On the Mermaid,

The weather is clear, and the warm sea breeze with a slightly salty smell blows on your body, and it feels very comfortable.

The recent trip has been very smooth, not even bad weather.

The sailors and mercenaries on board the Mermaid relaxed and enjoyed a rare good time.

There was a circle of people basking in the sun lying on the deck, and a lazy atmosphere surrounded the ship, and Loren had no intention of stopping it when he saw this.

After all, these will be the backbone of the Milne Chamber of Commerce's expansion of shipping routes in the future, and there was a fierce battle with a pirate ship a few days ago, and it really needs to rest and relax.

But in this relaxed atmosphere, there is a little figure that is a little out of place.

At the front of the deck, a petite and cute figure stood there, holding a long sword in his hand, struggling to maintain his balance.

If you look closely, her white forehead is covered with beads of sweat, and her thin arms are still trembling slightly, obviously holding on for a long time.

This small figure who is sticking to the basic posture is Helen, who has already worshiped Li Si as a teacher and is ready to embark on the road of transcendence.

After Li Si took Helen that day, he did not directly start teaching Helen about the martial arts or other skills of a warrior, but taught her a few postures and asked Helen to start with physical exercise.

After all, Helen's body is still too weak now, and the pain and torture she experienced before made Helen's physical development significantly slower than that of children of the same age.

Boldly starting to learn warrior forging methods and martial arts is not conducive to her growth.

Polishing your body first, exercising your will, and then talking about the rest.

The sweat on Helen's forehead kept falling, and she did everything she could to stabilize the long sword in her hand, and as time passed, the trembling amplitude of the long sword in her hand continued to increase.

At first, the sailors and mercenaries on the Mermaid looked at Helen's exercise with interest, and smiled and bet on how long Helen could last.

But in the past few days, Helen's performance has made everyone put away their smile and admire the persistence of this cute little girl.

obviously followed that adult, but he could endure this kind of suffering.

Sure enough, you can't underestimate the people around Mr. Lis!

Everyone consciously gave up the bow of the boat to Helen without disturbing her exercise.

Bazel sat on the sidelines, leaning against the side of the ship, holding a bottle in his arms, taking a sip from time to time, but his attention was always on Helen.

Lees asked him to follow Helen, and he naturally wouldn't run away somewhere else.

Helen's current workout is very simple, and Bazel can take care of it very well, so Li Si naturally saves this effort.

"Break."

Bazel said to Helen while holding the wine in his hand.

This bottle of wine was brought to him by Liss to watch Helen's workout.

Bazel was very fond of drinking, but the first moment he opened the cork, the smell of wine caught his attention.

Damn, following this kind of boss, it's too profitable!

Naturally, a satisfied Bazel will work well so that he can get a better reward from Lees.

Seeing that Helen was about to lose her standing and swaying body, Bazel frowned slightly.

As a silver-level assassin, he naturally had this kind of time to polish his foundation.

But that kind of suffering is quite difficult, and he persevered under his father's "love".

I thought that taking care of Helen would be a similar process, but I didn't expect Helen's consciousness and enthusiasm to be so high, she didn't need his supervision at all, but she had to be careful not to let her exercise too much hurt her body.

Bazel stood up, snatched the sword from Helen's hand, and said helplessly:

"I've told you how many times that it's easy to get injured when you exercise like this, you've worked hard enough, there's no need for this."

Helen, who had snatched the long sword in her hand, seemed to have woken up from a state of devotion, sat on the deck, raised her sweaty little face, and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Uncle Bazel."

"I just wanted to see how far I could last."

"Who are you fooling?"

Although Bazel felt that it was a bit too much to be called uncle, he couldn't say anything like Helen calling him brother, so he could only reluctantly add:

"How can you challenge your limits every day."

"Master Li Si should have told you too, this kind of thing can't be rushed, only if you lay a good physical foundation and challenge to break through the limit will it be effective."

"Yes, I see!"

Helen nodded earnestly, and collapsed on the deck with a "snap", obviously no longer having any strength.

Bazel didn't care, since he wanted to become an extraordinary, he naturally couldn't be so squeamish.

Of course, this is also what Li Si explained in advance, otherwise Bazel would not dare to do this.

Let her rest for a while, and then move back to the cabin later.

In the evening, Lees would help Helen heal and recover from the wounds on her body, so she didn't have to worry about Bazel.

"Uncle Bazel"

Helen's small voice suddenly rang out.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle Bazel, are you very powerful?"

Helen asked in a whisper.

"Why do you say that?"

Bazel, who was holding the wine bottle, was a little interested and asked rhetorically.

"Because I heard that on that pirate ship, Lord Lees only kept you."

"And in the next few days, I don't think anyone can beat you."

Helen was now aching all over her body, and had to lie down on the deck obediently.

"Oh, maybe, because I'm special?"

Bazel smiled self-deprecatingly and poured a large sip of wine into his mouth.

"Uncle Bazel, how did you become so powerful?"

Helen asked curiously, since she had decided to become a transcendent professional, she had been eager to know more about the professional.

But Master Li Si rarely told her about those things, and only told her to keep exercising.

"Haha."

Bazel smiled bitterly, as if remembering the unbearable past before leaving home.

I don't know why, he suddenly has a desire to talk to Helen in front of him.

"My strength is all exercised under the supervision of my father."

"My dad is strong, very strong!"

"But also very stubborn!"

Bazel's head rested lightly on the side of the ship, his eyes looked at the blue sky and the seagulls that flew by from time to time, his eyes were misty, and he whispered:

"I've always felt that my dad was too strict with me, and he didn't let me do it, and he didn't let me do it."

"On top of that, he barely let me out of his sight and was confined to my home all day."

"Numbly exercising my body, honing my skills, and improving my strength."

"It's painful, really!"

