In the forest on the outskirts of Crossbell, Rien is demonstrating knife skills to Droplet, while Kia is playing with a few wolf cubs. This is the secret stronghold of the two little girls, and it is also the sphere of influence of the divine wolf's family. With Zeat's men under their care, no one could hurt them.

As for why with a super strong person like Liana to teach, Li En still has to continue teaching?

The answer is very simple, the seventh sister is a miracle, unparalleled in the world (it is the world, there is a goddess in the sky), all kinds of weapons, all kinds of moves, and she is proficient in everything. However, the sword immortal has traveled to the East for decades, and the "Eight Leaves and One Sword Stream" finally created by the masters of the East is by no means idle. Although the seventh sister can give Xiaodi a very high starting point, it is difficult to take care of some subtleties, which requires a senior in the genre to tutor.

"Xiaodi, you are optimistic, this knife is used like this, red leaf cut!" Li En slashed the place, and a section of dead wood was divided into three parts, "Type 4・Red Leaves is a method of continuous slashing, if the wind is the speed of the body, the red leaves are the speed of the knife." The most basic one-knife double cut to one knife six slashes, and then up depends on whether you plan to go further down this road. ”

"Well, is that so?" Xiaodi has the same kind of learning, out of the knife, one knife and three cuts.

"Not bad." Li En picked up the dead wood that had been cut off by the droplets and carefully observed the section, "But the connection between the second and third cuts is a little unsmooth, you see here, if you can do it in one go, the section will be as smooth as a mirror." ”

"Yes, Brother Riene."

"You haven't reached the age of ten yet, you don't need to rush to break through the first pass level, and working hard to practice each type well is the most important thing at the moment."

"Uh-huh!" Droplet is a reassuring good boy. As long as she said it once, she would remember with her heart that this meticulous personality was exactly the same as her father's.

"The types you have mastered now are Type 1 Spiral, Type 2 Wind Blast, Type 5 Waning Moon and Type 6 Senro. Your teacher specializes in spirals, and your father specializes in wind, and I never worry about these two types. You have a good pair of eyes that are unique, and you have the guidance of Mr. Richard, and the mastery of the waning moon is a matter of course. As for Senluo, who has ice elves as the core, it is what you are best at. As for Type 7, you don't have to worry too much about it, and it will take half a year to comprehend it in its current state. Therefore, the focus of your own practice will be on Type 3 Arc Shadow and Type 4 Momiji. It's a pity, these two types of our senior brothers are just good at it, and Teacher Yun also took your aunt to practice, originally thinking that you wouldn't take any detours when laying the foundation. ”

"It's okay." Xiaodi browled her eyebrows, "Mom said that I am already very happy to have so many good teachers, and I can't be greedy." ”

"It's me who is not greedy enough." Lane laughed. Why is this girl loved by so many people without Kia's ability? That's it.

"Your heart is indeed too big. Martial arts will always encounter setbacks, and it is not a good thing to be too smooth in the early stage. A somewhat indifferent voice sounded beside the two of them, and at some point there was a silver-haired young man with gray cannon beside Qiya, who was handing a golden sword to Qiya.

"Yo, Levy, I haven't seen you in a long time." Lane smiled and waved his hand.

"Long time no see." Levi also smiled.

"Didn't the big sister and the three little sisters come?" Droplet asked expectantly.

"They're out of town and won't be back until next month."

Rien vaguely guessed their destination in his mind - the Empire.

"Well, that's right." Xiao Di tilted her head, "Then I'm going to practice hard and try to surprise them next time." ”

"Nice momentum!" Levi praised, "You go to the side and practice first, and I'll talk to Lane for a while." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Di ran to Qi Ya with the knife in her arms.

"Do you know what that adult thinks of Droplet?" After seeing Droplet leave, Levi turned to ask Rien.

"Stunning?"

"That's pretty much it, and -- the person most likely to surpass her."

