Chapter 13 - Chapter 12 Starting Again

Based on the words of a group of gossiping people, I finally sorted out a few key points.

First point: I have been unconscious for three days. If it weren't for a strange person holding a book on their body, coupled with a white wizard's slightly shimmering healing magic, and the doctor's care. I may never need the troublesome act of recuperating myself again.

Secondly, the teacher is willing to let me transfer to become a hero and has another piece of news to share with everyone.

Thirdly, Mei shamelessly ran to Sally and asked a bunch of useless questions. It seems like... I can't remember clearly, I don't listen much anyway.

"It seems like it can move now." Gui slowly raised her hand to her eyes, and a faint sunlight shone through her fingers. It was already dusk. From waking up to now, this is the second sunset.

Continuing to lie down really doesn't suit one's personality. Gui sat up, tidied up her clothes a bit, and then stepped out of the room. And Mei is chatting with Sally in the hall of the church.

"You can get out of bed and walk now." Sally saw Gui appear by the door.

Mei walked towards Gui and said, "Can you walk?"

"I didn't come out!" Gui retorted in the same tone as when she had argued with her peers when she was a child.

Mei stood still and watched as Gui walked towards Sally. She turned her head and whispered, "It looks good." Then he opened the side door where Gui appeared and left to inform the others. He knew that Gui must have a lot to ask Sally about.

"Jack, did he exert all his strength?" Gui, who seemed to be sitting in a chair next to Sally, asked.

"No!"

"Isn't it enough for him to exert all his strength?" Gui said disappointedly.

"That's right! If he really hits with all his might, you shouldn't see the gap exposed by the first strike of the Flying Swallow Sword."

"What! He even let go of that sword!" Gui stood up and glared at Sally, saying.

"But he also used his true strength. It was because it was useful that he made up for that kick and didn't let you stand."

Gui asked with confusion, "Isn't that kick meant to teach me not to be limited to weapons during battles? Is the body the most primitive tool of struggle? Isn't this the 'weapon' you wanted Mei to tell me?"

"Basically not wrong! But that's just the meaning that extends to teach you a lesson later on. But Jack's kick was just a simple attempt to make you fall, because you blocked his serious two swords, although you didn't do your best, and he kicked you for face's sake."

"Oh my goodness!" Gui blushed, feeling as if it was because she had hurt someone else's self-esteem that she was heavily kicked by them. The injury was really not worth it.

"At that time, the second sword, Jack wanted to tell you that you should not lose your vigilance against anyone and at any time. Especially after a battle, unless you can completely deprive the opponent of combat power or directly kill them, you must pay attention to them because they still have the ability to counterattack. That is' heart wrenching '."

Sally closed her eyes and recalled the scene, exclaiming, "After using a gentle expression to lift your guard, I will use the sword that is full of killing intent on you. In fact, as long as you can detect it and make defensive actions, even if you cannot block that sword, Jack will not cut it down. Because Jack's true attacking posture is like the first strike, the killing intent is too heavy and not suitable for him. It's just to make you feel scared and learn from the lesson, he releases so much killing intent. Jack and I didn't expect you to be able to block it."

"Is that right? Is there anything else?" Gui leaned back in her chair and looked at the familiar ceiling.

"It's great to be alive!"

Gui turned her head to look at Sally. Sally just smiled and said, "Only by living can you sit here and listen to me. Your teacher should have taught more similar lessons."

Gui leaned back in her chair and returned to her original position. "Jack, will he really kill me?"

"I believe it will! Even if you don't know someone, it's okay. But if you still haven't made it through his hands, why not leave it in the world?"

"Where's Jack?" Gui asked.

"I've been fishing in the creek outside the village these days, so I guess I'll be there today too."

When Guizheng stood up and wanted to go out, all his good friends, including his teacher Pauline, walked in.

Bolin said, "Gui, can you walk now? Great! Get ready and put on formal attire and armor to wait for me at the altar."

"Teacher... okay."

In front of the altar, Gui stood at the center of the small magic circle, surrounded by Gui's companions, Scorpio Mercenary Corps, and all the villagers, as witnesses to the birth of this brave warrior.

