Chapter 1 – Contact

After the sun rose the next day, we arrived at Willover. It's a big town, different from where I used to live, it's much more prosperous, and the citizens are thriving, and you can see how satisfying life is. But it's no wonder that I feel nervous to see that the army that has just returned from our town still suffers a slight casualty, but after a while it will return to the same optimistic atmosphere as before. We will pass through the main part of the town. Head to this new "home". When I came to it, from the outside, it looked like a castle but not so big. He is located on a hill near the town, surrounded by hills. At the end of this road, there is the gate. The slightly decayed wooden door creaked open, as if you could still hear the momentum that had existed. Walking through the gate, I saw two gatekeepers standing straight to welcome the owner back. After a glance, the floor inside was basically paved with stone bricks, and it seemed that there was someone to clean it particularly neatly. Then I came to the stable, and General Ao Rui carefully dismounted and helped me down. After the events of the previous day, I couldn't help but be haunted. He sighed lightly when he saw that my eyes were still very hollow. After that, he led me to his bedroom. His room was very tidy, and the sunlight shining through the window looked like the whole room was pouring gold, especially bright. He gently carried me to the bed, and the sound of his armor colliding made me feel reassured.

"Child, take a good rest, I'll ask someone to prepare something for you to eat."

Then he turned around slightly, for fear that he would disturb me by making the armor sound because he was moving too much, and then gently pushed the door and went out. "Although I am never afraid of being disturbed by sound when I sleep," he silently complained in his heart, and then lay down with peace of mind. But of course I can't sleep, after all, I just lost my loved one a day ago, how can I sleep peacefully. This shadow still lingers in my mind, and even my best friends have been treated cruelly, and I feel disheartened when I think about it......

Later, some breakfast was brought in, and he was told that General Ao Rui had gone to sleep in the servant's room after taking a bath. It seems that the battle made him particularly tired, after all, it was a midnight battle to a victorious retreat, and then to return early in the morning. I still admire it when I think about it. The order was then sent to the royal family, and when the royal family learned of this, they strengthened the garrison on the border with Arno. Since then, General Ao Rui will come every day to open my heart knot for me, so that I can rest assured that I will hand it over to him. The shadows haven't disappeared, but at least they've been able to open up. Gradually, I gradually integrated into the place.

I love this place, this "home" is very strange, but everyone is very nice to me. There are 20 to 30 people here, each with their own job. Of course, there is one person who must be said, the director of the house. He always wears a supervisor's suit, and his speech contains vicissitudes and composure, looking like a schnauzer who has had some experience. He was very nice to me, at least he felt cared for, and he was even more dignified towards others. Maybe it's because he's the supervisor here, and he's in charge of everything from expenses to management. After coming here, I gradually opened my mind and began to travel around here to gain some knowledge.

One day, I was wandering around, keeping myself hidden from anyone. When I walked to the terrace, I happened to see Ao Rui and Stone, they were dressed in daily clothes, General Ao Rui looked at Ao Rui with fighting spirit, and Ston still put his hands behind his back as calmly as before, looking at Ao Rui.

"Are you ready to start?"

"Let's show it to the fullest, senior"

Then they picked up the wooden swords that seemed to have been prepared in advance. Then they distanced themselves from each other, and they both confronted each other with their hands clenched and the tips of their swords pointed at each other. I had never heard of this before, but since they would have a relationship, Naston's identity was even more unusual. It just so happened that I hit this opportunity, so I simply hid behind the basket next to them and watched them secretly, waiting for them to make a move. At this time, Ao Rui rushed towards Ston at a very fast speed, and his steps were extremely powerful, and even I could feel the ground trembling not far away. Ao Rui adjusted the direction of his sword to the left, and when he got close enough, he began to swing from the bottom of his seat to the upper right. Ston was not nervous, and skillfully slashed down with his sword, blocking Ao Rui's sword, and began to lean forward with his body, crashing towards Ao Rui.

