At this moment, he thought that according to the previous simulation content, the arrest of members of the evil alchemy organization had been completed and the interrogation results should have come out.
In another month, the deputy commander of the canyon defense line, Amburu, will come to hold a promotion ceremony for him.
Thinking of this, Lei Te felt relieved. Then he thought that on the 6th of this month, it was Ruilai's wedding, and they just returned to the territory today. They didn't have much time left, and they needed to prepare for this event quickly.
After finishing the picking and planting of frost sunflowers, Rhett took Riley back to the main castle.
Sveta was in the corridor on the first floor, watering the potted plants by the window.
He held a red shower head in one hand and hummed a brisk tune. The return of the master made him feel happy.
"The hot summer is finally over. I don't need to patrol the manor every day and sweat profusely." He imagined in his heart: "The cool autumn is coming soon, and I can pick wild okra and berries around Eagle Town.
Well, but we absolutely cannot let Shar do this job this year. Last year, I trusted him too much and didn’t even notice that an okra was covered in cow dung! "
"Sveta, it's great that you are here. I need your help with something." Rhett walked into the main castle, looked around, and found the butler in a black coat.
Sveta came to her senses and quickly placed the shower head against the wall beside the passage.
He quickened his pace and approached Lei Te, saying respectfully, "Master, please give me your orders."
"It's a happy event." Lei Te patted Ruilai beside him with a smile on his face and said, "This time when we went to Dam Town, Ruilai and Dam Town's eldest lady, Klina, have already arranged their marriage, which will be on the sixth of this month.
So…there are only five days left, and I hope to decorate our manor and castle and prepare for the wedding in a few days."
"That's great, congratulations, Master Riley, and I wish you a happy marriage in the future!" Sveta offered her sincere blessings.
"Thank you, Mr. Sveta!" Riley replied.
"Master, what do you think of the wedding scene? We will arrange it according to your needs."
"No need to ask me." Leiter shook his head and looked at his second son beside him: "The decision should be left to Ruilai. This is his wedding!"
Ruilai did not refuse, but held his chin seriously, thought calmly for a while, and said slowly: "I want to cover the corridor on the first floor with flower petals, and then on the wedding day, I hope the chandelier above my head can emit blue light.
As for other places, I don't have any special requirements. I will just use the common layout similar to that used when I held my eldest brother's wedding."
"Is that so..." Lei Te's eyes showed a trace of thought, "Flowers are easy to say, there are plenty of them in the manor. If you want the chandelier to emit blue light, you can use sapphire as a lampshade and cover it..."
Before Leiter finished speaking, Ruilai took over the conversation and said, "Leave the engraving of the sapphire lampshade to me. It will be more meaningful if I do it myself."
"Thank you for your hard work. You can use any gem in the warehouse." Rhett had the same idea. Just now in the magic plant cultivation field, he saw Ruilai's extremely talented ice sculpture eagle. He thought there was no need to recruit other people.
Rhett took the lead and walked into the hall again.
"I hope the castle can be cleaned carefully every day in the next few days. Also, if there are any tables, chairs, or benches that are worn out or torn, ask Kuding to make a new set immediately. I don't want any accidents to happen on the wedding day." Rhett looked around, pointed at every corner, and gave orders.
"I understand, master. I will carry out this matter meticulously and ensure that Master Riley's wedding goes smoothly." After saying that, seeing that the master had no new instructions, Sveta retreated with a serious face and prepared to arrange the tasks.
"Rui Lai, where has Bai Ge gone these days? It seems that I haven't seen Bai Ge since I came back." Rhett asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
"It likes to play in the thorn forest. Ever since I took it there three months ago, it has completely fallen in love with that place!" Ruilai said helplessly when he mentioned Bai Ge.
"I see. Magical beasts like the Wind Tiger are wild and lively. Before breaking through the secondary level, hunting more ordinary beasts will help it grow. Let it go!" When saying this, Lei Te also thought of his own Fire Feather Eagle. He had never given up feeding it fire essence during this period. Even when he left the territory, he would let his son help feed it. Calculating the time, it will hatch in six months.
