Lucio finished carrying three hundred kilograms of weight-bearing training stones, and after showering, there's a burning sensation on his back, it's probably because the skin on his back is chafed.
When he returned to the dormitory, he saw Hetor taking out an old pink sachet from Lucio's old clothes. He turned the sachet over and over and looked at it several times, and when he saw Lucio coming over, he couldn't help but joked: "This pink sachet has turned white after washing, but you still keep it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucio took a few steps quickly, stretched out his hand and snatched the sachet.
"Hey! Lucio, Is there any point in...? She's just a village girl! And maybe she has a new fiancé now. Why are you still thinking about her? Maybe she will be married and have children when you go back..."
Seeing Lucio's brow furrowed with anger, Hector wanted to make a joke, but suddenly a horn sounded outside, and their expressions suddenly changed. They rushed out without saying a word, wearing the clothes. If they were late tonight. They have to carry a rock weighing 350 kilograms ten times around the training ground, which could be exhausting to death!
But the two of them didn't know that this horn was no longer the sound that brought the Kyoto knights to train every day, but the sound of death. In the next three years, they will go through a more difficult training period. At that time, when they recalled the days of training at the Kyoto Knights Camp, they would feel very happy.
One long year seems to have lasted ten years. The number of this hundred-man elite team has been extremely reduced to half of its original number, and the remaining ones are all half-dead. Everyone is in ragged clothes and covered with scars. These are all journeys across thousands of miles of rivers in winter, and hundreds of miles of jungle in summer, torn apart by wind, snow and thorns along the way.
When they left the Capital Knights camp and learned that they might become members of the Royal Knights in the future, everyone was filled with such passion and enthusiasm. That's the royal knight beside the king! Once they enter the Royal Knights, they not only have the opportunity to become the leader of the Royal Knights, but after retiring from the Royal Knights, they can at least be ennobled as a viscount of a city.
But the reality is cruel. A year later, the remaining people only have two words left in their hearts: alive. They have just passed through the jungle full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and what lies in front of them is the endless sight. High mountains and cliffs, everyone has a trace of despair in their eyes.
Several people in white knight uniforms have been following them, as if they are never tired. Some people tried to escape, but they were all killed with a sword and no one escaped. Seeing the ashen faces of these people, one of the knights in white took back the tough rope in his hand and wrapped it around his waist. He looked up at the towering mountain peaks, and he pondered for a moment as if he had thought of something, and then spoke out. : "I know you are tired, but you must not stop now. Think about how many hardships you have gone through. As long as you climb over the mountain in front of you, you will reach the final destination.
"Once you cross this mountain, on the other side you will find a camp prepared especially for you. There are mountain hot springs to relieve tiredness, there are almost countless delicacies waiting for you to try them, and countless beauties waiting for you to enjoy them. After passing the mountain in front of you, you will be able to enjoy all of this immediately, and you will enjoy it every day in the future until you leave the camp in two years! "
The white knight's words undoubtedly have a fatal attraction.
Because the hardships of the journey made their bodies numb, these words seemed to have touched a certain mechanism in their bodies, and the remaining desire for life showed in their eyes. At this time, they longed for sufficient food and warm water to wash them. The body longs to heal the bleeding wounds and longs for a stable environment to rest.
The remaining fifty or so people began to climb up the mountain one after another, but the mountain was too steep. Although they had the ropes provided by the knight in white, the protruding stone wall would collapse at any time, but they had only climbed a tenth of the way. Already, two people screamed and fell down. There was no possibility of survival from such a height.
The upper half of Lucio's body was naked, and his back was scarred. He did not look at the towering mountain top, but kept his gaze within one meter above looking for the point to judge whether the iron hook could be firmly hooked. Drops of sweat fell from his eyes.
The skin on his body had been burned by the scorching sun. There were even wounds and blood on his chest, waist and abdomen from the constant grinding of the graveles, but he did not dare to stop. It was as if once he stopped, his arms would stop shaking due to muscle fatigue, and he would fall off the cliff. But now he no longer had the strength to lift his arms, nor did his legs have the strength to climb up.
I don't know how long it's been, but my ears are filled with countless desperate and unwilling screams, and I can even hear the frightening sound of bones cracking when someone falls on a rock.
He can't think about it in detail about it, for fear of not paying attention. As soon as his hand slipped, he became the next person to fall off the cliff. He searched for the fitting point of the stone wall again and again, and threw the iron hook in his hand again and again. He was as numb as a spider moving forward slowly. Don't know how long it took , the scorching sun disappears, and the mountain and rock walls become cooler.
Looking ahead again, He found himself almost at the top of the mountain before he knew it. At this moment, he finally felt something beating violently in his chest, and another force seemed to surge out of his body, making him move up desperately. But he discovered that the last section of the mountain wall between him and the peak was smooth and had nothing to to stand on. He is only one step away from success. Is it really impossible to reach the top?
Lucio's eyes were blood red, and it could be said that every part of his body had reached its limit. If he couldn't climb up in one breath, he would be doomed.
He swung it hard again and again unwillingly, and the fingers holding the cracks in the stone were dripping with blood.
Finally! The iron hook he threw seemed to have caught something. Hhe struggled to free one hand, pulling a worn, bloodstained bag from his belt. Holding it tightly in his hand, he thought of the ruin of his family, the cold eyes of his relatives, and the girl he had a crush on as a childhood sweetheart pointing at him and saying heart-wrenching words to him. Suddenly a trace of dark and deep light burst out from his clear eyes.
He couldn't die because he had not been able to restore the family's glory for his father's last wish! He can't die yet! If he died, that vain girl would definitely marry someone else.
Thinking of the Beautiful and innocent face, Lucio almost squeezed the sachet in his hand to bleed. He must live. His hands tightened the rope and twitched the corners of his stiff mouth. He would not let the girl he liked marry someone else. Even if she marries someone else, he will take her back! He must live and go back alive to see her face of panic and disappointment when she saw him...
Several knights in white watched with cold eyes as these people fell one by one, and some people climbed to the top covered in blood. At this moment, in their eyes, those who fell may not necessarily be failures, and those who climbed up may not necessarily be successful, because This top of the mountain is not the end of the trip.
Of course, the ultimate enjoyment that the white knight said to these people before is absolutely true. After entering the Royal Knights' training camp, each person can live in a single room. Countless delicacies from the mountains and seas are continuously delivered every day, and even different kinds of food are provided regularly and different types of beauties... Accompanying these must be inhuman hellish training, and the cruel death battlefield...
