In addition to being the president of the Potions Guild, the old man is also the honorary director of the Potions Branch of the Tianlan Royal Naval Academy.

Raymond had long had the idea of going to the Royal Academy, after all, there was still a secret book of the high-level sword technique "Wind Sword Technique" that Sodros had left behind.

There were still a few days left before the final of the "Genius Potions Masters", and thinking that nothing would happen, he also went through the back door once, asked Boggs for the Dean's privilege token and went to the Royal Academy.

The Royal Naval Academy occupies a large area in the first ring, with dense gardens and fragrant birds, and it is the most powerful institution of higher learning in the entire Black Sea. Sodros spent some time at the Royal Academy, where he was once the Academy's brightest sword genius student, and later the youngest sword instructor.

......

"Huh..."

Not long after entering the gate of the Royal Academy, Raymond seemed to feel something, looking in one direction and frowning, because he felt a familiar and impressive "Qi".

He touched his chin and muttered, "I didn't expect the leader of the 'League of Assassins' to lurk in the academy?" Looks like he still has a big official identity..."

The "Qi" of the mysterious cloaked man who came out of the Musket Rose Tavern that night was clearly within the range of perception. No matter how he disguised his aura, the "Qi" on his body couldn't escape the domineering perception of seeing and hearing.

And Raymond is also well aware of the distribution of the Royal Academy complex. The area where the cold "Qi" lurked happened to be the area of the college's senior faculty and staff. Most of them are the first-class residences and offices of some deans and branch deans.

"It's weird... Since that guy is an important figure in the Royal Academy, how come he hasn't heard of it in the game? The only expert in the Royal Academy's arcane solution is the dean [Golden Lion] Anduin Un, who is like a flame, and it is obvious that the cold aura of the cloaked man is not right. Gee... The King of Tianlan is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon..."

Shaking his head, he didn't think much of it.

At least for now, the cloak man's purpose in assassinating the prince is probably for the throne, which is not in conflict with his own purpose for the time being. Besides, he himself didn't intend to cause trouble with that kind of arcane transcendent now.

The color disappeared in a flash, and Raymond and Judy quietly followed Ilya, the guide, and gradually walked towards the depths of the academy.

......

There are people above who are easy to do, which is really a wise saying.

In the game, players have to work hard to have countless serial characters to get in touch with the Tianlan Royal Library, and Raymond easily walks in with a dean's token. Although it still requires a large number of student contribution points to exchange martial arts, magic, etc., there is no shortage of such things in Boggs's tokens. No matter where they are, the high-level potions master will always be the few people who stand at the top of the wealth chain in the world.

Raymond successfully exchanged the advanced sword skill [Wind Sword Technique] with the Dean Token of Boggs, and the process went beyond imagination.

【Wind Sword Technique (Grade A) Lv0

Learning Requirements: Elementary Swordsmanship Lv8

Detailed explanation: Advanced sword skills, your sword is like the wind free; +90% Attack Speed; Comprehend the sword energy of the wind, and the normal attack comes with +18% bonus sword qi damage; Sword Damage +30%; Each level of skill increases attack speed by 12% and bonus damage by 8%.

......

The library is adjacent to the kendo academy.

The three of them walked out of the side door of the library, and at a glance they saw the "sword tablet" left by Sodros.

It is a black stone tablet that is placed in the courtyard of the kendo hall and is engraved with sword marks.

The tall black stone monument in the game is just a sculptural landmark, and has no special significance. But in reality, Raymond found something strange about it.

"Wait! I think this stele is a little weird..."

As he spoke, he stopped beside the stele. The more I looked, the more suspicious the color in my eyes became stronger, and after a while, I fell into deep thought.

Seeing this scene, Ilya and Judy glanced at each other, and without disturbing, they stood quietly and waited.

The actions of the three of them naturally attracted the fingers of those who entered and exited the academy.

This is the territory of the kendo academy, and almost all the people who come and go are swordsman students. The controversy between the high and low schools has been going on for a long time, and now the students of the kendo students "Huajian Flow" account for the vast majority, and they naturally look at the light sword flow.

