Chapter 17: The Dwarves (2)

If you don't practice boxing, you will be empty when you get old.

Different from other internal martial arts, Xingyi Boxing, Baguazhang, and Taijiquan, the three major internal martial arts methods, have two ways to practice internal strength, one is pile gong, and the other is boxing. That is to say, while standing on the pile and practicing boxing, as long as it reaches a certain realm, the internal strength will be self-contained.

Needless to say, the three major pile skills of the three kinds of internal boxing are the three-body style, the poleless pile and the mixed element pile. And Hathaway is most accustomed to the three-body pose, because this kind of pile work is the most convenient for actual combat.

Since the condensation of the Dou Qi seed, the cultivation seems to be more intense, a trace of energy enters the body along every pore of the body, and then most of it enters the emerald seed, while there is still a part of the energy absorbed by every cell of the body, although it does not immediately transform into a bodybuilding lady, Hathaway can feel that the physical fitness is imperceptibly.

After a trip to the Five Elements Fist, she used the short sword to practice the Five Elements Sword, although this is only a trip to the basic swordsmanship, but it is the most powerful, but although the use of equipment can also absorb energy, it is not as much as the amount of the fist absorption...... It should be said that there is no comparison at all.

"Who?" Hathaway suddenly put away her dagger and looked coldly at a bush.

"Miss Hathaway, it's me."

There was a timid voice from behind the bushes, and then the bushes shook and a little maid came out.

"Ilona, you're following me?" Hathaway frowned slightly, she didn't know what she was talking about, she had a very sad feeling, as if she had been betrayed by someone closest to her.

"No, no, Miss Hathaway, I didn't follow you!"

Ilona shook her hand in a hurry, and seeing Hathaway glaring at her, she continued: "Grandpa Butler asked me to follow you, if someone makes trouble with you, I will call someone for help." Just now I saw that you didn't come out of the house for a long time, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I followed in, but I didn't expect you to look so good in boxing. Really, I don't believe you ask the housekeeper grandpa! ”

When the little maid came to the back, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, and swore an oath to prove her innocence.

"I believe you."

Hathaway nodded, she looked at the girl carefully and felt that what she said was true...... If she really lied, then her acting skills can win the Oscar, "Ilona, have you ever practiced martial arts?" ”

Hathaway suddenly had a thought in her head, and then the thought was irrepressibly ready to be turned into action.

Ilona shook her head: "I only practiced some basic ones, and then I stopped practicing and started to learn housework." ”

"Then do you want to learn martial arts? Only by learning martial arts can you protect me. Hathaway began to take a good step.

"I want to protect you. But can I really learn martial arts? "Ilona looked very cute, a little confused, and a little delighted.

"Absolutely."

Hathaway felt that she was able to cultivate her fighting spirit by practicing the three-body posture and Xingyi Fist, and it seemed that others also had this possibility...... And it won't hurt to practice standing piles at least.

What she taught Ilona was Tai-level Mixed Yuan Pile and Tai Chi, the girl's body is relatively slender and her personality is gentle, which is suitable for practicing Tai Chi. After repeatedly warning her not to reveal her martial arts practice, and not to reveal that she was practicing martial arts with herself, Hathaway began to teach her all the requirements of the hybrid stake...... Iona was so clever that Hathaway was able to do it after only teaching her twice.

"Ilona, you just practice hard, and tell me when you feel about it." Hathaway admonished.

"Yes, but you ......" Ilona of course likes to learn martial arts, but seeing that Hathaway is leaving, she remembers Bruno. The task assigned by Will.

"Silly girl, I'm a magician, who dares to provoke me?!" Hathaway smiled slightly, and a fireball suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and then the fireball slowly dispersed.

Seeing the red fireball, Ilona believed Hathaway's words, and knew that her young lady was indeed a 'powerful' magician.

Coming out of the woods, Hathaway did not go back to the manor to practice magic, but went straight down a path to the back of the manor...... Not very far from Mimosa Manor, there was a small river, and before she could reach it, she heard the sound of striking iron. At the end of the path, near the riverbank, there were several houses, and the iron furnace was placed outside, and two shirtless men were beating a red-hot iron ingot.

This is the dwarf?

Hathaway looked at the two men curiously...... Their age is not easy to judge, as both of their faces are obscured by a brown beard. Eyes, noses, mouths, and red faces can be seen clearly, but it is difficult to tell how old they are. They are around one and a half meters tall, and although they are shorter than normal, they are very different from the deformed gnomes that Hathaway imagined.

"You're a magician?" A crisp voice came from a short distance from the side, and Hathaway turned her head to see that it was a dwarf girl.

The dwarf girl is much more beautiful than those men, like a beauty who has shrunk a little, although she is shorter, her facial features and limbs are well proportioned, she looks very eye-catching, and her wheat-colored skin looks very healthy.

"Yes, what's your name?" Hathaway asked with a smile.

"Alia. Fogu. You're Miss Hathaway, aren't you? The dwarven girl looked at her curiously.

"You know me?" Hathaway was a little surprised.

"I'm good friends with Iona and tomorrow she'll tell me that Hathaway. Miss Bell has returned from the Academy of Magic, and you are the only magician in that manor, of course it is not difficult to guess. "Alia. Fogu said.

"Who are you who is the man who strikes the iron down there?" Hathaway asked again.

"It's my two older brothers."

Alia. Fogu introduced enthusiastically, "That's my eldest brother Arut, that's my second brother Arun. ”

Well, Hathaway remembered their names, but what they looked like ...... After two circles, she couldn't tell the difference.

"Aria, what weapons have you all crafted?" Hathaway gave up trying to discern between them and asked the questions that mattered most.

"We can craft any weapon, except for the magic wand." A differentially old, but still loud voice suddenly rang out.

"Well, who is this?"

Hathaway looked at the old dwarf in surprise...... He was old enough, his hair and beard were a little gray, but his face was still ruddy, and he walked with great strides, but he soon came to Hathaway.

"This is my dad Gullit. Daddy, she's Miss Hathaway from Mimosa Manor! "Alia. Fugu was afraid that the old dwarf would be rude, so he hurriedly reminded.
