Chapter 45: Justin

Horn searched in the direction of the sound and saw that in the corner of the wall, there was a stone bed on which a man was lying. The corner was so dark that Horn hadn't seen him just now.

At this time, the man on the stone bed was lying on the bed, covered with a blanket. Outside the blanket is a fairly delicate face, especially the eyes that are shining with fine dripping, and at first glance it is a particularly clever kind of person.

Horn walked over and looked at his face, remembering that this Justin was the one who had been injured outside the castle yesterday. Last night I heard Adair say that Justin was being treated by the "old madman" Haobot. Then this is the inside of Dupont's castle, and the gray-robed old man just now is what Adel called the "old madman" Haobot.

Horn nodded at Justin and said, "I'm Horn, how are you doing?"

Justin nodded and said, "With Master Haobot here, it's not so easy to die......

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, his face turned pale and he twitched.

Horn thought he had triggered an injury, and hurriedly said, "If your injury is not good, don't speak." ”

Justin shook his head and smiled reluctantly, "It's not an injury, it's a bad thing...... If you don't talk about this, are you hurt too?"

Horn smiled wryly and recounted what had happened in the morning.

Justin smiled and comforted, "This is how Mr. DuPont trains, and that's how we started with it. But on the other hand, we came in at a higher level than you, and we basically activated the Force, so it was easy to deal with that puppet. ”

When Horn heard that he was not the only one who was treated like this, his psychological grievances were much better. It's just that a way like DuPont, where you can come to learn art as long as you have money, it is impossible for everyone who comes to learn art to have a seven-level level. He asked, "DuPont's money-only way of running a school, can't everyone come to the same level as you?"

Justin nodded and said, "That's right, in fact, the students who come here are basically students who haven't broken through the sixth level, and there are really few people who can stand this kind of training like Dupont." ”

After a pause, he said with a wry smile: "Actually, DuPont's method is really effective, like me in my hometown, it can be said that I am very talented, and when I was fourteen years old, I broke through the sixth level and reached the seventh level, and developed the Force." But no matter how much you train, it will be difficult to advance, and you have been hovering at level seven for several years. It wasn't until a year ago that I spent a lot of money to study with Mr. DuPont that I made a breakthrough and reached the eighth level. However, his training method will not work without perseverance and endurance. ”

Horn nodded, agreeing with Justin's words. Just like today, several times he wanted to just give up and let the puppet kill him. If it weren't for the fact that the will was still strong, it stiffened up. However, the left rear was still knocked out by the puppet because of his lack of support. sighed: "It's true that this way is very bad, and today I was knocked out by that puppet before I came in." What about people like they can't stand it?"

"What else can I do, I basically can't bear it for a few days, I have been asking my family to redeem people for days, and I quit school directly. Justin shrugged.

Horn was surprised and said, "Ransom?

Justin looked hateful and said, "I haven't heard of it." Most people who come here have already paid their tuition fees. This is voluntary, and if you can't stand the way of training and voluntarily drop out, the tuition fee will not be refunded, which is common sense. However, our DuPont teacher has a beautiful rule, if a student voluntarily drops out of school before the study period is reached, then he must pay the so-called reputation loss fee. According to Mr. DuPont, these students who dropped out of school halfway had nothing to learn and dropped out of school halfway, which would cause a loss of their reputation, so if they wanted to drop out, they had to pay a reputation loss fee of 2,000 gold coins, otherwise they had to stay until the end of their studies. Do you think there is such a reason? I think he is squeezing gold coins in the name of dropping out of school. No wonder people outside call him a vampire behind their backs......"

Horn was speechless for a moment, this Dupont can no longer be described as bloodsucking, this is the rhythm of swallowing even bones.

After a moment of silence, Horn broke the silence and said, "Don't talk about that vampire, is that gray-robed old man just now the old madman Hao Bot?"

Justin was stunned and asked, "How do you know?"

"Adel sued me. Horn explained.

Justin was originally a person who liked to talk, and as soon as he said Haobot, he immediately came to his senses and said: "Speaking of Haobot, you can't fail to mention a legendary character - Canduret, Candurey you should have heard of it, right?"

Horn was stunned, Candure had not only heard of it, but he had also entered his magic tower. He even had the item he had set aside in his hand - "Variety", which was the key to enter the magic tower at that time, and this thing also saved his life several times. "Yes, that legendary demigod." But what does Haobot have to do with him?"

