Chapter 9: Learning the Sword
Early the next morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The fog had not yet subsided, and it was still very quiet.
Commander Hieroni and I stood in the woods not far from the camp.
The regimental commander is teaching me swordsmanship.
"Actually, I don't have much to teach you now," said the regimental commander after a short fight with me and confirming my strength, "Boss Bai has taught you to change into a heavy sword and has improved your strength a lot-I'm ashamed of this, I didn't find it-and just like Nabal said, in the future, you can become stronger if you gradually integrate the swordsmanship you have learned into your swordsmanship, but this is the accumulation of experience that takes a long time, not that you can become stronger if you want to become stronger now, that masked man - if it is really as terrifying as you described, Maybe I won't be able to win either. The regimental leader shook his head, "If you want to say that the only thing I can teach you now is Pandy to build the final sword technique of the sword technique, maybe you can use this to crack his sword moves." It's up to you whether you can learn it or not - first let's review the sword skills you know how to use now."
"Yes!" I saluted the regimental commander according to the rules of learning swords.
The three styles of the Meteor Sword that emphasize speed.
Meteor Sword * Surge: A close-range thrust technique, with a quick five-in-one thrust in front of you.
Meteor Sword * Break: Close slash technique, three horizontal slashes in front of you.
Meteor Sword* Disease: Long-distance off-hand sword skill, long-distance straight-line killing skill.
The three-style meteor sword can be combined into a high-speed special move - the meteor sword triple attack.
A two-style moonlight sword that values strength
Moonlight Sword* Flash: A long-range killing technique that uses a blade-shaped shockwave to damage enemies from a distance.
Moonlight Sword* Shock: A close-range defense breaking technique, swinging the sword with all your strength to hit the enemy and the shockwave generated by hitting the enemy shocks the enemy.
"These are the five sword skills you know now," the regimental leader looked at me after performing the standard five moves in front of me, "Judging by your experience, you should be able to spot the shortcomings, right?" What makes up for the shortcomings is the sword skills you're about to learn. β
"Probably...... I remember the head of the regiment you said, the meteor sword attaches importance to speed and hit, and the moonlight sword attaches importance to destructive power, although there are meteor sword * disease and moonlight sword * flash as their respective supplements, but it always feels like something is missing, the meteor sword * disease is a sword from the hand, and it can only be used once, and the moonlight sword * flash as a long-range high-speed attack, it does make up for the defect of the slow speed of the moonlight sword, but the destructive power is too weak, of course, it may be related to the fact that I didn't learn the moonlight sword * explosion. β
"Well," the head nodded, "The Moonlight Sword relies on the shock wave when the sword is swung, and the mid-range attack technique Moonlight Sword *Burst can indeed make up for the disadvantage of the Moonlight Sword, and the power of the Moonlight Sword*Explosion is somewhere between flash and shock - what do you think is missing?" β
"One hit? It seems that neither the Meteor Sword's special move nor the Moonlight Sword's three-sword slash may constitute a special move to achieve this effect......"
"That's right, the key to victory or defeat is missing!" The regiment leader faced the trees in front of him, "Look at it, this is the final technique of Pan Dee to build a sword technique - Sun Sword * Extreme!" β
I saw that the regiment commander instantly struck five spurts at the trees.
The tree grain did not move at all, but the trunk had five more sword marks.
"Isn't this a Meteor Sword Rush?" I wondered, "Huh?!" β
Before he could finish speaking, the tree suddenly burst open in the middle and exploded into pieces in an instant.
"What's going on??"
"Don't understand?" The regimental commander glanced at me with a smile and walked to another tree, "One more time, look at it - the Sun Sword * Pole!" β
This time, the regiment commander slashed at the trunk three times in a row.
It was so similar to the Meteor Sword*Break, and in the same way, the trunk burst again at the horizontal slash.
"Do you understand this time?"
