Chapter 420: Miscellaneous things on the road and tests
Escape and pursuit are dramas that human society never tires of performing.
Angno had no intention of getting involved and chose to move quickly to avoid the situation.
But the fugitive obviously had no intention of letting him go. Not only did he adjust the direction of his mount, he also started shouting from a distance:
"Isaac! Isaac! I am Yamu from the Taraxin family. I was there when you and my brother Haier were talking about the epic Xuanbing at the Xuanbing Festival last year!"
Angelo was amused by this man. His ability to make up stories on the spot was amazing and his stories were very convincing.
Naturally, he would not respond, but instead called out to Fao on the back of the magic wolf and began to speed up.
Even though he is just walking, his speed is faster than a galloping horse.
To put it in terms of Eastern metaphysics, even if it is not as good as shrinking the earth into an inch, it is still at the level of flying over the grass and traveling thousands of miles.
The speed of the demon wolf is naturally amazing. It has a strong spirit and a light and strong body. Even if it is carrying a package weighing more than 100 pounds, it is still much faster than an ordinary mount.
With a quick run, he easily got rid of the pursuit.
This matter is over, just a minor episode.
Unexpectedly, after a series of twists and turns, we met again.
Humans have been thriving in the Great Plains for thousands of years, and the population is dense. The monsters have been repeatedly eliminated and exterminated more thoroughly. Even if there are still some in the periphery, they have already had psychological trauma and know that the two-legged beasts here are not easy to mess with.
Therefore, even if the humans in this area encountered a major disaster and became weak, in a short period of time it would not be like the case in Forge Hammer Town, where even monsters came to take advantage of the situation due to the broken window effect.
This means that traveling at night is just traveling at night, and there is basically no possibility of night teaching incidents occurring.
In this context, Angelo gave up on seeking hardship and found a hillock not far from the main road where he could camp out of the wind.
Angelo circulates his own spiritual energy and rarely consumes food or water.
The demon wolf and Fao had a big feast at noon, which was not bad at all.
So a campfire was built, a simple reflector was set up, and some people meditated or slept.
As a result, late at night, when the campfire was only left with a few flames, the sound of carriages and horses broke the silence.
This time Angno did not move.
He also has a bit of a temper. His strong strength gives him confidence. He is not a stray dog that will hide away with its tail between its legs at the slightest sign of trouble.
When the convoy got closer, they could see clearly that they were the people who were chasing and fleeing during the day. However, all of them, including the man who had the quick wit to make up the story, were put into the prison van.
Angelo was speechless. This was really a coincidence.
The man who is good at making up stories is not an ordinary person, at least ordinary people don’t have as good eyesight as him.
"Brother Isaac, that's so thoughtful!" the man said in a hoarse voice.
Angelo ignored him and continued to sit calmly. Of course, the practice stopped.
The leader of the escort team frowned, and someone came over and whispered something.
The leader thought for a moment and ordered, "Go ask."
Then someone urged his mount forward and asked condescendingly: "Who are you?"
At this time, Fao had already woken up, but he didn't move, pretending to be asleep, but his eyes were rolling around. It was obvious that he was in the same state as when he was facing a life-and-death decision in Hammer Town.
Stress reaction? Too much psychological shadow?
Maybe a little bit of both. In short, the cruel reality and success have distorted his mind, at least to a certain extent. This is not a mentally healthy boy, not at the beginning, and even less so now.
To go deeper, from the perspective of being a human being, this is a teenager whose values need to be shaped and adjusted. However, Angelo obviously does not attach enough importance to this concept.
Teach by precept and example.
Many times, what you do is far more instructive than what you say.
For example, Faol's extreme and greedy idea that power is supreme and he can do whatever he wants with power obviously does not come from textbooks, but from observation.
He saw the recklessness of the celestial warriors, the lawlessness of the thugs, and also saw how the monsters turned humans into blood food that could be hunted at any time.
