Before the sun sets.

The Knights of Light left the Sacred Lake.

Just like an elk drinking water by the lake, it found that the male lion resting beside him suddenly left, and almost all the mercenaries showed a relieved look on their faces.

"Big brother, it seems that it is really the corpse of Sisoo," the catfish said to his leader, the eldest brother grass carp, "I just heard that kid mention astrologers! As we all know, except for the priests, only astrologers have the ability to prophesy, they must have predicted the location of Sisoo's corpse, and then sent someone here to find it! I guess they will go to the royal capital to receive the reward now." Alas, this group of Knights of Light, although they seem to be very polite, are still a bit unreasonable in doing things. Sisoo's bounty must have been 100,000 gold coins, but he only gave us a ring. When the grass carp was talking to Vino Yakel, the catfish kept following them, but he could hear the conversation between the two people clearly.

"This is the magic crystal ring," the grass carp tossed the ring to his brother, "don't lose it, this is also a token, we can borrow the power of the royal family with this token!"

The grass carp played with the magic crystal ring, a gold ring, and the middle was inlaid with a magic crystal the size of a soybean. "The royal family, the old guy of the king has given birth to more princes, and although that kid is also surnamed Arkell, I don't think he can be regarded as a descendant. If not, how could he be sent to the north to do the mission?"

"At present, there are only five hundred men in the Knight of Light, and these five hundred men stand guard by the king's side day and night, not leaving an inch. Grass carp said.

"I know, the Knight of Light hasn't been on the continent for a long time. Catfish said nonchalantly.

"But today, the king has assigned a hundred knights of light to Vino Arkel in command, what does this mean?"

“...... This shows that the king is grooming a successor!" The catfish almost blurted out! Suddenly he felt the blood rushing to his face, and exclaimed, "Oh! Wow! What a thrill! So, it was the future king who just talked to us?!

"What future king?" "Tell me, what did that kid say to you?"

Of course, the catfish doesn't care about the nasty ghosts, and plays with the magic crystal ring in his hand, completely treating the nasty ghosts around him as air.

The nasty ghost annoyed the grass carp like a fly, but the grass carp had no choice but to reveal a little news to him: "His name is Vino Yakel, and he is indeed a great nobleman." ”

"How big is the great noble?"

"It's so big. ”

......

Frank talks to Ryder about the use of the battle axe while keeping an eye on the movements of the Knight of Light not far away. When he saw all the Light Knights leave, he began to focus on Ryder. "Yes! Take a big step! Rely on the inertia of your body to split the axe out!" he said solemnly, "You must clearly remember your attack range! Don't let the enemy enter your step! Once the opponent enters the attack range, strike with lightning and never leave any spare strength!"

"Big Brother Frank, I've slashed out at least 10,000 times today, and I feel like my forearm is going to explode!"

In fact, as he hurried towards the Sacred Lake in the morning, Frank had already begun to guide Ryder. Two hours ago, Ryder was still taking five steps and striking an axe. At this time, after practicing for nearly half an hour, he really couldn't lift his arms.

"Take a break. Frank said, "Do this for a month before you can get started." ”

"Repeat this action every day?" Ryder scratched his head, "Fortunately, I'm a carpenter, and I often cut wood to train my body, otherwise it would never be possible to persevere." ”

"Well, you have some basic skills. Frank walked along the lake, and Ryder followed, "But don't be proud, the axe is actually very difficult to practice, and after a month, you should be able to fight the same class of samurai." ”

"Just need this one action?" Ryder was a little incredulous.

"Yes, in the first battle, if you don't kill the enemy with one axe, you almost don't get a second hit. ”

"Brother Frank, you can teach me how to do it. ”

"It's not something you can learn in a day, the main thing is to block, then to attack, and finally to move. Of course, if you use a sword or sword, you can learn martial arts at the same time. But axes are different, axes have a lot of blocking skills, and you can completely use blocking skills instead of body skills. ”

I see, Ryder nodded thoughtfully.

The two men talked and walked back. "How's your wound?" said Frank, looking at the one-eyed dragon beneath his feet.

"Uncle, one of my hands seems to have been broken by that nasty guy, and I can't move at all! And my nose, you see here, is all swollen. The one-eyed dragon received rare attention, and the nasty ghost in front of him was not around, so he immediately made a small report, "Uncle mercenary, please don't let that guy guard me, let's change someone, I really can't be beaten again." ”

"Well, I can think about it," Frank said, already untying the hemp rope from his body.

So good!

Covering his aching shoulders, the one-eyed dragon stood up from the ground in confusion. The slug, who was standing on the sidelines and observing, saw that the one-eyed dragon had been liberated, and immediately took a few steps towards the crowded place.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" said the one-eyed dragon's tone with a hint of surprise.

