Chapter 18: Set off again, aiming for the dark world
When the New Year's bell rings, the time has come to the year 1200 of the Qiyao calendar, and both Li and Elyse are a year old. And Li En, who knows the development of the world line, feels that he is one step closer to the outbreak of civil war.
Li En's current realm is the first pass of the eight leaves and a knife flow, counting the eight types of knife techniques including no hands, a total of seven types have been mastered, and several of them have derived their own changes, but the seventh type is always not allowed to enter, as long as you master this seventh type, you can go directly to the middle transmission, to reach a new level. According to the Sword Immortal, the seventh type does not have a physical sword technique, but a state of mind, without thoughts and thoughts, and naturally without action. This state of mind Li En is not unaware, Buddhism calls it emptiness, Taoism is called leisure, Li En also read the Diamond Sutra and "Zhuangzi" in his previous life, but unfortunately whether it is like glass or leisurely travel is to understand its shape, not its god.
The more anxious he becomes, the more anxious he becomes, the more he can't do it, he knows this truth, but Li En's heart still can't bear to be impetuous. The ethereal state of mind when fighting Laura should be the prototype of nothingness in retrospect, but unfortunately it was short-lived, and only melancholy. In the final analysis, whether it is in the past life or in this life, he is an ordinary person, although he can quickly grasp some things by virtue of accumulation, once it involves the level of self-examination, his performance is no different from ordinary people.
Li En thought he was hiding it well, but how to hide it from his closest family members, after sensing the anxiety in Li En's heart, the whole family took action. The father pulled Li En to compete, the mother was even more cold and warm, and the younger sister did not leave an inch, and no matter how wooden the person was, he would feel the care of his family and find out that he was wrong, so he gradually extinguished the fire of anxiety and enjoyed a rare peace with his family.
When he put down the burden a little, the mood was incredibly calm, and he was handy at everything, and suddenly he realized that he had always hoped to pick up a lot of things, but he forgot that people's bearing capacity is not unlimited, and sometimes he put down and rested for a while, but he could see a different scenery. Wu, who couldn't enter the door, finally opened a gap for him.
After a dull but warm month in Yumir, Rien is about to set off again, and the goal of Rien, who is no longer overly entangled with the middle pass, is to learn how to fight for real this time. No matter how strong a martial artist who has not experienced the line of life and death is, it is only on paper after all, which strong man who has reached the extraordinary has not experienced several times that his life is hanging by a thread. Lane is still a flower in a greenhouse, fighting with Warcraft? No matter how dangerous it is, with the sword immortal by his side, can he really watch himself die? The fight with Laura is just an unreserved competition. The fight with Yun Kawaii, Arios, Lin and others is just being instructed, so this time I have to learn to really fight.
Inexplicably, Riene thought of his future classmate, Faye Croussel, who was born as a hunter in the Zephyr Brigade, and reconciled with Laura in the imperial capital, which seemed to be a draw, but once life and death were in a fight, if any means were used, there was a ninety percent chance that Laura would die in battle. No matter how strong the martial arts are honed, they can't beat the hunters who pin their lives to the waistband of their trousers and know how to fight.
And this time, Lane's destination is still the Republic. The empire does not currently prohibit the existence of chasseurs, but Li En does not have access to relevant information, because chasers are generally hired by the big nobles to engage in off-the-table activities, and it is honestly difficult for a low-ranking nobleman on the border who has withdrawn from the social circle to get information. What's more, the work of the chasseurs is relatively dark, and they plague the empire for no reason, and Li En can't do it.
The republic is different, the existence of the Oriental Street gang gives the chasseurs room to operate, and as a subject of the empire, the chaos of the old enemy republic has no psychological pressure at all, not to mention that one of the two strongest chaser regiments, the Red Constellation, has also been active there for a long time.
Ryne, who had made up his mind, said goodbye to his family again. And this time my sister reacted greatly, yes, just like the promise made to Elyse during the first trip, as long as she reached the realm of noble swordsmanship, Li En would take her with her. Nearly a year of hard work, inherited from her father's excellent swordsmanship talent and uninterrupted hard training, finally allowed Elyse to get her first pass in November last year, and now she has a noble rapier hanging from her waist, officially asking her brother to fulfill his promise.
However, just as Lane had expected, his sister's expectations were completely dismissed by the Baroness. Shu Huaze's family is still different for the education of their son and daughter, and agrees that their son goes out to run around because first, Li En has been calm since he was a child, and since Teacher Dayun came, he has often gone into the mountains for special training, a special training is one or two months, and his ability to take care of himself is reassuring.
And for the daughter, adhering to the ladylike education of the traditional aristocracy of the empire, the cultivation temperament is the first, and the social etiquette is the second. Even Laura S. Yarsid, the future inheritor of Regram's Alsside stream, will most likely not let Viscount Victor go out to practice alone until she reaches adulthood, let alone Elyse Schwarzer, the most important pearl of the Shu Warzer family.
"Don't, don't, I must go with my brother!" Holding back the tears in her eyes, Elyse hugged her brother's arm and remained unmoved by her parents' persuasion.
"Elyse, it's very hard to run around with your brother, and it's normal to go to the mountains to practice, and not take a bath for ten days and half a month." Or the mother has a lot of methods, and things that don't matter to boys are a major disaster for ladies.
"Isn't it just that I don't take a bath for ten days, I'm too" I can't go on, Elyse's face is a little blue, will it stink if I don't take a bath for ten days, and my brother won't like it.
"Also, Elyse, your brother is going to those chaotic areas this time, it is very dangerous, and Dad can't guarantee absolute safety when he goes by himself, if you go with him" Theo received his wife's eyes and began to talk nonsense, but it was exactly what Li En's plan was.
"Woo woo woo, brother, don't go to such a dangerous place, isn't it good to be with Elyse, if you don't have a brother, woo woo woo." Hearing her father's words, Elyse burst into tears, clutching her brother's arm and not letting go.
"It's not okay if you don't go, Teacher Yun put the mystery of the eight leaves there, and the senior brother and the second senior brother got the mystery from there before, how can I not go." Seeing that his parents kept winking at him, Li En decisively lied and sold the teacher by the way, Anyway, Elyse doesn't like you, so you can reluctantly help me carry the black pot.
"Then I won't go this time, but my brother wants to make an agreement with Elyse, and he must come back from there safely, and those who violate the agreement must swallow a thousand needles." Elysée stopped crying a little, and with a slight sob, she held out her little finger and looked at Rien wistfully.
"The hook." Li En felt her sister's mood, her little thumb hooked her little thumb, and her thumbs pressed against each other, it seemed that there was one more reason to go home safely, "As compensation for not being able to take Elyse out, I will definitely bring the cutest puppet as a gift when I come back, okay?" ”
"Hmm." My sister's smile was like an angel. Li En stroked her long hair and smiled gently, no matter how cruel and bloody the dark world is, only with this light in my heart, I will not be lost.
On February 1, 1200 in the year 1200, Rien set out from Uumir again and re-entered the Republic of Calvard two days later. On February 5, he arrived in the most powerful area of the East in the eastern part of the Republic, and the next day became involved in a conflict between indigenous people and immigrants in the local area, using the pretext of protecting the guide as a pretext to show his strength, and began to enter the eyes of local organizations. After three days and several temptations, an invitation appeared in front of him. On February 10, Lane met the Hunter at the headquarters of a medium-sized local gang, and Lane began his journey into the world of darkness.
