Experiment

In the letter, his friend mentioned that Horus' brother, Klos, had arrived in the capital a week ago and presented a gift to the king.

At the same time, in front of the king, they slandered Horus and claimed that the internal strife in Gold blade was due to Horus killing the former count and attempting to seize power. In the end, it was Klos who suppressed the rebellion with the help of the Knights, while Horus became a fugitive.

From the perspective of the king, he doesn't care who is the Lord of Gold blade. He only needs an obedient count. Klos presented a valuable gift and expressed his obedience to the king's orders. Therefore, Klos has rightfully become the Lord of Gold blade. Meanwhile, Horus has become a wanted criminal.

"How could this happen... how could this happen..." This result is difficult for Horus to accept.

"This is reality. In the game of power, justice is merely a tool, and self-interest is everything!"

These past few days, while gathering intelligence in the capital city, Carlos also heard about the Golden Blade Leader. Therefore, he could basically guess the contents of the letter in Horus' hands.

"But... it was clearly him who seized power, why did I end up being the criminal? Why?"

Seeing his perplexed and indignant expression, Carlos hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "There's no reason why. Sometimes this world is unreasonable, it's all about winners and losers."

"If you want to regain everything that has been taken from you, then you must become stronger. In the face of strength, all conspiracies and schemes to frame and deceive will become extremely laughable. Weakness is the original sin!"

Carlos' statement is not only directed towards Horus, but also towards himself. As an ordinary person with no magical talent, Carlos was able to accomplish so much because of the teleportation bead.

Once the teleportation bead is lost, he will be sent back to square one. Therefore, Carlos knows that he cannot solely rely on the teleportation bead forever. Without magical talent, he must leverage his other advantages and continuously enhance his overall strength.

Horus looked up at Carlos, clutching the letter in his hand, and pleaded.

"Mr. Six, please allow me to become your student. I am willing to do anything as long as it helps me become stronger!"

Horus's words caught Carlos off guard. While he had anticipated that Horus might seek his help, he hadn't expected him to directly ask to become his disciple. Carlos furrowed his brow slightly, feeling somewhat torn. It would be a good opportunity if he could take Horus as his student and legitimately ask for his assistance in expanding his territory within the Misty Forest.

However, Carlos is just an ordinary person, at most having some research in theoretical aspects. He is not qualified to be the teacher of a fourth-order mage like Horus. After all, Carlos has only studied first and second-order magic, and it would be difficult for him to reach the third order or higher.

If he agrees to become Horus' teacher, it will be easy for him to expose himself.

As Carlos was contemplating how to politely decline, a noise came from the distant forest. Carlos and Horus quickly turned their heads to see a giant black bear slowly approaching, stepping on the low shrubs.

It is a Giant Dark Bear, a fourth-level Warcraft.

Looking at the black bear approaching slowly, which was nearly eight meters tall, Carlos instinctively wanted to teleport back home. This fear of danger led him to always be prepared to teleport back home whenever he came to the Misty Forest.

However, he realized that Horus was still standing next to him, and the Giant Dark Bear was still quite far away from them. Carlos didn't rush to teleport. After all, if he ran away after encountering a fourth-order Warcraft, all the plans Carlos had made in front of Horus would be ruined.

So he wants to wait a little longer and seize the opportunity.

When Horus saw the giant dark bear, his expression immediately became serious. Just now, he had become somewhat excited because of that letter and hadn't noticed the approaching danger. By the time he reacted, the giant dark bear had already spotted them.

Don't say that Horus is still injured now, even if he is in his prime state, it would be difficult for him to have a chance of winning against the giant dark bear head-on. Under normal circumstances, Horus would quickly flee when encountering such level of magical beasts.

However, now that Mr. Six is here as the Holy Mage by he side, Horus is not so afraid anymore. When he thought of this, Horus suddenly paused for a moment and then his expression became somewhat serious.

No! Horus, oh Horus. Weren't you the one who wanted to become Mr. Six's student? And didn't you say that you were willing to do anything for him? How come you retreated when faced with just a fourth-order magic beast? You even thought about relying on Mr. Six for protection! With such lack of ambition, how can you become stronger? How can you reclaim everything that belongs to you?

After questioning himself, Horus gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He took out a small flag, intending to give it his all in the battle against the giant dark bear and prove his determination in front of Mr. Six. So, Horus took a step forward, ready to launch an attack.

Carlos saw him walking forward, grabbed his shoulder and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"Teacher, I will prove my determination!"

This statement left Carlos completely confused. What is this about? I haven't even agreed to anything yet, why is the teacher already involved? And what does it mean to prove determination?

"You are in a dangerous state to battle the Giant Dark Bear. Luckily, I have a new magical item that I want to test its power. You can stay on the side and watch for now. If the test results are not satisfactory, you can prove your determination as you wish."

"New magical props? Testing their power?" Horus paused for a moment, then suddenly realized why Mr. Six had opened up a territory within the Misty Forest.

Originally, Mr. Six turned out to be a powerful forbidden spell mage who came here to test the power of magical devices using the magic beasts in the Misty Forest. Mr. Six is truly remarkable, as he directly took the magic beasts for experimental play.

Suddenly, Carlos threw a small stone forward and then snapped his fingers.

A 1.5-meter-high steel cannon suddenly appeared in front of him, with a 150mm caliber barrel perfectly aimed at the distant giant dark bear.

This steel cannon is the first finished product created by a dozen blacksmiths in the past few days. Although it still has many flaws, Carlos tested it at the Black Iron Territory and its power is quite impressive.

Originally, Carlos planned to wait until they had built several more cannons before setting them up around the cave. However, the appearance of this giant dark bear in the distance gave him the idea to test the power of the cannons.

If the bear had charged directly at him, Carlos would have teleported away without hesitation. But at this moment, the giant shadow bear was slowly approaching with heavy steps, occasionally letting out intimidating roars.

It can sense the magical elements on Horus and finds it a bit challenging to take down this human in one go, so it approaches while gathering strength. As for Carlos, he is completely ignored by the giant dark bear since he currently has no magic elements.
