In recent months, the animals of the Lagose Forest have been disturbed by some kind of "monster" from outside, and even large carnivores such as brown bears and cougars are afraid to move.

Knock knock knock!

The sound of heavy footsteps came like an elephant stomping on the ground, and the birds and beasts immediately dispersed, and a tall, short-haired young man ran quickly with a half-man-high boulder on his shoulder. From time to time, they jumped over high slopes or mountain streams, and even jumped high and bounced between the huge trees, and the terrible impact broke one or two thinner tree trunks.

A wolverine retracted into the hole watched the monster go away, sucking the tip of its nose and slowly crawling out, the day had just begun, and it was necessary to catch more prey to feed the few cubs in the nest.

The industrial level and construction capacity of this era allowed the completion date of the dungeon and training equipment to be counted in years. The first phase of the excavation of the Underground Palace took almost a year, and Dali Fernon had deployed the maximum number of manpower and engineering equipment he could to meet the depth and volume of space required by Mr. Howlett Jr.

Together with the reinforcement, arrangement and trimming in the later stage, the preliminary calculations took more than a year and a half to complete. The cultivation equipment needed a certain amount of time to design and test the mold, mainly because the strange "iron shaft" did not have any mechanical templates to cast, and it had to wait until the dungeon was completed to assemble it inside. The rest of the items were relatively easy, and a batch had been minted in the past three months, ready to be shipped to Howlett Manor in the next few days.

So James' recent training has been in the forest with boulders to carry weight, and he now carries the boulders he runs with a weight of about 200 kilograms every day, which is his current limit. Under such a load, he still maintained a speed of more than 100 meters and eight seconds and jumped two meters of vertical height, and the terrifying force contained in it was far more than the relatively ordinary figure of 200 kilograms.

The high-intensity training with weights proved that James had the right understanding of his situation, and he clearly felt a significant improvement in his body's strength, endurance, explosiveness, etc.

James once feared that his mutant genes would not only repair their damaged physical state, but also directly reject the beneficial positive physical evolution, resulting in the body being permanently solidified in a certain constant state.

From the initial weight of 100 kilograms to the current 200 kilograms, James's body shape has changed significantly, and now he is more than 190 centimeters tall and full of muscle entanglements, weighing more than 130 kilograms, and has begun to move closer to Victor's posture, far from being as lean and athletic as a cheetah before.

The amount of food has also increased significantly, and each meal requires three catties of steak, and four meals a day. He was even a little desperate worried about what the hell he would grow to be after the training plan was achieved one after another.

……………

Victoria, the largest port and town on Vancouver Island, was first discovered by the Spanish fleet in 1774 and its rich fur resources soon attracted many other European explorers and traders.

After a series of battles, it eventually became under the control of the British Empire. The original people of the Salish, Nutka and Kwakutel have inhabited the island for thousands of years and are still a large part of the island's population, strictly speaking as a part of the labor and slaves.

In the harbor of this era, you can see the sails of wooden ships and the chimneys of steam ships at the same time.

Danielle Ferent wore a round sunhat, a brown shirt and shorts, and her skin was flushed with the sun. With a pipe in his mouth and a cane, he watched the yellow-skinned aboriginal slave carry his luggage, shouting and cursing from time to time, and with a raunchy yellow beard, it was hard to imagine that this weathered middle-aged man was once a personable and high-achieving student at Oxford College in the British Empire.

His travels in Africa during this time have left him with unpalatable food, unbearable giant mosquitoes, and deadly malaria. He had nearly died on that savage continent, and the splendor of civilization and the snow-white-skinned woman had summoned him back here.

After seven or eight years of traveling and exploring, I finally got a little tired, and maybe it would be a good choice to settle down.

Rose O'Hara, as James' personal maid, would have only been in charge of his personal life and daily life. But James is not really a young master who is not diligent, and he is more used to solving daily affairs by himself.

This made O'Hara angry for a long time, but James was more than happy to let her help him with the family business. Sort all kinds of letters in advance, sift through documents and crop statistics reported from various places, etc.

James told O'Hara that her role was his personal secretary, and that O'Hara had done quite well thanks to the experience of learning from Mr. Danielle together. She didn't know what the word secretary meant, but the title of "private" kept her entertained for days.

As usual, after James had had an overly sumptuous breakfast, he would start his study at nine o'clock, and O'Hara would sort out the latest news and the situation in various places and bring coffee to his desk.

James is very efficient in doing things, and usually arranges things for various places after lunch. In the afternoons, he spent most of his time supervising the work in the basement of the manor, or going to the factory to discuss the casting of his pile of strange objects.

O'Hara looked through the letters and telegrams she had just received in the morning, and suddenly a telegram from Victoria Township, Vancouver Island, made her quickly put it away, and quickly picked up the coffee tray and walked towards the study.

"Young Master! Fast! Guess who sent the telegram! O'Hara excitedly put down the tray and walked around his young master, James looked down at the newspapers and letters that had recently been delivered in the United States, and said in an old-fashioned manner without raising his head: "Steady O'Hara, you are already a big girl, who can send the telegram?" We don't have any distant relatives in our family. ”

"Look!" O'Hara cocked his nose and placed the telegram in front of James, and a brief remark came into view.

"I'll be in Edmond the day after tomorrow to see you, Danielle."

"Mr. Danielle has been gone for many years, and he hasn't even written a letter in the last year, I don't know how he is now, he said that he is going to travel, go on an adventure, there must be a lot of interesting stories!" O'Hara chirped happily and excitedly at James, wondering if Danielle would bring him a present.

"It was indeed a pleasant surprise and an unexpected news." The corners of James's mouth raised a little happy smile, he respected this teacher very much, Danielle Ferent is a very open-minded and relatively advanced scholar, which also made him feel the child's unusual vision to a certain extent in the communication with James.

Due to James's extraordinary talent, Daniel only taught for four years and had no more knowledge to impart, and left to pursue his dream of exploring the world, but the two had already been teachers and friends.

"If you come from Victoria, you will definitely pass through Reddier, and send someone there to wait in advance, and escort Mr. Neil. The recent gold rush is full of restless people. James arranged. O'Hara happily agreed, and then gave the order.

Thinking of Darniel's arrival, James had a question that had been pondering lately, and considering that the teacher had been traveling and adventuring, perhaps he could ask for help and answers from him.

I bowed my head and finished reading the newspaper carefully, paying attention to the further deterioration of the situation in the North and South of the United States, and soon the days of calm would come to an end. It's time to talk to Victor again, it's time for this half-brother who grew up together and was kept in the dark to come out of the stables and the mountains to show what he really does. It's just that I hope Victor can keep his thoughts of humanity and not completely become that fierce saber-toothed tiger.
