Chapter 251: Friendship with Death
It's obviously quite serious, pretending to be full of words, but when it comes out of the place where the flounder is probably the gills, it still reveals an indescribable sand sculpture atmosphere, which makes people not serious at all.
Having said that, Gerald was still squeezed by Mufasha's words.
He actually knew very well in his heart that what the other party said was not wrong at all.
As the heir to the House of Maccaopyle, although he was only the lowest-ranking knight among the nobility, as a direct confidant of the Lord of Lancaster, he was even much stronger than those barons whose territory was in the middle of nowhere.
It is precisely because of this that although he has received strict training since he was a child and has practiced his swordsmanship diligently every day, he has a fairly powerful swordsmanship and fighting spirit in less than a year, but he has never experienced any situation that can be called a dilemma, nor has he faced a cruel battle in the true sense.
After all, as a city captain knight, even if he went to exterminate some bandit dens, in most cases, Gerald only let his subordinates rush to him.
After the subordinates eliminated most of the enemies, and finally came out of the formation by themselves, and defeated the bandits who were slightly stronger inside, but still resisted despite most of their physical strength.
Even in the face of Assassins, firstly, the vast majority of Assassins would not be too strong in order not to arouse the vigilance of their masters, and secondly, the main attention of those Assassins was on the target to be assassinated, but they could not concentrate on facing a knight like Gerald.
His sword has never faced death directly, so his swordsmanship has always been stuck in the bottleneck and difficult to break through, and naturally he cannot reach the extreme.
Dojo swordsmanship may be exquisite, but after all, it is only a work of art behind closed doors, and in terms of killing efficiency, it cannot be compared to swordsmanship practiced on the battlefield.
As a believer in the god of war, Gerald can clearly feel that Mufasha's swordsmanship also carries some power from the favor of the gods.
But unlike his own fighting spirit, which can improve his physical ability and enhance the power of his swordsmanship, the 'amount' of the other party's divine favor is obviously far less than his own, but he can completely defend against all his attacks!
This is an almost incomprehensible situation among God of War believers, generally speaking, the favor of the God of War, that is, the strength of the 'fighting spirit', can lock the victory in advance!
In the end, Gerald finally understood something that made him unbelievable, the other party was able to parry his own attacks, and even block his own sword path, relying entirely on his own swordsmanship, the power of that divine favor, at best, so that this swordsman wearing a flounder hood could not be affected by the fighting spirit, and was forcibly cut off and killed by himself, so that the other party could stand at the starting point of a fair battle with him!
His strength is completely dependent on his own swordsmanship!
At the same time, as an opponent, Gerald is also the person who can feel the opponent's aura the most: Flounder's words are by no means tricky, but he has really been constantly facing death, seeking breakthroughs from it, and finally making his swordsmanship grow to such an unbelievable level!
This made Gerald feel even more shocked in his heart.
On the premise of not counting deserters, soldiers who can generally survive a tragic war will fade into green and become qualified soldiers; If you can survive twice in a row, you will become a veteran and an absolute mainstay in the army; Veterans who have survived three times are quite valuable resources in any unit, and in this world, such veterans are even eligible for the protection of the corresponding gods.
And the flounder-looking swordsman in front of him has survived the predicament of nearing death countless times, so it is not surprising that he will have this kind of monster-like swordsmanship!
"Why ......" Gerald felt that his throat was a little dry, and after realizing how good the other party was, he recalled the process of the fight just now, only to find that the other party had actually been released into the sea, otherwise he might be able to kill himself in seconds as soon as he saw him: "A person as powerful as you would be the guard of an ordinary foot merchant?" How much money he hired you, we Lancaster can pay double! ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm not too interested in being a minion of the nobility." If it had been before, maybe Mufasa would have agreed, and anyway, the other party didn't let himself betray his faith, but just became a mercenary.
However, after seeing the deeds of the nobles and their arrogant mentality in the old city, Mufasa did not have much affection for these nobles, so he decisively refused the invitation.
"Another piece of advice," Mufasha turned to leave the courtyard, but before he walked out of the courtyard door, he ignored the stunned gazes of the two guards guarding the door, and said to Gerald, who looked a little embarrassed, "Monsieur Magne-Wilf is not some 'ordinary businessman'. ”
"If I am the one who often faces death, then he is the one who can live amicably with death." Mufasha left the courtyard after speaking, but the last words were still slowly drifting through the courtyard: "If you really anger him, it will be self-destruction, you better remember that." ”
Gerald froze in place, the expression on his face full of disbelief - this was the first time he didn't know how many times he felt unbelievable today, maybe the unbelievability of his life had been used up by him today.
That businessman who looks like a thief and can die once if he fights a thief is so dio?
Gerald returned to the inner room dejectedly, and the people inside had already known the outcome of the fight through the terrace.
The noblewoman's expression was a little ugly, and she didn't know if she felt that Gerald had lost her face, or if she felt a little embarrassed because Manny didn't give her face.
Looking at the unfathomable smile on Mane's face, Gerald remembered the Flounder Swordsman's advice and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
He lowered his head, his heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I lost it, and from now on I will be out of the Temple of Glory!" ”
Gerald ...... It's better for you to think again. The lady frowned.
She glanced at Mane, and said in a slightly pleading tone, "Gerald is still young, and Mr. Wilf can't forgive him for his recklessness?" ”
"I'm sorry, but the contract has been signed, and I can't defy the power of the contract. As you know, the most important thing for us businessmen is the contract. Mani shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "And if you don't forgive him for being the god of war, it's useless for you to say this to me." ”
