"Yes, yes, the wood and timber are called small round fruit trees, which can prevent corrosion, moisture and insects, and we use this kind of tree in the places where we store weapons in the mountains," Afra said. No, but this kind of tree is only available in my territory. This smell can't be smelled for a long time, otherwise it will be unconscious, and it will be okay to smell a little, and it can make people sober. The boxes for loading and containing weapons are made of small round fruit trees, and the oil cloth is all oil squeezed from small round fruits, and the seal can keep the sword body for hundreds of years. Encouraged to say more than usual.

Lear opens a wooden box and lifts the oilcloth, revealing ten glittering swords.

Afra glanced at the markings of the box and said, "This—it was built fifty years ago. ”

Lear was startled, examined the long sword carefully, turned his head and asked, "Is it really the long sword from fifty years ago?"

Afra said, "Yes." ”

Lear thought to himself: "I didn't expect to meet a baby, this kind of thing doesn't work much in the north, but in the humid south and even on a cargo ship, it's definitely a good thing." This thing is not worth much here, and if it is shipped to Port Lear, it can be a hundred times more profitable. It's a pity that the traffic here is really a problem, but it's a pity that ......"

He held the long sword in his hand, infused it with golden fighting energy, the long sword emitted a special metallic luster, and after a minute, he withdrew his fighting energy, and the luster of the long sword had changed significantly from the beginning.

Afra covered her mouth in disbelief, speechless in surprise.

One of the two militiamen, a veteran who kept the keys to the warehouse, a blacksmith who was very knowledgeable about weapons, said incredulously: "This...... My lord, can you let me take a look?"

Lear handed it over, and the veteran looked at it repeatedly, then stretched out his hand to flick the sword and said suspiciously: "This is the tenacity sword washing technique, I can't be mistaken." But it is absolutely impossible to complete the sword washing technique so quickly, there must be something wrong. ”

Only then did Lear realize an important problem, that sword washing is not a skill that anyone can master, and that a junior swordsman needs to go through a period of study before he can become a junior sword washer.

The so-called sword washing technique is to constantly infuse the long sword with fighting energy, and use the fighting energy to gradually change the nature of the long sword. The swordsman needs to release the fighting qi as quickly as possible, but the sword washing is the opposite, and the fighting qi needs to be controlled like a slow flow of water, and the long sword needs to be changed gently.

After using the sword washing technique for a long time, the body adapts to the slow-running fighting qi, and there is no way to use the explosive fighting energy, so the sword washing master is not suitable for fighting. Many swordsmen become sword washers when they are old or disabled, and they master a new craft.

A junior sword cleaner at the level of a junior swordsman has a limited amount of fighting energy that can be mobilized every day, and he can only complete the sword washing technique once a month on average, and the fee is about one hundred gold carats each time. This sword washing technique can last for a year, but if you infuse Dou Qi at least once every seven days, then the sword washing technique can last for about ten years.

Lear did what it would take a month for others to accomplish in one minute, which is why Afra and the veteran were so surprised.

He immediately said nonsense: "I am a magic sword washing technique." The effect of this weapon is the same as that of the Tenacity Sword Washing Technique, but it is mixed with my magic power, and it is not just a simple fighting spirit, it is our family's secret sword washing technique. Secondly, the duration of this sword washing technique varies from long to short, and is not fixed. ”

Afra and the militia suddenly realized, and secretly sighed that the Homan Empire was so powerful, and the Crous Empire was too backward.

Lear smiled and said, "I can add sword washing to fifty long swords a day, twenty-five in the morning and twenty in the evening. You find some good swords, and I'll add the sword washing technique. If Pinkov leads men to attack the castle, our chances are greater. ”

"Good, good......" Afra nodded repeatedly.

The veteran said gratefully, "You are amazing, Lord Earl, you are the best little fellow I have ever seen." "The mountains of Belém are poor, and the nobles are better fed and dressed than the commoners, and there are no other privileges, so the commoners here are not as afraid of the nobility as in other regions.

In this kind of poor mountains and bad waters, if the nobles want to live better, they must learn to have a good relationship with these commoners. The veteran also relies on the old and sells the old, and he doesn't care what earl or marquis you are, and a scarce and clever blacksmith like him dares to scold the nobles. The housekeeper Mokel often scolded the sons of the two barons, Pinkov and Andrei, to his face.

The people here revere Lear not because he is an earl, but because he is a powerful swordsman - with the exception of women, of course, who want to marry nobles and want to go crazy.

Another militiaman said, "Lord Lear, as long as Lord Pinkov doesn't make a move, as long as we have you, we can hold this place." ”

Lear said curiously: "I see that you are all preparing to retreat in the castle, even if you don't have the strength to attack Pinkov, why don't you go to a narrow place to start a blocking battle?"