"That's what I thought, Father!"
After making a preliminary plan for the wedding arrangements, the two of them simply had some tea in the castle.
During this period, Ruilai applied to test the effectiveness of his training and start subsequent magic training. Naturally, Leiter would not refuse.
So, the father and son came to the training ground together.
"Rui Lai, let me see the results of your practice in the past few months and how much your spellcasting level has improved!" While speaking, Rhett condensed two stones.
Ruilai's eyes were full of eagerness. Thinking back to the results of his hard training over the past few months, he was quite confident! "I'm ready, father!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rhett pulled his finger out from the gap between the two stones and pushed it inward half a centimeter.
"As usual, you must pass through the center of the two stones without leaving any marks on them. If you can do this several times in a row without making any mistakes, we will start the next step of magic training!"
"It's a deal!" Ruilai was full of confidence. His mental power twitched, and a water arrow quickly condensed and shot straight in front of him.
With a "whoosh", a water arrow passed through the center of the stone.
Lei Te's eyes lit up. With his eyesight and experience, he could tell that the flight trajectory of the water arrow was perfect and there was absolutely no possibility of error! He walked forward and saw that there was indeed no trace left in the middle of the two stones.
He gave Ruilai a thumbs up and encouraged her, "Not bad, try three more times and if you succeed in all of them, you'll meet the standard!"
Ruilai nodded seriously, staring at the two stones intently, and then repeated his old tricks, firing three water arrows in succession.
whoosh whoosh whoosh
Three water arrows pierced through the rocks in succession.
Ruilai walked forward to observe it himself, pointed at the stone and said excitedly: "Father, I succeeded, and I have achieved what you asked!"
"Haha, good, keep up the progress!" Lei Te encouraged, and then said: "In this case, let's move on to the second phase of training!"
"Please speak, father." Riley pretended to listen carefully.
Leiter began to talk: "Before we start, we need to know the magic of water arrows. The starting point of the spell is fixed, and the end point needs to be adjusted accordingly according to the target, so attacking a fixed target is only the most basic requirement.
In actual combat, in most cases, the enemy will move, which goes without saying, so the next step in training is to improve the accuracy of striking moving targets."
"It can be simply called mobile target practice." Lei Te gathered a stone in his hand, tossed it lightly and repeatedly, and said, "When you do this training in the future, remember to find someone to throw the stone for you."
"I understand, father." Ruilai raised his eyebrows and said without any pressure: "But for me, mobile target shooting is not a difficult task. Before father came back, I myself had practiced shooting and never missed a single shot."
"Oh? Really?" Lei Te showed a strange smile on his face, "I told you last time that a true master always has the heart of an apprentice.
It seems that you haven’t understood it deeply enough…”
Hearing this, Ruilai's face turned solemn, and he keenly realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.
Under Riley's puzzled gaze, Rhett's mental power twitched, leaving a hole in the center of the stone. The size of the hole was only slightly larger than the thickness of the water arrow.
Seeing this scene, Ruilai's pupils shrank.
"Could it be... passing through a moving hole?!"
"Come on, my son. Next, I will throw the stone high up in the air, and you need to adjust your position and the casting angle of the water arrow while it rolls and moves in the air, and predict the rolling and moving trajectory of the stone, and finally pass through the hole!"
"Now, can you still hit the target every time?"
Ruilai was stunned and swallowed his saliva. He wanted to say, "This is too difficult! Forget about hitting the target every time. It feels like I can't hit the target even once!"
But in the end, he took a deep breath, remembered what his father once said, "Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to climb." He made up his mind and said solemnly, "Come on, father, I want to give it a try!"
"That's right. Believe in yourself, take the first step, and you're halfway to success!" Rhett encouraged, then threw the stone more than ten meters high.
