Chris didn't pass the trial.

It's not just because he only has two days reserved for the final level.

Because after he entered the Colosseum and saw the fierce beast that had been raised to be fat and strong, he knew that he couldn't pass this level.

On the ice fields of the Alps, he has already dealt with too many fierce beasts, and he has been chased away by fierce beasts more than once!

The rich experience made him give up directly without even being in the mood to give it a try.

His mother hoped that no matter what difficulties he faced, he would not lack courage, but she did not ask him to die knowing that he was invincible.

The difference between recklessness and bravery, he himself can tell.

Moreover, three days of recuperation was not a long time, and he could not heal the wounds left on him by the Naga tribe.

He doesn't need to prove anything to the Einsk family, so there is no need to be reckless, so as not to leave a hidden danger to his body.

In this regard, James will certainly not let go of the opportunity to tease him.

But when his grandfather, Archbishop Raphael, found out, he praised, "It is rare to be able to face up to your own shortcomings and curb the vanity of youth and frivolity at this age." ”

Chris, who won the compliment, also had an extra opponent in the morning exercise.

A stereotypical middle-aged man who has been following Raphael and holding an ordinary long knife.

For this middle-aged man, Chris only knew that he did not have Einsk's surname, but asked everyone except Raphael to treat Einsk with courtesy.

Even James's father, Lange, who took charge of the Einske family, was no exception.

Raphael didn't say the name of the middle-aged man.

It's just that in the early morning of one day, he suddenly walked into the small courtyard with a middle-aged man and said to Chris, "Dear little Chris, every morning in the future, he will teach you how to fight." ”

The middle-aged man didn't introduce himself either.

Just came early every morning as scheduled and spent an hour in Chris's little yard.

He never paid attention to any politeness, and when he came in, he slashed directly at Chris with a knife and sheath, constantly knocking the young man to his stomach, and then Shi Shiran left.

Such days lasted ten days.

And the middle-aged man said three times to Chris.

The first time was like this: "Use all your strength to treat me as an enemy of the world." For example, suppose I ambushed your mother, Avril. ”

This made Chris vaguely guess his strength: the strong.

The second time the words were shorter, "Don't just get beaten, see how I exert my strength." ”

The third is to say goodbye, "Everyone is unique. You've roughly touched the threshold, so find your own path. ”

Then the two never crossed paths again.

But in just ten days, Chris feels that he has benefited a lot.

Because Sien's teaching was to let him learn how to save his life, the Naga clan, who was a half-step strongman, let him steal a lot of skills in using knives, and this expressionless middle-aged man let him know how to simplify the complex and put away the fighting skills freely.

When his teaching ended, it meant it was time for Chris to leave Edin City.

yes, it's time for Chris to leave.

He had already made a choice on behalf of the Eton family, and Einske had given a lot of help based on the ties of blood, and it was time for him to go on his own.

Moreover, he also wanted to complete the test left by his mother Avril.

Living up to his mother's hopes and one day returning to Eton territory as a strong man to protect the family is the goal he strives for in this life.

After packing his bags and saying goodbye to his grandfather, Raphael, and everyone he knew, he set out on his journey to the kingdom of the dwarves.

Just as he came to the south, it was still James who sent him out of the city as a landlord.

As he left the city, James handed over a letter from Duke Langhe, telling him to hand it over to the garrison commander of the border of the Dwarven Realm, and that someone would take him to the Gold Eater. He was also presented with a small money bag containing two rubies and a dozen gold coins. It was specially instructed by Archbishop Raphael, so that Chris would not have to worry about the expenses on the road.

But Chris only accepted the letter.

Because a ruby is worth 500 gold coins, and the caravan of the Eaton family crossed the mountains to deliver goods to the Loki Daran Mountains, a trip can earn up to 300 gold coins.

His grandfather was so generous that he felt deserved.

And he is going to leave the wings of his elders today to find his own sky, if he can't even get food with the long knife in his hand, what kind of spring and autumn dream of chasing the road of the strong!

"Thank you, James."

He patted the money bag with only two gold coins and more than ten silver coins through his clothes, "I have my own money, please convey my gratitude to my grandfather for me." ”

"Okay, let's go."

James didn't insist, just gave him a hug, "Don't forget my father's words." ”

He was referring to Duke Lange's claim that the Einske family would always reserve Chris's membership in the Knights of the Cathar.

"Goodbye, dear cousin."

Chris gave him a big smile and stepped onto the horse and walked away without looking back.

The horse galloped for a while, until the city of Edin behind him turned into a small black dot, and then he gently pulled the reins of the horse and slowed the horse down.

