The next day's training went on as usual. Of course, the battle between Dillon and Rudy over the Shadowmouse in the original novel still happened as usual. Because he had expected this, Linley hadn't been struck in the head by a falling rock like in the original novel.
This battle between Sanctuary-realm experts came and went quickly. After the two of them left, this matter became a topic of conversation among the residents of Wushan township.
But Linley knew very well that the arrival of these two meant that his companion, Bebe, who would accompany him in his training in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts and his adventures in the Infernal Realm, had arrived in his backyard. But Linley wasn't in a hurry to subdue Bebe. In any case, Bebe was his, and he couldn't run away. Right now, his top priority was to follow Grandpa Doehring and train his magic and body. In the original novel, Linley had only discovered Bebe a month before he had gone to Fenlai City to take the magus talent test, and had lured him into submission.
From the second day onwards, Linley began to train bitterly.
Because he couldn't tell his father about Doehring Cowart's existence, Linley had to continue his warrior training in the morning and evening. In the morning, he still had to go to his father to study politics, religion, etiquette, the art of war, geography, the arts…and many other aspects.
Only in the afternoons, when he was free, would Linley run to the northeast of the small town, to the 'Dark Mountains', and hide in a quiet place. Under Doehring Cowart's guidance, he would absorb the knowledge of magic, working hard to learn magic, and at the same time meditating to refine mageforce.
In addition, every night after dinner, Linley would spend a large amount of time meditating.
Every day, Linley would only sleep for six hours. The rest of the time would be spent on warrior training, knowledge learning, magic training, meditation…and so on. Never think that six hours of sleep was enough. In fact, meditating and training one's spiritual power every day was very tiring, much more tiring than ordinary people. Every day, Linley would sleep for six hours, sleeping very deeply.
It was fulfilling, extremely fulfilling.
Time passed day by day, and Linley's improvement was obvious. It could even be considered a metamorphosis!
In the process of hard work, he had the pleasant surprise of absorbing earth element into his body for the first time and refining magic power in his body. There were also cases where the first meditation was too much and consumed too much spiritual energy, almost fainting. There was also the excitement of casting earth magic for the first time, even though the first spell only made a tiny 'Earth Spike' grow on the ground.……
Time and time again…
Linley's perseverance and speed of improvement caused the Saint-level Grand Magus of the Pouant Empire five thousand years ago, Doehring Cowart, to sigh in admiration.
Because of his daily warrior training, Linley's body was becoming more and more robust. Because he had absorbed earth elemental essence to refine mageforce, as well as meditating frequently, Linley's entire aura had become calm and steady. Linley's transformation caused his father, Hogg, and Hillman to be extremely surprised and delighted.
In his previous life, Linley could be described as a weak scholar. Although he wasn't as weak as a chicken, with his willpower and his current small frame, he was still struggling to deal with the amount of training Hillman was giving him. But fortunately, Linley had the desire to go home earlier, and at the same time, he deeply understood that these basic training would be very beneficial to him in the future. Thus, no matter how tiring or difficult it was, he gritted his teeth and persevered. His fighting spirit was even stronger than the Linley in the original book.
After all, the Linley in the original book was only eight years old. Although he had the desire to become stronger, he hadn't been through any training, and his mind wasn't as mature as Linley's.
Spring passed and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, it was already autumn.
There was only a month left before the magic test.
Linley knew that it was time to subdue Bebe.
Today, after cleaning up the rear courtyard, Linley didn't immediately return to the front courtyard. Instead, he laughed to himself,"Little Bei Bei, Boss is here. Be good and wait for me to subdue you.”
As he spoke, he began to search the backyard for Bebe.
"Squeak squeak…"
After searching for a while, Linley indeed found traces of Bebe.
He saw a black rat that was about 20 centimeters long gnawing on a piece of rock. Then, the black rat's figure flashed, and it directly went to a place where there was a green stone more than ten meters away. It also gnawed a few times. The black rat's fur was soft, its eyes were rolling, and its furry tail was extremely cute.
