"Probably this is the last time I'll sleep here."

Lu Xi looked at his humble little room, and there was a feeling in his heart that he couldn't tell. No matter what kind of kennel it is, after all, it gives me the feeling of home, and it is impossible to say that I don't have nostalgia at all......

The boy bit his lip, sighed very unclely, and began to pack up.

A trench coat, two hunting suits, two winter clothes, four summer clothes, except for the one he wears, this is all his current clothing. The trench coat was made of terrain dragon skin, lined with fox bear fluff, which was both beautiful and practical, and was sewn by the sisters Tido and Nicole themselves.

Lu Xi gritted his teeth, folded the windbreaker, and placed it at the bottom of the box.

This is one of his most precious things. If he could, he would not have worn it in the rain and sun.

One thousand one hundred and twenty-three gold and one ten eight silver soles, these are all the savings that Lu Xi has saved so far.

That's a lot of money, enough to buy a small estate on the plains of Auckland. It stands to reason that a teenager in his teens cannot have such a value anyway, but he is also the founder and shareholder of the "Norda Development Group", and he often cheats adventurers and tourists into tipping under the banner of "five-star star tour guide", which can be regarded as a thin asset. Compared with other traverser predecessors who could become rich in a year and a half, Lu Xi was already a failure.

In addition, the place Lu Xi is going to now is the Natya Federation, known as the most progressive country in the human world, it is said that the prices there are getting higher and higher, and a cabbage may cost eight thousand, and with this little savings in his hand, he may not be able to afford a ten-square-meter tube building when he gets to the federal capital......

Well, as an assistant, I should be able to eat and live and increase my salary. The old devil didn't look like a miser...... However, this is not certain, politicians and bricks are the two most unreliable people, not to mention the combination of politicians and bricks.

Lu Xi put a big burden on his clothes and savings, and finally, his eyes stayed on a small portrait.

This is a portrait formed with natural ice crystals and imaging magic, and its clarity and beauty surpass that of digital photographs, but it is not easy to make, and that natural ice crystal alone is already a priceless treasure.

It was a gift from Grand Druid Tifario to Luci on his fifteenth birthday.

In the ice crystal photo, Tidlight put one hand around Lu Xi's neck, and the other hand pressed Lu Xi's head, like a bully sister who is bullying her younger brother; And Nivea hugged Lu Xi's arm tightly, with a sweet smile on her face.

"I don't know what happened to Nicole......"

The knock on the door came from outside the door, and Lu Xi could only wake up from his mixed feelings and quickly open the door.

The man who came in was Tifario, who was carrying a roast chicken and rabbit in one hand and two bottles of wine in the other.

"How long has it been since we've been drinking?" The Great Druid asked with a smile.

"Not since you went to the Ice Crystal Hall to be an otaku." Lu Xi replied.

"That's called retreat meditation! You bastard! Well, it's been at least more than half a year. Tifario nodded, "Close the door, it'll be a problem for those old woodmen to find out." ”

"Even if you are found out by Sister Tido, you will not be good, right?"

"Do you drink or not?"

"Drink!"

Elves are nature-loving, vegetarians, and occasionally hunt for the fur and bones of animals, rarely for the sake of satisfying their appetites, but perhaps because of Tifario's half-dragon blood, Lord the Great Druid's thirst for meat and wine surpasses that of most humans.

After three rounds of drinking, half of the roast rabbit was also belly, Lu Xi's face had begun to redden, and his mind was confused, but Tifario still did not change his face. The bloodline of the dragon clan brought him not only strength, but also superhuman food and alcohol. …,

"We found you a cheap teacher, you won't blame us, will you?"

"Honestly, it's a little bit. You know me, and what I hate the most is being run by others. With the strength of the wine, Lu Xi's courage was obviously much bigger, "Although I also understand your kindness, it is too sudden." ”

"Maybe it's a little sudden." "However, not consulting you in advance is not for us to dry up your life, but for the sake of stimulating you with this contingency." The key is your own thoughts, what you really think deep down. Little Lucy, you tell me seriously: Do you want to be stronger? ”

If someone else asked, Lu Xi would definitely answer in the affirmative. After all, if any traveler does not have the dream of being invincible in the world by breaking through the three thousand beauties of the Quartet, I am afraid that even the readers will not believe it.