"It's even higher than you and me, and we're just 'side by side'." Rien smiled even more happily, "Does that adult mean to take in apprentices?" ”

"You still underestimate that adult, it doesn't matter to her whether she takes in an apprenticeship or not. She only hopes that the martial artists of the world can go further in the martial arts, and it would be even better if someone could surpass her. ”

"It's her." Li En was convinced, "Speaking of which, you just handed over the "Rock Eater" to Qi Ya, right?"

"As you can imagine. Miss Tokia's blessing, Karling and Lufina are getting better and better, and maybe one day they will be able to roam freely in the sun. Levy's eyes softened.

"That's great news. By the way, Levi, since it is possible for Kia to grant your wish, then you must protect her well. ”

"Is it the same again?" Levi had a hint of eccentricity on his face.

"Didn't that person say that too? It's true," Riene's face turned odd, "Forget it, the one said it was better, so I didn't have to talk too much." ”

"You," Levi thought for a moment, but continued, "Remind you of one thing, the Empire is about to be in chaos, chaos, you have to be prepared, in every sense. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Lane lowered his head to prevent people from seeing his expression, "Maybe I'll have to rely on your strength when the time comes." ”

"It's incumbent." Levi smiled freely, I owe you favors several times, and this time there should always be a chance to pay it back.

Lane raised a finger slightly—the first chess piece, alive.

Not far away, Qi Ya held the golden sword in both hands, waved it wildly, and had a good time on her own. Xiao Di practiced the knife technique one by one, over and over again, without feeling bored at all.

Perhaps Qi Ya felt that it was boring to play alone, so she shouted "look at the sword" and launched an attack on Xiao Di. Qi Ya has never been exposed to swordsmanship, so there is no discipline to attack at all, and Xiao Di, who has already passed the first level, can deal with it effortlessly. The feet did not move, and a few just right blocks made Qi Ya return in vain.

Qi Ya, who had been unable to attack for a long time, pouted angrily, "hey", a blue light crossed her big eyes, and a sword bypassed Xiaodi's defense like a divine help, forcing her to retreat.

Then, Kia's posture changed. The original unstable lower plate has become stable, and the posture of holding the sword has also become clear-eyed.

I saw her hands crossed, making a standard starting hand in military swordsmanship.

Lien's pupils contracted suddenly.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. As soon as Qi Ya put on a stance, Li En knew that without long-term training, there would be absolutely no way to use this kind of textbook sword.

"Scared, I was scared at first." Levi said, "That's Kia's ability, she can always grasp some wonderful skill or technique for some reason, like suddenly getting someone's experience." ”

"I see." Lai was amazed. He knew the nature of Kia's abilities, and he knew that she had used them months earlier when Lloyd had taught her to cook. It's one thing to just know, it's another to see it with your own eyes.

"The adult and I both thought that there was no need to deliberately teach her any skills, just teach her how to exercise her body and mind."

"It makes sense." Dawn thought so. When the body is strong, the more power it can bear, even if it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the power of the huge spiritual vein, it is still better than nothing. If you are strong-willed, you are less likely to run away in the end. Although this has nothing to do with his plan, he really doesn't want this innocent and lovely girl to suffer such a cruel thing as a heart breakdown. It is true that she was born and took a lot of innocent lives, but it is not her sin, and she should enjoy everything that a child of her age should have.

Adult ambitions and dreams should not be imposed on her, all she wants is a home.

Over there, Kia and Xiaodi were tired and ran to rest under the tree. Eat a little snack and feed your wolf friends who are watching over them.

It's just that such a peaceful and happy life can't last, and in the near future, they will be swept up in the torrent of fate and go to the unknown other.

Hopefully, when it's all over, they'll be able to play carefree like this

"Levy, there's something that needs permission from you and Sister Karling. Joshua should have been asked, but since he had married into Bright's family, he had lost the right to decide. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Actually"
