Chapter 17: Let Me Be Your Guide
The angel shining with holy light slowly disappeared behind Fang Zheng, and it was only then that the old bishop and Stone breathed a sigh of relief. They were all devout members of the Temple, and they naturally understood how high an angel could be in the Temple, and although the angel herself might not be as powerful as Stone, her mere presence was enough to make people feel a sense of pressure. Not to mention that although this big knight seems to have a big personality, he is also a devout disciple, even if he can fight, does he dare to fight the other party?
This is of course impossible.
At the same time, their eyes when they looked at Fang Zheng also changed a lot.
"Holy Spirit Protector ........."
The old bishop clasped his hands and stared at Fang Zheng. Although he guessed that this young man must have a great background, he didn't expect that the other party actually had a Holy Spirit Protector!
"This kid has a bit of a skill."
At this moment, Shi Dong also held his hands in his arms, looked at Fang Zheng with a satisfied expression and nodded. There are very few people who can make themselves suffer, although the other party seems to be a trick, but this is not a duel or a competition in the ring, and the real battlefield fight is not about fair competition, so Stonefei is not dissatisfied with the counterattack just now, but thinks that this little guy is really interesting.
"Hoo ........."
Put the sword back into the sheath, Fang Zheng was also sweating profusely at this moment, the final counterattack was really a fluke, if he hadn't been able to cast the Divine Storm at that time, then I'm afraid there would be no way to force Stone back.
However, to say that the biggest gain of this battle is that Fang Zheng completely recognized the gap between himself and these powerhouses in the main world. He originally thought that relying on the A-level proficiency of the Royal Cross swordsmanship, he could at least have a relationship with the other party. But I didn't expect to be in danger by the other party just by looking at him, if it wasn't for Shi Stone's lack of familiarity with his swordsmanship, then it was a question whether Fang Zheng could win by chance. This is still Stone who voluntarily surrendered and admitted defeat because of the destruction of the weapon, otherwise Fang Zheng still doesn't know what will become if he continues to fight.
Sure enough, the gap is still a little too big.
Shaking his head, putting aside the melancholy in his heart, Fang Zheng looked at Shi Dong and asked.
"Your Excellency Stone Stone, have I passed the assessment?"
"Hahaha, of course, funny little guy."
Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Shi Stone laughed and said in a depressed manner that was not defeated at all.
"You've passed the exam, but I've never seen you as interesting in a long time......... By the way, what's your name? ”
"My name is Fangzheng."
"Founder? I didn't expect you to be funny, and the name is just as interesting, it's rare to see such a weird name. ”
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Stone smiled, then he thought for a moment and looked at Fang Zheng again.
"So, Fangzheng, how about letting me be your guide?"
“……… Guides? ”
Fang Zheng was obviously a little surprised by this unexpected invitation, but Stone nodded quite seriously.
"That's right, huh......... To tell you the truth, from the battle just now, I found that although you have some combat experience, your foundation is not solid, and although the swordsmanship you have mastered is very powerful, you can't use it flexibly at all. In my opinion, this is a bit too wasteful, such a pure divine power, if not used properly, can be a tyrannical thing. What do you think? I think that's a pretty good idea. After all, I'm not one of those old antiques, I don't say any precepts in your ear every day, you just need to learn to fight with me, how about it? It's simple, right? ”
It's amazing.
Hearing Stone's words, Fang Zheng's eyes couldn't help but change. He knew his own family affairs, and although he had learned some martial arts or something, it was basically for the purpose of self-defense, and it didn't make any sense at all. And after coming to this world, Fang Zheng rushed to fight almost like a duck on the shelf, which was completely equivalent to a self-taught wild man from scratch.
Although Fang Zheng has also seen many martial arts novels in which those powerful swordsmen can judge the strength level of the opponent as soon as they fight, but the personal experience is still different after all.
On this continent, the guide is like a mentor, and it is a very honorable thing to have a guide.
So, should he accept this offer?
The answer is almost yes.
"Then please, Lord Stone."
Being able to accept the guidance of a powerful knight in this world is undesirable for Fang Zheng.
"Huh?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Shi Stone's eyes widened, and he looked at him with a dissatisfied expression, and Fang Zheng was not a fool, so he immediately changed his words.
“……… Mentor. ”
"Okay, hahaha, yes, yes, I finally have a student, this time I see what else that guy in Vala has to say!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Stone laughed proudly. The old bishop next to him rolled his eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just a sympathetic look from the other party.
……… Wait, why are you looking at me like that? What am I doing wrong?
Just when Fang Zheng was confused by the old bishop's eyes, he saw that Stone had already strode towards the door.
"All right, boy! Remember to prepare, starting tomorrow, I'm going to give you special training! ”
"Special training?"
In the face of Stone's puzzling words, Fang Zheng was also stunned, and he didn't react to what the other party was saying at all.
"That's right, you wash your neck and wait, you'll feel good next!"
"I see."
Frankly speaking, it was a bit surprising that he had to undergo special training just after joining the Temple, but in the Fangzheng world, he had long been accustomed to the vigorous and resolute actions of the army, so he was only slightly surprised by Stone's words and quickly agreed. Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Stone didn't say anything more, he just waved his hand at Fang Zheng, and then turned to leave.
The old bishop's expression changed a few times, and then he sighed helplessly, turned around and walked quickly in the direction that Stone had left.
"Stone! Stone! ”
"Huh? What's wrong? Old man? ”
Hearing the old bishop's shout, Stone turned his head and looked at the old man behind him.
"Are you really going to take that young man?"
"Of course, didn't I say that? Since they're already my students, they're definitely going to join me. And you can see it, that little guy is not one of those vain aristocratic little white faces, his swordsmanship skills are not bad, according to my opinion, it should be regarded as the level of intermediate knights. It's just that the actual combat experience is a little worse, and if I give him a good special training, he will definitely be able to do better. ”
"But even if it'.........."
The old bishop apparently disagreed with Stone's whimsical idea.
"Are you really going to do that? You see, the young man showed the protection of the Holy Spirit........."
"That's why I'm training him, old man."
Hearing this, Stone turned his head, and the originally somewhat frivolous smile suddenly disappeared and became serious.
"Luckily there are only two of us in the training ground, you say, if those cultists knew that we had a probationary knight with the Holy Spirit Protector, what would they do?"
"This ............"
Hearing Stone's inquiry, the old bishop's face couldn't help but change.
"You won't forget the catastrophe that took place in the Dark Fallen Moon, when the Holy Spirit Knights were almost wiped out, and after that we lost the Knights completely. Although the group of Chaos cultists also died subsequently, for the Holy Sect, the blow was almost fatal. ”
“………………”
This time, the old man did not answer immediately, he was silent for a moment, and then he sighed.
"Of course I won't forget......... It was a terrible time........."
"So now it's hard to see the Holy Spirit Knights on the continent anymore, and even their inheritance has dissipated........."
Saying this, Stone was silent for a moment.
"I think he might be able to regain the inheritance of the Holy Spirit."
"After all that, do you think I'll still agree to him being your student?"
The old bishop raised his brow and glared at Stone, who shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly.
"Of course, I'll admit that sometimes I've been rough, but you have to admit that it works, doesn't it? He is still too weak, if he can't even protect himself, then how can he grow? ”
Hearing Stone answer, the old bishop hesitated for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
"Okay......... I promise you. I'm not going to report this to the Episcopal Conference for the time being, and I'm sure only the two of us know about it, okay. ”
"Please, old man."
This time, Stone had a smile on his face again.
"Trust me, it was the right decision."
