Chapter Sixty-Nine: Deep Memories

"Brother, you said Mentor Shaperina asked us to come with us to learn something," thirteen-year-old Ariel asked, playing with a delicate dagger, to Ayton.

The delicate dagger was the first weapon Ayton had ever crafted.

"I don't know, the instructor said it was to teach us some techniques to kill people quickly"

"Isn't it just a matter of slashing someone's head or heart with a sword?"

"It's not as simple as you think, let's wait for the mentor to come."

After a while, Shaperina walked over, followed by two dark elf administrators, one pulling an iron prison cart with six slaves, humans, orcs, dwarves, one for each sex.

The other carried a large plank on his back, with four handcuffs and leg irons on it.

Ayton had a bad premonition in his heart, frowned and asked, "Mentor, what are these slaves for?"

"Help you practice," Shaperina said lightly, gesturing one of the managers to stand up the plank, and the other took advantage and forcibly pulled an orc to tie it to the plank.

The orc has a fat head and big ears, and its ears are shaking weakly like a fan, which seems to be a kind of pig orc.

"Damn the dark elves, what are you going to do, let me go," the pig orc roared loudly.

"Shut up, you'll be fine in a moment," the manager said jokingly, gagging him with rags so that he could only make a snorting sound.

"Mentor, killing a slave now doesn't improve us, why should we do anything" If he killed the other party when others rushed to him on the day the training began, it was to defend himself, then this time he was facing a slave who was bound hand and foot, which made him unable to do it at all.

"Who said it was useless, I'll let you try it later" Shaperina glanced at Ayton, and cut open the pig-tribe's orc's shirt with a fighting spirit, revealing the dark body hair on its chest, but it didn't hurt the skin on his chest, and said lightly: "Now you two come here"

"This ......" Ayton suddenly understood what the mentor wanted to teach them, but he couldn't believe his thoughts, and was a little stunned for a while, and suddenly felt a tender little hand holding him, it was Ariel, who was looking at him suspiciously.

"Let's go," the two walked over to the pig slave.

"Do you know where the stab is, and it will make him incapacitated immediately?" asked Shaperina to the two of them.

Ayton only felt a heavy stone weigh on his heart, and he guessed right, Shaperina really intended to use a living body to teach them the art of killing.

"Hmm...... It's the head and the heart," Ariel replied indifferently.

The pig orcs immediately tensed up, struggling to break free from the handcuffs, the plank was swaying back and forth by him, but he was held tightly by the two dark elf managers, so that he could only listen weakly to the two dark elves discussing the vital issues of his body, he knew that the cruel dark elves would definitely kill him when the time came.

"It's true that the head and heart can instantly incapacitate people, but do you know the exact location?"

"Isn't it okay to stab him in the head or chest?"

"Of course not," Shaperina patiently explained, "to be a good Assassin, you must know the basic vital parts of the human body, because some parts can kill with a single blow, and some can temporarily or permanently disappear their physiology or mechanisms. Therefore, knowing and familiarizing yourself with these vital parts, coupled with accurate and powerful striking techniques, can effectively subdue your enemies in combat. ”

"The head is the place where the vital parts are concentrated, but there are mainly ten vital areas, namely the ears, temples, eyes, nose, upper lip, chin, Adam's apple, throat, outer neck, and back of the neck. ”

"There are also collarbones, armpits, abdomen, crotch, spine, ribs, heart, lungs, spleen, stomach, kidneys and other vital parts of the torso. ”

"And the limbs are critical. Knuckles, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, insteps, etc., resulting in dislocations, fractures, or ligament tears due to the correct blows. In hand-to-hand combat, it is impossible not to attach great importance to the joints of the limbs. Inflicting damage on these joints will cause the enemy to dislocate, fracture, and suffer severe pain, thus losing their combat effectiveness, and I will explain the lethality and parts of these parts one by one, and you should remember them carefully. ”

"Wait a minute, are you going to use them for experiments?" Ayton interrupted, pointing to the desperate slaves in the cage.

"Brother?"

"Well, they're just slaves," Shaperina said coldly, looking into Ayton's eyes.

Ayton felt a chill in his heart, in the eyes of the dark elves, life was so worthless: "Just tell us the direction, don't use them for experiments"

"If you don't experiment with them, do you know the specific direction, like where the center of the heart is, do you know?"

"If I knew, I wouldn't have to do experiments with them?"

Shaperina nodded: "If you can point out all the vital parts I said, you can not participate in this training"

“...... Yes" Ayton was silent for a moment, looking at the frightened expressions of the pig orcs, and recalled in his mind what he had learned in his previous life.

