The armor summoner will not be involved in the event

Fortunately, he survived thanks to the rescue of the forest ranger.

The only people who can be rangers on this planet are those who have given up being hunters but have not yet gotten used to a peaceful life.

Although the ranger who rescued Wood Eagle successfully killed the fire monster, the hunter, whose skills had deteriorated due to his change of mentality, was unable to protect the garden well.

Of course, the forest ranger cannot be blamed for this incident, so who is at fault?

It is a powerless wooden eagle.

The gardener is supposed to have the power to deal with the pests, but he doesn't.

So, after learning more about the existence of hunters, he made up his mind.

"I want to become a hunter capable of protecting this garden and prevent anyone from harming this place."

The hunter who taught the wooden eagle had never seen such a desire.

Most of the so-called hunters were a group of reckless people who acted in the universe in order to seize certain things. He had never seen a guy who chose to become a hunter just to protect a certain place.

After all, can such a person really be considered a hunter?

However, he did not care much about the definition of hunter. As he was approaching retirement, the strong people in the universe were basically uniformly referred to as hunters.

So if Woodhawk just wants strength, it doesn't matter what he becomes, and it doesn't matter whether he is a traditional hunter or not.

Anyway, for a guy like him who has no teaching ability, he only has one wooden eagle left to teach, so he might as well try out the path he once wanted to take on him.

"This is the power of Wood. I have developed some secret techniques to use it. It may have great potential or it may just be an ordinary secret technique. If you want to become stronger, putting aside your physical disadvantages, this is the only move I can teach you that requires the least attention to your body. How about it, do you want to learn it?"

Wood Eagle did not refuse.

He rarely gets the chance to choose, and in most cases it's a yes or no.

If he chose the latter, he didn't know if he could achieve his wish in his lifetime. So even though the hunter later threatened him that the practice of this secret method was painful and that developing new moves would be life-threatening, Mu Ying resolutely continued to learn it.

The basic technique of Wood Power is called [Wood Stretching and Bending], which is like the basic internal power of martial arts and has almost no practical significance, but all subsequent extensions are almost all based on this basic technique.

The hunter, as majestic as a hill, watched this foolish disciple rely on his plant friends to comprehend the power of wood while clumsily learning how to stretch and bend wood.

Time passes and seasons change.

Gradually, he got used to watching the dumbest disciple he had ever seen in his life practicing the most basic skills for an hour every day, got used to seeing him bleeding from trying to perfect the skills he had thought up on the spur of the moment, and got used to watching the other party's mental energy begin to soar at an abnormal speed.

So he finally made a decision.

"Mu Ying, from now on I will teach you all the remaining skills I have and lay a foundation for your own unique combat skills. This will last for a maximum of three years. After three years, I hope you can go out into the universe, travel the entire Storm Galaxy and even further, and make a name for yourself."

"In this way, can I become a hunter with the power to protect the garden?"

In fact, you already have the ability to protect it.

The hunter didn't say this to him.

Because there is selfish motive in his request.

Once upon a time, a hunter competed with others for the title of the strongest, but was defeated and never recovered from that.

The opponent was a true genius who far surpassed him, and relied on his monstrous on-the-spot combat learning ability to absorb and crack all of his moves.

Perhaps intending to adjust his mindset before taking on the challenge again, the hunter asked the man about his next itinerary.

That person said that he would go to the Storm Galaxy and stay there for thirty cosmic years to dominate that galaxy.

From that day until now, only six cosmic years remain.

Three years to resolve the shortcomings in close combat, and three years to search for the hunter's former powerful enemy.

Can the disciple win the battle that his incompetent master failed to win?

The hunter wasn't sure if he was expecting this.

【353】Comfort

"That's enough for now."

Alcaide said.

"I was just about to reach the climax, the atmosphere was just right, and you told me to stop?"

The strong aura pressed down on Arcaid, and even the conscious body could feel the even and heavy pressure like piled trees.

But he had faced such situations many times. Dad would be oppressed by his father with a similar heavy aura about every week. Having witnessed it so frequently, he had long been accustomed to this kind of oppressive aura.

So he answered the other person calmly.

"I have something important to do right now. There seems to be some movement in the Star Vein Fountain. I need to go and take a look."

"A specialty of this world? When I was in the universe..."

There was no unnecessary conversation, nor was there any talk of not wanting to continue the chat. Alcaide literally logged off at the speed of light and headed straight for the Star Vein Fountain Fissure which was hundreds of meters away from their resting place.

The beautiful princess stood in front of the rift where star energy surged, and her slender back gave him a sense of fragility.

The blue-gold light dissipated in the air, like a ribbon stretching freely in a gravity-free environment.

Needless to say, Alcaide already knew that this Star Vein Fountain was meaningless to Illitia.

How should I put it? In such a situation, a normal person would comfort the other person, but apart from the five years he had lived as a lone wolf, Alkaide's only experience was mostly as a bystander of a three-year-old being taken care of.

Excluding some scenes that were not applicable here, he could only think of one scene -

"Wow wow wow - Lu Cun, your good brother, I failed!"

"…What did you mess with me again?"

"I originally wanted to give Pojun five senses that are dozens of times stronger than humans, but I accidentally ruined his sense of taste and smell."

After a severe beating.

"Listen to me - I just made him have a limited perception of the deliciousness of food. In other words, he can tell whether it tastes good or not, but beyond a certain level, no matter whether it is extremely disgusting or the most delicious food on earth that can make people ascend to heaven on the spot, he will only think it tastes average..."

"…If you give up from the beginning, you won't be disappointed by failure."

"Wooooow! Such a heavy pressure - Lu Cun, I love you!"

"You better not be sarcastic... No, you better be sarcastic."

