"The light of dawn dispelled the night in the sky, and also illuminated my heart......" The melodious song came out of the girl's mouth and echoed among the trees, slightly sonorous and powerful, although the girl sang a little more tenderness belonging to the girl, but also made people be able to hear from the song that the girl has an extremely firm and brave heart!

Although Tolia is the granddaughter of the village chief, she still needs to go to an open field or orchard in the woods every day to help with the work, and in order to realize her ideals, Tolia has to spare part of her work every day to practice her swordsmanship.

Especially after accepting the "cheats" given to her by Sui Yu, the girl practiced swinging the sword with the sword posture recorded in the cheats whenever she had time, so the girl lived a very fulfilling life every day.

The cheats sent by Sui Yu are not profound, and there are only a few words in the whole book, even if Tolia can't understand the square words on the cheats at all, it will not affect her cultivation of the sword skills above, because each page of this cheats book draws a beautiful human figure in various poses (don't think about it crooked), and when the pages are quickly turned, the human figure in the book seems to come to life and demonstrates a few sword skills for Tolia over and over again.

Because it is easy to understand, Tolia learns very quickly, and in just one day, Tolia can perform his sword skills exactly according to the movements recorded in the book. But then, even though Tolia worked hard to cultivate every day, he always felt as if he was missing something, and these sword skills, which should be very powerful in theory, didn't seem to have much power.

In this regard, Tolia did not suspect that Sui Yu deceived her with fake sword skills, because one of the sword skills, Tolia, had seen Sui Yu use it with his own eyes (Sui Yu once saved Tolia but was attacked by an archer, and the sword technique used by the arrow that stumbled and galloped during the sprint was a move in the record, of course, because he couldn't read Chinese, Tolia didn't know that the name of that move was Sweep).

It's just that, although I have personally seen Sui Yu use a sweep to knock away the enemy's arrows, Tolia always feels that this move is very slow to perform and the attack power does not seem to be very strong, and even if Tolia tries to make the movements according to the movements recorded in the book to the swordsmanship, the sword skills she casts are still at that level, and it seems that she has reached a bottleneck in exercising this set of sword skills left by Sui Yu.

As time went on, Sui Yu, who said that he would be back soon, disappeared, especially when Tolia heard the grapevine that there was a shocking bloody case in Bryce Town, and the perpetrator was a young man with black hair and black eyes, Tolia was not without frustration that Sui Yu might not be able to come to her because of the murder.

But fortunately, Tolia is self-aware, and although she regrets that Sui Yu didn't come to her, she doesn't resent it or anything. Originally, she begged Sui Yu to want to apprentice, but if people didn't agree, they wouldn't agree, this was people's freedom.

So Tolya's life went back to the past, the only difference was that she had a clear sword skill to practice every day, and every day Tolia would go to the place where the sword in the stone was inserted and try to pull out the sword.

However, even though Tolia tried to exercise every day, the sword was stuck in the sitting, and even the strongest adults in the village could not pull it out.

At this time, some people in the village had already speculated that the sword might be a prank left by Sui Yu when he left, or he wanted to use this undrawn sword to inspire everyone to grow.

However, regardless of Sui Yu's intentions, the sword stuck in the stone became the biggest secret of Jim Village, and even the villagers of other villages who joined Jim Village because their village was destroyed by the slave hunters did not know this secret.

But it's hard to keep a secret, especially if there are more people who know it......

At this time, Toria, who was humming a song while walking along the mountain road towards Jim's Village, subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Bryce Town, hoping to see the figure she had dreamed of from the end of the path, even if she felt a little uneasy in her heart because she had not completed Sui Yu's request, but she still held on to the luck of hoping that she could learn from Sui Yu and get the power to protect everyone.

It was clear that at the end of the path, Tolia saw nothing.

However, when she turned around, she suddenly found a burly man wearing rope armor and holding a long knife standing not far behind her!

"Who are you?!" Tolia was startled, clenching his sword (the weapon of the slave hunters) and assuming a defensive stance.

