"But I haven't learned the art of swordsmanship." Chen Xiaodong said helplessly.

"You haven't studied swordsmanship?" Neil said in surprise.

Because Arad's war has lasted for nearly a thousand years, the people are basically good at martial arts, and the empire sends people to guide civilians in basic swordsmanship or fighting skills, and civilians who are not gifted will basically point basic swordsmanship or fighting skills, and if they find talented children, they will be excavated, some people have become free adventurers, some people have become tools of war in the empire, and some geniuses have disappeared inexplicably.

"Didn't study." Chen Xiaodong shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"What weapon did he use?" Neil asked Roy.

"It's too knife." Roy recalled that when he was in the cave, Chen Xiaodong seemed to be wielding a red knife.

"Oh? It's also a knife. Neil pondered, then added, "You take out the sword, I'll show you." ”

Chen Xiaodong's ring flashed, the autumn leaf knife fell on his hand, the bright red with a hint of heat, Chen Xiaodong handed the autumn leaf knife to Neil, Neil flipped over the autumn leaf knife, and couldn't help but be moved: "Good knife." But it seems that the grade is a bit low. ”

"Huh? Who made this knife? Neil suddenly saw a mark on the hilt of the knife, and said in a dull voice, this dull sound made Rand and Chen Xiaodong extremely uncomfortable, Albert and Roy were better, and Neil at this time was like a muffled thunder, and it sounded when he touched it.

Chen Xiaodong was overwhelmed by Neil's momentum, it seems that Neil knows Linus, judging from Neil's performance, it is estimated that he has a big holiday with Linnas, Chen Xiaodong is silent.

"Yes..."Rand just wanted to speak, but Chen Xiaodong covered his mouth.

At this time, Roy spoke: "It should be Linus, the blacksmith of the Elwin Line, who saved Chen Xiaodong, and Chen Xiaodong's sealing chain was made by Linus. ”

Neil then suddenly realized that Linus had saved Chen Xiaodong, and he was hostile to Linus, Chen Xiaodong would definitely not say his savior, Neil retracted that momentum, Chen Xiaodong and Rand were already sweating.

"Don't worry, I'm an old friend of Linus, not an enemy. You're good, and Linus's vision really doesn't disappoint. Neil looked at Chen Xiaodong appreciatively and sighed.

"Do you know Uncle Linus?" Chen Xiaodong was surprised.

"It's not just acquaintance, I was with him back then—" Neil suddenly fell silent in the middle of speaking, as if recalling something unhappy, and then said, "Don't talk about the past, Albert, you come to teach him swordsmanship." ”

"Me?" Albert pointed at himself, and Neil then tossed the weapon to Albert, who hurriedly caught it.

"You brought people, don't you like to teach people? Give you a chance. Neil stared at Albert, seeing through Albert's careful thoughts.

"No problem." Albert Na Na said, careful thinking seemed to be seen through, and then turned his head to look at Chen Xiaodong: "There are a total of seven kinds of swordsmanship in basic swordsmanship, and the assessment of Mar Academy is a total of three parts, the first assessment is to test your strength, the second assessment is to be able to release four swordsmanship in a row, to complete a perfect connection, and the third assessment content is the content that changes every year." ”

"Look, the most basic swordsmanship is to pick up, and the top pick pays attention to hitting the strength at one point, and then waving it out with both hands." Albert kept explaining.

Albert picked up with the autumn leaf knife, a sound of breaking the air exploded, and a strong wind swept past everyone, Roy glanced at Albert in surprise, this guy has become stronger again.

"Next is the three-stage slash, the mountain collapse attack, the aerial slash, the block, the thrust, the silver light falling blade..."Albert kept explaining the techniques and practical operations of each swordplay.

Rand yawned when he listened, and dozed off on the chair next to Neil, Roy entrusted Chen Xiaodong to Neil, Neil also agreed in a daze, and began to fall asleep in the chair, Chen Xiaodong listened with relish, time passed quickly, Albert's mouth was dry, and it was already dark.

"Okay, this is the practical method of the seven swordsmanship, I'll go back first, tomorrow's assessment will depend on your own performance, and tomorrow's weapons are unified, don't use your knife, otherwise you will be disqualified." Albert's lips turned white, and he returned the autumn leaf knife to Chen Xiaodong and left the Mar Academy.

After Albert left, Chen Xiaodong smiled, it seems that Albert is not as proud as in the game, and he is also a keen young man, Chen Xiaodong looked at Neil and Rand who were sleeping soundly, shook his head, turned around and saw that Roy had left, Lucylian had disappeared, Chen Xiaodong stepped forward to shake the two of them awake.