When he was out of the city, he also asked James how long it would take for James to kill him if the two of them didn't spare any effort to fight.

And James' answer made him feel weak.

"Although you have almost touched the threshold of the peak of the warrior, it is still vulnerable to me. Dear little Chris, if I don't spare any effort, you'll be in a pool of blood in three minutes, or even less. ”

It doesn't take three minutes......

Although James was ten years older than himself, Chris still couldn't accept such a result.

This means that he still has a long way to go if he wants to be strong, but he doesn't have much time left.

The demigods have fallen, and strife has resumed.

He silently recited the prophecy known to the world, and was also thinking about how to improve his strength as soon as possible.

To be precise, it's about choosing where to train.

Because the fastest way to improve your strength is to keep yourself in danger, hovering on the edge of life and death, and using the threat of death to stimulate the rapid growth of the divine vein.

Why don't I go back to the north and choose the Forest of Death as the place to hone myself when I'm done with my grandmother's test?

With the friendship that my family has accumulated over the years of trade with the Northern Bloodrock Sub-Humans, they should allow me to pass through the territory, right?

Oh, no.

The ice bone lizard that Grandma reserved for the test seems to only inhabit the Forest of Death.

If I want to finish the test, I have to go back first......

As he rode slowly, Chris's mood fluctuated with the horse's back.

But soon, he put his mind to rest, for he saw a man standing on the side of the road in front of him.

It's a middle-aged man who has been following Raphael.

He was still silent, and when he saw Chris, he squeezed the horse's belly hard, letting the good horse under his crotch run out.

"Come with me."

He didn't say where he was going, and he didn't say what he was going to do.

Chris, who was stunned for a moment, hurriedly urged the horse to catch up, "Excuse me, where are you going to take me?" ”

"Revenge."

Suddenly, Chris stopped talking and began to feel that the horse was too slow.

Because when he was in Edin City, he had privately asked James about his mother's ambush.

James didn't hide it from him, telling everything he knew.

Raphael was already the head of the family when Avril was ambushed, and he, who was in charge of half of the south, would certainly not let go of those who dared to ambush his daughter and challenge the authority of the Einsk family.

With unremitting efforts, it took eight years for the Einske family to finally find out that the strong man who ambushed Avril was from another Vulcan Privy Archbishop family - because Avril was amazingly talented, if she had time to become a strong man, it would change the situation of the two families in the south being evenly matched, so the family chose to strangle the danger in the cradle.

Faced with such an outcome, Raphael was not surprised.

As early as when it happened, he had a vague guess.

But he couldn't retaliate immediately.

Because if he wants revenge, he can only start a war, and wars involving the strong almost always stop when one side is completely erased.

But the human demigods are still alive!

The Holy Empire still has its eye on the South, turning it into a dukeless domain.

If the two archbishops of the South meet each other, the Empire will sit back and watch the battle and keep fighting each other, and once they are both defeated, the Mills royal family will send the Griffon Legion into the South to reap the fruits of victory.

Let the Vulcan cease to exist.

Perhaps, the other archbishop dared to ambush Avril because he knew that the Einsk family would take care of the overall situation and would not choose to burn the jade.

In fact, they got the bet right.

Raphael chose forbearance after all.

Begin to establish the Knights of the Cathar and wait for the fall of the demigods before taking revenge.

However, the Einsk family, who were unable to start a war, could still settle accounts with the rest of the people involved in the ambush first.

When the strong man ambushed, in order to clear up his involvement, he also hired mercenaries from the Middle-earth Plains to participate, and faked the illusion that it was the Cult of Light. After the ambush, these mercenaries also knew what trouble they were in, and in order to avoid revenge, they chose to break up and disappear in a way that broke into pieces.

Fifteen people were still alive, some of them served as low-ranking officers of the Empire, some went to the Eastern Islands to work as sailors, some returned to their hometowns to become farmers, and some even became warriors of the Illuminati Temple.

But no matter what their identity, as long as they are not the powerhouses in the limelight, the Einske family can be assassinated with impunity!

The middle-aged man beside Raphael left the south for several years because of this.

He also did not live up to the trust of the Einske family, and brought back fourteen heads one after another.

As for why he didn't bring back the rest of the one, it was because the man was so cunning that he hid in the south, in the parish belonging to the Einsk family!

Raphael decided to let the head live a few more years.

Because at that time, the news of Avril's death came from the north.

So he thought that Avril's spirit in heaven might have preferred to see another person cut off the fifteenth head.
