Light 11.17-A Chapter: Tacit Understanding(4)

·

You look up to the sky and say: Warriors or paladins are being considered. If you can freely decide the style of weapons and armor, it is better to be a warrior.

"Of course you can!" replied the instructor, "Normally, level 4 warriors can already show the personality differences between the same class, and they can also save money for more suitable equipment for themselves, not to mention that if they really reach level 4, they should be able to have a set of equipment of their own." So, what kind of weapons and armor do you want?"

A spear, preferably a crosshead, does not have to be too long.

The armor is medium-sized, and Level 4 warriors can still move flexibly while wearing medium-sized armor. The two wings of the armor have two special mechanisms: a chain with a hook, starting from the armor near the shoulder blades, about an arm's length and one on the left and right.

"Well, it's not uncommon to add spikes and other attachments to your armor, but ...... "The instructor paused, seemingly giving up on thinking, "I know what you're going to do with a spear, haha, you think dwarves have short limbs and can rely on spears to keep their distance, right? You can't get away with a spear, so give up. ”

Uh-huh,

Before you can make it clear that you are a level 4 warrior, you toss your wand to Annette.

Annette immediately declared, "Mage!"

Then she conjured up a cloth robe, a dagger, and two wands. She throws you a bow and quiver.

You both turn around and walk backwards in unison.

The two dwarves silently kept their distance and followed.

"I see! You're going to use a mage to take control of the field, and then a bow warrior to take advantage of the distance between each other, right?" the instructor laughed, "in vain! ”

You nod your head and say, "Oh, got it, yes."

Then continue to walk backwards.

The two dwarves kept a short distance and followed.

After walking for a while, Annette reached out and touched the transparent wall, which should be the actual wall of the training ground. You have reached the edge of the environment.

"Hmm, are you going to fight with your back to the wall? There are no loiters on the other side, so it doesn't make sense, right?"

You hummed a few times, leaning your back against the wall and waiting.

Annette waved her wand and cast a level 2 spell "Force Field Ladder" to create a transparent ladder and lean against the wall. She began to climb up, and eventually, tilting her head against the ceiling, she sat on top of a ladder about three stories above the ground, choosing a position that was as relaxed as possible, adjusting her breathing, which was still slightly disordered.

"No, no, don't want to delay like this. This is a time for the elders to consider their career choices, not for you to take a break. "The instructor has seen through Annette's delaying tactics and is not allowed to do so, even though it seems reasonable.

You also start climbing ladders,

Reaching a high point close to Annette, you hook your feet on the ladder and roll over to face the enemy. You're almost ready, and you loudly declare yourself a warrior, while your equipment changes as expected - a cross spear, medium-metal armor, and two hooks behind the armor.

Moment!

The two dwarves rushed over like they were running! They had been waiting for a long time to see you and Annette hiding at the top of the force field ladder, out of the way.

You give your bow and two quivers to Annette to hold.

The evil warrior suddenly raised his hand to you, sending out a black ray. Theoretically, you might be able to dodge, but get stuck on a narrow ladder and get hit squarely, dropping the number above your head to 89. The warrior monk runs faster than the evil warrior on his short legs, walks near the bottom of the force field ladder, and throws a throwing knife at you. You flick the spear out of the way, and he starts climbing the ladder and continues to throw the dagger at you, this time a little closer, the dagger piercing your leg and dropping the number above your head to 86.

Faintly, a gloating chuckle came from the sky. Perhaps winning three games in a row has already broken the mentality of the instructors.

Whatever you and Annette plan to climb on the ladder for, there will be no clear advantage.

The dwarven monk climbs the ladder to occupy the hand, and you also have the hand, the two-headed weapon he uses is very long, and yours is also long, and the dwarves can only climb the ladder one by one, losing the advantage of melee two-on-one, but Annette is a mage at ceiling height and cannot help you.

The instructors finally saw the scene of fair fighting, although your position is relatively high, it is easy to hit the dwarf's head, but your feet are also easy to hurt, and you can't get the slightest advantage. That's the end of your cleverness, there's no terrain here, and creating a force field ladder won't work.

"I see! You're going to climb on a high place and use your bow and arrow to suppress the enemy, right? Indeed, these two dwarves don't have long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, but you don't have a chance to change bows! Who is stupid, knowing that they don't rush forward without a bow and crossbow, they won't honestly stand still and be shot by you...... Huh?"