Bollinger stood on the main altar and said, "The ancient hero Darlong! Today, there is a student who abides by your teachings and is willing to make a covenant with you, recognized by the gods, to become your follower. I hope to gain stronger strength under your protection to help more people. Only your name is qualified to make such a brave person submit. The name of the follower who made the covenant is the brave 'Gui Sida'."

The magic circle emitted a faint white light, concentrated on Gui's body. Lan, dressed in a priest's robe, walked into the magic circle holding a pair of wristbands.

"Gui, put on that pair of wristbands! They are the proof of the brave I have inherited in the past. Today, I will hand them over to you. In the future, you will find someone suitable to inherit them. If you don't have one, leave it in the mountains and forests! It will call on those who are qualified to become brave to obtain it."

"Yes, teacher."

Gui, who became the new hero, received congratulations from everyone. Teacher Bolin has other news to share with everyone.

"Gui! You have become a hero, and I hope you and Mei can travel with Miss Xia Zina's Scorpion Mercenary Corps to help her regain her home."

Upon hearing Gui, she only exclaimed excitedly, "Why?"

"The current Garden City is not only living an unsafe life under the rule of the Black Chigu, but also a major concern for the invasion of the Angelic religion into Garden City. Duke Bremen has always had a good reputation, and in these days' conversation with Miss Xia Zina, I also believe that she can become an excellent monarch. 'Do what we think is right.' If you, who have just become a hero, cannot have a clear goal, I will give you a starting point, and your own future will start planning from this starting point. This is my personal hope and requirement."

Mei said at this moment, "Teacher, our goal now is to protect the village. Isn't that our goal? Why drive me and Gui away? Besides, you don't often teach us to live a simple life and protect what we consider valuable."

Polin shook his head and said, "That's what I told myself. I'm disabled and have experienced too many things, which is why I need a normal life. Young people are adventurous. Only through this step can you know the value of being ordinary in the future. Your lives are still long, go out and find your own way of life! Whether it's pursuing fame and fortune or returning to ordinary, it's just that different people make different choices. The people who can confirm their goals without making choices are not what we can learn. I also know that you are not that kind of material."

Lan said on the side, "Teacher, but there's no need..."

Bolin blocked Lan's words and said, "So, I'll ask you to do something else. Go out and find the same children as you used to, and bring them back to the village. I don't need so many of you to repay me, it's just a waste of resources. If you have extra strength, why not help those who used to need help like you! As for the direction, follow the Scorpio mercenary group forward. Miss Xia Zina's matter is only secondary. The rest of you are the same. In the future, when you are qualified to leave the village, if you don't have a goal, go help the children who used to need help like you!"

Gui exclaimed excitedly, "Teacher, what should you do? If it weren't for our burden, you wouldn't have been blind and limping. We've all left, so who would have taken care of you and the safety of the village?"

Bolin shook his head and said with a smile, "Because I left, I met KK and temporarily borrowed the shield of Genji. It was because I left that I met you and also the swordsman of Black Sheep. It was also because of Genji's help that I was able to defend against the attacks of the swordsman and lead you to escape. Life is a series of ups and downs to drive your next fate. The negative behavior of staying in the village is the right of the elderly and disabled, and young people want to venture into the outside world."

The old man on the side said, "Haha! That's right! And Guiya, what you just said is not right! This is the small town of Shida! As long as Pauline doesn't leave the village, we don't necessarily need you guys to help us. It seems like everyone else is useless."

"Village chief!" Gui said disappointedly.

The old man continued, "Get out! Get out! You two, get out of the village! If you haven't made any big moves, the village won't welcome you back."

"Yeah! Let's leave!" "Just leave the village to us." "Young people still need to go out." "Let's go! Don't worry," said the village chief, urging other villagers. Although it was to drive them away, both Gui and Mei knew in their hearts that it was for them.

After everyone disbanded, the Scorpio Mercenary Corps and Pauline and his children all returned to the church hall.

Iva asked curiously, "Xia Zina, you're not suitable for using a shield. So who should use Genji?" Iva had an eager expression.

