Chapter 252: Meeting and Training (Transition)
When he met the cyclops, Zheng Shu already felt another aura lurking beside him.
However, at the time, he thought it was a scout set up by the centaur tribe to find out the information of the Cyclops, after all, theoretically speaking, the place where the Centaurs lived should also be the habitat of the centaurs.
Cyclops and centaurs are as brutal as they are, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat power of that large group of Cyclops is definitely much stronger than that of an entire centaur tribe, so it is not impossible for the centaur tribe to be squeezed out of their homeland by the cyclops.
With the intelligence of a centaur, it's not incomprehensible to send a scout to observe and gather information on your enemies.
However, when the leader of the cyclops drew his axe, perhaps because he was too shocked to expose a trace of his divine aura, Zheng Shu realized that the person hiding there was the person he was looking for.
As the sound of horses' hooves approached from far to near, Charon revealed itself from the shadows of the jungle.
Although it looked exactly like a normal centaur, Zheng Shu knew that he was not looking for the wrong person just by glancing at Charon's eyes. The feeling that Caron gave Zheng Shu was completely different from other heroes, and the whole person was full of a calm and wise temperament, as if there was no problem in this world that could stump him.
Caron first came to the axe room discarded by Zheng Shu, and examined it carefully, the more he looked at his eyebrows, the more wrinkled he became. But soon he relaxed his expression again, and turned his head to look at Zheng Shu, who had not spoken since just now, and was just waiting quietly for him.
"It seems that you are familiar with me, but I have not seen you in fate." Ka Rong looked at Zheng Shu with a very curious expression.
In the god generation, all people with some divinity can basically observe the future through fate, which is the so-called future vision or clairvoyance, but because each person's power source and ability are tilted in different directions, their specific ability to see the future is also different.
The biggest role of Caron's future vision is to see the fate of all the creatures associated with him, although he can't see his secrets, but this future vision is enough to help him find a suitable student.
Through this vision, Caron was also able to quickly develop the most suitable training plan for his students, and his knowledge and ability to teach them according to their aptitude made him the most powerful teacher in the entire ancient Greek mythology.
But this time, Caron was really surprised, because he really didn't find any trace of Zheng Shu in the future vision. You know, theoretically since they have met now, they should have appeared in the future before.
But in fact, even if Kajon secretly took the initiative to mobilize his future vision to search for it just now, he didn't find any trace of Zheng Shu.
"I heard about your deeds from Hercules, and I came here to be guided by you." Zheng Shu behaved very respectfully, after all, he had to learn under the other party's hands in the future.
"Hercules? He was my proudest student. Charon nodded.
He could still see the future of Hercules, but Charon also found that there were many gaps in Hercules' fate, which meant that the man in front of him was not lying.
"Being able to get Hercules' approval means that you should have no problem in other areas, and if you are willing to accept the guidance of an old man like me, of course I am willing to help youβknowledge is a wealth that everyone can obtain."
Caron's words sounded modest, but they were actually full of arrogance, because he didn't even ask Zheng Shu what he wanted to be coached in.
Perhaps for this centaur, there should be nothing in this world that he can't guide without him.
Zheng Shu didn't hide the happiness on his face, after all, in this era, the strong are originally free to do whatever they want, if they even need to cover up their emotions, it can only mean that that person is not strong enough.
After staying in this world for a long time, Zheng Shu also contracted this "vice".
Sure enough, Ka Rong didn't care about Zheng Shu's emotions at all, but turned his gaze to the surrounding cyclops who were punched a few times by Zheng Shu at the beginning and were still wailing that they hadn't died.
"In recent times, the cyclops of the surrounding mountains have suddenly gathered together to form a tribe against their natural instincts. Previously, the largest number of Cyclops settlements were also family-based, but squads like this are now often encountered. They have caused a lot of trouble to the ecosystem of this mountain range, and the demonic beasts in the mountain range have been eaten up, and the centaur tribe that originally lived here has even had to migrate away. β
Caron looked at the Cyclops in the distance who were still wailing, and raised his hand and shot a few arrows to keep their mouths shut forever. Despite being called a sage, Charon was not an indecisive man, and for him, a creature like the Cyclops was brutal and unintelligent, even if it had a human form, it was no different from other monsters.
Ka Rong picked up the axe that Zheng Shu had just thrown away, and his tone was full of solemnity: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, they have actually developed to the point where they can make metal weapons. β
"Does a creature like a cyclops have the special ability to colonize and improve its intelligence?" Zheng Shu scratched his head.
"Of course not, if they really have such special abilities, they won't be classified as Warcraft." Charon shook his head, "Based on my investigation over the past few months, it is inferred that there should be a mutated Cyclops, and it is likely that it is about the enhancement of intelligence, so that he can dominate the other Cyclops." β
Charon turned his head to look at Zheng Shu, and at this time finally said his purpose: "I can't see your fate clearly with the future, but since it was introduced by Hercules, with his character, you should also be looking for me in terms of combat effectiveness." β
"You're right, although I'm very strong, I'm a lot worse in combat skills, so I hope you can help me make up for this shortcoming." Zheng Shu nodded sincerely.