Bazel turned his head to Helen and said with a smile:

"So when I saw you start exercising, I was still wondering when you were going to give up."

"But you're better than me, if it's me at that time, lazy or something, that's for sure."

"And Uncle Bazel, what happened later?"

Helen then asked, seeming to feel a hint of heaviness in Bazel's account.

"Daddy's strength is very strong, even before I left home, I never beat him once."

"But it's strange, I don't know why, my dad has always been injured on his body, and sometimes he even secretly avoids me and vomits blood, and I don't even notice the slightest movement of him fighting with others."

"But I wasn't sensible at the time, and I didn't care about that, instead."

Bazel was silent for a moment, seemingly a little difficult to say.

"Instead, I resented him."

"Hate why he's so me, why don't you let me play with my friends."

"I can only work out on the sidelines, exercise, or exercise, and there seems to be nothing else going on in my life."

"Then one day I couldn't stand it anymore, and I heard from a traveling merchant that becoming a mercenary was a very thrilling thing."

"The colorful adventure immediately attracted me."

"So, the next night, I secretly avoided my father and ran away."

"Didn't you get caught by your father? Didn't you say that he was very strong? ”

Helen asked in a curious tone.

"It's strong, it's strong."

Bazel sighed a little, and then said:

"I will never forget that night, I also ran away before, but he caught them back, but I managed to escape more than 100 meters that night, and I was not knocked out by my father."

"I was so excited that I was ready to flee from the village."

"When I looked back, I saw that the door of my house was open, and there was a warm light shining inside, and my father was standing at the door, quietly watching me."

"I was so frightened that I thought I was going to be caught again, so I ran away."

"I don't know how long I ran, but my dad hasn't shown up."

"Now that I think about it, maybe Daddy let me go that night."

"Uh-huh."

Helen struggled to look up at Bazel.

"Later, I learned that my luck has always been very bad, and the people who were with me were very unlucky, and many of them even died."

With a small smile on his face, Bazel added:

"It's like that pirate ship."

"So, I'm wondering, is my father's injury because of me?"

"Uh-huh."

Helen nodded repeatedly, to be honest she didn't understand what Bazel meant by bad luck.

Bazel didn't care either, and he didn't bother to explain it carefully to Helen.

He has always hidden these things in his heart, and at this time he just wants to find someone to talk to, whether she understands it or not.

"Uncle Bazel, I suppose your father must be proud, right?"

Helen's crisp voice reached Bazel's ears.

"Huh?"

"Because, your father must have thought you were good enough to let you leave home."

"I feel like you're able to face the risks on your own."

Helen said earnestly, but in her heart she thought of her mother.

"Haha, maybe."

Bazel smiled.

Perhaps because of Lees's promise to help him get rid of the bad luck that was entangled, Bazel's whole person seemed to be much sunnier.

Looking at the white clouds in the sky, I don't know why Bazel's mood is much better.

When you break through the gold, go back and meet Daddy!

Bazel made up his mind in his mind.

On the other side,

The grizzled Li Si is walking out of the cabin that has been converted into a makeshift magic workshop, and casually uses the [Cleaning Technique] to remove the stains on his body.

Open the door to let fresh air into the workshop, taking away the smoke from the explosion.

"Failed again."

Li Si was in a calm mood and didn't pay much attention to it.

Failure is the mother of success!

It is impossible for a mage to succeed without thousands of mothers.

I just tried to make other magic props and failed, and the other materials were fine, but I lost a little Mithril, which made Li Si feel a little heartbroken.

Lees wanted to try to make some magic equipment and props that he could use, but the process was quite difficult.

Although he is a silver-level arcanist, ordinary magic items and equipment are no longer of much use.

With the abundance of Lis's treasury, perhaps only the silver superlative and the above props are meaningful.

It wasn't as easy as making [Siren Earrings], and it was still far from Li Si's current level.

Li Si could only patiently grope little by little.

In the case of the inheritance of the two legendary arcanists of Stephens and Sphinx, Li Si's daily progress is visible to the naked eye, and it is estimated that he can only be blindfolded and blindly pondered.

Li Si stood outside the door for a moment and adjusted his mentality.

Let's put it away first, let's play with the gameplay model first!

It's like studying in a previous life, learning mathematics and getting confused, so change chemistry and change your thinking.

"Lord Lis!"

Just as Li Si was about to continue his happy research, a voice interrupted Li Si's steps.

Li Si looked back and said with a smile:

"What's wrong, Ivar, what's wrong?"

Avar, the official mercenary who walked towards Lees, had a little excitement on his face at this time.

"Lord Lisi, we are about to arrive at the sea of the small island in our memory, and I already have a faint feeling."

"Oh?"

Naturally, Lees would not forget the island that Aivar had mentioned to him, or that he was interested in it.

Just don't study it, Li Si walked outside.

"Let's go, show me the way, let's have a look."

"Okay."

Aivar was also looking forward to it, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Walking up to the deck and standing on the highest point, Aivar closed his eyes for a moment and pointed in the direction southeast of the Mermaid.

"It should be over here, there's something there's attracting my body."

"Okay."

Lees put his right hand on Aivar's shoulder, and in an instant the figures of the two disappeared in place, and the other sailors and mercenaries were already surprised.

Lately, Li Si has often left the ship to experiment with spells on the sea not far away, and they have seen more of this kind of scene.

On the sea more than ten kilometers to the southeast, the figures of Lis and Aivar appeared there, flying in mid-air.

"Here?"

Aivar closed his eyes and sensed it, shook his head and said:

"Further south."

"Okay."

Lees nodded, and in an instant he used the [Teleportation Technique] again to take Evar out of place.

After two more moves, Aivar said in a loud voice:

"It's here!"

Li Si looked down and saw only the blue sea with slight waves.
