After the Wind Queen Jiuyao rose to level seven, Brando gave up his plans to go further in the short term. After the seventh-level wind, Jiuyao already needed as much as 250,000 experience, and even with the speed at which Brando extracted the experience of Mavikalt's book, it was a bit unable to keep up.
And after the seventh-level wind, Jiuyao can already produce eight illusions, and the attack power of the illusion has reached as much as 50%, and it is only one step away from the highest nine illusions.
Brando also found that the dwell time of the Nine Illusions of the Wind Queen was related to the level of swordsmanship, and only then did he learn that the dwell time of a single illusion was about 0.23 seconds when the Wind Queen was Jiuyao, but by the time it reached level seven, the dwell time of a single illusion had reached almost one second, and each level could be improved by almost a second.
And Jiu Yao's illusion will draw his magic power when using the skill as in the description, and the extraction method seems to be to convert the required body lƬ into magic power, the charge is 6 points, and the puncture is 20 points, and the magic power itself is much less than the body lƬ, not to mention that the nine illusions are pumped together, Brando has a strong mana, but the nine illusion charges can be used for nearly half of it at a time, and the piercing blow can completely drain almost all the mana in the mana pool.
And if it's an illusion using magic, MM, although the illusion doesn't stay long enough for them to use most spells, MMMM, but it just so happens that Brando has the skill of bark tenacity. He tested it with Bark Tenacity, and the mana that Illusion draws when using magic seems to be doubled, Brando's own Bark Tenacity is 50 mana in exchange for a point of armor, and Fantasy uses 100 points.
Moreover, Brando has also been real, and the illusion itself cannot use the Wind Queen Jiuyao to create illusions again, and he cannot take the initiative to exchange places with him.
After thoroughly figuring out how the Wind Queen Jiuyao operated and the restrictions on its use, Brando began to find someone to practice this sword technique. The most familiar thing around him is naturally the old swordsman Kuran, but this guy shouted to quit after fighting with Brando for two days, Brando's own strength has basically reached the level of the golden middle stream after returning from the Ring of the Trade Winds, plus the swordsmanship of Jiuyao after the wind is too weird, with Curlan's strength, he was also beaten as soon as he fought and lost his armor, and normal people are not willing to do this kind of one-sided and abusive thing, not to mention the dignity of Kuran as a gold-level swordsman.
So the next day the old man simply did not come.
There is no Curran, but the Gray Sword Saint Mephistopheles doesn't know where to hear that Brando is practicing swordsmanship and comes to the door, this Gray Sword Saint never beats around the bush when he negotiates with people, and as soon as he finds Brando, he wants to learn swordsmanship. Brando is still a little strange, in terms of the swordsmanship of the Gray Sword Saint, there is nothing to compete with him, the strength of the two is too different, and it is almost the same to say that it is a guide.
However, this belongs to the category of someone who sends a pillow if you want to sleep, and it is naturally impossible for Brando to refuse. But what he didn't expect was that Mephistopheles really lowered his strength and fought with him patiently, the latter, as a sword master, was naturally more knowledgeable than Curlan, and as soon as Brando made a move, his eyes changed and called mm Ancient Inheritance MMMM Mephistopheles came to meet Brando's moves, and then pointed out the loopholes in Brando's swordsmanship one by one.
Mephistopheles has nothing to say about Jiuyao after the wind, the ancient skills have exceeded his level, but he is a master in military swordsmanship, in fact, the military swordsmanship of various countries in this era is not much different, because after all, it is a basic skill, but there are some gaps in details that allow professionals to tell which country's swordsmanship this is at a glance.
Mephistopheles had been practicing Cruz's military swordsmanship since he was a child, and the Cruz people's swordsmanship was originally related to Eruin's swordsmanship, and after he mentioned it, Brando actually felt that his long-stagnant military swordsmanship level was showing signs of loosening. This made Brando both excited and curious, and the excitement was naturally that if the sixteenth-level military swordsmanship went further, the benefits would definitely be earth-shattering, but the curious thing was that it seemed that every Sword Saint had his own unique understanding of swordsmanship, Otales was like this, and the Gray Sword Saint was like this, and their experience seemed to be very beneficial to the swordsmanship improvement after the fifteenth level.
Brando couldn't help but think that if he searched all of Vagonde's sword saints and got the other party's experience, would his swordsmanship go directly to the Sanctuary?
