Chapter 41: I Just Want to Exercise Seriously
Of course, De Youlan didn't make any strange requests, he just wanted to find a sparring partner, after all, learning skills and being able to use them proficiently are two different things.
It seems that in the game, De Yulan can hunt powerful monsters with a low-level character, although he doesn't like this kind of challenge, his favorite thing to do is to explore everywhere, loot the powerful weapons and armor in those ruins, and obtain materials from various hunts to create powerful weapons and armor, and then crush it all the way, but some people can't hunt monsters with a challenge level far lower than themselves with high-level characters.
De Yulan's request was easy to complete, and the Elven Ranger naturally agreed, but the meaning of the eyes that looked at him was unclear, and he definitely thought that the drunkard did not mean to drink. Anyway, that day, De Yulan went to the villa where the Arc Flame Adventure Group lived, and it happened that they had a training ground there.
At the beginning, Deyulan duel with the leader of the adventure group, Darusi, although Darusi is the tank of the adventure group, but he is not without swordsmanship.
Due to the failure of the adventuring group to hunt the demon spiders, not only did they not make money, but they lost a lot of money, and Camus now does not have much money to spend in the tavern. When Dejuran duel with Dalusi, he stood by and watched with relish.
Darushi focuses on strength and doesn't have much skill, as long as the level is high, it's easy to defeat him. Camus is a swordsman, in fact, there is no such profession as a swordsman in the game, the swordsman is just one of the warriors, focusing on skills, good at dodging, parrying, counterattacking, chasing and so on. De Yulan wants to duel him once, and he feels that he must have improved himself even more.
"You're no match for me." Camus raised an eyebrow when he noticed Dejuran looking at him.
"Only by challenging the strong can you become stronger, but I can't beat you before I look for you." De Yulan said, "I can barely be regarded as a swordsman, a swordsman, even if the opponent is a sword master, no matter what, I can't lose the courage to draw my sword." The latter sentence was said by a character he used to like.
Camus smiled: "I like this sentence." ”
The duel was so happily decided, Camus took a stance, and De Yeuran started with a charge, and raising his sword was a diagonal slash.
Camus stared at De Youlan closely, he had been practicing swords for some years, unlike De Youlan who had just started practicing swords, he saw through De Youlan's plan at a glance, and saw De Youlan swinging his sword over, took a step back and easily parried down, and then swung his sword to fight back.
With his excellent talent, Deyulan learns swords extremely quickly. It's a good idea to avoid enemy slash paths, but simply stepping backwards will make it easier for your opponents to follow you than you can. The strength of the swordsman was generally not high, and De Yulan did not dodge the attack, but clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands and swung a sword against the slash.
Attack, Dodge, Counter, Block...... There was nothing to say about the process, and after a few back and forth, Camus pushed De Yulan's sword away with the blade of his sword, and at the same time swung his wrist and swung the sword towards his upper body. De Yulan raised his head, it was better to lean his whole body back, he could dodge Camus's sword, but this time he completely fell into the rhythm of the other party. Finally, when Camus's sword rested on his shoulder, just a little distance from his neck, he was defeated.
"Deyuran is a good dish." De Youlan is lost, and Verne is very good at comforting, and on top of that, she will taunt.
How long have you been practicing swords, and is it a shame to lose? There's no shame in that. De Yulan slapped the little girl's head and said, "My dish, you are so good, are you okay?" ”
Vine said: "Yin and Yang are weird. ”
De Youlan bared his teeth, and he didn't know why he wanted to spank this little girl's ass.
……
……
It doesn't matter if you fail, it's good to try to catch up, and for a few days after that, De Yulan spent every day in the training grounds of the Adventure Group, where he learned a lot when the Adventure Group went out hunting and completing commissions.
Ideally, every defense should be an attack at the same time.
The best way to prevent your opponent from hitting you is to hit him first. It's time to maintain your position on the initiative instead of waiting for your opponent to attack and react passively.
Occasionally, newcomers make the mistake of unconsciously turning the sword in the process of swinging, and finally turning it into a slap with the blade of the sword. Always make sure you're slashing with the blade and not the other parts.
Don't just swing your arms to complete the chopping action, a chopping action is driven by your whole body and not just your shoulders, and once the sword in your hand starts moving, the footsteps should also follow.
A week later, De Yehlan and Camus were able to go through dozens of rounds, back and forth, although in the end they still couldn't escape defeat.
When the leaves became less verdant and there was a hint of coolness in the early morning and evening, De Yulan relied on the excellent body materials from the DLC character Rhodes, and the attributes that improved each level far exceeded that of ordinary people, excellent talent, and there must be reasons for Camus's carelessness, and finally defeated the other party once.
