Lord of Ice in Douluo Continent

In the morning, I exercised with Tadun as usual. In the afternoon, I wore an iron vest and went to the woods alone to learn boxing and kicking skills. The days passed like this day by day until noon five days later.

After the morning exercise, I bid farewell to Ta Dun again at the village chief's house. The village chief's home is located at the west end of the village, and his own home is at the east end of the village. When he ran home, he found that there were many people gathered in front of the house. He couldn't help but feel nervous and quickened his pace.

"Okay, let's all go back and do our own thing!" The familiar voice was his father Renard, but his voice was a little hoarse.

He pushed through the crowded crowd and squeezed into his yard. The first thing that caught the eye was the familiar face. His father, Renard, was pale. He was holding a cane in his hand. He was missing a right leg from his lower body. There was still some blood seeping from the white bandage. His mother, Via, was supporting him. His eyes were red.

"Dad!" Gu Nianbei ran directly to his father Renard, looking at his bloody wound, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

"Alas~" The enthusiastic villagers did not stay any longer, expressed a few condolences, gave some items, and left.

"Dad, what's going on?" Gu Nianbei asked anxiously. He was fine when he left a few days ago. Why did he suddenly suffer such a serious injury today? Although I have occasionally been injured before, I have never been injured so seriously.

"Let's talk inside the house." When Renard saw his son, his usual carefree look was gone, and only loneliness remained on his face.

Gu Nianbei nodded and followed into the house with somewhat heavy legs.

"Well, I hunted the soul beast the day before yesterday. Everything went smoothly and the soul rings were absorbed, but..." At this point, a hint of fear appeared on his father's face.

"It's all your fault. I told you not to be too pushy, but you still have to go..." Mother Weiya interrupted her father, her tone mixed with complaints, and she started talking non-stop. Neither father nor son interrupted her. , Weiya is an ordinary person, and she doesn’t understand much of the cruelty of the soul master world. Both father and son understand her character well, and they may have some complaints, but most of them feel distressed.

This is her way of venting, and she will feel uncomfortable if she keeps it in her heart.

By the time Weiya finished speaking, her face was already covered with tears.

"Okay, okay, I'm living a good life!" My father wiped away my mother's tears with some distress, then changed the subject and continued.

"That's fine. I can't be a mercenary anymore. I'll stay at home with you two from now on." Although his father forced a smile on his face, he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes.

When a person reaches middle age, although he no longer has the energy he had when he was young, he loses a leg and becomes half a useless person. No one will feel comfortable if he loses his leg.

Mother Weiya just nodded lightly and said nothing more.

"You go cook first. I lost so much blood before, so I need to replenish my nutrition." The father took out a small cloth bag from his arms. It was still the familiar cloth bag, and it was bulging with gold soul coins. , only this time, looking at the golden wealth within reach, my heart did not feel the joy of the previous times, but instead felt a little more guilty, and my heart seemed to be weighed down by a stone.

My father seemed to notice my expression and shook his head slightly without saying anything.

Passing the heavy cloth bag to her mother, her mother Weiya took the bag and put it back in the room, then went to make lunch.

"Dad, what's going on?" Gu Nianbei asked.

Ever since he could talk at the age of three, Gu Nianbei has been reading some books about soul masters and soul beasts. Renard was naturally very happy and bought his son many books that could only be learned in the soul master junior college, so he knew My son understands some things about the world of soul masters.

"Well, the day before yesterday our mercenary team took our employer to hunt soul beasts. The employer wants to be promoted to a great soul master. His target is a six-hundred-year-old colorful cat. Counting me, there are four great soul masters in the team. There is a soul leader."

"Such a lineup is more than enough to deal with a colorful cat. In the end, it took us half a day to find it, and it was an easy hunting success. Just when the employer finished absorbing the spirit ring and we were returning, a terrifying spirit beast appeared. "Having said this, Renard's face turned heavy.

"It is a spirit beast that we have never seen before. It is sky blue with purple stripes all over its body. Its overall appearance is very similar to that of a tiger, except that there is an ice crystal growing at the end of its tail. When it appears, even the surrounding temperature changes. It dropped a lot, spitting out ice, and went very fast.”

"It is over a thousand years old, but its strength is no less than that of some five-thousand-year-old soul beasts."