"Haha... Look, there are still a few guys over there who are studying the sword tablet? Looking at their matching swords, they are really those guys who learn single-edged swords. ”

"The fast sword stream has fallen, and there are still people who learn this swordsmanship? Now only our 'Flower Foil Stream' is the strongest kendo school in the Black Sea, and Dean Dionysus is the strongest sword master in the Black Sea! ”

"Actually, the fast sword flow used to be quite strong, and Philip was so powerful at the beginning, saying that there was a blind old man who killed the 'stone man demon' Udil in sequence 5 with a quick sword..."

"So what? Didn't you finally lose under the sword of the dean? ”

"Legend has it that there is a mysterious sword technique hidden in the sword marks of this stone stele, and probably these guys also want to try their luck. But Sodros's 'Extreme Dao Stream' inheritance has been broken, can they understand this stone tablet? ”

"It must be incomprehensible, the 'Cook' senior who was the strongest in the academy's fast sword flow didn't comprehend it at the beginning, how could these people comprehend? Eh, you say, Senior Cook is so strong, how could he die on the adventure? ”

“...”

......

This background in the game is recorded in great detail, and almost every player of the swordsman profession knows the plot behind this stone tablet.

Raymond now has a good understanding of kendo, and this look has only revealed some doorways.

Even after a few decades, he faintly felt the sharp sword qi exposed. He carefully searched for the sword marks of different shades in front of him, and there was a faint feeling of déjà vu that he couldn't comprehend, as if he was jumping across a high wall to see the scenery outside the wall.

Just a little bit high, you can see the scenery outside the wall.

Ilya didn't mind the gossip of others, but was bored and asked, "Uncle, do you think these sword marks are familiar?" ”

Raymond nodded.

Ilya blinked, and then asked, "Then do you know the origin of this stone tablet?" ”

Without waiting for her to show off, Raymond nodded and said, "This 'Cold Shine Black Stone' is extremely hard and impervious to wind and rain, and legend has it that it was originally intended to be used to carve the statue of the old dean of the Royal Academy. Later, the night before Sodros left the Royal Academy, he left three hundred and sixty-one sword marks on it. It didn't take long for him to comprehend the Extreme Dao Sword Intent, and this was the 'Extreme Dao One Sword Stream'..."

"How do you know better than me, a legitimate student of the Royal Academy?"

Ilya pouted, slightly bored. Suddenly, she slapped her forehead again and suddenly said, "Oh! I almost forgot... Sodros is still the ancestor of your sword path. ”

Raymond shrugged noncommittally.

Although Ilya really has little interest in swordsmanship, her vision is not low.

She thought that Raymond hadn't seen the doorway, so she reminded: "Uncle, the sword marks on this stone tablet probably have a realm threshold, and if you don't reach the realm, you can't experience it." ”

Zhu Di on the side also looked at the sword tablet carefully. Her swordsmanship cultivation is not enough, and she faintly feels that this stone tablet is extraordinary, but she can't understand what kind of mystery it is. She muttered softly, "No wonder... I seem to feel some mysterious sword intent from this 'sword tablet', but I can't grasp it. ”

"Kendo realm is not enough?"

Raymond squinted, his eyes rolling.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and immediately used his potential points to increase the [Wind Sword Technique] icon that had just appeared in the skill slot to the maximum level.

Sure enough, the system prompt rang as promised.

"Huh... It's really good! ”

Raymond was overjoyed.

【Ding! Your swordsmanship is extraordinary, and you have comprehended a trace of extreme sword intent from the 'Sodros Sword Tablet'...]

【Ding! 'Wind Sword Technique (A)' has been successfully advanced to 'Storm Wind Sword Technique (A+)'. 】

"It turns out that there is really an advanced threshold for comprehension... Tsk, the skill level has been upgraded to A+, the damage and attack speed of the sword move have increased by about 15%, and the critical strike chance has been increased by an additional 1%... Not bad either. ”

Raymond looked at the new skill that had been replaced, revealing a hint of surprise.

No wonder no one in the game knew the secret of this "sword tablet", it turned out that the exclusive skill level was not enough, and it did not reach the threshold of comprehension.