"The heart is in the ...... It is located in the middle of the rib cage to the lower left, above the diaphragm, between the lungs and to the left, between the second and fifth ribs on the left side of the sternum. Serious injuries can result in immediate death"

"The kidneys are located in the superficial fossa on both sides of the retroperitoneal spine, at the lower edge of the ribs. Because the abdomen has abundant nerve endings, it can cause unbearable pain, and when bleeding, it can cause death in a short time."

"The spleen is located in the area from the left rib cage to the left upper abdomen. ”

......

"Finally, there is the Fighting Qi Space, which should be able to disrupt the enemy's Fighting Qi and make him temporarily lose his Fighting Qi ability"

Ayton quickly and accurately pointed out the location of each organ in the human body, and explained its function and lethal principle in general, successfully calming Mentor Shaperina on the side.

"How do you know?" Shaperian stared at Ayton, who had just said something she didn't know about the anatomy of the human body.

"Mentor, can we skip this training" Ayton didn't answer her question.

"Hmph, you can go"

Ayton nodded, ready to pull Arielle away, and even the caged slaves breathed a sigh of relief, but Shaperina's next sentence extinguished their newly-rising hopes.

"You can leave, but Ariel has to be trained"

"What?" Ayton turned to look at Shaperina, "I'll give these things to her when I get back, I don't need to do this"

"She's going to have to, I don't know how you know how you know the parts of the human body, but practice is better than your simulation," Shaperina's voice came without a hint of emotion.

"It's my responsibility to train them to be the best assassins of the Dark Elves"

Ayton froze for a moment, since she said yes, then these slaves must die, at Ariel's hands, just for a training session.

"Brother......" Ariel looked at Ayton worriedly, but there was only worry and doubt in her eyes, but there was no pity for the slave.

Ayton sighed helplessly, this basic idea of the problem, he could not change anyone: "Go ahead"

He did not dare to teach Ariel what mercy was and what kindness was, for fear that she would lose her life in the cruel dark cave because of a moment of mercy.

"Start with the instep of the foot, which is connected to the ankle joint, which can easily incapacitate the enemy, and at the same time, it is also a position where the enemy rarely pays attention to defense"

"Ah!!h

"Sometimes to control the force, you just need to cut the ligament in the heel, and it would be very troublesome to cut off the whole foot."

"Hmm" Ariel nodded, her red eyes showing no emotion.

"Next is the knee ......"

Ayton turned his back, unable to bear to see this cruel picture, but he was reluctant to leave Ariel here alone, not knowing what would become of her.

But the orcs wailed straight into Ayton's heart, and after a long time, the wails came to an abrupt end.

Ayton turned around, only to see that the pig orc's originally fat body was covered with large and small sword wounds, and blood was already flowing all over the body.

"Good learning, next is a female body," Shaperina motioned for an administrator to pull a female orc out of the cage, as she did.

Ariel continued to stab large and small transparent holes at her, and she seemed to have discovered a new world, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the familiar red pupils actually looked a little strange at this time, and Ayton felt furious when she saw it.

There was another wail, and the female orcs died tragically on the planks.

"Very good, you have almost mastered the specific parts, the next step is to attack the key points in actual combat, and you are not allowed to use magic and fighting spirit" Shaperina handed a wooden sword to Ariel, and asked the administrator to give the male dwarf and female dwarf an iron sword.

'The wooden sword was supposed to give Ariel so that she didn't kill them directly, and if Ariel managed to make them incapacitated and hit the vital parts, maybe they would still survive'

"Ariel, tap your hand," Ayton reminded aloud, looking at his compatriots in Bahrain.

But the dwarves in these two pit areas can't take care of so much, the dwarves, both men and women, are hot-tempered, and when they see the opportunity to kill a dark elf, they both rush towards Ariel without hesitation.

Since she was only holding a wooden sword in her hand, Ariel did not dare to fight the two of them, so she had to rely on her body to dodge first, seeking a flaw before attacking.

But who knew that the two dwarves had heard what Shaperina had said, and each of them had been defended around their bodies to death, without giving Ariel a chance.

After five minutes, Ariel still didn't make a sword, and the fight was very aggrieved, first, because the dwarf was short and not easy to show flaws, and second, Ayton said to make a light move, but if the hand was too light, the other party had the ability to fight back, and she would be seriously injured at least if the iron sword went down.

Finally, the female dwarf didn't know if it was because of physical exhaustion, and showed her back to Ariel, who seized the opportunity and stabbed her kidney with a sword, and the dwarf had to be seriously injured at least and lose the ability to fight in pain.

