Chapter 16 Eight Years

"Climb back. ”

"Climb back, where to climb back?" even though Starmark already had a certain guess in his mind, he couldn't help but ask.

The mysterious man pointed to the top of the Optimus Pillar and said, "Climb back up on it." His voice was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, as if he were talking about the most ordinary thing.

However, in the ears of the stars, it was like a bomb exploding. Starmark looked at the mysterious man as if he had seen a ghost, and then at the place where he had fallen. Below, all Star Scar could see was a stone pillar that reached to the sky, and the top was so cloudy and misty that there was no top in sight. Starmark didn't know how high it was, but by his guess, it would be at least a kilometer away.

"You... You're not kidding, are you? how is this possible to climb up?" Starmark swallowed, whispering to the mysterious man.

When the mysterious man heard this, he didn't patiently answer Starmark's words, but tapped lightly on the ground with his toes. As the mysterious man did, a black circle centered on the stone pillar appeared, and the circle gradually contracted towards the stone pillar.

Starmark's eyes suddenly widened, and he saw that as the circle contracted, the ground where he passed was dyed black, and the grass and trees on it also withered in an instant, and the dragonflies that had been staying on the flowers turned into ashes in an instant. Starmark didn't know what the black circle was, but instinct had already told him that if he touched it, he would have nothing good to eat.

"You're going to kill me!" Starmark yelled in his heart, whether he wanted it or not, there was only one path in front of him, and that was to climb up the boulder pillar!

Holding the gap in the pillar with both hands, the star mark began to climb towards the top of the pillar, but the black circle did not stop shrinking, and when it contracted to the base of the pillar, it turned and spread upward.

Climbing on a stone wall is by no means an easy task for a normal adult, let alone Starmark is just a child, he doesn't have any tools, all he can rely on is his own hands, but how much power can his small body contain?

More than thirty meters away from the stone pillar, there was a small figure trembling constantly, and the black had spread to his feet, and it was about to engulf him. Starmark's little face turned pale, looking at the black energy that gradually caught up with him, he was eager to take a step up, but his fingertips were already painful and unconscious, his arms were sore, even a lift was extremely difficult, and his legs were trembling because of the loss of strength, this was already his limit, although thirty meters was not very high, but for a child who climbed with his bare hands, this was actually a miracle.

In desperation, Starmark tried to lift his leg upwards again, but his other leg could no longer support it, and a sensation like electricity swept through it, and the leg used to support his body instantly lost consciousness, and the next moment, Starmark's body fell from the stone pillar.

At a height of more than thirty meters, not to mention the weird black energy below, even if you fall directly, you will fall half to death. However, the falling star mark did not show a look of fear, because he was already too tired to faint.

A familiar fishy smell came, and Starmark immediately choked and opened his eyes, just in time to see the mysterious person feeding himself porridge, only this time it was not a bowl, but a basin.

Starmark had a hard time thinking about how he had managed to drink a bowl of porridge that was worse than poison, but he just finished it, and even in the end, he took the initiative to raise his sore arm and pour it into his mouth, as if his body was ordering him to eat it, contrary to Starmark's thoughts. After drinking, the mystery man leaves, only to tell Starmark that he will continue tomorrow, and Starmark is already tired and falls asleep again.

The next day, Starmark was dropped in the same way, and then he was forced to climb the stone pillar in the same way, this time he climbed forty meters before fainting.

In this way, day after day, every day Starmark repeats that he is thrown from the sky, and then climbs the stone pillar until he faints from exhaustion, and then he is poured into a large basin of porridge that is extremely unpalatable. Gradually, the porridge became less unpalatable, and the height that Starmark could climb became higher and higher.

A year later...

In the sunset, the figure of a young man appeared on the top of the stone pillar with difficulty, yes, Xingji climbed to the top with his own hands! Looking at the sunset gradually setting in the distance, Xingji let out a long howl! He did not have the bitterness of this year in his heart at this time, but only the refreshment after success!

However, after the refreshment, the mysterious man had already floated in front of Starmark, and then said in the same indifferent words as a year ago: "Starting tomorrow, I will speed up the spread of the Circle of Corrosion, and at the same time I will teach you some skills, you think about what you want to learn, tell me tomorrow." ”

Starmark, who was still cheering for his success just now, stopped abruptly, and his face couldn't tell how ugly it was, but after a year, he knew that his master never joked, so he immediately screamed and rushed into the house to carry out the rest that he had been accustomed to for a year...

On the day the starmark disappeared, André and Krell began to look for the starmark, and with Krel's rights, the two found out that in the tragedy of the fire in the old town, a teenager who looked like the starmark ran in, and did not appear until the fire consumed everything.

At first, because Starmark's body was not seen at the scene, neither Krell nor Andre believed that Starmark would die in the fire. But as time passed, when it was confirmed that it was the star mark, both fell silent. Marquis Krell chose to accept it, and although Andre never admitted that Starmark would die in it, he actually couldn't find an excuse in his heart to support his claim.

André approached Abner for his enlightenment, but the latter only said to André something he did not understand: "The stars fall and the stars appear, and the stars disappear." ”

In this way, the star mark disappeared from everyone's sight, but time did not stand still because of this, and just like that, eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

......

A villa in the east of Prontera.

There is a villa that occupies an area of about five acres of land, the area of five acres of land is not large if placed in other places, but in the capital of the Kingdom of Lune, for Prontera, this five-acre villa represents not only money, but also a symbol of status and status, because in this city, there are only four households with a residential area of five acres, and all of them are powerful ministers of the dynasty! And the owner of this villa is in charge of the mansion of Duke Shawsenald, the general of the First Legion known as the "Spear of Breaking the Realm" in the Kingdom of Lune.

For the title of Shaw Senard, most of them choose general. As the title suggests, he behaves in a completely military manner, even in his daily life. And Shawsonard is very decent, even his children can't get any convenience with him, let alone those who turn to him and want to seek convenience. Because of this, Chausennard has made a lot of enemies, and he is often excluded in the court, and he is definitely a thorn in the side of many people, and his impeachment can fill the street, but his position has never wavered, and he is increasingly reused by the monarch.

Shawsonard's life was simple, he was accustomed to simplicity and no extravagance, and in the huge house, except for a few basic servants who were responsible for food and cleaning, there was only a team of ten people in charge of security.

Speaking of this ten-man squad, this is also the only rule that Shawsonard has set privately in his life! This ten-man squad is not fixed, it is drawn from some of the dragoon armies under his jurisdiction, and it is rotated every three months. Putting a Dragoon soldier as a caretaker would be scoffed at by the elite warriors. But the place in the Chauson Ente family nursing home is something that every member of the Dragoon Brigade desires.

It's not that working for Shosenard would pay a lot of money, on the contrary, they don't earn half a penny for their security work. The reason why they squeezed their heads to grab one of the places was because in this special nursing home work, they would get something more useful, that is, Shawsonard's individual instruction training! This is like a small class for them, a meal for them from practical combat to theory. Every wave of squads that return to the army from the Shorenard house will stand out in the daily assessment of the army, and the door to the glory of the military will also open for them at that moment...

......

"Captain, we'll go back in three days, and you said that as soon as we go back, will you be promoted to regimental commander, so that you can break the record and become the fastest person to become the regimental commander after enlisting in the army!

The young man he called the captain had long blond hair and a hint of sinister stint on his handsome face, and his name was Andre. After the disappearance of the star mark, Andre also returned to the city of swordsmen Isrud to study, with excellent results, Andrei, who was already past his age, was selected into the strongest legion of the Kingdom of Rune, the Dragon Knight Legion.