However, when Lu Xi faced one of the people closest to him, he couldn't help but be silent.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Xi shook his head.

"I ...... I don't know. ”

Tifario seemed to have expected such an ambiguous answer, he nodded, and replied: "I don't know, because you probably have a vague feeling: with power comes responsibility." ”

Lu Xi smiled reluctantly on his face and did not answer.

"This world, after all, is still a stage for the strong, and the weak can only conform to the world law of the strong and humbly become a part of the long river of history. No matter how many flowery and sacred slogans those in power embellished, but that's what it is. ”

"This is not necessarily," Lu Xi couldn't help but respond, "It is the mortals who are regarded as weak that are the true cornerstone of the world, and when they awaken and unite to crusade against the strong who manipulate their fate, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens can only disappear." This is the true law of the world, otherwise why do you think the age of the gods will end? Intéchon must be realized, Ulla! ”

"Then, the stronger of the 'weak' becomes the new god, and the world begins another cycle." The Great Druid sneered: "No matter what kind of monstrous waves the united weak can set off, they are only a small drop of water after all, and only the strong can go down in history." Little Lucy, which one do you want to do? ”

"Usually people let him choose, it will be the latter, this is not nonsense. It's just, Daddy, why do you think you are the real strong? A very literary guy once said to me: power, money, wisdom, brute force, even if you have all of these, you are not necessarily strong. Only when the heart is strong is it truly strong. Daddy, what do you think? ”

"Incisive, absolute wisdom."

"However, I don't even know why I'm getting stronger now, so how can I talk about the strength of my soul?"

"Hahaha~~ How many of the so-called strong people in this world know the reason to become stronger? If you have this question, at least I don't have to worry about you falling into the devil's way. Tifario stroked his beard and laughed and patted Lu Xi on the shoulder. Then, his expression slowly tightened, and he said, "This answer can only be found by yourself, but this is not a reason why you are unwilling to become stronger. ”

“…… Well, maybe I can find such a reason in the process of becoming stronger. ”

"That's right, if you think about it, you have to do it. Words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, this is what the husband does! Tifario smiled even more cheerfully, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be overflowing with joy.

"It's just, Daddy, if I'm gone, there's no one to drink with you."

"Stinky boy, I still need you to worry about me. I am the body of a demigod in Tifario, invincible in the world. Where can I not go to the big world, and I am afraid that I will not find a drinking friend? ”

"Also, Daddy, I'm going to go far away, and I'm going to leave your shelter from now on, so there's no goodbye to it?" …,

"I knew you were a goose-plucking master," said Tifario angrily, "no, nothing." ”

"Soon I will leave the warm and picturesque forest of Nolda, and then face the rolling red dust of the world, if I don't have the slightest strength to protect myself, I will definitely be caught to cut pork, put on a tiger chair, and pour chili water."

"That's why I want you to study hard with Orucello! Don't keep thinking about using external forces! ”

"When I am blackmailed by the thugs, I will definitely say that I am a disciple of Tifario, and let you, Daddy, avenge me. Of course, at that time, the whole world will know that the dignified Druid Elder, a disciple of Tifario, one of the twelve heroes of the Enlightened War, can't even beat the thugs......"

“…… Well, since you call me daddy, it's a bit unreasonable to watch you go out and not even say anything. ”

"That's right, that's right."

Tifario's hand reached into his sleeve and fumbled for a long time. He pulled out his arm, already holding in his hand what appeared to be an unknown mass of metal made of unknown, stained metal.

"This thing...... Is it a rag? Make a rag out of metal, Daddy, I really admire your wrist strength. ”

Tifario glared at Lu Xi, and the "rag" unfolded in his hand, clearly a sleeveless chain mail.

"This is the armor I used when I was younger, carefully beaten by the dwarven master Röngoff. The chain is an extremely high Mithril alloy, lined with goggles made of pure gold, with magical crests engraved on them, allowing them to store protective magic. If you have this chain mail, it is impossible for ordinary weapons and spells to hurt you. ”

"Thank you, Dad...... However, why do the legendary sacred metals Mithril and Adamantite take on this color? You still say you didn't use it as a rag? ”

Tifario couldn't help but blush: "Do you want it or not?" ”

"Yes, yes." Lu Xi hurriedly snatched it over, he had already used the exploration technique just now to obtain the number of this chain mail.

