In the face of old Adrian's praise, Alan was a little embarrassed, so he smiled and nodded and stopped talking.

Just then they suddenly heard a noise behind them, looked back at the gate of the fence, and just in time to see Kelly jumping off Arthur's back.

"Long time no see, Alan, Riel!" Kelly looked excited, trotting over with a bucket for the back-backed elacanth.

"Long time no see, Kelly!" both replied at the same time.

"You two grow so fast!" Kelly said as he approached them, looked at them carefully, and gestured, "I remember when we first met, you were only so tall, and now you both look like adults!"

"You've changed a lot, I almost don't recognize you!" "Riel looked at Kelly carefully and exclaimed, "Oh my God, how comfortable are you with Mr. Adrian, and where do you get all your muscles!?"

It's no wonder that Riel was surprised that Kelly in front of him was completely different from a year ago. At that time, he looked haggard, skinny, and could clearly count even the ribs on his body when he was panting, but in just one year's effort, his eyes had become extremely sharp, and his whole body was also full of tight muscles, and with a little force, he could see very obvious muscle mass.

"Like you, he hasn't been idle this year. Old Adrian smiled when he saw that the two of them were so surprised, and said, "He gets up at about four or five o'clock every day, and no matter what the weather, he has to run a few times up and down the quiet mountain, and then go swimming in the blue lagoon, catch a few fish and come back for breakfast, and then he will not see him for the whole day." Every time I came back for lunch at noon, I could only see the roasted game on the campfire, but there was no sign of him, and I didn't see him until I came back from the shop in the evening. ”

"Did you find something interesting in the mountains? Riel asked curiously.

"Well, it's not ......," Kelly looked at Riel with a little embarrassment, "but there are quite a few things that interest me, such as the long-tailed hares that run fast and the rare grey-haired boars......"

"Could it be...... Are you practicing your hunting skills?" Alan immediately guessed what was going on.

"Yes, you guessed it......" Kelly nodded, breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, looking a little worried, "Hunger, cold, scorching heat, we are not afraid of these, we can survive by gritting our teeth, but too comfortable environment will make us blind and deaf." ”

Alan nodded, deep in agreement: "That's right, not only for you, but also for us. ”

"What are you talking about, some blind and deaf?" said Ryle.

However, Kelly seemed to be thinking about something, and continued to say to himself, "Since that time with Kayla, I have realized how far apart I am from my elders...... In their eyes, I may really be like a pet...... And I know that we werewolves will not give up their prey easily, and he will come to him one day......"

"It's okay, if he really dares to trouble you again, we will definitely help you, we are not the same as a year ago!" Riel said as he rolled up his sleeves and looked eager to try, "We've learned a lot of new magic in Crivari, so we'll be sure to give him some color when the time comes!"

"Oh, what kind of magic did that great Mr. Connor learn to boast so much?" said old Adrian, glancing at him.

"Starlight can teleport me from one place to another in an instant!" Rare looked smug and gestured, "I can cast spells in half a minute now!"

"Oh, that's great, it's the signature magic of the space-time system, and it's extremely useful. Old Adrian leaned in and looked at the emblem on his chest, complimentingly.

"No, I'm also the one who was admitted to the Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and successfully promoted to the second year, and the people who can enter there to study are the best of the best......" Riel said more and more flutteringly.

"But ......," said old Adrian, "this magic is cool, but what can it do with werewolves...... Do you transfer yourself to them and fight them hand-to-hand?"

"Uh......" Rare was suddenly confused by the question that Old Adrian had raised. He only thought about what he had learned, but never thought about when he would be able to use it.

"Not to mention that you're not as strong as them, you have no chance of winning hand-to-hand combat, and even if you use magic, you won't necessarily be able to hurt them...... Because during the long years of fighting against magicians, their bodies gradually developed a certain resistance to magic. "So I'd advise you, clever Mr. Connor, not to think about how you can give them some color when you meet them, and to run away with the starlight." ”

"Uh......" Rare was so embarrassed by Old Adrian's words that he didn't dare to look up at all.

However, old Adrian didn't seem to be going to let him go easily, and added: "No, I seem to have overestimated you, and you may not even have a chance to use Starlight, because thirty seconds is enough for an adult werewolf to tear you to pieces." ”

"Poof. Alan finally couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Although he was accustomed to the old Adrian's style of speaking, such a point-to-point sarcasm was really rare.

"So you have to remember, Rare. Old Adrian suddenly put away his joking tone when he said this, and said, "You must keep a clear mind at all times, you must look at yourself objectively, and you must not be blindly confident." My years of travel have taught me that this continent is not as safe as it seems, and that blind confidence can destroy you one day or in a moment. ”

When Rare heard this, he realized what old Adrian wanted to tell him, so he nodded vigorously and said no more.

Alan also understood that in fact, old Adrian's words were also meant for him, because old Adrian stared at him meaningfully after finishing speaking, and he nodded slightly.

"Alright, we've been standing and talking long enough, let's have some breakfast first, I'm already hungry. Perhaps to alleviate the somewhat dreary atmosphere, old Adrian took the initiative to divert the subject.

"Okay, I'll go get ready. Kelly said as he walked over to the campfire.

"What's the scar on your face?" Alan suddenly noticed that Kelly seemed to have several thin wounds on his cheek, as if they had been scratched by something.

"Ah, that's what you say......" Kelly said with a smile as he pointed to his left cheek, "those wild boars covered in short thorns are not easy to deal with, especially in the beginning, they have caused me a lot of suffering...... I had to enlist Arthur's help to subdue them. ”

"That's a lot of fun...... old Adrian laughed suddenly, and said to Alan and Riel, "at first Arthur hated him, but since he once curryed favor with Arthur with a couple of long-tailed hares, and took him out hunting, Arthur seems to have become addicted to it, and this little yard can't keep it closed...... Now they are almost inseparable, and when they go out all day, I, the old man, have become a loner. ”

Speaking of which, Alan suddenly felt that someone behind him nudged him, and when he looked back, he found that he didn't know when Arthur had come behind him.

"Long time no see. Alan touched its head, "Miss us?"

Arthur also responded by rubbing his head against Alan's face.

Arthur had grown a lot taller and stronger than he had been a year ago, and now he was taller than a unicorn standing here, and it seemed that it would not be a problem to take Kelly and Riel for a ride in mid-air with him. However, its eyes have not changed, and they are still as sharp as ever.