Rand and Neil opened their eyes in a daze, and Neil yawned, "Is it over?" Oh, it seems to be the end. ”

"Goo" Rand's stomach screamed, Rand touched his stomach embarrassedly, Neil smiled: "Let's go, you can stay in my house at night." ”

Neil took Chen Xiaodong and Rand back to his own residence, the house is also very simple, it looks like it has been a lot of years, Neil's residence is very deserted, there is no one around, Neil took out a few breads from the cupboard, and a bottle of strawberry jam, the bread is a little black, it looks like black and hard bread.

"Let's make do with it, it's the best meal I've ever had in my house." Neil said a little lonely.

Where can Rand manage so much, grab the bread and smear it with strawberry jam and eat it directly, Chen Xiaodong said thank you, and also picked up the bread and started eating, Rand gobbled up the bread and was suddenly choked, Neil smiled and took a glass of water to Rand.

"Knock knock" There was a knock at Neil's door.

"Who is it?" Neil muttered to himself that no one had been to his place in a long time.

Neil pushed open the door, a figure was trembling in the moonlight, Neil caught the moonlight and took a closer look, it was a middle-aged woman, Neil was surprised: "How is it." ”

"I heard Albert say that you have two guests here, so I'll send you something." The middle-aged woman handed a basket to Neil, exhaled, and said, "I'll go first, you remember to eat." ”

The middle-aged woman left after speaking, and Neil said in her figure, "You don't need this!" ”

When the middle-aged woman heard Neil's words, her body trembled a little, and she sped away as if she had not heard it.

Neil returned to the room, put the basket on the table, was silent for a while, and said to Chen Xiaodong and Rand, "Eat." ”

Rand hurriedly opened the basket, there was a strong aroma in it, Chen Xiaodong looked still steaming, there was a plate of barbecue and fresh vegetables, as well as bread, with a bottle of blueberry jam, Rand was a little difficult to be confident, until Neil nodded, Rand happily started eating, Chen Xiaodong also started.

Neil took out a bottle of wine and poured it into his mouth fiercely, Neil's eyes began to turn red, and he looked at Chen Xiaodong and said hoarsely, "Do you want to hear a story?" ”

……

The next day, Chen Xiaodong woke up, saw Neil lying on the table, and was afraid for a while, walked to the window to take a look, it was not yet dawn, Chen Xiaodong pondered, walked outside, thought about the skills taught by Albert, took out the autumn leaf knife and practiced.

Gradually dawned, Chen Xiaodong wiped off his sweat, entered the room, and woke up Rand softly, Rand woke up just when he woke up and wanted to say something, but Chen Xiaodong covered his mouth, Chen Xiaodong whispered: "Let's go, I'm going to sign up." ”

Rand nodded, and Rand, who suddenly woke up, broke out in a cold sweat, Neil almost didn't control his strength last night, but fortunately, Chen Xiaodong wittily asked Rand to pour Neil crazy wine, and then Chen Xiaodong took the opportunity to knock Neil unconscious.

The two exhaled after walking out of the room, and Rand said with palpitations: "I can't imagine that Neil and Linus still have such a story, I can suddenly understand Neil's feelings." ”

"I can understand Linus's feelings." Chen Xiaodong sighed.

Neil told the story of his adventures with Linus last night, as well as Linus's friend Udon, who was originally three brothers who grew up in a village in the Delos Empire and joined the Delos Empire's army together.

During a hunt between the three of them, a human infected with the power of Kazan's curse suddenly burst out with a powerful power of ghosts and gods, and Udon and Neil were infected with Kazan's curse, and Udon and Neil temporarily controlled the power of ghosts and gods.

Later, Udon could not suppress the power of the demons and was counter-controlled by the power of the demons, and when Linus and Neil tried to subdue Udon they accidentally killed Udon by mistake, Linus, who felt guilty for Udon and his wife, left the Imperial army and came to Hutton Marr.

And Neil was afraid of losing Linus's Delos Empire, so he moved to Udon's family and deceived Udon's wife to Hutton Marr, and later Udon's wife knew the truth and washed her face with tears all day long, Neil and Linus also began to have a strong rift, Linus then went to the Elvin Line to become a blacksmith, Neil continued to practice swordsmanship, suppressed his own ghost power, and finally became a sword soul, and coincidentally became a mentor of Mar Academy.

Chen Xiaodong and Rand glanced at each other, sighed, and walked towards Mar Academy, because today is the official admission day of Mar Academy.
