Chapter 312 Bazel's father
ently
The sky is clear and the air is clear, and the slightly salty warm sea breeze blows on your body, which makes you feel very comfortable.
The recent journey has been very smooth, and we didn't even encounter bad weather.
The sailors and mercenaries on the entire [Mermaid] relaxed and enjoyed the rare good time.
There was a circle of people lying on the deck sunbathing, and a lazy atmosphere surrounded the ship. Seeing this, Lauren had no intention of stopping.
After all, these will be the backbone of the Milne Chamber of Commerce's expansion of shipping routes. I had a fierce battle with a pirate ship a few days ago, and I really need to take a rest and relax.
However, in this relaxed atmosphere, there is a little figure who is a little out of place.
At the very front of the deck, a petite and cute figure stood there, holding a long sword in his hand, struggling to maintain balance.
Looking carefully, her white forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her thin arms were still shaking slightly. It was obvious that she had been holding on for a long time.
This little figure who is maintaining the basic posture is Helen, who has become a disciple of Li Si and is preparing to embark on the extraordinary road.
“I'm sorry, Uncle Bazel.”
Satisfied Bazel will naturally work hard so that he can get better rewards from Li Si.
Bazel held the wine in his hand preciously and said to Helen.
First polish your body and train your will, and then talk about other things.
Let her rest for a while and move her back to the cabin later.
Helen's little voice suddenly sounded.
"Yes, I understand!"
At the beginning, the sailors and mercenaries on the Mermaid watched Helen's exercise with great interest, and laughed and made bets on how long Helen could last.
“Uncle Bazelle”
But in the past few days, Helen's performance made everyone put away their smiles of watching the show, and began to admire this cute little girl's persistence.
“I just want to see how far I can go.”
Obviously following the adult, he could eat this suffering.
“Uncle Bazel, are you very powerful?”
Looking at Helen's swaying body, which was almost unable to stand, Bazel frowned slightly.
Bazel sat aside, leaning against the side of the boat, holding a wine bottle in his arms, taking a sip of wine from time to time, but his attention was always on Helen.
“Have a rest.”
Sweat kept falling on Helen's forehead. She tried her best to steady the sword in her hand. As time passed, the shaking of the sword in her hand continued to increase.
In the evening, Li Si will help Helen treat her and recover from the physical trauma, so Bazel doesn't have to worry about it.
Helen asked softly.
But that kind of suffering was quite unbearable, and he persevered because of his father's "care".
Bazelle likes to drink very much, but the first moment he opened the cork, the aroma of wine that hit his face suddenly attracted his attention.
Helen nodded seriously and collapsed on the deck with a bang. It was obvious that she had no strength left.
Although Bazel felt that being called uncle was a bit too much, he couldn't say the words to ask Helen to call him brother, so he could only add helplessly:
“Who are you lying to?”
After all, Helen's body is still too weak now. The pain and torture she experienced before made Helen's physical development obviously slower than that of children of the same age. Although she has made up for it during this period, there are still shortcomings.
After Li Si accepted Helen that day, he did not directly start teaching Helen about warrior martial arts or other skills. Instead, he taught her a few postures and asked Helen to start with physical exercise.
Bazel stood up, took the sword from Helen's hand, and said helplessly:
"How many times have I told you that it is easy to get injured when exercising like this. You have already been exercising very hard, so there is no need for this."
This bottle of wine was given to him by Li Si so that he could watch Helen's exercise.
Of course, this was what Li Si had explained in advance, otherwise Bazel would really not have dared to do this.
Bazel didn't care. Since he wanted to become an extraordinary person, he naturally couldn't be so cowardly.
Helen, whose sword was snatched from her hand, seemed to wake up from a certain state of immersion. She sat down on the deck, raised her sweaty face, and said sheepishly:
“How can anyone challenge their own limits every day?”
Sure enough, we cannot underestimate the people around Mr. Li Si!
