Chapter 67 (1/2)
Conducting a scientific research required a lot of efforts. Once immersing himself in the research, the scientists would often not think about anything else, completely forget about the rest. Some would cook the pocket watch as a chicken egg. Some would write on the chariot like writing on the blackboard. Some would absolutely had no idea if others were stacking a pile of chairs beside, or there was a knife of a butcher with blood dripping in front, they were just trying to finish one last point of the research….
Sui Xiong obviously could not be compared to the senior sages. But once he put his mind into the research, he would also pay no attention to other things outside. Therefore while he was into his research, a funny scene had happened in the small protection cottage.
Today, Lei was indeed paralyzingly exhausted. That d.a.m.ned giant serpent was not only fat but also venomous! During the fight, he had been infected with some venoms. Although Stelle had used her magic to detox the venom, it was also not simple to make up for the loss of the energy simply by one magic. Not to mention after a hair-raising fight—-in fact, after the fight ended, he couldn’t believe in his eyes when he looked at that giant serpent corpse, which was like frightening old tree covering the sky.
Such a giant fellow like this is killed by me? !
This intense battle had worn his body out. He really needed a rest. Hence, when he was finally able to wrap himself in a soft bedding, he immediately fell into a deep sleep, started to enter the dreamland in vaguely few times of breaths.
Light and shadow twinkled. In vagueness, he felt like he had gone back in time, gone back to those easy and peaceful times.
“Highness! Leon Highness!” An old voice woke him up from the dream. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in front of the desk and dozing off. The book”Society a.n.a.lysis—-The Discussion about the power of a King, the obligation and right of n.o.blemen, and the obligation of commoners”, which was originally in his hand, had already fallen on the table. The head of the book almost hung down close to the table.
“Right… I am sorry!” A black-haired youngster’s face immediately blushed. He embarra.s.singly apologized, “I shouldn’t have been lazy in studying…”
“Ha ha, no need to be sorry. This old man can see that you have left your bed early in this morning to practice sword. Being tired from a hard practice is also very normal.” A gray-haired old man with a pair of gla.s.ses on his face shook his head as he smiled. His face was full of benevolent look, “Highness, you are still young. Your physique is also weak. You have to pay attention to the limitation in your diligence!”
Leo shyly smiled. There was a pa.s.sionate light flickering in his eyes, “Teacher, you and father always teach me that I have to build my career quickly. To do that, I have to work hard at a young age. My ideal is to become a chivalrous knight, whose sword rules the world. To do this, I can’t slack off. I have to try my best practicing every day!”
The old man smiled as he nodded. His fingers tapped lightly on the blackboard, “It is not certainly meddlesome when you have made such decision. Fighting over the throne is a bottomless pit, where countless lives and blood could not fill in. In comparison to that, being a sword-swinging solitary powerhouse is freer.”
“Moreover… in several more hundred years, everyone might not remember who the King is. But they will definitely remember the King with an outstanding powerhouse background. If you can step into the legendary realm, maybe the King right now has pa.s.sed away, but you are still alive here!”
“Teacher must be kidding. How can I become a legendary powerhouse…” The youngster bashfully smiled as his face reddened.
“This thought is not right! If you are determined to do something, you have to aim high, so that you accomplish big thing in the future!” The old man somewhat looked serious, conscientiously said, “Even if others don’t believe in you, you at least have to trust yourself! Confidence is an essentially required qualification of a powerhouse! Leon Highness, you have to become more confident!”
The youngster’s face also got serious, he seriously replied.
But the old man changed the subject from practicing to studying, “Alright, enough chatting. We start studying from today. Today, we will learn about Elf race’s music, the use of the secondary ba.s.s.”
The youngster’s firm and determined face immediately changed to a collapsing one, he helplessly lamented: “Teacher, can we not learn these boring things? Elf race’s music…. Where do I need it!”
“This is an essential self-cultivation for a royal family. Even if you don’t want to become a King, I still have to use the standard for the future king to teach you!” The face of the old man looked like granite. His eyes gave off the light which could scare any student, “Leon Highness, due to your habit of dozing off, which has wasted lots of time, today lesson will be a little bit more than usual.”
“Gosh!”
When the dry and dull lesson, which made people want to cry, was about to begin; the big door of the study room was gently knocked.
“Excuse me, is Master in?”
A mature and magnetic female voice came up. This kind of voice sounded like the one from an extremely s.e.xy girl which made everyone unable to refrain an urge of looking for it.
But, there was an invisible familiar feeling surging inside Leon’s heart as he heard this voice. That feeling was then replaced with a vaguely hating one.
He and the old man both didn’t open their mouths but the study room’s door was rudely pushed open. A flirtatious and s.e.xy woman with a tail and wings on her back, who wore an offensive skintight outfit, came in.
“Oh? The style of this room is not right!” The woman spoke , “At first, I thought it would be a pub or a casino, or some kind of wh.o.r.ehouse, or a G.o.d Shrine with a tentacle statue. That would have been more appropriate—-how can it end up being a study room?”
She wasn’t interested in the old man. Her eyes were fixed on Leon’s face. She gazed for a while then shook her head, “This fresh and pure, delicious little pimp, who are you? Are you interested in doing something fun with Big Sister?”
The old man’s face turned purple in rage, “Impudent! What kind of monster are you? Guard! Guard!”
But the woman didn’t take the old man’s scold and shout into to her heart. Instead, she used her frivolous eyes to seduce Leon, then carefully looked at all kinds of ornaments inside the study room.
“Shield, crown and eagle… Wow — I don’t think I have a chance to meet a Prince!”
The old man constantly called the guards. But no guard showed up, not even a single one. His face got extremely ugly. He pulled out the sword which looked more decorative than practical, blocking in front of Leon.