The Dwarven Warrior Monk climbed close enough to actually wield the double-headed weapon in his hand and found it inconvenient to wield a ladder in one hand and a long-handled weapon in the other. He barely raised his hand to partially block your two spear thrusts with a metal rod, leaned back sharply, the door opened away, and he was stabbed in the shoulder with a poof, and hung the prize on the spot.

This injury will not prevent the sturdy dwarves from continuing to fight.

but

You are free to thrust the spear with both hands, and your posture is becoming more and more anti-physical, almost parallel to the ground, and you only rely on your feet to hook the ladder to maintain your balance. At this time, the two dwarves noticed that you had somehow fastened the hook on the back of your armor to the ladder and used it as an auxiliary sling. You can fight with your hands free, but not the Dwarven Monk.

And

This gun head is crossed, it is difficult to tilt and dodge, and you need to raise the weapon every time to dial it. Each shift will be pushed back heavily by the side blades that come out on both sides of the gun head, which especially affects the balance. After fending several shots in a row, the warrior monk almost didn't fall off the ladder.

"Hey, cast spells!" the warrior monk shouted back to his companion.

"It's just a shot, a fart! If it doesn't work, get down, replace me!" the evil warrior crossed his arms and looked up at the battle.

The level 4 evil warrior has just been able to cast spells, a negative energy guide has already bombarded your body, a supreme evil slash is close, and there is only one level 1 spell left, and the difference between low-level saint/evil martial arts and low-level warriors is not obvious.

The warrior monk was in a hurry, his agile fists and feet, and the two-headed weapon that could perform an additional attack were all useless on the ladder, and he could clearly feel that he might not lose if he went head-to-head with you, but now he was suppressed. Again and again, you fend off the spear, but you never get up, and even if you are going to attack your feet, you can curl up one leg, which is something that the warrior monk will never do.

When the monk has three bloody wounds on his arms and shoulders, the weapon is accidentally picked up by you with a spear, far away. "Oops!" shouted that it was not good, and the warrior monk immediately let go of the ladder and stepped on the ladder a few steps in mid-air with the "Yan Luo" body method, landing smoothly on the ground without any fall.

Instead of running to pick up the double-headed weapon, the warrior monk ran to the evil warrior and shouted, "Lend me the hammer!"

"Use your own!"

"I'm not good at one-handed, lend me!" he said, snatching the hammer from the evil warrior's hand and running towards you again. The evil warrior had no choice but to turn around and pick up the double-headed weapon that had fallen on the ground, you tried to replace it with a bow and arrow, how could the warrior monk let you succeed, and immediately threw the last flying knife in his hand. The knives are blocked by your spear at the last minute.

“...... Can't stand it. The instructor muttered, "How long are you going to stay on the ladder?" I've said many times that a mere ladder doesn't give you an advantage, and ...... the Force Field Ladder is only a few minutes in effect. Why bother, isn't it good to be positive?"

Mmmm, you perfunctorily said a few words to the instructor, and then continued to concentrate on wielding your spear against the dwarven warrior monks who persevered in climbing up.

Level 4 warrior monks are not strong enough with their fists and feet, and often use weapons.

In fact, the situation is just like what the instructor said, this time the dwarf who changed to a one-handed hammer has a completely different momentum! He quickly climbed up, and after being shot in the shoulder, he closed the distance between him and you. The tide of events was reversed, he was good for melee combat with a one-handed hammer, and he was so close to you that the spear in your hand became difficult to wield freely, and it was a little in the way. Heavy, and fast attacks keep smashing on the hilt of your gun. I have to say that dwarves with the natural advantages of the strength and endurance race are really suitable for melee classes.

Coldly, Annette asked, "Master, it's almost, right?" Seeing that you nodded, she put a "slippery as grease" on the ladder.

"—?" The warrior monk was quite caught off guard by the sudden lubricating oil, and he was still fighting very vigorously, but he was about to win with a faster attack speed than you, but his palm slipped.

The inertia caused by wielding the one-handed hammer caused his hand holding the ladder to slip, and he stepped on the air under his feet, his chin slammed against the ladder stick, and his nosebleed drew a beautiful arc in the air.

