Chapter Thirty-Nine: Illania Takes a Moment

"How?" Aske, who had returned to the training site again, stared at Mia, who was still running below the hill, and asked.

"Not bad." Rasul replied, "Although people are not very intelligent and do not understand the details of their movements very quickly, they are still above normal level on the whole. ”

"What amazed me was her perseverance. Running in a certain position for 6 hours in a row, even in an illusory dream, the mental fatigue is very great. As an underage little girl, it is quite rare to be able to persist to this extent. ”

"She used to be a thief, and patience is an essential quality for thieves." "I remember she mentioned before that she used to follow her target for three days and three nights in order to steal something. ”

"Patience and perseverance are not the same thing." "There are many newcomers under my command who have the patience to listen to me lay out the training plan, but less than a tenth of them really have the perseverance to train according to the plan, and the rest can only be forced with whips and long knives." ”

"I was just going to give her a head. It's just that judging from the current progress, it doesn't seem impossible to teach the basics of instantaneous steps in this dream. ”

"As long as her body remembers this way of exerting force, and the details of the follow-up movements are corrected, Asker, you can handle it yourself."

"Of course." Asker paused, "Thanks, Rasul." ”

"No thanks." Rasul laughed, "There are not many people who know my identity and are not afraid of me. You are the first of those who dare to ask me. ”

Aske smiled and said nothing, he couldn't say that I knew you in my last life, we are still very familiar with each other.

Rasul stared at his expression, a little puzzled.

This guy ...... When you get along, you always give yourself a wonderful feeling of "old acquaintances".

But Rasul was certain that he really didn't know him before.

He looked at Mia, who was still running in a strange posture below, and suddenly jumped down the hill, drew his sword in the air and roared:

"It's too slow! Suffer death! ”

The blade slammed into the ground, and Mia suddenly swooped out more than ten meters away like a frightened rabbit.

"You've learned to walk." Rasul's sword was unsheathed, revealing a satisfied look, "Remember the feeling of power just now, don't forget." ”

Mia was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was now nearly twenty meters away from the position she was standing just now.

"Let's go, I've had enough of being here." Rasul said lightly, turning and walking into the distance.

"Don't forget to give me your contact information!" Asker reminded him.

With the liaison of the Assassin Order, it was much easier to have intelligence sources in the future, and the infiltration capabilities of these Assassins were simply pervasive.

Rasul didn't look back, just waved his hand.

"How does it feel?" Asker walked down the hill and saw Mia lying on the ground in a large shape.

"Tired." Mia said weakly.

"That feeling...... It's weird. She stared blankly at the sky of her dreams, thought for a moment and said, "It was as if the muscles in the lower half of her body were compressed, and then suddenly exploded, first the knees, then the thighs, and finally the calves." ”

"The whole person is like a spring, and it is bounced forward with all its might. Such...... Have I learned to walk instantly? ”

"It's still early." Asker laughed, "In Assasin's instantaneous learning, you can only be regarded as a temporary beginner, learning this way of moving at high speeds. ”

"To be truly combat-ready, you need to be able to launch a teleportation at any time, accurately use a slash or lunge to hit an enemy during the instantaneous step, and even change the direction of the telesphere at will in the middle of the process - the so-called reflexive dash."

"Hahaha." Mia laughed dryly, and couldn't help but roll her dead fish eyes, "I can't. Just at the introductory stage, I was almost paralyzed from learning. ”

"You're already very good." Asker encouraged her, "It only took me a week to get started. ”

"Ah, is it?" Mia snorted, "It means that your talent is not as good as mine." ”

"yes, yes." Asker patiently coaxed her.

The two were silent for a moment.

"It's kind of weird." "I feel the strength in my body...... Seems to be coming back? ”

"Not a delusion." Asker stood up and looked around, "The dream is over, we're being teleported. ”

A few minutes later, Asker opened his eyes and realized that he was sitting on a chair next to the arena.

In the center of the venue, there were countless contestants lying horizontally and vertically, and they were waking up from the ground one after another.

"How?" The leader of the Spartan mercenaries, Rudasius walked up to his side and asked.

"There are still a few powerful characters." As soon as Asker reached into his pocket, he pulled out a neatly folded list.

Although it is a note made in a dream, this special paper can be taken out of the dream, and it is estimated that it is also made of some rather magical and extraordinary material.

"Oh?" Rudasius took the list and looked at it for a while, and said speechlessly, "Your so-called powerful characters are these guys who have survived three minutes under your hands?" ”

"These people's playing styles are more personal, and their future growth potential is very high." Aske replied, "That's why I deliberately released the water." ”

It only took three minutes to deliberately release the water? What happens if you don't release the water? Do you want to kill each other directly?

Rudasius was completely speechless.

However, he also knew that this Asker's number of segments was quite high, and the low number of segments would hardly be able to complete the motions in front of him, and he would be caught and blown up if he showed a little flaw.

It is completely different from the Macho style of the Spartans who are reckless with each other and directly fight for physical fitness.

Therefore, he could only nod his head and silently write down a few people on the list.

"Oh, yes." Rudasius patted his head and said again.

"Two hours ago, just got the news."

"Thessaloniki has fallen." He said solemnly.

——————

Unlike Olin City, which is surrounded by natural dangers, Thessaloniki, the second largest city in the Eastern Solomonic Empire, has developed both land and sea transportation.

In peacetime, it is the advantage of a city to maintain a prosperous trade and trade; In times of war, easy access in turn became a great help for the besieging side.

Under the attack of the Latin Crusaders, who were many times larger than the defenders, Thessaloniki had no way to fight back.

After the capture of Thessaloniki, Emperor Baldwin of the Latin Empire announced that the second largest city in the Eastern Solomonic Empire would be transferred to Bernifasius, Count of Monferrat.

(This guy was one of the leaders of the crusaders who colluded with the Governor of Venis to lead the Frankish knights to attack Constantinople)

Bernifascius used it as his capital and proclaimed the Kingdom of Thessaloniki.

On the day of the founding of the state, about 20,000 citizens of Thessaloniki were taken to the vicinity of the Civic Square, where they were brutally slaughtered.

Of course, it was the deliberate officials who deceived them and then slaughtered them; It was still dissatisfied with the official rule and gathered people to make trouble, and as a result, it was ruthlessly suppressed.

The kingdoms of Olympia and Thessaloniki each disagreed, accusing each other of being responsible for the incident.

The only fact that can be confirmed is the massacre itself.

Olin City announced three days of mourning, all entertainment activities were stopped, and even the TV programs were replaced with solemn black and white.

Residents spontaneously gathered to erect hundreds of handmade monuments and altars in Olympia, and spontaneously offered flowers and wax to mourn the victims of the Thessaloniki massacre.

At the same time, more than 2,000 outstanding mercenary warriors who stood out in group battles also began to be dressed and trained by the Spartans.

War is on the verge of breaking out.