Seeing Tolia so vigilant, the man who was blocking Tolya's path showed an ugly smile and replied in a rough voice, "It doesn't matter who I am! Little girl, please take me to the sword that no one can pick up! ”

"How do you know the secret of the Sword in the Stone?!" Tolia was shocked, and at the same time many thoughts arose in his heart, one of which was that this person was sent by Sui Yu to retrieve the sword he had placed here.

But the burly man's next words denied Tolia's speculation: "It turned out to be called the Sword in the Stone!" Is it a sword stuck in a stone? From this point of view, this sword may not be a good thing, it turns out that it is just because it is inserted in a stone and ordinary people can't pull it out! ”

Seeing the burly man's disappointed expression, Tolia's heart was relieved, as if because she accidentally said something, this guy who obviously paid attention to the sword in the stone had lost interest in the sword.

However, just as Tolia relaxed slightly and tried to sneak around the burly man and was about to run back to the village, he didn't expect the burly man to stretch out his thick arms to block Tolya's way and say to her, "Anyway, take me there first!" Since the leader who has already disobeyed the order of the leader is acting alone, then why should he get some benefits! Even if it's really an ordinary sword, I admit it! ”

Without saying a word, Tolia looked down and deftly slipped through the man's outstretched arm, and then ran away!

Although Tolia has also practiced swordsmanship for a short time, and even theoretically has had a real combat experience, Tolia instinctively feels that the gap between her strength and this mysterious man is huge, and if she fights with him, then I am afraid she will have absolutely no chance of winning.

"Want to run?" The burly man looked stout and didn't seem to be fast, but he seemed to have expected Toria's movements, and as soon as he raised his hand, he grabbed the collar of Toria's back coat.

However, Tolia was not easily caught, and the moment the man grabbed her collar, with the flash of the sword, the man had to let go of his hand, because Tolia actually attacked with a sword, and if he continued to hold on, I am afraid that his hand would be cut off by Tolya!

"Interesting! Judging by the posture you use the sword, it seems that you have a good foundation, and your physical fitness is also very good, you should have completed the Black Iron Blood stage and officially entered the level of the bronze body. However, if you don't enter the Silver Tier, you will be like a harmless child in front of me! ”

The man seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded from the void behind Tolia: "Boss, what nonsense are you talking to this village girl!" Wouldn't it be nice to just grab her and force her to tell her where the sword was inserted? ”

The space fluctuated, as if out of the void, and a man in leather armor and a masked black scarf appeared and blocked Toria's escape path from the other direction.

"Oops! It's a thief professional! Tolya's heart sank, although he knew from the passing bard that the thieves' profession focused on secrecy and was not strong, but from this thief, Tolia felt no less threatening than the burly man on the other side!

"But ......" the thief man seemed to look at Tolia after removing the stealth, and then chuckled and suggested to the burly man: "This little girl seems to be very tasty, do you want me to conquer her body and mind in the most gentle way, and then let her obediently lead us to the sword?!" ”

"Damn!" It was easy to guess what the so-called gentlest method in the mouth of the thief man was, Tolia scolded angrily in his heart and swung his sword at the thief man, but due to the huge difference in agility between the two sides, Tolya's attack was easily dodged by the thief man, and even in the battle, the hateful thief man also stretched out his hand from time to time and stroked Toria's pretty face lightly!

Tolia became more and more desperate as she fought, because she had completely recognized how huge the gap in strength between the two sides was, and at this moment, Tolia's eyes flashed, and a big hand had already grasped her arm, and then with a slight twist, Tolya's right hand was twisted behind her and could not move - the burly man made a move!

As the burly man said, Tolia was like a harmless child in front of them, powerless!

The burly man took the long sword from Tolya's hand and twisted Tolya's struggling left hand behind his back, and the thief man, who had just teased Tolia for a long time, took out the rope and skillfully tied Tolya.