But when the sword went down, the female dwarf did not let out a cry of pain, but grabbed the wooden blade of Ariel with her backhand the moment she stabbed her body.

"It's now," the female dwarf yelled, both male and female voices at about the same level.

"Die, fallen dark elves," the male dwarf roared and slashed at Ariel's head with his sword.

Ariel was shocked, and instinctively wanted to pull out her sword to dodge, but because she couldn't use her fighting energy and her strength was insufficient, she couldn't pull it out.

At this time, the female dwarf's hand was holding the blade of the sword, and a trace of blood oozed from both knuckles of the ground, but there was a joyful smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she saw Ariel being beheaded on the spot.

Ariel had forgotten their dwarven racial talents, petrified skin, and immune to parts of the body's pain, so that stab should have been a little stronger.

"Oh no, Ariel!" Ayton exclaimed, and was about to cast the long-stored 'Black Shield' to block the blow for Ariel, but was scattered by a shadow arrow from Mentor Shaperina. The low-level magic cast by a seventh-order powerhouse is far stronger than that cast by a low-level magician with the same magic.

"Let her complete the trial alone," Shaperina said coldly, "and carelessness must be paid"

"What?!" Ayton still underestimated the rigor of Shaperina's training.

At this time, Ariel narrowly avoided the sweep of the male dwarf, but the wooden sword fell into the hands of the female dwarf.

"You ...... Damn" As she retreated, Ariel quickly grabbed a strand of severed silver hair, and a bloodthirsty light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she said fiercely.

"Hmph, you're lucky this time, but next time...... You're dead," the male dwarf said fiercely to Ariel, who already knew the rules of the dark elves that other dark elves were not allowed to interrupt during the dark elf trial.

"Die," Ariel's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and without using her fighting energy, she sped her speed to the fastest and rushed towards the male dwarf.

"Death!" the male dwarf roared, slashing at Ariel's head.

Ariel quickly turned, sideways and deftly dodged the slash, bypassing him and continuing to charge towards the female dwarf, who was unarmed and could hardly damage the male dwarf.

"It's you" Ariel's sword just now still had some effect, stabbing the female dwarf with a sharp pain in the abdomen, but she had good endurance and endured it, and now Ariel slashed her elbow with a palm knife in her right hand before she lifted the sword, and the latter struggled, and the iron sword in her hand slipped out and was successfully caught by Ariel's left hand.

"Don't!" to the exclamation of the male dwarf, Ariel mercilessly stabbed the iron sword into the heart of the female dwarf's chest, the tip of the sword piercing directly behind her chest.

The female dwarf's death left the male dwarf grief-stricken, shouting and rushing at Ariel, "I'm fighting with you!"

Full of flaws, Ariel snorted coldly, stabbed him sideways in the knee, and picked out a vein.

"Ah!!h

Ariel jumped nimbly and took the dwarf's head from another angle.

"Stop, Ariel" Ayton appeared in front of Ariel, blocking the dwarf from the fatal blow.

"Brother!" exclaimed Ariel, most of the anger in her heart vanished at once, and she hurriedly withdrew her strength, but the tip of the sword still pierced Ayton's chest a little.

The tingling pain spread from his chest to his brain, and Ayton couldn't help but let out a muffled grunt, but the pain at this time was completely no match for the grief in his heart.

"Brother, I'm sorry" Ariel looked at the trace of blood flowing from Ayton's chest, and felt a cramp in her heart, and quickly took out a bundle of bandages from her waist to bandage Ayton.

If it weren't for his carelessness, if it wasn't for not controlling his emotions, if it wasn't for his failure to listen to his brother, he wouldn't have been hurt.

Ayton didn't answer, and touched Ariel's head, this was the Ariel he was familiar with, not the Ariel who was happy to kill, but the dwarf almost killed Ariel just now really made him feel annoyed and regretful.

"I'm fine, I should have said I'm sorry, remember that in the future, I will still focus on my own life" Ayton didn't turn around, and cast a shadow arrow with his backhand to end the life of the dwarf who was still thinking about sneaking up.

He didn't want Ariel to stain his hands with blood anymore, so he could only stain it for herself, in this dark cave, there can be no more so-called kindness, with the main goal of protecting himself and Ariel and improving his strength.

What does the life and death of others have to do with me?

"Uh-huh......" Ariel whispered, burying her head in Ayton's arms.

Seeing this, Shaperian sighed: "Forget it, let's end today's training, send these two slaves back to the grain area." ”

Hearing this, the two human slaves in the cage looked happy, they didn't want to die yet......
