Time gradually passed, and without realizing it, five years had passed.
Over the past five years, Chen Chi's reputation in the local area has been growing and gradually becoming known to many people.
Many people know that he is the most famous hunter in the area, a hunter with exquisite skills.
Of course, all of this is also thanks to the forging method.
The forging method in the real world, although only the foundation of martial arts, is also a genuine forging method.
For people who have never exercised before, this exercise method has a good exercise effect.
Chen Chi has been able to become an excellent hunter in these five years through this kind of physical training.
In five years, he has barely completed most of the forging process, and according to real-world standards, he can also be considered the number one figure.
At least in Chen Chi's class, it can definitely be considered first.
Of course, this is accumulated over time and is not particularly remarkable in itself.
After all, he is using his existing experience to practice, and with five years of time, it would be strange if he cannot reach this level.
However, even so, he still has a long way to go before achieving complete physical fitness.
Chen Chi feels that if he wants to cultivate in this way until his body is perfected, he probably still has three to four years left.
I really don't know how those weirdos who achieved perfection before reaching the age of eighteen appeared
After confirming his progress, Chen Chi was a bit speechless and didn't know what to say.
It can only be said that the gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between humans and dogs.
Calculating the time, this year can be considered as Chen Chi's fifth year staying here.
In this year, there was some movement in the originally peaceful small mountain village.
Are you the most famous hunter here
A tall young man stood in front of Chen Chi, looking at him as if scrutinizing him.
Hello, sir
Chen Chi's face remained calm as he looked at the young man's attire in front of him, with a timely hint of respect on his face. "May I ask what I can do for you
The young man in front of me was wearing a beautiful red robe and a delicate short sword.
In the local area, red is only used by nobles, and that exquisite short sword is obviously not something that ordinary families can have.
Obviously, this group of people are either rich or noble, mostly from noble backgrounds.
My people and I want to catch a white deer in the mountains
The young man was obviously satisfied with Chen Chi's understanding and respect, and then spoke up, "As a reward, I will give you a large sum of money
Listening to this, Chen Chi's eyes lit up.
I'm happy to serve you
He looked respectfully at the young man in front of him and spoke softly.
Soon, with the young man in front of him and two followers behind him, Chen Chi quickly entered the mountain.
Walking on the road, Chen Chi was pondering the possibility of dismissing the youth.
Prior to this, he had already been tricked, and the young man in front of him seemed to have little vigilance towards him. Soon, he was able to gather some information.
The young man's name is Sorondo, and he is the son of a local knight.
The reason why I came here this time is to celebrate my mother's birthday, so I need some special small gifts.
A knight's child is likely to have the existence of the knight's cultivation method, and even if not, they know some basic knowledge.
On the way, Chen Chi has already tested it.
Although Sorondo's father was a knight, his own strength did not seem strong. After only walking for a moment, he was already panting a bit. It seems unbelievable how strong his strength is.
If there is a fight, Chen Chi is confident that he can quickly deal with the other party.
Just
Chen Chi looked around at the two followers who had been following Sorondo, but ultimately gave up the idea.
Sorondo's strength is ordinary, but the two guards around him are obviously extraordinary.
He may not be able to handle it alone.
Moreover, judging from Sorondo's physique, it doesn't seem like he has undergone much knight training, and he probably won't know how skilled his knight breathing techniques are.
After some thought, Chen Chi gave up his plan to take action.
Walking on the road, he had a respectful expression on his face as he explained to Sorondo about some of the events that had happened in this forest, occasionally causing Sorondo to laugh heartily. From this, he looked very appreciative of Chen Chi.
As for the white deer, Chen Chi also quickly found it.
After staying in the area for five years, this forest was like his own home to him, where he knew exactly what was there.
In just a few days, Sorondo got what he wanted.
Before leaving, Sorondo left the bag filled with gold coins in front of Chen Chi as agreed.
Chen Chi shook his head and chose to refuse.
Why refuse
Sorondo was somewhat puzzled, "But do you think I'm giving too little
No, you have given too much
Chen Chi sighed deeply and said, "Mr. Sorondo, you are the most noble and honorable person I have ever met in my daily life. It is my honor to meet and make friends with someone like you, and I cannot expect any more reward
Sorondo was taken aback for a moment, no matter how thick his skin was, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
In normal times, he is just a mere son of a knight, although his status is relatively better than that of a commoner, he is not much higher. When has he ever been praised so much.
