The warm sunlight shines on the earth and shines on the pedestrians, giving them the warmth of their bodies and the strength to move forward.

Lu Ming traveled for eight days, and his mental power was three times stronger than before, and at this rate, he would be able to become an intermediate apprentice swordsman before he arrived at Hardy Academy.

There are four levels of swordsmen, from lowest to highest: Trainee Swordsman, Swordsman, Great Swordsman and Juggernaut, and each level is divided into three levels: low, intermediate and high.

It is said that the highest-level Juggernaut will have other rank differentiations.

I took out the map and calculated, there were about three days to go. At this time, Lu Ming and the others came to a small village.

The village is clinging to the foot of the hill and houses are built around a lake.

The trees on the mountain are reflected in the lake, and looking down, the lake is blue-green in color, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant.

Lu Ming and Siliuer came here to rest, preparing food and water by the way, while Lilith flew beside Lu Ming and kept looking around.

In the southern part of the village there was a small inn owned by an old man with gray hair named Girard.

In charge of the chores is his grandson, named Alpha, who is a well-known genius boy. It is said that without the help of other practitioners, he awakened his spiritual power on his own.

There were no customers in the store today, and Old Gilat came down from the upper floors to talk to Alpha who was standing at the front desk.

Alpha was about sixteen years old, with brilliant blonde hair neatly groomed, a well-proportioned figure, and a confident smile on his face from time to time.

I only heard old Gilat sigh softly, "Alpha, my child. You're sixteen years old, you shouldn't be here anymore, it's time to get out and have a blast, your talents will be buried if you stay here. ”

Alpha smiled and replied, "Grandpa, you can't interfere with my freedom, not everyone likes to go on adventures and like to practice to gain great power. ”

Old Gilat looked at this grandson who exuded vitality, and patiently persuaded again: "I know what you think, your parents died early, and they have been dependent on me since childhood, and they are reluctant to leave me. But I'm still in good health, and I can always hold out until you come back to see me later. The chicks can only really fly if they leave the nest, alpha, you should understand. ”

Alpha still had a smile on his lips, but he became silent and stopped talking.

At that moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves, indicating that a guest was coming.

Alpha walked out of the counter, ready to greet the guests, and old Gilat couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly as he looked at Alpha's back.

Lu Ming was really tired after traveling for so many days, and he wanted to find a hotel to take a hot bath and then sleep comfortably.

Alpha walked out of the door and smiled, "Two guests, please go to the inn and choose a room, I will lead the horses to the backyard of the inn and feed them good hay." ”

Lu Ming chose a room at random, and Siliuer chose the one next to him.

After tidying up, the two went downstairs to the hall to talk to Old Gilat and Alpha.

The kind old Gilat and the enthusiastic Alpha made Lu Ming feel very relaxed, and he couldn't help but talk a lot.

Lu Ming told them that he had come here from the City of the Earth to study at Hardy Academy. Speaking of which, Old Gilat and Alpha were shocked at the same time.

Hadi Academy is the best cultivation academy in the entire Gelug Empire, but ordinary people can't enter it at all. Those who can enter and study there either have a noble status or a proud talent.

The two teenagers looked dressed in ordinary clothes, and since they had the confidence to study at Hardy Academy, it meant that they had extraordinary talents.

Alpha couldn't help but use the mental power in his mind and began to probe the two of them.

This is a method of using mental power that he has just recently researched, releasing spiritual power on a person, and you can get some information about him, such as the strength and state of the other party's mental power.

Lilith glanced at Alpha curiously, then turned her attention back to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming, who was still chatting, suddenly felt a spiritual power reaching towards him, there was no hostility, and he felt much stronger than his own spiritual power. Lu Ming turned his head in shock and looked at Alpha who was sitting upright.

Alpha probed Lu Ming's spiritual power and quickly got information feedback, and he found that Lu Ming's spiritual power was not as strong as his own, and he was inevitably disappointed in his heart.

Probing into Siliul's mental power was stopped by the group, and Alpha understood that this was because the other party's mental power far exceeded his own.

Celell had already known that he possessed the spiritual power of a high-level apprentice swordsman when he first met the blonde boy.

It could be dangerous for the psychic power to directly probe others, and Siliul sensed that the alpha was not hostile, so he let him do it.

Such an unfamiliar probing technique will definitely attract Lu Ming's attention, and this will be an experience for him.

After Lu Ming showed a stunned expression, Xiliuer spoke for the first time: "It's not polite to use spiritual power to probe others. ”

Syruel's voice was still as flat as ever.

After saying this, Siliuer's eyes widened slightly when he looked at Alpha, and a spiritual power was invoked by him, and the powerful momentum made Alpha's heart tremble, and his breathing became short.

