Wizard of All Souls

"You really don't want to compete with me?" Harvey asked again.

"don't want."

Rickon not only rejected Harvey decisively, but also sat down against the tree trunk, picked up a half-yellow dead leaf and played an unknown piece of music.

There is no intention of agreeing to Harvey's request at all.

"Why?" Harvey lowered his head in frustration.

Originally, he thought that only Rickon would never reject him.

At the same age as him, with similar strength and status, Rickon was the only one around.

It is impossible to see one's true strength by competing with others.

Although every time he fights with Rickon, he fights against Rickon in the front, and is beaten up by the back for no reason.

But each time I learn a lot.

In the past, he always looked down upon the little tricks that he couldn't cope with, but he gradually got used to them.

Because the real battle is not a contest.

Whether you die or I die is a life-and-death struggle.

Harvey, who knew that Rickon had made up his mind, sat down beside Rickon, picked up a dead branch and played with an ant in vain.

"Grandpa, come back quickly."

Grandpa Baron Leo made an appointment with him before he left.

If he becomes a quasi-knight, let him join the urban and rural reserve guards for actual combat training.

"What fun is there in fighting goblins, wild boars, and black bears?" Rickon asked puzzled.

The urban and rural reserve guards are nothing more than a group of villagers.

It would be nice to have a reserve knight in a team.

What they do is mainly to drive away goblins and other beasts that hinder agricultural production. When there is a flood, they will dig channels and save people.

To be honest, he didn't think that joining the urban and rural reserve guards would improve Harvey's strength.

"It's called taking things step by step and accumulating combat experience down-to-earth. That's what my father was like back then." Harvey said with longing.

His father Will left when he was very young, and he has long forgotten his father's voice and appearance.

But from the words of others, we can get a glimpse of how powerful Will is.

Everyone he met had nothing but admiration for Will.

"But I heard that father's first battle in front of everyone was with a four-armed ghost ape? Has he ever fought a goblin?" Rickon said with his head tilted.

"The four-armed ghost ape has the strength of a great knight. How could he be my father's first opponent? Although my father is very powerful, don't listen to those rumors." Harvey said with pouting.

"……Too."

Rickon himself thought it impossible.

Just judging from the information he collected, his father, who was praised by everyone, was full of mysteries, especially his strength.

"I think it's mainly related to the teacher?" Rickon said in a low voice after thinking about it.

There has always been a rumor in Albert Castle that Will was lucky enough to have a passing paladin as his teacher.

Many people saw with their own eyes that the man named Lei Pu carried a four-armed ghost ape out of the Red Moon Forest.

The specimen of the four-armed ghost ape is still in the hall.

"It also has a lot to do with personal efforts." Harvey lowered his head depressed.

He thinks that his talent is no lower than that of his father Will.

Will was a quasi-knight when he was fifteen, and he was a quasi-knight at thirteen.

Talent hangs Will Eighteen Streets.

But the evaluation of him by the people in the castle is still far lower than that of Will.

Why is this happening?

Obviously, his performance before the age of fifteen was higher than that of Will.

"Is it really because of the Paladin?" Harvey looked at the sky and sighed.

His father had paladins as teachers.

Received the guidance of the paladin and learned the breathing method of the paladin.

That's why he was able to advance to a quasi-knight at the age of fifteen, and in a few months he would be able to fight two moves with the four-armed ghost ape with the strength of a great knight.

In the end, he sneakily attacked and killed a four-armed ghost ape.

"Where's my teacher?"

Grandpa Baron Leo is indeed very powerful, but he is only a peak knight.

Uncle Nikon is also very powerful, but much weaker than grandpa.

"If I can also worship a paladin as a teacher, then I must..." Harvey clenched his fists tightly.

"Must be what?" Rickon asked.

"It's fine."

Harvey lowered his head in frustration.

How can a paladin be so easy to meet?

Harvey stood up suddenly and pulled out the long sword at his waist, "Compete with me, at worst, I won't use my vitality."

Looking at Harvey's firm eyes, Rickon hesitated.

"You have just advanced to the rank of quasi knight. If you don't use your vitality, your strength will not be much stronger than that of the reserve knight."

"Aren't you afraid that you can't beat me like this?"

"No, it's just that your original intention is not to know your specific strength? To know how strong you have become? Is it useful to suppress the strength?"

"this……"

Harvey froze.

Rickon had a point.

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue or not.

"I heard what you said, Daha, let me be your opponent." A girl wearing a tight black kendo uniform came out with a smile.

"who!"

Harvey turned his head angrily.

He himself has a very good personality, even if a servant accidentally poured water on him, he can forgive him with a smile.

However, only calling him Daha is absolutely unforgivable!

Whenever he thinks of this name, he will feel sad from the bottom of his heart.

The name Harvey was decided before he was born.

Nice name.

It is said that his father Will took it.

It's a pity that success is also Will, and defeat is also Will.

But on the night he made his voice, an accident happened.

Looking at him who was just born, his father wondered if his brain had a sudden cramp, and actually said that he wanted to take a nickname.

Use nicknames until adulthood.

Others also felt that this idea was a good idea.

then--

"As my eldest son, he was born amid the blessings and smiles of everyone, so let's call him Daha."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

At that time, no one came out to stop Will.

So his nickname was decided.

Others who came to their senses later regretted it.

But the names have been decided, and they agreed at the time, so what else? Be careful in the future.

I heard that when Rickon was born, Will also took a nickname, called Er Geng or something.

But it was stopped by everyone.

As a result, he became the only person in the family with a nickname.

The nickname is Daha.

Originally, this name was to be called until adulthood.

Fortunately, the members of the family still have a bit of conscience. As soon as Will left, Grandpa Leo canceled his nickname on the back.

However, there are still some people in the family who like to tease him and call him Daha.

Whoever dares to call him Daha, he will be in a hurry with anyone.

Even if it was Grandpa Baron Leo, he would kick a few times with a black face.

Gazing at the beautiful smiling figure behind him, Harvey's face suddenly darkened, and his legs were trembling with fear.

What is this woman?

"I, I still have something to do, I'm leaving first." Harvey got up quickly, trying to escape.

"Didn't you say that you want to find someone to try swords? I'm kind enough to help you, but you don't appreciate it?" Offee said with narrowed eyes.

"This, this..." Harvey's eyes kept flickering, "Rickon needs my help in an emergency, and next time when we practice sword... Rickon, you boy, stop!"

In the blink of an eye, Rickon was left with only one butt.

Blink again, and Rickon's figure was gone.

Harvey looked back tremblingly, and found Offie with a smug smile on his face, "It seems that Rickon doesn't need your help?"

Harvey gritted his teeth, "Damn it, I must give him a good lesson later."

half an hour later.

"Big ha, goodbye."

Satisfied, Ofi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, hummed a song and bounced away.

Harvey was beaten and lay on the grass like a pig's head.

With mud in his mouth, he had an expression of lovelessness.
