Chapter 20: Elders and Testing

readx; After Ashini and the others left and went to the inner courtyard, there came an old man with a large snow-white beard and a hairless head, this old man looked stronger than the average old man, but compared to the younger people, he could only be regarded as thin in stature, but this old man looked very mental and healthy, worthy of the knights' house.

However, if it weren't for the humble shouting of "Hello Monsieur Wenjar" from the person who was still going through the formalities, Carlo would not have thought that the barefoot old man in a simple brown linen dress was an important person.

After communicating with the middle-aged man who went through the formalities, the old man knew Carlo's origin, directly took over the work of the original other party, and took the initiative to leave with Carlo. When the two of them left, the middle-aged man turned to his colleague with a puzzled expression and asked, "Jeff, why did Mr. Wengel lead the way for that little fellow, did he find anything special about this kid?" But I see that the kid's body is very weak, and his heartbeat is fast and weak, don't tell me that the heartbeat will deceive people." ”

"Thoth, you think too much about it, Mr. Wenjar just happened to be walking through here, he is such a person, but I think that little girl of the Hutcherson family is strange, and has spent a great deal of money to qualify as an auditor for a squire who cannot become a knight, and it is strange that he does not tattoo his badge, guess why. ”

"Could it be that this little guy is her little lover, and because she can't bear him, she keeps it by her side?"

"A stupid guy with a ~ head. Jeff slapped Toth the back and said, "Do you know her identity, although she is only a descendant of canonized knights, but her uncle is Dan Neil Hutcherson, who is at odds with the family, but fights against it on his own." ”

"You mean, she's the richest heir in the mystery, a woman who can inherit everything Marquis Daniel has to offer. ”

"That's right, it's her, the status and wealth of Marquis Daniel may not be ranked in Jursiman, but all the grand dukes and dukes have a large number of descendants or distant relatives who divide up everything they have, and only this legendary marquis has no heirs other than her niece, so she is called the richest heir.

So, do you think that in West side this young lady will not have a place where she can put her lover?"

"So, she brought him secretly without her uncle's knowledge?"

"Stupid. Jeff gave him a second palm, but Jeff didn't mean to laugh at Toth, he just bullied this big man who usually couldn't beat him in training by being well-informed, "Didn't you read that document just now, this thing was signed by Marquis Daniel, do you think he would give such a thing to a niece's lover casually?"

"And what are you talking about?" asked a confused Toth.

"Well, how would I know? Jeff waved his hand.

"You don't know, hey, why did you hit me twice? ”

。。。。。。

While Jeff and Toth were arguing over this, Venjar was taking Carlo to his temporary quarters. On the way, Wengel casually asked Carlo about how he came here, and Carlo had already told his lies very smoothly, and in order to make Carlo's identity unflawed, Ashini even helped him fill the flaws.

"So, didn't you come here to study of your own volition?" Wenjar asked, as he suddenly stopped, turned to face Carlo, and asked.

Faced with the old man's sudden and serious questioning, Carlo was startled, but then fell silent, because he had not thought about it, since he met Ashini, everything had been arranged, but after a while, he spoke: "Monsieur Wengel, although I have not been consulted on this matter, if I can learn any skills here, I am actually very happy, no, I should say that I will do my best." ”

"Oh, is it?" After listening to Carlo's words, the old man's tone changed back to his original relaxed appearance, and continued to lead the way: "It sounds like you have experienced something that makes you very upset. ”

"Yes, a lot of times, I feel like I don't, not only can't I help, but I also become a burden, putting my companions in danger, so if I can, I have to learn some skills to protect myself, if not help. ”

"Yes, if that's the case, I'll do my best to help you, and I hope you will show me your determination. ”

"Thank you, sir. Looking at the old man's back, Carlo sincerely thanked him.

。。。。。。。

For the next three days, the old man Wenjar took Carlo around many training grounds in the Knight's Academy, and at the same time let him do a lot of training, in order to test Carlo's basic qualities, and Carlo was also surprised by the enormity of the Knight's Academy, even so, less than two-thirds of the places they had visited, and a third of the places belonged to the Knights' Academy, which Carlo had no right to enter.

In the past three days, Carlo went to the terrain refining field, which is a huge alchemy circle, where more than a dozen different types of environments with a diameter of eight kilometers have been compressed, including the land of mire, the barren land, the land of mountains and forests, the scorching land, the extremely cold land, etc., but because the cost of changing the terrain every time is too expensive, Carlo has experienced two types of terrain, namely the land of mountains and forests and the land of scorching heat, and was asked by Wenjar to run endlessly in it until he couldn't stand it anymore. Carlo was exhausted in the mountains and forests, and almost fainted from the heat in the scorching heat.

Every day, Carlo returned to his temporary place exhausted, and when the next day came, Wengel would come to Carlo on time, and Carlo had already gotten up, although his body seemed to be falling apart, but he still kept the time agreed with the old man.

In the past three days, the test that came out of the alchemy land surprised Carlo the most, and there was also the most puzzling test, and on the third day, Wenjar took Carlo to a small square iron cage, the space was only ten meters, which was the smallest training ground he had ever seen.

"Kids. I don't know when the old man called Carlo like this, this kind of familiar title only appeared in the mouth of Rayban, plus the same old man, Carlo quickly got used to this kind of title, and felt kind.

