Chapter XVI The Red Sea

William's current physical fitness is really beyond his reach in his previous life, the human body's reflex action is guided by a series of links, including but not limited to the spine, brain, muscle nerves, etc., the mysterious space gives him a special specialty "lightning reflex", which not only transforms his instantaneous reaction ability, but even improves his coordination, and learning swordsmanship is twice the result with half the effort.

Many swordsmanship moves and essentials, William only needs to watch them once, and he can basically imitate them in a standard manner. If it's just rote memorization, William thinks that he can do it in his previous life, and many people with flexible minds are probably about the same, but to achieve almost the same movements, it is not so simple to achieve the eyes and hearts to the end into hands, this kind of talent is probably not much better than some professional athletes in the previous life, and even surpassed.

However, just like in previous lives, the best athletes never rely on their own talent, but also on hard training day in and day out, or in other words, only hard training can bring out the best in an athlete's talent.

And although swordsmanship relies on talent, but in the process of progress, there are not too many ways to trick up, even in the fantasy world, it can't change the fact that improving physical fitness is basically composed of a large number of high-intensity mechanical training, constantly repeating monotonous and boring repetitive movements, and there will not be much fun at all, which is not only a kind of training for physical fitness, but also for will, especially for teenagers and even children who have a heartbeat.

And one of William's great strengths is that he has an adult mature soul in his body.

……

At night, William, who had fallen asleep, once again came to the place he called Destiny Square.

After many days of traveling, the square has also changed, and finally a road has appeared at one end, and similar to the square, the road that appears this time is different from the first one.

In addition to the dirt road turning into a stone path, the wooden signs into stone monuments, and the guardrails on both sides of the road—although William felt useless, the low wooden guardrails only reached the base of his thighs, and he could be climbed over with a slight flip, but what prevented him from doing so was the thick darkness around the road.

At the entrance of the road, there was still a seemingly thin but undispellable fog that prevented William from entering.

William walked over to the stele and looked at what the new quest was all about.

[Sword Wizard], to get to the apex, it takes not only hard work, but also talent. There are many ways to pursue power, and if you choose swordsmanship, please complete the promotion of the skill specialty "Introductory Swordsmanship" in the training of the dojo.

Required: Skill Specialty "Introductory Swordsmanship", Background Specialty "Apprentice of the Isshin Dojo".

Reward: Special Specialty "Zen Swordsmanship".

William was a little surprised by the fact that the need for the task was no longer the thread of fate, and he wondered if this was the only task, or if each mission would change depending on the situation.

He had already obtained the skill specialty "Introductory Swordsmanship", but he couldn't figure out the background expertise that suddenly appeared, and he didn't know how to get it, but this task coincided with his plan to spend time in the dojo to learn swordsmanship, and he didn't need to see other road quests, so William tended to choose this path, he could only grope to find a way to get the background specialty, or wait for the other paths to appear one by one, and then choose another task.

……

In the blink of an eye, William and the others had been studying in the Yixin Dojo for two months, during which time William had bought many books on navigation in addition to learning swords, and had time to learn navigation.

The popularity of education in this world is far less than William's previous life, taking William's small gang as an example, among the four people, only William and Alamis, two people who had no worries about food and clothing before the accident, are not illiterate, and Edmund, who has been in frequent contact with William recently and has a tendency to integrate into their small gang, is almost illiterate, can only use common words, and often admits mistakes and writes mistakes, which is still thanks to the blessing that he lives in the Yixin Dojo, otherwise with the family situation that his mother died early and his father went to sea and never returned, how could anyone think of letting him read and write。

As far as William's situation is concerned, there is no compulsory education policy, and only families who solve the problem of food and clothing will consider letting their children receive basic education, and only families with middle class or above, financial resources at home, and parents with a certain amount of insight will probably provide children with time, energy and money to learn professional knowledge such as navigation and medicine, in addition to family education that is passed down from generation to generation by relevant professionals.

Under normal circumstances, people from such families would not think of being pirates, even in William's previous life, people like navigators were also skilled talents, and in the environment where maritime trade was prevalent all over the islands, this kind of talent was in short supply, and they could easily find jobs on various merchant ships, not to mention that some people might have merchant ships at home.

They are an important part of today's maritime business, and the number of navigators who are willing to become pirates is much smaller, and good navigators are even less likely to come across.

Knowing the above situation, it is not difficult to understand why William immersed himself in studying most of the books and learning navigation when he was already very tired from practicing swordsmanship every day.

In the past, the navigator who was responsible for leading the voyage of the fleet was extremely high, and in many cases the status of the captain was second only to the captain, especially in the period when science was not developed, and the seemingly unpredictable seafaring skills gave the navigator a certain mystery, so that they could sometimes serve as a priest and psychiatrist, soothing the troubled mood of the seafarers.

Whether it is because of his indispensable ability to lead or the comfort of the seafarers, the navigator has a great influence among the crew, and the captain wants to control the whole ship, and the support of the navigator is indispensable.

Although this world is a place that can defeat a hundred enemies, unlike the earth in William's previous life, the captain's personal force is often enough to subdue a whole ship, and the threat brought by the prestige of navigators is lower than in the previous life, but there is no doubt that this position is still very important, and you can fight again on the vast sea, and you can only wait for death if you don't eat or drink.

With navigational skills, it will be much more convenient for William to set up his own pirate group to go to sea in the future, or choose to join other pirate groups to occupy the magpie's nest.

Only by arming the body with swordsmanship and arming the mind with navigation can you better gain a foothold on the sea.

After all, in the veritable "Red Sea" industry of pirates, if you want to get out of the way, William can't afford to have any luck.

In addition to dealing with the pursuit of the navy, the plots of bounty hunters, and even the dumping of their peers, pirates have to be enemies everywhere on this sea.

The experience of the Denton Pirates taught William that he failed miserably in this industry, and in the end, he not only lost his job, but also probably lost his life!
