"...Northwest." The young man replied: "I have been walking for a month, all the way to the imperial capital. I heard your name three days ago. I think you can relieve the confusion in my heart."

"What do you want from me?" Lan Hai became interested in this child.

"Answer." The young man's voice was very low: "Sir, I heard others say that you are the smartest and most knowledgeable person in the imperial capital. I am from the northwest. My family lives in the province of Desa, and my great-great-grandfather was once a nobleman.

.My grandfather was an army officer, and my father became a blacksmith in the army. He told me that the army would protect us. But my sister died three years ago, and my home was invaded by aliens.

When the horse thieves came, the foreign robbers insulted her, cut off her head, and hung her head on the fence in the yard. My mother hugged me and hid in the cellar, and I listened to the robbers insulting my sister.

I heard my sister cry, but my mother covered my mouth and we didn't go out. After the robbers left, my mother cried for three days and three nights, and then she died of illness. My father was killed by a horse thief a year ago, and he was left behind.

All the property I was given was a sword, five copper horns, and one sentence...'Live'. Dear Sir, there are still many people like me in the Northwest Dessa Province. I don't

You know, is this fate determined by benevolent gods? Is it true that our tragic fate cannot be changed?"

The boy's voice was hoarse, and there seemed to be something in his eyes that even Lan Hai couldn't bear to look at.

He saw a cloth bag behind the young man, and inside the bag seemed to be the outline of a sword.

After a long time, Lan Hai sighed. He looked at the boy with an apologetic face: "My child, I'm sorry, I can't answer your question."

A trace of deep disappointment flashed across the boy's childish but firm face. He was about to turn around and leave, but Lan Hai suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute."

The young man stopped. Lan Hai had already stood up from the chair and walked to the young man's side. He looked into the young man's eyes and whispered: "There are some things that we can't think about the answer to... but not all things can be solved."

You must have the answer before you can do it... Many times, we will do it first and then see the results. We can do it first, even if the attempt fails, then at least we can know that this method is

Even if it doesn't work, this is also a kind of gain. If we just think about it blindly and don't do it, then you may have been thinking about it for a lifetime without any results."

After a pause, he said slowly: "I can't tell you the answer, but I can help you try... My child, what do you want to learn?"

"Wu!" The boy's answer was firm.

Lan Hai smiled: "Wu? You should know that I am a scholar."

The young man was silent. He seemed a little embarrassed and a little disappointed. However, Lan Hai stared at the young man carefully for a while, and then said softly: "Come with me."

With that said, Lan Hai seemed to be about to turn around and walk in, but asked again: "I almost forgot... what's your name?"

"Rodriguez." The boy replied: "You can also call me Rodney."

"Okay, Rodriguez." Lan Hai recited the name softly, and then he smiled: "You are the first disciple I accepted...and, I think if nothing else, you are also the only one who is my disciple."

I am a martial arts disciple."

Rodriguez followed Lan Hai into the house. There was a door in the house with a small room inside.

"This door is never locked." Lan Hai smiled and said, "However, I think you may be the only one besides me who can go in."

The small room inside was not as narrow as it looked from the outside. Lan Hai was obviously a person who knew how to make full use of space. What surprised Rodriguez even more was that there was actually a cloth curtain hanging in the room.

On the curtain, those strange words and patterns... Rodriguez actually recognized them.

"This is..." The young man's face suddenly became very strange: "Is this the writing of those prairie barbarians?"

"Yes." Lan Hai stood in front of the young man and answered calmly.

"Why do you have such a thing here?"

"Because..." Lan Hai smiled and said, "Because I am one of the 'prairie barbarians' you call... If you don't mind. In fact, I am not from Roland Continent. I was born in the grassland.

I am a prairie man."

Rodriguez's expression suddenly changed. He couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at Lan Hai carefully.

Lan Hai's eyes are blue, and there is no trace of the blood of the grassland aliens at all, and his elegant temperament does not have the slightest hint of the bravery of the grassland people.

"Do you think it's strange?" Lan Hai smiled: "Perhaps in your mind, the so-called prairie people are all those tough guys running on horses, right? But, how much do people really know about that prairie?

"

As Lan Hai spoke, he gently lifted up the curtain, revealing a long box behind it.

"I come from the grassland, but I am not one of those tribes and herdsmen. At the northern end of that grassland, there is a big snow mountain. The highest peak of that snow mountain. Legend has it that if you stand on it, you can directly raise your hand and touch the sky. On top of the snow mountain,

It is the holy land in the hearts of all grassland peoples, because that place is the cradle of all shamans. Every shaman on the grassland was born in the Snowy Mountains... and the people on the Snowy Mountains are not the same as the races on the grassland.

It's different. Our appearance is very similar to the people of the Roland Empire." Lan Hai said with a smile on his face: "I was born in the snow-capped mountains. It is not the wilderness you imagined. In fact.

...On top of the Snowy Mountains, there are preserved the remains of a civilization that is completely different from Roland Continent, and we, the Snowy Mountain people, claim to be the remaining bloodline of that lost civilization."

Rodriguez was a little surprised: "You..."

