Chapter 4 Abner

Andre sat on his knees with his head bowed, his eyes staring blankly at the ground, and the taste in his heart was uncomfortable. This time, the frustration in his heart because of failure was not strong, but more lonely. It doesn't matter if you fail once, you can do it, it doesn't matter if you fail many times, you can still persevere, but if you don't see hope, you will fall into darkness forever...

Starmark didn't know what Andre thought, he walked to Andre with a wicked smile with the star-shooting crossbow, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Big rooster, you are the first one who can break through my mechanism and force me to take out the star-shooting crossbow, you should feel honored, I think you have a lot of potential, why don't you be my little brother?"

Andre tilted his head to the other side, ignoring the starmark. He didn't even hear what Starmark said clearly, his mind was blank, he just didn't want to see Starmark.

Seeing this, Star Scar continued to bewitch: "You are my junior brother, there must be benefits for you, such as I help you buy exercises for cultivating Xuan Li?"

This time Andrei heard it clearly, but he was stubborn and just snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Xingji frowned, then turned his eyes, pretended to sigh deeply, and slowly put the star-shooting crossbow in his hand against Andre's head, and then coughed vigorously: "Ahem! Since you are unwilling to submit and have an enmity with me, leaving you will only cause me trouble, it seems that I can only kill you." ”

Speaking of this, Starmark pretended to be lonely and sighed: "Hey, we're old friends, I really can't bear it~"

The star-shooting crossbow was close at hand, and although it didn't shoot, the icy chill had already reached Andre's forehead. Perhaps sensing the threat of death, Andre's eyes finally changed, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he could see the star's gradually crooked fingers. Suddenly, all the loss was dispelled, and all I felt was a numbness in my scalp and a cold sweat.

To say that he is not afraid is false, Andrei regretted it, he swore in his heart that he would not be a gangster in the next life, and if he was forced to embark on this kind of life, he must be a beggar! The most important thing is that he will not trouble finding a child thirteen times in a row. His body kept shaking, and this was the result of his forced composure, otherwise it would only be more obvious.

Anyone can see that Andre is very scared at this time, although he is an adult, he has only just become an adult, where has he experienced any life and death crisis, in the eyes of many people, he is nothing more than a big boy, in the face of death, fear is a normal performance.

In fact, Andre thought about begging for mercy, although he lost his face, he always felt that Xingji would definitely let him go, but Andre didn't say it, even if he was already afraid of death, but he just gritted his teeth and closed his mouth tightly, whether he was backbone, or unwilling, at this time Andre himself probably didn't know why he insisted.

Starmark's finger was already on the trigger, which had begun to bend slightly, and the arrow stuck in the star-shooting crossbow could shoot at any moment. Andrei's mind went blank, and the world became quiet, the only thing he could hear was the sound of his own heartbeat still pounding against his chest.

"Don't they all say that you will see a lot of good memories before you die... Why can't I see anything... Do I have no good memories in my life?" came out of Andrei's mouth.

"The reason is simple..."

Starmark brought his immature face close to Andre, and said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, "Because... This arrow is fake!" After saying that, Starmark pulled the trigger suddenly, only to hear a "bang", and the sharp arrow rushed out of the star-shooting crossbow and shot at Andre's forehead.

"Ah~" Andre screamed in pain, his forehead hurt, but he only exhaled in pain and stopped speaking, because he thought he was going to die, and it was just the last moment before he died. In the previous state of mental stress, Andrei didn't even hear the arrow that Starmark said to him at the end was fake.

"Am I dead... Why does it still hurt so much, doesn't it mean that if you are shot through the head, you will die in an instant..."Andrei thought to himself, and at the same time his afterglow swept to the crossbow arrow that had shot him in the forehead.

"Is that what killed me... My life has been a failure, and I have died on a crossbow made of soft rubber...", Andrei muttered a little depressed. However, when this sentence was repeated three times, Andre was suddenly stunned, his pupils dilated suddenly, and he stared hard at the crossbow arrow that fell to the ground, and his body was twisted from the violent impact.

"Made of rubber!" At this moment, Andre's mind flashed the words that Star Scar had shouted in front of him before

"This arrow is fake!"

"Ah!! little bunny, how dare you lie to me!"

Andre yelled, and although his words were deceiving him with anger streaks, his voice sounded less like anger and more with joy.

By this time, Starmark had already run towards the outside of the alley.

Seeing the starmark fleeing, Andre immediately got up, and then yelled and chased after the starmark! However, this time, Andre actually didn't plan to do anything to the starmark in his heart, he just wanted to be a show, but he hoped that the starmark had escaped, and he pretended to be just to give an explanation to himself and his injured brothers. Although he is a cynical gangster, he also understands Entu. Starmark used to shoot him with rubber crossbow arrows, and if he replaced one, instead of a real crossbow arrow, he just replaced it with an ordinary wooden strip to shoot the power of a star crossbow, then the close distance would be enough to pierce Andrei's head. Therefore, although this is not necessarily the grace that Andre wants, but grace is grace, and if there is kindness, you can't repay it with resentment. Besides, not to mention anything else, the other party still has a star-shooting crossbow in his hand, and that's not something Andre can afford to provoke.