"The purpose of today's training is mainly to test your endurance, which is not a very pleasant test, but I hope you accept it. ”

The method of this test is very simple, the two are dressed in leather clothes and armed with reinforced wooden sticks, Carlo will dodge or take the attack, of course, Wengel's attack will be based on the strength of the tester, this test is not to cause damage. The test is not over until the test subject admits defeat, or Wenjar voluntarily stops.

However, this test was completely a beating for Carlo, and he could not dodge any of the old man's attacks, except for the first attack, which Carlo blocked with a stick, and every subsequent blow hit him.

After the first block, the force made Carlo's hands numb, and then he was hit on the ass with a stick, then his back, his hands, his thighs, and then I can't remember the following. In the end, Carlo was beaten everywhere except his head.

Seeing Carlo who couldn't stand steadily, the old man put down the stick in his hand and shouted to stop: "Okay, that's enough, the test is here, this is the final test, you can go to the shift tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, the panting and sweaty Carlo fell to the ground with peace of mind, because he felt that the bones in his body seemed to be broken, and he could no longer move.

Wenjar took a towel, helped Carlo wipe his face, and said gently: "Good boy, it's hard work, the last dozen strokes, I'm heavy, you're okay." ”

"I'm fine, but I can barely move now. ”

"I think you're in a lot of pain right now, it's hard to bear, I'm sorry, that's how it is, that's why I said it's unpleasant, but you've done a great job, far beyond my imagination, and you've proven your resolve. ”

"It's okay, the test was painful, but it wasn't as hard to bear as I thought, and to be honest, I was scared at first. Carlo replied as he tried to calm his breathing.

"Can you bear it?" Venjar smiled and stretched out his hand, suddenly squeezing it Carlo's shoulder, and a sharp pain was transmitted along the nerve in Carlo's mind, causing him to grit his teeth. But Wenjar's face lost a smile. He thought that Carlo was holding on hard and not telling the truth, so he made a move, wanting him to be honest, but Carlo really didn't act like he was in pain to the limit. Because except for some people who have undergone special training, or under certain extreme emotions, when the pain reaches the limit, most people will scream, shed tears, etc., and Carlo is obviously not like this, indicating that his tolerance for pain has indeed not reached the limit, but this is very abnormal.

"Son, you told me that you had amnesia and wandered around alone until you met the knight lady named Ashini, and you have no memory of what happened before you, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Wenjar, what's wrong?"

"I'm afraid you were a strong child before you lost your memory, but at the same time, you have been suffering from this terrible pain. ”

Suddenly hearing the information about the amnesia, Carlo was overwhelmed, and trembled and tentatively said, "How do you know?"

Seeing this, Wenjar had a guess in his heart, maybe Carlo had been hit with a terrible blow before, and chose amnesia out of self-preservation, although such examples are rare, but after witnessing the most terrible things on the battlefield with him, there are many such examples among his companions, but they just forgot the most terrible experience, so Wenjar guessed like this, but he didn't say it, he thought that since he had amnesia, let him forget it.

"It's not a big deal. Wenjar sat on the floor, and he tried to talk to him in a nervous posture that Carlo was not in, "I have participated in many battles, and I have suffered countless injuries, and you know, the injuries are always painful, but the more times they go, they will gradually feel less painful, and this kind of thing is very common for knights and warriors.

And the reason why I judge this way is because I have accompanied you through three days of training and testing, and these three days are not for nothing, I have learned the limits of your body, so I have carried out this unpleasant but final test.

So, I know very well that although you are not really injured, every muscle in your body has been beaten to the limit by me, and the pain should be superimposed to the limit of what ordinary people can bear, but you can still bear it, so I guess that although you don't know it, your body may have been used to the pain.

However, don't worry, this is not a bad thing, but it will not have to do a lot of training, at least in the future, there will be no training here to resist hits. ”

"Is that so?" Karlo wondered.

"Of course, you know, when you fight, being able to endure your injuries can prevent you from making many dangerous feelings, and for knights, it is necessary. Okay, that's the end of today, you need to have a good rest, you know, tomorrow we are going to say goodbye, I don't want to see you look weak, we may not see each other for a long time, but you are a good boy, I will miss you. ”

"Mr. Wenjar, aren't you the instructor here?" In the Knights' Academy, the instructor is the instructor here, and the teacher has another meaning.

"It's very hugging, kid, I'm not, and I rarely come here, so the day before yesterday we met was actually a kind of fate. ”

"I see, Mr. Wenjar, you are very much like my grandfather... I mean, you make me feel like a relative, so I'm going to miss you, too. Carlo almost uttered Raibban's name, but swallowed it later.

On this day, Wengel carried Carlo back to his temporary place and prepared a bath bucket for him, which was full of decoction to help Carlo recover, Carlo thought that this was the treatment that every tester had, but it was not the case. And when Wenjar left, his mood was a little melancholy and low. In the end, I was tired and fell into a deep sleep.

He had a dream, this dream was very vague, it was pitch black all around, and he could only vaguely see the figure of a boy in the corner, where he was moaning in pain, screaming alone, and suddenly the face in the darkness drew closer to him, and became very clear, the face was him, but it made him feel strange and terrible, the face was full of pain and resentment, and the red eyes were staring at him tightly, as if to tear him apart.

Then Carlo woke up screaming, and it was already dawn.
