my elf knows martial arts

Xu Tian was confused by Rose's words.

Why does it feel like the devil is tempting the brave to sign a contract? Could it be that Uncle Ross is actually a hidden devil intern, and it is almost the end of the year and he has to rush for results.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Tian took a deep breath and answered: "What is strength?"

"Answering questions with questions is a very good communication skill." Uncle Ross showed a hint of relief on his face, and then became serious again.

"Strongness means being able to face any problem with ease, not letting people who care about you worry about you, and having the ability to protect the people and things you cherish."

Xu Tian had never seen Uncle Ross like this before. His sharp eyes and solemn expression made people completely ignore his bald hair and the wrinkles on his face that were beginning to change.

Xu Tian has been renting the uncle's attic since he time traveled.

In the past three years, his uncle had given him the impression of an easy-going middle-aged man who lived an ordinary life relying on government subsidies and his own rent every day.

Not to mention being powerful, the uncle didn't even have his own elf. Every time Natalie and Xu Tian asked, the uncle always said that his family was poor when he was a child and he had no money to take care of the elf. Later, when he grew up, he had no time to take care of the elf. There are many people who swear that there are no elves in this world.

This is an uncle who drinks half a glass of wine and eats two plates of peanuts, and falls asleep without saying anything when he is drunk, but he is very prestigious in the small town.

The uncle had never lost his temper with anyone, or even spoken seriously, but everyone in the town surprisingly respected him.

Xu Tian always thought that it was because Uncle Ross might have been a prestigious civil servant or an outstanding company employee when he was young. He had a certain status in the town and contributed to the construction of the town.

For example, Hume, the owner of the big milk can industry, is deeply loved by the people in the small town. After all, almost the latest generation of teenagers grew up drinking his milk. The milk from the big milk can is sweet and delicious, which is good for long-bodied children. Definitely the best drink.

What's more, Hume has not raised the price once in more than ten years. It seems that he opened the ranch not to make money, but to inherit this ancestral industry so that the ranch can protect the children of Zhenxin Town.

But obviously, judging from the current situation, the people in the town respect Uncle Ross and respect Uncle Hume for different reasons.

At this moment, Uncle Ross, who was sitting upright on the small bench, still looked like the middle-aged man with a stout figure, but his temperament had changed.

That is the calmness and calmness towards the world that only those who have set foot on the top of the mountain can show.

Xu Tian thought for a long time. He thought about this life from his past life.

From the ignorant longing when I first arrived in the elf world three years ago, to the thought of working hard for the hardships of life.

From the joy of saving enough money to adopt the first elf, to the fear of saving Bill with his instinct.

The lofty ambitions of setting out on the adventure from the outskirts of Zhenxin Town reminded me of my recent brushes with death several times.

He understands that once he sets foot on the road, there is no turning back. This is a one-way road, and he can only go all the way to the darkest place and the strongest point.

Now let him abandon Bill and Sean and go back to the town to be a mediocre ordinary citizen. Not to mention Bill and the others would not agree, even Xu Tian himself would never do that.

People who abandon elves are bastards. If they abandon their companions for no special reason, such people are simply scum.

Moreover, he promised Bill that he would help it find its tribe; he promised Sean that he would take it on an adventure.

Therefore, if you want to continue taking risks, you must become stronger than you are now

Seeing Xu Tian's eyes slowly becoming firmer, Uncle Ross understood what Xu Tian was thinking without him having to say anything.

"Sure enough, every young man who embarks on an adventure never regrets it," Uncle Ross said softly, "But I won't wish you to go out half your life and come back as a young man. Doesn't that mean you haven't grown up? I would rather wish you You have gone through the ups and downs of life and managed to remain calm."

After sighing, the uncle looked at Xu Tian and said: "If you want to become stronger, after you are discharged from the hospital, I will take you away from Changqing City for a while to find ways to make you stronger. If nothing else, Uncle can still guarantee this."