However, Andre thought about it and just left it at that, but he didn't expect the star mark to stop more than ten meters behind him.

"Good boy, you dare to stay here!" Seeing this, Andre said angrily, but he secretly scolded in his heart, "This stinky boy, why are you waiting if you don't run, do you have to let me beat you?

Thinking in his heart, Andre still pretended to be very excited on the surface and walked towards the starmark, but his pace was very slow, which betrayed his intention to really settle accounts with the starmark as he said. At this time, Andrei also understood why Starmark stopped. Before, because he paid too much attention to the star mark, Andre didn't see an old man with a white beard in front of the star mark, this old man was a little chubby, not tall, but his face was very ruddy, he looked very healthy, and that kind smile made it easy for people to feel close, it was because he blocked in front of the star mark that the star mark stopped.

"Thank you, old man, for helping me stop this kid. Andre seemed to say with a smile, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, "Where did a nosy stinky old man come out, aren't you afraid that he will shoot you together?"

Although he thought so in his heart, Andre still rubbed his hands softly, twisted his neck, showed a fierce look, and walked towards the star mark with a strange smile, but his smile looked very stiff when he looked closely, and his sideburns were even more cold sweat.

Starmark didn't pay attention to Andre who was walking towards him, but stared at the old man in front of him with an unkind gaze. In the eyes of others, the old man looks like a kind old man next door. However, for some reason, Starmark always felt a very strange feeling, and it was a feeling that was difficult to explain. The old man stood there with his hands in his hands, and the star mark could bypass it as long as he took a step to the side, but for some reason, the star mark could not take this step, because there was a feeling in his heart that he could not leave.

Andre was still very keen, and when he saw the star mark as if he didn't notice himself, just staring at the old man intently, Andre also glanced at the old man curiously.

"Hey, I think I've seen it somewhere... Why is it so familiar..."

Andre looked at the old man carefully, and rubbed his eyes, in order to make himself see more clearly, and the old man seemed to feel Andre's gaze, looked up at Andre, and smiled back.

"Ahh

Suddenly, an exclamation came from Andrei's mouth.

I saw Andre's body trembling, but this was not caused by fear, but excited, and pointed at the old man with a face full of surprise: "Ai... Abner, Great Sage of Abner!"

Abner, this is the name of the old man, if there is anyone with the loudest name in modern times, then it is neither the current king nor the top powerhouse, but this seemingly chubby old man, because he is the savior of the entire kingdom of Rune Mead!

Fifty years ago, the kingdom of Rune Mead faced its greatest crisis in a millennium, when a giant meteorite fell from the sky and landed in the Sukrat Desert on the edge of the important city of Monrok in the southwest. At that time, because it was smashed in the desert, it did not cause any damage, and the Kingdom of Lune did not pay much attention to it, but sent a team of soldiers to investigate in a hurry. When the soldiers arrived, they found that a bottomless sinkhole had been smashed out of the Sukrat Desert. Just as they were about to investigate, a large number of monsters poured out of the sinkhole, and the killing and war began at that moment.

At that time, the state immediately dispatched troops to encircle and suppress these monsters. At first, it was possible to limit the spread of monsters, but soon the situation changed when a giant monster with terrifying power appeared. The monster was known as the Demon King of Monrok, and as soon as he appeared, he swept away the army sent by the kingdom at that time, and the surrounding city of Monrok was almost destroyed. For the Demon King of Monrok, the country dispatched eighty percent of the top adventurers in the country, plus the strongest dragon knight legion, and even two divine envoys, but they were still helpless. In desperation, the kingdom could only decide to shrink its defensive line, and Monrok City could only be reluctantly divided into a land of abandonment.

Monrok's inhabitants were displaced.

At that time, neither the people nor the country could see the hope of retaking Monrok, and even worried about the safety of the country, no one knew if the Demon King of Monrok would continue to expand his power one day, and if he directly attacked Prontera, the capital of Lune, then who would resist it at that time. Rumors spread rampantly, the people began to panic, and the whole country fell into a turbulent pattern.

And all of this has changed because of one person, and that is Abner. At that time, the middle-aged Abner was already a well-known sage, but few people knew about him. That time, despite everyone's persuasion and hindrance, he entered the sinkhole alone, and after a month of entering, everyone thought he was dead. But I didn't expect that one day, Abner actually came back, and with his return, all of Monrok's monsters returned to the sinkhole for some reason, and the Monrok Demon King never appeared again. And the most unbelievable thing is that not long after, a magic power belonging to the Demon King of Monrok appeared above the sinkhole, and he actually sealed the sinkhole from the inside.

No one knew what Abner was doing inside, and Abner didn't say anything, and whoever asked, he didn't say a word about what was going on inside the sinkhole. However, this did not prevent him from becoming a savior, a great man admired by all nations. So even a thug like Andre has a fanatical adoration of Abner.

Seeing that Andrei recognized him, Abner smiled and said, "Hello, young man. ”

When Andre heard this, he immediately became excited, just like a fanatical star chaser, and kept saying to himself in his heart: "He actually spoke to me, and the great sage Abner actually spoke to me!"

And just when Andre was excited, Abner's other sentence almost blew Andre unconscious: "Are you willing to be my disciple...?"