……

Ok……

The innocent little...adult's head turned, and Arcaid accurately extracted the least comforting part of it, and said to comfort Illitia: "It's okay, failure is normal. Anyway, you haven't had much luck in your life with the Star Spirits. Just pretend that you have never been here."

"……go out."

"No."

"I told you to get out!"

"I will not obey some unreasonable requests."

"Since you are my subordinate, then give me some quiet space to be alone, so hurry up and stay with Mi Jiexi!"

"You act like you'll commit suicide and feel sorry for yourself if I leave, so I can't leave. Don't cry right after I leave, and then try to cover it up with makeup to save face."

With no intention of saving face for his boss, Alcade used simple but heart-piercing words to break Illitia's defense.

"Then what do you want me to do? This is the only chance I've had in all these years. The result is that I may never get a second chance in my lifetime. Telling me that changing my destiny is simply a dream!"

What a unlucky woman! She is actually my boss. My future will be unlucky.

Why is this reaction different from that of [Big Dad]? Shouldn't you cheer up and fight back against me with words?

Alcaide was just confused, not understanding what the consequences would be if the offensive rhetoric hit the opponent's pain points.

I should have found the opponent's sore spot and attacked it. Could it be that although Ilitia looks strong, she is actually not the type who becomes more courageous after setbacks, but is actually very fragile?

Subconsciously, I want to use examples to prove to the other party that if they want to accomplish great things, they must have extraordinary abilities and character.

However, from Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty who started from scratch in the feudal era to the teachers in modern times who blazed a new trail under the pressure of imperialism, the consultations with these people who had a worse start than Ilitia but achieved miraculous victory were as if cut off and could not be recalled.

It was like searching for information online and finding out that there was an introduction but you had to pay later but you had no money. Alcade followed his heart and chose another way to solve the other person's psychological problem.

The slender and powerful palm wrapped around the girl's slender palm. The hot touch made Ilitia subconsciously raise her head and look at him.

His jewel-red eyes were filled with seriousness, and he spoke words that went beyond the level of loyalty.

"Yes, you are not only useless, but also very fragile. With someone like you like this, only someone like me is willing to be your subordinate. So for my sake, you should try your best once more."

"It doesn't matter how ugly the struggle is, I will always choose to accept you and embrace you."

"Whether your outcome is success or failure."

A certain demonic charm, as if bewitching Ilitia, flowed from his eyes.

An unprecedented sense of security surged in her chest, making her subconsciously hug Alcaide tightly.

……

Many years ago, when Yang Lucun was planning to take his younger brother out to rent a house and go to school, his mother was worried.

"It's okay. I've figured out how to handle the housework. I won't make a mess."

He comforted his mother in this way.

"It's not your ability that I'm worried about," Yang's mother sighed, "You should be the one who looks most like your father when he was young among the three brothers. This is what I'm worried about you."

"He doesn't look like a man who would know his limits when he was young."

"…That's it. You can sense the truth intuitively even though you don't know it clearly, and you will definitely express it in an aggressive way. What are you going to do when you get married if you talk like this?"

"Don't worry about that. I have no plans to find a wife. My eldest brother seems to be more interested in things like carrying on the family line."

"The only problem is that child..."

Yang's mother sighed.

"I'm always afraid that he will teach his children how to manipulate girls' minds and then treat most people as less than human beings."

"His values ​​and education are normal after all. He would not teach his own blood relatives about his bad interests. At least I believe he would not teach his own children such things."

"I hope so."

What the two people said back then became reality at this moment.

【354】Disappointment

"Thank you for your hard work, Ilitia. The achievements of this expedition are excellent, and I think they can provide great help to the future of the Imperial Hall."

The blond mature woman wearing a gorgeous royal robe said this while sitting on the throne.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I wonder how my retainers think of me..."

Ilitia, who remained calm in the face of a diplomatic opponent who was much more powerful than the queen, seemed a little tongue-tied in front of her mother.

"I have tried my best to fight for you, but I think you also understand what it means that your triumphal return is not joined by anyone except the honor guard specially sent to welcome the princess returning from the expedition."

"……Yes."

Of course, Ilitia knew what this meant—no one in the imperial court, not even in the Lu family, was optimistic about her.

They don't even have much idea of ​​looking forward to her coming back, right?

Honestly speaking, she should be angry and hateful, but after being interpreted as comforting PUA by Arcade and she reacted in time, she just felt a little depressed.

Queen Mirabel was her mother after all, and she could clearly feel the emotional changes of her eldest daughter.

Although because they were in the audience hall, their identities were queen and princess rather than mother and daughter, and even though there was only one of the queen's personal attendants besides the two of them, Queen Mirabel still chose not to say anything to comfort them.

The so-called royal family should be able to face all difficulties alone. Illitia will encounter more scenes like this in the future.

She knew very well that with two Protoss daughters who were far superior to Illitia, the retainers would not choose to support this child.

This is the law that the Protoss Utopia absolutely cannot violate, that is, the Protoss is the ideal evolution of mankind.

From the persecution of their fellow Protoss by the Empire a hundred years ago to the establishment of the Imperial Hall by the first Queen Nebylis, the powerful Protoss have been the most honorable thing in this country.

Even her mother, after seeing Ilitia's brilliant achievements in her first expedition (visiting two small countries and three neutral cities and conducting friendly exchanges, saving compatriots who were almost killed - referring to Mi Jie Xibi), could only think, "If Alice becomes the queen, and with Ilitia as her assistant, the future of the Royal Hall should be bright."

"Then, my daughter will take her leave."

Looking at Ilitia's somewhat lonely back, Queen Mirabel's eyes flashed with a trace of pity, but in the end she still did not call her.

The beautiful princess strolled along the deserted corridor, a thoughtful gleam in her eyes.
