10. You will have to pay it back sooner or later
The princess was unable to find the brave man in the end. Although she suspected that the brave man had left what the Great Sage said, she knew that the Great Sage had a good relationship with the brave man and was likely to lie for him, she did not have the courage to mess around in the Great Sage's magic tower. After chatting with the Great Sage for a while, the princess finally left helplessly.
The princess who walked out of the magic tower did not leave angrily, but turned around and cursed at the magic tower. The scene of the princess in a knight outfit cursing the brave on the street really made it strange for those passing by to see.
The princess left for a long time before the brave man took Ania out of the hiding place.
The brave man thanked Licoon and then went upstairs to find the Great Sage. The Great Sage did not receive the princess personally. He had no choice but to the furious princess, so he asked his apprentice to lied that he was maintaining the city's guardian array.
"Thank you, old man." When the brave man went upstairs, the great sage was studying the Demon King's Corner. It was easy to absorb the magic power inside, but it was a long process. The brave man obviously would not be willing to wait for that long, so he was studying how to quickly release the magic power inside.
"As long as you don't hide in me and never go out." The Great Sage raised his head and smiled, then asked, "Brave, what are you going to do in the future?"
"Of course I will go to the king to receive the reward." Then the brave man was a little discouraged. He originally wanted to find the king as soon as possible, but now he obviously could not do so. "It's a pity that the princess already knows that I'm back. Although she hasn't found me now, she will definitely wait for me in the palace when she returns, ah..."
"The princess is a very patient person. If you don't go, she will definitely wait forever, especially when everyone knows that you will never give up that reward." The great sage smiled as if watching the show.
"That's why I didn't leave here and go to the palace immediately." The brave man sighed. Although he shamed the princess in public and ran away after pretending to be a pussy, he found that things were not that simple when he came back. "I have to pay it back sooner or later. I used to think that it was because it was not strong enough, but now I realize that sometimes the power cannot solve everything."
"You didn't say before that power cannot solve everything, but people who can solve problems, why don't people who create problems now solve problems?" Because the brave did not mean to leave, it was difficult for the great sage to leave and start to test the characteristics of the Demon King's Corner. This kind of experiment requires a quieter environment to help him concentrate.
"You are making fun of me again." The brave man said angrily, "Let me think of a solution, how can I not be caught by the princess and receive the reward at the same time?"
"Give up, I think that's impossible." The Great Sage replied immediately, and the brave immediately became discouraged. The Great Sage said again, "I think you might as well go to the king earlier."
"What?!" The brave man looked like "Do you want to see me die?"
"Now, only the princess knows that you are back. You only need to face her alone. If you delay it for a while, I'm afraid the Saint will get news. Then you will face double terror."
"Well... I'll consider it." Although what the Great Sage said makes sense, sometimes it takes courage to face reality, and most people will subconsciously choose to escape.
"You're busy for now. If I'm going to go, I'll leave directly. I won't say hello to you at that time." The brave man waved his hand while saying that, and took Ainia downstairs. The relationship between the two is very good, and the brave man doesn't need to be too polite to him.
"Well." Since the brave man was about to leave, the great sage did not try to keep him. He responded casually and immediately lowered his head and began to study the Demon King's Corner. Demon King's Corner is only one rare item in the world. Whether it is to help the brave man or to satisfy his curiosity, he did not want to waste more time in other aspects.
After going downstairs with Ania, he saw Lecoon cleaning the magic tower. The Great Sage knew nothing about life and choreography. His apprentice was responsible for taking care of his daily life when he lived in the magic tower.
"You are also a genius, Lycoon."
"Is that true?" Licoon smiled and replied casually.
"That's right, I've seen many magicians. They want to practice twenty-four hours a day, but they still have mediocre abilities. But you spend at least ten hours on chores every day, right? But your strength is still beyond those magicians who have worked hard to practice. If you are not talented, it is definitely impossible for you to practice better than others in less than half of the time, right?"
"How do you know that I have practiced as long as others have?" Lecoon stopped the work at hand and looked up at the brave man and asked.
"Ah? Are you the kind of bitch who is studying? He is just a bitch who eats, drinks and has fun on the surface, and asks others to play together, but when he gets home, he works very hard behind his back. When his grades come out, he still shows off his slut, "Just learn whatever you want, you don't need to work hard at all."
"I didn't eat, drink and have fun everywhere, and I'd even drag others to live with me." Lecoon shook his head helplessly. He always felt that the brain circuits of brave men and normal people were a little different. "I meant that in fact, I was doing these chores is also part of my practice. It's not that I only practice when I was free to meditate, so my practice time was not shorter than anyone else."
"Oh--Is it that kind of secret technique, well, that kind of secret technique in the story? Eating and sleeping every day is considered a special secret technique to practice. Is there really such secret technique? Teach me!" The brave man suddenly became interested and approached Licoon's face with great enthusiasm.
"There is no secret technique. If you want to become stronger, you should practice hard. If you don't practice, you will become stronger no matter what. What I mean by doing chores is not what the brave ones think. I just spend some energy on the training of magic micro-working when doing chores. It's just that outsiders can't see this kind of training and the magic fluctuations are too small, so I am considered to be only doing chores and not practicing."
"It's so boring." The brave man was a little disappointed, but he became a new interest in the next second. "Have you changed in the magic tower in the past few years? For example, some new entertainment equipment has been added..."
"No."
"Then forget it, I'll go have some fun by myself."
The great sage lives like an ascetic. Every day, apart from practicing, studying magic and other knowledge, he does not seek fun everywhere like other nobles. There are no toys in the magic tower that can bring fun. However, for the brave, this is nothing. You can make it yourself without toys. Anyway, there are various tools here, and he has learned to use them before, so he is not worried about not achieving the effect he wants.
"I learned some games from the Abyss Demons in the area occupied by the Demon King. I need to use the props I need to make the game now. Do you want to play with Lycoon?"
"No need, I still have a lot to be busy with."
Lecoon opened his mouth and wanted to persuade the brave man not to do anything randomly, but thinking about his words, the brave man would definitely not give up, so he couldn't help but lament that he had to spend more time cleaning up the mess.