Generally speaking, if a real-world transcendent learns advanced swordsmanship and wants to achieve "mastery", it is impossible to cultivate for a few years. Even in the game, swordsman players want to have a full level of skills, at least the character level must be several levels higher. But the truth is that when it comes to Sequence 5, everyone is in a hurry to go to the Endless Sea to adventure, who still has the heart to stay in a novice area like the Black Sea for a long time.

At this time, Judy looked at Raymond's face with a look of sudden realization, and asked, "Raymond, do you see the mystery?" ”

Raymond nodded and explained: "These three hundred and sixty-one sword marks are the [Wind Sword Technique] that Sodros used after comprehending the Extreme Dao Sword Intent, but the sword move contains the sword intent, which is half a grade higher than the sword book in the academy's collection. ”

"A sword move with sword intent?"

Judy frowned and looked at it for a long time, shook her head slightly, and said a little discouraged: "I still haven't seen Xuan Ao. ”

Raymond said, "It's normal that you can't see it now... If you want to comprehend the sword moves on this stone tablet, you must at least wait until the [Wind Sword Technique] has reached the realm of comprehension. ”

"Oh."

Hearing this, Judy glanced at Raymond, and a different color appeared in her crystal eyes. It turns out that he and his kendo realm are already so far behind.

"Hey, hey, hey... Uncle, you have just obtained the sword book of the [Wind Sword Technique], how can you understand the stone tablet? ”

Ilya on the side obviously saw something about the doorway, and asked curiously, "Why do I think you seem to have made another breakthrough in the sword realm just now?" ”

In fact, what she expressed was that when Raymond clicked on the full-level skill, the sword qi overflowed all over his body, which was obviously a sign of breaking the realm. But she couldn't believe that someone would be able to directly reach the level of "integration" not long after getting the sword book.

"Well, it's a small breakthrough."

Raymond naturally can't say that it is a system plus points, so he can only say haha: "It's probably a lot of accumulation... I already have enough understanding of basic sword skills, and even if I haven't learned advanced sword skills, I can understand four or five points at a glance. What's more, this sword tablet was originally the exclusive inheritance sword technique of my 'Extreme Dao Flow' lineage, and many mysteries were figured out... The sword marks of the stone tablet I saw just now saw the sun in a moment, and I realized it in an instant. ”

"Cut~"

Ilya pursed her lips in disbelief, and sighed again: "Sodros's predecessor's kendo talent is really exaggerated... I remember that he was only in his twenties when he entered the Sword Hero Realm and founded the 'Extreme Dao One Sword Stream'. So he comprehended the 'sword intent' at a young age, how did he do it? ”

"Comprehend the sword intent?"

Raymond suddenly thought of something.

When you have a certain level of understanding of swordsmanship, you can roughly understand the emotions revealed by the swordsman when he performs his sword moves.

Looking at the "sword tablet" in front of me, it is completely different from when I didn't understand it just now.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to understand the emotions of Sodros when he carved the sword tablet with one move. The sword marks on the black stone in front of me exude a strong cathartic emotion from beginning to end... The sword moves are initially full of sorrow and fierce despair, slowly transition to remorse and sorrow, and then slowly to emptiness and indifference...

This seems to be the prototype of the enduring "will" and "extreme sword intent" on the stele?

......

Seeing the stele, a thought suddenly flashed through Raymond's mind and slapped his thigh.

"That's right... How did I forget Sodros's last words! ”

Thinking of this,

He suddenly remembered that two years ago in Philip, Sodros's descendants had been wiped out because of these last words. At the beginning, he had stripped himself of an obsession from the soul of Afra's aunt, and happened to learn of Sodros's last words.

"I left the sword where I once saw hell..."

If you really want to think about it,

There happened to be a place in the Royal Naval Academy that matched the last words of "Sodros sees hell" in the last words!

As revealed in the original in-game expansion film, the reason why Sodros was able to perceive the "Extreme Sword Intent" had a lot to do with what happened on the night the stone tablet was carved.

Because, that night, he saw hell!

"Mayer Clive must have been aware of this information in the first place... It's been two years, and I don't know if he found the 'sword' left by Sodros in advance? ”

Raymond frowned slightly, but decided to try to find it.

"Ilya, are you familiar with the library of the Academy of Arts? I want to find something..."