The black rat even stood up on its hind legs and jumped around.
Upon seeing this little rat, Linley knew that it was his future brother, the Goddeater Rat Bebe.
Doehring Cowart flew out from the Coiling Dragon ring, standing next to Linley. He looked at the black rat in surprise."A Shadowmouse. It's actually a magical beast, a 'Shadowmouse'. Judging from its size, it should still be an infant of a' Shadowmouse'.”
"He's not a Shadowmouse. He's the offspring of a Shadowmouse and a Stoneater Rat, the second Godeater Rat of countless planes.”
Linley pursed his lips. But of course, he naturally wouldn't say these words out loud.
Next, after Doehring Cowart had introduced the Shadowmice and Stoneater Rats to Linley, Linley was given another task every day: feeding Bebe and seducing him.
In order to gain Bebe's trust and make Bebe take the initiative to sign a contract of equals with him, Linley began to follow Linley's method as described in the original book. At first, he gave Bebe the wild chickens and rabbits that hadn't been skinned, then gradually gave Bebe the wild chickens and rabbits that had been skinned. Half a month later, he began to roast the wild chickens and rabbits, then put them into Bebe's mouth. And after feeding Linley for this period of time, Bebe gradually began to develop a good impression of Linley.
Squeak squeak…Linley was carrying a freshly roasted pheasant in his hands when he saw a black shadow flying towards him, and its target was the pheasant in his hands.
By the time Linley came to his senses, the pheasant in his hand had already disappeared.
"Linley, judging from its current performance, it won't be long before you subdue it.”Doehring Cowart flew out from the Coiling Dragon ring, stroking his beard as he chuckled.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed since Linley had fed the little Shadowmouse. The little Shadowmouse was now extremely close to Linley, but for some reason, even though they were extremely close, the little Shadowmouse still showed no signs of using the 'Contract of Equality'.
The night enveloped the land, and the entire Wushan township was very quiet.
Within the main hall of the Baruch clan estate. The candlelight was blazing, illuminating the entire hall. Linley's family of three and Housekeeper Hiri were seated at a long table, having dinner together.
"Linley, I heard that recently you've been bringing roasted rabbits to those ancient houses in the backyard?”Halfway through his meal, Hogg put down his knife and fork, then looked at Linley and said.
Linley's heart trembled.
"Looks like I have to confess." Linley mused to himself, then looked at Hogg and nodded."Father, I recently found a cute animal in the backyard. It's very cute, so I often make some food for it.”
"Cute animals?" Little Wharton's eyes immediately lit up.
"Oh."
Hogg nodded." Very few people go to the backyard, so it's possible that there are animals there. Right, I reckon that in a week's time, the recruitment test for magic in the capital, Fenlai City, will begin. Aren't you going to participate?”
" Ah, magic test enrollment?" Only now did Linley suddenly remember.
A stream of energy that only Linley could see flew out from the Coiling Dragon ring, transforming into the white-haired old man, Doehring Cowart. Doehring Cowart laughed at Linley."Linley, the magus test? With my guidance, how can it be worse than the guidance of those academy mages?”
Linley agreed as well, but he wouldn't go along with Doehring Cowart's wishes. He still had to go to the Ernst Institute. After all, that was where Linley and Delia had first met, and where their relationship had been established. Although he might not necessarily end up like Linley in the original novel, marrying Delia, if Delia was truly beautiful and had deep feelings for him, then following the original novel and marrying her wasn't impossible.
In addition, Linley, who had been in this world for half a year now, had never been to Fenlai City. He wanted to see for himself just how prosperous the cities of the world of the [Coiling Dragon] were.
Linley said to Doehring Cowart in his heart,"Grandpa Doehring, although I believe that with your guidance in earth magic and my hard work, I will definitely advance to the Saint-level or even higher, I still have talent in other elements other than the earth element, so I want to go to the magic academy to learn magic from other elements.”
"Linley, I was too inconsiderate. Since this is the case, you should agree to your father's request.”Doehring Cowart returned to the Coiling Dragon ring after speaking.
