Chapter 177: Penance (2)

The short sword, which was more than a foot long, was placed on a delicate wooden table, and the sword body exuded a hazy halo, making the short sword look unreal, as if it could disappear at any time.

According to the veteran, Yuanyang's sword technique and the god system of the Titan world are almost completely incompatible, but Hathaway has a soft spot for 'sword fighting', which is related to Chinese myths and legends after all, and the cultivation of Yuanyang's qi refining technique and the internal qi she cultivated are combined, which makes her even more convinced that this mysterious cultivation method is related to Chinese myths and legends.

Sighing softly, Hathaway rubbed the dragon skin scroll that was placed aside, although the things recorded on it had been memorized by her, she always felt that there was a feeling of unfinished, especially after breaking through the ninth layer of qi alchemy, she realized several yuan qi use techniques, and her understanding became more and more profound...... It's just a little scary, in the Yuan Qi use technique, there is no element use technique similar to the fireball technique. And so far, the vitality consumed by the Vitality Technique can only be its own reserves, and it cannot cause elemental resonance in the casting area like magic.

However, Hathaway was not discouraged, she had already discovered a characteristic of alchemy...... When breaking through a certain level, you will comprehend the mystery of a period of vitality use on your own. According to the alchemy technique, the vitality is the beginning of all things, and when it breaks through to a certain stage, it can also cultivate into a world, resonating with the vitality of the outside world, and between gestures, the vitality is endless, similar to the realm of the sacred realm in the cultivation of demonic martial arts. And what made her happy was that the cultivation of these three ways was not contradictory. And it has a mutually reinforcing effect, which she didn't expect when she first started cultivating.

Hathaway is more interested in swordsmanship than in Genki skills, the legendary sword volley has made countless boys and girls crazy, thinking that she has the opportunity to fulfill this mythical fantasy, Hathaway's heart is excited, she even sometimes sees her use different techniques to cast flying swords in dreams, these scenes are derived from those novels and TV series, but ...... Now it seems that she really has a chance to practice.

Months of continuous cultivation were not fruitless, and she had now established a mysterious connection with the dagger in front of her. It's almost like merging it with itself...... This fusion does not mean that the sword weapon and the body are completely fused...... Joke! Whether it's in the stomach or in the head. With many extremely sharp swords, it is estimated that you will not be able to sleep peacefully, let alone run around. The so-called 'fusion' is actually after refining the sword weapon. It will open up an internal world in the body. Place the sword weapon in it to nourish. It is always available and convenient.

"Close!"

Hathaway let out a snort, and the light on the surface of the dagger suddenly burst into flames. Suddenly it turned into a black streamer and sank into Hathaway's body.

"Unsheathed!"

Hathaway let out another shout, and a black streamer shot out of her sleeve, piercing the stone wall with a 'bang', and then retracted from her body under Hathaway's control.

Raising a sword is the first step. After the success of raising the sword, the body is like a sheath, and the sword weapon is a blade. At this time, although it can also hurt the enemy with a flying sword, it is equivalent to throwing the flying sword into the vitality, which is similar to a flying knife...... Well, it's a little sharper and a little more accurate, but it lacks variety.

The second step is to be regarded as the real Edgeworth, with divine will (magicians call it spiritual power) and Vitality Edgeworth...... It is precisely because of the Divine Will that the Edgeworth can be locked onto the target.

However, the art of swordsmanship is also not something that can be practiced overnight. Therefore, after Hathaway put away the flying sword freely, she ended her cultivation and began to deal with government affairs.

After a month of retreat and practice, Hathaway hardly left the room except for once a day when she dined, and even if she went out by chance, she only handled some affairs in the study of the lord's mansion. Hughes and the others were a little worried. It wasn't until the day she left to end the retreat that everyone was relieved, and from Hathaway's somewhat tired but more confident expression, it could be seen that she seemed to be more like a different person, especially in those eyes, there was more soul-stirring sharpness, and her gestures were more majestic.

Although there was no breakthrough in this cultivation, Hathaway felt that her state of mind had changed a lot, even looking at the plants and the sky in the courtyard, she had a feeling of vitality and dissipation, which she had never felt before.