So he worships power. If the power is great enough, then everything he does is right.
Later, he and the demon wolf hunted monsters, which also confirmed his point of view. Originally, he had a hard time surviving in front of the monsters, and was almost dead, but now that he had power, he could drink their blood and chew their flesh.
Then a new question arises: what should we do if this power is not so handy and cannot be used at will?
The demon wolf Ah Qing is a beast after all and is relatively easy to coax.
What about Angono? How to borrow Angono's power?
Master, you are not a master yet.
In Fao's opinion, his father is not a good person. He is an alcoholic, a domestic abuser, a spendthrift, and he abandons his wife and children.
But Fao is proud of his identity as a member of the Xuanbing lineage, as well as his biggest trump card.
So his mood is actually very contradictory.
He resents his father, but at the same time relies on the gifts from his father's family, regarding them as his greatest support for future success.
Likewise, he didn't like Angno very much.
Angelo is serious and gloomy, and very intimidating. Usually, Fao needs to be careful not to anger him.
To put it bluntly, his chance was something he had asked for. Deep down, he thought he had played a greater role in this matter, thus downplaying Angeno's gratitude.
In addition, he felt that his daily life was not easy. He had to coax the demon wolf and accompany Xiao Xin under the name of Angelo. These were all sacrifices and were not what he wanted.
Therefore, he felt that he was enduring all these in order to achieve his goal.
He took his own efforts too seriously, which was one of the main reasons why he did not feel much gratitude towards Angelo.
Gratitude is not enough, but kindness makes up for it.
In the past few days, he has been using his young age to test Angelo's bottom line.
Angelo had no real experience in teaching before, at least he had never taught a wild boy like Fao who had amazing survival wisdom at a young age.
However, Angelo was not a fool. He noticed Fao's little trick, but due to his lack of life experience and immature methods, he was easily discovered.
Like now, just by breathing, Angelo knew that Fao had woken up, but he was still a smart kid and started to judge the situation.
After thinking about it, he did not point it out. Instead, he looked past the questioner and said to the escort team leader behind him: "Since we need to escort overnight, isn't it better to focus on completing the mission?"
The person who was asking the question was immediately ashamed and annoyed when he saw that Angelo ignored him. He did not wait for the chief officer to answer and started to answer and scold him: "What is this place? Who are we? I am afraid you can't answer any of them. You don't enter the town and sleep on the roadside. Do you think you are right?"
Angelo still looked at the chief officer with a deep gaze and ignored the person who asked the question.
The chief officer still said nothing, his hand resting on the black weapon at his waist.
The person asking the question blushed because he was repeatedly ignored and was about to lose his temper on the spot.
As a result, Angeno lost his patience first and turned to the demon wolf and said, "Don't leave any of them alive!"
The demon wolf that was originally lying on the ground suddenly had its hair standing on end. The extraordinary aura that was only at the first level of a demon but purer than that of a demon frightened many of the mounts present.
Many of these mounts have experienced battlefields and even demon hunting battles, so they are not easily startled.
It can only be said that the magic wolf's ability to restrain its aura and then suddenly burst out has resulted in a powerful effect, and the intensity of the magic wolf's ferocious beast aura is far beyond ordinary, and its type is also quite special.
War horses and the like are also subject to the saying that "the unknown is the greatest terror", hence the dramatic scene of all of them being frightened.
The chief officer's face changed, and the black weapon at his waist immediately came out of its sheath.
As a result, Angelo arrived first and used his spiritual weapon - the Law-Breaking Claw. No one present could see how he made the move, but its powerful effect had already affected the chief officer's black weapon.
The strange-shaped long sword that had just been unsheathed was directly broken by the magic light flowing around it, and fell to the ground with a "clang".
At the same time, the man who was asking the question with an embarrassed look on his face, had not yet steady his body which was shaking due to the fright of his mount, when the lightning claws of the magic wolf directly swept away his neck and half of his left shoulder.
