Chapter 15: The Soldiers' Union
A straight main road runs through the east and west ends of the village of Gurudin, and a tall obelisk is slowly unfolded as you walk through the smooth and smooth stone paved path, past two imposing triumphal arches, turn right at the intersection and climb the wide granite steps.
It was the warriors' union in the village of Gurudin.
When you get closer, you can see that the huge obelisk is carved from a single piece of rock, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent on it, and the gradually narrowing stele stands on the pedestal also made of huge stones, like a long sword piercing the sky.
Behind the obelisk is a large complex of three floors, with heavy stone walls, towering towers, gray-blue roofs, which look stable and atmospheric, and huge metal nameplates hanging from the tall lintels, which gleam in the sun.
The nameplate is carved with a sword and wings, which is the symbol of the warrior union, and can be seen in every village and town on the continent.
It's a place for adventurers to learn skills and get certified for careers.
Walking into the union, the spacious hall was very quiet, only a little girl sat behind a wooden table and read a book, and she was a little fascinated by it, and no one walked in.
Mu Kai coughed lightly, and the little girl stood up like a frightened rabbit, and put the hand holding the book behind her back in a panic.
"Hello, I'm Edith, the receptionist of the Warriors' Guild, can I help you?"
The little girl finished her words with a red face, raised her head, and found that standing in front of her was a young man who was younger than her, and the young man looked at her with a smile, and his pink cheeks suddenly showed a look of shame, and glared at the young man fiercely.
The little girl has a pair of big watery eyes, a neat curtain of bangs hanging down, and the look of staring at people looks very cute, Mu Kai smiled slightly and said, "I want to learn warrior skills." ”
"Fill out this form first!"
The little girl tucked the book under the table, and pouted and took out a form from the drawer and placed it on the table.
The soldiers' union has existed for nearly a thousand years, and it has long developed a complete set of operating mechanisms, and everything has rules to follow.
"Do you like to read adventurers' storybooks?"
When filling out the form, Mu Kai asked casually, just now he accidentally glanced at the book in the little girl's hand, the cover was printed with the words "Shadow Ranger Enmity", the production was rough, and the printing was blurry, it looked very much like the stories written by third-rate bards.
"Ahh Did you see that? The little girl exclaimed, and glared at Mu Kai again.
After a while, she sighed again, "Ah! There are so many places to see and play outside, but I stay here every day, bored to death! I would most like to go to the water city of Haiyins, where there are countless stone arch bridges and the city is full of beautiful boats! It would be nice to be an adventurer, and you could go wherever you want! ”
"Haines is known as the jewel of Aden and should be a beautiful place. However, is it really good for girls to be adventurers? It's very dangerous, often sleeping in the open, and it's not good for the skin! ”
"Huh? I hadn't thought about it before! ”
The little girl gently held her face with her hand, looked distressed, and said to herself, "I don't want my skin to be rough!" ”
The little girl named Edith had a very cheerful personality, and Mu Kai chatted with her for a few words, and after that, she began to chatter non-stop, but Mu Kai quickly figured out the relevant situation of the union.
Unlike the Sedri Warrior Training Institute, the Warrior Guild is not responsible for initiation teaching, and the people who come here to learn are basically certified professionals, and there are very few novices like him.
Considering the high mobility of adventurers, the teaching forms of the union are also diverse, not only the time arrangement is very flexible, but the adventurers can even train individually for a certain skill.
Of course, there is a price for a special form of teaching.
For his part, Mukai believes that time is more important than gold, at least for now.
If the port of Guruuddin had not been closed, he would have preferred to go to Talking Island by boat, and for novices, the teaching at the Sedri Warrior Training Institute would have been more comprehensive and systematic, but alas, there was no choice now.
Edith was very quick with her hands and feet, and after collecting the tuition, she completed the relevant procedures in a few minutes and brought Mu Kai into the training ground, where several adventurers and mercenaries were practicing under the guidance of the teacher.
"This is Master Ainu, this is Master Senma, and they will be in charge of your training."
Edith introduced the two teachers in the training ground to Mukai and handed a form to Ainu.
"That's it! Happy training! ”
The little girl winked mischievously at Mu Kai, and then ran out of the training ground like a smoke.
Ainu was a middle-aged man with a serious expression, he glanced at the information on the form, looked at Mu Kai and said, "Swords, daggers, bows, and only rookies like you will choose all of them, I suggest that you choose one of them to cultivate!" ”
Several adventurers who were practicing next to them heard this and laughed together.
People's energy is limited, greedy and chewy, it is better to practice a skill well, only novices who do not measure their own strength will make this kind of mistake.
"Focus!"
Another teacher, Xianma, shouted, "You, the angle of the sword is wrong!" ”
Several adventurers who watched the hilarity immediately and honestly shut their mouths.
Senma is a female warrior with short hair cut and looks very capable, and since Edith calls her and Ainu masters, it shows that they are already the second time that they have changed careers, and in a world where the strong are respected, they can naturally pack up those unruly adventurers.
"Why did you choose that?" Senma asked Mukai calmly, her tone much softer than Ainu's.
"I chose the long sword as a weapon, daggers and bows and arrows are not the direction of my major, just to learn about the combat skills of other professions, and I can better deal with such opponents in the future, in addition, I think there should be a lot of similarities in combat skills, and it may be helpful for swordsmanship."
After hearing this, Ainu shrugged his shoulders and said coldly, "Since you are willing to spend gold coins, it doesn't matter. Now, draw your sword and attack me with all your might, and see how good you are. ”
Mu Kai knew that it was impossible to hurt Ainu with his ability, so he drew his long sword, concentrated, and stimulated all the weak fighting qi in his body, and stabbed at Ainu with all his strength.
Ainu held a training wooden sword in his hand, but he didn't make a move, and after flashing Mu Kai's more than a dozen attacks in a row, the wooden sword was lightly pointed, and the tip of the sword was just on the spine of Mu Kai's long sword.
"The reaction is quite sharp, the sense of battle is acceptable, as for other aspects, it's a mess! You should go to the Sedri Warrior Training Institute, not come here! ”
Ainu collected his sword and stood there with an indifferent expression.
Mu Kai had nothing to say and could only keep his head down.
Xianma showed a hint of surprise, with her understanding of Ainu, these comments were actually very high, swordsmanship and strength can be improved through cultivation, and keen touch and combat awareness are very rare talents.
She took the form from Ainu's hand and glanced at it, then her gaze fell on the young man, who was only fifteen years old and had only practiced military swordsmanship for a short period of time, and it was rare to be able to perform just now.
"It seems to be another good seedling." Xianma thought to herself.
"Pick up your sword, let's start with the basics of swordsmanship." Ainu's wrist flipped nimbly, and the wooden sword in his hand slashed a phantom flower in the air.
"At the very least, the mastery of the long sword must reach the level of mastery!"
