(Thanks to the legendary saobao children's shoes for the reward. Although it is not much, I do feel encouraged, thank you!)
"Mr. Knight, does he look a bit awkward?"
Watching Bill close the door to the box, Shen Yun suddenly felt an inexplicable irritability.
"He does have the arrogance." Yu Qianqian said lightly, and then smiled at Chen Yun: "However, no matter how capable he is, he is still an annoying guy. At least, that's what I think!"
Feeling that Yu Qianqian seemed to have something on his mind, Shen Yun picked up Jelly awkwardly and teased him: "Then what is his strength? And what about the advance experience?"
"It's not a good thing that Uncle Hughes has done! I really don't understand. He clearly knows that Xiao En has a bad relationship with that guy, so why does Uncle Hughes still promote him..." When it comes to this, Daifei couldn't help but interject, feeling a little angry. muttered.
Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw Defi fighting for Sean.
"Let me speak." Yu Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "Bill is the son of Mr. Billy, the commander of the Royal Guards. He has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child. And he himself is indeed very hardworking. His strength is very advanced among his peers. In a previous academy assessment, he defeated Sean. Although he is half a year older than Sean, he had already started to attack level 9 about a year ago, so he In terms of potential, he may not be worse than Sean."
"This time... I can win!" Sean tightened the thin sword hanging on his waist, his voice was calm, but his eyes showed incomparable confidence.
"We all believe in this." Encouraging Sean, Yu Qianqian continued: "Although the college stipulates that only ninth-grade students are eligible to go to the front line for training, there are always exceptions. If a student with particularly outstanding qualifications is dismissed by the military If the party recruits you, you can also receive training in advance if both parties agree. In fact, although the training on the front line is a bit dangerous, it is indeed easier to break through."
"And honor! Humph, that guy..." With a cold snort, Hades, who was even more taciturn than Sean, actually interrupted everyone's surprised gazes.
Glancing at Hades in surprise, Yu Qianqian immediately understood: "Indeed, as Hades said, this special recruitment is also a symbol of honor. At that time, Sean's father, Marquis Hughes, made an exception. When Bill was recruited to go to the front line for training, many people were surprised. After all, although Sean was slightly inferior to Bill at the time, he was not too far behind, and after all, he was the son of Marquis Hughes..."
"Hmph, Xiao En will definitely be better than that guy in the future. I really don't know what Uncle Hughes is thinking..."
"That's enough!" Sean shouted, interrupting Defi's endless complaints.
Shawn pulled out the sword with a clang, stared at the sword as clean as a mirror, and said in a low voice: "I know how to use my sword, and I will prove it to my father!"
Putting the rapier back into its scabbard, Sean quickly walked out of the room without saying hello to anyone.
"Xiao En, Xiao En, wait for me~" When she saw Sean leaving, Defi let out a sweet cry and followed him hastily.
"Call me Sean!" Sean's snort came from outside the door.
…
Watching Defi and Sean leave, Shen Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Ice Cube's idea is not difficult to understand. When he worked so hard and had the conditions, his father did not help him. Instead, he promoted a person who had always been with him. I am afraid that anyone else would find it difficult to accept the person I am at odds with..."
"Actually, it's more than that..." Yu Qianqian frowned, obviously very confused: "Actually, our close friends, such as Hades and Defi, all know that Marquis Hughes has a crush on Sean. He has never provided any support for Sean's practice, and even from his occasional conversations, it seems that his attitude towards Sean's martial arts practice...is against it!"
Having said this, Yu Qianqian couldn't help but shake her head. She felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous.
In this continent that is peaceful on the surface, but actually wars are constant, strength is the best way to power, wealth, and beauty. Even though Marquis Hughes has achieved a good status in the Blue Water Empire, if Sean wants to be respected in the future , or to achieve greater achievements, then the training of personal strength is essential. After all, Sean does not look like the kind of civil servant suitable for managing finances or education.
So as a father, how could Marquis Hughes block his son's future?
"So weird?" Shen Yun frowned, then relaxed: "Don't think about this for now, Bingcube's father must also have his considerations. In any case, parents will never do anything bad to their children... ..."
Thinking of his deceased parents, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a little sad.
When he was a child, he would still hope to grow up early so as to escape the "control" of his parents. But on the day when the bad news came, Shen Yun truly felt that it turned out that even a greeting could only be a luxury. So despairing...
Looking at Chen Yun's slightly red eyes, Yu Qianqian suddenly said: "Hey, Ayun, your equipment is not complete yet?"
"Equipment?" Yu Qianqian interrupted his train of thought, which made Chen Yun's sadness subside a little.
"Yes, whether it is a holy war or an academy selection, the use of props is allowed, including equipment, of course." Yu Qianqian smiled and explained: "I see that you only used one sword in sparring with Sean before. Is the equipment for other parts not available yet?”
"Well, it really sounds like..." So far, Shen Yun has drawn a total of 7 prizes, and there are four real equipment items, but 2 of them are accessories hanging around Shen Yun's neck, and the other 2 are It's a weapon. Speaking of which, there really isn't a single piece of armor or combat boots.
"Then why not buy them all today." Yu Qianqian smiled, but her uniquely weak voice made her feel pitiful as if she was afraid of Shen Yun's rejection: "There are only three days left for the trial. If we don't have a complete set of equipment, It will be a big loss then~”
"Okay, Hades, Olaf, are you going?" After appraising the remaining food in his purse, Shen Yun felt that buying a set of ordinary armor should not be a problem, so he asked the other two people in the box.
