Chapter Ninety-Six: The Mail Carriage
"This ...... What does that feel like? ”
Looking at the black cloth umbrella in his hand in a daze, Herman felt a familiar touch, but this familiarity did not come from the umbrella itself, but from a cold, sharp sword. The name of that sword is called the Three-Foot Sword!
Gently stroking the umbrella, Herman seemed to have no focus in his eyes: "Are you coming with you, Sanchi!" ”
"Okay, that's amazing......"
What I thought was a coward suddenly turned into a powerful warrior, and such a warrior could easily drive away all the Anton and his gang who were powerful in the ranch with just an umbrella. Such a change shocked all the people in the entire canteen and thought they were dreaming, so for a while, the entire canteen was eerily quiet.
Just quietly looking at the young man holding the umbrella in the corner of the wall in a daze, but compared to others, as Herman's friend, Martin's impact is more powerful.
In his heart, although Herman has the blood of a young man, his own nutrition has not kept up, and he has never been the main force when fighting, and even needs him and Bach to save many times. The only good thing is that because his body is relatively thin, he is very fast, and there are often people who want to beat him, and there are very few who can even catch up with his speed.
So when he was in trouble, Martin would subconsciously ask Herman to go to Bach, and never thought of staying with Herman to fight together. Because he knew that in this case, they would definitely lose.
But he really didn't expect that Herman would have such a powerful combat power. Just with an umbrella, he can force Anton back. And unlike the others, he likes to learn the art of martial arts because he is going to join the army. In addition, the conditions at home are not too bad, so there are many skills to learn, including swordsmanship.
It was also because he had studied that he knew how powerful Herman was with the move that broke out just now. It can be said quite simply, if it weren't for Herman's hand being an umbrella without a tip, replaced by any other kind of sharpness, the move just now could easily slash through Anton's throat.
Although swordsmanship is powerful, it is difficult to learn, unlike street brawls, and any brick can be used as a weapon. But swordsmanship is different, swordsmanship has its own system, and without a solid foundation, it is simply impossible to exert the power of swordsmanship.
You must know that the sharper the weapon, in addition to killing the enemy, the more damage it will do to yourself. If the sword is not used well, then the first person to be injured is himself. According to him, Herman's sword skills just now have clearly reached a very high level.
Although it was not a long sword, but just an umbrella, the light that passed by just now was not seen by ordinary people at all. Why was Anton swept directly by the tip of the umbrella without dodging? As a normal person, when encountering danger, the first reaction must be to avoid it. Not to mention Anton, who often troubles others and often has to fight, his physical fitness and reflexes are definitely above ordinary people. But he didn't dodge.
Of course not, because he simply had no way to dodge.
After Herman hit Anton's arm with an umbrella to block his attack, the umbrella in his hand quickly stabbed at Anton's neck in an instant. It was so fast that it was almost beyond what the human eye could see, and by the time Anton tried to dodge again, the tip of the umbrella had already crossed his neck.
It's not that he doesn't want to dodge, it's that he can't dodge anymore. To be able to burst out with such swordsmanship skills, as well as such powerful speed, ordinary people can't do it at all. Those who can do this are also very few in the entire imperial army, and such a person is definitely worthy of the title of the king of soldiers. If placed in the knight era of war armor and war horses, such people are worthy of being the most powerful weapons in the entire empire, and exist as a killing weapon.
Although Anton is brave and ruthless, he is not a brainless person, and he knows what kind of gap he has with such a person. Once the persecution continues, the other party will change another weapon, even if it is a simple fork, and he may have to lie down today.
In today's special day, Anton doesn't want to miss the distance. That's why he left directly with his men, and he didn't even say the last cruel words, he was conquered by Herman.
Not only Anton, but even Martin was not, so after his chest was a little better, he hurriedly stood up and looked at the teenager who was in a daze, and then he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"What?" Hearing his friend's voice, Herman was slightly stunned and woke up from the realm just now.
"I said you are so good at swordsmanship, we have lived for so long, I didn't even know that you were still a master of swordsmanship!" Martin's face was excited, whether it was a master by his side, or because of Herman in the future, no one would trouble them again, it was a very happy thing.
