Chapter 7 The Sorrow of the Great Swordsman
"Is this what you packed up?" Thor's expression was a little dull.
"Yes." An Fei smiled shyly. The things he packed up were indeed too simple. Two white-washed clothes, a few packs of dried fish, and a wooden stick made of branches without any magical fluctuations. However, the shape of the wooden stick looked like a magic wand. There was a crab lying on An Fei's shoulder, spitting bubbles leisurely.
"As a great magician, Yagor won't have such a small collection, right?" Thor asked laughed and crying.
"That's the teacher's collection, not mine." An Fei replied.
"But Yagore has passed away forever. You are his only student. I think you are qualified to get Yagore's collection."
"No, different!" An Fei replied stubbornly: "The teacher is alone and alone on the deserted island, so let those collections accompany the teacher to sleep forever. I believe that as long as I am willing to endure hardships, my achievements will not be inferior to the teacher in the future."
Rare! Rare!! It's such a pure and beautiful jade! Thor sighed from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't know what the qualifications of this young man were, in terms of his nature, he could be said to be one in a hundred, no! He chose one in a million! The lucky Yagor actually accepted such a student before his death, which made Thor envious.
"But have you ever thought about it? Yagor has passed away, and the magic circle on the deserted island has long stopped operating. If anyone else discovers that deserted island, do you think they will leave all the collections like you?" Ernest said lightly.
"Ah" An Fei was stunned and showed a look of annoyance: "Then what should I do? What should I do?"
"Don't worry, I didn't bring the magic crystals this time. After I go back, I will bring some magic crystals back again and set up a magic circle so that no one will disturb Yagor's long sleep." Thor said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Saul!" An Fei said sincerely.
"Child, don't be too polite." Thor's eyes fell on the crab on An Fei's shoulder: "Is this your magic pet?" Thor thought the crab was An Fei's monster, but when he glanced over, he found that the crab had no magic fluctuations, it was just an ordinary crab.
"Yes, it is called Liuliu. In the past few years on the deserted island, Liuliu has been with me. I can't bear to leave it on the deserted island." An Fei smiled.
"Yagor has been on the deserted island for how many years have you been?" Sol originally wanted to ask how many years have Yagoor been dead, but later he was afraid that An Fei would be sad, so he changed his question.
"Well" An Fei thought seriously: "It's almost three years."
"Three years," Thor sighed a little. For ordinary teenagers, these three years are the most precious stages of life. Whether it is learning magic, sword skills, or learning a craft, how much development can be developed in the future depends on what foundation has been laid in the past few years. An Fei obviously wasted his most precious time!
"Okay, An Fei, go and rest. Your room is on the second floor below. After you go down, someone will lead you." Ernest continued.
"Well, I understand." An Fei smiled: "Master Thor, Uncle Ernest, you should also rest early." After that, An Fei walked down the deck.
Ernest watched An Fei's back disappear under the deck, and suddenly said, "What a pity."
"What a pity?"
"If I had met him a few years ago, I would have to find ways to accept him as my student." Ernest shook his head: "If I had only started practicing sword skills now, his future achievements would be extremely limited."
"Don't forget, he is a magic apprentice, a student of Yagore!" In fact, he also had the intention to accept An Fei as a student, but he was worried that An Fei had become an student of Yagore, and An Fei was very loyal to Yagore. If he explained the matter clearly, he would be afraid of An Fei's polite refusal, then his face would be a little unhappy. After all, he is a great magician. Which young man from the continent doesn't want to be his student? That's why Thor temporarily suppressed his thoughts. At this moment, Thor seemed a little unhappy when he heard Ernest's words.
"What? Do you want to accept him as a student, too?" Ernest smiled.
"This child's character is indeed rare." Thor hesitated for a moment: "The problem is, he and Yagor."
"He is just Yagore's experimental subject. There is no teacher-student relationship between the two. An Fei is still young and doesn't know that life is dangerous. When he grows up, he will think about how he almost becomes an experimental subject. He will no longer miss Yagore." Ernest said: "At the same time, you want to accept students, not to find a wife. Is it necessary to take care of so many people? If you think it's OK, just accept him as your student. If you think it's not OK, just let go of this matter and don't do it."
Thor smiled bitterly and said, "You can't say that."
"What should I say?" Ernest curled his lips: "If you are afraid of losing face, I can ask indirectly for you."
"Not good?" Thor said hesitantly: "An Fei and us have only known each other for a day. Can you trust us?" Ernest's words hit Saul's thoughts, and it was a good idea to ask Ernest to ask. Although it was good, he would not be embarrassed.
"Okay, I won't ask if you can't say it well, so I can save me some trouble."
"You boy" Thor was angry and laughed.
"Don't beat around the bush with me, just tell me clearly, do you want to accept An Fei as your student?"
"Think." Saul said honestly. After dating Ernest for so many years, he knew Ernest's character very well. On the surface, Ernest is a person with a stoic, strong, and indifferent personality. In fact, Ernest's character is very tricky and weird, and often makes some old friends laugh and cry. In order to accept a good student, it is not a bad idea to lower his head in front of Ernest.
