Chapter 312 Bazel’s Dad

【Mermaid】Enter,

The sky is clear and the slightly salty warm sea breeze blows on my body, which makes me feel very comfortable.

The recent journey has been very smooth, and we didn't even encounter bad weather.

All the sailors and mercenaries on board the Mermaid relaxed and enjoyed the rare good time.

There was a circle of people lying on the deck sunbathing, and a lazy atmosphere surrounded the boat. Seeing this, Lauren had no intention of stopping.

After all, these will be the backbone of the Milne Chamber of Commerce's expansion of routes in the future. I had a fierce battle with a pirate ship a few days ago and I really need to take a rest and relax.

However, in this relaxed atmosphere, there is a little figure who is a little out of place.

At the front of the deck, a petite and cute figure stood there, holding a long sword in his hand, struggling to maintain balance.

Looking carefully, her white forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her thin arms were still shaking slightly. It was obvious that she had been holding on for a long time.

This little figure who is maintaining the basic posture is Helen, who has become a disciple of Li Si and is preparing to embark on the path of transcendence.

After Li Si took Helen in that day, he did not directly start teaching Helen about warrior martial arts or other skills. Instead, he taught her a few postures and asked Helen to start with physical exercise.

After all, Helen's body is still too weak now. The pain and torture she experienced before have made Helen's physical development obviously slower than that of children of the same age. Although she has made up for it during this period, there are still shortcomings.

Starting to learn warrior training and martial arts rashly would be detrimental to her growth.

Polish your body first, train your will, and then talk about other things.

The sweat on Helen's forehead kept falling. She tried her best to steady the sword in her hand. As time passed, the shaking of the sword in her hand continued to increase.

At first, the sailors and mercenaries on board the Mermaid watched Helen's exercise with great interest, and laughed and made bets on how long Helen could last.

But in the past few days, Helen's performance made everyone put away their smiles of watching the show, and began to admire this cute little girl's persistence.

Although I was following that adult, I could endure this kind of hardship.

As expected, we cannot underestimate the people around Mr. Li Si!

Everyone consciously gave up the space on the bow of the boat to Helen and did not disturb her exercise.

Bazel sat aside, leaning against the side of the ship, holding a wine bottle in his arms, taking a sip of wine from time to time, but his attention was always on Helen.

Li Si asked him to follow Helen, and he would naturally not go anywhere else.

Helen's current exercise is very simple, and Bazel can take good care of her, so Li Si naturally saves this effort.

"Have a break."

Bazel held the wine in his hand preciously and said to Helen.

Li Si took out this bottle of wine and gave it to him so that he could watch Helen's exercise.

Bazel liked drinking very much, but the first moment he opened the cork, the aroma of wine that hit his face attracted his attention.

Damn, it’s so profitable to follow a boss like this!

A satisfied Bazel will naturally work hard so that he can get better rewards from Li Si.

Seeing Helen's swaying body almost unable to stand, Bazel frowned slightly.

As a silver-level assassin, he naturally had this kind of time to polish his foundation.

But that kind of suffering was quite unbearable, and he persevered because of his father's "care".

I originally thought that taking care of Helen would be a similar process, but I didn't expect that Helen's consciousness and enthusiasm were so high. He didn't need his supervision at all. Instead, he had to be careful not to hurt her body by over-exercising.

Bazel stood up, took the sword from Helen's hand, and said helplessly:

"I've told you so many times that you can easily get injured while exercising like this. You've already been training very hard, so there's no need for this."

Helen, whose sword was snatched from her hand, seemed to wake up from a certain state of devotion. She sat down on the deck, raised her sweaty face, and said sheepishly:

"Sorry, Uncle Bazel."

"I just wanted to see how far I could go."

"Who are you lying to?"

Although Bazel felt that being called uncle was a bit too much, he couldn't say the words to ask Helen to call him brother, so he could only add helplessly:

"How can you challenge your limits every day?"

"Master Li Si should have told you that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. It will only be effective if you lay a good physical foundation and challenge the limits."

"Yes, I understand!"

Helen nodded seriously and collapsed on the deck with a bang. It was obvious that she no longer had any strength.

Bazel didn't care. Since he wanted to become a transcendent, he naturally couldn't be so squeamish.

Of course, this was what Li Si had explained in advance, otherwise Bazel would not have dared to do this.

Let her rest for a while and move her back to the cabin later.

In the evening, Li Si would treat Helen and recover from the trauma on her body, so Bazel wouldn't have to worry about it.

"Uncle Bazel"

Helen's little voice suddenly sounded.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle Bazel, are you very powerful?"

Helen asked quietly.

"Why do you say that?"

Bazel, who was holding the wine bottle, was a little interested and asked.

"Because I heard that Lord Li Si only kept you on that pirate ship."

"And in the competition over the past few days, I don't think anyone can beat you."

Helen's whole body was sore now, so she had to lie down on the deck obediently.

"Oh, maybe, because I'm special?"

Bazel smiled to himself and took a swig of wine.

"Uncle Bazel, how did you become so powerful?"

Helen asked curiously. Ever since she decided to become a paranormal professional, she really wanted to know more about professionals.

But Mr. Li Si rarely talked about those things with her and only asked her to keep exercising.

"Ha ha."

Bazel smiled bitterly, seeming to remember the unpleasant past before leaving home.

He didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly felt the desire to talk to Helen in front of him.

"My strength was all developed under the supervision of my father."

"My dad is very strong, very strong!"

“But also very stubborn!”

Bazel leaned his head gently against the side of the ship, looking at the blue sky and the seagulls flying past from time to time. His eyes were blurred and he said softly:

"I always feel that my father is too strict with me. He won't let me do this and won't let me do that."

"On top of that, he barely lets me out of his sight and has to stay home all day."