Monk saw Iva's malicious attitude and smiled, "What are you doing! Are you planning to use two shields alone? Or are you going to discard your Lionheart shield?"

Iva, who was seen through her heart, awkwardly scratched her head.

Xia Zina also began to consider this issue, after all, collecting Genji as a treasure would not be as glamorous as using it. Anyway, the legendary weapons are not easily destroyed, and the news of Genji's appearance has been transmitted back to Garden City, which is very helpful for their strategy.

Xia Zina looked at Jack. He, known as the Sword Saint, used to hold weapons in both hands, but it should not be difficult for him to use a shield. But Xia Zina didn't really want this way in her heart

"Why do I think so?" Xia Zina is constantly worrying about her own mood.

At this moment, the outsider Shelley spoke up, "KK has returned his original shield to Pauline, so why not give him 'Genji' instead?"

Xia Zina nodded because she couldn't think of any other way. She also handed over "Genji" to KK and asked, "When will we leave here?"

Jack suggested setting off immediately. Song, Ying, Liu, Lan, and others heard that they were originally enjoying the remaining little time with Gui and Mei, but Jack wanted to shorten the time even further. They all made unfair voices and said, "At least we should wait for Gui's health to improve before leaving!" "Yes! This is too bad."

Sally said on the side, "We've been here for quite some time now. If it weren't for Pauline asking us to take two rookies out, we would have left long ago. Besides, although Gui's body hasn't fully recovered, with his past exercise, there won't be any problems traveling. With Jack and I around, he won't have any problems. And there are many things that are easier to understand when we're injured. It's a pity to give up such an opportunity with those third rate reasons."

Gui and Mei also agree with this statement, and it really delayed the journey of the Scorpio Mercenary Corps for too long. Simply bid farewell to your childhood companions. They each sorted out their simple luggage and equipment, and left the town of Stada, where they had lived for ten years.

On the way to the Garden City, twelve people are chatting. Even if you don't speak, it's still possible to walk by and listen to others. The only thing unclear is Charlotte, who is hidden in the darkness.

Munk asked, "Mei, we still don't know your career level. Let's hear it!"

Wearing a light red knight attire and carrying a long spear, Mei replied to Monk's question, "I am a trainee knight Lv5 who transferred in the village. The teacher told me that I am already qualified to become a formal knight in a larger town."

"What!" Monk seemed a bit disappointed with May's answer. "You're not a Dragon Knight!"

"How could it be! Although I haven't left the village before, I just helped the villagers buy some things in the nearby city. With this kind of cultivation, there's not much chance to increase experience points, and I can only practice my skill proficiency on a regular basis." Mei replied with a smile.

Dart spoke at this moment and said, "In that case, who did the bandit Wo Xia Te encounter that time?"

Mei was clearly puzzled and unclear about Dart's words. And J simply described the situation at that time.

"Xia Te." Xia Te quickly appeared behind Xia Zina, who was making a sound. "Are you sure that day you saw Mei?"

"Sure. Except for being dressed in black, her appearance and figure are exactly the same as Mei's."

"Perhaps you have encountered a 'tree'," Gui said loudly from the side.

"Tree?" Xia Zina asked in confusion.

Mei bit her lower lip and replied, "He's my twin brother, but that guy has already betrayed us and left the village."

No one continues to ask further questions. As long as you don't want to talk about it yourself, no one will be distracted and dig into your story. This is a habit of adventurers on the mainland. But it also caused everyone to fall into an uneasy silence.

Sherry saw that the situation was not right and quickly said, "Alright, Jack and Sally, could you tell me about your past adventures?"

"Don't!" The straightforward answer made everyone's newly aroused interest chill.

Sherry asked, "Why?"

Jack said, "Sherry, what did you eat for Chinese food today a year ago?"

"I'm not quite sure," said Sherry, shaking his head after a moment of thought

Jack followed suit and said, "Yes! You can't even answer such a vague question yourself. Then ask me, should I continue from birth, one year old, or two years old?"

Sherry shook his head faster and said, "No! No! That's too boring."

Jack said, "You know it's boring, why don't you come up with a more specific question? It's not that you don't answer."

