I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Viego knew.

The future military strategic officer talent in our family is secured.

But...I still have to ask first.

"Can I ask why you suddenly thought of taking me as your master, Huijie?" Since this girl took the initiative to get closer to him and asked him to call her by her first name instead of her surname, Viego would not be polite.

The fragments running in both directions are so fragrant!

As long as the girl's reasons are acceptable, Viego wouldn't mind taking her as his apprentice...

However, his swordsmanship is nothing special after all. At most, it originated from Kamavia, so it may look a little different from the mainstream swordsmanship styles in this world.

The main factors that make him powerful are the Curse of Ruin and the Ruined King Sword itself.

However...as long as he is sure that this girl is really willing to take him as her master, and the master-disciple culture of Yan Country is not much different from what he knows, then these will not be a problem.

As long as he leaves a mark unique to Chen Huijie on his body like he did with The Shining... no, the Mark of Ruined Empire, then Chen Huijie will also be able to use the power of the black fog.

Um...

The Broken Legion?

Viego secretly raised his eyebrows, gathered his divergent thoughts, and prepared to listen to Chen Huijie's reasons for wanting to be his disciple.

"...The battle just now made me realize how weak I am. In the face of such power, my body was even terrified and I couldn't even move..."

Chen Huijie raised her eyes, and her red eyes as clear as agate looked at Viego firmly: "I still have a lot of things I want to accomplish... I want to become stronger!"

"So, what's the reason for becoming stronger?" Viego raised his eyebrows.

In the culture of Yan State, the relationship between master and disciple is sometimes even more stable than blood ties. Becoming a master or taking in a disciple is not something that can be decided with just a few words.

Therefore, Chen Huijie was mentally prepared to be questioned in depth and tested many times by Viego.

Chen Huijie is serious about taking the senior as her teacher!

If she missed Viego, she might not have such a good opportunity or such good luck next time to meet such a gentle and easy-to-talk-to senior who was interested in Yan country culture and martial arts novels and who had a common language with her.

Chen Huijie had to consider whether this would be his only chance in his life.

"...Don't laugh at me if you tell me this." She took a deep breath, her pretty face slightly red, and whispered: "I want to be like the heroes in martial arts novels, punishing evil and eliminating evil..."

"I don't want to see favoritism and corruption, I don't want to see false cases, I don't want to see good people die and bad people go unpunished..." She whispered, even though she was a little embarrassed to express her ideals for the first time, but her voice was still firm:

"That's why I want to return to Longmen, join the Guards Bureau, and start from the grassroots... to change the things that I hate. To do this, I need to become stronger...!"

besides...

Thinking of that rainy night more than ten years ago, Chen Huijie's eyes dimmed slightly.

Small tower...

Hearing this, Viego was stunned for a moment.

Chen Huijie quietly observed his expression.

This conversation was both a way for Viego to observe her and for her to observe Viego in return.

Choice is always a two-way street.

Half a second later, Viego laughed and patted her shoulder.

Not a laugh-out-loud sneer, but a gentle and inclusive smile.

"What's so funny about this?" he said. "Huijie, this world needs people like you!"

Idealists may have many faults, and may have this or that shortcomings and deficiencies.

But it is undeniable that if there were no idealists in the world, the world would get better very slowly.

Viego knew that he could not be an idealist, he had always been realistic.

But he never discriminated against idealists, nor was he reluctant to provide them with a little help when he could.

——This is probably what most “ordinary people” do.

However, Viego didn't expect...

Chen Huijie has such a lofty ideal.

OK!

Then we should give more encouragement!

Anyway, they will all be under my control in the future.

Viego is happy to see more members like Chen Huijie and Lavinia under his command, who maintain fairness and a sense of justice in their hearts.

Because he is also an ordinary person, and there are too many injustices that he cannot tolerate.

In the two months he traveled in Syracuse alone, he slaughtered hundreds of family members.

Kill wherever you go.

Chen Huijie stared at Viego in a daze.

This was the first time she had spoken out loud about her ideal. Even Wen Yue, with whom she was closest as an adult, or Chou Lao Shu and Cha Siu Mao, her two best friends from childhood, had never known that she had such an "ideal".

Become a hero, travel the world with a sword, punish evildoers, and help those who are injustice...

Just talking about it, she herself couldn't help but feel that it was a bit ridiculous like a child's fantasy, let alone others.

but...

Viego gave her affirmation.

He actually said, 'This world needs people like you'?

Looking at the man's gentle green eyes filled with encouragement and optimism, he felt the hand patting his shoulder.

Chen Huijie felt that his words were his true thoughts, not just superficial perfunctory remarks.

She felt her eyes suddenly feel sore.

She never thought that there would be someone in this world who would understand her thoughts, her anger and her unwillingness.

But now, this person showed up.

He had even just met her today.

It turns out that there are indeed people in this world who can become close friends the moment they meet and become close friends...

Chen Huijie's eyes were red. She knelt on one knee, lowered her head solemnly, clasped her fists on her forehead, and truly performed the apprenticeship ceremony to the man in front of her.

"Please... accept me as your disciple!"

No need to think any further, she thought.

Be a teacher for one day, and be a father for life.