The veteran explained with a smile: "We are different from you in the mountains, there are many rules for fighting between nobles, and you can't hurt civilians who don't participate in the war. If we ambush in a narrow place, and they block the way down the mountain, what will we do in the future? If the three families in the Belém Mountains go to war, they will attack and defend the city in a dignified manner, and they will not play any tricks. ”

Afra also explained seriously: "It's, actually, really, really speaking, Pinkov is my uncle, and my mother's sister's sister is his own sister. The lords of our three families in the Belém Mountains are more or less related by blood. ”

Lear then woke up, it seems that he has thought things simple, this place is very poor, if there is a war all day long, people will run away if they don't just die.

Lear asked, "How long will it take for Pinkov to send troops?"

The veteran thought for a moment and said, "I'll be here in five days at the earliest, and there will be a team of about one hundred and fifty people." Lord Pinkov will never come, and they will not have swordsmen in their ranks, so as long as you are in charge, we will win this battle. If you can catch their private captain, you can exchange it for a ransom. ”

Lear smiled and said, "No wonder you guys aren't panicking at all, so that's the case." By the way, do you have any standard crossbow arrows here?"

The old soldier shook his head and said, "We all use bows and arrows for hunting, never crossbows. ”

"Can you make crossbow arrows, then?"

The veteran proudly said, "Of course. ”

"Well, you can help me make the best crossbow arrows with all my might, five hundred are enough, and in return, I will add sword washing skills to your long sword for free, and at the same time help you defend the castle with all my might. ”

The veteran looked at Afra, who nodded heavily in the sign.

Lear wouldn't give them the magic crossbow unless he had to, after all, the ten magic crossbows he had were carefully crafted, and each cost up to 80,000 gold carats. If hunting or fighting a normal soldier, he is unlikely to use expensive Demon Breaker Arrows or Magic Arrows, and his Dimension Bag does not have normal crossbow arrows.

The veteran chose twenty-five good swords, and Lear added sword washing techniques one by one, and then went back to his room to rest as if he was tired.

In order to prepare for the battle in a few days, he carefully sorted out his dimensional bag, and when he finally checked the magic guide on his body, he found that the golden mask was unusable, and there were cracks on the surface, which was slowly being repaired in the spiritual lake.

Lear knew very well that this saint-level magic guide was powerful, and even if that red-robed high-ranking mage used the strongest magic, he might not be able to break through the golden mask shield. He didn't know what was happening, but he could guess that the Golden Mask had been damaged to protect him during the teleportation.

"In that case, I should have put a few more ring guides on my fingers. I couldn't wear it before, because I was afraid of affecting the control of the sword, but now that I am a junior swordsman, I have a fighting spirit, and that kind of influence is negligible. So he chose a few magic guides to wear on his body to make up for the lack of protection.

After becoming a junior swordsman, he not only needs to be familiar with the operation of Dou Qi, but also to practice advanced swordsmanship, and more importantly, master powerful swordsmanship.

Although the Fighting Qi of a junior swordsman cannot be released for long-range attacks, if it hits an enemy, the Fighting Qi can be transmitted to the enemy's body through the sword body, generating powerful destructive power.

Lear's Book of Swordsmanship contains all the general swordsmanship of the Homan Empire, which he can learn as much as he wants.

He originally wanted to focus on the Golden Fighting Qi, and the Golden Fighting Qi could make the long sword indestructible and sharper, and it would be more lethal when using swordsmanship, but the flaw was also obvious, that is, he needed to create the Golden Sword Technique himself.

He didn't have that much time, and in order to master his sword skills, he could only choose between earth, fire, feng shui.

Depending on the type of fighting spirit, the type of destruction of sword skills is also different. The sword skill of the fire fighting energy produces explosive damage, the fighting energy of water is piercing damage, and the fighting energy of the wind can form cutting damage, while the fighting energy of the earth is relatively unique, and the damage to the body is not large, and the effect is only equivalent to being punched, but if the fighting energy of the earth penetrates into the enemy's body, it can interfere with the operation of the enemy's fighting energy.

Because the destruction method generated by the Dou Qi is different, the method of control is also different, resulting in a variety of sword techniques.

He began to read the Book of Sword Techniques and learn elementary sword skills. There are three hundred and seventy-two sword skills derived from the four kinds of fighting qi of earth, fire, wind, and water, but the book judges the star rating of various sword skills, and he naturally chooses the sword skill with the highest star rating.

He greeted the crowd, and then left the castle alone and went into the forest, ready to use the trees as targets to practice his sword skills.

The trees in the mountains are luxuriant, and it is autumn at this time, and the ground is full of fallen leaves, and the fields are yellow.

Lear didn't know which sword technique was right for him, so he decided to pick eight sword techniques and use them in turn.

The fighting spirit of fire is the most active, and the sword skills are relatively simple, so he first cultivates the "Explosive Thorn" and "Explosive Slash" of the Fire Sword Technique.

He recounted the technique of the Explosive Thorn in his mind, and then slowly poured fighting energy into the long sword. When the fighting qi of the sword body was full, he stabbed forward violently, and at the same time that the tip of the sword hit the big tree, his left foot just stepped on the ground, and the fighting qi accumulated in his body surged into the sword body and surged towards the tip of the sword.

