Chapter 222: Templars and Samurai
Leonardo's praise surprised Philip, who thought he would belittle himself and find faults.
After all, whether it was the impression he had back then or the identity of the teacher, it was common sense, but his performance today was simply too kind.
Leonardo seemed to guess his thoughts, and explained unhurriedly, that his accent was much more normal now than it was back then.
"I'm not your teacher, I'm just going to guide you when I have time, just like those temple warriors just now.
Yes, you heard it right, except for that Bass, the rest were not Templars, but Templars.
The difference of one word is a thousand miles of difference in status within the temple.
It's just that people on the outside generally don't know the difference inside, and they are collectively called Templars, and they are all synonymous with superior force anyway. ”
Philip listened quietly and did not ask, and if he should know, the other party would naturally tell him.
Sure enough, Leonardo continued: "It can be seen that your foundation is very solid, and both the rationality of your movements and your grasp of rhythm are outstanding among your peers.
It's not like a second-year student at all, you have a good teacher, you should thank him.
But what I appreciate most is that you don't stick to the rules and use them rigidly according to the standard routines in the military academy, but have your own understanding.
In other words, you have a keen sense of smell for combat.
It's as if after the first attack, you didn't choose to force a change of move, but retreated decisively. ”
Philip rubbed his nose embarrassedly and said, "I just feel that if I get into your attack range at that time, I will be hit mercilessly." ”
Leonardo nodded: "That's true, your hunch saved you." Each high-end knight will form his own qi machine, which will help you a lot in future battles.
The measure of combat ability is nothing more than stronger strength and faster speed, which is also the most common ability of the vast majority of awakened people in the direction of body strengthening.
Although the parts and methods of strengthening are different, they have the same goal, as long as they achieve the same goal.
You guessed it, I wasn't an Awakened of Speed and Power at first, and the reason why I was able to contain you when I wasn't using my abilities was because of my more combat experience.
This has developed a physical instinct, especially in the face of the speed of the awakened. ”
Philip sensed something in the other man's words, and Leonardo's words were at the beginning, indicating that he had now awakened these two basic abilities.
Leonardo had no intention of hiding it, since Philip made up his mind to join the temple, he was already his own person, and he was a descendant of the same camp.
"I have limited time in Gokan City each year, so I can only find time to see you once.
In fact, in my opinion, what you're missing right now is not coaching in martial arts skills, but honing in actual combat.
Only surviving countless battles, even life-and-death fights, can make you a true warrior.
You are a child of the Wild Lion Family, and this is your advantage, and you can take advantage of that.
Whether it's your grandfather, Earl Brad, or your father, they can give you great guidance.
Then all I can point you to is some secrets related to the Templars.
In terms of the composition of all the forces to which the temple belongs, the Templars account for only half of them, and the rest are collectively called Templars.
The composition of these people is very complex and can be broadly divided into three categories.
One is the Templar's personal bodyguard, who act as the knight's lieutenants, assisting the knight in all matters and keeping him safe.
However, their commissions are the responsibility of the Templars themselves, and the Templars do not care about them, just giving them a proof of identity.
Knights from large families can easily form their own team, which is the main reason why many knights from noble families can be promoted quickly. ”
Speaking of this, the paladin's expression was a little gloomy, and at the same time, it also made Philip understand how the hidden hostility of the other party came from.
"Second, they are ordinary soldiers, just like the soldiers in the Wild Lion Division.
Most of them are military graduates of seminaries around the country, but there is no awakening.
This group is the largest in number, but the quality is far superior to that of ordinary soldiers in the army, because they, like the cadets of intermediate military academies, are trained according to the standards of non-commissioned officers.
Both tactical literacy and cohesion are the best fighters.
The third is those who have awakened, but have not passed the Templar Knight's assessment.
Some of these people would be recruited by the Templars to become members of their guards, and even some of them were much more powerful than the average Templar.
At least half of the members of my escort regiment are former classmates.
Others were attached to the temples and were assigned to understaffed Templars as deputies, much like members of the Private Guard, except that they were paid by the temples.
In other words, a Templar who is not very capable will most likely be overstretched by such an old fritter and will not be able to command at all. ”
Philip nodded, this situation is common, even in the army is the norm.
