Chapter 4 Swordsmanship Training
When I returned home, everyone except Fiona was very happy, and she told me more than once in private: Saving your life in case of danger is the most important thing, and I naturally agreed, and asked her for advice on the excuse that I was too weak.
My real purpose was to spend more time with her, like a boy in love, all to deepen their impression and understanding, how could Fiona know that her brother was plotting against her?
Pursuing Fiona became the first thing he did when he came here, is life finally going to counterattack?
I still had three months to go before I officially entered the service, because I was only fifteen years old at that time, and according to the law of Demacia, I could only join the army at the age of fifteen, and anyway, the Noxian army would not be able to arrive for a while, so I was not in a hurry.
In fact, I wondered why I was able to reduce the casualties of the two armies and travel into this world, was there anything strange about me? I can't find out on my own, so I'll have to wait for time to reveal.
For the rest of the day, I spent almost every day with Fiona, and I don't know if the two of us were like this before, but I was a little jealous when I thought of it, and she was surprised and relieved by my studiousness.
Of course, most of my efforts were to covet her, but I didn't reveal my thoughts, because as long as I was with her, I was satisfied, and I never tried to do anything superfluous, after all, I wasn't sure if I belonged here.
But sometimes there is still a little impulsive, such as staring at her with eager eyes, hoping to convey his heart.
She has been turning a blind eye, and occasionally her attitude will become cold, heh, I thought that I would not make such a childish act again, but I didn't expect that when I was really moved, it was still difficult to think normally.
Fiona was very serious about my teachings, and my hard work made me improve my swordsmanship a lot, especially the move of blocking the enemy's blade with my sword, which I practiced very well.
I don't need her to say that I know that this trick is called: Laurent's Heart Eye Knife.
As for the Blade Waltz, she didn't show it to me, I don't know if it was too difficult to learn for a while, or if she didn't have this trick.
Halfway through the day's practice, Fiona suddenly stopped, and said that she had commissioned a swordsmith in the city to forge a sword for me a few days ago, and that she would take it with me when I joined the army in the future, and that it was time to pick it up today.
Originally, she was going to pick it up herself, but later agreed to take me with her at my strong request.
I've been in this world for a few days, and I rarely go out, and I basically go out for business, but this time I want to go around Miyin City and experience different customs.
Built on the western coast of Demacia, where you can often feel the sea breeze, the terrain here is broken, and many buildings are built along the mountain, and some even the entire mountain has been developed to become a place for people to live.
The houses here are made of white stone, and from a distance it looks like it is covered in silver.
Miyin City is probably literal, I heard that this white stone contains many forbidden magic stones, and it has a strong suppressive effect on magic, so mages can't use magic here at will.
Laurent's house, like the royal palace, was built on a relatively open flat land, and the place where we took our sword was on the hill, although they were both in the same city, but the road was not close, thanks to which I enjoyed most of the city's scenery.
We climbed up a hill full of houses and people, and when we reached the top, there were quite a few streets.
Most of the people here were merchants, selling all sorts of strange things, and I had never seen many things, so I was delayed for some time, which caused Fiona's displeasure, but she didn't get too much of a hindrance.
After a few turns, I finally saw a blacksmith's shop, the walls of which had been dark for a long time and there were many people lined up at the door.
Fiona explained to me that Harley, the smith here, was the most famous swordsmith in Demacia, so whenever visitors from out of town came to Secret City for business or pleasure, they would come here to buy a weapon of their choice.
In fact, I don't need her to say that I also know that Demacia's weapon making technology is the most exquisite in the entire continent, especially the integration of the forbidden magic process makes the weapons here have a very wide range of applications, and some people do not hesitate to travel thousands of miles just to buy a weapon to take advantage of.
When the two of us were honestly lining up in the back, we suddenly heard a commotion in front of us and someone arguing.
One of them did not look like a Demacian, and the other was a man who looked like three non-commissioned officers, and the badge on his chest was the image of a broken axe - they were from the Dali family.
"I'm so unlucky, how did I meet them here?" Listening to Fiona's words obviously hated them.
The outsiders were quickly chased away by the DalΓ family, and then one of them spotted Fiona and me, and came over with a smile and struck up a conversation:
"What a coincidence, Miss Fiona, it's a pleasure to meet you here, and I'm going to buy a gift to visit your mansion."
"Don't be so polite Jon, I've been very busy lately, I'm just afraid that the hospitality will not be good, so you might as well choose another time."
"You still hate me so much, but my love for you is growing deeper, and I have already told my father that when the war is over, I will propose to Lord Fili, and it will be a good thing for us."
"My marriage is up to me, and I can get it, but you have to overcome me first."
