Chapter 25 Breakthrough

These two small things, especially seeing Erin intimate with other men, actually had an effect on Richard, but he didn't know it at the time.

The next morning, the whole bay was still asleep. As the winter deepens, the eternal night is approaching, and it is still early before the sun appears, but this does not affect the brightness of the outdoors at all, the ground, hills, vegetation, inland rivers, and ice cubes everywhere, all frozen solidly, refracting and reflecting the light of the blue and white lineage. Only the sea in the harbor is still rippling.

Richard, who had no intention of sleeping, stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window more than ten meters high, silently looking down at the magnificence of the cold and slaughter of the ice floe bay. After exhaling a heavy breath of accumulated turbidity, he suddenly felt that his vision was much wider, and his heart was also stretched, almost enough to accommodate the entire floating ice bay. In front of the grand space, the darkness of the past few seasons leaves only a faint trace. Although it may stay with Richard for a long, long time, or even a little sting every time I think of it for the rest of my life, every memory, every pain, is a treasure after I walk out.

Richard began to open his eyes and observe the world around him. The first person to come into sight is the person who is in the shape of ** in the dark blue. The most exposed were still the magisters who taught them, but in Richard's eyes, they were no longer alchemical machines that only poured out their knowledge, but became living humans, elves, dwarves, and even dark elves.

Magisters also have their own joys, sorrows, and interests, and they look at each person differently, and their attitudes towards others are also different. Every gesture, a raised eyebrow, and even the same words, different speeds and tones, all reflect different conclusions in Richard's real world. As he learned more about the Magisters, and observed more and more carefully, and the number of samples in his memory that could be compared, Richard suddenly realized that there was something hidden behind the many words and expressions that the teachers said. And these hidden things are gradually being lifted by him.

Magisters are in different realms, and therefore have different relationships. Some areas are very similar, while others are unrelated. Magus in similar fields tend to have a bad relationship, and there are even **naked trampling on each other, such as ** Vicky and Riley. The relationship between the Magisters in unrelated fields is much more harmonious, and many are still good friends. After observing this, Richard meditated and realized that the key word that unites these phenomena is competition, and behind the competition is the interests represented by gold coins.

When he opened his eyes, Richard knew a lot more about it. For example, now, he finally knew why so many geometry, mathematics, painting, and magic array courses had suddenly been added, and he had heard about his future identity as a 'Holy Constructor'.

"It turns out that the teacher wants to train himself in the direction of a constructor......" Richard thought silently. Although he was a teenager who grew up in the mountains, after more than a year in Deep Blue, Richard's vision and open-mindedness were no longer the boy who didn't know anything back then. However, although the builder was of great status, he was as light as water in Richard's mind. Under the subtle influence of Elani for ten years, Richard did not know that he actually had a big heart that was not shocked.

But in any case, now that he knows what the teacher expects of him, Richard will not let her down. The children in the mountains are stubborn, and they also have a clear love and hate. Richard was very smart, and his many hardships and twists and turns made him far more mature than his peers, and now that he knew his special place in the dark blue, he knew better how many people would go crazy with the joy of his monthly teacher. And many people with ulterior motives, although their eyes were full of jealousy, ** and plunder every time they looked at Richard, they still kept a certain distance from him, and they didn't dare to use the conspiracy on him at will.

Moreover, Richard had already discovered that no matter where he went, there would always be one or two people who followed him from afar. Whether it was Richard's own feelings, or the glaring glances in the crowd that went from malice to fear, he could know that this was not surveillance, but protection. In this way, whenever he thinks of the teacher's arrogant personality and the characteristics of loving money like life, Richard will always have a faint warmth in his heart.

It was the only warmth Richard had ever had this winter.

Fortunately, in the midst of the chaos, Richard's studies were not affected in the slightest, and instead he was thriving in the world of magic. Only when he thinks of this, his preliminarily mature heart will be a little relieved.

Spend winter like winter, and then before you know it, spring has arrived again. After the day's schoolwork was over, Richard dragged his tired body back to his quarters, and when he passed the lonely steel puppet standing in the corner, he suddenly remembered that it was his birthday again.

Except for the intact head, the steel doll has long been twisted and deformed, and it is almost impossible to see what it was supposed to be. It was all the result of Richard using the burst of bloodline ability to hit again and again. And the walls near it are also covered with large and small potholes, which are the marks of being hit by steel dolls.

Richard walked over to the doll and reached out to gently caress the mottled dents on it. There are sharp hems in the dents, as well as sharp cracks. And it was not only his fists that left dents, but also elbows, shoulders, knees, and even a skull. In more than one dent, there were stains of blood that had been old for some time.

Feeling the faint tingling pain from his fingertips, and looking at the blood stains, Richard realized that the winter he thought had passed in a busy and peaceful manner was actually not silent at all. Those pains have always been there, but they are hidden so deep that they almost thought they had forgotten about it.

The steel doll's head is intact, and the smooth and round surface reflects Richard's somewhat distorted face. The puppet is in a dilapidated state, with only a thin line of connection between multiple materials, and perhaps it will detach from the main body after another blow. Richard smiled, reached out and patted the doll's face, and strode towards the bedroom.

On the second day, there was a drawing class. After listening to the whole class of art appreciation theory, more than a dozen students politely handed in their homework drawings in turn, and then left one after another. Richard was the last to come up. For some reason, seeing Richard, who was still a teenager, the master suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and his gaze subconsciously avoided Richard's eyes. As long as he remembered the 'paintings' handed over by Richard, the master felt like a wet and cold creature attached to his body, and he couldn't shake it off, and he was as sad as he was.

The master's gaze swept over Richard's assignment and was relieved to find that it was only a small painting 30 centimeters square.

