Dumb felt wronged and said, "You, you didn't ask me to go out! Didn't you say I have to listen to you? "

Goris turned around and walked into the room. He let out a long breath and opened the window to let in some fresh air to wash away the stench in the room. He felt that he had really been defeated by this dumb kid. He took another deep breath of fresh air and shouted in the direction of the toilet, "Wipe your ass and come out."

After putting on his clothes, Dumb walked out of the toilet. He suddenly felt as if he had changed into a different person. His whole body was indescribably refreshed, as if he had suddenly thrown away a very heavy burden. His whole body felt light, and even his muddled brain became clearer. His whole body was full of energy. "Teacher, what did you just give me?"

Goris said impatiently, "Nine Transformation Marrow Changing Pill."

"Nine Transformation Marrow Changing Pill? What is that? "

"Don't ask too much. Sit down." Goris pointed to the stool beside him and said, "I want to ask you a few questions, and then I'll take you to eat."

As soon as he heard the word "eat", Dumb's eyes suddenly burned with excitement. He sat on the stool obediently and waited for Goris to ask.

"Dumb, do you have another name? Are you from Sunset or Huasheng? "

Dumb shook his head and said, "No, I don't have another name. What are Sunset and Huasheng? "

Goris said, "Sunset and Huasheng are the names of two other empires on the mainland. Looking at your black hair and eyes, you should be a descendant of one of these two empires."

"Oh, I don't know where I'm from either. I think I've heard of Sunset and Huasheng before, but I don't have any impression of them. "

Goris sat on the bed again and looked at Dumb, whose face had become a lot more rosy, and said, "Do you know who your parents are?"

Dumby shook his head blankly and said, "I only remember begging on the streets, begging for food. One day, Uncle Li came and said he would give me food, so I left with him. "

"How old are you this year?"

Dumb thought for a moment and said, "Twelve, oh, no, thirteen years old." He really didn't know how old he was. The children around Uncle Li who were about the same height as him were all 12 or 13 years old, so he felt that he should be the same age.

Twelve or thirteen years old. Hmm, that's more appropriate. Goris continued to ask, "Do you know what month you were born in?" After asking, he regretted it. The silly boy in front of him didn't even know how old he was, so how could he know when he was born?

However, to everyone's surprise, Dumb blurted out, "21st day of March, 977 of the Holy Calendar." After saying that, even he himself was stunned.

A cold light flickered in Goris's eyes. "Didn't you say you don't know how old you are? Why did you say it again? "

Dumb was tongue-tied and said, "I, I don't know either. I just suddenly thought of this date, so I said it."

Goris frowned and secretly calculated. It was now the fourth month of the Holy Calendar, so this Dumb in front of him should be 11 years old. However, Dumb's behavior just now made him feel a little strange. He said coldly, "Kid, don't play tricks with me."

Dumb shrank his body and said, "No, I won't!"

"Come here." Goris waved at Dumb.

Dumb reluctantly walked in front of Goris. Goris reached out and grabbed Dumb's shoulder. He whispered a few words, and a warm flow suddenly flowed from Dumb's shoulder into his body. At first, Dumb felt very comfortable, but after a while, the warm flow from Goris became stronger and stronger. Dumb gradually couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to struggle, but found that his body was no longer under his control. The hot flow of air seemed to be melting his internal organs, causing it to flow all over his body. Dumb's bones began to crack, and he couldn't help but scream in pain.

"Ah —, teacher, I can't take it anymore. Please spare me. It hurts, it hurts!"

Goris frowned and raised his hand. A circle of green light wrapped around Dumb's body, completely isolating the sound.

After a long time, when Dumb's body was a little limp, Goris finally let go. He let out a long breath and said to himself, "I didn't expect this dumb kid to have such a good foundation. He's suitable for both magic and martial arts. I didn't waste a Nine Turns Marrow Changing Pill. This is even better. When the time comes …" He suddenly stopped and looked at Dumb cautiously. Shaking his head, Goris said, "Unfortunately, his brain seems to have suffered some serious damage. Even the Nine Turns Marrow Changing Pill can't remove the accumulated energy. But it's okay, it won't affect my experiment."