Fiona didn't give him face at all, but he didn't care: "I believe I will get your approval." Then he turned to me: "Hey Levo, remember me?" Brother Jon, who used to play with you a lot, heard that you were chosen as the savior of Demacia, congratulations. β
"I'm sorry I forgot."
When I heard that he was going to propose to Fiona, I was very disgusted, and now I am already jealous, so naturally I will not give him a good face, it didn't matter what kind of relationship we had before, now I have changed.
Jon's face sank, and it seemed that no one had ever dared to do this to him: "You will regret it!" After saying that, he left with his men, and his arrogant appearance was the same as that of General Dali at the palace meeting, and it seemed that the family style was like this.
"Hmph, ridiculous." Fiona shrugged off, found Master Harley, received the predetermined sword, and left.
Because of the long distance and my previous stay, it was already late when I got home, but I still practiced for a while before resting, and there was not much time left, and there was still more than half a month left.
During this time, I learned more about Demacia, and I also knew that Demacia was currently under the control of the five major families.
Among them, the Shield Family, the Crowning Family, and the Dali Family control the entire country's army, the Tabor family is in charge of divination and rituals, and is the only family in the country that is allowed to use magic, and our Laurent family is similar to the prime minister, in charge of the kingdom's economy and most of the internal affairs.
Originally, I had a clear understanding of the worldview of Runeterra, but now I am more familiar with it based on my personal experience, and I have basically integrated into it.
I didn't see any more acquaintances, nor did I see Zhao Xin, who I had been expecting, and strangely enough, I asked Fiona, but she didn't know that there was a guard named Zhao Xin in the palace, and at the same time explained that she didn't go to the palace much.
In the intense training, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three months were over, and I memorized the swordsmanship that Fiona taught me, and I was very proficient in using it, and I was officially graduated.
I suddenly didn't want to join the army, not because I was afraid of fighting, but because I was about to part with Fiona, I was very reluctant to give up, she was the first person I saw when I woke up here, she was very kind to me, and at the same time, I loved her.
But I will not make such a request, because only by protecting Demacia can I continue this peaceful life.
I aspire to make a mark in order to gain her approval, not as a younger brother, but as a man.
There was no practice today, and everyone was busy setting up, because tomorrow there was going to be my coming-of-age ceremony, and then I was leaving here for the Dreadnought Pioneer Barracks.
The reluctance intensified, and I went to Fiona's bedroom in the evening, and the servant at the door tried to go in, but I stopped him with a silent gesture.
I've never been to her bedroom since I've been here, even though we're not far away.
Pushing the door in, I immediately felt two disappointments, one is the layout of the house, I originally thought that her face was cold, but in fact she would be a person full of girl's heart, but I didn't expect the layout in the room to be no different from mine.
The second is that she is still wearing the same training clothes during the day, although this kind of clothing is tight-fitting and can show off her bumpy figure.
But at the beginning, you can still feast your eyes, and it has been this style for more than three months, which inevitably makes people tired of judging "beauty".
At this time, she was sitting in front of the window in a daze, and she didn't turn around when she heard someone coming in, obviously she didn't know it was me, thinking that it was a servant who came in: "What's the matter?" β
"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't practice today, and I miss you a little." Before I knew it, I had also gone from a straight man of steel to a flam tongue.
"Levo, it's you! Why do you come into my room and not say hello, it's rude, you know? β
"But you often come into my room and don't say hello, and I suspect that while I am sleeping, you have seen my body out."
"I watched you grow up, will you be rare in your body? Flim tongue, didn't you teach you itchy skin today? β
"The skin is itchy, and the heart is itching."
"Oh? Do you have something to say? β
"Tomorrow is my coming-of-age ceremony, and then I'm leaving, and I'm a little reluctant, so I'm here to talk to you."
"It just so happens that I was thinking about you just now, and it's just the right night, let's go out for a walk."
Although it is not as grand as the palace, the courtyard of Laurent's house is quite magnificent, and the back of the house is close to a hill, and I often look through the window to see the scenery there, but I have never been there, and tonight I just enjoyed the night view of the hills.
Out of the courtyard, we walked side by side on the hills looking for a way to walk, no one spoke, I simply enjoyed the silence, but I didn't know what Fiona was thinking.
After a while, I found a relatively flat place, so I pulled her to sit down, it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the night breeze was refreshing, blowing on the waistless weeds, and the sky was full of stars, and it became a fairytale world.
"You ......"
"You ......"
Originally, no one spoke, but as soon as they spoke, they all spoke, this kind of bridge was not only found in film and television dramas, Fiona asked me to say it first.
