Chapter 393: Rare Talent

Sophia glanced at Philip and winked mischievously at her big beautiful eyes: "You sound confident, Mr. Sun, but the way you choose to meet is indeed very dangerous."

So why not join in, just in time we are going to grab a bite to eat, and as a local, I think you will definitely recommend us a lot of specialty snacks that are both delicious and clean.

As for your business, we might as well talk about it while we eat. ”

William was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he prepared a lot of rhetoric in advance, just so that the other party could patiently listen to his self-introduction.

In his most ideal vision, he never imagined that it would go so smoothly, and that he would be invited to supper by the princess.

Before he could be polite, he heard a loud solitary sound coming from his lower abdomen, because he couldn't help but think of those hot and fragrant delicacies.

Then his face turned red, and he was embarrassed to cover his embarrassed stomach with his hands, and the voice just now was so loud in the silent streets of midnight that it seemed to be able to spread throughout the street.

In order not to embarrass him too much, Philip gestured to Paul with his eyes, and then said to William: "Mr. Sun, then please lead the way." ”

Sophia had already whispered in his ear just now that this young man was almost no less than Philip himself in terms of the size of the spirit core and the scale of the pillar of light, but there were no two colors.

Whatever his abilities are, as long as they are not too excessive and out of the way, then they are totally worth cultivating.

William reacted quickly, he pointed to the corner and said, "Just call me William, my friends like to call me William Fishing Rod, because I'm too thin."

This way, I know a shortcut, with this Mr. Guard of yours, safety is not an issue. ”

So on the night of this holy city, a group of strange people wandered through the streets and alleys, until they came to the street of the night market, which was still bustling and noisy, and Philip and Sovia had already inquired everything about this self-recommended boy.

William Lovegood Sun, as he said, turned 17 just three weeks ago, is an orphan.

He didn't know who his biological father was, only that it was a sailor from the Twin Continents surnamed Sun, and his mother was a dancer.

After a commonplace deal in a port city, and for some reason by coincidence, his mother became pregnant with him, and returned to his hometown with a big belly, in the slums of this holy city in the south.

But unfortunately, when he was less than five years old, William lost his mother's family and his only shelter and source of livelihood in this world due to a fire that affected half of the slums.

Fortunately, thanks to the protection of his mother, who loved him very much, little William survived almost unscathed, except for a little bending his hair by the heat.

Fortunately, after losing all his relatives, he was taken into his home by the good widower, Mr. Lovegood, and raised him carefully.

Although Lovegood's poor carpentry skills allowed William Jr. to struggle with food and clothing throughout his childhood, he still lived to the age of 13 in good health and integrity.

Sadly, this happy life ended in the autumn four years ago for William.

Lovegood, who was renovating the doors and windows of a family, suddenly felt black in front of him, his head was dizzy, and he fell off the wall several meters high.

The damage to the flesh and skin is easy to say, but with the free medical support from the temple and the money from a few neighbors, it didn't take long to recover.

But the real culprit behind Lovegood's accident was a rare genetic disease.

This genetic, intermittent intergenerational disease finally found Lovegood at the age of 58, and as time dragged on, it gradually made the originally strong man lose the ability to work.

Young William quietly dropped out of school to make ends meet, mingled with the street thugs in the other districts, and even learned to steal and cheat.

But when he happily returned to the house with the stolen cured meat and smoked fish, the emaciated Mr. Lovegood struck him in anger for the first time in his life, and threw him out of the house, and even removed the word Lovegood from William's surname.

William sat outside the door all night, banging on the door without a single response.

When he entered the house the next day, with the help of his neighbors, he found his adoptive father, Lovegood, lying on the icy ground, next to an overturned stool, clutching a long, thin rope in his hand.

And in the open wooden box on the table, a small stack of gold cards and a letter of recommendation for a boarding school lay quietly.

Lovegood, who had been strong all his life, wanted to end his life in this decisive way, just to stop dragging down the child with his increasingly weak body, and let him return to his normal life.

But even so, his weak body made him lose the strength to break himself, and at the last moment he fell off his chair and fainted.

