Chapter 255: Actual combat training, Sophia's self-esteem
The next day, when I arrived at the Adventurers' Guild, Sophia and the others were already there with me.
"Am I too late?"
"No, no, we've just arrived here."
This time, in addition to Sophia's family and butler, several knights followed them. These knights belong to the Knights of the Sun, and they are the ones who can't help but lock me up in the dungeon.
Naturally, the rabbi didn't have a good impression of them, and hid by my side in silence.
This time, Sophia's actual combat training will take place at a ruin outside Tianyang City. It takes only three minutes to get there by horse-drawn carriage.
The exterior of the ruins is somewhat similar to the main part of the church, surrounded by moss and tree trunks. When I came to the door of the ruins, I felt a strange power emanating from inside.
I opened the gate and walked in, and there was a closed gate not far away. Continuing to open the gate, we came to the inside of the ruins.
The inside of the ruins was like a different space, with a stone wall under the blurred sky, and I asked Arthur curiously.
"What's going on here?"
Arthur knew my doubts, and the first time he came here was exactly the same as Nighta. Arthur explained to me with a smile.
"This is one of the Seven Heroes, created by Vulcan Red. In the depths of the ruins are the treasures of Vulcan Red. And the distance from the entrance, there are many monsters, and these monsters are also put in by the fire god red. ”
After listening to Arthur's explanation, I somewhat understood the existence of this place. Then, as we walked ahead, we found a wooden horse at the entrance of the road.
These things are only set up by goblins, because they are Sophia's actual combat training. So everyone took a step back and left the stage to her.
Sophia gripped the hilt of the sword in her hand and slashed at the horse, the blade of which could not be pulled out after slashing into the horse. Sophia gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength, but the blade did not move at all.
In order to take care of Sophia, I have been feeling Sophia's surroundings with "qi". Just as Sophia struggled to pull out her sword, the surrounding "qi" changed.
I bent down, took the knife out of the ring, and quickly threw it at Sophia. Because I was moving so fast, Arthur didn't react at all.
By the time Arthur and the others had reacted, I had already thrown the knife at Sophia.
"Sophia!"
Helen shouted anxiously to Sophia, who turned her head to look at her mother when she heard her mother's cries. At that moment, a knife quickly slashed past her cheek.
Suddenly, the screams of a goblin can be heard from behind Sophia. Only then did everyone discover that there was a goblin behind the rejection of the horse, and if it wasn't for Xiao Ye's attack, Sophia would have been attacked by it.
Sophia sat down in fright, and with her mother sat on the ground. I walked over to Sophia, picked her up, and said with a smile.
"No injuries, right?"
"Ah..... Hmmm....."
Seeing me treat Sophia so gently, the rabbi on the side complained.
"Why haven't you been so gentle with me?!"
"What are you talking about? Haven't I always been gentle with you? ”
"All I see is that you drool over me a lot."
Helen trotted over and began to examine Sophia's body to make sure she wasn't hurt. Suddenly bowing to me and apologizing, I was taken aback by Helen's move.
"I'm really sorry, Xiaoya, I actually thought you were going to hurt Sophia just now, please forgive me."
"Don't mind so much, it's only natural for mothers to worry about their children."
I didn't really mind it, but Helen was haunted by what she had just done. Sophia's actual combat training continued, but the sword stuck in the rejection horse could not be pulled out.
"What can I do about this?"
Sophia cast a distressed look at me, and I said to her.
"If your own strength is insufficient, then you can try your other strength."
After hearing my suggestion, Sophia instantly understood. Just now, I was so anxious that I forgot that I could do magic. Sophia stretched her right hand forward, and the wind around her changed.
The wind gathered on Sophia's right hand and eventually formed a compression ball. Sophia shot the compression ball in her hand at the rejection horse, and the next moment, the rejection exploded instantly.
The dagger fell to the ground, and Sophia picked it up and looked at me happily. I laughed and gave her a thumbs up, however, we all laughed a little too early.
Because of the sound of the explosion just now, the monsters in the depths of the ruins were stunned. Soon, several goblins came out with sticks, and when they saw Sophia, they rushed towards her.
In the face of the goblin's surprise attack, Sophia's body instinctively retreated, only to accidentally fall to the ground. Arthur looked at his daughter, shook his head, and then asked me.
"Xiaoye, do you want to try it?"
It is not difficult to see Arthur's intentions, which is nothing more than to see my strength and save her daughter by the way. I bent down and rushed over Sophia's side before the goblins arrived.
A spinning kick, with the blessing of magic accessories, directly kills the nearest goblin. After landing steadily, adjust your breathing and pull out the small knife.
The action is like a stream of water, and when it blocks the goblin attack, it can immediately counterattack. Action dodging is like flowing water, attacking and counterattacking is like thunder flame, and combat defense is like a rock.
At this moment, in Sophia's eyes, the child in front of him was a genius with no talent.
I exhaled as I looked at the goblin I had killed in an instant, and it seemed that my skills were gradually recovering. But when I turned around, I saw Sophia and the others looking at me in surprise.
The rabbi came to me and asked.
"Why are you such a dick, why don't I know?"
"Don't be obsessed with sister, sister is just a legend."
People have a sense of comparison, especially girls' desire to compare. After seeing the gorgeous fighting skills displayed by Sister Saya, whom she admired, Sophia patted her cheek hard to cheer herself up.
For the rest of the journey, Sophia was very active, she bravely walked at the front of the group, and I obediently followed behind her.
"Miss Sophia is full of fighting spirit."
"yes, it's like a licking dog received a message from the goddess and asked him to come and pay for it."
"You're saying something inexplicable."
After that, we continued to walk deeper into the ruins, and along the way, we encountered quite a few goblins, and only monsters like goblins.
The rabbi saw the sorrow on my face and asked me curiously.
"Xiaoya, what's wrong with you? A sullen look. ”
"I'm not depressed, I'm worried about the high-ranking goblins here."
My conversation with the rabbi naturally caught Arthur's attention, and he asked me.
"Why do you think there will be a high level of goblins here?"
"We walked here through the entrance, and we encountered monsters like goblins. If you follow what you said before, this should be more than just goblins. ”
Helen said, holding her chin.
"When you say that, it's true."
"Goblins are a kind of monsters that have a strong desire to occupy territory, but goblins alone can't protect the territory and can't repel monsters, unless they .........."
"Unless there's a Goblin High Rank ruling to lead them."
That being said, this is nothing more than speculation. However, Arthur and the others decided to stop at the point for safety.
Sophia was a little unhappy, she didn't perform well in this actual combat training. Instead, they all let Sister Xiao Ye clean up the mess for herself, like the goblin she met before.
She cleaned up one by herself, but she couldn't defend herself against the attacks of the second and third goblins, and her strong self-esteem made her decide to kill the goblin's high-level.
As the group turned around and prepared to leave, Sophia ran alone into the depths of the ruins. With this action, Helen appeared to faint in place, and the rabbi and I followed closely with Sophia, and Arthur and their guards followed.