The heat finally subsided, and Dumb's whole body collapsed to the ground. He didn't know why Goris did this to him, and his tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Goris pulled Dumb's body up from the ground and said coldly, "Don't cry. I was just testing if you have the ability to help me. Do you understand? I wasn't hitting you. Gentle water, gather in my hand, and nourish the living before me. "A blue light was emitted from Goris's hand, and it flowed into Dumb's body like a small stream. This was the most common recovery spell of the Water Element, and Goris rarely used it. In order to not leave a shadow in Dumb's heart, he had no choice but to help him recover his strength.

Dumby felt a cool, water-like flow of air from Goris's hand. The strength that it had lost was recovering bit by bit. The pain caused by the scorching heat had completely disappeared. Dumby couldn't help but believe Goris's words a little.

Goris pushed Dumb onto a stool, and said with his back facing him, "You have to remember, only the strong can live a better life. The weak will only be bullied by others. Tears won't solve the problem."

Dumb felt like he had heard Goris's words somewhere before, and it actually resonated with his mind. He wiped the tears off his face, and said timidly, "Yes, teacher, I understand."

Goris nodded, and said, "Okay, then tell me, what do you like to eat the most? What do you want to eat the most? "

Dumb said honestly, "I like to eat steamed buns, and … and chicken legs. What do you want to eat the most? I-I don't know. "

Goris scolded him in his heart, "What a silly boy, but this is also good, it will be more beneficial for my future actions." Okay, from now on, you will follow me. I promise you will eat your fill every day. If you dare to run away, do you still remember the table today? That will be your end. "

Goris's threat seemed to have no effect on Dumb, and he said blankly, "As long as you can let me eat my fill, why would I run away? But, but? "

"But what?" Goris suddenly turned around.

Dumb looked at Goris's old face, and murmured, "But, if you are going to die, what will I eat?" He clearly remembered that the little girl said that her grandmother died because she was too old, and after her grandmother died, the little girl became a beggar on the streets.

Goris was so angry at Dumb's words that his whole body trembled. He raised his hand a few times, but put it down again. When he thought of his great plan, he decided to bear with it. He said angrily, "Don't worry, even if you die, I won't die. Let's go, I will take you to eat. "

"Okay! Teacher, you are so great. "

"Hmph! How can you know how great I am? "

Two days later, when Goris felt that Dumb's body was much better, he took him out of Ninuo City. The weather that day was surprisingly sunny, and it seemed to indicate that Dumb was going to enter another life.

"Teacher, will I be able to come back in the future?" Dumb asked as he looked at the small town behind him where he had lived for more than ten years.

Goris looked at Dumb and said, "Maybe, if there is a chance in the future. Why? Do you have anything else on your mind? "

Dumb shook his head and said, "No, no." This was the first time he lied to Goris. In fact, he thought that the girl would come back to him in the future. But he did not say it out loud. Although Goris had been nice to him these days and would let him eat his fill at every meal, and he even let him eat a lot of delicious food that he had never dared to think about before, Dumb always felt that compared to Uncle Li, his teacher Goris seemed to be more dangerous.

Goris did not care about Dumb's words and continued to lead him forward.

After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at the seaside port that was not far from Ninuo City. Dumb had been here several times before. He liked the sea and the feeling of the magnificent waves. Looking at the place where the sea met the sky and listening to the sound of the waves hitting the reef, Dumb could not help but be stunned.

"Let's go, we have to catch up with this ship." Goris turned back and said to Dumb, who was facing the sea.

Dumb was stunned and said, "Ship? Teacher, are you saying that we are going to take a ship? " His voice was a little excited. He did not know how many times he had imagined himself to be like those fishermen, sitting on a wooden boat and floating on the sea. That feeling was what Dumb yearned for the most.

"Yes, we are going to Warang Province. It is much faster to take a ship," Goris replied indifferently.

"Great, great, I want to take a ship, I want to take a ship." Dumb jumped up excitedly.

Goris frowned and said, "Be quiet. If you want to take a ship, then hurry up."

The two of them walked to the dock very quickly. When Dumb saw the huge passenger ship that was hundreds of meters long, more than 20 meters wide, and three stories high, his mouth opened wide and he said in a daze, "This, this is the ship we are going to take? It is so big! "Those fishing boats were insignificant compared to the huge ship that was painted white in front of them.

