vido cared so much about his sister, and he thanked him so much, and sent Vidor out of the village before returning.