Lovegood was finally saved, but the family, which had spent the last of its savings, was even more impoverished.

However, to Lovegood's delight, William no longer interacted with those bastards, and in addition to showing excellent academic performance, he also learned to be a good carpenter much better than himself.

After school, he worked odd jobs after school, and finally let the family survive the most difficult years, perhaps William thought it was the most difficult years.

Later, things were relatively simple, one night before he was 16 years old, William suddenly had a spiritual riot, and then he naturally woke up.

There was no ashram in the temple, no chant to chant in the Divine Word, no small snacks that had been carefully prepared, and it was impossible for him to have the systematic training and nourishment of Philip like Philip from his apparent background, but he had awakened so easily.

From the process of awakening he described, it was as if the active overflowing spiritual power in his body and the meager divine power floating in the air had been eager to hook up, so that the night would automatically trigger and complete the most important transformation of his life.

I have to say that Philip is also amazed by the talent of this teenager.

And the reason why he wanted to sell himself to Sophia before entering the Hall of Heroes was because as time went on and the disease progressed, his adoptive father, Mr. Lovegood, gradually became terminally ill.

The temple's free medical treatment could no longer help the dilapidated body, and the only way to alleviate the disease was through a large number of rare and precious medicines, and to continue life.

What made Sophia and Philip sigh even more was that the reason why William paid a large amount of registration fees and was absent from the formal examination was precisely because Mr. Lovegood had an emergency attack the night before, and William woke up after five days in the temple's medical hall.

Whether it was William's difficult upbringing or the heavy fatherly love of Mr. Lovegood, Philip and the two of them were moved.

In their opinion, excluding the rebellious period of the year, William was able to grow into such an excellent teenager today, which is definitely the most healing thing in the world.

There are many poor people in this world, but since they have met, even if it is just out of benevolence, the two of them will not miss the opportunity to help William change his fate.

What's more, he is still such a talented teenager, and it is worth investing in.

After inquiring about Mr. Lovegood's illness and the cost of the medicine, Philip wrote a letter to Aph, promising that the herbs would soon be made into tablets and delivered to William's home.

I believe that under Afu's medical talent, which is very different from the principle of the temple, even if it can't completely cure that genetic disease, it will be greatly improved, at least with the help of medicine, the ability to maintain a normal life should not be a problem.

This gesture won William's great favor, and if it weren't for his greasy hands and Philip's expensive-looking clothes, he would have embraced him.

At this moment, I am afraid that if Young Master Philip asked him to sleep, he would not hesitate to agree.

Well, the mixed-race little grandson still looks very tender.

Sophia, on the other hand, quietly stopped making a sound, just enjoying a special snack that was very different from the Wardsman Empire, and completely handed over the initiative to Philip, because in her opinion, this talent might be more suitable for her boyfriend.

William's abilities are a bit out of the way, not the traditional enhancement class, nor the kind of soul- and god-powered skills favored by the temple, but should be closer to the so-called occultism, that is, the kind of talent that cannot be explained and replicated with the existing basic principles of divine power.

In Philip's classification, this ability should belong to the curse or domain class, which is very rare and has an ungodly effect.

If the awakening is activated, William has two ways to release it.

One is to connect one's own spiritual power tentacles with the opponent's divine power fluctuations, and then release a spiritual power shockwave, and those who are hit or locked will immediately lose the ability to open the awakening.

This ability sounds very similar to Philip's Divine Punishment, but the principle is different.

The locked person will not feel the feeling of being interrupted or regurgitated under the effect of divine punishment and judgment, just like normal awakening, but the agitation of the knot energy caused by the spiritual power on the spiritual core is blocked, and the connection with the body's life energy is lost.

This made him have no effect after opening the awakening, and the most terrifying thing is that the distance of this effect is more than 50 meters, which can last for a full hour.

Another way of release, in William's own research, can also be carried out in a domain-like way, but the distance is shortened to only ten meters square, and it cannot completely seal the awakening effect of all targets in this range, at most it restricts the opponent from using skills with the most basic and minimum amplitude.