"Practice with him," Frank handed his axe to the cyclops, "and if you can knock him down, I'll consider someone else guarding you." ”

The one-eyed dragon looked at the black-faced man in front of him, and was directly stunned for a moment, he secretly thought in his heart, sparring is a sparring partner, at least the other party doesn't plan to kill him in a short time, what else is there to ask for?

"Ryder, I know you don't have the strength anymore, so just do what I teach you today, it won't take much effort. "Frank may not be a responsible leader, but he is definitely a responsible teacher. As soon as he finished teaching Ryder, he immediately found him a sparring partner.

The slug, hiding behind a tree, apparently not understanding what they were doing, stood five paces away and observed.

He saw that his former boss had a new axe, and there was a guy with an axe standing across from him.

The two of them just looked at each other.

Finally, the one-eyed dragon did not hold back and took a step forward with his axe. Then he heard a ding, and the axe in his hand was smashed to the ground!

The slug was stunned, and walked together in the team for a long time, of course he knew that the black-faced man named Ryder seemed to be a novice mercenary, not only like himself, but also had no martial arts skills in his body, and he still looked stupid, and he had been chopping the air with an axe from morning to noon, and when he had just walked, he kept chopping. He was tired of repeating an action all the time, and a mercenary asked Boss Frank to give him some new tricks, but the other party didn't seem to hear it at all, and still went his own way.

However, what the slugs didn't expect was that the one-eyed dragon was directly defeated by the blow of this novice mercenary?

"Very well, Ryder!" Frank praised. At first, he just wanted this guy to have a self-defense skill, but now it seems that the other party has a talent for learning martial arts! Although the one-eyed dragon was seriously injured, he had the consciousness of a third-level warrior after all!

"This ......," said Ryder, scratching his head, "I just knocked him off with an axe?"

"That's it!" Frank threw the hemp rope to the slug, motioned for the other party to tie up the cyclops again, and then said to Ryder, "Boy, you have to remember that no one will give you time to think when fighting, and all actions are your subconscious! Only in this way can you have a slight advantage in the battle!

At this time, Ryder suddenly had a deeper understanding of the axe in his hand, and he understood why Frank didn't teach him the body technique, he could solve the enemy with one blow, what body technique should he learn?

If you attack with an axe, you will be domineering!

That's the essence of the axe!

Ryder took a deep breath, and as if he was about to exhale the fatigue of the day, he slowly exhaled all the turbidity in his body. "I understand," he nodded to Frank, "and I'll continue to practice tomorrow as you ask." ”

......

After looking around the sacred lake, they didn't see any signs of critters, and the nasty ghost missed the pheasants in the woods the day before.

After dark, the mercenaries who were searching the neighborhood had already run back one after another. "Hey, what prey did you hit?" the nasty ghost who returned empty-handed caught Little Yellow's attention, "What is in the package for me to see? Bird eggs? Hey, don't go, bring me two! You don't have a sense of public morality, you have so many but you don't give them to me!"

"Meat shield! I'll just say you've been taken to the east, there's nothing there, you guy still don't believe it!"

"Where's the rabbit? Smiley Garu, you can do it! I'll book a leg! What? No? Okay, then you can keep it for Boss Frank. By the way, why hasn't Boss Frank come back yet?"

It was late at night. According to the mercenaries' habits these days, they will disperse in all directions to look for the traces of Mr. Blue Hat, catch some game by the way, and then return to the designated location at the appointed time.

It's been half an hour since the allotted time, and all the mercenaries have returned, except for Boss Frank, who hasn't returned. "Aren't you two or three?" said the nasty ghost, puzzled, "why did Boss Frank go alone?"

"He's followed by that black-faced boy Ryder," said Little Yellow Fur, pointing to the south, "and there's a forest three thousand meters away, and they should go in that direction." ”

"There's a woods around here, and the woods are a favorite place for pheasants," said the nasty ghost, patting his forehead, "Hell, these two guys must be running a little stove behind our backs, and alas, since we had the blackface boy, Boss Frank doesn't love me anymore......"

...... Three kilometers away, on top of a large tree, Frank and Ryder were sitting.

Even though the branches of this big tree were very thick, it finally couldn't bear the weight of the two big men.

I heard a click, and the branch snapped off, and two black shadows swished to the ground!

"Ah~oh~~~Ah~oh~~~"

They threw out the donkey bark.

Oh!

Wrong!

There's a real donkey barking!

I saw that in the darkness, from time to time, a pitch-black figure flashed behind the trees and ran wildly.

"Keep up with it!" Frank got up from the ground.

Ryder struggled to get up, hurriedly followed Frank's footsteps, and shouted, "Big Black Feet......!
