Volume 2 Astia Chapter 16, The Ghost and Rasen
Luo Sheng came to the knight training center in Fort Risheria with the Knight Commander of Yánet, thinking that there would be all kinds of black technology and various advanced training facilities here.
But Luo Sheng entered the courtyard and glanced at it, and asked the knight commander beside him, "This is where the adults live?"
There is a circle of straight trees planted around this courtyard, and under the courtyard wall on the right, there is a shallow ditch passing through the courtyard, and several greedy people are sitting by the water and looking at the courtyard, which is a whole open space, more than sixty meters long and wide.
In the clearing, there was nothing but some irregular stones used for heavy lifting and sparse standing and upside-down wooden stakes.
At this moment, there are two strong men, attacking each other punch after punch in the field, and the fists hit the strong muscles, making a dull sound of "bang bang".
"Haha...... A little disappointed?" "What kind of person is Captain Janette, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has been an adventurer for a long time, how can he not understand the meaning of his words.
"Pretty good...... This one...... The stake should be very strong,......" Luo Sheng lightly thumped his left hand.
Unexpectedly, the stake fell directly to the ground, raising a lot of sand, he looked embarrassed, it turned out that the bottom of the stake was not planted in the soil at all, just placed in the sand at will, with a slight force, it would fall down, no wonder there were many stakes on the sand.
"This stone...... It should be very strong...... "Luo Sheng bent down, and with a lot of effort with both hands, the stone just shook a little, and immediately fell again, but pulled Luo Sheng to a stumbling side.
Don't look at the length and width of this stone is only forty centimeters, the weight is not light, Luo Sheng estimated that it weighed four or five hundred catties, and he had to work hard to lift it.
Luo Sheng refused to admit defeat, spat in his hands, rubbing and bending over.
"Hey!" he lifted the stone for a full ten seconds before throwing it forward with both hands, and the stone smashed into a small nest in the sand.
"Come, come...... Come on, everybody. As soon as Captain Janette shouted, all the men on the sidelines of the field came over quickly.
Looking at these people from a distance, Luo Sheng didn't feel anything, and when they got closer, they saw that these people were all big-shouldered and round-waisted, shirtless, shining with sweat in the sun.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Luo Sheng, the knight of the Demon Sword Squad, he will be with you for two months of training here, you are his senior brother......"
"This is Li Sujia, the knight of the Yunxiao Squad......"
"Hello Senior Brother Li!"
"This is Renas, the knight of the Unforgiving Squad......"
"Hello Senior Brother Lei!"
"This is also the knight of the Unforgiving Squad, Zheng Qiushan ......"
"Hello Senior Brother Zheng!"
......
Including Luo Sheng, there are a total of thirteen people, from nine adventure teams.
When he heard the introduction, Luo Sheng felt that the names of these adventure teams were quite familiar, and he had vaguely heard of them, and as soon as the head of the group left, everyone chatted, and he only knew.
The Yunxiao team, on the list of adventure jobs, ranked fifth.
The Unforgiving Squad, ranked seventh on the list of adventure officers.
Dragon Claw Squad, on the list of adventure jobs, ranked 11th.
......
Coupled with the knights of the Magic Sword Squad from the second place on the list, the thirteen knights here almost bring together most of the top twenty knights on the main list, and they all came here after the team completed the task assigned by the Astyan priest.
Luo Sheng lived here, two days ago, I didn't see the instructor or the like, everyone let go of their arms, practiced at will in the courtyard, rested when they were tired, drank water when they were thirsty, and had a special canteen when they were hungry, and the food, but there was nothing to say.
After two days, Luo Sheng felt that his weight had increased by at least five catties, which was embarrassing, but looking at Zheng Qiushan, who was half larger than himself, steamed buns, it was calculated according to the plan, and the broth and rice were served in a basin, and no matter how deep the sense of shame was, it was gone.
In the past two days, another knight, Yan Shaolong, is compared with Zheng Qiushan, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, speaking sullenly, looking naïve and naïve, it is said that his brain has had a little problem since he was a child.
But no one dares to underestimate him, without him, a few words from the top of the main list are enough.
This Yan Shaolong is the new first on the list of adventure positions, the knight of the Shining Star Squad, after completing the tasks assigned by Astia, he actually has five honorary titles, squeezing the former top flying sword legend from the list of main jobs.
Now, he has become everyone's little brother.
On the morning of the third day, Captain Janette came to the training center early and gathered everyone.
"In this issue, there are only fourteen of you!" "Captain Agnete is wearing knightly heavy armor today, carrying a standard spear in his hand, and someone came to inform everyone last night, so the fourteen newly promoted senior knights under the steps are also wearing their own equipment.
