Chapter 16: Griffiths' Basic Training

In the mentor's room, the rudimentary facilities were like the attitude of everyone in the guild towards Griffiths, and the weapons and armor were scattered on the ground, and the thin layer of dust was carelessly stained on them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Old Griffitz took the parchment that Tai Yi had brought, sat on the old wooden chair, and slowly looked at the young man in front of him with his wrinkled eyes. "Kid, are you sure you want to be a warrior?"

Yu Yi listened to the anti-ear salutation, but still nodded, isn't the inauguration exactly what he is here for? Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the dark red stone sculpture on the old wooden table in front of the old man, which was too conspicuous on the empty table. It is carved into a lifelike arm standing on a table, and a severed finger sticks out of the palm of the hand, pointing straight forward.

"The road of the warrior, there is no advance or retreat! Once you follow in the footsteps of the god of war, even in the face of death, you must fight without fear until you shed blood. Are you sure you want to be a fighter? The old man asked solemnly as if he had finished reading at the ceremony.

With the mentality of following the customs, Yu Yi also nodded again, even if he didn't hear the content of the declaration from the other party's vague words.

"Okay, then let's get to know your first mentor in life. Decay, Griffitz Schud. The old man got up from his chair and said slowly.

"Hello uncle, my name is ......" Yu Yi was only halfway through his words before he was interrupted.

"You don't need to rush to report yourself, according to the tradition of the ancestors, wait until you recognize me as a teacher, and then tell me your name." Old Griffitz said, "Now, let me see what you're up to." As he spoke, he threw a dagger onto the old wooden table in front of him.

"What is this?" Yu Yi asked suspiciously.

The old man crossed his fingers and pointed to the eye-catching dark red stone sculpture on the table: "Cut your hand, drip the blood on it, and see if your god of war is willing to accept your determination." ”

Even though he was a little resistant to this inexplicable self-mutilation, Yu Yi probably guessed that this was some kind of ritual in his heart, and knew that this knife could not be avoided, so he picked up the dagger and slashed it at his hand. I didn't think that this dagger would be even blunt than it looked, and it took me a long time to draw blood on my finger. Just as he wanted to drip blood on the stone carving, he heard the old man ask in a stern tone:

"Is that all you resolve? Then I can refuse your perfunctory in place of the god of war. ”

"Okay, I know it's wrong, uncle." When the old man said this, Yu Yi also turned his heart sideways, simply held the blade of the dagger with his left hand, and pulled the dagger fiercely with his right hand. Suddenly, blood gushed from the wound in his palm. At this time, the blood dripped on the stone carving, and the old man was no longer in the way.

The blood-drenched stone carving arm was actually filled with light, but the originally dark red stone was now emitting a dazzling and scorching light.

Griffitz also spoke at this time: "It seems that the god of war has recognized you, and I haven't seen such a wonderful light for a long time." ”

In a few moments, all the light on the stone carving converged on the severed finger. "You don't mind getting something tattooed on the back of your hand, do you?" The old man asked suddenly.

Yu Yi, who looked at the stone carving in amazement, subconsciously shook his head, and before he could react, the old man had already grabbed his hand and pressed the back of his hand on the severed finger. The severed finger had a burning pain on the skin on the back of his hand, but before he could even exclaim, it was all over, and the stone sculpture had returned to its usual appearance.

It's just that he looked at the back of his left hand again, and there was a faint red pattern on it, the lines were simple and exquisite, extending outward from the red dot in the center, and there were some lines of unknown meaning, or words.

'Successful inauguration of soldiers. ’

When Yu Yi saw the dynamic prompt, Griffitz also said: "You are now a warrior, now, you can tell me about your usual weapons, or combat methods." I'll teach you some practical basic moves according to your habits, but that's your business if you don't learn them. ”

"The way I am used to fighting......" Speaking of this suddenly, Yu Yi was really a little at a loss where to start, "Does blocking count?" ”

"Of course!" The old man's tone was as if he was answering a nonsense, "This is part of the defense, but what about the offense?" How do you like to attack, or what weapons do you use to attack? Sword? Knife? Hatchet? Warhammer? ”

"I can only use a sword now." Yu Yi answered truthfully, he felt that he had integrated into the role of apprentice.

Griffitz nodded, and then spoke, "Show me the mark on your hand." ”

Yu Yi also stepped forward obediently and stretched out his hand. Seeing the other party's serious appearance, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Uncle, do you still understand this?" ”

"There shouldn't be anyone in the world who dares to say they can understand these words." The old man replied.

Yu Yi immediately withdrew his hand, "Then what are you still delaying here?" "He didn't have a good air.

The old man didn't care about his attitude, but slowly walked out of the table and said, "Then let's go, take the shield and sword for practice to the training ground, I think I should teach you something." ”

Needless to say, it was obvious that the ones on the ground that were randomly placed were the practice shields and swords in the old man's mouth.

Knowing in his heart that the next step was the time to learn skills, Yu Yi couldn't help but be a little excited. Picked up a short sword in his hand, and after getting used to the weight of the Crazy Lion of the End on his waist, he then held the wooden sword in his hand, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

When we arrived at the training ground, the midday sun was as warm as the atmosphere here, and the instructors and apprentices who were practicing could be seen in every corner. Yu Yi followed behind his mentor in search of an open space, and everywhere he passed, he could feel the malicious glances thrown at him all around.

"Here it is." The gray-haired old man in a grass-yellow cloth coat finally found a satisfactory place and greeted Yu Yidao.

"Here we are." Yu Yi walked towards the old man, but this old Griffitz has been normal since he entered the mentor room before, and there is nothing worth criticizing. He didn't understand why those people looked like they were waiting to see a joke, and in his thoughts, he had come to the old man.

"Come here, before we begin, there are some things I have to say to you first," Griffitz stood on the training ground, solemnly looking as if he was completely unaware of the unkind eyes around him, and taught his new apprentice by himself: "First of all, a little bit about some of the basic moves that I will teach you next, these moves have been set, and then I will tell you one by one, if you are not satisfied, or like other moves, you can propose changes to me." ”

Listening to Griffitz's words, Yu Yi couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know what moves they have......

"What did you say?" The old man asked sharply.

"It's nothing, uncle, you continue."

The old man continued: "There are countless basic moves for each profession, and it is impossible to master them all, so you can only pick the most suitable ones, and then learn them according to the situation." If you teach too much, you will definitely not be able to master it all at your current level, and learning too much will not actually benefit you. Do you think it's okay to arrange it this way? ”

"Okay, okay, uncle, you have the final say." Anyway, it sounded quite reasonable, so Yu Yi nodded and agreed.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Griffitz continued: "Since you are used to using swords, I will teach you the most basic sword fighting moves first. But you seem to be more defensive than offensive, and I'll teach you some shield techniques and moves in detail, okay? ”

"Okay, okay, listen to you, uncle!"

Griffitz pulled out his sword and shield, but at first glance his appearance was only a little funny, as if his somewhat clumsy body could no longer control them.

The old man made a gesture of battle and said to his new apprentice, "Ready, it's time to begin." I'll only do each action once, if you can't learn it, do it again next time! Remember to come early, I can only train one apprentice a day! Clear, right? ”

"Okay, okay, uncle, it's okay to say anything...... Yu Yishun replied before he realized that something was wrong, "Wait, wait a while!" Uncle, you... What did you just say?! ”

He finally began to understand why the people around him looked at him like that, and thankfully, many of them were sympathetic...... But, what's the use?
