Chapter 10: Dusty History
Francie had a long, real dream, and he saw the back of a knight, his armor stained with bright red blood, but his back looked very gloomy. Immediately afterward, he dreamed that his sister kept running forward in front of him, and he couldn't catch up with him anyway. There was so much information in this dream that Furcy only felt that he had seen the rise and fall of an entire continent. But the last scene of this dream was extremely real, he only felt that he had a sword in his hand, and he became the knight, the back of that Xiao Suo. It felt too real, as if it wasn't a dream, but a life he had experienced, a story that he had experienced in his own mind.
"Death or conquest, blood or bones. The road of the strong is destined to be full of loneliness, you have to defeat many enemies, but you also have to overcome time. Do not look back, for you cannot see the way you came. The small library seemed to be more and more a solace for Furcy's soul, and he could always find it in this place to settle his restless heart. There are all kinds of books in this library, and this "Self-Description of the Swordsman Camus" is the only autobiography here about a Sword Saint powerhouse of the Apocalypse Order. The book does not talk about how to become stronger, does not talk about his path to strength, nor does it talk about his achievements, but only tells the mental journey of an ordinary swordsman, which happens to help Francie adjust his heart that has become impetuous due to pressure.
"But the only thing I can do is be stronger. Because what I'm facing -- it's a challenge from fate. Furcy glanced at the glare of sunlight outside the window, about his cultivation for today was about to begin.
The city of Constantine was founded in the Holy Church era, and the city was originally seen according to the specifications of the northern imperial capital, and there was no Byzantine Empire in the Holy Church era, and it was still a grand duchy under the complete control of the Church. Later, due to wars and several southward expansions of the snow circle, the city of Constantine, although it was eventually built when Byzantium was still a principality, did not become an imperial capital, but only existed as the largest trading and religious city in the north. At that time, there were many heresies, monsters were rampant, and people built a lot of gladiatorial arenas and arenas in the city of Constantine in order to test their combat effectiveness and entertainment, and many of these buildings have been well preserved. Others of these, which became the property of the Inquisition.
"Now that you've settled down at the first-order level, I'm going to teach you some practical martial arts today. In the small, empty arena, Ridno's voice was unusually loud.
"Fighting skills!" Folcy learned early on from the book that the way to attack the melee profession is to fight the enemy through fighting skills, combat skills, and awakening skills. Among them, the fighting skills are the most basic, and they are also the root of all the complicated moves, the last time he suddenly encountered the Bloods on the Twilight Strip, Francie also saw Hayson use combat skills. These things made Furcy extremely fascinated.
"It's just that before you learn these things, I only have two things I want to tell you. The first is not to go against your heart in order to become stronger, and the second is that sometimes you have to learn to endure and endure a lot of great pain, and I hope you don't break down because of it. For a moment, Ferssey didn't understand what Deno meant by "great pain," but Deno didn't give him time to react. In the next second, a figure exuding murderous intent appeared in front of Felsey.
"Am I dead?" Francie didn't know where he was now, or what his body was. He only felt as if he was floating in chaos. He couldn't feel his body, as if now only his body was drifting. Just now, Deno easily crushed his limbs in his completely defenseless state, and he fainted before he could even fully feel the pain. Just as Furcy's thoughts were still drifting around because of this inexplicable chaos, the light around him suddenly dimmed, and everything was silent and pitch black.
"Is this really dead?" As Furcy tried to find out if there was any light around him, four huge flames fell from his head, crashing into the darkness below. At this time, Francie realized that he was suspended on a continent, and the four flames fell in the four directions of the continent.
"Mortals who seek to challenge the majesty of the gods, you will be subjected to the unending wrath of the gods until you are destroyed. At this moment, a voice full of majesty came from the heavenly dome above Felsey's head, but Felsey had not yet seen what the so-called "wrath of the gods" was, and his eyes were as if the camera had switched to a movie, and he saw another image that surprised him even more.
"Isn't this the dream of that day?!" Furcy saw the back of the sloomy knight in front of his eyes again, but this time he saw not only this back, but also the scene in front of this back. I saw that the knight was on a small hillside, and beside him was a blackened and withered dwarf tree, but a small green new leaf grew from the top of a branch of this seemingly lifeless dwarf tree. And under this hillside, there are countless armies like ant colonies, and many strong men who exude a terrifying aura.
"Don't worry, you can grow quietly, and my battle with them won't disturb you. Just when Foxy was still surprised by the number of strong men this knight faced, this knight's words made Elsey lose his ability to think for a moment, and he was completely stunned. Because this voice is clearly his voice, although this voice is more mature and hoarse, it is impossible for a person to mistake his own voice.
"Why?!" too many questions popped through Furcy's mind for a while, but the space he was in didn't give him time to think like that, and just when his mind was in chaos, the scene in front of him suddenly changed into an endless starry sky.