ββ¦β¦ Are they all sun swords* poles? β
"Well, do you need me to demonstrate it again? You shouldn't be able to do that, right? β
"No," I somewhat understood, "could it be that the use of shockwaves in the Moonlight Sword is fused into the Meteor Sword?" Generating a destructive shockwave in such a high-speed sword technique? How is it possible? β
"You need to practice it again and again-you're right, in fact, the Moonlight Sword and the Meteor Sword are just practice moves for the Sun Sword," the regiment leader nodded with satisfaction, "The Meteor Sword that emphasizes speed and the Moonlight Sword that emphasizes destruction are just for the birth of the Sun Sword in the end-yes, I understood when I saw the second form, and it didn't disappoint me." β
ββ¦β¦β
"The masked man's sword moves are fast, but they can't break the barrier, which is enough to prove that he sacrificed his strength in order to value the speed of the sword, and the destructive power of the Sun Sword* is enough to destroy him, if you meet another masked man. Okay, let's practice diligently, it took me three years to wield the Sun Sword after I learned the Moonlight Sword* to explode, huh...... Thresteen Roktar! β
"Huh? Be! Unexpectedly, the head of the regiment called out his full name, and I reflexively straightened my body.
"Ahh
ββ¦β¦β
"Well, you should know that I'm not referring to my brother's feelings for my sister," the head of the regiment stared at him with his grim gaze, "isn't it?!" β
"Yes!" I plucked up the courage and answered frankly.
"Have you ever thought about taking her away? Like Rusya? β
"Me? I can't-"
"I'm not asking you if you can!" The head of the regiment waved his hand, and his tone suddenly softened, "I also know about your concerns, as if I ......"
"Commander, you?"
"Ugh!" The head of the regiment looked at me for a long time, and finally smiled to himself, "Hmm! I was just as troubled as you were back then! Questions?! β
ββ¦β¦ Not. β
ββ¦β¦ It's been four years, Lacey, you're like my son, and I'll rest assured if I give Sakura to you. β
"But the captainβ"
"Let me finish!" The head of the regiment knocked me on the hand, "Don't interject!" Where did you just go? Oh! From the time I found you four years ago, I had the feeling that you would be inextricably linked to Sakura's fate, no, maybe Sakura's mother, who you should know was from the East. Now that Sakura has learned Taoism, and there are a lot of things happening around you that have something to do with the East, I'm even more sure that I feel right! β
ββ¦β¦β
"Of course, this is all illusory, as a father, I know my daughter better than you - Sakura loves you too, I believe you know it too, but this child is too kind, she will definitely not try to fight for it if you show mercy everywhere like this - Lacey, do you really think it is best for her to keep her in the Wind Riding Regiment?"
"I ......"
"I saved Sakurayuki when I was a civilian, and she was supposed to go back to the East, but she volunteered to be with me, regardless of blood or identity, and volunteered to fight with me everywhere - she said, this is her happiness, you know? Sakura: This child is very similar to her mother. β
"Oh, that's the head of the regiment."
"Well, let's be realistic, in this world that values bloodline and status, how many people do you think can not mind Sakura's Eastern blood? Who better than you to protect Sakura? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Of course I didn't tell you to give up Rusya for Sakura, Sakura doesn't mind what I mind? Lacey, as Sakura's father, I really want to see you together. β
"I, I don't have ......confidence," I shook my head silently, "and you know, Captain, my curseβ"
"I didn't have that confidence back thenβthis is proof that you think too much of Sakura, don't you worry about your curse, aren't you all trying to find a way for you," the head of the regiment looked at me solemnly again, "I'll just ask you one last thing, Thresteen Roktar!" Do you love Sakura?! β
"Love!"
"Louder!"
"Love-!"
"Good!" The head of the regiment nodded approvingly, and then changed the subject, "Well, give you a year, and if you can't use the Sun Sword Pole in a year-huh!" Don't blame me for not giving you a chance to take my daughter! β
"Huh?" I froze for a while and screamed, "Hey! Captain, you just decided, right? You definitely just decided! How can you do that? You were called a genius in swordsmanship! How can I use one year to reach the level that it took you three years to reach the regiment commander?! β
"Isn't it too cheap not to set some difficulty for you, you kid?" The head of the regiment smiled evilly, "Don't worry, I take good care of you - you can use the heavy sword to use the faster meteor sword, the foundation is much better than that of me back then, originally I wanted to set you half a year, but now it's a year, it's already very relaxed." β
"You yourself say it takes a lot of practice! Where is enough time to practice in a year? And you haven't taught me the Moonlight Sword *Explosion yet! β
"Moonlight Sword * Explosion still needs me to teach?! Do you remember the basic sword type? There are two important conditions for sending out a Moonlight Sword* explosion - speed and strength Now that you have them, do you still need me to teach them? - Haven't you tried it yourself? Why are you acting like an idiot at this time?! β
"I shouldn't have come today, I feel like I've been tricked." I sighed and muttered.