After seeing the battle that took place in the mining area, De Yulan deduced that Camus's strength should be the standard of an ordinary monster of about level 20, and with excellent weapons and armor, he may be said to be an elite monster. The members of the adventure group are really not wrong, otherwise how could the five of them get information and strategies in advance to fight an evil spider so hard, and they will be wiped out before they even hit half of the blood. Then to be able to defeat Camus, his strength should be more than level ten. It can't be the same level, everyone is at the same level, the player should crush ordinary monsters, only lord-level enemies are difficult.
"What are you staring at me all the time?"
De Yulan found Camus staring at him for five minutes, as if he could not accept the reality, and his heart was dark. Camus then offered a duel again, which he decisively refused. Camus was just careless and led to failure, and there was still strength left, but he did his best, and he would definitely fail miserably again.
……
……
After so many days, we have become friends.
"De Yulan, are you a nobleman?" Sitting on a bench next to the training ground after the duel, Camus asked.
"No, just an ordinary person."
"How could ordinary people know so much information about giant beasts."
De Yulan replied: "Read books, just read more books." ”
"So where did you get the Flame Explosion Scroll?"
"Picked it up."
"I believe it."
"Well, I said ......"
In the game, the player doesn't have any lines from beginning to end, but everyone else has lines, dubbing, etc., so it's definitely not that the game side is lazy. Until the game is cleared, there is no plot that introduces the origin of the protagonist, not a prince hated by the country, not a hunter in the countryside, not an exiled slave, it can be said that it is completely the person created by the player, the incarnation of the player in this world, and the initial title of a traveler in a foreign land.
It would be nice if it were like a traditional role-playing game, where the protagonist is a prince or the son of a grand duke's family, and he travels to the game where he needs to struggle for life...... Actually, I still like the way it is now, and I don't want to call stranger parents, which feels weird.
In this case, it is necessary to make up an identity that matches one's own identity. It can't be a rural commoner, otherwise how can you explain some of your usual habits, and you know so many things, of course, you can't be a child of a declining aristocratic family, no matter how much of a nobleman's family is verifiable, it's too easy to be exposed.
De Youlan's setting for himself - when he consciously travels around with the teacher, because the teacher is a very powerful character, he knows many things that others don't know, and there are some very strange habits because of the inheritance of the teacher, and finally the teacher left and only traveled around alone. Having said that, I used to be helped by a teacher, so I adopted the little girl Vernet, and now we travel together.
There must be a flaw in the deep investigation, and at first glance it sounds like there is no problem.
"Your teacher raised Xiao Zhengtai, and you raised Xiao Lori, it's really the same lineage." Camus nodded.
"Huh." De Youlan laughed.
"I have a question, your teacher is so strong, why don't you teach you?" Camus asked, and the flaws in the story appeared.
"I don't know why, I asked her for advice, but she didn't want to teach." De Youlan said.
"There must be a reason."
"Yes." De Yolan paused, "I don't want to say it, though. ”
"Say it." Camus said, "As long as you say, I will invite you to drink." ”
"Do you have any money? Don't end up paying the bill again. ”
Camus was like a fly pestering Deyulan, Deyulan finally couldn't stand it, he said casually: "Because the teacher said - what kind of martial arts does a boy learn, if he learns martial arts, he will only be brave and ruthless, just find a powerful wife to protect him, and if one is not enough, he will find many." "There are too many weirdos in this world, and sometimes creating a bizarre person makes people believe that it's mainly fun.
Camus was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter: "You said at the beginning, I thought you were lying, but now I start to believe it a little, how can anyone make it up like that." I really want to meet your teacher, such an interesting person...... If, according to your teacher's requirements, it feels like Valya doesn't meet your requirements. She never said how old she was, every time she asked her to make a gesture to hit someone, anyway, she was not young, and she was still a little ranger. ”
De Yulan thought to himself, Valya is just not strong enough now, and needs to grow and equip.
The two of them looked at the Elven Ranger standing in the distance, and the Elven Ranger and the Priest of the Adventure Band, Serra, were watching them as well.
"That Deyuran has seen it." Serra said.
"Hmm."
"I'm a little weird right now, does that Dejuran really like you?"
Valya glanced at Deyulan, she remembered the day when her partner confessed to her, and she felt embarrassed and perfunctory. Afterwards, the other party proposed to only charge half of the compensation from the adventure group, hoping that everyone in the adventure group would be sparring, and at that time I thought it was to get close to myself. I was a little afraid of what would happen, and I thought that the other party really just wanted to find a sparring partner. I have thought about accepting or rejecting many times, and I didn't ask myself to go on a date once, but I was with Camus a little more, what to do......
"I don't know." Valya said, not understanding why she cared when she didn't like each other.