Ruilai's expression froze, and his head twisted to follow the movement of the stone, while his eyes were closely searching for the location of the hole.
Moreover, it is not enough to just find the hole in front. You need to find a perfect passage and predict the trajectory of rolling and moving, arrive in front of the high-speed, constantly changing passage in time, and let the water arrow run through it.
Each step is a challenge! It is even more difficult to complete it in one go!
Ruilai felt a headache. Just as he took a few steps and seemed to have found the first hole, the stone fell to the ground.
Practicing it in person was several times more difficult than what Ruilai heard and imagined.
"Huh." Ruilai let out a long breath, looked at the stones on the ground, and felt frustrated.
This is completely different from the fixed target shooting in the first phase. Compared with the difficulty of the current training, he feels that the previous fixed target shooting was just a child's play.
"Don't forget, you can also control the wind element slightly to speed up your movement!" Rhett reminded.
"Yes!" Ruilai's eyes flashed with realization, and he adjusted his state and gritted his teeth and said, "Father, come again!"
At this time, more than ten stones with holes in them had gathered under Rhett's feet. He picked up one and threw it into the sky.
Ruilai, who had circled the wind element in advance, looked up and observed carefully. At the same time, his footsteps kept moving, and his speed was indeed faster than the first time.
But in the end, the stone fell to the ground intact.
In the ever-changing trajectory, he found the perfect channel and reacted with his body to block him outside the door.
“Come again!”
Failure "Try again!"
fail ……
For an entire afternoon, Ruilai was in the process of failure and then standing up again. He was tortured by the little stone and had no temper at all.
Rhett had already condensed a small hill of practice stones nearly two meters high on the ground.
Gazing at Ruilai who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating to restore his mental strength, a hint of relief appeared in Rhett's eyes. Frustration is not scary, what is scary is to retreat when faced with setbacks.
"I have gathered enough stones for practice here, about three days' supply, and I will come here to replenish it from time to time in the future."
"Thank you, father!" Ruilai opened his eyes, revealing a hint of fatigue.
Although meditation can restore mental strength, keeping his mental strength highly concentrated for an entire afternoon also made him a little exhausted.
"Are you tired?" Rhett asked.
Ruilai was silent for a few seconds, and replied: "I'm tired, but I will persist!"
"Very good. Failure is the mother of success. Every failure is accumulating experience for the final success. What you have to do is to maintain the belief of not giving up in the process and hold on to the end!"
"I will!" Ruilai showed determination on his face, and then said, "Father, can I ask you a question?"
"Oh? What's the problem?" Rhett also sat on the ground with interest.
"During your initial magic training, in addition to the improvement in actual combat, how did others assist you in daily life?"
Lei Te thought for a while, organized his words, and said: "I am an earth magician. It is not difficult to assist. I just ask the knight to take a long-handled tool such as a wooden stick or a wooden board, put a point on it, and let him swing it at will. I just need to stab that point. It is a very simple method.
"Or in the fall, kick a tree and let a thorn pierce as many petioles as possible. In the winter, pierce snowflakes. In the spring and summer, you can pierce mosquitoes.
And Well, there are many ways anyway. What hinders a person's growth is often not external conditions, but a person's determination and perseverance. "Leite stared at the white clouds, as if lost in memories.
"That makes sense." Rui Lai nodded in agreement. The fatigue in his heart instantly dissipated because of these words.
When talking about the battlefield, Ruilai's mind became active, and he suddenly asked curiously: "Father, where are the comrades who assisted you in magic training back then?"
After saying this, Lei Te fell silent. After a pause, he said, "Actually, it was only a few years ago that someone assisted me. As they died in battle one by one, I made friends with new comrades, got familiar with them, and they assisted me in training, and then they died in battle too...
Later, I didn’t want to repeat this process again, so I tried other methods.”
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have mentioned my father's sad past." Raylai said apologetically. After a little thought, he changed the subject, "Father, is there a third stage in magic training? If so, what will it be?"