In the surprised eyes of several people, Hathaway didn't feel anything wrong, but the faint aura emanating from Hathaway's body made Stilwell. Pang Sen felt that his master seemed to be even more unfathomable, like a tiger that reined in its minions and sneaked around, making people feel threatened at all times.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Cecia, your gaze is like a wolf, am I an elf beauty? Stilwell, don't stare at me with the eyes of your prey, it will give me the creeps. ā€

Hathaway chuckled and joked, "Barth, it seems that you have a good complexion, well, my escort team should have grown a lot under your tutelage, right?" I hope you don't let me down. ā€

"My lord, Aaron. Baron Jeramy invites you to his mansion. "Petro. Hughes reports.

"Oh, he figured it out?"

Hathaway's eyes flickered slightly. After she came to the Cordillera Plateau, although she took the initiative to invite some people to talk, except for Solo. After Bell demonstratively invited her to Monica's estate, no one dared to invite her rashly, lest she be used as a sign of sidelines. And Aaron. Baron Jeramy's invitation to Hathaway at this time is undoubtedly a clear statement.

Saalranka Manor, about sixteen miles from Mandi Gaza City.

The area of the estate is small, adjacent to a freshwater lake, surrounded by a mountain forest, the scenery is beautiful and unique, here is Aaron. Baron Jeramy's domain.

Hathaway rode a brown pony with Stilwell. Pang Sen and the others galloped on the forest path. Because it wasn't Tiange that she was riding today, she was a lot more careful, and at the same time she was thinking about Aaron. Baron Jerami invited her intentions.

While thinking, galloping, for the nobles, learning riding is also a science, short distances, long distances, sprints, all must be learned slowly after the body lƬ walk, the horses she has ridden before are all trained mounts, and this pony has just been bought from the market, and the wildness has not yet been completely converged. Of course, Hathaway is not going to pursue any famous horses with pure blood, just simple horses, this is just an ordinary trip, she doesn't want to ride a carriage, and she doesn't want to ride Tiange all the time.

More than ten miles, let go of the reins, and it didn't take long to see the manor in front of him, and the fields around the manor were green and lush, and Hathaway knew that all around it were the territory of His Excellency the Baron, so he slowed down.

The horses responded to their wishes, and ran on the road without hurrying, and swept around on their horses, which was a large field, about 2,000 acres of farmland, and the tenants were busy in it, a busy scene.

From the gate of the manor, you can see the villa inside, surrounded by the surrounding plants, which looks particularly quiet and elegant. However, the plants, although simply pruned, were not precious flowers, and it was clear that the owners did not care much about the decorations.

The group walked slowly along the road, and it didn't take long to reach the door. At this time, the owner of the inside had already seen it and walked out.

"Your Excellency, it's an honor to be invited by you!" Hathaway said that she turned over and dismounted, and fell to the ground, and her body was very athletic.

"Welcome, Lord Count."

Aaron. A reserved and polite smile appeared on Jeramy's face, "Please talk in the house." ā€

He ordered his servants to help take care of the mounts, except for Iona and Stilwell. Ponson followed behind Hathaway, and the other guards were placed in another place.

The group walked into the villa and came to a hall, where there were already a number of male and female guests, who seemed to have seen them when they were at Monica Manor, they should all be decent people nearby, they all got together, chatted, played cards, and had a very leisurely attitude, and when they saw Hathaway come in, they all stood up, and their faces were full of harmony.

"Shani. Brett, you know, these two are Dilly. Lord Kony and Ravan . Lord Baldley. "Aaron. Jerami said.

All three of them had children with them, and they were all middle-aged, only Lord and Mrs. Coney were only about twenty years old, and after listening to the introduction, they all nodded politely, and they were not much close, nor deliberately distant, with a sense of nonchalance.

"Lord Earl, it's a pleasure to see you here, are you interested in joining?" Raven. Lord Baldley greeted him very warmly.

This is about the so-called aristocratic salon, right?

Hathaway smiled faintly, noncommittal.

"Okay, it's still early, let's play cards and chat!" Aaron. Jerami said Jian YƬ Dao.

Salon is the transliteration of the word "living room" in French, in fact, the original meaning is the way it is now, and a certain hall in the house is used as a social place. Most of the people who came in and out were small aristocrats from the countryside or the city, or invited dramatists, troubadours, musicians, painters, critics, and so on.

In fact, each circle has its own salon, like-minded people, gather together, sip drinks, enjoy elegant music, while holding knees and talking about various issues of common interest. Originally, the salon model was the current situation of casual chat, not the opulent or elegant salon in the movie.

"Lord Earl, will you come and play cards together?" Shani. Brett said. (To be continued......)
