The expedition team arrived at their final destination before dusk — the underground ruins in the Endless Sea of Trees.
Rob could see the logo of the Mercenary Guild from afar. The scale of this campsite was undoubtedly several times larger than the supply campsite that they had rested at. According to a receptionist at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild, this place could accommodate at least 60 expedition teams at the same time. The entire campsite could be divided into four areas according to different functions: the resting area, the dining area, the exchange area, and the trading area. It was said that there would be an entertainment area in the future.
Once most mercenaries started working, their cravings for wine, women, and gambling would increase exponentially after wandering in the dark underground for half a month. It would be overestimating their self-control to expect them to hold back until Ryan solved the problem. In fact, even if you threw them a sow, they would not wait to take off their pants.
Luo Luo could not help expressing her disdain when she saw the people gathered in the corner of the resting area and playing dice. She even lectured the little attendant beside her, "Look at these guys who lead a befuddled life. They don't have any plans for their lives at all, and they don't have any ideas about their future. Their minds are only filled with instant gratification. The money they earn by risking their lives will be spent before it even warms up. They will forever be poor. You must not learn from them in the future."
However, the quasi magus, Your Honor, had a different view. "A high-risk profession like a mercenary should live in the present. The casualty rate of exploring underground cities is so high that three out of ten people will not return. Normal people will not save money. Otherwise, after living frugally for so long, one day you will die. Wouldn't the money in your pocket be taken advantage of by others?"
"Oh, as expected of Mr. Tobias's student. What you said makes sense. However, don't forget that we are mercenaries only temporarily. After this mission, I will go to Saint Roland Brotherhood Academy of Magic to study and become a magician. You can also continue to be a scholar. Ryan is currently in a period of rapid expansion. Baron Oliver is thirsty for talent. If you go to him, he will definitely provide you with a good job opportunity."
"Oh, we'll talk about it when the time comes." The quasi magus said vaguely, temporarily putting the matter behind him.
Lolo was right. The town was indeed different from before. It was developing like a rocket, and with the support of a valuable underground city, the future development was even more shocking. If someone was really like the identity he had fabricated, Ryan could be considered a good choice in order to fulfill his ambitions and ideals.
However, for Rob who only wanted to keep a low profile and live a stable life, this place was not safe. While he was happy for his hometown's prosperity, it would undoubtedly bring him a lot of trouble to hide his identity. Considering the increasingly complicated situation in the town, the future Magus Your Honor had long thought of leaving. However, he had not decided where he would go. It was not too late to make a decision after this mission.
After dinner, Luo Bu wanted to sneak away while he was washing the dishes to avoid the upcoming training. Unfortunately, after half an hour of hide-and-seek, he was still pinned to the ground by the rookie Hero.
"Today, we will learn how to dodge and counterattack after blocking." Ignoring the pleading expression on the Magus' face, Lolo did not even give him a chance to catch his breath after a long day's journey.
"Brother … Please let me go, I beg you …" Rob could not take it anymore. When the future Magus Your Honor was caught, he almost cried.
Although he had previously relied on his self-created walking meditation technique to alleviate some of his mental fatigue, after walking for so long without rest and sleep, even professionals like Hanson and Edward would be exhausted, let alone someone as small as him.
He could tell that Lolo was also trying her best to hold on. Compared to the other members of the team, the swordswoman was carrying a lot of supplies on her back. This job should have been done by her follower, but a certain someone had the will but not the strength. In the end, the swordswoman had to do it herself. Moreover, the incident with the Two-headed Demon Wolf had also happened. As the protagonist, she was undoubtedly under more pressure.
Logically speaking, Luo Luo should be the most exhausted out of all of them. The youth could not figure out what had gotten into her. Why did she have to continue with that damned swordsman grooming plan instead of resting properly? Hurting each other like this would only result in both sides suffering. Why did she have to go through all this trouble?
"The most important thing in training is perseverance. Once you slack off once, you will have more excuses in the future. This is what my teacher told me," the girl said seriously.
"Ha, I think your teacher is most likely a masochist." The youth, who had always relied on his talent to make a living, scoffed at this kind of ascetic style. It was not that he was against hard work, but hard work should be done in a certain way. For example, in his current state, even if he forced himself to train, the results would not be too good. He might as well give himself a break, rest for the night, and continue the next morning.
"Don't you dare speak ill of my teacher." The rookie, The Brave, paused for a moment and said, "You don't understand. My teacher said that the more tired you are, the more effective you will be in training. When you are tired, you can better train your muscle memory. Most of the time, danger happens in an instant, and you have no time to think about how to deal with it. Your brain may not even realize what is happening. At such times, you can only rely on your own instincts. In other words, your muscle memory."
"Critical Boundary Training Method?" Luo Bu looked surprised. From Luo Luo's description, her teacher should have been a proponent of the Critical Boundary Training Method. This was a very ancient training method. Of course, it did not mean that the more ancient something was, the more powerful it was. In reality, only those that could withstand the test of time and truly be passed down were suitable for the vast majority of people.
However, it was undeniable that the critical training method still had its advantages compared to the ordinary training method. It was said that the warriors trained with this method all had the fighting instinct of a beast, and it was easier for them to perform better in critical moments. In fact, there were similar training schools among the mages. The dean's graduation thesis was related to this, and the title was "Some Conjectures on Mages Training under the State of Mana Overdraft for a Long Time".
Luo Bu had read the article in detail, even going so far as to personally verify some of its contents and use the conclusions he obtained to further improve his combat style. Alright, I digressed a bit. Back to the Critical Boundary Training Method. In the current Dawn Continent, there were few people who knew about this ancient training method, and all of them were masters.
It seemed like Luo Luo's teacher wasn't some nobody ~