"One no less!
"Listening to Chef Bai in the cafeteria, in the past few days, someone has gained more than a dozen pounds, is it true?"
"Hahaha......"
"Good food, huh?"
"Not bad!"
"Very good!"
"Very good!"
"Have you eaten enough this morning?"
"I'm full!"
"Okay, go and choose one of the stones. Captain Janette pointed to the pile of stones by the courtyard wall, and everyone hurriedly ran to it, and one of them chose a piece and moved it back with a snort.
In the first two days, everyone didn't train much, and I still felt a little guilty in my heart, and everyone picked basically the maximum weight they could lift.
The piece that Zheng Qiushan chosen, hey, it is estimated that it is 800 catties!
Looking at Yan Shaolong's selection again, it is also a big circle, I am afraid that there are 1,000 catties!
Even the lightest one was chosen, and it was above 400 catties.
"Okay, you've got all chosen, now spread out and lift the stones. ”
As they were told, they lifted the stone.
Ten minutes later, someone's arms, thighs, and calves began to tremble, which was a sign of exhaustion.
"Teacher, when are you going to lift?"
"Lunch. ”
"It's so early, you don't have to eat...... Lift it up to lunch?"
"Yes!"
As soon as the word "right" came out of Commander Janette's mouth, the people who hadn't trembled also began to tremble.
It's only been ten minutes, and by lunch, it's not ...... It got to be four hours? Who can lift that long?
"Hey, do you think it's an impossible task?"
"Then I, I will lower the standard for you, you don't have to raise it above your head, as long as the stone doesn't hit the ground, it's counted!"
More than ten or twenty minutes, everyone put down the stones in their hands, some sat down with their arms, some lay down on their stomachs, and some put them on their shoulders......
Captain Yanette went into the cafeteria, and when he came out, he saw that he was staggering, and his brows were furrowed: "Get up! Don't sit, don't lean! Don't lie down!"
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
One by two, they quickly stood up and lifted the stones with both hands.
After waiting for five or six minutes, Luo Sheng couldn't hold on, the calves kept flashing, the whole body, heavy loading and stones, a total of seven hundred catties, all the weight was supported by his legs, how could he bear it for a long time.
At this time, the two canteen guys came out with a pot of soup, and the fragrance wafted out far away, even if everyone had just eaten not long ago, they unconsciously sniffed when they smelled the fragrance.
Luo Sheng took the stone in his arms and slowly walked towards the pot......
Everyone barely carried the stones until lunchtime, but learned that there was no lunch, because eating lunch was too wasteful, because they could not exercise immediately after being full, and each person could only use the time of drinking soup in the morning to eat a small bowl of beef with plenty of oil and water and a fist-sized steamed bun.
Immediately afterwards, they were ordered to take off their heavy armor, and they were divided into groups of twos and pounded each other, not to injure each other, but not to release water, and to make the other party feel unbearable pain.
As for what kind of strength can make the other party feel unbearable pain without disabling the other party, the head of the Yanette regiment called Yan Shaolong to come out of the queue and gave everyone a demonstration.
Yan Shaolong stood on the side, tied his steps, and shouted, "Come on!"
Captain Yanette casually punched Yan Shaolong's left shoulder muscle, Yan Shaolong, who was more than two hundred pounds, snorted, and flew down to the sand and screamed, but only two minutes later, Yan Shaolong grunted and stood up like no one.
It turned out that this punch only had the strength to show its strength, and it didn't go to the body at all, so it knocked Yan Shaolong away at once, except for the pain at the place where he was hit, there was no injury in the body, and the control of the strength of the head of the Yanette regiment had reached the pinnacle.
"More sweat in training, less bloodshed in wartime, I think this kind of big truth, I don't need to talk about it anymore. When you are beaten, think carefully about how to mobilize every part of your body to cushion the force far beyond your body weight, and with a strong blow, you will be sent flying away without being able to do so, leaving your companions in the enemy's attack range...... Hurry up and ...... everyone"
In this way, in the voices of everyone's "be stronger!", "be more vigorous!", "don't look like a......" and "I can still stand the ......", everyone ended the day's training.
Yan Shaolong lay on the bed and said to Luo Sheng: "You go take a bath first, I really don't want to move, take a rest first......"
"Or you go first, I think I'm going to die, rest first......"
The two of you said a word to me, but as a result, they didn't go, they fell asleep directly, snoring one after another, so unhappy.
This kind of training is completely self-inflicted, except when I first started exercising, I did this, and after becoming a professional, where did I practice like this?
