Too easy to deceive

Natasha looked down from the top of the horse with contempt.

"You are going to need more than just you to rob me."

The thin man frowned, feeling displeased.

"Can't you tell what kind of situation you are in? Tsk, tsk, I guess it is true what they say about you being dumb."

"That aside, how dare you condescendingly look down on me from above!"

With those words, he jumped up, intending to slap Natasha off the horse.

Seeing this scene, Natasha was not fazed.

She felt some kind of energy being emitted from the palm, but she didn't really take it seriously.

In this world, knights can condense a type of energy that can be used to enhance their attacks.

For normal people, this kind of energy is very powerful, but to Natasha who was had elemental mana running through her body, it was nothing special.

The upper limit for the path of knights is very low and their destructive power could only be considered as weak.

Although she had not yet become an apprentice mage, her fighting power was beyond doubt.

Even if she stood still and allowed the opponent to slash at her with a sword, Natasha was confident that she would remain unscathed.

Facing the palm of the man, Natasha only gave him two words: "Piss off!"

After which, she off handedly punched out.

Bang!——

The punch collided with the palm, and the man's ferocious expression changed wildly.

The powerful power of the palm shattered the man's arm as though it were a twig,

Even after breaking the man's arm, the power of the palm was not dissipated, it went on hit the man's chest in one swift motion.

Bang!——

The thin man flew out and tumbled a few times in the air, his ribs were shattered, his internal organs smashed, and he died instantly.

Seeing this scene, Natasha was dumbfounded.

She was only intending to teach the man a small lesson, but he actually died so simply!

"Too weak!"

Natasha even had doubts about her earlier evaluation of him being a top notch knight.

"Or is it just that I am too strong?"

"If I become an apprentice mage, won't I become an invincible existence in this country?"

"Even the emperor wouldn't be able to do anything about me!"   

At this moment, Natasha's heart was full of shock.

"I must become an apprentice mage within a year, truly become my teacher's student, and get started on the path of becoming a mage!"

After collecting her thoughts, Natasha looked around, making sure that no one saw her, and took out a shovel.

"It's a good thing that I always bring you with me."

After filling up the pit, Natasha looked around once again to make sure that no one was around.

"I can't leak any traces…"

"I can't ride this horse, it can be easily tracked."

Natasha thought for a moment and got an idea.

She immediately leaned over and picked up the horse.

Horse: ???

The horse was too tall for her, and it kept kicking around, so she put it down, tied it's legs together, and picked it up in a different way.

In the woods, a weird scene could be seen, a young girl was carrying a horse while running around, taking detours, and erasing the traces of her steps as she went along the way.

It wasn't until she passed through the Lefifi forest that she put her horse down, mounted it again, and rushed to the small mountain village.

…

Natasha finally came back and brought a large package of medicinal materials with her.

What made Matthew even more happy was the huge lion fur.

Looking at the beautiful color, Matthew was almost certain that this was the the lion from that day!

The threat of the Lefifi evil forest was finally eliminated, and he could be regarded as having avenged the tragic deaths of those villagers.

"Teacher, I killed the red eyed lion in the Forest without making any communication."

Natasha reported respectfully.

"Good! You have done a very good job!"

Matthew was very happy in his heart so he was not stingy with his praise for Natasha.

'Teacher is finally satisfied with my performance.'

'The teacher must also thinks that my bone refining speed is good, that is why he is praising me so much!'

Natasha who was praised also felt very happy.

"It is all because of your good teachings!"

Matthew was holding the fur in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

'This thing must be worth a lot of money! If I sell it, I won't just live well, I will live a lavish life in another country!'

'This silly apprentice is still dependable at times.'

Matthew wiped the saliva threatening to spill from the corner of his mouth, composed himself and offhandedly encouraged:

"Practice hard, and you will definitely achieve something."

"Yes teacher, I won't let you down!"

Natasha responded with some excitement.

Seeing her excited look, Matthew sighed in his heart, this silly girl is too easy to deceive, a little encouragement and she will be good for a long time.

"Very good, I believe in you!"

Matthew nodded, and then said:

"The weeds in the vegetable garden have grown again. You should clear them soon."

Matthew was very happy that he could finally go back to his leisurely life again.

"Ah?"

Natasha was stunned, she had just come back, why did she need to remove the weeds?

Feeling that he might have been too hasty in his approach, Matthew followed up with a few words while maintaining a serious look on his face:

"I can see that you are very restless, remove weeds, and calm your mind, this will be very conducive to your practice!"

"Yes teacher, I understand!"

Natasha suddenly felt enlightened after hearing this.

At the same time, she was a little ashamed:

'The teacher often teaches me to be calm and composed, and to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.'

'Unfortunately after coming back from my trip, I have a lot more impetuousness and arrogance.'

This is really not the case!

'The teacher as as awesome as usual, he could tell at a glance that I am in a restless mood.'

'He must have asked me to weed and calm down, so that I can refine my bones more efficiently!'

Matthew sighed once again.

'This silly girl is too easy to deceive!'

…

Half a month later.

As usual, Natasha started practicing before the sun came out.

At this moment, she had the clear understanding about all the subtle changes that occurred to her bones, every change in her body, and the movement of every strand of mana.

All changes were within her mind, so the efficiency of bone refining greatly improved once again.

"I have finally refined my golden bones eight times, and all the bones in my body have turned golden!"

"There is only one more refinement left before I have completed this level!"

After half a month of hard work, Natasha was not far away from the ninth refinement.

Natasha had a hunch that she could complete the level in a day or two.

"I am almost on par with those supreme geniuses that the teacher talked about."

"It won't be a big problem for me to become an apprentice mage within a year."

"As for the diamond bones, the teacher said that it is not something that talent and persistence can achieve, so I can't be too ambitious or expect too much."

"The golden bones are already extraordinary, but as for the diamond bones, that is too difficult."

"If I are too ambitious and waste my time trying to refine diamond bones, I may not be able to become an apprentice mage within a year."

"Now that I am on par with supreme geniuses, what else should I be dissatisfied about?"

Therefore, Natasha was preparing herself to refine her organs after she was finished with this level.

So, while Natasha was refining her bones, she began to recall the method of refining internal organs taught by Matthew, and carefully tried to understand the profound meaning and mystery, behind it.

With the foundation of skin and bone refining, it was not difficult to refining the internal organs.

There wss already a direction for refining the internal organs, but to refine the internal organs efficiently, one needs to understand the mystery of the method of refining the internal organs in detail.
