Copenhagen, Denmark.
Behind the Copenhagen Grand Theatre, there is an independent small building, which is the residence of Mr. Hans Christian Andersen, the protector of Denmark.
In the open space outside the small building, a teenager was practicing knife skills.
He stood with his knife in hand, staring closely at a man-high wooden stake in front of him, his gaze fierce, as if staring at a life-and-death enemy.
Suddenly, he swung his sword, and in a flash, the standard long knife was swung behind him, but the wooden stake in front of him did not move, as if he had not been harmed in any way.
However, in less than a second, a faint green smoke rose from the top of the stake, and then a fire ignited!
The fire was not too big, it could only be regarded as a small flame, and the stake was thick enough that it seemed that the small flame would be extinguished naturally after a while.
But the boy didn't stop, with a twist of his wrist, the blade turned, and another knife was slashed!
"Huh"
Like a breeze, the stake remained motionless, but the flame on top of the stake was a little bigger!
"Hah"
The boy took a deep breath and grabbed the hilt of the knife with his other hand, raising the long knife above his head.
"Whew"
As the breath came out, the boy began to slash wildly! A series of shining sword lights instantly enveloped the entire wooden stake!
As if it had been poured with oil, the stake mountain felt the fire become fierce and violent, and even intensified, and began to spread towards the entire stake!
As the flames slowly extinguished, the boy also put his sword into its sheath, closed his eyes, and began to think about the shortcomings of the sword technique he had just practiced.
This young man is naturally Tommy, and what he practiced was the "Feasibility Exploration of the Knife Technique of Igniting Wood with Extreme Speed Chopping", also known as "Wood Burning Knife Technique", which was left to him by his teacher.
After thinking about the shortcomings and improvement plans of the knife technique, and resting for a while, Tommy drew the long knife again, ready to practice the knife technique again, and improve the slight deficiencies he had just discovered.
And at this time, a kind voice came from afar: "Tommy, Susan, come out, see who is coming!"
It was Mr. Andersen's voice, and Tommy turned his head to the place where the voice came from.
I saw Mr. Andersen, who was gray-haired but energetic, walking in front, and behind him, a tall and slender woman, with long hair and a shawl, and a smile on her face.
"Dangchang"
Tommy recognized her at once! His heart was so shocked that he could no longer control it, and tears welled up in his eyes, and he didn't even realize that the long knife had fallen to the ground.
His voice trembled and stumbled, as if he couldn't believe his eyes: "Ai ...... Sister Albert?"
It was Albert who appeared in front of him!
"Long time no see. Albert's voice was cold, but warm.
Tommy opened his mouth, but couldn't speak anyway.
In Greenstad, he saw Albert beaten and covered in blood and finally taken captive, leaving only a large pool of blood in his place.
And during this whole process, he could only hide in the corner, cover his mouth, and dare not make a sound, that was the first time he felt his weakness and powerlessness so deeply, and this was also the driving force that has supported him to do his best to cultivate martial arts to become stronger for so many years!
However, after many years, his benefactor finally appeared in front of his eyes, and he looked intact, exactly the same as when they first met.
Looking at the two of them getting closer and closer, Tommy seemed to turn into a statue and stood there motionless until the two of them came to him.
"Okay, it's me, I'm fine, I'm here to pick you up for your teacher. Albert smiled and patted Tommy on the head, then asked, "Where's Susan, aren't you home?"
"No...... No, she, she's out of town. After stammering and explaining, Tommy suddenly reacted and said in surprise, "Teacher, is he okay?"
"Of course, your teacher is in Germany now, and I was specially sent to pick you up this time, and it is always bad to trouble Mr. Andersen. Albert explained gently.
Then he looked back and thought to Mr. Andersen and saluted: "In the past few years, they have really troubled you. ”
"No trouble, no trouble, you will always be good friends of our Danes, we just provide a little shelter, don't take it to heart!" said Mr. Andersen, waving his hand again and again.
As they talked, several parents in the house also came out and greeted Albert with a look of surprise.
After a period of greetings, Albert asked puzzledly, "What about Susan? What is she doing when she goes out of the city? I heard that the remnants of the werewolf herders are still wreaking havoc in the northern countries, isn't it dangerous for Susan to go out of the city like this?"
"Susan, she...... Her martial arts practice is not ordinary, and she needs to go out of the city to do it...... This ......" Mr. Andersen's face was a little embarrassed: "It's not her original martial arts, Susan is talented and different, I taught her some small skills, most of this martial arts were founded by herself, so ......"
"It's okay, it's okay, Susan, it's an honor for her to have your teaching, I'm just a little worried about her safety. Albert quickly explained.
"Rest assured, as long as it's in the forest, no one can threaten Susan now. Mr. Andersen laughed and didn't explain much: "You will understand when you go and see it." ”
Tommy also hurriedly said, "Sister Albert, I'll take you to find Senior Sister." ”
......
Both of them were easy successes, but they came out of the city in a short time.
Copenhagen is an island with dense forests, and the city itself is surrounded by large forests.
After following Tommy through the dense forest for a while, the two of them came to the depths of the forest.
Then Albert saw a dreamlike vision.
Countless birds in the sky are flying around a fixed trajectory, turning into a circle, as if they are surrounding something. And countless birds chirp one after another in the treetops, but they are not nonsense, but with a simple rhythm, as if they are playing music.
And in the center, surrounded by birds, is a small clearing, and next to it is a clear stream.
The clearing itself is not strange, what is strange is that there are countless animals in this clearing!
Rabbits, martens, moose, wild goats, wild boars, jackals, grizzly bears......
At a cursory glance, there are no less than a dozen kinds of animals, herbivores and carnivorous animals, and these animals that have been fighting and hunting for food have all been very calm now, some sit on the ground, some lie on the ground, some roll, some run around, and they seem to get along very well, as if they are friends who play together, and there is no original wildness at all.
And in the middle of countless various animals, there is a young girl, she is holding a clump of grass, feeding a moose next to her, and on her lap, there is also a Danish mink as white as snow, and there are several animals next to her body rubbing affectionately, and there are even a few giant wolves inside, but they do not want to attack at all, and they are as close to each other as if they are the same kind.
Looking at the wonderful scene of various animals living in harmony in front of him, Albert opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say.
"Sister Susan, look, who's coming!" Tommy cried out as soon as he reached the edge of the clearing.
"Ai ..... Sister Albert?" The grass in the girl's hand fell to the ground.
"Susan, long time no see. Albert greeted him with a smile: "I'm here to pick you up for your teacher this time!"
"You...... Teacher, he ......" The girl's eyes flickered, and tears flowed.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, and your teacher is okay. Albert hurriedly stepped forward and comforted gently: "Your teacher, he is now on the German side!