Everyone felt that they would definitely not be able to persevere, but no one said anything, why, they couldn't afford to lose anyone.
Here, they are all members of the team who are famous on the main job list, who can leave their heads and shout: "Lao Tzu can't stand it!"?
In this face-saving atmosphere, everyone miraculously persevered, and each was heavier, stronger, and darker than when he first arrived......
The physical and strength training lasted twenty-nine days, and on the thirtieth day, Captain Janette gave everyone a day off to move freely.
Luo Sheng slept until noon, and when he went to the cafeteria, it was empty, it turned out that the cooks were also on vacation, and he had nowhere to go, so he had to go to Wulian's house.
Luo Sheng, who was full of joy, returned to Wulian's house, and Aunt Yi took a look, yo, which little black boy came to the house to ask for food?
If you look closely, you really want to eat.
In the past month, Aunt Yi has not seen a few girls and young men at all, and she is very happy to see Luo Sheng come back, and she has Luo Sheng's favorite mutton, fried mutton, stewed mutton, roast mutton, and shabu mutton...... Luo Sheng ate happily.
The satisfied Luo Sheng said goodbye to Aunt Yi and walked on the way back with his belly touched.
Wulian's house is not far from the knight's training center, and there is a trail to copy, turn the crossroads, not far away, there is a secluded path, through this path, the journey is a little and a half.
There are many stories on this path, such as missing young girls, people in white wandering at midnight, innocent and tragic deaths, etc., and over time, rumors of ghosts on this road are spreading more and more.
So, once it was night, there was only a dim light on the path, which was lit alone near the entrance of the alley, shining twenty meters into the alley, and it was swallowed up by the darkness of Hesse.
Luo Sheng took this path when he came, so he didn't think much about it when he returned, and his subconscious had already arranged it.
As I walked, I couldn't help but wonder, it was just after dinner, why was there no one on the street? This is the city of Fran in the middle of summer, the capital of the Kingdom of Farnia, how could the residents of the capital be like countrymen, in order to save two magic stones and go to bed early?
Luo Sheng looked left and right, and just saw the street sign on the side of the road, and with the help of the lights in the distance, the three words "Sanhui Lane" were extremely clear.
"Three trips back to the alley, the scenery is different...... When I came, I didn't think that it was beautiful, three back to the alley, I wiped it!
Luo Sheng muttered to himself, and suddenly remembered the various stories of Sanhui Lane, and shivered coldly, his teeth rattled, and cold sweat came out of his head.
Luo Shengtian is not afraid of the earth, he is only afraid of the ethereal ghosts, ghosts and monsters, he killed not twenty with his own hands, but also eighteen, and I don't know where his fear comes from.
But emotions are such a thing, once they are in the head, even if the reason is clear, the body can't resist it.
He wanted to turn around, but he had walked more than half of the distance of Sanhui Alley, and there were still a hundred meters to the exit at most, and out of the alley, it was the brightly lit Dingbang Road, he gritted his teeth fiercely and walked forward quickly.
He kept looking east and west, and he had to see the stones, low bushes, and stumps on the side of the road, otherwise he would not be able to do it.
And he always felt that there was a swishing behind him, as if something was chasing him, so he walked faster and faster, bigger and bigger, and after a dozen steps, he was almost running at the fastest speed.
Suddenly, in the alley, where the trees were tallest and the branches were thickest, two swaying black shadows flickered by.
"Who!"
"Who's there!"
Luo Sheng stopped, shouted twice, and looked fixedly at the side of the road, behind a row of straight trees, there was a black wall, and under the wall, there was something!
"Damn! pretend to be a ghost!" Luo Sheng bent down and touched three stones on the ground, and with a flick of his hand, "swish", the three stones flew towards the dark place.
"Kill this kid!" After two muffled sounds, a sharp voice came from the darkness.
"Ahhhh
"Zheng'er, stop him for me!" shouted a black shadow chasing after Luo Sheng, and three young men ran in from Dingbang Road.
Hearing these words in Luo Sheng's ears, it was not like that at all, he only heard a sharp ghost scream, and a black shadow floated at the intersection in front of him.
Luo Sheng panicked, and saw that the black shadow was a punch, but he didn't expect that the black shadow was really partially knocked away by him, Luo Sheng was stunned, this ghost is so weak?
How did you get involved in the city of Fran?
In a panic, Luo Sheng rushed towards the location of the light at the entrance of the alley, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, tripped over a stone, and fell to the ground.
The shadows also surrounded them.
"It's over!" Luo Sheng closed his eyes and kicked his legs with his fist.