This man is the one for her whole life.

Uh...why does it sound weird?

It's just a pure master-disciple relationship!



Chapter 172: Rebirth of the Great Flame: I am the Dragon Lord

Viego, who already had the idea of ​​kidnapping someone, naturally would not refuse Chen Huijie's request to become his disciple.

But the conditions in the wilderness were simple, so they did not prepare a grand ceremony of apprenticeship. Chen Huijie simply made a cup of apprenticeship tea for Viego, and after Viego drank it, he was considered to have accepted him as his apprentice.

It's been more than three months since I came to the other world, and I already have a disciple... Viego sighed in his heart.

"Master." Chen Huijie at the side had changed his tone and asked, "As your disciple, do I have to use the same two-handed sword as you?"

"Well...that's not necessary." Viego touched his chin.

"Let me be frank. Compared to the truly profound and mysterious martial arts of the Yan Nation, my skills are nothing special. Since you already have the basics, I can't teach you anything. What I can really give you... is the qualification to control the same power as me."

Chen Huijie's eyes lit up. "Master, please teach me!"

"Hmm..." Viego thought for a moment and said, "Of course, this is the only thing I can give you, but before that, I have to explain this power to you first."

Chen Huijie calmed down and listened obediently, staring at Viego with her big, bright red heroic eyes without blinking.

"First of all, this power is called the Curse of Ruin, and the black mist is merely its surface characteristic." Viego said, controlling a wisp of black mist to wrap around Chen Huijie's fingertips.

"This power is completely different from the so-called 'Originium Art'. Its source is me. It does not require a staff, a spellcasting unit, or a spellcasting array to release it... As long as you are familiar with it enough, you can use it as if it were your own arm."

Chen Huijie nodded, indicating that she understood.

People who often read novels have good abilities to accept and understand. Not to mention that she is a top student at the Royal Guard Academy. She has already been mentally prepared for the uniqueness of a senior like Viego.

The speed of understanding the settings of the Curse of Ruin is naturally very fast.

"Also, because its source is me... So, if you want to use it, I will have to leave a mark on you. In essence, this mark will allow you to use my power at any time. Huijie, can you accept this?"

"No problem, Master!" Chen Huijie agreed without hesitation.

"Just think it over carefully." Viego nodded and waved at her. "Come and sit over here."

"Oh..." Chen Huijie sat down next to Viego as he said, looking at him nervously and expectantly.

"Stretch out your hand." Viego said.

Chen Huijie obediently extended her hand to Viego, and he gently held her wrist with his fingertips.

Then Viego didn't make any more moves.

Chen Huijie waited and waited, but didn't feel anything unusual in her body. She could only feel the slightly cool touch brought by the contact with the man's fingers.

She couldn't help but ask: "Master...what should we do next?"

"What's next? Take out the e-book and let's finish reading One-Armed Chainsaw Man."

Chen Huijie was stunned: "...Ah???"

This...how come this is different from what she thought?

Isn't it about the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, the surging of blood, the feeling of a great increase in power, and rapid strengthening... Do you feel that you can kill a tumor beast with one punch? ?

Why didn't anything happen?

"It takes a lot of my strength to leave a brand. Although I can brand it quickly, I'm afraid the Wolf Lord will make a surprise attack, so it's better to take it slowly." Viego explained.

If a man finishes in just one second, he will be looked down upon.

Better take your time.

Not only can it slowly replenish its strength with the large amount of Originium Dust and Proliferation Originium left behind after the natural disaster, but it can also absorb its disciples and take the opportunity to "drain" them.

...Although leaving a mark on this new cheap apprentice also requires the consumption of the power of the Curse of Ruin, there is the special environment of the natural disaster to supplement it, and there is also a fragment on the apprentice's body. All in all, although the profit is not that much, it is still a profit.

His power will still grow stronger.

only...

The Silver Crown will have to wait a little longer.

But it doesn’t matter.

Based on the previous experience of condensing the Ruined King's Sword, if one wants to obtain the Glittering Silver Crown, one must inevitably weaken the power of the Ruined Curse in one's body.

However, the Glittering Silver Crown is not necessarily used in combat like the Ruined King's Sword, which can help him maintain his combat effectiveness.

Therefore, even if he could condense the Silver Crown, Viego was prepared to wait a little longer, at least until he was far away from the Syracuse territory, or solved the trouble with the Wolf Lord, and made sure that no strong enemy would suddenly come knocking on his door before starting again.

"Oh..." Chen Huijie's pretty face turned red, knowing that her novel had memorized her and she was thinking too much, so she picked up the tablet beside her and reopened "One-Armed Chainsaw Man" which she had read half of before.

.......

Three hours later.

"One-Armed Chainsaw Man" was watched by Viego and his friend.

Chen Huijie returned to the e-book shelf page with a lingering feeling and turned to look at Viego. "Master, how long will it take?"

Her wrist was held by Viego the whole time, and she didn't dare to move. After two hours, she felt that her left hand was so stiff that it seemed like it wasn't her own.

Even though she had suffered much more when practicing sword skills before, she had to admit that it was a bit uncomfortable to keep maintaining such a stiff posture.