"Before we could see clearly, it had already pounced on us and killed the teammate next to me with just one blow. I saw with my own eyes that its terrifying claws easily pierced the chest of my teammate. .”

"The captain is a level 38 soul master. He barely blocked the attack of the soul beast. We took the opportunity to protect our employer and escape. Finally, when we were about to run out of the forest, we were caught up by the soul beast."

"It can deal with us, great soul masters of over 20 levels, without any effort. We can only call for help and flee with our employer at the same time."

"In the end, only one of my teammates and I escaped with my employer. I was hit by the ice spit out by the soul beast, and my right leg turned directly into broken ice. The other teammate was also seriously injured and lost both arms. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that we were very close to the exit of the forest and the guards from Wuhun Palace had already rushed over. The soul beast fled back into the forest after seeing the guards. I'm afraid we would all have to tell where it was."

"Fortunately, the employer who survived was quite conscientious. He spent gold soul coins to hire a healing soul sect to bring us back from hell, and then gave us double the reward."

"Although I can no longer be a mercenary in the future, the double reward this time is nearly one hundred gold soul coins, plus what I saved before, it will be enough for you to use until you graduate from the junior college." Renard said. A kind smile appeared on his face at this point. Although he almost lost his life this time, he also made a lot of wealth, which can support his son's expenses for the next few years after he becomes a soul master. For those who have not yet awakened, they are sure that their son can become a soul master. , Renard is still very confident in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Dad, it's all because of me that you..."

Gu Nianbei felt very guilty. This reminded him of his father in his previous life. At that time, his father worked hard just for himself, otherwise he might not have been in a car accident.

"Stop! What did you say? I just lost an arm for my son's future. So what if I lose my life? I think it's worth it!" Renard's face darkened and he said in a serious tone.

"Besides, this time it's a safe bet for wealth. The money I earn from this one vote can catch up with my usual income for half a year. I can retire early and leisurely." Maybe because he felt that he was a little too harsh just now, Renard looked soft. Some.

Gu Nianbei didn't act pretentious anymore. For his father, he was willing to sacrifice everything for his son. What he should do should not be to feel guilty and regret here, but should work harder and not let down everything his father has done for him. . Become a powerful soul master and make your father proud of yourself.

"I know, Dad! I will work hard to become a powerful soul master!" Gu Nianbei looked at his father firmly, with sincerity in his eyes.

"Haha, of course I believe you!" Renard smiled from the bottom of his heart and touched Gu Nianbei's little head, feeling very pleased.

……

The news that his father Renard was injured soon spread throughout the Emperor Soul Village. At noon, only the villagers who saw his father injured came. In the afternoon, many villagers came one after another. My father's image in the village is still very good, and he often Help some poor villagers.

The villagers all brought items to express their condolences, some brought big roosters, some brought herbs, and some brought little piglets...

Naturally, the family greeted the villagers' concern and enthusiasm with smiles. This made Gu Nianbei sigh that the people in this world are really simple and kind.

Towards evening, the village elder Tate walked into the yard with a tower shield.

"Hey, Uncle Tate is here too, please sit down!" The father who was sitting on the recliner saw the arrival and quickly stood up to greet him.

Tadun's parents died early. Old Tate was not a soul master, so the family was not wealthy. His father, Renard, was once a good friend of Tadun's father, so the relationship between the family and the village chief was naturally good.

"Hey, no need, Nal, sit down quickly, you are still injured." Old Tate took two steps forward and supported his father Renal.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. My wound is almost healed." Renard sat down again and gave Old Tate a reassuring smile.

"Well, I heard what the villagers said, so I came to see you at night. My uncle doesn't have anything good at home, so he brought two bottles of wine. If you don't mind, just accept it." As he said that, the tower shield behind him He put two bottles of wine on the table.

"Uncle Nar!" Tower Shield greeted politely, and his father Renard nodded.

On the table are two bottles of very ordinary wine, the kind that villagers usually drink.

"How could it be? Come sit down with Uncle Tate." Renard motioned for Old Tate to sit on the chair beside him, then turned to the kitchen and said.

"Honey, make two more dishes, and Old Uncle Tate and I will have a nice drink tonight!"

"Okay!" My mother, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, responded.

"Xiao Bei, go play with Xiao Dun. I'll call you after dinner!" Renard said to Gu Nianbei.

Gu Nianbei responded and brought the tower shield to the yard.
