Chapter 105: Mentor
Although it is a little different from a complete entertainment player, Yu Yi also yearns for entertainment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info The life in the barracks is really monotonous and boring, which makes him a little unbearable, and he can still endure it when facing the beast tide before, but now that everything seems to be calm, his heart is a little restless.
It just so happens that there is now a perfect reason that Ramobis can't refuse, and let him escape from the "cage" - the city bounty mission. This mission was issued by the inner city, and it has the nature of building a wildfire city, so even the generals in the army have the power and even the obligation to go there.
However, no matter how you look at it, this looks like an excuse to "escape", Yu Yi was a little worried at first, and the uncle who talked about "training" all day long would veto it. Unexpectedly, the other party was actually refreshing, and it can even be said that he happily accepted his request.
After getting permission, Yu Yi began to prepare for this mission. In this mission, the origin of the Light and Shadow Stone is far away from Wildfire City, so there are naturally a lot of things to prepare. Potions, food, and some items necessary for the expedition...... But it's all left to Sylon to solve, and all Yu Yi needs to do is to see Griffitz again.
Although he already knew what happened on the training ground two days ago, it was just a means to stimulate the limit, but now when he faces this "old drama bone" again, he still has lingering palpitations.
Griffitz walked up to the student, nodded as usual, and asked, "The wound is healed?" ”
"Alright, alright." Yu Yi's performance this time was much more honest, as if he was afraid that the uncle in front of him would go crazy again.
"Alright, take the sword and shield."
"Uncle, what do you want to do......" he asked vigilantly.
The student's frightened appearance did not arouse the pity of the old tutor. Instead, he stepped up to the student, raised his hand, and tapped the other party's head with two fingers, and said unhappily, "Child, don't forget your oath to the god of war." The road of the warrior, there is no advance or retreat! Has my sword pierced your guts? ”
"No, no ......" Yu Yi smiled, didn't dare to slack off anymore, took a pair of swords and shields and followed.
The old man took two steps in front of his head before he slowly spoke: "This time, I am just going to teach you how to use your shield well." ”
After getting such a promise from his mentor, Yu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and ran forward to pat his ass diligently: "Hehe, uncle, it wasn't that I was cowardly just now, it was that your performance in the last battle was too strong, which made me a little dumbfounded." ”
The old man did not refuse the compliment of the student, he swept the other party with the corner of his eye, and said: "I have been on the road of a warrior for 70 years. If you can't deal with a little hairy child like you, I'm afraid that after death, the god of war will be hung on the corona platform and punished by exposure. ”
"Yes, you're right." Yu Yi next to him naturally continued to nod and agreed.
"However, I think in 10 years at most, you will surpass me."
"Yes, yes, you always talk ......" The student who didn't keep his mouth shut for a while just wanted to continue, but immediately stopped his voice after hearing the tutor's words clearly, "Uncle, what did you just say?" ”
Griffitz shook his head, his face inexplicably much more relaxed than before. "Cruise, don't embarrass me, you kid." After a simple admonition, he walked on his own.
Only Yu Yi was left looking at the back of his mentor a little dumbfounded, he didn't know why the old guy would suddenly make such a high opinion of him. However, he did feel the strong expectation in the old man's words, and perhaps, a little bit of pride.
However, the name in the words is still a pseudonym. This made him feel a little guilty in his heart, although the old man behaved fiercely, he had indeed treated him well, but he had never even told his real name to this mentor.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think of such a question: Why should I be incognito?
The pursuer mentioned in the main story, he has not even seen a shadow at all now, except for the first time when he saw his bounty order in the mercenary guild, there is no news related to his main line. What's more, he is now the captain of the Flame Fang Army, and he has hundreds of people under his hands, is he still afraid of any mercenary pursuit?
He was still thinking about it, but Griffitz in front of him was already urging loudly:
"Boy, what are you doing slowly? Wasting the old man's time, are you here for money and murder? ”
"Coming, coming......"
Yu Yi trotted up at this time.
