Chapter 29: Blocking (1)
To get to Vermont City in Casserf, they need to travel through Kabulin Province to reach Caself Province, and at their current speed, it will take at least a month and a half.
To Hathaway's surprise, the carriage left Kuching City and then drove through the wasteland for six days, passing through four towns in a row, all of which were safe. The attack that has been carefully guarded against is coming. Only the oppressive atmosphere before the storm grew.
This anomaly made Barthes. Not to be more vigilant, the other five guards were even more frequent scouts, even the smug dwarf girl Alia. Fugudu felt that the atmosphere was different, and he was suspicious. Hathaway, on the other hand, stayed in the carriage to meditate, and would get off the train to practice yoga during breaks, and even when she entered the town to stay in a hotel, she rarely left her room.
She hid the pistol and throwing knife close to her body, and she achieved the bronze three rings in one go, but it is not so easy to go further, and magic cultivation is even more so, her mental power and magic power are now improving, and the spells she has mastered are becoming more and more proficient, but she has not tried other spells, the existing spells have been able to cope with most situations, and I believe that the other party will not be able to invite too advanced magicians.
The goblin clan, worthy of being a god family, has a considerable talent in both magic and martial arts, that feeling...... It's like picking up a weapon, and you can master it with a little familiarity with its skills, and to use a very vivid idiom to describe it, that is, 'it comes naturally'.
That's right, that's how it feels!
In the Hall of Basic Martial Arts, Hathaway found a copy of the Elf Clan's secret archery technique, the Divine Consciousness Arrow. The so-called 'divine will' is the spiritual power of the imperial knowledge, within the reach of the mind, to put it bluntly, it is to attach the spiritual power to the launched arrow in a special way, the advantage is that it can lock on to the target, unless the arrow is destroyed, blocked, or the target is out of the attack range. Therefore, this kind of archery technique is also called random arrow.
Hathaway had practiced archery skills before, and as long as she could master the use of mental power, the rest would not be troublesome. However, what she gained the most was the flying knife technique...... Hathaway first started playing Flying Hair after she left the archery team. As a martial artist, she has an unusually fond of cold weapons, especially her favorite sport of archery. When she can't play with arrows, she likes to play with a saber and throw it, and she also plays so much that the hearts of those male SWAT officers are worried. Later, an instructor took her into the eyes and accepted her as a disciple.
This instructor is not a pure soldier, he is a folk martial artist specially hired by the SWAT team, proficient in grappling, and the seventy-two road Xiaotianxing hand is very famous, but he is best at the ancient martial art - Honglian Flying Knife Technique. His throwing knives all have special skills, not simply fast and accurate, but a real fighting knife technique, even if it is performed in the bright light, not many people can effectively dodge, and Hathaway has been taught all by him. After mastering the skill of the Divine Consciousness Arrow, Hathaway tried to use it on the throwing knife, after a few days of hard work, she can really use the Divine Sense Sword, the power of the flying knife has increased several times out of thin air, and this is only when the application is not skillful, and after a long time, the power of the flying knife is even more terrifying in close combat...... Hathaway gently stroked the throwing knife, and the inadvertent smile on her face made Ilona and the usually bold Aliya. Fugudu felt that his heart was cold.
"Hathaway,"
Alia. Fgou struggled not to think about the strange feeling, and his eyes were fixed on the throwing knife in Hathaway's hand, "What metal is your weapon made of?" ”
"This ...... All I know is that it's made of a special alloy, and I don't know the specifics. Hathaway shrugged, she really hadn't studied any materials or anything like that, this set of seven-star flying knives was passed on to her by her master, representing the seven throwing knife techniques.
Alia. Fogu had long noticed the strangeness of these throwing knives, although she did not have the skills and knowledge of her father, but she came from a family of dwarven craftsmen, and she had far more knowledge of materials and crafting than ordinary people, and she could see the difference between these knives at a glance.
"Stop!"
Suddenly there was a sound of Barthes outside. The mighty shout, followed by the carriage suddenly stopped, and he said loudly outside the window: "Miss, no matter what happens outside later, don't come out, leave it to us." ”
"Stay safe."
Hathaway's expression was calm, but her eyes were full of coldness...... Is it coming? Do you really think you're a bully?!
"Miss, what shall we do?" Ilona also knew what everyone was nervous about during this time, and couldn't help but be a little timid.
"Don't worry, with me protecting you and Miss Bell, there will be no problem!" Alia. Vergu confidently patted the stick beside her, which was slightly longer than her height.
"Thank you, Alia." Ilona seemed to be really relieved, she had seen Alia. The iron rod was wielded, and even the faces of several knights were solemn.
This stupid girl, are those boxing skills you have learned yourself aerobics?
Seeing that the little maid was so timid, Hathaway was also a little helpless. Although the little maid has been practicing martial arts for a short time, she has also practiced a few styles of Tai Chi Sanshou now, of course she can't deal with real martial artists, but if she supports a few moves in front of one or two ordinary martial artists who have not yet condensed the seeds of fighting energy, there is absolutely no problem. And with this buffer time, others can naturally be rescued in time. However, Hathaway didn't remind her that Ilona was not a warrior in the first place, and if she was asked to fight now, maybe it would be chaotic.
There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then ...... Fight! Fierce battles!
Hathaway didn't go out at once, none of the three girls in the carriage were out of the car, they didn't even look out...... From time to time, there was a scream or a muffled grunt from outside the carriage, and even the sound of blood splattering and weapons piercing into the flesh. Hathaway knew that this was another way for the guards to prove their loyalty with blood and lives.
Although the six guards and Hathaway have a guest-host relationship, in any way, they are only to maintain their obligations...... Or rather, it was a promise that even Hathaway would not dare to completely surrender her safety to these people. And this first battle is undoubtedly the vote of both sides.
Hathaway had been sitting in the car, her eyes slightly closed, and Ilona next to her almost thought she was asleep, just when the smell of blood from outside was getting heavier and heavier, Hathaway suddenly opened her eyes, got up and opened the car door, and a bright sword light suddenly appeared.