Goris snorted and said, "What's so big about it? I think it is too small. Let's get on the ship. "

After passing through the wide boarding board, Dumb followed Goris onto the big ship called Worshipping God. Goris had bought a two-person cabin on the top floor. Once he got on the ship, Goris felt uncomfortable all over. The reason why he said to Dumb that the ship was too small was mainly because he was seasick. If not for the fact that he wanted to go back early to prepare his plan, he would not have chosen to take a ship.

Dumb kept walking around the cabin excitedly, looking out through the round glass from time to time. After a while, the huge mast was pulled up with a wide sail, and the ship gradually started moving. As there were icebergs in the deep sea, the Worshipping God Passenger Ship initially sailed along the coastline. When it reached a warmer area, the ship would sail into the deep sea and move forward quickly.

"It's moving. It's moving. Teacher, the ship is moving."

Goris pulled Dumb in front of him and stared at him, saying, "Do you remember what I taught you yesterday?"

Dumb blinked and said awkwardly, "I, I forgot." For the past two days, Gorris has been teaching Dumby some knowledge about alchemy warlocks. Unfortunately, Dumby's brain is really slow, he can't even remember a few of the simplest terms.

"Hmph. I knew you forgot again. Forget it, I think you can't remember anything anyway. Sit on the bed with your legs crossed. "

"Okay." Dumb responded and sat down according to Goris's instructions. Goris stood beside him and said in a deep voice, "You can continue to learn the terms when you get back to my place. While you are on the ship, I will let you feel what magic is. The so-called magic is to use your own spiritual power to communicate with the various elements in the world, and use your spiritual power to urge them to do what you want to do. I don't expect you to understand it now. Later, I will inject my own magic into your body. Close your eyes and feel what you see, then tell me. "

Dumb nodded and closed his eyes, saying, "Yes, teacher."

Goris said, "My request is that within three months, you must at least learn the two simplest magics, Fireball and Flame. Otherwise, I won't give you any food to eat. Alright, focus your mind and use your heart to feel the power I will send out. "Saying that, he stretched out his right hand and placed it on Dumb's shoulder, whispering a few spells.

Dumb felt his shoulder heat up. He suddenly remembered the torture in the hotel that day, and his whole body shook.

"Get rid of the distracting thoughts." Goris said in a deep voice.

The heat flowed into his body through his shoulder. It seemed that the heat did not increase, but continued to circulate in his body. Dumb could not help but feel relieved. He did not have any distracting thoughts in his mind. After a while, he actually fell asleep in the heat emitted by Goris.

At first, Goris thought that Dumb was immersed in the ocean of magic elements. But after a long time, there was no movement from Dumb. This method of transferring magic power could only transfer the inherent magic power in one's body into the other's body. It could not summon the magic elements in the air. So, even with a magic level like Goris, he felt that it was strenuous. He slowly retracted his right hand and said, "Tell me, what did you see? Dumb, Dumb. Oh, good, you little brat, you actually fell asleep. You wasted so much of my energy. I'm so angry, I'm so angry. "

A small water ball exploded on Dumb's face. Dumb, who was having a good dream, suddenly woke up. "Ah! It's snowing, it's snowing. "

Goris angrily knocked on Dumb's head and said, "Snowing your head. What did I ask you to do just now? But what did you do? "

Dumb finally saw his situation clearly. He also remembered some of the things that happened before. He lowered his head and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry. Just now, just now, just now it was too comfortable, so I fell asleep."

Goris forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, "Tell me, what did you see just now? Don't say you don't know anything. If you don't know, then there's no food for you today. "

Hearing the word "food", Dumb suddenly became more energetic. He scratched his head and thought, I didn't see anything just now! How should I answer? However, the temptation of food was too great. Dumb thought for a while and decided to tell them about his sweet dream just now. Thinking of this, he looked at Goris who had a serious expression and said, "I, I just felt my whole body heating up, then I became muddle-headed. Later, I saw a lot of children playing with me. Each of them had a small red steamed bun in their hands, as if they wanted to give it to me. I kept taking them, but I couldn't take them all. I also wanted to give them something of mine, but I didn't have anything on me, so I could only give up. Later, you "woke" me up. "

Goris was secretly shocked. How could he not understand that Dumb was talking about his dream? Although Dumb was asleep, what he described was actually related to the fire element. Those children playing with him were completely his imagination, and those small red balls were the fire element of heaven and earth! Why did the fire element float towards him? Unless he was born with a pure fire physique. But he had already checked, and he wasn't! Thinking back, when he was learning fire magic, he could only feel the presence of the fire element in his surroundings.