"Wait a minute, I have something to say..." The chief officer finally realized that he had offended a great master. But great masters often have bad tempers, especially those of the dark type.
If you don't want the dignity of being a human being given to you, then don't blame me for treating you like an ant.
The "Story King" in the prison car was also shocked. He had previously thought that Angelo was just a wild mystic, especially the appearance of the magic wolf, which was quite impressive.
During the day, he did try to take advantage of any conscience he might have and try to drag him into the water.
Even if Angelo hesitated for a moment, or ran slower, there was a high possibility that he would be caught by the angry pursuers, so it would always have some delaying effect.
As a result, Angelo ran decisively and quickly.
This was originally just an episode, but he didn't expect to meet him again by chance. He was also filled with resentment and was deliberately trying to disgust others.
did not expect……
The order that Angno gave to the Demon Wolf was to not spare any of them.
With the most capable chief Xuanbing being defeated and the second most capable ones becoming prisoners in the car, the remaining small Xuanbing operators are no match for the Demon Wolf at all.
On the one hand, the demon wolf is an assassin type, and on the other hand, these people were troubled by the frightened horses and could not form an effective formation.
The Demon Wolf seemed to act casually, but in fact it hit the critical point every time, and the escort team was unable to organize any decent resistance.
The chief officer had some ideas and also had some spare Xuan soldiers.
Unfortunately, he was directly controlled by Angelo until he was beheaded by the wolf claws. He felt extremely frustrated.
This also reveals a major shortcoming of Xuanshi, who relies too much on Xuanbing and whose own strength is relatively weak.
The presence of Xuanbing can give them a blessing effect, and working with Xuanbing can be said to be mutually reinforcing and stronger.
Of course, it is also about specific schools, but the mainstream is that the strengths are longer, the Xuanbing is stronger, and the BUFF added to the holder can also make the Xuanbing stronger, so the Xuanbing is stronger. Therefore, in terms of power and sharpness, it is not worse than the Lingwu of the same level.
But in terms of flexibility and adaptability, Xuanshi is far inferior to Lingwu, and often pays more attention to the coordination between different Xuanshi. That is, the battle formation.
This time, the team's strengths were overcome and it didn't even have a chance to display its power.
The demon wolf is loyal and obedient, and will not let go of anyone in the cage.
Faced with such brutality and cruelty, the 'story king' could only give a wry smile and wait to be killed.
There were broken limbs and bodies, and the ground was covered with blood. The demon wolf shook its mane, and the blood that splashed on its body during the killing fell off like rain, even on its hooves and claws.
It has to be said that the potential of this demon wolf far exceeded Angelo's initial expectations.
However, due to the limitations of their thinking patterns, the achievements of Warcraft in the spiritual martial arts field, at least with the technology currently mastered by Luo Bo's school, are limited.
Unless there is a monster that can think like a human, put itself in other people's shoes, practice cultivation, and delve into legal principles, it can only be like this. You have to rely on others to help you promote the Tao and perform the Dharma. Even if others dare to promote it, do you dare to use it?
Angelo looked at Fao who had gotten up and asked, "How is it? Do you have more confidence in the Spiritual Martial Arts?"
Fao rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
At least he knew that his performance tonight was a bit embarrassing.
Angelo said: "You have gained some confidence and strength, and you are always good at judging the situation. So, I will give you a test. Go to Fort Carne alone from here within a week."
As he spoke, Angeno roughly pointed in the direction of Fort Carne, ensuring that Fao would not interact with others, and as long as he could endure the hardships, it would be possible for him to reach Fort Carne.
"You have to understand that needs are mutual, and the same is true for cultivation. At this stage, you have to prove that you are worthy of my investment. All the way here, your performance is still a little bit lacking, so this test is given.
You can give up. Just like I said in Forge Hammer Town, fate will eventually bring you some benefits, and your efforts will not be in vain."
