Chapter 8: The Warrior's Enlightenment

Sitting back in the carriage, Roy stretched, his tense spirit finally relaxed.

After all, the efforts of this small half a year have not been in vain, and now that this improved spiritual power compound crossbow has been confirmed to be taken over by Master John, he is still very relieved about this.

It can be seen that Master John also has a great interest in the spiritual power compound crossbow, and the two have been discussing together for a long time. If the old man was just trying to do something perfunctory, there was no need to waste that much time.

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help but pat Harvey on the shoulder excitedly: "It's done, you've really helped a lot!" Where are you going to go next? I'll be with you. ”

Harvey rolled his eyes weakly: "The ghost knows how long it will take you, I made an appointment with my girlfriend to roll the sheets later, don't follow me anymore, I thank Ning!" ”

“…… Or will you play. ”

Roy shook his head helplessly, "Tomorrow is Monday, you can take it easy, we are in the last school year, and I remember that you have been failing the attendance at the school." ”

Harvey scoffed, "So what? Lao Tzu is the inheritor, and after graduation, I will enter the inheritor college with ironclad admirability, and the school will not dare to withhold my graduation certificate. Otherwise, if the cultivation of this genius is delayed, who would dare to take responsibility? ”

This little fat man doesn't care about learning at all, but he's lazy and paddling.

The school they attended was called the Kassel Elementary School. The primary school admits children between the ages of 11 and 15 for a total of four school years, and the school teaches the most basic literacy, numeracy, general knowledge, history and etiquette.

Children from ordinary families, after obtaining their diploma at a primary college, are eligible to find most jobs in Sidney.

And if you want to go further, you need to apply for a higher education.

Those who want to learn martial arts will choose the Martial Arts College, and those who want to study literature can choose the Liberal Arts College.

After graduation, the former will be incorporated into the West German Army, or join the World Tree's strategy group.

The latter can enter the administration of the Sidney Temple, or participate in the logistics of the World Tree.

In short, as long as you have the money to study, you are free to plan your future life goals.

But the inheritors are different. The essence of the inheritor is that he is a warrior with great strength, and it is their vocation to fight.

Because of the scarcity of inheritors, each inheritor is Sidney's most valuable asset.

After graduating from the Elementary Academy, all Bearers are required to obey the arrangements of the Sidneyan Temple and are required to enroll in the Inheritor Academy.

This is both the right and the obligation of the inheritor.

The Inheritor's Academy teaches Inheritors how to control their powers, and upon graduation, Inheritors can choose to attack the World Tree or join the advanced institutions of the Sidney Temple.

Anyway, no matter how you choose, every one is a good way out, and the treatment will not be low.

Package distribution + golden rice bowl, the inheritor is a well-deserved person in Sidnia.

It was with this in mind that Harvey was not interested in his studies at primary college.

It's just that Roy saw another layer.

He understands that behind the privileged class, the inheritor itself means facing more dangers and taking on more responsibilities.

The Arnold family has also produced many inheritors before, and they have lived by raiding the World Tree for generations, don't look at the glamorous clothes of the nobles, this is actually a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife.

Many members of the Arnold family were sacrificed when they attacked the World Tree.

Roy still remembers that in the years when he was born, there were still more than a dozen of Arnold's retainers' guards.

And this year, there are only five veterans left who follow his father Renault to raid the World Tree.

Among them, there are many skilled and experienced warriors who have sacrificed their lives.

They're only at the first level of the World Tree.

And he, Roy, as the inheritor, is going to attack a higher level of the world in the future! This is the destiny of the inheritor.

If you don't lay a good foundation since childhood, how can you survive in a high-level world?

It was with this in mind that Roy began to plan his path to becoming stronger in the year he awakened at the age of ten to become an inheritor.

Customizing a weapon for himself, as he did today, was part of his plan.

Harvey thought he was making toys.

However, Roy does not laugh at Harvey's naivety and short-sightedness.

After all, he is a human being, and he has experienced a period of working life with a gloomy future because he is young and strong, so he will plan his future life for a longer time.

And when Roy puts himself in Harvey's shoes - his family has been in business for generations, and he doesn't know the hardships of raiding the World Tree. The family is well-off, and even women are called to come, and they don't know how to write the word "bitter" at all.

Moreover, he was only fourteen years old.