Dumb looked at Goris anxiously. He didn't know if his lie of using a dream to replace his feelings would allow him to eat.

Goris stretched out his right hand and said, "Repeat after me. The fire element that fills the heaven and earth! Please grant me your warm strength, condense it into a ball, and appear in my hand. " With a puff, a fireball with a diameter of more than ten centimeters appeared in Goris's hand. The surrounding air suddenly became scorching hot.

Although Dumb didn't understand what Goris meant, he still understood the terminology. He imitated Goris and said, "Follow … Ah, I don't need to repeat this sentence. The fire element that fills the heaven and earth! Please grant me your warm strength, condense it into a ball, and appear in my hand. " As soon as he finished the incantation, Dumb suddenly felt something around him rushing towards his palm. With a puff, his hand lit up, and a small fireball with a diameter of only one centimeter appeared on his palm. Dumb was startled, fearing that he would be burned by the fire. The fireball was immediately extinguished with a thought.

Goris stared at Dumb blankly. After a while, he came to his senses. A murderous intent flashed across his eyes. He didn't expect that the silly kid in front of him would have such a great talent for magic. When he first chanted the incantation for the Fireball Magic, his palm only got hot, but his master had already given him a high evaluation. Now, this ordinary-looking, somewhat silly kid could actually release a small fireball. It was simply unbelievable.

Dumb also didn't understand why a small fireball would appear on his hand. He looked at his palm in a daze, and the two of them just stood there in the room in a daze.

After a long time, Goris extinguished the fireball in his hand and said, "Alright, let's call it a day. I'm going to rest for a while. Remember the incantation just now. The fireball you released will float on your hand, so it won't hurt you. When you're free, just sit on the bed and silently think about those little red balls. Got it? "

Dumb nodded, trying hard to recall the so-called incantation just now. He couldn't be bothered to look at the sea anymore. For an eleven-year-old kid like him, the curiosity brought about by the Fireball Magic was far more intense than the sea.

Goris didn't pay attention to him anymore. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. Fortunately, the weather was good today. The sea was calm, and the ship didn't shake too much. His symptoms of seasickness were very mild. He thought that if it was another Magician who saw Dumb's performance just now, he would definitely be happy to accept him as a disciple. His talent was indeed not bad, and he was getting old. Should he consider letting him inherit what he had learned? Goris shook his head hard. No, how could he ruin his plan just because of his talent? As long as the final experiment was carried out, this kid would definitely die. What was the use of learning so many things?

One day later.

Dumb sat on the bed, closing his eyes and playing with those little red buns. Goris suddenly woke him up. "Teacher."

"Yes, try the incantation I taught you yesterday again."

"Oh, the fire element that fills the world! Please bestow, please bestow. Ouch. "Dumb could only remember the first sentence.

Goris retracted his hand that hit Dumb. This kid's memory was really bad. "I'll tell you one last time. If you still can't remember, then don't eat before you get off the ship. The fire element that fills the world! Please bestow your warm energy, condense it into a ball, appear in my hand. "

To Dumb, eating was the best threat. He tried hard to remember every word. "Warm energy … … condense it into a ball … … appear in my hand." He tried hard to remember the parts that he was not familiar with. Sitting on the bed, he kept repeating it over and over again. Such a simple incantation, a normal person would only need to recite it for a short while to remember it. However, Dumb had to recite it for a long time before he could barely guarantee that he would not forget it.

"Teacher, teacher, I, I'll remember it." Dumb woke up Goris who had just fallen asleep.

Today's storm was stronger than yesterday's. Goris wanted to use sleep to offset the nausea brought by the dizziness. It took him a long time to fall asleep, but he was woken up by the noise. He said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Dumb was so scared that he took a step back and stammered, "I, I've memorized the incantation."

Goris snorted and said, "You're the stupidest person I've ever met. You actually took a day and a half to memorize a simple incantation. What's there to brag about? Recite it again."