"Don't use this expression." Lan Hai smiled faintly: "Since I left the Snowy Mountains, I am no longer a person there. Because I have seen it clearly a long time ago... There are basically a group of people on that mountain.

Madmen...or, in other words, a crazy remnant of the race. I left that mountain and came here just because I didn’t want to continue going crazy with those people.”

After saying that, Lan Hai gently opened the box, and inside was a slender sword!

After opening the box, a cold air from inside the box immediately enveloped the entire room! The young Rodriguez was aroused by the cold air and could not help but tremble slightly. The cold light like the cold moon reflected on his young

On his face, green energy glowed, and strange arcs appeared on the sword's edge. The sword's edge seemed to be enveloped in a layer of transparent and crystal ice, but it could be seen...

It's very sharp!

"The name of this sword is called 'Beauty under the Moon'." Lan Hai sighed softly: "Although I think you are not suitable to use this sword, but... I will lend it to you temporarily. Because of this

Although the sword is powerful, in the future when your martial arts reaches a certain level, it will become a yoke that restrains you. Because this sword does not belong to you, although it can bring you a certain improvement,

But one day, you will find that you cannot exert its true power, and at that time, it will become your constraint."

After a pause, Lan Hai asked: "Didn't your father leave a sword to you? You can put that sword in this box. One day in the future, this beauty under the moon will no longer be able to provide you with it.

When growth becomes your shackles, you can come here and take out the long sword that is your father's relic that you have here. At that time, I will teach you how to cultivate a sword that truly belongs to you.

Sword. A sword that can make your soul and the sword fit together."

Rodriguez stared at the beauty under the moon in the box carefully. Although he was still young, he could still feel the magic and extraordinaryness of this sword... Suddenly, the young man's heart moved: "Sir, whose sword does this belong to?"

Is that what you used?"

"It's mine." Lan Hai seemed to smile: "But now, I can no longer use it."

Rodriguez was a little surprised: "Sir...were you once a warrior?"

A strange expression appeared on Lan Hai's face. He did not immediately answer Rodriguez's words, but stretched out his hand to gently stroke the sword edge of the beauty under the moon. His movements were gentle and delicate, and he sighed softly: "

Not anymore."

Then he seemed to smile: "Everyone who leaves the Snowy Mountains must voluntarily give up something that belongs to them... and what I left behind in the Snowy Mountains is my 'Martial Spirit'."

The young man was a little confused. Young Rodriguez still couldn't understand what Lan Hai said. However, due to the young man's character, all his attention was focused on this "beauty under the moon".

It is so beautiful! Rodriguez has never seen such a beautiful sword! It is so beautiful that it seems to hide all its dangers. The deep chill seems to make people's souls deep.

Deeply, involuntarily trapped in it...

While the boy was in a daze, Lan Hai had already taken out the sword from the box, and Rodriguez quickly held it with both hands.

"Use this sword, I will teach you a kind of martial arts... It's just that this kind of martial arts is not that easy to learn, especially at the beginning, your progress will even be much slower than that of ordinary people, but once

After you truly practice it, you will find that this kind of martial arts is infinitely powerful. Are you... willing?"

With the young man's gentle reply "I do", from then on, there was finally a strong person who made the decision on the continent!

It took a "idiot" twenty-five years to go from level one to level three, and a "genius" who only spent five years from level three to level eight!

Spring of the nine hundred and twenty-fifth year of the Roland Empire.

In the spring of this year, the eldest prince Yawen became the crown prince, and everyone thought that he would become the future emperor.

Raymond Rollin became the new Earl of the Rollin family. The Earl's inauguration banquet was held in the new Earl's Mansion, and outside the hall of the banquet guests, at the back door of the Earl's Mansion, a young groom sat on a carriage.

While he was dozing off, he tightened his clothes and muttered: "Damn it, it's still so cold at night... Oh, that butler is very impressive... Huh, I, Mad, can also become a butler one day.

…”

And on the same night, to everyone's surprise, Mr. Lister, a popular lover who was admired by countless girls, unexpectedly married a beautiful girl from a poor background. On this wedding night, Mr. Lister faced him

The newlywed wife smiled and said: "My dear, if we have a child in the future, I hope it will be a beautiful daughter... To commemorate our love, I hope to name her after you... Lan-Liszt."

"

At the same time, Augustine VI, an emperor who was very happy with his success, had begun to turn his conquests to the northwest. A huge map hung in his bedroom, and in the northwest corner, a circle was heavily drawn...

…

When all these things that would affect the future history of the continent happened on the same night, a young man named Rodriguez picked up his swordsmanship in a small house in Lan Hai's house and started

His life's struggle.

"My child, since you are now my student, I want to tell you my real name." Lan Hai looked at this young disciple who was obsessed with the beauty under the moon: "You remember, my real name is."

Blue Haiyue'."

Rodriguez was stunned: "Lan Haiyue? What a strange name."

"It's not the strangest thing." Scholar Blue Ocean smiled softly, and then his face suddenly turned serious: "I want to remind you of one more thing. I ask you to keep this in mind under any circumstances!"

"What?"

"Remember a name, and you must swear to me that you will not be a direct enemy of that person under any circumstances! Because if there is really a devil in this world, then he must be the closest one!"

Lan Hai's expression became extremely serious.
