Chapter 17: A Change of Door?
"What? Learning "Eight Leaves and One Knife Flow" in the reception room, when Victor seriously raised the topic, Hailiga was shocked. He turned to the smiling Sword Immortal who was sitting on a chair next to him with a look of disbelief: "What is the situation?" ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me." Victor stretched out his hand and pressed down to signal the boy to calm down, and then said, "I'll tell you one thing first. Although you said you don't remember, the sword skills you used in the ancient city that day don't quite match the style of our "Yarsidliu". After glancing at the young man who wanted to speak, he continued, "And the essence of 'Yaba' lies in its ability to integrate with its natural attributes, which is similar to your swordsmanship that fights by instinct. Moreover, the cultivation of "Eight Leaves" requires a large number of long-term one-on-one guidance from masters, and the practice is arduous, but the success rate is also higher...... Although not as prosperous as our "Alsedryu", the known descendants of the eight leaves, whether it is the "Sword Master" or the patron saint of Crossbell, are the supreme masters in this world. ”
"But my swordsmanship...... No, I don't have any memory at all, do I? It's just a saint's apparition or something......" the boy muttered.
"I've already investigated, and that power isn't because of the wonder of the ancient city itself, and it has nothing to do with the church, it's probably your own talent...... But in any case, that power is something you can't easily ignore, and if you use it well, you can achieve great things, and if you don't use it well, you will go to hell. It is your priority to control this power. ”
"Is it that exaggerated...... "The boy muttered inwardly, but said on his lips, "but, even so, can't you learn how to control it with your uncle?" ”
"I'm afraid not." Victor looked apologetic, "It's not that you don't know, although I am a warrior, I am also a lord, and I have to be entangled in other things, and I can't personally guide you for a long time, even Laura, Klaus has done most of the swordsmanship teaching for me...... But that one is different, he is a pure warrior, enjoying the nature and the landscape, and also has a lot of time to accompany and guide you, if he is there, it would be better. ”
The young man was speechless, because he seemed unable to refute it, Victor said: "You don't have to worry about this court and other issues, first, the various sects of this martial arts should strengthen communication and learning, and there is no need to worry about other people's gossip, and second, your "Alseidliu" swordsmanship itself has not yet reached the first transmission, strictly speaking, it is only a beginner, even if you really change the court, no one can say anything." ”
"I ......" The young man hesitated, but also moved, he really wanted to find out the hidden "power" in his body, and what Victor said was even more reasonable. Poorly controlled forces will eventually harm themselves and the people they care about, and they really can't ignore them.
"Don't worry, this matter needs to be thought about." The Sword Immortal, who had been silent on the sidelines, spoke, "When I return from Yumir, you can give me your decision again." ”
“…… Well. ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet, Brother Yun, what are you going to do in Youmir? Do you crave the delicacies of the mountains and seas there and miss the hot springs there? ”
"Ha, although those things are nostalgic, but this time it's really not mainly for that."
"Oh?"
"The baron of the Shu Huaze family is also an old acquaintance of mine. He recently wrote to him saying that something was wrong with his adopted son and that he needed my help. ”
"That's right...... That Baron Schwarzer is really ...... Leave no stone unturned. Victor sighed, the sword immortal naturally knew what he was referring to, and this matter had already spread in the imperial aristocratic circles.
Baron Shu Huaze's family has been friends with the royal family for generations, and the contemporary baron himself is a close friend of the emperor when he was studying, coupled with his own good demeanor, conversation, appearance, and temperament, he could have become a famous character in the aristocratic social circle. However, a few years ago, Shu Huaze's family suddenly spread throughout the country, and all kinds of gossip and cynicism came to him, and the unbearable Baron Shu Huaze directly chose to stay away from the nobles' social circle, and rarely showed up since then, only a few outstanding nobles who still maintain a decent style have dealings with him.
"That'...... What about this child? ”
"The qualifications are really good, and they are a good material. But I really don't see the kind of "power" you are talking about. ”
"The church doesn't want to say it, but I think it has something to do with them."

"Heiliga, I heard that my father asked you to worship under the door of the 'Eight Leaves and One Knife Stream'?" Laura pushed open the door to Helliga's room and impatiently asked the boy sitting at the table to take care of his weapon.
"Yes, Uncle did."
"Why?" Laura's brows furrowed, a little puzzled and a little annoyed, "I'll ask him!" ”
"No, no." Heliga comforted Laura, "Your Excellency the Viscount said that the hidden power in my body is of unknown origin, and I need to figure it out, and then I must control it well...... Because of his lordship, even you sometimes can't take care of it, let alone me. That "Sword Immortal" is a master of the same grade as your father, and he is extremely happy to accept me as an apprentice, so I have no reason to refuse. ”
"I didn't mean that......" Laura said with a rare shyness.
"Huh?" The aware teenager looked up at Laura, "What's that?" Because I have to practice with the Sword Immortal, I can't find a good opponent, so do I feel lonely? ”
“…… Well. There was another piece in Laura's heart that reminded her that "it's not like this", but Laura subconsciously ignored it, "It's hard." ”
"Don't worry." Heiliga smiled and said, "Sooner or later, you and I will inherit the family's titles and territories...... When the time comes, we can also exchange letters from time to time, just as my father and yours did, and get together every once in a while. ”
“…… Well. ”
“…… Thank you, Laura. ”
"Huh?"
“…… Didn't alienate me because of that strange power...... (whispering)"
“???”
"Nothing." Heliga put away the rapier in his hand and lifted the package at his feet, "It's time for the carriage to come, and it's time for me to go back to my hometown." Thank you for coming to me, you don't have to send me off. ”
“…… Well, goodbye. With a wave of her hand, looking at the young man who walked out of the Viscount's Mansion, Laura had a feeling of indescribability in her heart.
It's a feeling that I can't put into words, it's a little nostalgic, but it's a little uncomfortable.
We'll definitely see you again, definitely. Heliga, I await the day you return.