"Alright! That's the end of the game! If you don't want to be too painful, just tell me where the sword is! ”

After the burly man finished speaking, the thief man added in a broken mind: "If you want me to see it, it's better to give it to me directly, and you can definitely ask the secret in an hour!" ”

"How long does it take an hour? I think five minutes is enough for you! The burly man despised the thief man and waved his hand to the thief man: "Go, go!" Stay around, you just want to be cool once, don't think I don't know! We don't have much time, otherwise our brothers won't be able to withstand the boss's investigation! ”

"Yes......"

After leveling the thief man, the burly man tied Tolia with a rope to a big tree, then took out a dagger and put it on Tolya's neck, and said viciously: "Little girl, be honest, just confess, otherwise I don't mind cutting you into skeletons piece by piece!" Perhaps, it's a good idea to start with your fingers, you say? ”

"Kill me! I'm not going to tell you this secret! "The Sword in the Stone is both a gift from Sui Yu to Jim Village and a test for her, how could Tolia give it to these guys who are not good people at first glance?! So at this time, Toria's eyes were full of resoluteness and stubbornness, and even a strong will to die, which moved the two mercenaries who were accustomed to life and death.

Gently patting the burly man on the shoulder, the thief man sighed lightly and said: "Forget it, boss, your level of threat is of no use to her at all, if she didn't know how to commit suicide in this situation, I'm afraid she would have died in front of you a long time ago!" Speaking of which, this little girl can be regarded as a genius, just with the strong will to die she issued just now, it is estimated that it will not be long before this little girl can stimulate the power of will to obtain the dignity of silver! ”

"Silver dignity?" The burly man chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Indeed, transcending the fear of death is indeed a shortcut to the dignity of silver!" But I still have a way of forcing him to tell the secret! ”

"What's the solution?"

Hearing the thief man's question, the burly man replied, "It's easy! Go to that nearby village and grab some children or young people, and if she refuses to answer once, let's kill someone, and see how many of her friends are killed by us! ”

Toria's eyes widened and she yelled at the burly man with a sad and angry face: "Despicable! You devil! You are more hateful than the devil! ”

"Thanks for the compliment!" The burly man made a very awkward gentlemanly salute to Tolia and then waved his hand and said to the thief man, "Come with me, help me catch a few more young men, and soon this stubborn little girl will tell the secret she knows!" Unless she couldn't bear to see everyone in this village die in front of her! The village in the deep mountains and old forests, even if one disappears, no one will care! ”

The burly man spoke with a murderous aura, and Tolia had no doubt that these guys could do anything to destroy a village in order to gain a dispensable secret!

But Tolia gritted her teeth and didn't want to compromise, because she was afraid that even if she compromised now, in order to cover up the bad things they had done, the village would still not be able to save (these two guys would definitely kill people)!

These two professions gave Tolia a strong sense of crisis, even if the village had formed a militia and equipped with the weapons of those slave catchers (Sui Yu only picked up the explosive props through the system, and completely disdained those weapons and equipment), it would definitely not be able to stop the killing of these two professions!

Thinking of this, Tolia thinks that at this point she must find a way to save Jim's village from crisis! Of course, the first thing to start with is how to get out of the current predicament......

Fortunately, recently, many children wanted to learn swordsmanship from the swordsmen in her village, so in order to sharpen the wooden sword, Tolia carried a knife with her, and the knife was inserted in the belt of his trousers at the back of his waist, and it was convenient to get the knife with his hands tied behind his back.

Soon, the dagger was in hand, and Tolia quickly cut the rope that bound him with the dagger, and then planned to run towards the village in the hope of warning everyone.

At that time, she had just run two steps, and Tolia stopped, because she suddenly thought that if she ran down this road, the first thing she would encounter would be those two professionals, and there was also a thief who was good at stealth, and when the time came, she would not be able to directly crash into the arms of the stealthy thief man, and finally fall into the clutches of the devil again instead of giving a warning!

"Then, you can only gamble!"

After thinking clearly, Tolia left the path and entered the woods, heading in the direction of the sword in the stone.

In this moment of crisis, the only way Tolia could think of was to pull out the sword in the stone and rely on the power of this artifact to destroy these two terrible enemies!