Name: Filthy Mithril gold-encrusted chain mail. Quality (Silver Heirloom)

Attributes: Body armor 35, fire resistance +12, wind resistance +11. Stored Mana: Stone Skin Protector 4/10, Arcane Shield 3/10 (Castable Charge)

(System built yì: Because it was not properly preserved, this armor was covered with a lot of dust, but Mithril Essence will not be damaged by time, as long as it is cleaned well, it will definitely be able to restore its original brilliance)

As long as you take this chain mail, it is enough to buy a house in the first ring of the capital of Nadia, provided that it is properly washed.

"Plus, that's what Tido asked me to give you." Tifario pulled another longsword from his bosom. The scabbard is made of the bark of the sacred tree, and the metal hilt is inlaid with ice crystals and jadeite.

"Why didn't she give it to me herself?" Lu Xi stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it suspiciously. The sword is a very typical knight's double-edged straight sword, very different from the leaf-shaped sword and scimitar that elves like to use.

"Tido is also a girl, even if it is a decision, it needs to be entangled." Tifario said.

"Well, it sounds like you've got something really good." Lu Xi took the sword, blinked his eyes, and quickly got its information - this is just a silver quality, a sharp sword made of Mithril mixed with fine steel, the magic pattern of ice crystals and jade can also bring the bonus of strength 2, dexterity 3, and perception 2, although it is also valuable, but it is not a legendary divine weapon, how can it not make a high priest so solemn.

"This is Paan's saber back then. You should be familiar with this name, right? ”

Lu Xi's hand softened, and the sword almost fell out of his hand.

"Why did Sister Tido give me such an important thing?" Lu Xi handed the sword back, "This, this is too valuable, I definitely can't ask for it." ”…,

Tifario didn't answer: "Don't you know Tido's personality?" Since she gave you the sword, it means that she is ready to look forward. If the sword can exert the ability he should have, Pahn's spirit in the sky will also be happy, right? ”

"But why me? I don't know how to fight, so I should take the mage route in the future, and there should be many warriors who can exert its power even more, right? This is Parn's sword! ”

"Who is Parn in your mind?" Tifario asked with a wink.

"Isn't this nonsense? The Knight of the Dawn of Gaboa, the leader of the Dragon Knights during the Kaiming War, the leader of the Twelve Heroes, the good friend of Emperor Knoeus, and the ...... of Sister Tido Wife. ”

"Since he is such a great hero, don't you think his sword is too ordinary?"

That's true. After Pahn's death, the Dragon Knights had eight successive captains, each of whom was the greatest and most famous warrior of our time, and as legendary as their story was, the ancient sword in their hands.

In comparison, this magic sword of silver quality is really inconspicuous.

"The sword is the life of the swordsman's soul. Perhaps Tido just wants Pahn's soul to pass through the guò sword and teach you the true way of heroism. ”

I don't want to be a hero? Don't you know that heroes can't die well? Look at Pahn, although it has been praised for eternity, it has also caused Sister Tido to wash her face with tears for so many years...... Well, forget it, as a human being, he wouldn't have survived until now even if he hadn't died in battle, right?

Seeing Tifario's attitude, Lu Xi knew that he could only take this sword that represented the inheritance of the old era today, so he had to sigh and silently put the sword away.

"Daddy, without you, I would have starved to death. Now, it has given me so much hope and help; At this point, I really didn't know what to say. I'm really sorry......"

"Silly boy, between men, what do you need to say?" The Great Druid patted Lu Xi on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

Lu Xi couldn't help laughing. Yes, the friendship between men is so simple, to put it bluntly.

“…… I'm leaving tomorrow, and everyone who should say goodbye has said goodbye? Nicole was awake. Tifario saw the somewhat withdrawn gaze in Lu Xi's eyes and sighed secretly.

"I understand your mood right now, but you also need to know that a true man, no matter what he does, he should have a beginning and an end."

"An old bachelor who has never married a wife, what qualifications do you have to say about me." Lu Xi pursed his lips, but he didn't say it knowingly.
