Chapter Twenty-Eight: Settling In
There are three major kingdoms in the continent, among which the Ottoman Empire led by the sword saint Abel is located at the southwest end of the continent. The southern and western sides of the empire are surrounded by mountains, with the Delhi River, one of the largest rivers on the Ranfa continent in the north, as a natural moat, and the mysterious ancient forest in the east as a natural barrier. The entire Ottoman Empire is divided into a total of 28 cities, large and small, and the destination of Wuqi and Abel is naturally among these 28 cities, which is the most central Sword Saint City in the empire. The reason why it is named after the title of Sword Master is entirely because Abel's palace was built in this city, and the most famous sword academy of the Ottoman Empire was also located in this city, which gave rise to the origin of Sword Saint City.
The Sword Academy is the place where Abel wants to take Wuqi there, and he doesn't plan to teach Wuqi swordsmanship by hand. As a king, dealing with state affairs is a major event in his life, and for Wuqi, he had already made up his mind before leaving Wushan, so he put him in the swordsmanship academy and let the school's teachers take care of him, and he didn't plan to care about the study of swordsmanship at all. Although Wuqi's amazing memory before gave him a hint of the idea of accepting him as an apprentice, but this was only a momentary thought, unless Wuqi could make some achievements that he could see in this one-year school life, he would refuse Uggins' request and accept Wuqi as a disciple one year later. Otherwise, it would be better for Wuqi not to stay in his own country after 1 year, otherwise when his ministers learned that he had brought a waste with extremely poor qualifications to study at the swordsmanship academy that only the elite of ordinary people could enter, he would be very faceless.
For a Sacred Realm powerhouse like Abel, who will not die of old age, face has become something as important as dignity. As for the powerful power recorded in the Nameless Scroll, he had a different plan in his heart. If Wuqi still doesn't want to tell him the contents of it in the past 1 year, then he will simply wait a few more years, and when Wuqi is sensible, when he is about fifteen or six years old, invite him to come to his country again, and let him tell him the contents of the nameless scroll to himself. Of course, if Wuqi's performance is outstanding this year, and he accepts Wuqi as a personal disciple, it will naturally be the best.
The corners of Abel's mouth, which was flying over the continent of Lanfa, couldn't help but show a smug smile, but Wuqi on his back was like a newborn child at this time, crying snot and tears, making Abel depressed and abnormal, he never thought that Wuqi, a child who seemed to be more mature than his peers, would be afraid of heights.
"Mom, I'm going home, I'm going home! Master, come and save me!"
"Don't make noise, be quiet!"
"I'm not going down the mountain, I'm going home!"
"Hey, don't get snot on my armor!"
"Uncle, you're so scary! I'm going home!"
Flying is the most basic stunt of the Sanctuary powerhouse, and it is also the stunt that consumes the least energy in the body, but the flying technique is the stunt that needs the most stable breath in the process of casting. And for Abel, who is at the peak of the Holy Domain, letting him fly with a 7-year-old kid is simply a trivial matter not worth mentioning, let alone one person, even if he brings three or four more people, he can fly easily. But the problem is that since Wuqi hit the sky, he has begun to be restless because of his fear of heights, and he keeps waving his limbs and struggling with all his might, trying to break free from Abel's arms, but how can this 7-year-old child break free from the hands of a Sacred Domain powerhouse? Not to mention a child, even a master-level peak powerhouse can't do it.
At first, looking at Wuqi who was constantly struggling in his hand, Abel still cast a disdainful look at him, but then his face turned from gloomy to rainy. Wu Qi couldn't break free, he actually spat on him, and stuck the snot that flowed to his lips to Abel's clean armor, which made his lungs completely explode, and in a fit of anger, he really let go of Wu Qi. Seeing Wuqi's panicked and crying expression in mid-air, a wave of pride rose in his heart, but soon Able discovered the seriousness of the problem. If he falls at this height, he will definitely die, and if he dies, how can he explain to the two guys Ugins and Watson? And the nameless scroll will really become an ownerless thing? What if the nameless scroll disappears along with the death of its owner, Wuqi? After all, this nameless scroll is not a mortal thing, and although he has not seen it with his own eyes, he has heard about it a long time ago, although he has not seen it with his own eyes.
Thinking of this, Abel secretly punched himself in the chest, "I'm really confused." How could I be so easily provoked by this little brat? After blaming himself, he turned his gaze and fixed his eyes on the figure that was gradually disappearing in his eyes, and his whole body suddenly flashed with dazzling white light, chasing in the direction where the other party fell like a meteor catching the moon. Wuqi, whose body was sinking, felt that the white light in front of him suddenly flashed, and his body stopped for no reason, and then slowly floated up to the curl, and he was surprised for a while, and he forgot to cry, but looked around with curiosity, his eyes were full of surprise. He subconsciously looked under him, only to realize that he was riding on a cloud of silver-white light with his legs spread apart.
