Monty was so envious!

The second time, and the third time, he gritted his teeth and tried for half an hour.

Finally, I was able to stand on one foot staggeringly for 20 seconds.

An hour and a half had passed since the morning exercise.

……

The big bald man fell limply to the ground, and the little red-faced boy nodded.

"Okay, kid, your performance is barely enough for a newcomer!" The bald man's voice was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, as if everything he did was ordinary. "But I didn't complain a word from the beginning to the end, so I'm a little man!"

"Gulu Gulu..." Monty's eyes were sour, but he clutched his growling stomach embarrassingly.

"Today's exercise is over, are you hungry?"

Carl led him into the room.

There was a burst of meaty aroma.

Monty swallowed, and stood stiffly in place, like a stunted sapling struck by lightning!

He couldn't believe his eyes!

A table of sumptuous food that has already been prepared is in front of you: potato stew, baked bread, fresh crabs and lobsters caught from the estuary of Nuocheng...

A strange fat cook was sitting on the stool at the door, her smile was as warm as looking at her own nephew.

The meal of broth last night was already a delicacy for him, and now this meal is simply the gift of eternal fire!

No...he no longer believes in the Eternal Fire, this meal is a gift from Gawain House!

"Us, can we have breakfast?" he asked tremblingly.

Most families in Nuocheng usually only eat two meals a day, a main meal at noon and a small meal in the evening.

This is a customary rule, and of course it is also to save the cost of living.

"Demon hunters don't have so many rules. They eat openly when they are hungry. How can they endure a lot of training without supplementing enough nutrition?" Carl wiped the sweat from his forehead, and skillfully filled a large bowl with basil leaves and pepper, Broth of turnips, radishes, potatoes.

With a piece of bread dipped in rich soup, he handed it to Monty with a smile.

"You're welcome... The teacher said that we are young and our bodies need to develop, so we must not go hungry!"

Monty took the big bowl and didn't gobble it up like yesterday. He asked in a muttered voice, "Why are you being so nice to me? I don't have anything, I'm still an idiot, I don't understand anything, and beggars despise me even when I'm begging on the street. .”

Even the orphanage managed by Eternal Flame on Temple Island in Nuo City provides far less food and accommodation than the unremarkable Gawain's House in the woods in the outskirts!

The witcher brought him back from the brink of death.

Then treat him warmly like a loved one.

What is the purpose?

"Monty, don't you understand? After joining the Gawain House, we are a family..." Carl repeated what the teacher taught, "A family should love each other and help each other."

family?

Monty had a small mouth, revealing a mouthful of deciduous teeth with an astonishingly large gap, and his blue eyes gleamed with tears, and fell into a daze.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't heard the word since his parents died.

"Don't say nasty words." Carl imitated the teacher's instructions to watch his words and expressions, and took a sip of hot soup. "What do you think, are you tired from the training of the witcher? Can you still hold on?"

"It's much easier than begging for food in the city before." Monty sniffed, shook his head, swallowed the bread, and blocked the sourness in his throat.

"The future training will be more difficult and more difficult!"

"No matter how hard and tiring you are, it's better than being a vagrant or a beggar!"

"Remember what you said today, don't let me look down on you."

……

After breakfast, the warm morning sun streaked across the blue sky.

The teacher in charge of the morning training was nowhere to be found, and another big man with a lightning scar on the right side of his face and short brown hair began to instruct him on the second course.

"Carl, little Monty, when you join the Gawain House, you must abide by a few rules. If there are no rules, the whole world will be messed up!"

"Although you two came earlier, you can't bully the children who join later, understand? Answer me loudly!"

"understand!"

"Secondly, follow the teacher's arrangement and don't make trouble for no reason!"

……

Monty and Carl sat in a boxy classroom, meticulously listening to Escal's calm and powerful lecture.

From time to time, he used a charcoal pen to carve a few crooked characters on the yellowed wooden board in front of him.

Born in a family of merchants, Monty had received a certain amount of enlightenment education and had a little foundation in writing. He recognized that the teacher taught him the northern lingua franca.

But compared to the private school teacher that my father hired at a high tuition fee, this hideous teacher's lectures are more exciting.

Escal's explanations are detailed and vivid, and every insignificant letter or word can lead to concise and interesting examples...Monty was fascinated unconsciously.

……

In the afternoon, another class of survival in the wild was changed, and the teacher became the man with the skin of a burn patient and scarlet pupils.

When Monty saw him for the first time, he was terribly frightened and kept his head down, not daring to make eye contact with him.

I was afraid that he would open his bloody mouth towards him and pounce on him like the legendary water ghost.

Kaiyan noticed the strange behavior of the boy, and didn't take it seriously at all, and spoke slowly in a gentle and hoarse voice.

It has to be said that his storytelling is also a must.