"We won't go, we are all ready. And we didn't have a good drink just now. When you left, Brother Hades and I just continued to drink!" Olaf responded.
But...you have the nerve to say it after having a good drink with Hades...
"Okay, okay, then Ayun, let's go." Ignoring Hades's gradually turning green face and his pleading eyes, Yu Qianqian pulled Shen Yun and ran out, and conveniently put the jelly on Shen Yun's head. superior.
Walking slowly on the streets of Lanshui City side by side with Yu Qianqian, Chen Yun suddenly realized that in the past few months, except for going to Pinfeng Tower with Xiao En and others to eat, Chen Yun had not left the college much.
"Since when have I become so eager to learn?" Looking at the people passing by on the street, the ordinary people bargaining, and the children who come out from time to time to make faces at their friends, Shen Yun feels that the distance between him and them is getting further and further away. .
Martial arts, magic, upgrades, props, this world is not ordinary. Haven't you ever been excited because of this "unordinary"? What are you hoping for now?
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he chuckled twice as if he was self-deprecating. Shen Yun said to Yu Qianqian, who was looking at him curiously: "Where should we buy equipment?"
"Go to Shengyu Trading Company, they have a relatively complete range of goods, and I heard that Shengyu Trading Company has recently received a batch of good things." Yu Qianqian thought for a moment and replied, then suddenly smiled, maybe she thought of something interesting. matter.
"Okay, that store is indeed good." Shen Yun had no objection to this. The last time he went there, he felt that Shengyu Trading Company was well run, and he didn't expect Princess Yu Qianqian to praise it so much.
"Speaking of which, I do have a question." Suddenly a question came to mind, Chen Yun scratched his head and said to Yu Qianqian: "Shengyu Trading Company and Shengyu Festival have the same name, isn't there any taboo?"
"That's okay, it doesn't matter. It seems that Shengyu Trading Company already existed before the mainland established the Shengyu Festival, and..." At this point, Yu Qianqian gestured for Shen Yun to come closer with a mysterious face, and whispered: "I heard They say that Shengyu Trading Company has some relationship with angels, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Although Chen Yun was a little embarrassed by Yu Qianqian's whispering in his ear, he couldn't help being surprised when he heard this and asked: "Angels? Are there really angels on the mainland?"
"Who knows." Yu Qianqian spread her hands: "Although historical records say that angels once helped humans seal dark creatures, no one has seen angels in the past ten thousand years. I once saw a piece of information that said Angels are subject to restrictions on the continent of Andalus, but the book does not specify what restrictions they are."
Seeing the gate of Shengyu Trading Company that looked like a wealthy mansion appearing in front of them, Yu Qianqian's voice contained a hint of sarcasm: "If the records in the history books are true, the combat power of angels should be several levels higher than that of dark creatures. If they can really survive on the mainland for a long time, the mainland residents will not have to endure these tens of thousands of years of torture."
Looking at the slightly raised corners of Yu Qianqian's mouth, Chen Yun discovered that this princess who was born into the royal family did not seem to have a good impression of the angel who was worshiped by all the residents of the mainland.
After getting closer, I discovered that there was a long queue in front of a table filled with bottles and cans at the entrance of Shengyu Trading Company. People at the front of the line kept taking a small bottle from the waiter of the trading bank, and then bowed deeply. He bowed and left.
Although the queue was long, everyone was in order and there was no chaos at all.
"This is Shengyu Trading Company giving out healing potions." Seeing Shen Yun's confusion, Yu Qianqian explained: "Shengyu Trading Company has a good reputation in Andalus, part of the reason is that they often give out this kind of medicine at the door of the trading company. Medicines that can treat some common diseases."
"That's not bad." Shen Yun nodded in approval, then frowned slightly and looked at the woman in white robe standing behind the table, looking at the alms with a gentle smile: "Well, this woman..."
"I didn't expect Mrs. Sally to show up in person today." Yu Qianqian followed Shen Yun's gaze and was surprised: "She is the owner of Shengyu Trading Company and the only island on Andalus, Sally." The owner of the island occasionally participates in the company's charity, which can be regarded as a kind of supervision."
Shen Yun has read about Sally Island in books. The Andalus continent also has oceans. Outside of the two currently known continents, there are endless oceans. But unlike the magical world that Shen Yun knows, Andalus There are no human-like intelligent creatures in the ocean of Russ. There are some fish and magical beasts, but there is no sign of human-like creatures evolving in tens of thousands of years.
In Shen Yun's view, this is not so much an ocean as a cage that imprisons Andalus.
In the Andalus Ocean, the only island currently known to mainland residents is Sally Island owned by Mrs. Sally. It is said that countless orphans adopted by Mrs. Sally over the years live on it. After careful training, they will be sent to Shengyu Commercial Bank branches in various countries for management work.
"It is said that Mrs. Sally has been blessed by an angel, so her appearance will always remain at its most beautiful, and her body will not age until her life span reaches its limit." Yu Qianqian looked at it with envy. Mrs. Sally, who was not far away, immediately changed her expression...
"Let's go, it's getting late. Let's go and buy the equipment. Then you can accompany me to pick out two pieces of clothing~" After greeting Shen Yun, Yu Qianqian put aside her envy of Mrs. Sally and walked in the door first.
"Oh, here we come." Shen Yun responded and raised his heels, but his mind was still thinking about the strange feeling he had when he saw the woman in white robe.
"What's going on with this feeling of being out of place..."