Of course, this is nothing more than just a thought. Although there are not many people who can be named as Sword Saints, there are dozens of them, and there are many of them with eccentric tempers, and there are even more evil people, such as the Gray Sword Saint Mephistopheles compared to them, which is simply a normal person among normal people, and if you want to get all these people to be recognized, to be honest, this is an impossible task. There is still Veronica among the extreme sword saints that Brando knows, but I don't know if the female god of war of the Cruz people will add to him to the point that he is good enough to teach swordsmanship, although Veronica jokingly said that he wants to teach him swordsmanship, but the premise is that he becomes an Empire, which is also impossible. When, with a crisp sound, the sword of the earth in Brando's hand intersected with Mephistopheles's gray long cymbal, and a huge force almost made him fly out of his unsteady sword, he hurriedly retreated, and the three illusions behind him immediately intersected with him, and took a step forward to block Mephistopheles's route to continue attacking, and Brando was able to escape.
Mephistopheles watched the three illusions disappear in front of him, he didn't plan to go any further, put away his sword and looked at Brando, who was panting: "The state has just wandered?" ā
Brando nodded, gasped, and said, "Yes." ā
"That's all for today." The Grey Sword Saint replied cleanly.
Brando nodded again. However, he stood up and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Earl, although we haven't been together for a long time, it's been nearly half a month since the Ring of Trade Winds. I know your character very well, and with your character, you will never take the initiative to bow down or show favor to anyone, right? ā
The Gray Sword Saint didn't say a word, and it was a tacit acquiescence to Brando's statement.
"Then you should also know my temperament, I don't mind joking about trivial things, but since I promised Lady Veronica to help you return to the country, then I will definitely not regret or deliberately delay time." Brando paused: "I guess, you're actually here today to teach me swordsmanship, right?" ā
"When are you going to leave the forest?" Mephistopheles asked.
"The druids have prepared their equipment, and the elves and human mercenaries are ready to go, but the vehicles of so many people are a problem, and even with the abilities of the druids and tree elves, they can't find so many pegasus at one time." Brando frowned, Mephistopheles asked one of his most troubled questions, now that the army is available, but how to send these troops out as quickly as possible is a big problem, he will not forget that he is now in the depths of the Black Forest, at least a month's journey from the Eruin border: "But at the latest, I will have the army pulled, at least partially." ā
Mephistopheles nodded: "I heard about the trouble in your territory, how sure are you that you will win?" ā
So you were afraid that I would lose? Brando was a little surprised, he couldn't help but glance at Mephistopheles, and asked, "Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, Lord Count, although I don't know what agreement you have reached with the Duchess of Cruz." But you have chosen my ship, and you know that there are many enemies in Eruin, and perhaps it is not a wise choice for you to choose my side? ā
Mephistopheles' gray eyes stayed on Brando, and the wit of this young man reminded him of Veronica when he was young, no wonder that woman thought so highly of him. He smiled slightly, "Mr. Captain, you have many enemies, but mine has only one, what do you think?" ā
Brando was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, there has always been only one enemy of the invincible Grey Sword Saint, and that is the Cruz Empire. Mephistopheles is not even afraid of that behemoth, how can she be afraid of those local chickens and dogs in Eruin?
"And what do you mean, Mr. Earl?" Brando asked.
The Gray Sword Saint looked at him and asked seriously, "I came to ask you if you would like to accept my mantle and become the successor of my swordsmanship." ā
"What?"
Brando was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but want to touch his face to see if his appearance had changed since he came out of the Ring of Trade Winds, why did he suddenly seem to become so popular, and the flowers bloomed. But fortunately, with the ancient Heroic Spirit Knight Ottales in front of him, even if a sword master suddenly claimed to accept him as an apprentice, it would not make him speechless in surprise.
He quickly calmed down, and his mind reacted that Mephistopheles might have political intentions. To put it bluntly, it's still for the sake of recovering the country. He knew that the Gray Sword Saint was actually not keen on politics, and that he had returned to the country purely because of his personal beliefs, which was a rare person in this era who was noble in morality, but this did not mean that this earl was a fool. The Gray Sword Saint knew very well that the principality might be able to get his protection when he was there, but he couldn't always devote his energy to leading a country, and his lifelong pursuit, to put it bluntly, was swordsmanship.
Brando, on the other hand, can tell that he is a lord first and a swordsman second, not even a true swordsman, and he may not even be as good as Kuran in his passion for swordsmanship. This is true, if Brando had the experience of being a powerful wizard, he would not necessarily choose swordsmanship, he would have pursued the power that could help Eruin rise, not the way of supernatural skills. So Mephistopheles is the opposite, he points out that Brando is like Veronica, which is actually a metaphor for the event. Veronica is the same as Brando, she is a soldier first, a general and duke of the Empire, and then a Juggernaut second. Therefore, the gap between her swordsmanship and Mephistopheles is much larger, Mephistopheles has been famous as a sword master for a long time, and Veronica is in the female god of war, and her reputation in this title is far greater than her name of the green sword master.
