217 Stronghold (Part 1)

Hearing Ning Shi’s words, Old Li’s fingers rubbed the back of the butcher’s knife, and he said slowly, “This knife of mine hasn’t killed anyone for more than ten years. Many people have already forgotten the madness of the One Blade butcher and ignored my threats and warnings.”

Old Li had only threatened the heir of the Hilda family yesterday, Qadeer Khan. What he meant was that the attack on Sword Shield City’s Orphanage No. 15 was a scheme by the Hilda family to kill with a borrowed knife.

With a flick of his wrist, Old Li kept the butcher’s knife at his waist and continued, “Radioactive people have many restrictions when it comes to absorbing souls. When they reach a certain stage, they have very high requirements for the quality of the soul.

“Generally speaking, the better the quality of a mecha master, the higher the quality of their soul.

!!

“The Hilda family failed to recruit you, and they didn’t want you to join the Norse Republic Academy alive, so they told the radioactive people that you have an S-level aptitude.

“The radioactive people originally came to the outer city to hunt for souls at will. Knowing that there is an S-level talent in Orphanage No. 15, they naturally chose the orphanage as their target.”

“There are more than 10000 people in Orphanage No. 15, and they all died because of you. Do you feel bad? ”

As if he had been provoked, Old Li’s attitude towards Ning Shi changed after the attack of the radioactive people.

Previously, his teaching methods had been very gentle, but now, they had gradually become cruel.

He deliberately said these words to provoke Ning Shi, wanting to use the emotions of anger and hatred to motivate Ning Shi to become stronger.

Who knew that Ning Shi’s heart was so strong and ruthless? Although the people in the orphanage had suffered an undeserved disaster because of him, the instigator of all this was the Hilda family, and the direct killers were the radioactive people.

Ning Shi didn’t have any psychological burden.

Ning Shi also felt that even without him, Orphanage No. 15 would not have a good end.

This was because this orphanage was the one where Nico, the child of destiny, grew up.

Nico had deep feelings for Orphanage No. 15. The moment he left, everyone in the orphanage was killed. If you were to say that it was a coincidence, then it would be too much of a coincidence.

All of this was very in line with the plot of the protagonist’s rise. Nico’s growth required setbacks and hatred, but Ning Shi did not need them.

Ning Shi’s expression didn’t change. He was expressionless and didn’t answer. This kind of behavior caused Old Li to misunderstand. He thought that his teasing had succeeded and that the flame of revenge had already been ignited in Ning Shi’s heart.

Old Li continued, “On the way to the inner city, I received news from a friend. The radioactive people who attacked Orphanage No. 15 are the Snake Unit from the Xiacheng District of the New Star City. There are a total of 18 members, and the leader is called Marcel. I have sent the specific information to your watch.

“I’ve sent you the general situation of the Hilda family. Take a look at it when you’re free.

“If you want to take revenge, you must first have a target and understand the target’s situation.”

Ning Shi nodded and calmly analyzed, “Master, since the Hilda family used a borrowed knife to kill us, they would definitely monitor the situation around the orphanage.

“They’ll soon know that we’ve escaped.

“Once these nobles make their move, they won’t give up halfway. It’s not safe for us to stay in the hotel right now, right?”

Old Li looked at Ning Shi with appreciation and patted his shoulder, saying, “Xiao Ning, other than being a little na?ve, you’re perfect in all aspects. You’re able to calmly analyze things when you encounter them. You’re much better than when I was young.

“I’ve been carefully observing you while we were running.

“You’re very fast, and you can keep up with 20% of my speed. This means that you were born with a strong physique.

“I should have confidence in you.”

Old Li tidied up his shirt, took out a key in the shape of a butcher’s knife with a serious expression, and handed it to Ning Shi.

“According to the One Blade butcher’s rules, every butcher must train and grow in battle. I’ve delayed your progress.

“For so many years, I’ve been looking for a good successor, but I couldn’t find one. After meeting you, I was a little worried about the gains and losses. I was afraid that you would encounter danger, so I tried my best to let you grow up safely.

“After today’s incident, I’ve realized that you’re a meticulous person with a naturally strong physique. In addition to the talent you’ve shown in your knife skills, you’re completely capable of going out into the wild to engage in actual combat.

“Constantly killing the livestock in the farm is not beneficial to your growth. Some talents and abilities can only be awakened in actual combat in the wild.”

Old Li’s words reminded Ning Shi.

His Physique had reached 19 points and his Spiritual Power had reached 15 points. When he was in the World of Moen, this data had given him several talents.

But in the Titanium Pole World, Ning Shi had yet to awaken any innate abilities.

This was partly because the game system was suppressed by the world’s will, but mostly because he had been slaughtering the livestock that had no ability to resist.

The avatar in the game lacked the tempering of bloody battles.

Old Li continued, “This key is a stronghold I built near Exit 3 in the outer city a few years ago. I backed up the various inheritances of the One Blade butcher in the stronghold. I’ve stored enough supplies for 100 people to live for 10 years.

“I’ll send the exact location of the stronghold and the method to open it to your watch later.

“The Hilda family will soon find out about this hotel, and they will send people to capture or kill us at any time.

“But you don’t have to worry, I’ve arranged everything on purpose.

“Take the key and leave the hotel quietly. Then, go to the stronghold and undergo a month-long field combat training.”