The warrior monk tried to use the "Yan Luo" body technique to step on the ladder again to slow down the momentum of the fall, but the soles of his feet slipped. At the critical moment, the warrior monk turned half a circle in the air with the bonus of "acrobatics", and adjusted his body posture very awesomely! - he was forced to adjust from a head-down posture to a posture in which the golden rooster landed independently and chicly!

Then snap slipping.

Because there is also oil on the ground near the force field ladder. At this moment, there was a short, thick humanoid object lying on its stomach on the ground.

You leap from the ladder.

"Oh no!" the evil warrior saw that something was wrong, and immediately rushed over to help...... And then slipped too!

Gun head down plus your weight,

Pierced directly through the heart of the warrior monk who fell to the ground, killing him in an instant - who had already taken several hits, and his upper body was bare.

The evil warrior looked up and found that his companion was dead,

He yelled and scolded, got up from the ground in embarrassment, and just wanted to rush over and fight with you, but suddenly hesitated.

Because the evil warrior found that what he was holding in his hand was not his usual one-handed hammer, but a double-headed weapon, the former was a simple weapon, but the latter was a different weapon, and he had not practiced it, so he could not use it at all. The worst thing is that even if he barely wields a double-headed weapon, he has to use both hands at the same time, but he still has a shield.

Either throw away the double-headed weapon or throw away the shield, he can't have both!

but

Whichever one is thrown away, he's dead. The shield is good at it, but the dwarven evil warrior can't win with the shield alone, and the double-headed weapon is a weapon, but he can't get used to it.

He looked up at ...... You with cold eyes, and Annette with the same cold eyes and high eyes. Why, things suddenly turned into a pair of twos?

Inspiration!

He's rolling on the grease and stumbling down on the one-handed hammer at your feet!

Climbed a few steps,

You pick up the hammer with your spear and throw it into the distance.

"Fuck you, fuck it!" the dwarven warrior immediately turned back, crawling and crawling, crawling out of the grease range, standing up, throwing away his shield, and furious, "Don't think I can't win with this thing......! Don't think that two to one is a sure win!We dwarves have a natural advantage in spell resistance, especially evil warriors, and that female mage can't kill me even if she throws all the spells over!haha...... Don't even think that you can change your bow, I see that you have prepared two quivers, and I will give you this opportunity?"

During the Evil Warrior's roar, Annette lifts "Slippery as Grease" and slowly climbs down the ladder.

To the dwarves,

used one,

Level 2 "Levitation".

"Eh, eh!" the dwarf waved his hands, finding his feet inexplicably off the ground. He began to struggle frantically, using the negative energy in his body to resist! Just a few centimeters off the ground, he fell to the ground with a thud.

The dwarf's face was full of horror, and his eyes were wide open: "What the hell!

Orthodox dwarves have lived most of their lives in underground cities, and their heads are not the sky, nor can they be. It is often said that when dwarves who decide to become adventurers first come to the surface world, their biggest impression is that they feel like they are going to fall into the sky, and the open-air environment makes it difficult for them to adapt to it for a while. Of course, this doesn't actually make a difference, and I've never seen a brave dwarf scared to go out because of the sky overhead. It's just a moment of discomfort.

For a while.

A brief moment of panic lowered the Dwarven Evil Warrior's immunity, and was then carried into the air by Annette's second "levitation technique".

The dwarf began to shout, waving his hands and feet in vain, unable to move laterally, but slowly rising and rising under Annette's remote control, and finally stopped near the ceiling - if the floater touched the ceiling, he could immediately regain the autonomy to move horizontally at half speed, and in order to prevent this from happening, Annette had already measured the height of the ceiling with her own head.

A great sense of helplessness came over the dwarven evil warriors.

He couldn't even keep his body balanced in mid-air, much like weightlessness.

Seeing you swap your spear for a bow and aim at it, the evil warrior shouted in panic, "Wait a minute, really wait a minute!"

You shoot an arrow at him. The arrow is blocked by a double-headed weapon. However, any swing of the weapon made it more difficult for the dwarf to maintain his position, and he began to spin in mid-air, unable to distinguish between up, down, left, and right.

You aim slowly at the helpless guy in the sky, shoot slowly. Annette reminded in a low voice, "Master, you shoot an arrow in about five seconds, and the time limit for levitation is about four minutes. Please solve it within forty-eight arrows. ”

Forty-Eight Arrows......

