Claudia slept very ordinarily, she didn't dare to sleep too deeply, and it was very uncomfortable to sleep in her clothes.

After waking up early, Claudia did her routine morning class, and after tidying up a little, she went to the adjutant's office to get to work, and she needed to deal with the non-urgent official documents and information sent last night.

A guard knocked on her door and conveyed Varian's summons to her: "Major, Your Majesty invites you to go to the martial arts training grounds. ”

Is there anything King Varian is looking for me at this time?

With a little doubt, Claudia walked to the training ground, which is a magically constructed training ground, and after the workout, as long as the damage is not particularly serious, she can use a certain amount of magic to restore the venue to the way it was when she remembered magic.

Next to the two rows of armory racks, a guard was waiting nearby to serve the king, and Varian was waiting for her energetically, looking well rested.

"Claudia, I once heard Marcus say that your swordsmanship is very good, so you and I will practice swordsmanship today."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Claudia immediately agreed, Varian likes swordsmanship, this is a well-known thing in the palace, and he likes to practice swordsmanship with people, General Marcus, Duke Vortagen, Duke Satumbreck, etc. have all practiced with him in the morning, and it is not surprising to call Claudia today, in the storm fortress, her level is already considered top-notch.

Claudia put her silver hand aside, went to the weapon rack next to her and took a thin iron sword that had not been sharpened, walked five meters opposite the king, and after performing a standard knightly salute, she held the long sword with both hands and made a starting gesture.

Varian also drew his sword, the difference was that he held the sword in one hand in his right hand, hung it down casually, and said with a strong confidence in his tone: "Come, do your best, attack." ”

Claudia attacked first, slamming the ground hard, the reaction of her hind feet causing her figure to draw a black line and stab her sword straight at the king.

Bite!

In the face of the girl who was approaching quickly, Varian's right hand raised the sword, the movement was not particularly fast, but it accurately sealed the girl's sword style, but the girl who was stopped from attacking was not surprised, and she stepped back a little and jumped up again.

Ding Ding Ding.

There was a crisp sound of two swords clashing between the two, Claudia's speed was very fast, she knew that her strength was not as good as Varian's, so she specially chose a light sword to better play her speed advantage, but although Varian's movements were slower than hers, the sword in her hand could always accurately block Claudia's attacks.

And Claudia could sense that Varian was far from doing his best, and was only blindly defending against her attacks.

After a few more sword strikes, the blonde girl stepped back and conceded defeat.

"Your Majesty, I am no match for you."

Varian pondered for a moment about the girl's swordsmanship, and commented:

"Well, your swordsmanship can be seen to have been trained hard, and the people who taught you swordsmanship are of a very high standard."

"But he should be a man with a lot of stamina and a lot of strength, and he is better at pressing the enemy head-on than forcing the opponent to show his flaws at a faster pace."

Claudia's words made Claudia think for herself, and indeed her father, who was in charge of enlightening Claudia in swordsmanship, was a man who was far stronger than the other warriors.

"If you want to win with speed, you need to do more than just be faster than your opponent, but more importantly put your opponent into your rhythm, like you can ...... this stab."

Varian then pointed out the many shortcomings of the girl's attack, and Claudia noted them down one by one, and finally Varian said:

"Let's do it again, your physical foundation is still much worse than mine, this time you can use the Holy Light to increase your strength and speed."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Claudia poured the light into her body, and with the blessing of power and the speed of the light, she attacked again, and rushed straight at Varian like an arrow from a string.

Facing the girl who was much faster than before, a hint of excitement flashed on Varian's face, he preferred to be a warrior to be a king, and his love for martial arts was far greater than anything else, he held his sword in both hands and blocked a position.

Boom!

Varian maintained the position he had just parried, and was pushed away by the girl's impact, and the excitement on his face increased, and he began to shoot with all his might.

The two of them exchanged blows again and again, and the violent impact sounded again and again, and the force brought up made the weapon racks around the field tremble.

Although she used the Holy Light to amplify, Claudia showed her defeat soon after, not because of the difference in strength and speed, but because the king was far more experienced than her, and could always block the girl's attacks in the most effortless way, and the subsequent counterattacks could accurately attack the weakest point of the girl's defense.

"Your Majesty is really strong in swordsmanship." After strenuous exercise, the girl's face was flushed, and she gasped and admitted defeat.

Varian picked up a towel and wiped his sweat, then looked at the height of the sun and said:

"For your age, your swordsmanship is already very good, so if you are on duty in the morning, you can also come and practice martial arts with me."

"I'm going to have breakfast with Anduin in a while, you go back first, and then go back and rest after handing over to the other adjutants."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Claudia then retired, leaving with the silver hand in her arms, intending to get a good shower and catch up on sleep when she returned home.

On the way back from the girl, the voice of the silver hand suddenly sounded: "That person just now, it's a pity." ”

"Why?" The girl wondered.

"He's gifted, and he's a natural warrior, but his status doesn't make it impossible for him to get into that realm."

"Which realm? Your Majesty is already a hero-level powerhouse, is he a demigod? ”

Faced with the girl's question, the Silver Hand continued to explain:

"No, I'm not talking about a pure realm of power, but something more pure, the realm of the heart or soul."

"For a warrior, this realm is only possible to enter between life and death, leaving everything behind, and sincerely believing in his martial arts."

"And that king, there are too few opportunities to face life and death, and there are too many worries that he can't let go of in his heart, so he is obviously only a layer of paper away from that realm, but he can never break it."

Claudia was a little unimpressed by the Silver Hand's words, and replied in her mind: "He is a king, besides, how many people in this world can really let go of everything and only cling to martial arts?" ”

The Silver Hand said, "There are such people, and you have seen them." ”

"Huh?" The girl wondered.

"That black knight, the last time you fought him, he had already stepped into that realm with half a foot, and although he was not stable at the time, he must have fully entered now."

"Jaime...... No wonder, I don't know what happened to him lately. ”