This is a landscape painting of an ice bay in winter, showing the cold, the slaughter and the magnificence with Richard's usual brushstrokes. In contrast to the dark frenzy of previous works, this painting has finally returned to normalcy in a rare way, although the power contained in the lines still makes the master feel faintly cold. When he breathed a sigh of relief, the master suddenly noticed that Richard was looking at him intently, and his faint sapphire blue pupils were bottomless.

"Does this painting look much more comfortable?" Richard's soft words instantly made the master break out in a cold sweat! Instinctively, he jumped up from his chair and almost tripped over the corners of his robe. But he didn't care about the wolf, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Richard, and said, "You ....... you ........"

In contrast, Richard was as calm as an iceberg, and the smile on his face was even more elegant and beautiful, looking like a demonic whispering temptation. But no matter how tempting the demon's murmur is, the master knows the terrible price to be paid behind the temptation, that is, the soul will fall into the abyss forever! Looking at Richard's rare smiling expression, the cold sweat that slid down the master's spine was even more, and what made him feel even more chilling was that if I remember correctly, Richard was just twelve years old!

The master was tempted to ask Richard how he knew how he felt, but the words came to his lips, but there was no mouth. Whatever Richard did know, he knows now. And after calming down a little, the master knew that Richard must have something to say. This twelve-year-old kid gave him a feeling of complete incomprehension. And those paintings are always a reminder to the master of how crazy the young man in front of him is in his heart.

The master took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, took out the proper appearance of a teacher, sat down, and motioned for Richard to sit down as well. Richard did not sit down, but like any ordinary apprentice asking for a coursework, he first bowed respectfully to the master, and then asked with well-trained etiquette and grace: "Master, first of all, I would like to ask you to tell me about what the world of the constructor is like." ”

The master was stunned, shook his head, and said, "I'm not a constructor, but just a twelveth-level useless mage. If you want to know about the builder, you should ask the Archmage Phil who taught you, or the Archmage Hulu, who are much better at building the Pattern than I know......"

Richard interrupted the master and said, "No, I don't want to ask about the expertise of demonic pattern construction, but I want to know what a builder has to do in the outside world, what responsibilities they have, and how they live. Also, what are the famous architects out there, their life experiences before and after they became famous, their deeds, etc., I want to know this. Mr. Phil or Mr. Hulu spend most of their time in the dark blue, unlike when you have traveled to the mainland and have been the guest of honor of the royal families of the three empires. You must know more about these things. ”

Richard's question made the master stunned again, and he couldn't understand why Richard was asking such things that were indistinguishable from anecdotes. However, the master immediately thought of a possibility, and felt a little incredible, according to common sense, this is by no means something that a twelve-year-old child should consider. But out of caution, he asked, "Why do you know this?"

"Because I wanted to be a Builder, I needed to know what the Builder's world was like and how I could go further in the Builder's world. Knowing the lives of the great architects, both in history and in reality, we can know what setbacks they have had and what experiences they have. At least, the mistakes they made before, I don't want to do it a second time. Richard replied. After a pause, he added, "The world of the builder is different from what others see." ”

The master instantly broke out in a cold sweat, which was exactly what he had just thought of.

At this time, he can't refuse, and from a simple emotional point of view, he is willing to pass on his knowledge to the child in front of him. These days, through the silent communication of those images, the master looked at Richard and always felt that it was a little different from the other students.

He gathered his thoughts for a moment and said slowly, "Well, first of all, my opinion is that the builders are not just miracle workers, they should be called nightmare weavers. It is because of them that the ultimate armed construction knight has appeared. Fortresses, levels, and mountain passes, which are considered to never fall, are all smashed one by one under the iron hooves of the constructed knights. The emergence of the Structur changed the war, changed the pattern of the continent, and allowed Norland to greatly accelerate the expansion of the heteroplane. Without them, the world would have been a different place, and not so many lives would have been lost......"

In other words, the Builder is actually the creator of the War Legion. Richard interrupted the master's artistic exclamation and aria, and summarized it succinctly.

"You can say that, but ......." The master was very reluctant that Richard Jr. would come to such a conclusion, and still tried to struggle, but after thinking about it, he had to say, "Well, what you said is right. Just as the meaning of the legendary profession is to pose a mortal threat to the royal family and the great nobility of a country, because no matter what the profession, the legendary character can become the most dangerous assassin. Constructors, on the other hand, are respected because they are the destroyers of the state. A legion of Constructed Knights, even with only one squad, is enough to defeat a large army of more than 10,000 people. Now, let's start with Master Lordendal, the first true constructor on the continent......"

The master's comments were concise and vivid, and in just a few words, a once powerful constructor seemed to be in front of him. These constructors used their wisdom and genius to create a large number of legions of constructors, and each constructor will be deeply imprinted with the imprint of their constructors. Each builder's creation is different, and it's a world where you can show off your personality and talent, and the most famous builders in history have all left their masterpieces for posterity, such as Solomon's illusionary suit, Lugadi's Scarlet Knight, and St. Peter's heavenly armour. There are also a large number of builders who try to imitate and follow in the footsteps of the masters, but these true masters are always imitated, but never surpassed.

It took a full hour for the master to sketch out an outline of the history of the constructor. If you want to elaborate, I am afraid it is not a work that can be completed in ten days and a half months.

After the master had taken a short break, Richard said, "Thank you, master." My second request is for you to introduce me to someone. ”

The master nodded and said, "I know a lot of people in Deep Blue, and I should say that I have some friendship with most of the more special people. I don't know what kind of person you need me to introduce you? woman? haha!"

The master's sneer did not make Richard laugh, he lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he raised his head as if he had made up his mind and said, "I want to find someone who can teach me to kill." ”