No wonder two quivers are needed.

In fact, you used a total of more than 20 arrows to shoot the guy floating in mid-air into a porcupine, a veritable hanging. If the evil warrior had a shield, things might have turned out differently, but he threw it away.

The enemy gasped and remained motionless in mid-air. The force field ladder is long gone. Annette's large number of spells reserved in case the evil warrior suddenly broke free could not be used.

Including the instructor who came every time he was confused, he had nothing to say this time. Your unilateral action of shooting the enemy to death is cruel. Dwarves are a race that is born to be melee combat, one is heavily defensive, and the other is sensitive, and if you and Annette go head-to-head with each other, you will definitely get into a bitter battle.

For a long time,

The instructor's weak voice came: "...... Let me just ask, what would you do if the evil warrior hadn't exchanged weapons with his companions at that time?

It's all the same,

If the opponent holds a shield, he will lower the levitation height to a height that the spear can just pierce, but the one-handed hammer just can't hit, and still hang unilaterally.

“...... We have been an instructor in the market for so many years, and you are not the first to win four simulated battles in a row, but the guy who can win five games in a row has not yet been born. Forced us to make a trick...... You're not going to win the fifth, absolutely!"

With that, your surroundings become pitch black, and you can't see your fingers. As is customary, this is the rhythm of changing the environment and the enemies.

Why is it so dark?

In the past, the surrounding scenery was gradually changing.

"Please walk to the edge of the training ground and keep plenty of distance from the enemy. The instructor said.

You do, groping your way through the darkness. Luckily, it's all flat all around, and you're not far from the wall.

After a few seconds, the surroundings lit up.

I was able to see clearly.

The environment around you is once again the real nature of the training ground, spacious and flat, except that there are no weapons racks or other clutter, and the surrounding light is slightly dim - you can see clearly, but it's enough for the wanderer to sneak around.

The enemy you're facing......

Damn it

It became six people, including you and Annette, in pairs, a total of four groups evenly scattered around the four walls of the room. Of course, you and Annette are not dyed in any color, the two enemies on the left are dyed red, the one in front is yellow, and the one on the right is blue. It's already very difficult to make two or four, and now it's actually going to let you and Annette two or six? This is not the kind of novel where the protagonist opens and sweeps thousands of armies, impossible.

...... Well?

If you look closely......

Those six are all replica phantoms of you and Annette. Red on the left, you're the Paladin, Annette is the Wanderer, yellow on the front, you're the Wanderer, Annette is the Warrior, and in the blue on the right, you're the Priest, and Annette is the Barbarian. A familiar match.

Is this going to make you both beat yourself up?

And there's no roulette wheel around you.

The instructor explained: "In the last game, no one has won so far. As the saying goes, the most powerful opponent is yourself. We collected the data from the first three battles in the Illusion and referenced it to the Phantom. You should already be aware of it, right? The Phantom is based on a real battle that has taken place before, and the same goes for you, of course. It's a pity that I didn't have time to collect the ...... for the torture just now," the instructor muttered in a low voice, "Please come on for the last one." By the way, the rules have been changed, four groups, free play. It is recommended that the Elder first pick a group as the enemy, and the opposite side will fight in pairs, and then the rest will face you. ”

Fortunately, it was not two against six, it was still two against four, and even four enemies were arranged for two rounds.

No one has ever won? It's a little bit less difficult than it used to be -- you look at the replica phantoms around you and wonder if the hardest opponent to defeat is really you?

You look at Annette beside you,

Annette motions for you to choose a profession first, and she cooperates.

You look up and shout to the instructor, "Last question!"

"No, not really. The only way to change the rules is to play freely in teams of two, and each other is an enemy. ”

Nodding,

In the final battle, he was the enemy of the Phantom who copied himself. Level 5 class, what are you going to announce this time?

A, Warrior

B, Paladin

C, Wanderer

D, Pastor

E, Mage

Which side of the enemy do you plan to prioritize as your opponent?

1. Red copy phantom, you are the paladin Annette is the wanderer.

2. Yellow copy phantom, you are the wanderer Annette is a warrior.

3. Blue Copy Phantom, you are the priest Annette is a barbarian.