This young man named Alpha was used by Syriel, but the punishment he deserved should not be less.

Unexpectedly, this silent silver-haired boy had such a powerful power, and Alpha was stunned.

The sudden change caught the elder Gilat off guard, he had run the inn for many years, and he had seen a lot of people in the world. It was immediately clear that it was the grandson who had done something to provoke the silver-haired young man.

Thinking of this, old Gilat knelt directly on the ground and said to Syrius: "Honorable lord, Alpha is young and ignorant, please don't punish him, I am willing to compensate you for the wealth that satisfies you." ”

Lu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Hurry up, old man." ”

At the same time, he turned his head to Siliuer and said, "Siliuer, stop it!"

When Siliuer regained his momentum, Alpha coughed violently a few times, slowly became breathing steadily, looked at Siliul with a frightened face, and obediently lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Lord for sparing." ”

When Old Gilat saw that Alpha was saved, he thanked him again and again, and went to his room to take out money as compensation, but was stopped by Lu Ming, who told him that it was all a misunderstanding.

The sincerity in Lu Ming's tone made old Gilat breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that Lu Ming had a higher status among the two, and he was a kind-hearted person.

In the eyes of the strong, the lives of civilians are insignificant, so he was really frightened just now, worried that Alpha would be killed.

Alpha was still very scared at this time, and he didn't dare to breathe. At that moment, he felt that his whole body could not move, and his life and death were in the hands of the silver-haired young man, and he could take it away at any time.

It wasn't until Lu Ming and Siliul returned to the room that Alpha breathed a sigh of relief, and old Gilat hurried over to comfort his grandson, and at the same time warned him not to be reckless in the future.

"You're going to freak the hell out of me! Don't do anything like this again, especially strangers!"

After this little episode, Lu Ming took a hot bath as usual, said hello to Lilith, and lay down on the bed and went to bed early.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone on Lu Ming's face through the shop window, and he slowly opened his eyes to welcome the new day.

Lu Ming smelled a fragrance and found that Lilith was lying on his chest sleeping soundly, unconsciously showed a smile, and touched Lilith's little head lovingly.

After getting along these days, Lu Ming discovers that the "ghost" is a magical creature.

In Lu Ming's eyes, Lilith was flesh and blood, and she could even smell the body fragrance coming from her, but others couldn't see it at all.

Even if Syrul used all his spiritual power and fighting qi bonus, he could only see a vague shadow.

Lilith can fly freely in the low air, and can freely pass through all objects, which is difficult for Lu Ming to understand.

Lilith, who was stroked by Lu Ming's head, woke up from her sleep and opened her hazy sleepy eyes, but then closed them again, rubbed Lu Ming's chest with her side face, and wanted to continue sleeping.

"Don't sleep lazy, little ones. Lu Ming said helplessly.

"But Brother Lu Ming, Lilith doesn't want to get up. Lilith coquettishly told Lu Ming.

"We're going to keep going today, and maybe we'll come across something interesting on the way, but if you don't get out of bed, you won't be able to see it. Lu Ming smiled.

"Really, then Lilith is going to see something fun!" Lilith flew up directly from Lu Ming after speaking, and said to Lu Ming: "Brother Lu Ming, hurry up!"

Lu Ming shook his head helplessly, thinking that Lilith was a "ghost" and still a child.

Just like yesterday, when Lu Ming was taking a bath, he wasted half a day of effort to explain to Lilith what the difference between men and women is, and left Lilith who wanted to follow Lu Ming in the door.

When Lu Ming came to the hall, he found that breakfast had been prepared, which Alpha bought from a nearby store, the hotel was not responsible for eating, and Old Gilat and Alpha couldn't cook, so they usually asked the nearby store to send it over.

Old Gilat felt that Lu Ming was kind-hearted and very talkative, so he made a reluctant request to Lu Ming.

I hope that Lu Ming will take Alpha to Hardy Academy together, and Alpha will be Lu Ming's attendant.

Squires have a lower status than knights. Compared to knights, squires were also responsible for other tasks, such as driving cars, tidying up the house, cleaning up the battlefield, and so on. It can be said that it is a hard job.

At this time, Alpha's face was eager, and yesterday's events made him really feel powerful.

This aroused his desire to become stronger, his unyielding character, and his desire to see the outside world.

Looking at Old Gilat with a pleading look, Lu Ming couldn't help but soften his heart and nodded in agreement.

He didn't care if he would get a loyal squire, because he didn't need someone else's care, but he didn't want to disappoint the old man.

Before they reached Hardy Academy, the team had already become four. Lu Ming was very happy and felt that his trip was really amazing.