Especially, the person who praises him is not an ordinary person, but a skilled and very powerful hunter.
You... you're being too harsh
His face turned red as he was thinking about how to respond, but he heard Chen Chi speak again in front of him.
If you don't mind, I am willing to be your most loyal follower and the sharp blade in your hand
In front of him, Chen Chi knelt down on one knee with a sincere expression and said, "A noble person like you is my lifelong role model
Please allow me to pledge allegiance to you and clear the obstacles ahead for you
This
Sorondo was taken aback for a moment, then shocked and asked, "Are you going to follow me
The pursuit and loyalty in this world are not just words.
Once loyalty is chosen, one cannot betray for a lifetime, otherwise they will be rejected by everyone.
Of course, the so-called loyalty and following are actually rules within the aristocratic circle. For example, Chen Chi, a commoner, is not qualified to follow a nobleman under normal circumstances.
However, even so, this is not the past. In times of war, any warrior who can draw a sword is welcome.
Moreover, Sorondo was not a legitimate aristocrat.
He is just the son of a knight.
So Chen Chi's sudden loyalty is actually very tempting to him.
He looked at Chen Chi's sturdy and tall body, recalling his brave posture in dealing with fierce beasts before, and couldn't help but nod.
Thus, Chen Chi became a follower of Sorondo.
Following Sorondo, Chen Chi left his hometown and went to Sorondo's father's territory.
He has no worries about this.
His mother, who had this body, had already passed away due to an accident, and as for his father, he also died of the flu two years ago.
He is now alone and has few worries.
Sorondo's father welcomed Chen Chi's arrival.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of soldiers everywhere. Warriors like Chen Chi, who appear to be powerful, naturally have as many as possible.
Especially after Chen Chi demonstrated his skills that were no less impressive than those of his guards, he was even more surprised.
The territory of a knight is not obtained for free, and it also requires captive guards and followers to defend their territory, as well as to send troops when needed to respond to the call of their lord.
The cultivation of true warriors is not easy, and for brave warriors like Chen Chi, the more the better.
Thus, Chen Chi joined the territory of Sorondo's father.
Time slowly passed, and without realizing it, another five years had passed.
One night, Sorondo called Chen Chi to his house.
Solo, my brother
Compared to five years ago, Sorondo still looks young today, but appears much more mature.
In the past five years, Chen Chi has not given up on contacting Sorondo while serving his father, and the two have always maintained a good relationship.
Like today, when we secretly talk in the middle of the night, it's not just once or twice.
However, this time is different from usual.
In the spacious house, Sorondo sat alone with a face full of uncertainty, "Can I trust you
Of course, Your Excellency
Without hesitation, Chen Chi knelt down on one knee and spoke decisively, "As long as you give me an order, I can do anything for you
Looking at Chen Chi's unwavering attitude, Sorondo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke up, "I have something I need you to advise me on
My father is almost exhausted
He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he spoke like this.
What
Chen Chi was suddenly taken aback, with some inexplicable surprise.
Sorondo's father, the Sicilian knight, was a true knight.
According to the standards of this world, Sicilian knights have received good knightly education and possess knightly talents, making them knights who have awakened their life energy.
Recently, Chen Chi also saw Sicilian knights who returned from an expedition and appeared very powerful.
There is no sign of imminent death.
Seemingly sensing Chen Chi's confusion, Sorondo sighed and continued, "The use of life energy can lead to many problems within oneself, and even significantly shorten one's lifespan
My father, he
Speaking of which, he sighed again and didn't continue speaking.
Chen Chi suddenly understood the other party's meaning.
According to his years of investigation, this so-called knight uses something called life energy.
The use of life energy can make knights exceptionally powerful, but at the same time, it can also cause damage to knights and significantly shorten their lifespan.
Sorondo's father, a Sicilian knight, must be like this.
As far as I know, my father only has a maximum of two years left to live
Sorondo sighed and his face turned gloomy: 'And after that, Charlie will inherit the Sicilian territory and become the new lord of this generation...'
Chen Chi suddenly understood the other party's meaning.
