Today's morning exercise ended in the performance of Cynthia and Veris, Merlin was not deceived by Cynthia to learn bows and arrows after all, although the archers in this year are all hung B, but Merlin himself knows how many pounds and taels he has, and he is not the kind of genius who knows what to learn, a swordsmanship is enough for him to learn for a long time, and with an archery, it will become a little bit of everything but nothing will be wasted.

Ordinary people like him still don't think about those who don't have it, mortals' energy is limited, and only by focusing a little can they reach the peak.

Merlin had the staff of the snake in his hand, and practicing swordsmanship was the only way to fully exert the power of this first-level seal, so from the perspective of maximizing the benefits, he still decided to continue to study the sword well.

But thinking about it, he seems to be almost a long-range attacker, although the staff of the snake has the ability to turn into a chain sword, but the level of his snake strength is still too low, after so many days of hard practice, the snake strength has just been upgraded from the first level to the second level.

The second-level curved snake strength allows him to swing the chain sword freely at a distance of five meters, and the attack distance of five meters is still a little too short, once he encounters a long-range enemy such as an archer, he will be very passive.

So the question is, is there any swordsmanship that allows him to gain the ability to attack from a distance as soon as possible?

Merlin, who was sitting in the demon carriage, couldn't help but look out the window, and in the rapidly receding streetscape, a shop managed to attract his attention, which made Merlin smile.

"Vile, in the short practice of swordsmanship, I have learned a truth, that is, although swordsmanship has no limit, but the times have limited the development of swordsmanship, and now that the times have changed, maybe our swordsmanship should also absorb a little fresh blood."

He beckoned the demon carriage to stop, and said to the head maid, Vialis, who was sitting across from him.

It is worth mentioning that the current head maid is not the usual delicate doll appearance, but the appearance of a real human girl, the hard body composed of wood and metal on weekdays has now turned into soft flesh and skin, and the whiteness reveals a bit of healthy ruddyness.

Compared with the cold and hard puppet, such a "living" maid is undoubtedly more moving, especially since she also has the white-haired attribute of Merlin's special attack, which makes Merlin feel a little unable to take his eyes off.

It's a pity that this is not to say that the head maid has unlocked the curse on her body, the reason why she can turn back into a human like this is all the effect of the gray cloak she wears.

Seal No. 2-007, Cloak of Flesh of the Undead.

It is a Level 2 Dangerous Seal, and its effect is to animate objects wrapped in cloaks, causing them to grow flesh and blood, turning them from dead to alive.

And if the wearer is a living thing, this cloak can further strengthen the wearer's physical fitness, making it a little superman-like existence, with infinite strength, super self-healing power, and so on.

It was Vioris who used the properties of this seal to temporarily activate the body of a puppet made of wood and iron into flesh and blood, so that she could return to her human form in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, the side effects of this seal are somewhat large, it will strongly stimulate the instincts of flesh creatures, and gradually reduce them to terrifying beasts driven by instinct.

What is the instinct of flesh and blood?

It's nothing more than survival and reproduction.

In order to survive, it is necessary to constantly hunt for nutrients, and in order to reproduce, it is necessary to find excellent heterosexual mating to produce the most robust offspring.

This seal was sent by Violet's father, the now powerful Archduke Violet after learning that his daughter had become a puppet.

For Vioris, this is indeed the most suitable seal for her, as long as she wears the cloak, she can temporarily turn back into a human, and her strength will return to its peak.

And the side effects of stimulating biological instincts are just enough to effectively stimulate and alleviate her symptoms of continuous loss of humanity and emotion due to the curse.

It's just that even Vioris's Sword Master's willpower can only wear the cloak for a maximum of 12 hours a week, otherwise it will be easily affected by the cloak and overwhelmed by the growing beastliness.

Normally, Vioris only wears this cloak about once a week, which is the best solution for constant trial and error, which will not cause too much mental burden, but also effectively alleviate the loss of human emotions.

During this brief revert to human, Vioris usually leaves the castle and goes to the market of Cornwallis to buy supplies for the coming week.

As the head maid, Veris naturally didn't need to do it herself to buy groceries such as supplies, but who made none of the servants in the castle still have a human form, so she had to come by herself.

Fortunately, Merlin is the only one in the castle who still needs to eat and wear, and this supply is easy to buy, even if the population of the castle has increased now, but if you bring the demon carriage, those supplies can be easily transported back, which is not a lot of hard work.

And now Vioris is no longer the bare-bones commander she used to be, she has two more novice maids under her command, which is a ready-made labor force.

Now the two sisters are sitting next to Vioris, and she has come to familiarize herself with the two novice maids this time.

As for Merlin, he was supposed to go to school in the morning to report to work, but he only had classes scheduled this afternoon, so after the demon carriage had sent Cynthia and Alice to school, he decided to skip the shift, wanting to follow the head maid to see what the bazaar was like in this era.

Well, in fact, he mainly wanted to go to the market to see if he could buy some spices and come back, and the variety of spices in the castle kitchen was so small that he occasionally wanted to open a small stove in the middle of the night to treat himself.

What do you want, this greatly limits his cooking skills.

And Vierlis, a maid from a big aristocracy, is very good at dancing knives and guns, but she is basically blinded by money, rice, oil, salt, etc., and Merlin has no choice but to follow herself.

...........

Following Merlin, Vioris stepped out of the carriage, and she looked up at the shop in front of her, then her expression became a little confused.

She still agrees with His Royal Highness's remarks about swordsmanship and the times just now, after all, as a sword saint, she knows that swordsmanship is constantly improving, and every swordsman's lifelong pursuit is to make his swordsmanship to the next level, and with the efforts of generations of swordsmen, there are all kinds of swordsmanship that are now blooming.

If your swordsmanship has been self-contained and stagnant, then even the Sword Master will definitely be eliminated by the times.

But ah, she understands the reason, but why is His Highness looking at a gun shop with such interest now?

Looking at the gun shop in front of her called "Magic Catapult Shooter", Vioris was full of question marks above her head.

She, the sword saint, really can't understand His Highness's thoughts, when did swordsmanship and firearms become related.

"Your Highness, are you here at the wrong shop, if it's a weapon shop, I know a few."

She couldn't help but remind.

"No, Vile, this is the swordsmanship of the new age."

Merlin turned his head and pointed to the various guns in the store with a serious attitude.

Seeing Violis glanced at herself, the maid at this time was a beautiful girl mentality, and because of the side effects of the cloak, this white eye rolled so much that there was a different temptation with spring in the corners of her eyes, which made Merlin's heartbeat slightly faster.

But that wasn't the point, and now Merlin's mind was drawn to the big, thick, hard guys in the store, and he continued to talk nonsense in order to increase his persuasiveness.

"Don't lie to you, this is what I saw before in a swordsmanship cheats left behind by an ancient Oriental sword master, the book is called "Reed Celebrity Kendo"."