Everyone consciously gave up the space on the bow of the boat to Helen and did not disturb her exercise.
Hushly starting to learn warrior training and martial arts would be detrimental to her growth.
“Master Li Si must have told you that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. It will only be effective if you lay a good physical foundation and challenge the limits.”
Damn it, it's so profitable to follow a boss like this!
Li Si asked him to follow Helen, and he would naturally not go anywhere else.
Helen's current exercise is very simple, and Bazel can take good care of her, so Li Si naturally saves this effort.
"What's wrong?"
As a silver-level assassin, he naturally had this kind of time to polish his foundation.
I originally thought that taking care of Helen would be a similar process, but I didn't expect that Helen's consciousness and enthusiasm were so high. He didn't need his supervision at all. Instead, he had to be careful not to hurt her body by over-exercising.
"Why do you say that?"
Bazel, who was holding the wine bottle, was a little interested and asked.
“Because I heard that Lord Li Si only kept you on that pirate ship.”
"And in the competition over the past few days, I don't think anyone can beat you."
Helen's whole body was sore now, so she had to lie down on the deck obediently.
“Huh, maybe, because I'm special?”
Bazel smiled mockingly and took a swig of wine into his mouth.
“Uncle Bazel, how did you become so powerful?”
Helen asked curiously. Ever since she decided to become a paranormal professional, she really wanted to know more about professionals.
But Master Li Si rarely told her about those things and only asked her to keep exercising.
"Ha ha."
Bazel smiled bitterly, seeming to remember the unpleasant past before leaving home.
I don't know what happened, but he suddenly felt the desire to talk to Helen in front of him.
“My strength is all developed under the supervision of my father.”
“My dad is very strong, very strong!”
“But also very stubborn!”
Bazel's head leaned lightly against the side of the ship, his eyes looking at the blue sky and the seagulls flying past from time to time, his eyes blurred, and he said softly:
“I have always felt that my father is too strict with me. He doesn't let me do this or that.”
“The most important thing is that he hardly lets me out of his sight and can only stay at home all day long.”
“Exercise your body numbly, hone your skills, and improve your strength.”
“It's painful, really!”
Bazel turned around, looked at Helen, and said with a smile:
“So when I saw you starting to exercise, I was still thinking about when you would give up.”
"But you are better than me. If I was lazy at that time, that's for sure."
“What happened next, Uncle Bazel?”
Helen then asked, seeming to feel a hint of heaviness from Bazel's narrative.
“Dad is very strong. Even before I left home, I never defeated him once.”
"But it's strange. I don't know why. Dad's body is always injured. Sometimes he even vomits blood secretly while hiding from me. I don't even notice the slightest movement of him fighting with others."
"But I wasn't sensible at that time, and I didn't care about this. On the contrary." Bazel was silent for a moment, as if it was difficult to speak.
“On the contrary, I resented him a little.”
“I hate why he is so harsh on me and why he doesn't let me play with my friends.”
“I can only exercise, exercise, and exercise boringly on the sidelines. There seems to be nothing else in my life.”
“Then one day I couldn't stand it anymore. I heard from traveling merchants that becoming a mercenary was a very exciting thing.”
“The colorful adventure attracted me immediately.”
“So, one night after that, I secretly hid from my father and ran away.”
“Weren't you arrested by your father? Didn't you say that he was very strong?”
Helen asked in a curious tone.
“Very strong, very strong.”
Bazel sighed a little, and then said:
"I will never forget that night. I have escaped before, but he caught me all the time. But that night I managed to escape for more than a hundred meters without being knocked unconscious by my father."
“I was so excited that I was ready to run away from the village.”
"When I looked back, I found that the door of my house was open, with a warm light flashing inside, and my dad was standing at the door, looking at me quietly."
“I was frightened and thought I was going to be caught again, so I ran away quickly.”
“I don't know how long I've been running, but my dad never showed up.”
“Now that I think about it, maybe dad let me go that night.”
"Uh-huh."