In this case, it would be surprising if he could still improve himself as hard as Roy.

When people gain something, they also lose something.

What stage of life will he reach to understand what kind of truth, and now even if Roy persuades Harvey to study hard and work hard to become stronger, he will definitely not listen.

As the carriage passed by Arnold's mansion, Harvey dropped Roy out of the carriage and let out an excited pig cry to meet his young girlfriend.

Roy returned to the mansion to find Renault standing in the main hall, talking to a middle-aged man in a white lab coat.

It wasn't until Renault sent off the lab coat that Roy came over.

"Hans is injured."

Renault's face was sad, "He was bitten on his right leg in the fight with the steppe wolf, and when we came back, his right leg had been completely corroded and could not be saved at all." ”

The first layer of the World Tree: "The Irlan Plains", the most common monster is the steppe wolf.

However, only the steppe wolf at the level of the wolf king has the ability to corrode, and I think that Renault and his party must have encountered a vicious battle on the way to the raid.

Roy opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

Of the five remaining guards of the Arnold family, he was most familiar with Hans.

Because he is the chief of the guard, he is the strongest and most patient of the five, and at the same time serves as Roy's tutor, usually responsible for teaching him basic swordsmanship and combat skills.

In Roy's impression, in the entire Arnold mansion, except for Renault, Hans had the highest force value.

Such a well-trained fighter was seriously wounded?

"Can I go see him?" Roy asked.

Renaud sighed: "Go ahead, but you need to pay attention to the words." You should understand what the loss of a leg means for a fighter. ”

Roy nodded.

He came to the ward lightly, and when several guards guarding the hospital bed saw him, they all bowed their heads respectfully and said hello to the young master.

Hans lay on the hospital bed without moving, the anesthetic from the operation had not yet passed, and he was still in a semi-comatose state.

This is a middle-aged man in his early forties, and his haggard physical condition makes the wrinkles on his face more obvious and profound.

The bottom half of the sheet had been soaked red with blood, and his entire right leg had been amputated, with circles of bandages directly bandaged at the base of his thigh.

Battered so badly, his career as a warrior was over.

It's not the first time Roy has seen someone seriously injured, maimed, or even killed.

It's just that, Hans, as half of his teacher, always felt a little bad in his heart when he saw him fall.

There is nothing more cruel to a warrior than never being able to fight.

"Uncle Hans." Roy half-crouched in front of the sickbed and called softly.

In the haze, Hans heard his voice, opened his eyes with great difficulty, and turned his head to look at him.

"It's a shame for a warrior to have a leg gnawed off by a brute."

He said in a low voice, but he still had the strength to joke, "Young master, I'm sorry, I made you a negative teaching material." You must not learn from me in the future, it's a shame to be thrown home. ”

He tried his best to make a relaxed and open-minded expression, perhaps subconsciously, he didn't want to leave any psychological shadow on the young master.

"You're not doing negative teaching materials."

Roy said seriously, "Uncle Hans, thank you for your contribution to the Arnold family, I will always be proud of you. ”

Hans pursed the corners of his mouth and turned his head: "Young master, don't say this, I'm still alive and well, how can it be like goodbye!" ”

Roy knew that Hans was in a bad state now, so he didn't continue, and after saying hello, he left the ward with the guards.

Today's dinner time was spent in a depressing atmosphere.

Before returning to the bedroom, Roy glanced back at Renault, who was sitting at the chair of the dining table.

During the weekday meal, Renault would ask Roy about his studies that day and chat with him casually.

But tonight, he just remained silent and didn't say a word.

As the head of the family, Renault has so many things to consider.

Hans, as a retainer of the Arnold family, even if he loses his combat effectiveness, the Arnold family still has to take good care of him.

As long as he is alive, Renault will not pay him a penny less.

The lack of an important combat force in the house, and at the same time having to shoulder the living expenses of the retired retainers, this is a big blow to the Arnold family, which is not wealthy.

Now they can hold out for a few more years, but once the finances start to make ends meet, the Arnold family will have to sell the collection left by their ancestors, and then the house and land.

The gradual loss of everything that was once proud of it was the greatest humiliation for the nobility, and it was more painful than the death penalty.

Roy sighed silently in his heart.

Although he wanted to help, Renault would definitely not agree, and would only let him go to school with peace of mind.

This young body, grow up quickly!
