Chapter 012: The Two Paths Left Behind by Theseus
Of course, Su Xueqi also knew that even if that Arthur predecessor had found his own path, he might not necessarily be able to break through the silver level, but the probability of success was higher than that of most bronze knights.
For example, the Qigu Patriarch, who has guided her several times, is also a leader among the Bronze Horsemen, and it is not impossible to break through the silver level in the future.
But compared to the Bronze Horseman, who has already found his own path, the gap is too great.
It's like one doesn't even have a stroke of eight characters, and the other is just the last tick to close the pen, which is not on the same level at all.
However, if that Arthur predecessor is really already a silver knight, where will it be her turn to apprentice before she has melted blood?
Even now, the other party may not necessarily look down on her.
It's just that she did have some interest in this opportunity......
"Then then Rorschach, can you help me say a few kind words in front of Arthur's predecessors? I know I'm not qualified to ask for that, but I can guarantee that if I can succeed in my apprenticeship, you will be my benefactor for life! Su Xueqi, who was moved by Rorschach's words, finally made a decision.
"No problem, it's just a matter of effort." Rorschach smiled heartily.
Su Xueqi saw that Rorschach, who was stunned, was so good at talking, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in her heart.
By doing so, she is undoubtedly taking advantage of the other party.
If the apprenticeship is successful, there will inevitably be competition in the future, and in this case, most people will not agree to her unreasonable request.
Even if she said it was out of the blue, it was useless.
But Rorschach agreed, and there were no conditions, Rao was holding the mentality of only treating the people she met in this world as NPCs, and she had a sense of guilt of "I'm really damned" at this time.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm destined to become a real heroine, and I'll just take care of him when the time comes." Su Xueqi comforted herself.
As for Rorschach's side, seeing that the fish had already taken the bait, he naturally didn't say more, so as not to appear too eager to arouse the suspicion of the other party.
"Finished talking so soon?"
Rex, who was closing his eyes in the tent arranged by Krause, couldn't help but smile when he saw Rorschach coming back after a while, "I think that girl named Stephanie is pretty good, why did she come back so quickly." ”
"Teacher, the way you gossip, really looks like Aunt Susan." Rorschach complained mercilessly.
He didn't call Rex Uncle Rex anymore, lest he get used to it.
As for Rorschach's complaints, Rex was naturally not angry, his personality was one of the most gentle people in Twilight Village.
What's more, Rorschach still grew up watching them, and they have always treated Rorschach as their own nephew, so where would they really care about him.
After the joke, Rorschach told Rex about some of the information he had heard from Su Xueqi, and Rex also got a lot of words from Su Xueqi's cheap brother Krauser, most of which were about the major events in the Storm Empire in the past ten years.
Rex, the former prince, knows the Storm Empire very well, but the information he has is basically more than ten years ago.
Inevitably, there will be some things that can't keep up with the version.
Krauser is just a small person, and it is impossible for them to know the undercurrents hidden under the table, but at least they know the situation on the surface.
That's all Rex wants.
"Let's not talk about these things for now, let's discuss the information in the long term when we reach the mountain capital." After summarizing the information that the two of them heard, Rex suddenly said, "I'm asking you something very seriously now, and I hope you can give me an answer after thinking about it seriously." ”
"Okay." Rorschach stopped laughing and nodded.
He didn't know why Rex suddenly came to him like this at this time, but he could see that he had something serious to tell him, and in this case, he would naturally not be as casual as before.
"Have you ever wanted to get stronger?" Rex looked Rorschach in the eye and asked word by word.
"Do you mean becoming a Knight of Blood?"
After thinking for a moment, Rorschach muttered, "I may not have thought much about it before, but after the previous incident, I did. ”
Rex nodded, and asked again, "Then if I tell you that there are two paths in front of you now, one is a smooth road, but the end is already determined; On the other hand, there may be unknown risks with every step forward, but as long as you keep going, you can keep moving forward. ”
"You, what will you choose?"
For this kind of question, how could the two Rorschach not understand the metaphor in the words.
So he didn't go around the bush and asked directly: "Can I ask if the end point has been determined, what is the concept?" ”
"It's about the level where you don't have to worry about someone hurting you, but you can't change the situation...... Well, just like me. Rex was answering Rorschach, but then he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Understood."
"Don't worry, you can think more before giving me an answer, it's about your future path." Rex re-emphasized.
"Don't think about it, I'll choose the second one." Rorschach replied directly.
"I think it's better for you to think again, there are some things that are not suitable for rashness." Rex groaned.
"There's no need for that." Rorschach shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Daddy asked you to ask that question just now, right?" ”
"I didn't say that." Rex paused for a moment, then laughed dumbly.
But he didn't deny it, obviously because he didn't think it was necessary, after all, Hughes didn't emphasize that he must not let Rorschach know the truth.
These two questions were indeed asked by Hughes to ask, and they correspond to different answers, and indeed there are different choices.
Since Rorschach had guessed it, he didn't bother to hide it anymore, and directly took out two glass bottles, one red and one blue, from his pocket.
He first raised the blue glass bottle in his left hand and said: "This is the blood of Beamon prepared for you by the village chief before, he gave it to your father a long time ago, but he didn't have time to give it to you, of course, there is also the secret technique practiced by the village chief, not to mention anything else, it is definitely enough for you to go all the way to the gold level." ”
Without waiting for Rorschach to answer, he raised the red glass bottle in his right hand and said: "This is what your father prepared for you, I don't know what it is, he didn't fail to tell me, and the corresponding cultivation method was also given to me before we left, if you choose the second way, I will transfer it to you, if not, I will destroy these together." ”
"Actually, I personally recommend that you choose the first path."
After Rex finished saying Hughes's explanation, he also further expressed his opinion, "I don't know much about Brother Hughes, but I can see that he is also struggling, and deep down he may not want you to choose the second path." ”