"Bump?!"

Ao Rui didn't seem to expect the other party to attack like this, so he said this hesitantly. However, he adjusted the sword that was blocked and was located below, and stabbed it at Stone. However, Ston didn't panic, lifting his sword and holding it on his side, easily flicking off the stabbing attack. Saying that it was too late, it was too late, and Ston bounced off the attack and continued to spin and turn quickly. After being bounced off the attack, Ao Rui also turned around and slashed at Ston. But Ston had already slashed at Ao Rui's side first.

"It's over"

Stone's sword stopped where it had already been cut. It seems that this round was won by Ston.

"The combat experience of the seniors is really too rich, come again"

"Then go ahead"

After that, the two began the next battle.

Ever since I learned about the fight, I sneaked over to see them as soon as they disappeared, and the weapons they used were all kinds of weapons, such as machetes, spears, halberds, and so on. However, General Ao Rui and the housekeeper are still unable to understand this. I thought that if I asked them in person, I would be known if I secretly watched them fight. Just watch it by yourself secretly.

About half a year later, after some special thinking, I took the initiative to find Ao Rui and said:

"Uncle Rui, can you spar with me?"

"Why? Kid, have you ever fought before?"

"No, but I want to try"

"Well, it's always good for a boy to have this kind of heart hahaha"

Ao Rui seemed so interested in my desire to fight that he would laugh openly.

When I came to the balcony, there were all kinds of weapons here, because it was the general's home, and it was normal to have many weapons, and I didn't care about anything.

"So, what kind of weapon do you want to practice?" Ao Rui spoke.

"This ...... Hmmm......". I walked over and took the short sword I used to watch them fight. It's wooden, but it feels different, and it's heavier than you expected.

"The wooden weapons here are all used by magicians to reinforce magic, and there is basically no need to consider damage, and they are most suitable for combat drills."

Ao Rui explained. I was embarrassed, so I took this wooden dagger

"That's it."

"The short sword is right, it's pretty basic, but there is a guy in the apocalypse who is very good at holding a short sword, and it shouldn't be underestimated."

Subsequently, because I provoked it, Ao Rui asked me to attack first, but Ao Rui said that he would definitely release the water.

"This wooden sword, after all, is made of wood, so it will be very light"

This was a little sarcastic to me, but he probably didn't know it. I could see the excitement and a little interest in Ao Rui's eyes, for my first battle. At first, he still held his sword in both hands as before. However, in my eyes, this is not very flexible, so I chose to hold the sword with one hand. However, he has no experience in his own tactics, so he can only defend himself with a weapon, pointing forward with his right hand pointing forward and his left hand forward, in the middle of his right hand and chest.

"You are like a dagger gesture, although the short sword is not inadequate"

"Is that so?"

I was amazed that there was such a grip and I didn't pay much attention to it. Then, as usual, he charged at him with a light stroke, his right hand holding the sword behind him. Because I watched a lot of battles between Ao Rui and Ston before, I still had some epiphany. When I was about to get to him, I kept an eye on his movements. Seeing that he was slightly prepared to tilt his sword to the left, it seemed that he thought I would swing it from the right. However, I turned my wrist and pointed the head of the sword at Ao Rui, stabbing it in an instant. At this time, it was obvious that he suddenly panicked. He then flung his sword sideways, blocking my attack. However, I took advantage of the situation and pulled back with my right hand that was blocked to the left. Switch the sword to the left hand in the back and stab again. The coherent switch surprised Ao Rui, but he suddenly shifted to a sword in his right hand and slashed upwards to deflect my attack again. But I still have a countermeasure, my left hand basically can't be retracted at this time, but the right hand is drawn from the side, the left hand is released so that the right hand is reversed to take the sword, and then do a downward attack. At this time, Ao Rui suddenly stepped back and dodged the blow. If you don't dodge, this blow is almost sure to hit......