"To be honest, I've already seen your fight, and you shouldn't have much to learn in terms of strength. I don't see your specific flaws because the enemy is so weak, but at least I know that you're not very good at controlling the distance between you and the enemy. Charon dropped the axe in his hand and smiled.
Zheng Shu was even more respectful when he heard this, he was worthy of being the top tutor in the entire ancient Greece, and he could see such a crucial information just by taking a look at his own vegetable abuse bureau: "Yes, so I hope you can guide me." β
"You're lucky, if it's a few months late, I'll get rid of these cyclops. But if you're going to learn combat skills, these guys about your size are just the right thing to teach you about. β
Caron's horse's hooves kicked the corpse of a cyclops next to him: "No matter what kind of fighting skills, there must be someone who can train with you, of course, in the process of training, you will definitely not be able to use such a lot of strength to fight them, that will not have any training effect at all, so the first thing you have to learn is to suppress your own strength."
As I've said earlier, there are still many Cyclops in this mountain range, but there are a few of them for you, so I hope you can master all the skills before you kill them. β
"Yes!" Zheng Shu bowed slightly in convincing so that Kajon didn't have to look up at him.
Looking at Zheng Shu, who bent down so that he was at eye level with him, Karong nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at Zheng Shu's eyes with brown pupils: "Before that, I want to ask, what are you trying to improve your strength for?" β
"This ......" Zheng Shu hesitated, not knowing whether he wanted to tell his true purpose.
In mythology, Charon has always been committed to cultivating great heroes, but Zheng Shu himself knows that he is not that kind of person, his heart is not so great, and all he wants is to protect himself and the people he values in the upcoming cruel war.
If he told the truth, Zheng Shu didn't know if this would affect Karon's education in the future.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Charon, but I don't have much ambition myself, and all I want is to be able to protect myself in the coming war." In the end, Zheng Shu still chose to tell the truth.
After all, he would have to learn from the centaur sage in front of him for a long time to come, and Zheng Shu didn't have the confidence that he would be able to hide his true character for so long after he finished lying.
Instead of revealing the stuffing at that time and making everyone's face not look good, it is better to make it clear now.
Fortunately, Caron didn't show any disgust after hearing Zheng Shu's purpose, but just smiled gently:
"It's very straightforward to desire, my students have always pursued a brilliant life, and people like you are still the first one.
But no matter what kind of desire, as long as you are still my student, I will give everything I can to guide you forward. I can teach you all kinds of martial arts, and I still have some confidence in this. β
"Thank you very much, Mr. Charon." Zheng Shu hesitated a little after speaking, "Can I change my name to call you teacher?" β
"Absolutely, I like the title of teacher very much." Charon smiled and nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you to where I live...... It's also where you'll be staying for some time to come. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"In short, I regret it, I regret it very much!" The party Zheng, said, "I never thought that my invulnerable body would hurt myself so badly." β
"You're moving too slowly, keep picking up your pace!" A voice from a distance interrupted Zheng Shu's self-pity, but before the voice could be heard, something else had helped convey the message.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
"Ouch, ouch!"
With Zheng Shu's cry of pain, three arrows crashed into his body and shattered into pieces, but the impact force it transmitted still made Zheng Shu, a person with an invulnerable body, feel pain.
So he swooped forward as if he had been stung by a scorpion, and his steps became faster.
β¦β¦ This is Zheng Shu's training routine here in Karon.
It has been a month since Zheng Shu came to Caron to learn combat skills, and at the beginning, Caron's training tended to be conservative, for fear of damaging Zheng Shu's body.
However, it didn't take long for Caron to discover that his new student was simply physically strong, even better than Hercules when he left the school.
As the best teacher, Keron decisively revised the training plan, directly removing all the training on improving physical fitness from the schedule and replacing it with a training on various combat techniques, correcting the posture of weapon use, learning dodge steps, and so on.
So far, Zheng Shu still feels very happy, and praised Karon's teaching according to his aptitude.
But within a few days, Kajon found that Zheng Shu's skin defense was extremely terrifying, and even after using his divinity, he couldn't break through his defenses, and could only bring him pain, and after knowing this information, Zheng Shu's good days came to an end.
As we all know, Charon was the most powerful archery in ancient Greek mythology when he was alive, so as a teacher, he naturally wanted his students to inherit his skills.
Even if the student's talent is not high enough to make much of a breakthrough in archery skills, at least they must learn how to dodge against the top archers.
It just so happened that Zheng Shu was not very good at dodging, so Kajon simply made a huge adjustment to Zheng Shu's training plan in two.
Knowing that his student was invulnerable, Charon chose the easiest and most efficient way to train him.
Zheng Shu was running on the vast plain at this time, and in order to limit his speed and strength, Karong even tied a boulder to each of his limbs with a thick rope.
The size of the stone was already very large, and with the blessing of magic, most of Zheng Shu's strength was suppressed, and he could only run at a speed that was not too fast.
If it's just like this, it's okay, the problem is that the Kajon in the distance has been continuously shooting bows and arrows towards Zheng Shu, although the defense of the lion reinforcement template is indeed strong enough to allow Zheng Shu not to suffer any damage, but it still hurts.
If he wanted not to hurt, Zheng Shu could only dodge the arrows shot by the top archers of ancient Greece as much as possible.
In the process, Zheng Shu's insight and dodging ability have also been greatly enhanced.