As he knew, Grandpa Brad had assembled a whole set of boards for his cousin Bruce, and Chris was the least visible of them.
These people will grow with Bruce, like vines attached to him, with the help of the power of the Wild Lion Family, to realize their own value.
You can't say whether it's good or bad, it's all up to your choice.
As for Philip himself, the team members he can think of at this stage, Duke is almost ironclad, and there are also Julian, Gerrard and a few others who usually follow him.
Leonardo continued, a look of pride on his handsome face: "Awakening is just a stepping stone for the Higher Branch of the Seminary, which means that you have the possibility of becoming a Templar.
But it's only possible.
In the annual graduation assessment, that is, the selection of Templar Knights, almost more than half of the people are eliminated because they do not meet the requirements.
In addition to learning the various applications of divine power, no matter what your original awakening ability is, each student must master the two most basic awakening abilities of speed and strength, or your awakened ability can completely replace the effects of these two abilities in order to graduate.
I'll tell you the truth, that's what I am.
Otherwise, even if your abilities are very rebellious, the temple can arrange other suitable positions for you, but it will not be able to give you a knight's badge.
You may wonder why you are so demanding when you are born with natural abilities.
I don't know how many abilities you awakened for the first time, but I will tell you that with the first awakening, especially after the awakening level increases, everyone will awaken more than one innate ability.
Among these secondary abilities, the ratio of speed and strength is very high, and it can even be said that they are like treasure chests hidden in the body, and almost more than 80% of people can awaken them, just to see if you find the right key. ”
Philip became a little excited, and hurriedly asked, "The seminary has a secret exercise method?"
Leonardo nodded and said, "It's not a secret, many big people know it, and I'm sure even your grandfather Brad knows it."
Since the temple has been able to stand proudly on this continent for thousands of years, it naturally has countless secrets, and this is only the most basic, there is no need to make a fuss.
This is because the premise of this method of learning is very weak, which is the first awakening.
The temple has done a lot of testing, but it's a pity.
Only the awakened can control the direction of their spiritual power, meditate with the cooperation of a specific divine comedy, simulate a certain melody or pattern in it, and trigger resonance in the body, so as to achieve the purpose of awakening.
Not only speed and strength, but even fortifications and other abilities can be systematically learned in the Higher Branch of the Seminary.
After all, for the temple, there are not many things in this world that can be called secret.
It's just that because of the factor of racial bloodline, people of other races have a very low awakening rate for the strong wall, so they are not included in the evaluation criteria of the Templar Knights.
The only purpose of this is to make each Templar a near-perfect combat machine, in order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of certain overly obvious weaknesses.
At the same time, it is also of great significance for leading the team to fight in the future.
It's just that now is not the time to tell you, and when you become a real student, someone will naturally tell you. ”
Philip was excited, for any warrior who aspires to be strong, how to open his own treasure trove and become stronger is simply the most delicious bait.
If he had known earlier, maybe he would have chosen to join even if there were no later events, maybe sooner.
He suppressed his excitement and humbly asked: "Even if you awaken these two abilities, it doesn't mean that there are no weaknesses, after all, the amplitude of the first-level awakening is still too weak. ”
Leonardo seemed to have known that he would ask this question and said, "Indeed. According to the statistics of the temple's internal statistics, the amplitude of the first-level awakening ranges from one times the lowest to four times the largest, and the span is extremely large.
But it's usually between two and three times, and I mean without mobilizing spiritual power to strengthen it.
The proportion of second-level awakenings is three to four times, three-level is four to five times, and so on.
After the sixth level of awakening, it is seven to eight times.
But it's not as you might think, the higher the amplitude, the better, and the problem here is much more complicated than you might think.
First of all, according to the research of the temple over the years, there is a cap on the amplification effect of each ability, or the marginal effect is diminishing.
The upper limit of strength is higher, but no more than ten times, otherwise it will affect the speed and cause considerable load and hidden dangers to the body tissues.
The upper limit of speed is low, and the vast majority of races get stuck at six times the amplitude, except for a few races that can be overcome due to their body structure. ”
