The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 184 Argo

"Okay, that's it for the morning training. Let's take a break and prepare for lunch. Let's continue in the afternoon!"

After hearing what Charles said, both Bell and Welf sat down on the ground, gasping for air and grinning in pain.

It's not their fault. Since the actual combat training began until now, each of them has been hit by Ciel at least a hundred times.

Although Ciel used his strength to prevent them from getting hurt, the pain really hurt!

But none of them said they wanted to give up, because they all clearly felt that they were much stronger than before the training.

The three of them were about to have lunch. Bell took out two lunch boxes, handed one to Charles and said, "That...although it's not much, it's just a gift to thank you for teaching me. Please accept this."

Charles took the lunch and said, "Then I will accept it without any courtesy."

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Welf and said, "Look, Bell still knows how to bring me a lunch box, but you guys don't show any sign at all?"

Of course, Charles was not complaining about Welf, he was just making fun of him. Of course Welf also knew this, and said: "I understand, I can just lend you that notebook to read for a while!"

Knowing that Ciel had encountered problems in forging the magic sword, Welf sent Ciel a note he said he had "randomly" written the next day.

But he never forged a magic sword, so where did the notes come from? And Ciel could tell that the handwriting was all new, so it must have been done by that kid who stayed up late.

They even talked about borrowing it for a while, but Welf never mentioned repaying it.

The two smiled at each other, both understanding their jokes.

Charles opened the lunch box, glanced at it, then looked at Bell and said, "This is a very rich lunch box. Did Bell make it himself?"

Charles didn't remember that Bell had any cooking skills, and the bento was quite exquisite, and it didn't look like Bell could make it.

Bell scratched his hair and said: "Well, I bought this from the hostess of Fengfu. Miss Liu heard that you trained me, and she specifically told me that the lunch box was for you."

Charles was stunned for a moment, then looked at the bento in Bell's hand. As expected, everything from the side dishes to the craftsmanship was different from the one in his hand.

‘Isn’t this bento made by Miss Elf herself? Then does it count as a love bento?’

Ciel laughed as he thought about it. He didn't know if he felt good about himself.

But the bento tasted really good, and Ciel ate it all without any leftover.

It was not suitable to exercise after a meal. While the three of them were waiting to digest, Bell walked over to Charles with a blushing face.

"Mr. Charles, I heard that you participated in the Loki Familia's expedition. I don't know about...that. Do you know Ais Wallenstein of the Loki Familia?"

Charles smiled and said: "So you want to ask about Sword Lady? What, Bell, do you have any thoughts about her?"

Bell's face turned red and he waved his hands quickly: "No! No! She saved me in the dungeon last time, so I...!"

Charles looked at the shy Bell, laughed and said, "I know, there is nothing strange about a young man's longing."

Welf also came over and joked: "What! So Bell, you admire that swordswoman!"

Bell's face turned redder and white appeared on his head.

"Mr. Charles, Mr. Welf, please stop making fun of me!"

Charles stopped laughing and said to Bell: "Sword Lady, I do know some things about her."

Looking at Bell's expectant eyes, Ciel continued: "She... is a very talented adventurer. I think she will be able to upgrade to LV6 soon!"

There was a trace of disappointment in Bell's eyes, obviously because he noticed the huge gap between himself and the other party.

"However, that child is also very hard-working, working almost desperately to become stronger for a goal. But this also makes the child become cold, plus she is not good at expressing her feelings, so it seems that people dare not

near."

Bell nodded excitedly. This silly kid could really understand what he was thinking about Ais at a glance!

"Thank you very much for telling me so much."

Charles waved his hand and said: "These are just some well-known things. I can't tell you other private things."

Bell said quickly: "No, I'm very grateful that you can tell me this."

Ciel stood up and said: "It's almost time to rest, let's continue training! Bell, if you want to catch up with Sword Lady, you can't relax in training!"

"yes!"

…

As the training progressed, Ciel also discovered problems between the two of them.