Came to the training ground, it was shortly after the lunch break. It is also one of the busiest times in the training ground, and after drinking tea or taking a nap, everyone's energy has recovered again, and it is naturally the best time to train.
This time, however, Griffitz didn't have to worry about finding a vacant space. When a waiter in charge of the training ground saw the two people who had just entered the training ground, he immediately greeted them.
"Lord Griffiths! Master Cruise! Good afternoon! The man smiled and bent down hard, as if trying to make himself look shorter than the somewhat clumsy old man in front of him, "Are you two here to train?" ”
"What else can I do here? Picnic? Yu Yi stood behind the mentor and asked unceremoniously.
"Yes, yes, my lord said yes. However, if you want to eat here, we can have you prepare it right away. The muscular man was so ashamed of his muscles that he didn't show the fierceness of his appearance at all, but was as eager as a family dog with a collar pulled.
Yu Yi naturally knew why, and it was obvious that the cleaner he had taught before had warned the others in the guild "out of kindness". Even though he was still wearing civilian clothes now, the words "Captain of the Flame Fang Army" seemed to have been imprinted on his face.
"Don't be wordy, find a satisfactory vacant space for my mentor."
"Okay, okay!" The waiter agreed without raising his head, turned around and ran to arrange the clearing.
Looking at the waiter's frightened appearance, Yu Yi couldn't help but smile secretly, it seems that "going up" is different. He still remembered that when he came here before, the waiter was oblivious, and the old guy had to look for it himself for a while to find a suitable open space. And now, the sparring partners who had a bad attitude before are afraid that they have secretly hidden.
"I didn't expect that the old decay will stain your light again, Captain." After the waiter left, the old man said in an unkind tone.
Hearing the dissatisfaction in the tutor's words, Yu Yi couldn't help but be a little shocked: "Uncle, I just want to ......"
Griffitz raised his hand with his back to him and interrupted: "Cruise, power is like brown sugar made from cuttlefish milk, it tastes good, but it won't be long before you find that your mouth is full of black and rotten teeth." Remember, no matter how high you can stand in the future, you must remain indifferent to power. People who are low-key in this world tend to live longer. ”
The old man's teachings made Yu Yi stunned for a moment, and his mind tumbled in an instant, and he suddenly remembered that the fourth uncle seemed to have often spoken to him in such a tone in the past. He replied convincingly, "I see, Mentor." ”
It was the first time he had called Griffitz that, and the old man didn't feel stopping.
And what Yu Yi thinks in his heart is even more complicated, in the face of these so-called characters in this world who are endowed with thoughts, personalities, and emotions, how can he just treat the other party as an NPC built from data in the game?
"Hey! Hey! Brat! What do you think? ”
It wasn't until Griffiths hit him with the wooden shield that Yu Yi woke up from his thoughts, and the two of them had already walked into the open space carefully selected by the waiter. And there are three tall sparring partners waiting next to them, and it is obvious that they are only working for the master and apprentice in this open space.
"Didn't think about anything." He shook his head and cheered up.
The old man looked at him suspiciously: "The battlefield is not a place for you to be in a daze. It seems that after that guru, his words of instruction came even more immediately.
"Today, what I'm going to teach you is, the use of the shield. You weren't familiar with shields before, so I never taught you these moves. Now—" As he spoke, he looked at the student's shield-wielding appearance and nodded, "It should be fine." ”
"Then let's get started, uncle!" Affirmed by his mentor again, Yu Yi was also eager to try.
"Okay," said Griffiths, placing the sword in his right hand on the ground, picking up the shield alone, "what do you think the shield should be used in battle?" Defend against enemy attacks? ”
The student laughed: "Uncle, didn't you teach me a lesson with your shield two days ago?" ”
"You're right, then let you learn the move I used before." The old man turned around, and a sparring partner beckoned, "There is still only one chance, you look carefully." ”
"Okay."
