Another night came. Zhao Hai and Fatty were sitting in front of the fire, drinking wine, eating chicken, and chatting. The two had already been in the mountain for five days. In these five days, aside from the first two days, they didn't encounter anything else. Of course, they did encounter two demon beasts with decent strength. However, they simply weren't a match for Zhao Hai and Fatty. Those demon beasts became dishes in their mouths.
After Fatty drank a mouthful of wine, he let out a long breath and said, "To be honest, Old Zhao, don't you feel bored staying in this forest where there's not much sunlight?"
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty and said, "What's wrong? Are you bored? "
Fatty muttered, "When I first came in, it was really refreshing. Everything was fun. But after a few days, it's still the same. To be honest, I'm a bit annoyed."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I'm not annoyed. Because as an adventurer, the most important thing is to be able to endure loneliness. Sometimes, in order to complete a task, you have to stay in the wilderness for many days. I used to do this kind of thing, so what's there to be annoyed about?"
Fatty sighed and said, "Being an adventurer isn't easy. Now I know why you had that kind of expression when you first heard me talking about adventurers. Now I also understand that being an adventurer isn't easy."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Have you thought about what you'll do in the future? Even if you don't want to return to the Ice Jade Country, even if you want to live an ordinary life here, you still need to have a source of income. You also need to let your wife and children live without worry, right? Do you want to be an adventurer all the time? To be honest, you're not suitable. "
Old Zhao, although I don't have a child, but as you said, I also need to think about my child. If I return home, I might marry a woman I don't like, but my child will get the best education. He will be born superior, but he will also lose his family. If I don't return home, then my child won't have any advantages. He will have to be like an ordinary person, rushing about in order to live. He doesn't know how dangerous the Imperial Palace is, he doesn't know how ruthless the Imperial Family is, but he will have to face all kinds of difficulties that ordinary people have. Therefore, I don't know what to do right now. "
"Fatty, I really didn't know that you were such a sentimental person, but you're right. This is indeed a dilemma. Do you want to live freely, or do you want your children and grandchildren to live in limitless glory? Both choices have their pros and cons. Fortunately, we have time, so you can slowly think about it. If you really can't, we can pay for it and open a store together. When you have your own business, your children and grandchildren won't have to worry about living, and they will also have their freedom. Isn't that good?"
Fatty smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. He knew that Zhao Hai was comforting him. Although Fatty hadn't been out of the Imperial Palace before, he also knew that the situation of those families was similar to that of the Imperial Palace. In order to compete for property, there were a lot of disputes.
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty's appearance and said, "You, don't think too much about it. Do you think that ordinary people's families would be harmonious? Not necessarily, I'm afraid that they would fight even more fiercely. Why? Because they don't have much property. Every bit of property can change their lives. Therefore, they would fight for it. Fatty, this time, you should think of it as relaxing. I think it's better for you to go back. No matter what, that place is your home. "
Fatty looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Why are you advising me? Didn't you support me in the past? "
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what, familial love isn't so easy to erase. You might think that everything is good outside, that everything is free, but have you ever thought about your Imperial Father? Have you ever thought about your mother? Can you really let go of them and not go back to see them for the rest of your life? "
Fatty turned silent, Zhao Hai's words were very straightforward. This made Fatty seriously think about Zhao Hai's words. Before, he really wanted to stay outside and not go back. But now, he was at a loss.
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. You can never escape fate. You are a Prince, you want to live an ordinary life. Even if you do, your family wouldn't allow it. You said that your family would send people to protect you. Then your whereabouts would always be monitored by your family. Maybe they have bad intentions in monitoring you. But Fatty, how do you know that your father doesn't know about this matter?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Fatty couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Old Zhao, what do you mean? Do you want to say that my father knew that my brother wanted to deal with me, but he still allowed them to do so? Why is that? Does he not want me to be the King? "
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty's expression. He knew that Fatty had misunderstood, so he said, "How do you know that this isn't your Imperial Father's test for you? Think about it, if you can really escape the pursuit of your brothers and return safely to the Imperial Palace and complete this trial, then your Imperial Father will think highly of you. Just as you said, you were too low-key in the Imperial Palace, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, as if you were useless. But your strength can't lie. You didn't cultivate much and yet you were able to reach your current strength. This has already let your Imperial Father see another side of you. A King sometimes doesn't have to be very strong. Being able to endure and know how to endure is also very important. To be honest, your performance wasn't bad. If you perform better in this trial, then perhaps your Imperial Father will think more highly of you. So, Fatty, you don't need to think about those useless things, just let nature take its course. "
Fatty didn't speak, he drank another mouthful of wine and said, "You're right, let nature take its course!"
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty, then he smiled faintly and said, "Good, it's good that you can think this way. You and I are different. I don't plan to get married, nor do I plan to return to the Arctic Continent. This is because that's not where my roots are. My life there is the same. To be honest, I don't like the environment of the Arctic Continent. But you are different, your roots are there, so you should go back. But before that, there are some small problems that need to be solved, such as this!" After he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand. Suddenly, a cry was heard from the woods. Then, with a whoosh, a humanoid figure flew out of the woods.
Fatty was about to get up when he saw that Zhao Hai didn't move. With his understanding of Zhao Hai, he was very clear that Zhao Hai wasn't in danger. Because of this, Fatty also didn't move.
Bang! The person who flew out of the forest fell directly to the empty ground. That person screamed from the fall. Only then did Fatty realize that the person's body was tightly bound by the vines. There was no way for him to break free.
Zhao Hai looked at the person. This person was an adventurer around 30 years old. He was dressed like an adventurer and looked very ordinary. Now, he was screaming as he fell. One of his legs was clearly broken.
Fatty looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Did this guy want to take advantage of you?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Take advantage of you? It's not that simple. This isn't as simple as taking advantage of you. " After he said that, Zhao Hai moved his hand. A thorn appeared on the ground and stabbed the person to death.
Fatty didn't think that Zhao Hai would make a move. He couldn't help but stare. However, he immediately sobered up and looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and waved his hand. The vines immediately released the person. Then Zhao Hai went to the person's side and took something out of the person's chest.
This was a small metal ball. It didn't look very big, only about the size of a child's fist. The outside wasn't very eye-catching, it was a little uneven. There was nothing to look at.
Zhao Hai was very careful. He took out the small ball and looked at it. Then he sighed and turned to Fatty and said, "Fatty, have you heard of spirit thunder?"
"Spirit thunder?" Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Fatty couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed as he said, "You mean, this thing is a spirit thunder?" While speaking, Fatty looked at the thing in Zhao Hai's hand with surprise and fear.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, this is a spirit thunder. This guy wanted to use this spirit thunder. If we don't kill him, it would be troublesome."
Fatty went to Zhao Hai's side and took the ball. Then he sighed and said, "Is it Ghost Face's people?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It should be. If it wasn't Ghost Face's people, they wouldn't have such determination. After being caught, they immediately wanted to use spirit thunder. You should know that using spirit thunder in this situation is equivalent to perishing together with the enemy. But he still wanted to use it. This is enough to see his determination."
Fatty said in a deep voice, "I've only heard of Spiritual Thunder before. It's said that this thing can only be made by Master Level experts. Master Level experts can store the power of their two full-strength attacks into two arrays, then put these two arrays into a metal bead. In the middle of these two arrays, they can arrange another array. As long as someone stimulates the array in the middle with their spiritual force, the two arrays in the metal bead will collide and explode. The power of this explosion is equivalent to two full-strength attacks of a Master Level expert. It's very powerful, and this thing is very precious. I've never seen it before, but I didn't expect to see it today."