"Oh! That's great!" The happy Sherry hugged her head and was worried about what kind of question to ask. "Hmm! Tell me about the eight days in Xincheng."

Sally asked, "Are you sure?"

Sherry nodded and said, "That's right! The only official appearance of the Seven Warriors was during those eight days. There are various rumors and descriptions outside, and the other news is not very credible. So I want to listen to myself and explain what the truth is."

Sally looked at Jack who had fallen silent and smiled. "Those eight days! It can be said that Jack was the protagonist, starting with him and ending with him. Jack, right?" Sally deliberately asked Jack, but he still didn't respond.

Sally continued without waiting for Jack's approval or opposition, "We had just wandered to the city of Nassin because Jess said he wanted to see what the Black Sheep Knights, who roamed across the entire continent, looked like. So one night, we entered a hotel in Nassin and waited for the opportunity..."

"Collision!" One of the knights wearing black armor knocked down a girl wearing a plain robe. A delicate and pitiful little girl can evoke compassion in one's life. In this situation, everyone feels more like they have been pulled and the pain is in their hearts. Although everyone wanted to go and help her, it was the members of the Black Sheep Knights who provoked her.

"Hey! You bumped into someone, you won't apologize!" The girl's companion should have turned around and cursed.

The owner in the tavern pulled the man who was cursing loudly and whispered, "Don't provoke them! They are members of the Black Sheep Knights."

The man continued to curse, "I don't care if he's a black pig or an white sheep. If he bumped into Adam, he wanted to apologize."

The other party seems to have heard... they must have heard the man making a big fuss on the side. The knight who knocked down the person stood up and walked over, saying, "Kid, what qualifications do you have for me to apologize to you?" The arrogant content, coupled with a pair of eyes growing above his head, made the knight feel disrespectful to the other person at all.

"She's my sister, and if you hit her, I don't have the right to demand an apology from you. Who has the right to demand an apology from you?" the man continued to curse.

The knight said, "But you just insulted our team name, and I also demand an apology from you."

The man replied, "Okay! But you were wrong first. Apologize to Adam first, and I'll compensate you again."

The knight seemed to find it amusing, turning his head and laughing at his companions.

"He wants me to apologize first! Oh my god! I'm so scared."

The knight turned around with a smile and looked at the man, his face pressed close to him, saying, "Hey kid! Do you know we're the Black Sheep Knights?" As he finished speaking, the knight's smile disappeared and he reached out to pull out his sword hanging from his waist.

"Sure. Except for being dressed in black, her appearance and figure are exactly the same as Mei's."

"Perhaps you have encountered a 'tree'," Gui said loudly from the side.

"Tree?" Xia Zina asked in confusion.

Mei bit her lower lip and replied, "He's my twin brother, but that guy has already betrayed us and left the village."

No one continues to ask further questions. As long as you don't want to talk about it yourself, no one will be distracted and dig into your story. This is a habit of adventurers on the mainland. But it also caused everyone to fall into an uneasy silence.

The knight turned around with a smile and looked at the man, his face pressed close to him, saying, "Hey kid! Do you know we're the Black Sheep Knights?" As he finished speaking, the knight's smile disappeared and he reached out to pull out his sword hanging from his waist.

At the same moment, the man had already drawn his sword and cut off the knight's legs knee high with just one strike. The knight who had lost both feet fell to the ground, his hands propped up on the ground, and when he was about to lift his head, the knife removed his arm. The man stepped on the head of the knight who had lost his limbs and said, "That's right! It's like throwing himself all over the ground, kowtowing to apologize." At the same time, he stomped heavily.

The people seen on the side were all stunned, and the knights' companions also stood up and drew their swords, ready to fight. And their mouths were filled with all kinds of filthy language, insulting the man and his sister.

The man glanced at the opponent's camp and only put down a sentence, "Leave it to me!" before rushing out. In an instant, the other party had no one left with the life to curse others Except for the one who fell to the ground at the beginning, it should still be alive. But there was no sound, so we didn't pay attention to him.

"Wow! Who was the first big head to rush out?" Sherry asked.

Sally pointed to the person who was looking down in silence and replied, "Isn't that Jack the fool?"