Justin showed a look of "you don't know, right?" and said, "Hao Bote's surname is Evangel, and Candure's surname is also Evangel, what do you say is their relationship?"

Horn was really surprised at this time, and said: "Could it be that Habot is a descendant of Candure......

Justin nodded and said, "That's right, Habot is a direct descendant of Candure. Isn't that a bit of a madman, and the legend says that Candure is not only magical, but also known for his madness. The various potions and items he created caused a stir, some of which could increase mana, some of which could increase power, and the most famous one was that the "Book of Wishes" could make a magician have endless magical power, what a genius, what a madness, and what a madman would dare to imagine......"

Justin said excitedly, he was most interested in all kinds of strange things in the mainland, and when he talked about various legends, he didn't even notice that Horn was in a daze.

Horn couldn't help but think that the experience of the Wailing Mountains was not only the thrilling journey of the first half of the group of six with Kim. In the Land of Sighs, the scene of nine deaths made him sigh even more.

"Hey...... What are you thinking?" Justin had finished speaking, but realized that Horn was not paying attention at all.

Horn came back to his senses, not wanting to tell Justin about his time in the magic tower in Candure, and said casually, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what you ask to call Hobot crazy." ”

Hearing this, Justin's originally excited expression suddenly collapsed, and he said with a sad face: "This old madman, basically like his ancestors, loves to create zĂ o, does not study good magic, and does not know what potions are pouring all day long. As long as any medicine is invented, it must be realized in us. I don't know what those potions are, whether they have any effect or not. The most terrible thing is the inexplicable side effects, which make people die and live......"

Speaking of this, Horn couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Since there are side effects, then you still let him be real?"

Jax looked helpless and said, "We don't want to, but injuries like this are inevitable." It's too expensive to find that vampire, and it can only be tossed by such a madman. We can't control how he wants to treat him, we can only listen to him. ”

Horn couldn't help but rejoice at the thought that he hadn't let the madman Haubert do anything on him today.

The two chatted again, and Horn walked out of the castle, strangely he didn't meet Hao Bote, but thinking about the castle, it's quite big, so it's estimated that he should do it in that place.

By the time Horn struggled out of the castle, it was already completely dark. The stone pillar was empty, and Adair and the other students had probably gone back. I didn't expect to be in a coma for an afternoon. At that moment, he dragged his tired body to the iron cable.

As soon as I arrived at the stone pillar, I looked at the iron rope hidden in the darkness, and my head ached. It's just that if you don't go back, you won't have anything to eat. I can only climb the rope with my hands and feet, and move little by little.

In mid-air, the cold wind of the night made my body shiver. The muscles ached, like a knife cut. Horn gritted his teeth and climbed over the cable. When he arrived on the other side, it was already a starry sky, and the other students had already fallen asleep.

Horn walked into the stone house, hastily ate dry food, and climbed into bed without taking off his clothes, the pain and exhaustion all over his body made him dizzy and sleeping.

Following

The shrill bell rang like a talisman. Horn barely opened his eyes, the pain in his body lessening a little. Gritted his teeth and crawled up.

When I opened the door, everyone else had already gotten up, jumped on the rope one by one, and started the day's cultivation.

However, Adel hesitated, walked to Horn, and asked with concern: "I heard that Mr. Dupont said that you were injured and resting in the castle, why didn't you stay there and come here again." ”

Horn was grateful for Adair's concern, explaining, "No injuries, just fainted and woke up late in the night. It was late when I came back last night. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the stone pillar and said, "Let's go, otherwise we will be late." ”

Adel watched Horn's movements not very neatly, and said worriedly, "Then can you hold up your body?" ”

Horn shook his head and insisted: "If you even want to help me with this iron rope, then how can I hold on in the future, it's okay, I can go over by myself." ”

Seeing that Horn was so resolute, Adair had to say "Be careful yourself", and then also got on the iron rope to catch up with the other students.

Horn stepped over to the wire and moved his body slightly. I jumped on it, and when I got up, the rope shook and almost fell. hurriedly used both hands and feet, and climbed upside down. Although he insisted on crossing the iron rope alone, he would not joke with his life, and it was not okay to walk on it, but DuPont did not stipulate that he could not climb.

This climb took more than an hour. When Horn passed, only Dupont was left standing in front of the castle, and the old god was watching Horn, and naturally the puppet was indispensable by his side.
