Section 88 Genius Boy
Carter was originally a kind man, and the death of the chief of the guard hit him hard, and he completely ignored his reputation and status, personally went to visit the family of the chief of the guard with gifts and pensions, and took the initiative to apologize for them.
The sincere Carter quickly impressed the Captain of Guard's parents, who accepted Carter's apology and gifts, and spoke highly of Carter. This matter spread ten, ten to hundred, and soon the entire Dragon City knew about it. Not only did people not slander Carter, they felt that the chief had the courage to apologize and admit his mistakes, but they thought that the chief was a frank and righteous aristocrat, and praised Carter one after another, making Carter even more loved by people.
Twelve-year-old Carter sparred with the chief guard and killed the chief guard in only three moves, which can be understood by a woman who doesn't know how to swordsmanship, Carter's swordsmanship strength is extraordinary.
Upon learning of this, Asaido hurried back to Dragon City from his territory to test Carter's swordsmanship himself.
After the two of them exchanged more than a dozen moves in the courtyard, Asaido put away the long sword with a smile, explained to Carter, and said, "Well, I haven't seen you for a while, but the swordsmanship of the master of affairs has improved rapidly." You are truly a genius at sword practice, and you are the first of thousands of years on this continent. In the future, you don't need to use the short sword anymore, you can wear the long sword directly, Master Affairs. ”
Carter was a little surprised to hear this, and he asked rhetorically, "Can I?" But I'm still very short, and my arms aren't long enough. ”
Asaido replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's a matter of your age, I believe that in a few years your height will definitely surpass us." Now that you've almost practiced your swordsmanship, you've mastered those subtle skills well, and it's time to change to a long sword to practice. ”
After saying that, Asaido thought for a moment, then reached out and took the spear from the guard's hand, he handed it to Carter, and instructed him, "Your swordsmanship is improving so fast, let's try the spear." ”
Carter nodded, silently took the spear, and followed Asaido in the yard to practice the spear.
Under the guidance of Asaido, Carte's movements were quite standardized, the pace movements were completely consistent, and every step was in place. Seeing that Carter could perform so well, Acedo taught Carter all his skills in making guns at one time.
For the whole afternoon, Carter was dancing with his spear in the yard, and the more Carter practiced this time, he couldn't stop marveling at Asaido.
As evening approached, Arsaido finally spoke, "Alright, Lord Carter, it's almost time to rest." Whether it is practicing guns or swords, you can't be in a hurry, you should focus on stability, otherwise you will only have a form and no god, and the strength you can play is also very limited. ”
Hearing Asaido say this, Carter stopped and invited Asaido into the house for dinner.
Acedo felt that Carter had the talent to be a knight, and he couldn't help but tell Carter the key to riding and archery at the dinner table: "This horse must have strong legs, and you can't sit on the back of a horse like a chair, so you can't stabilize your center of gravity when the horse is running." If you don't stabilize your center of gravity, you won't be able to fight your enemies while your horse is galloping. Therefore, to ride a horse, you have to sit on the back of the horse, put your feet firmly on the stirrups, and rely on your legs to support your body. The archery of the bow and arrow is also a truth, when shooting arrows, the arms must be steady, and if the arms are not stable, you will not be able to shoot accurately. Therefore, when we train knights to shoot archery, at the beginning, we let the knights hang heavy objects on their arms and lift them flat, so as to practice everyone's arm strength and stability. Anyway, each of the four major skills of this knight has to rely on hard practice to make a breakthrough. ”
Carter listened very carefully, and he asked rhetorically, "Is that how the barbarian's black knight practiced?" ”
"Of course!" "But the barbarians have lived in the steppes since childhood, and they are naturally masters of horseback riding, and there is no need for them to retrain their horsemanship. ”
Carter thought for a moment and then asked, "Judging from the actual combat experience of Lord Acedo, do you think our Knight knights are more powerful, or their barbarian black knights are more powerful?" ”
After hearing this, Asaido smiled faintly, he took a sip of wine, and replied more and more sarcastically: "We knights, all of us knight knights think that we knight knights are much more powerful than their black knights. But in fact, this is not the case, if it is fought alone, our Knight Knight may not be the opponent of their Black Knight. ”
Carter was taken aback by this answer, and he sighed, "No wonder our kingdom has become what it is now, these black knights are so powerful. ”
Asaido smiled and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on what kind of knight Knight is." For example, the Knights of the North, that is, the paladins of the North, they are much more powerful than the Black Knights. ”
Carter was a little puzzled, and he continued to ask, "Is there any difference?" Aren't they all Knight Knights? ”
Asaido shook his head and replied, "It's different, it's a lot different." Those paladins in the north weren't like the other knights, they weren't from the training camp. The knights in the training camp only train for a long time, and the recruits will be incorporated into the knights after two years in the camp, and what tricks can be practiced in two years. But this is not the case with the paladins in the North, they all practice at home spontaneously, and they are selected to join the Knights of Fengdu after they have a certain reputation. These paladins basically have more than five years of training foundation, so William was able to sweep the Northern Dao with a Fengdu Knights, and they almost almost captured the royal capital. ”
Carter suddenly realized, "Understood." It seems that in the future, we must strengthen the training of our knights, at least to ensure that we can reach the combat ability of the black knights, otherwise if this battle starts, we will definitely suffer. ”
"Not necessarily, it depends on who is directing the battle," said Acedo with a smile. A true master, even if you give him a temporary knight order of the people, he can still defeat the black knights of the barbarians. The knights of Hwaseong have only been formed for a long time, and they are simply temporary people's knights. They first brought down the army of bandits, and then defeated the barbarian Nedo army that invaded Hwaseong, and Betty and Simon are good examples. ”
Carter sneered and said, "In my opinion, they haven't done it thoroughly enough. If it were to replace me, I would continue to pursue the barbarians, and teach them that they would not have a chance to return to Nedor, so that I could recover the city of Nedor by the way. ”
Asaido looked at Carter stunned, feeling that his thinking was indeed quite bold, and if he shot on the battlefield in the future, Carter would definitely be a good and excellent commander.