Having figured this out, Brando completely calmed down. The Gray Sword Saint wants to accept him as an apprentice, which is naturally a good thing, not to mention Mephistopheles's swordsmanship, which is self-contained, at least it is also a skill above the intermediate level. It's also a good thing to pull such a big power as a backer.
But at this moment, Brando has actually accepted the inheritance of Otares, and Otales can not care about the affairs of the dark dragon, that is because they are contemporaries, and it is understandable to say that they are sympathetic. But it is difficult to say whether the knightess will be able to accept another fellow who may not seem so great to her to be her equal.
But to Brando's surprise, Otales is not the other way around.
"I build yƬ you accept." Otales felt a little satisfied after receiving Brando's questioning, because it showed that Brando did not just see her as a ringing spirit, but really regarded her as a teacher. Although as a heroic spirit who has experienced thousands of years, she actually doesn't care about this, but she is still very satisfied to find a young man who has inherited excellent character as an inheritor: "Mephistopheles's swordsmanship is very special, self-contained, and my vision is limited to a thousand years ago, and Odin only gave you the inheritance of bloodline, compared to it, what he knows may be more helpful to you." You don't have to worry too much about what I think, for my sister and me, you can get stronger, that's what I want to see. ā
"Thank you." Brando was a little touched, and Ottales cared about him as if he was really a sister's wings for his brother.
However, he did not immediately agree, but said to Mephistopheles, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Earl, but let me think about it for a day." ā
Mephistopheles showed an admiring gaze, he was very confident in his swordsmanship, and a normal person would immediately faint with joy when he heard that he was going to take in apprentices. But Brando's expression is calm, for swordsmanship, it is necessary to be calm at all times, and it is naturally the same as a lord.
"This is naturally no problem, but you should understand that I want to teach you swordsmanship not only because you are the future leader nor because I need to use you to restore the country, but I do think that you are good enough to inherit my swordsmanship, although I have not been with you for long, but I believe that Veronica sees people." After thinking about it, he added.
"You've known Veronica for a long time?" Brando couldn't help but blurt out, but after saying that, he regretted it a little, this is too gossipy, and the habits left by the player will really not be able to change for a while.
Unexpectedly, Mephistopheles didn't mind this question, he nodded: "The principality where I am located has actually been a subject of the empire in the early years. When I was younger, I completed my studies at the Empire, and Veronica was my classmate at that time. ā
"What?" Brando's gossip soul suddenly burned up, and he couldn't help but shout I. He only knew that Mephistopheles was the sworn enemy of the Cruz Empire, and he had fought against Veronica many times, but he didn't expect these two people to be some kind of childhood sweethearts.
However, he was about to continue asking, but Mephistopheles interrupted the topic first, saying, "Remember when I asked you when your army could be deployed? ā
"Huh?" Brando looked at the Juggernaut with an expression on his face as old-fashioned as if it had been carved out of wood.
"Actually, it's not a problem, the two ** divisions of the Silver Alliance who stayed in the Green Tower. Master Tulaman has a relationship with me, or he owes me a favor, and I can ask them to do me a favor. Mephistopheles replied.
"Temporary Teleportation Circle!" Brando jumped up at once, the magic circle of thousands of people sounds a little incredible, if it is Willian and Turaman to send hundreds of people at a time, it is definitely not a problem, and the rest can be sent away with Pegasus, so that the problem of vehicles will be solved!
He has been delayed here for so many days, and to put it bluntly, the biggest problem is how to send these people out of the Black Forest as quickly as possible. Although the druids have been raising Pegasus, how can the Green Tower, which has just experienced the wolf plague, raise so many Pegasus for a while?
However, Brando reacted immediately, and asked with some suspicion: "But Tulaman is a people of silver, and according to the Holy Oath, they cannot meddle in mortal disputes. ā
He wanted to see how Mephistopheles would answer, but what he didn't expect was that this old-fashioned Sword Master actually put his index finger to his lips and made a gesture to him that you don't say, I don't say, who will know.
Brando was dumbfounded, cheating!? This is definitely cheating, I (harmony) rely on (ps: 4500 words, this is the end of the preparations, and then Toniger's big battle is about to kick off. Although the power of Count Denel is huge, there is no doubt that Mardala is the real threat, and it will be interesting to see how Brando will face Instaron, emerge from this battle, and truly step onto the stage of history.