"No more nonsense! Go back and prepare, an hour later, the regiment commander's room! β
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
"Hey! Red-eyed idiot, try this dress? Miss Ben specially picked it for you~ Impressed, right? Feed! Talking? ββWhy are you so upset? β
Glad? Early in the morning, I was given an almost impossible task by the regiment commander, and by the way, I was tricked by him, and as soon as I returned to the camp, I saw this purple man holding an exaggerated aristocratic costume and asked me to wear it, and there was a Rusya who made me feel distressed nearby (she looked like she saw an oasis in the desert and wanted to pounce on me immediately, but she was blocked behind by Lagersis, and she was about to cry)
- How can you be happy?
"Rusya," I ignored her, walked straight to Rusya, took her hand, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?" β
Rusya didn't speak, but looked up at me blankly, tears of grievance dripping down her face.
"Fool......" I reached out and rubbed her head, then tried to hold her in my arms.
But Lagersis took the opportunity to force her clothes over: "Come on~ Red-eyed idiot, try it~~"
I looked at her with a frown: "Miss, I'm just an ordinary swordsman, do you think that noble suit will be suitable?" β
"How does it not fit?!" Lagersis kicked out, "Red-eyed idiot, you were a nobleman in the first place!" You wore clothes like this when you were a kid! β
"When you were a child?" Hazyly, it seems that there is some impression.
"It's nothingβget up! Put it on Miss Ben! Lagersis kicked again.
"Whatever I used to be? ββDon't wear it! I stood up angrily, "Is that dress for acting?" How do you fight with that? β
"Idiot! Who wants you to fight~ There is a palace banquet in the evening......" Lagersis defended, "Father will go too-"
"What does the palace banquet have to do with me? ββWould you like to ask me to participate? Joke! I got even more impatient and put my arm around Rusya, "I'm sorry! Today I'm going to enjoy being sucked by Ruthya's blood - not going anywhere! Where are you bastard princess going! Don't bother us! β
"You!" Lagers's eyes widened for a long time, then her eyes turned red and she shouted at me, "You bastard!!" You idiot!! Why does Miss Ben ...... Why...... I'm a princess!! Then he glanced at Ruthya hatefully, "It's all you...... It's all yours!!! β
After saying that, she ran away crying.
"......: Why does this scene seem similar? It seems that something similar has happened before - I tried to think about it, but it was always a hazy impression that I couldn't remember.
"Lacey, you've gone too far!" Ruth pulled my hand, "The princess is actually very good to you. Then she pulled out a bag, "This is the normal dress she picked for you yesterday." β
Taking the bag, I sighed, "That purple race!" Won't it be over if you just give me this? What kind of aristocratic attireβ"
"Lacey! Why did the princess run away crying? What did you do? her off again? Sakura walked over suspiciously, looking very dissatisfied.
"Ugh! Nothing, really nothing, not on purposeβ" I scratched my head.
"Really?" Sakura tilted her head to look at me, clearly not believing what I said, "It really wasn't intentionalβ?" β
"Really!" I was a little flustered, and whenever Sakura looked at me like that, it meant that she was angry with me, "It's just, it's just...... Accustomed to it - yes, yes, it's used to it, I always feel like I should treat her like this. β
"Habit?" Sakura frowned and said to herself, "Habit, alas, the princess is also very hard." Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you - but try to be nice to the princess in the future~"
ββ¦β¦ Why did you let me go so easily? I looked at Sakura in surprise, "Did Lagersis tell you something?" She just said I was a kid -- did I see her when I was a kid? Thinking back to the feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu just now, "Is that how I treated her back then?" β
"This ...... It's better for the princess to tell you in person, but, as a girl, sister, I still hope you can remember it yourself. β