After eating some casual food, Acedo took a sip of the wine in his glass, then got up and said goodbye, "Okay, Lord Carter, I'll tell you so much this time, I have to rush back to the north side of the territory at once." Recruitment has only just begun, and I'm going to have to keep an eye out for those incompetent guys to get into our Knights again. ”
Carter stood up and said goodbye, "Okay Lord Acedo, if you meet a particularly good candidate, remember to let him come to our camp to enlist." ”
Asaido smiled and said, "Of course, don't worry, my lord, I know it in my heart." ”
After saying that, Asaido walked into the courtyard, turned over his horse, and ran out of the compound in the blink of an eye.
In the following time, Carter temporarily handed over the affairs of Dragon City to Dimis to assist in handling, and devoted himself to the study of spearmanship, horsemanship, and archery.
Carter is really willing to endure hardships in training, and he hardly rests from morning to night, so he spends all his time on training.
Carter is indeed a genius, he is very skilled in weapons, and his talent is indeed rare in thousands of years on the mainland.
Of course, Carter's hard work is not a pure personal hobby, and he has a very bold plan in his heart, but no one can think of it for the time being.
The day of the Dragon City Knight Competition is getting closer and closer, and the list of participants from all over the country has begun to be sent to the Duke of Dragon City Mansion one after another. When Thatcher flipped through the list sent by the Minister's Mansion, Carter's own name appeared on the list of contestants, which surprised Thatcher.
According to the rules of the kingdom in the past, boys under the age of sixteen could only participate in the knight competition in the junior division at most, just like Robit did in the royal capital ten years ago. But this Dragon City Knight Contest did not prepare any events for the junior group, and Carter signed up to compete with the adult group.
"Can he do it?" Prince Railton was also surprised by this, and he couldn't help but ask Duke Thatcher like this.
Thatcher sighed slightly: "Ouch, this Carter is indeed a little unusual. I heard that some time ago, he competed with a chief guard, and he killed the chief guard by mistake in three moves, which shows that his swordsmanship strength is not trivial. ”
Prince Railton was silent after hearing this, Carter's excellent performance came too suddenly for the prince, and this young man seemed to have some of the demeanor of the god of war Knight back then. If Carter can make a splash in the knights' tournament, then I will talk to him well and focus on cultivating him like Haba. In this way, he has one more chip in his hand, and he will also increase hope against those barbarians.
Thinking of this, Prince Railton smiled happily, and he said happily: "It doesn't matter if Duke Haba himself doesn't participate in the knight competition, now there is a Carter, which can just make up for this empty sleep." Oh yes, Lord Thatcher, I know who that Assel is, but who is this Dimis? How come I don't have a little impression? ”
Thatcher replied, "Back to His Royal Highness, this Dimis and that Simon of Hwaseong, both of them belong to the heroes of Reesburg, and they were both the most powerful subordinates of the Duke of Illit. I heard that this Dimis is more powerful than Simon, he is not only good at swordsmanship, he has a set of skills in knight warfare, but also very good at managing territorial affairs, and he is a rare all-rounder of our Knight. ”
Prince Railton pondered and asked, "Really?" How does he compare to Lord Viscount Miller? Didn't you say Miller was also an all-rounder? ”
Thatcher replied with a smile: "Miller? Hehe, compared to Lord Dimis, Lord Viscount Miller is much inferior. Miller still wears a short sword, and his swordsmanship is so average that he probably can't beat even a bad old man like me. Well, Miller used to be a trader, and he organized a town on Duke Haba's side. What is the specific ability of this territory to govern, then you have to ask Duke Haba to know. Lord Dimis is different, and he is most credited with the scenery of Fort here. ”
"Oh!" Prince Railton nodded again and again, and he said happily: "In this way, I have to rely on Carter first, and the people under him are even more amazing, and this Carter seems to be smarter." ”
"yes!" , Thatcher sighed slowly: "Duke Haba is too rigid in dealing with people, didn't Duke Cologne send him food some time ago?" After the Duke of Cologne was angrily turned around by the Duke of Haba, fortunately, the chief of affairs, Lord Carter, acted for the Duke of Haba, so Cologne coaxed Cologne to leave the food to the Duke of Haba. ”
Prince Railton nodded silently, judging from Duke Thatcher's words, this Duke Haba does seem to be a little poor, how can he properly train this heroic slave of Rytunburg?
Thinking of this, Prince Railton fell into deep thought, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the list of participants in the other realms.