Helen tried hard to raise her head and looked at Bazel.
“Later I found out that I had always been very unlucky, and the people I was with were very unlucky, and many of them even died.”
Bazel showed a smile on his face and added:
“Just like that pirate ship.”
“So, I'm wondering, is dad's injury caused by me?”
"Uh-huh."
Helen nodded repeatedly. To be honest, she still didn't understand what Bazel meant by bad luck.
Bazel didn't care either, and he didn't bother to explain it carefully to Helen.
He has been hiding these things in his heart, and now he just wants to find someone to talk to, whether she understands or not.
“Uncle Bazel, I think your father must be very proud, right?”
Helen's clear voice reached Bazel's ears.
"Um?"
“Because, your father must have thought that you were good enough, so he let you leave home.”
“Feel that you are able to face the risks outside on your own.”
Helen said seriously, but she thought of her mother in her heart.
“Haha, maybe.”
Bazel smiled.
Perhaps because Li Si promised to help him get rid of the bad luck that was entangled in him, Bazel's whole person seemed to be much brighter.
Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Bazel felt much better for some reason.
When you break through gold, go back and see your dad!
Bazel made up his mind.
The other side,
The disgraced Li Si was walking out of the cabin that had been transformed into a makeshift magic workshop, casually using the [Cleaning Technique] to remove the stains on his body.
Open the door to let fresh air enter the workshop and take away the smoke generated by the explosion.
“Failed again.”
Li Si was in a calm mood and didn't pay much attention.
Failure is the mother of success!
A mage cannot succeed without thousands of mothers.
I just tried to make other magic props and failed. The other materials were fine, but I lost a little mithril, which made Li Si feel a little heartbroken.
Li Si wanted to try to make some magic equipment and props that he could use, but the process was quite difficult.
Although he is a silver-level arcanist, ordinary magic props and equipment are of little help.
Given the richness of Li Si's hoard, perhaps only top-grade silver and other props would be meaningful.
That is not as easy as making [Siren Earrings], and it is still far away from Li Si's current level.
Li Si could only patiently explore bit by bit.
Even with the inheritance of the two legendary arcanists Stephens and Sphinx, Li Si's daily progress can be seen with the naked eye. Another person would probably be able to guess blindly.
Li Si stood outside the door for a while, adjusting his mentality.
Let's put this aside later and play with the spell model first!
It's like studying in the previous life. If you get confused when studying mathematics, change your thinking to chemistry.
“Lord Li Si!”
Just when Li Si was about to continue his happy research, a voice interrupted Li Si.
Li Si looked back and said with a smile:
“What's the matter, Aivar, is there something wrong?”
Evar, the official mercenary, walked towards Li Si, with a little excitement on his face.
“Lord Li Si, we are almost reaching the sea area of the island in my memory. I have a vague feeling.”
"oh?"
Li Si will naturally not forget the island that Aivar mentioned to him, or he is very interested in that place.
Stop studying at all, Li Si walked outside.
“Let's go, point me in the direction, let's go have a look together.”
"good."
Aivar also looked forward to it. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Stepping onto the deck and standing at the highest point, Aivar closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, then pointed in the southeast direction of the Mermaid.
“It should be this way, there is something attracting my body there.”
"good."
Li Si put his right hand on Eivar's shoulder, and the two of them disappeared instantly. The other sailors and mercenaries were already surprised.
Recently, Li Si often leaves the ship to experiment with spells on the sea not far away. They have seen this kind of scene a lot.
On the sea more than ten kilometers southeast, the figures of Li Si and Aivar appeared there, flying in mid-air.
"here?"
Aivar closed his eyes and sensed it, shook his head and said:
“Going further south.”
"good."
Li Si nodded, and in an instant he used [Teleportation] again to take Aivar away from the place.
After moving twice more, Aivar said loudly:
“This is it!”
Li Si lowered his head and looked down, and all he saw was the blue sea with slight waves.