With the shield in hand, the old man walked to the opposite side of the sparring partner: "You attack at will." ”
The sparring partner was also holding a sword and shield, and he nodded and raised his hand to swing the wooden sword and slash it.
And before the sword fell, Griffiths had already leaned on his shield and slammed forward, not only destroying the opponent's attack, but also knocking the big man to the ground. Just like when I played against my own students before.
In such a short moment, a move was suddenly demonstrated. In the eyes of others, the whole process looks like an old man bumping forward.
However, in the eyes of the student Yu Yi, the details of the tutor's movements in this process were infinitely magnified, and several slow ghosts appeared in front of him, replaying every step of the mentor's collision with the shield.
Then, the professional imprint on the back of his hand heated. The prompt pops up:
'Comprehend Success, Master Skills: [Sacrifice Impact]'
"Cruise, it's your turn." Griffitz beckoned with a wagging shield.
After seeing the prompt, Yu Yi naturally came to the sparring partner with confidence. He also opened his mouth to let the other party attack, and then he couldn't wait to launch the [Sacrifice Impact] he had just learned. Leaning on the shield with his left hand, he did push the opponent back, but it did not directly block the enemy's attack like his mentor, and the wooden sword of the sparring partner did hit his right arm.
As soon as he stopped, he heard the mentor behind him shout, "Boy, think about it with your brain, which of the two of you hurts more?" ”
If the sparring partner's wooden sword was replaced with a real sword just now, there is no doubt that it would only be Yu Yi himself who would bleed, and the other party would only be injured by '-9' in the process of being knocked back.
"This trick is the trick of the wise man to turn the tide of the battle, and it is also a shortcut for the fool to dig his own grave. You've only learned the reckless dash, but you haven't seen the essence of it. The old man stopped coughing a few times, and then continued: "Don't forget the point I told you at the beginning, timing, any battle, timing is the most important!" One more time! ”
Yu Yi nodded, and after the sparring partner got up, he continued to let him attack him. This time, the sparring partner still swung his sword quickly. And he was no longer like just now, regardless of the other [Sacrifice Impact], he first blocked this quick blow.
And the sparring partner couldn't make a blow, and he backhanded a sword. The speed of this sword was obviously a lot slower, which Yu Yi naturally saw in his eyes.
[Sacrifice impact]!
‘-17’
This time, the impact not only dealt more damage, but also perfectly blocked the sparring partner's backhand sword, knocking it back a few steps. If this is a real battle, he can launch a strong attack within a few steps of the opponent's retreat.
"Okay, you get it."
Yu Yi looked at the mentor again this time, and what he got was a pertinent evaluation.
"By now, you should also understand that the shield also has a power to be reckoned with when attacking, right?" Griffitz said, "Now you look at this trick. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man threw his left hand at another sparring partner who had already taken a defensive stance. The shield in his hand was thrown out and smashed heavily on the opponent's shield. Even with the shield in his way, the man was still smashed to the ground.
After delivering the blow, Griffitz explained, "It's called Destruction Throw, and it's a bit exaggerated, but it's a very simple move. There aren't too many skills, just practice. But I'm telling you that the shield isn't as cumbersome as the world thinks, and it can even be as nimble as a dagger, depending on what its owner thinks of it. ”
'Comprehend Success, Master Skill: [Destruction Throw]'
"Understood, uncle." Yu Yi nodded. After the same demonstration, since he had just learned this skill, the throw range was shortened a lot, but fortunately he still hit the opponent in the end.
If this is the case, the power it will exert will largely depend on the shield used.
"In my understanding, the destruction throw destroys not only the enemy, but also the shield warrior's own defense. After that, before using this move, first look at and analyze the battle situation before using it. In a large-scale battle like the beast tide, this move is not suitable for use. The old man added.
With that, Griffitz waved his hand again and sent a few sparring partners.
"Uncle, is today's teaching over?"
When the training was over, the old man walked towards the exit with his back on his back. "yes, you can go back too."
Looking at the old man's back for a long time, Yu Yi finally stopped him:
"Mentor, wait."