Xu Tian was stunned when he heard this, and replied: "But I have less than two months to go to the city league. I have made an agreement with the directors of Evergreen University that I will participate in the competition as a school employee."

"Are those old foxes?" Uncle Ross knew about this because one of the two letters that made the school directors change their minds was written by him.

Uncle Ross said: "There is enough time. I believe you can do it in two months. I have finished my words. I will pick you up when you can move. Don't quarrel when Xiaoli comes in later."

Ross originally wanted to pat Xu Tian's shoulder, but Xu Tian's shoulder was seriously injured in the battle with Doron Baruto and is now being tightly bandaged.

So the uncle could only retract his hand angrily.

Xu Tian smiled and watched Uncle Ross walk out of the ward.

In his eyes, the back of Uncle Ross seemed to be that of an old general who had gone through two dynasties. He was frail and old, but everything left on him was the precipitation of time.

Natalie was waiting outside the door. Uncle Ross smiled, hugged his daughter, and let her go in to find Xu Tian.

The uncle stood at the door and listened sideways for a long time, making sure that the two children would not quarrel because of Xu Tian's injury. Then he smiled with relief and turned to leave.

Although the sunshine in the early winter morning is bright, it cannot bring warmth. This contrast makes people feel a little depressed.

Uncle Ross was sitting on a bench outside the hospital building, and the hot breath he exhaled was already visible to the naked eye.

"I didn't expect you to come here. I thought you would live in Zhenxin Town until you die of old age."

The old voice made Uncle Ross know who was coming without having to look up. He moved his butt to make way for the vice president of Evergreen University.

The old man was wearing a large trench coat, and his slim figure obviously couldn't hold up this extended version of clothing, which made him look a bit uncoordinated.

"That's my daughter. I'm very worried, so I came here to see if you have children too. Fathers should be able to understand each other."

Uncle Ross rubbed his hands. The winter in Changqing City was still a bit cold.

The old man wore expensive fur gloves, a scarf around his neck, and a small felt hat.

The elderly should pay special attention to protecting themselves from the cold in winter. How many people are easily unable to survive the winter as they get older, not to mention that this old man is really too old.

It was beyond Rose's expectation that he was still able to move around.

The old man walked to Uncle Ross and sat down. He took out his little elf ball and released a Nuan Nuan pig. The Nuan Nuan pig screamed "huchihuchi" and jumped into Uncle Ross's arms.

"Thank you." Uncle Ross hugged Nuannuan Pig to keep warm. He didn't have any elf now, so he could only rely on clothes to keep out the cold.

But I left in a hurry from Zhenxin Town and didn’t bring anything with me.

"Natalie is a good girl. She inherited your talent, and her outstanding commanding ability is very similar to yours."

The old man took a long breath and said, "But the child named Xu Tian is not your son. Since you knew that Natalie was fine, it is obvious that his injury has affected your heart even more."

Uncle Ross rolled his eyes. He couldn't tell the old man that it might be his uncle.

"Oh, do you want to say that the child and Natalie were childhood sweethearts?" The old man smiled and became interested.

Ross sighed: "Can you please stop using the power of Viridian in strange places? Can't the power of Viridian only be used to communicate with elves? Seventy or eighty years of training has allowed you to read minds."

"I guessed it." The old man smiled slyly and continued: "Don't change the subject. That kid is indeed outstanding, but I always feel that you have special feelings for him."

"He looks a lot like me back then," Uncle Ross said with a hint of hope in his eyes. "Not only do I feel this way, but people in the town also say so, saying that I have brought back a son, a young man who can achieve supreme glory on my behalf. .”

The old man was slightly surprised: "You sensed a miracle from him. Do you mean that he also has the grace of Arceus and has the hope to master all abilities?"

"I don't know," Ross shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary person now, I'm not even an elf."

"But" Ross smiled, "I still have a good eye for people."
