I go to the trial on time every afternoon, come back in the evening with my tired body to sum up my experience and rest, concentrate on honing my skills the next morning, and then set off with high morale.

For half a month, Chris lived every day to the fullest.

But the trial didn't go well.

He had passed the test of James, the dwarves, and the elves, but he was stuck in a pool guarded by the Naga.

This Naga from the Eastern Isles is also a long knife.

Its tall body and four arms give it a large range; The long snake's tail allows it to move quickly in pools, often slashing at it from very tricky angles, making it difficult for Chris to move around in the water.

It can be said that the Naga have the advantage in terms of strength and terrain.

Chris has been on his way home for five days in a row, and he has a lot of scars on his body.

Thankfully, Naga didn't kill him, and the four long knives he used were all specially made, and the blades were deliberately blunted, which saved Chris from bleeding profusely or being disabled with his hands and feet cut off.

The most he's been injured so far was when he was slapped in the chest by Naga's snake tail, and his bones didn't break, but he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

In this regard, James, who couldn't look down on it, persuaded him to simply give up the trial.

After all, he didn't need to prove anything to the Einsk family.

But Chris thanked him for his kindness, and still relented to accept the ravages of the Naga every day, and he planned to stay in this level for another ten days.

Even if there is a chance to get a wooden card to clear the level, he will pretend not to see it.

Because he wants to steal the teacher.

In the isolated territory of Eton, only Sien was the one who reached the pinnacle of warriors, which also led to the one-sided teaching he received. Moreover, Sien uses a mace, and his weapon is a long knife, and there are some techniques that Sien can't teach at all. Just like the craftsmen who make wine and rye, they both know the basic principles of winemaking, but their skills and experiences are very different.

Now, he finally met a Naga clan who also used a long knife, and he was still a half-step powerhouse who would not kill him, so it was not good to learn the skills at this time, let alone when! If it weren't for the fact that the trial was only one month, he would have to set aside five days to break through the beast-guarded level, and he would have wanted to soak in the pool for months on end.

However, the Naga were a little impatient.

Because it slowly discovered that Chris, who came to challenge, didn't seem to have any intention of taking the wooden card at all, and used the combat skills of the previous day in the process of attacking.

This kind of learn-and-sell situation annoys it.

The Einske family hired it here to test the younger generations of the family, but it didn't pay a commission for teaching skills!

What made it even more irritating was that it had no proper reason to refuse the shameless creature's trial.

Therefore, it began to slowly become heavier.

On the twenty-first day, when he saw Chris use the technique of "flicking the knife to the ground", he finally couldn't help but slash directly under Chris's ribs with the back of the knife. didn't break the bone, but it made Chris unable to lift his hand for a long time, and a normal person was injured like this, and he couldn't use force again without ten or eight days of rest.

If you can't refuse, then you can't challenge it!

Here's how it came up with it.

However, it's a pity.

On the afternoon of the twenty-second day, he saw the stubborn young man again.

"You dare to come down today, swear in the name of the god of the sea, I will break your hands and feet!"

Just as Chris was about to enter the pool, he raised his long knives in all four arms and viciously intimidated him in a very lame lingua franca.

"Oh, okay."

To this, Chris just replied lightly, and jumped into the pool with a plop.

This also made Naga completely helpless.

And it also knew that if Chris's limbs were really broken, the Einske family, although they would not be surprised or held accountable, would definitely hire a Naga to replace them.......

Because it is not a beast without reason, it cannot do such an act of cruelty and killing.

Most importantly, it began to appreciate the young man in front of him a little.

Defeat without discouragement, perseverance, and even if you are injured but also hone your skills, there are not many young people with such tenacity. No matter what race you are, you deserve to be treated well.

Especially since it was once young itself.

Of course, this appreciation can only make it a little lighter, but the anger of being annoyed every day still has to be vented.

Time passed slowly in the pain of being beaten and the joy of stealing the teacher, and on the twenty-fifth day of the trial, Chris was covered in injuries before leaving, and solemnly thanked the Naga tribe.

It also caught the Naga a little off guard, and their eyes looked at his back as he turned away.

But soon, it finds out that this nasty guy has come back.

"Sorry, I forgot."

He said this with a smile, put his long knife on the side, jumped into the pool, and swam straight to get the wooden plaque that symbolized passing the test here.

The red wooden sign is right next to Naga.

But it didn't stop it, and just watched quietly as Chris took it away.

"Thank you for your generous teaching these days."

Chris, who went ashore, smiled at Naga again when he picked up the long knife, "I won't be coming back tomorrow, goodbye." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Naga was silent.

It wasn't until Chris's back was about to disappear that he shouted out loud.

"Two-legged human, your knife is too long and too heavy! If you want to make the most of my knife skills, change it! ”

Its lingua franca is still very awkward.

But it's as warm as the early summer sun.

Back in his small courtyard, Chris began to write letters to his family after a hasty dinner.

Theon is on his way back to Eaton Territory tomorrow!

He wanted to tell his grandfather Henry Sr. and his father Kafka that they were safe, and to inform him of the choices he had made.

And for the first time, advice was made on family affairs.

Several times these days, James had been invited to dine at the hospital, and he took the opportunity to ask Anastasia about the popularity of the Ironwood Arrow among the elves. After learning that ironwood, which weighs less than steel and has a straight texture, is the only arrow shaft material that the elves can use as shadowless arrows, he thinks that caravan supplies can be added to ironwood arrows. Because if the elves intervene, the greedy dwarves will sell their weapons to the Eton family at a very low price.

Regardless of whether the Eaton family uses it for its own use or sells it to the subhuman tribe, it is a very good deal.

After writing the letter home, he fell asleep.

He'd had suffered a lot of injuries these days, not too bad, but enough to make him tired. So he also planned to rest for three days and recover from his injuries a little before going to challenge the final level of the trial.

As for only two days, can you successfully pass the test of the beast guard~~

He didn't care.

As James said, he didn't need to prove anything to the Einske family.

He just needs to always remember what he wants and give his best on the path he has chosen.

Oh yes.

During this time, there is one more trifle worth mentioning.

The little girl Amelia has changed from a big bad guy to a big brother by calling him.

The reason is that when she was carried by her sister to Chris's small yard and wronged Baba to return the Rocky Daran wolf tooth pendant to Chris, Chris, who couldn't bear to watch the little girl cry, officially used the wolf tooth pendant as a substitute for compensating for the ironwood arrows, so it was very successful for the little girl to release her suspicions and gain her friendship.

A friendship that leaves people speechless.

Every morning, when Chris was alone in the yard sharpening her knife skills, she would always come uninvited with a bow and arrow, using Chris as a humanoid target to practice archery.

In this regard, Chris can only sigh that the Rocky Daran wolves are not only fierce in life, but even the friendship exchanged for their canine teeth is difficult to bear......

Such a complaint was not known to Atwood Teuton, who made the wolf tooth pendant.

But even if he knew, he could not refute it, for he had now crossed the Teutonic Realm and was walking on the northern steppes.

In search of centaurs.