"Numbly exercising my body, honing my skills, and improving my strength."

"It's painful, really!"

Bazel turned back, looked at Helen, and said with a smile:

"So when I saw you starting to exercise, I was still thinking about when you would give up."

"But you are better than me. If it was me at that time, lazy or something, that's for sure."

"What happened next, Uncle Bazel?"

Helen asked next, seeming to feel a hint of heaviness from Bazel's narrative.

"Dad is very strong. Even before I left home, I never defeated him once."

"But it's strange. I don't know why. Dad's body is always injured. Sometimes he even vomits blood secretly while hiding from me. I don't even notice the slightest movement of him fighting with others."

"But I wasn't sensible at that time and didn't care about this. On the contrary."

Bazel was silent for a moment, as if it was difficult to speak.

"On the contrary, I resented him a little."

"I hate why he is so harsh on me and why he doesn't let me play with my friends."

"I can only exercise, exercise, and exercise boringly on the sidelines. There seems to be nothing else in my life."

"Then one day I couldn't stand it anymore. I heard from traveling merchants that becoming a mercenary was a very exciting thing."

"The colorful adventure attracted me immediately."

"So, one night after that, I secretly hid from my father and ran away."

"Didn't you get arrested by your father? Didn't you say that he was very strong?"

Helen asked in a curious tone.

"Very strong, very strong."

Bazel sighed a little, and then said:

"I will never forget that night. I have escaped before, but he caught me every time. But that night I managed to escape for more than a hundred meters without being knocked unconscious by my father."

"I was so excited that I was ready to run away from the village."

"When I looked back, I found that the door of my house was open, with a warm light flashing inside, and my dad was standing at the door, looking at me quietly."

"I was frightened and thought I was going to be caught again, so I ran away quickly."

"I don't know how long I've been running, but my dad never showed up."

"Now that I think about it, maybe dad let me go that night."

"Uh-huh."

Helen tried her best to raise her head and looked at Bazel.

"Later I found out that I had always been very unlucky, and the people I was with were very unlucky, and many of them even died."

A smile appeared on Bazel's face and he added:

"Just like that pirate ship."

"So, I'm wondering if dad's injuries are because of me?"

"Uh-huh."

Helen nodded repeatedly. To be honest, she still didn't understand what Bazel meant by bad luck.

Bazel didn't care either, and he didn't bother to explain it carefully to Helen.

He has been hiding these things in his heart. At this time, he just wants to find someone to talk to, whether she understands or not.

"Uncle Bazel, I think your father must be very proud, right?"

Helen's clear voice reached Bazel's ears.

"Um?"

"Because, your father must have thought that you were good enough, so he let you leave home."

"I feel like you are able to face the risks outside on your own."

Helen said seriously, but she thought of her mother in her heart.

"Haha, maybe."

Bazel smiled.

Perhaps because Li Si promised to help him get rid of the bad luck that was entangled in him, Bazel's whole person seemed to be much brighter.

Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Bazel felt much better for some reason.

When you break through gold, go back and see your dad!

Bazel made up his mind.

The other side,

The disgraced Li Si was walking out of the cabin that had been transformed into a temporary magic workshop, and casually used the [Cleaning Technique] to remove the stains on his body.

Open the door to let fresh air into the workshop and take away the smoke caused by the explosion.

"Failed again."

Li Si was in a calm mood and didn't pay much attention.

Failure is the mother of success!

A mage cannot succeed without thousands of mothers.

I just tried to make other magic props and failed. The other materials were fine, but I lost a little mithril, which made Li Si feel a little heartbroken.

Li Si wanted to try to make some magic equipment and props that he could use, but the process was quite difficult.

Although he is a silver-level arcanist, ordinary magic props and equipment are of little help.

With Li Si's rich hoard, perhaps only items of the highest quality silver and above would be meaningful.

That is not something as easy as making [Siren Earrings], and it is still far away from Li Si's current level.

Li Si could only patiently explore bit by bit.

Even with the inheritance of the two legendary arcanists Stephens and Sphinx, Li Si's daily progress can be seen with the naked eye. Another person would probably have to blindly figure it out.

Li Si stood outside the door for a while, adjusting his mentality.

Let’s put this aside later and play with the spell model first!

It's like studying in a previous life. If you get confused when studying mathematics, change your thinking to chemistry.

"Lord Li Si!"

Just when Li Si was about to continue his happy research, a voice interrupted Li Si.

Li Si looked back and said with a smile:

"What's the matter, Aivar, is there something wrong?"

Eivar, the official mercenary who walked towards Li Si, had a little excitement on his face.

"Lord Li Si, we are almost reaching the sea area of ​​the island in my memory. I have a vague feeling."

"oh?"

Li Si will naturally not forget the island that Aivar mentioned to him, or he is very interested in that place.

Simply stop studying and walked outside.

"Come on, point me in the direction and let's go take a look together."

"good."

Aivar also looked forward to it. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Walking onto the deck and standing at the highest point, Aivar closed his eyes and sensed for a while, then pointed in the southeast direction of the [Mermaid].

"It should be over here. There is something there that is attracting my body."

"good."

Li Si put his right hand on Eivar's shoulder, and the two of them disappeared instantly. The other sailors and mercenaries were already used to it.

Recently, Li Si often leaves the ship to experiment with spells on the sea not far away. They have seen many such scenes.

On the sea more than ten kilometers southeast, the figures of Li Si and Aivar appeared there, flying in mid-air.

"here?"

Aivar closed his eyes and sensed it, shook his head and said:

"Going further south."

"good."

Li Si nodded, and in an instant he used [Teleportation] again to take Aivar away from the place.

After moving twice more, Aivar said loudly:

"This is it!"

Li Si lowered his head and looked down, and all he saw was the blue sea with slight waves.