There was a muffled "poof", and the tip of the long sword burst out with a red fighting qi the size of a candlelight, and the bark broke through a small opening.

After all, it was the first time he had successfully used his sword skills, and Lear was particularly excited, and he stepped forward to observe the small opening, and found that the opening had residual heat, which only shook the bark and did not hurt the hard trunk.

The Burst Thorn used by a pinnacle junior swordsman can blast a fist-sized hole in this tree, breaking through the magic shield unleashed by the junior mage in two consecutive hits.

Beginner swordsmen rarely use sword skills in battle unless they can hit with a single hit. Because sword skills consume a lot of fighting energy every time they are used, it is easy to be powerless once they don't hit. However, there is no doubt about the lethality of sword skills, and it often plays a role in determining victory or defeat

Lear repeated the practice more than a dozen times, but there was no significant change in damage, and he still only hurt a small piece of bark. He knew that swordsmanship was easy to learn and difficult to master, so he was not discouraged.

He began to practice the Explosion Slash again, the Explosion Slash is dozens of times more complicated than the Explosion Thorn, because the Explosion Thorn only needs to pour the fighting energy into the tip of the sword, but the Explosion Slash is a sword skill launched in the slash, and it is necessary to let the Fighting Qi explode at the position of hitting the enemy, without a year or two, it is impossible to master, and he decisively gave up.

Then he began to practice the "Condensation Thorn" and "Water Potential Cut" in the Water Sword Technique, and then used the "Slash" and "Sliding Attack" in the Primary Wind Sword Technique, and before he could practice the Earth Sword Technique, there was not much fighting energy left in his body. He sat down to rest, recovering his fighting spirit while thinking about his sword skills.

Unless he becomes a Great Sword Master, the recovery speed of Dou Qi is completely dependent on natural growth, and starting from the Great Sword Master, the Swordsman can slowly absorb the elemental aura outside his body and transform it into his own Dou Qi.

If a junior swordsman keeps using his Dou Qi to fight, his Dou Qi can only last for fifteen minutes, and after the Dou Qi is exhausted, it takes four hundred and fifty minutes, or seven and a half hours, to fully recover. Lear is different, his five Fighting Qi can be restored at the same time, which is equivalent to his recovery speed is five times faster than others.

After recovering some of his fighting spirit, he practiced the "Hammer Strike" and "Broken Slash" of the Earth Sword Technique. Hammer strikes, after hitting an enemy, create a greater area of Fighting Disorder. The Broken Slash is even more powerful, after hitting the enemy's long sword, it can not only interrupt the fighting energy on the sword, but also make the fighting energy of the earth attach to the enemy's long sword, and the enemy needs to consume several times the fighting energy to disperse.

The more Lear practiced, the more excited he became, he originally thought that the so-called sword skills were purely relying on fighting qi to explode around, similar to pure damage magic, but when he really used it, he discovered the wonder of fighting qi, and couldn't help but like sword skills. And these are all elementary sword skills, and there must be something more wonderful about the more advanced sword skills.

"I originally thought that vindictive spirit was not as changeable as magic, but after experiencing it myself, I realized that in fact, whether it is more lethal or wonderful, douqi is no worse than magic, which is the real power. ”

Unfortunately, his fighting spirit quickly ran out and he had to stop practicing sword skills.

"I'll go back to sleep right away, I'll practice in the Sword Heaven and Earth for four hours every day in the future! Four hours of cultivation in the Sword World is more useful than forty hours of cultivation in the outside world!"

Lear returns to the castle and orders his subordinates not to disturb him, and then casts a spell on himself to "sleepy" and falls asleep into the world of swords.

When he is promoted to Swordsman, the sword golem automatically gains the same power as him.

The difference from the outside world is that his vindictiveness here is endless.

Lear looked at the sword puppet and said, "Don't move today, imitate a real person, I'm going to test the damage effect of sword skills on people." Belch...... If you change your appearance, you will become an electric ** master Yang called a beast, I want to think about what he looks like, the more terrifying the better, the more it can inspire my fighting**......"

The sword golem's physiognomy changed with his thoughts, and eventually a terrifying humanoid monster appeared.

"Bold and demonic, this seat will sacrifice your sword today!" Lear saw the face of this monster, and subconsciously took out his sword, stabbing the face of the sword puppet with a sword.

Lear hurriedly withdrew his sword and said to the sword puppet, "I'm sorry sword puppet fellow, the poor earl has lost his temper, he lost his temper......"

The sword puppet slowly regained its appearance, it was the appearance of an earth-shattering ghost god - almost a collection of Yang Beast, Tao Beast, Sister Feng, Furong, Brother Chun, Brother Zeng, Fourth Sister, Aunt Ximen, Song Zude and other Internet celebrities who once left him with deep memories and trauma.

He thought about it and nodded: "Okay, that's it, I won't kill you, I'm sorry for all TV!"

After saying that, he frantically used his sword skills to attack the monster sword puppet.