Monty gradually forgot about his appearance.

"The Gawain House was built in the woods in the wilderness, and it is possible to encounter various wild animals. There are a few that you need to pay special attention to..."

"Suppose the two of you strayed into an alder forest while playing hide-and-seek and bumped into a hungry wild boar, a pack of wolves growling at you with foul-smelling slobber, what would you do?"

"Run!" Monty replied without thinking, he was completely caught up in the teacher's story, "Call for help while running!"

Keyan shook his head, his scarlet eyes revealed deep pity, which cast a haze over Monty's heart, and he suddenly held his breath nervously.

"Sorry, you're dead."

"Now pinch your arms and legs, are they thin or short?"

"You can't run as fast as a little rabbit. Wherever you go to escape, you will definitely be caught up by wild animals within 100 meters, and you will be bitten to death."

"Tell me, Carl, what should I do?"

"Find a tree and climb up." Carl raised his chin and said confidently, "Then shout loudly, waiting for you to come to the rescue!"

"You've got a bit of brains, boy, you've spent so long climbing the plum blossom pile." Kaiyan nodded, "But it's winter now, and the beasts are not as active as in summer, as long as you two little devils are obedient and don't sneak away Go hide and seek in the woods, that can't happen!"

……

Kaiyan placed a flower with oval leaves and orange-yellow petals in front of the two of them.

"guess what is this?"

"Chrysanthemum?" Monty moved his nose, there was a light scent, a kind of spice that was once run by the family was also this kind of orange-yellow finely crushed petals.

"Sunflowers?" Carl said with an innocent smile.

"Boom!" Kayan patted his little head, "It's winter, the sunflowers are so bright and lush, didn't you memorize the herbal medicine that the cat vulture taught you?"

Karl begged pitifully, "No, please, Uncle Keyan, don't tell the teacher!"

"Look at your performance in the future. Monty is right on the point..."

The boy was excited, and waved his skinny fists behind him.

"This is calendula, it belongs to the Compositae family, a gift from nature." Keyan wrote its name on the whiteboard.

"If you get lost in the wild and really can't find food, you can use this thing to temporarily satisfy your hunger. If your skin is scratched by a branch, crush it, take part of it, and apply part of the wound to reduce inflammation."

"Now, open your mouth and taste! Remember this taste."

……

The first day of Gawain House was roughly divided into three parts, the witcher apprenticeship training in the morning, cultural class in the morning, and general knowledge class in the afternoon.

It can not only exercise, but also learn knowledge, and enjoy rich food.

There was a tinge of unreality in young Monty's delight.

All this is like a dream!

Is this kind of paradise really something an orphan like him who has no father or mother can enjoy?

……

As the sun sinks into the horizon, twilight falls.

The eight teachers whispered around the bonfire, discussing tomorrow's arrangements.

The youngest one, led an owl with extremely human-like eyes into the dark woods alone.

After practicing for an extra hour, Carl returned to the bedroom and lay down on the Chase bunk next to Monty.

Rambling about his ideals.

Demon hunters have great powers and wonderful lives.

Always smile brightly.

These ignorant words planted a seed in Monty's young heart.

"Becoming a witcher, will I be as carefree as Carl in the future?"

That night, Monty had a strange dream. In the dream, a big man with gray-green pupils stood in front of Carl, drawing with five fingers and making a strange gesture.

What are you whispering in your mouth?

And a big man with white hair made the same movement towards him.

As if he had returned to his mother's amniotic fluid, he sat cross-legged unconsciously.

Scattered firefly-like light spots lit up in the dark sky, mischievously inseparable.

Played with him all night.

Chapter 7 Children

The next day, the teacher presiding over the morning training was replaced by another foul-mouthed, short-tempered man with a mountain-shaped hairline.

The newcomer Monty still performed poorly in training, so he was sarcastically ridiculed by Lambert. For an entire hour and a half, his vicious mouth never stopped for more than five seconds from beginning to end.

The strong little boy almost cried.

But another great event happened after breakfast.

Two other children joined the Gawain House.

A boy was tall and thin, wearing a torn black padded jacket with holes everywhere.

Cloth shoes with exposed big toes.

The hair and eyes are also black.

Tension and curiosity surged across the freckled cheeks.

The girl next to her was as dirty as a little tabby cat, with delicate facial features visible on her face, her blonde hair in a shawl was messed up like withered straw.

The small body is obviously stunted.

At this moment, her almost transparent white fingers were pulling the hem of a demon hunter's clothes uneasily.

The one with the dark gold pupils.

Monty had to admit that this teacher named Roy was the most handsome and charming, and he would also get close to him.

"What's your name? How old are you?" Carl showed his white teeth, and greeted the two new friends generously.

And Monty only dared to hide behind and watch.