"Fly to the sky!" "Fly to the sky!" After staring at the white light with his little eyes for a long time, he suddenly said tentatively and casually, and the white light actually lifted him up a few meters to the dragon.
"Fly to the left!" After discovering that his command was effective, Wuqi tentatively pointed to the left, but Bai Guang flew a few meters to the left according to his instructions before stopping. After that, he commanded the white light to fly forward and backward, and flew several meters to the right, only to finally be pleasantly surprised to find that this was a ball of white light that would fly according to his intentions, and he actually picked up a big treasure today.
A bright smile suddenly appeared on the little face, and Wuqi's expression at this time was like that of a military advisor who commanded a certain order, and wherever he pointed to, the white light would carry him wherever he flew. But when he waved his hand heavily at a distant canyon in a commanding tone, Bai Guang didn't move at all this time, but let out an angry complaint.
"Little thing, have you had enough, don't even let me take a break!"
"Huh!?" Wuqi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this familiar voice, isn't this the uncle who left him down just now?
"It turned out to be an uncle!"
"Nonsense! It's not me, who else would be so used to you!" As soon as Wuqi recognized his voice, a look of relief suddenly rose on Abel's face in the white light, and he asked lightly, "Are you still afraid of heights now?"
"I'm not afraid. Wuqi mischievously wiped it under his nose with his index finger, "I think it's quite fun now! ”
Hmph! You're having fun, but you're tired of me.
Although he said this in his heart, Abel still did not show a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, he waved away the white light around his body with one hand, and Wu Qi saw that he was riding on Abel's waist, Abel's body was floating in the air, with his back to himself, and he realized that the white light was so obedient, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart.
"Alright. You've had enough, and you're not afraid of heights now, so we're going to fly to Sword Saint City now. Little thing, hold on, I'm going to speed up this time, uncle. ”
"Good. ”
Abel's figure flashed suddenly and disappeared into its original position, but what he never expected was that this sudden acceleration of the flight, instead of allowing him to gain peace again, attracted a louder cry from Wuqi. Helplessly, he knew that it would be useless to stop any longer, so he had to be ruthless, ignoring the crying father on his back, and plunged into the distant sky, drawing a beautiful white light in the blue sky.
In Sword Saint City, in the office of the principal of the Sword Academy, a middle-aged man in a red shirt was looking at an old man with green hair sitting on the principal's chair in front of him with a look of embarrassment. The middle-aged man was born with a standard Chinese face, with ordinary facial features, but there was an extraordinary temperament hidden between his eyebrows, and although the old man in front of him was old and his skin was wrinkled, the aura emanating from the old man's body was much stronger than that of the middle-aged man. At this time, both of them frowned at the same time, and they were annoyed by a sudden little thing, and the air around them became irritable.
"Principal Dori, see if you can arrange a place for this Wuqi, this is the child that His Majesty the King personally asked me to take care of for him!" After a long silence, the middle-aged man took the initiative to speak his thoughts.
Hearing the middle-aged man's thoughts, Dori's brows furrowed even tighter, and his nose and eyes were almost squeezed together, "Sakai! But now this is not surprising, I took a preliminary look at his qualifications, and he didn't have any talent for practicing swordsmanship at all. He doesn't have any hope of becoming a qualified swordsman in our school in the future. You asked me to arrange a special room for such a child, it is simply impossible, and this year's school has exceeded the target, and the dormitory is full, where do you want me to arrange a place for him?"
Dori cleverly threw the problem to the middle-aged Sakai again. How could Sakai not understand Dori's concerns, that the headmaster of his dignified swordsmanship academy would not even be able to leave a place to live? Isn't the reason why Dori said this just to save face? Wasn't he just afraid that after Wuqi would get into trouble outside in the future, he would be found in the school and his old face would not be able to put it aside? This old fox is really not a good thing!
Although Sakai greeted the eighteen generations of Dori's ancestors in his heart, he couldn't say that on the surface, he deliberately showed a look of understanding, nodded slowly, and then stopped speaking, and the principal's office fell into a tense atmosphere again.
"That's right!" Sakai pondered for a long time and suddenly thought of a residence where Wuqi could live, he looked at Principal Dori who cast an expectant gaze at him with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "In the suburbs, isn't there an abandoned old house?
"What are you talking about! If I can really vacate the dormitory, will I not arrange for the children that His Majesty has specially asked to take care of in a comfortable environment?" A look of displeasure appeared on Dori's face, but then he nodded with a relaxed expression, and said with a smile, "However, since he has a place to live, he should be content." Although there was a strange man living in that room, I am sure he would not have done anything to a child. ”
As he spoke, he and Sakai looked at each other and smiled, but secretly sneered in their hearts: It is strange that he will not make a move on the child, it is best for him to kill him, so that His Majesty the King will not blame me, anyway, this idea was conceived by Sakai, and I don't have to worry about what this child will do if he causes trouble for me in the future!