"Isn't that all?" Ernest smiled satisfied: "Sol, I found that the more you get older you are, the less courageous you are. You just want to deal with Yagor. You have to force me to come all the way to be a helper. Are you so afraid of Yagor?"
"I'm not afraid of Yagor, and Yagor is not afraid of me, but we don't want to hit each other in a tit-for-tat way." Thor sighed: "There are too many unexpected factors in the duel between magicians. A subtle, unpredictable change is enough to make the balance tilt irreversible. I'm not like you who are single, I'm alone," Thor said, and quickly shut up, and he realized that he had accidentally talked about Ernest's pain.
"Then you ask me to be your helper?" Ernest smiled faintly: "Does your doing so violate the principle of fairness and justice?"
"I'm not a knight, and I never want to be a knight." Thor's smile was a little cold: "Ernest, you keep saying that An Fei doesn't know that life is dangerous, but what about you? Are you still believing in the principles of fairness and justice? Have you forgotten your past experience? Yagor is introverted and likes to be alone and has no help to find him, otherwise he would have found someone to deal with me long ago!"
Ernest was speechless. After he became a great sword master, he repeatedly challenged the other great sword masters in order to find a breakthrough. As a result, he fell into a trap and was besieged by several people. Two of them were the great sword masters he had defeated. Although he almost died and escaped, he was injured for two years. All five of his students died in the Torrebitz Mountain. What made Ernest feel even more depressed was that the other party had made sufficient preparations. After the war, rumors spread everywhere that Ernest was in vain to be a great sword master. He actually wiped a severe poison on the sword and plotted against Jerofik. The other great sword masters who were watching the battle took action together to save Jerofik, and Jerofik was his opponent who made an appointment in the battle.
Of course, Jerofik was indeed injured by a sword, and the wound was indeed poisonous. Both sides said that the mother was right, and the mother said that the mother was right and the mother was right and argued endlessly. However, the strength that several great sword masters could unite to activate was far greater than Ernest. In the battle of argument, Ernest lost and lost a lot. In the end, he became a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted and beaten, and a ridiculous coward!
Since then, Ernest has no longer been a pure swordsman, and his perception of life has become much richer.
For the strong man who has reached the peak of his life, sometimes reputation is more important than life, so Jerofik would rather take the risk of slashing himself with a poisonous sword, and avoid a fair showdown with Ernest. Of course, Jerofik paid a heavy price. With such a knot in his heart, he would never have the possibility of a breakthrough in his life!
Seeing Ernest's face full of loneliness, Thor knew that his words were a little heavy, he slowed down and changed the subject: "Ernest, I find that you are very enthusiastic about An Fei, why?"
"I saw my past shadow in him, and I wanted to find a strong and safe support for him." Ernest said lightly.
"You can accept him as your student. Let's compete fairly once to see who can get his favor first." Thor said jokingly.
"I can't do it. I have so many enemies that I can't count. You are not only a great wizard in the palace, but also the dean of the Magic Academy. You have power and status. Letting him follow you is the best choice."
"Are you mocking me?" Thor smiled bitterly again.
"No, I'm just explaining a fact."
At the same time, the "good child" An Fei sat on his bed, bored and fiddled with the small fireball in his hand.
It is a good thing and a sad thing to be a person who is good at hiding his nature and facing the world with a adaptable attitude! Because after changing the mask, he may have forgotten which mask belongs to him and which mask was borrowed. This is how An Fei is. Since he became an assassin, he has forgotten his nature and can always adapt to the situation. Today he plays a stupid young man, tomorrow he plays a calm and skilled successful person, and the day after tomorrow he becomes a nouveau riche, but he ends up forgetting what he is!
Fortunately, An Fei will never violate the established principles. No matter how temptation or how much profit he has, he will never kill anyone who should not die! The principle is An Fei's guide to life in a confused life. It is precisely because of this that he can still maintain a ray of kindness when his hands are covered in blood.
An Fei was deceiving Thor and Ernest, but this was not a malicious deception. He just wanted to protect himself. Although he had not been in contact for a long time, An Fei had already judged from all signs that Thor and Ernest were both good people. When talking about the collection left by Yagor, the two of them had no greed at all. This was valuable! Moreover, from the eyes of Thor and Ernest, An Fei understood that concern, unless the other party could act better than him, but from another perspective, he was just a penniless and had no value in use, and the other party had no need to act with him, so An Fei believed in his judgment.
It is to continue to win the other party's favor, after all, it is better to enjoy the cool air with a big tree on your back? Or to part ways on the shore and go on your own? An Fei is a little undecided. From now on, he already owe Thor and Ernest a kind of affection, but An Fei is not used to owe others things, so he always has to repay something. The problem is that he is still wearing a mask of innocence and simplicity. What can he help the other party in this situation?
As An Fei breathed, the burning flames in his hand sometimes contracted like a rotating ball, and sometimes spread like a blooming lotus. No magic apprentice in the world can practice the small fireball for more than a few years. There are countless powerful and gorgeous magics waiting for them to practice. Why waste energy on the lowest level of magic? People like An Fei are unique.