But at the same time, he was still a little puzzled: "By the way, Herman, what were you talking about just now?" Why didn't I get it? What is the language? ”
"What did I say?" Herman was even more strange, he only knew the language of the Empire, and he said that, how could Martin not know?
"What you just said!" Martin looked at Herman with a strange expression!
"What did I say? I didn't say it! Herman was even more puzzled: "By the way, just now you said that I am a master of swordsmanship, I am really joking, how can I use a sword!" ”
"You're still pretending to be with me!" Martin looked 'disgusted', "Just now your superb swordsmanship drove Anton away, you still told me that you don't understand swordsmanship, we are such a good brother, I don't learn swordsmanship from you, there is no need to hide it!" ”
"Swordsmanship? I really won't! Herman looked innocent.
"Still pretending?" Martin glared at Herman and said, "You still pretend to me, if you don't know swordsmanship, then what are you holding in your hand?" ”
"On hand?" Hearing this, Herman looked down at what he was doing.
The long sword more than a meter long was lying quietly in his hand, and his right hand was unconsciously stroking the entire sword. The blade of the sword was slightly dull as if it had not been opened, but the entire body of the sword shone with a cold light, and in the darkness, the whole light was even darker and deeper!
"This, this, this...... What the? ”
Herman took a step back in fright, and the walls seemed to suddenly become transparent. I took a step back, and there was nothing in my way.
The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "dang ......", and the long sword rolled around a few times, and finally turned into a white smoke with a 'bang'.
"Herman, Herman, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Herman, who suddenly turned pale in front of him, Martin hurriedly shouted loudly.
Martin's voice made Herman turn his head again, and it was the familiar dining room again, and the crowd that was gradually dispersing in the distance, but looking at him with a curious look, Martin in front of him who was looking nervously at him, and ......
Lowering his head, a black umbrella in his hand was quietly held in the palm of his hand. Seeing this umbrella, he seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and he couldn't help but retreat.
But the hard wall behind him told him that there was no way back. Turning around and looking at the white wall in front of him, Herman relaxed slightly.
"I ...... I'm fine! Slightly flustered, he hung the umbrella on the wall again, and Herman hurried outside.
The sun was shining quietly from the sky, and when he walked out of the cafeteria and greeted the sun, Herman's body suddenly became warm, and his expression seemed to be relaxed.
"Herman, why are you walking so fast? Skipping a meal? Martin behind him quickly followed.
"Martin, I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired, so I want to go back and get some rest!" Herman said reluctantly.
What happened last night and today made him a little overwhelmed as a teenager. Only now did he realize that everything in the dream was real, he was once or the god who was surrounded by blood, and the fight of that figure in the dream was everything he had experienced.
He didn't know who he used to be, or why he was the way he was. But he knew that he was Herman now, and he didn't want to be another person, and he didn't want another person to be him.
It's like Lieutenant Maitreya once said that he is the most unique in this world, but what happened today is beyond his imagination.
The sudden dream, the pitch-black space in his head, the blood-colored figure, the three-foot sword that suddenly appeared in his hand, and the sudden increase in strength in danger, all of this seemed to tell him. He is slowly accepting everything from the other party.
No, or rather, the other person is slowly feeding everything back into this body. Strength, thought, or maybe there's a final ...... Soul.
What happens when the soul is taken away? Herman didn't know if he would die, or if he would become a madman who could not think only with his physical instincts, or would he become the mysterious sect of the hostile empire, and that a person would go to heaven after death? Or hell?
None of this is clear to Herman, and he doesn't want to. Because now he just wants to escape all this alone and go to a place where there is no one. Thinking about it, whether to resist or compromise, he actually doesn't know.
"Feeling a little tired? That really is a break! But Herman, I think we'd better wait a bit! Martin on the side said.
"What's wrong?" Herman also seemed to remember that today was a very important day, so although he was confused, he stopped.
"Don't you remember? Today is the day when the mail-drawn carriage arrives at the pasture. Didn't you say last time that you wrote a letter to your family? Maybe there will be a reply this time, right? Martin reminded.
"Post...... Carriage? Herman was shocked, and the figure in his mind seemed to be clearer again.