"The advent of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is known as the last miraculous manifestation, and this divine punishment also directly led to the end of the mythological age. However, the curse of God did not disappear because of the concealment of miracles, no matter how completely the chaos of the Heavenly Awakening was quelled, there would be an Apocalypse Awakening every hundred years, and every Apocalypse Awakening would once again bring chaos and war to the continent...... "The sigh of an old man kept echoing in Furcy's ears, the Apocalypse Awakening and the four flames he saw should be connected by necessity, but why did he hear his own voice. Furcy had always thought that he was just an ordinary member of the Heidewütz family, but now he felt that this time, even if the family did not die, his rebirth would not be so peaceful and simple.
"I don't know what kind of effect this drop of mad snow wolf essence blood will bring? It's not good to rely on foreign objects to improve strength after all, after all, this is also a 'alchemy' forbidden by the church, and we don't know what effect this drop of blood will bring. The empty arena was still quiet, except that in the center of the arena was a huge water tank, and inside it was a jar of dark red viscous juice that looked like boiling water, and in this vat of viscous juice was floating and floating in Falsy. And Deno was standing with William, chatting casually.
"There are a lot of things I can't say, and you won't understand. William's heart suddenly appeared with the face of an old man, and that old man was the real powerhouse.
"Actually, this kid is not surnamed Rosberg, I'm afraid he is your own nephew, and his name should be - Furcy Heidewtz. After such a long time, from William's attitude, he also saw some clues.
"Even if you know what. Deno, there are some things that we can't see through or unravel. It's like the fate of the Heide Wootz family. When he said "the fate of the Heidewutz family", William said these words in a voice that only he could hear, as if these words were burdened with many dusty past events and heavy stories.
"Looks like there shouldn't be a problem, he should be waking up soon. After this bath, his body should be able to withstand the next training. I'll leave the rest to you, and the 'Blood Cup' will probably be able to reach Constantine in another seven or eight days, and we really won't be able to take care of this kid at that time." William didn't look back at Furcy, he didn't want to say anything, the path was his choice, and he needed to take responsibility for his choice.
"Seven or eight days...... Deno touched his stubble, and then asked tentatively, "How are you doing now?"
"Even if you know that you are dead, will you not go up? We are all chess pieces in the hands of the presiding judge, and it is impossible for us to go our own way without the hands of the chess holders. William didn't answer Deno's question directly, but calmly walked to the exit of the arena.
"Sure enough, it's down to the legend of the Three Spirits, but looking at you like this, it doesn't look like an attitude of going back to die, that's very sure. This guy ...... Sure enough, the people of the Heide Wootz family were incomprehensible. Deno shook his head, William's character had been like that since the first day they had known each other. Then Deno looked back at Foxy who was soaking in the water tank, and was speechless for a while, both of these uncles and nephews were out-and-out "crazy".
Despite being in the north, the August afternoon sun in Constantine was not at all mild, but rather like a return of light, as fierce as the sun cast by the sun in the June sky. Fox only felt a dazzling white light in front of his eyes, making it impossible for him to close his eyes again. So the next moment, he woke up very simply.
"Counting the time, you've got an extra hour of sleep. Deno's voice appeared behind Foxy like a ghost. Furcy was somewhat relieved to know that this time he wasn't dead. Immediately, he felt a tingling and burning sensation in his skin.
"You're now soaked in the blood of a diluted snow wolf. I smashed your body before to help you absorb this essence and blood faster and better, and time is short, so I can only use some extreme methods. ”
"The 'Blood Cup' is coming?!" Foxie reacted instantly, and after all those dream-like scenes, he felt that his brain seemed to become more flexible.
"Yes, so I'm coming to an end of my teaching, and you only have five days left to learn from me what you're going to learn. Deno stood in front of the water tank and looked at Furcy, the young man's talent was definitely not the best, but his heart was the toughest of all the young people he had ever seen.
"It's time to put an end to this bathing life. Foxy muttered to himself that he now had another secret to find out the results of.
The setting sun dyed the sky of Constantine as red as blood, and even the clouds floating in the sky were like flames, and the last sunlight hit the walls and ground of the arena through the gaps in the walls of the arena, so the figure of Furcy who fell to the ground was also pulled out by this ray of sunlight for a long shadow.
"One hundred and sixth!" Felsey's low roar echoed through the arena. Even the body that had been strengthened with the essence blood of the mad snow wolf felt extremely tired and painful under the training. And this is only the beginning of a blast step, by instantly calling a few energy to stimulate the muscles of the legs, to achieve the most simple and rough short-distance sprint acceleration, this is the effect given by a blast step. Although the effect is obvious, this burden on Furcy's body is also extremely huge, even if the muscles are tough enough to ensure that they will not be torn apart by such training, Furcy's still has to endure great pain.
Sweat drips on the uneven ground, and the fine and light dust scatters and flies the moment the sweat touches the ground, as if a tiny dandelion has sown its seeds. And it is at this moment that the little hope for the future of Furcy gradually blossoms from these ordinary things.