Dumb's confidence that he had built up with much difficulty was instantly shattered by Goris. He lowered his head, stretched out his right hand, and softly said, "The fire element that fills the world! Please bestow your warm energy, condense it into a ball, appear in my hand. " After the incantation was completed, he once again felt the unknown energy condensing. Moreover, it was stronger than the last time. With a puff, a small fireball with a diameter of three centimeters suddenly appeared in his palm. With the previous experience, Dumb did not panic this time. He carefully looked at the red fireball. His hand felt warm, but not scorching. Dumb held the fireball in front of his face and carefully looked at it. Due to a moment of carelessness, a tuft of hair on his forehead was suddenly burnt. "Ah!" With a scream, Dumb's spirit was suddenly lost. The fireball in his hand was extinguished, and an unpleasant burnt smell immediately filled the cabin. Dumby slapped his hair with all his might, and only then did the tiny flame extinguish. His pitiful black hair, which was neither too long nor too short, suddenly lost a chunk of it.

Looking at Dumb's embarrassed appearance, Goris could not help but smile. "Fire and water are merciless. You're fine in your hand, but it doesn't mean that you're fine in other things. That was a bona fide fireball. What you're doing is setting yourself on fire. Be careful in the future. Open the door and let the smell out. "

Dumby was gasping for air. Although the previous scene had left him in a sorry state, the appearance of the fireball had filled his young heart with joy. For the first time, he felt a sense of respect for Goris. "Tea-teacher, I'm sorry. I'm too stupid. I can't even use a small spell properly. "

Goris thought to himself, then I'm even more stupid than you. He had never seen anyone who could release a fireball to this extent after only two days of practice. "Alright, don't say anymore. Just be careful in the future, and don't forget the incantation."

Dumb nodded and said firmly, "I, I definitely won't forget, teacher." Fireball was the first spell that Dumb had learned. His heart was already filled with love for the red fireball. He sat aside and continued to recite the incantation that he was already familiar with.

After another two days, the voyage entered the final stage. Goris did not dare to leave his room for a few days, afraid that the endless sea would make him vomit. Food and drink were all sent to his room by Dumb's servants. Almost 90% of the food from every meal went into Dumb's stomach. Dumb was a very well-behaved child. For the past three days, apart from reciting the incantation for Fireball, he had been meditating and practicing on his bed. As the saying goes, hard work makes up for one's stupidity. In just three days, he could already master the fireball spell very well and release a fireball with a diameter of about five centimeters. Occasionally, Goris would give him some pointers on the application of the fireball, such as how to increase the temperature of the fireball, how to make the fireball bigger, how to control the fireball to dance in the air, and so on. Unexpectedly, Dumby, who had always been stupid, was able to learn these application methods very easily and quickly grasped them.

Dumb controlled the fireball to spin around his body. He thought to himself that even if his teacher died in the future, he would not be afraid of the cold anymore. It felt so good to have a fireball to warm himself up. Luckily, Goris did not know of mind-reading spells. Otherwise, he would be bleeding from all his orifices.

"Teacher, I want to get some fresh air at the door." After a few days together, Dumb was not that afraid of Goris anymore. After all, Goris did not beat him and let him eat his fill every time.

Goris glanced at him and said, "Put away your fireball. Just stay at the door and don't go too far."

Dumb said excitedly, "Yes, teacher." After that, he waved his hand and extinguished the fireball in the air. Then, he opened the door and walked outside happily. Standing in the corridor outside the cabin, Dumby leaned on the railing. The warm sunlight shone on his body, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort. He took a deep breath of the salty air and looked at the place where the sea and the sky met in the distance. He couldn't help but feel intoxicated.

"Huh? What's that? " Dumb, who was intoxicated, suddenly saw a black dot on the sea moving diagonally toward their passenger ship. It seemed to be moving very fast, and the black dot was gradually getting bigger.

After a while, the black dot became clearer. It was also a ship. The hull was black and seemed to be about the size of a passenger ship. There was only one deck. There was a huge white skull painted on the huge black sail, and there were two crossed bones under the skull. Dumb thought to himself, why is the color of their ship different from mine?

Seeing that the big black ship was gradually approaching, the other people on the passenger ship seemed to have also noticed the situation. They kept exclaiming, "Pirates, ah! It's pirates"