After saying this, without waiting for Fao to respond, Angelo quickly disappeared into nothingness.
The demon wolf also stuck out its tongue at Fao, "Haha", then turned into a green shadow and flew away.
Fao had a mixed feeling on his face, but he was still a teenager, so his attention quickly fell on the crime scene.
The evil wolf didn't even let the horse go. The scene was littered with corpses, and not a single body was intact. It still looked very shocking.
Fao was both scared and excited.
First, he cautiously pounced on the mysterious weapon that was broken by Angelo, took it in his hand and rubbed it lovingly, then tore off the scabbard from the corpse of the chief officer and put it into the scabbard. Then, he set his eyes on more magic weapons, property, and even armor...
Angelo watched silently for a moment in the dark before he really left.
Instead of returning to Fort Carne, he rushed to Forgehammer Town again.
It has to be said that Angelo's mentality at this time was rather subtle.
As the saying goes, you can tell a child's future at the age of three and his character at the age of seven. Angelo felt that he had almost figured out what kind of person Fao was.
In a nutshell, he doesn't like it.
Even though Robo is walking on a dark path and has many cruel and evil people under his command, they are actually only two types of people.
One type is the kind that has some key shining points, is not evil by nature, but is made evil by fate.
Angno falls into this category.
Even though he doesn't get along with anyone, he has no bad intentions towards his colleagues, and he is grateful to Luo Bo and even the King of Dong who takes care of him.
Even though he knew that the King of the East was a man of many faces and that getting along with him was a lot of acting, he would still appreciate it since the other party had done it.
Evil, even crazy, but principled, and important principles that are worth mentioning are gratitude.
The second category is people like the King of the East who have great wisdom.
What his nature is is not important. What is important is that he does his job very well.
Whether as a subject or a superior, there is nothing to criticize in both public and private matters. This is also a kind of ability.
As for the specific mentality and thoughts, I can only say that, for the boss, everyone is a double-edged sword, some are dull and some are sharp. If you can play it well, that depends on the boss's ability and magnanimity.
Facts have proved that Luo Bo is doing very well now and does not need anyone to worry about him.
Angelo believes that Faou has nothing to do with either of these two, so even if he joins, he will only be a discarded pawn in the future.
Some people may say that just because Fao is not good now, it does not mean he will not be good in the future. Why do we need a teacher? We need to teach him!
However, Angelo believed that it was his nature. If he went in the opposite direction from the beginning, it would be basically impossible to adjust.
The circle is too big. Even if there is enough time and events for it to complete each turn, its own capacity will hardly accommodate the information packages required for the entire process.
Angelo's idea is also a reflection of his own thinking.
He felt that his own cognition was a process of being constantly filled up, and in the end even refusing to add new things.
Although this new thing represents a new era and even the direction of the future, he is willing to live in the past.
Of course he knew that this was wrong. He himself and the people he cared about needed him to have the ability to improve and adapt, and required him to at least be able to cope with the current situation.
Therefore, he needs to constantly improve his abilities.
This kind of breakthrough and change in thinking is more difficult than improving combat effectiveness.
Knowing this, Angelo believes that if a person's personality is too different from what an organization needs him to have, then it will take a long time for one party to completely change it, and the other party will not be able to stay for anyone for a long time, so the result will naturally not be good.
This is nothing, after all, there are many people who cannot keep up with Luo Bo and are abandoned. Luo Bo may not be a good choice in life, and you may be happier if you get rid of him.
But Angelo's curiosity suddenly burst out. He wanted to see how much better the Child of Destiny was than an ordinary person like Fao, and whether he was as good as he thought, mainly in terms of ideas.
Moreover, he really wanted to pass a test to make Fao truly understand that the law is not easily passed on, and some prices must be paid, rather than never taking sides, always having a flexible bottom line, and changing with the wind.
Angelo didn't want to tell this truth directly, but hoped that Fao could understand it himself. Use your brain, don't just be clever and treat others as fools...