Charles kicked Welf away and said: "Welf, how many times have I told you not to rush too fast. You are a blacksmith, and you will definitely go on adventures in the dungeon with your companions in the future. You must pay attention to your cooperation with your companions.

"

Then Charles tilted his head, dodged Bell's dagger, and struck Bell on the head with his sword.

"As for Bell, what are you afraid of?"

Bell's movements suddenly stopped, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene when he met the Minotaur.

What Bell encountered was actually a problem that all novice adventurers would encounter, that is, the fear of monsters and death.

Many newcomers will even give up on being adventurers after encountering a life-and-death crisis.

As Aisi said, adventurers risk their lives in dungeons for money, fame, hatred, or dreams. They have long since abandoned their fears.

But Bell is different. Charles can feel his "innocence", and it is that innocence that makes him always troubled by fear.

Charles sighed and said: "Bear, listen carefully, fear is not wrong. It is precisely because of the fear of death that we value the beauty of life, but don't be affected by fear.

And Welf, you are just the opposite. Enlightenment does not mean having no fear, you must learn to be afraid!

It may be difficult for you to understand just what I said, so..."

As he spoke, Ciel put on a fighting stance, but made no move to attack.

Bell and Welf seemed to see scarlet flames emerging from Ciel's eyes, and then a suffocating aura came over them.

"I...will die!"

This was a thought shared by both of them. Every vital part of their bodies was tingling, as if they would be hit by Ciel's attack at any time.

Ciel didn't do anything, he just released his desire to kill the two of them. The powerful killing intention made the two of them feel the fear of being killed.

Welf's legs were trembling, and the big knife had fallen to the ground. There was a look of pain on his face, and he completely lost the momentum of the fierce attack just now.

Bell's condition wasn't much better, he couldn't even feel the touch of the weapon in his hand.

Ciel assessed the status of the two of them. This kind of adaptive training is most effective only the first time. Ciel hopes that the two of them can persist as much as possible.

Bell felt that his vision was beginning to blur, and he vaguely seemed to have returned to the time when he faced the Minotaur.

Just when he couldn't hold on any longer, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You must stand upright next to that person! You must become stronger immediately!"

With this belief, Bell felt that his senses became clear again. And he also straightened his body in the face of Ciel's murderous intention.

Ciel is not surprised. Explosive seeding is a necessary skill for the protagonist. It is expected that Bell can break through the limit.

What Ciel didn't expect was Welf, who also stood up holding his weapon.

"I can't lose to Bell either. Let me show you the perseverance of the blacksmith!"

Ciel withdrew his murderous intention with satisfaction, and the two of them sat on the ground with relief. Only then did sweat dare to flow from their pores, and the two of them instantly became like drowned rats.

Ciel looked at Bell and suddenly thought of his "Hero's Vision" skill.

What are heroes? Are they the brave men chosen by God in the story who have magnificent skills and wield the holy sword to defeat the devil?

No! The hero that Ciel understands is a person who can let everyone see the light of hope even in difficult situations. Even if he is not strong enough, he can guide people to move forward bravely. Only such a person can be regarded as a hero.

Just like Argo, the original hero in the story.

In the myth of Charles' previous life, Argo was the name of a ship. It carried fifty famous heroes including Jason, Hercules, Orpheus and Theseus to retrieve the

The golden fleece.

But in this world, Argo is the one who starts all heroic epics.

Argo is different from other famous heroes. His story is full of teasing, use and ridicule. He stands on the stage like a clown.

But Argo did not give up his faith and heroic dream, and used his smile to shine brightly in that dark era.

Argo is called the original hero not because he defeated the Minotaur and rescued the princess, but because his deeds inspired the emergence of countless heroes.

Just like the ship that guided the great heroes to great achievements.

Even though his deeds came to an abrupt end during his next expedition, he is still being sung to this day.

At this time, Ciel also experienced the fun of the gods. It was indeed interesting to watch the seedlings of heroes gradually grow.

I am currently working on Chapter 4. I can guarantee that I will finish the fourth update with 9,000 words today. The fifth update will depend on the situation.
