After listening to Xiao Mengran's words, Artoria thought back to the basic swordsmanship in her mind, and found that the truth was indeed as Xiao Mengran said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After summing up the experience of her defeat just now, after recovering her strength, Artoria once again raised the iron sword in her hand and rushed towards Xiao Mengran.

Having learned the previous lesson, Artoria first pretended that she was going to strike the sword diagonally to the right, but when she was in the air after the sword was released, she suddenly changed the direction of the iron sword, and it became a horizontal slash towards Xiao Mengran from left to right.

Xiao Mengran originally put the iron sword in his hand in front of him, but this sudden change of direction of the iron sword made him a little unexpected, but it was only a little unexpected.

Not to mention that Artoria's unskillfulness caused the strength and speed of the iron sword to change backwards have decreased a lot, even if it is not reduced, Xiao Mengran can react in time.

Calmly swung the iron sword in front of him against Artoria's attack, and the two iron swords intersected, making a "clang" sound.

Glancing at Artoria with relief, Xiao Mengran was no longer passively defending, and after taking a step back reflexively, Xiao Mengran withdrew the iron sword, and the unprepared Artoria failed to control her body because she used too much strength in the confrontation with each other, lost her balance and stumbled forward.

Without hesitation, the iron sword in Xiao Mengran's hand rested on Artoria's slender and white neck.

Naturally, this time Artoria lost again, but Artoria not only did not hang her head, but continued to attack Xiao Mengran with full vitality.

In this way, under the daily combat practice, Artoria's swordsmanship became higher and higher, and as the power that slept in her bloodline slowly awakened, her attributes became stronger and stronger.

After three years of continuous battles with Xiao Mengran, Artoria couldn't make a single move under Xiao Mengran at the beginning, and slowly improved little by little to be able to fight with Xiao Mengran back and forth, and her attributes are estimated by Xiao Mengran to have more than 50 points of strength and about 40 points of agility.

Of course, it is not only Artoria who has improved, Xiao Mengran himself has also continued to grow in three years of practice.

In addition to the constant energy from the void that strengthened Xiao Mengran's heroic body and increased a large number of his attributes, his greater progress was the improvement of his skills.

In the past three years, Artoria has changed from a petite little girl to a slim girl, because the magic from the blood continues to purify the girl's body, the calluses on her hands have disappeared, and her skin has become white and delicate.

It's just that Xiao Mengran is still the same as three years ago, and time has completely stagnated in his body.

The figures of the two flickered among the trees, and the fallen leaves on the ground flew up and down with the wind brought by the rapid movement of the two.

Those fragile iron swords could no longer withstand the power used by the two of them a year ago, so both of them used magical swords built with magical power.

The long sword in Xiao Mengran's hand as a whole exuded a blue magical glow, and silver magic runes flashed on the sword from time to time.

However, the magic sword in Artoria's hand burned with golden-red magic flames, and her delicate puppet-like face looked extremely sacred and inviolable under the illumination of golden-red light.

Blue and gold magic swords kept colliding in the woods, and from time to time, the aftermath of sword qi left a long trail on the ground.

In the end, the phantom-like figures of the two came to a standstill again, Xiao Mengran looked at the half-round sunset that was half below the horizon, and said gently: "Then let's stop here today, you go home quickly." ”

After Artoria leaned over and saluted Xiao Mengran meticulously, she said seriously: "Then Teacher Merlin, see you tomorrow." ”

Xiao Mengran said softly: "Then see you tomorrow, good night and good dreams." ”

Seeing Artoria's figure disappear at the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Mengran slowly walked into the tent.

In the past three years, Xiao Mengran has been constantly thinking about his past, although he has not learned nothing, but there has been no substantial progress, he has only figured out that he really does not belong to this world.

As his strength became stronger and stronger, Xiao Mengran could clearly feel the attention of the world's consciousness to him.

Yes, Xiao Mengran can feel that the world he is currently in has his own consciousness, and the only good news for now is that it seems that the world consciousness at least does not have any ill feelings and rejection towards him.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Mengran entered a meditative state, perceiving the flow of energy and the effect of the law, and at the same time concentrating most of his mind on perceiving the long river of time, leaving only a trace of his mind on Artoria just in case.

Meanwhile, Artoria returned to the small village where the Knight of Eckert was located after a few minutes of running with all her might.

It's just that the small village that used to be quiet and peaceful is now completely gone.

The smell of blood was in the air, the dancing flames of wooden houses and piles of wood were burning, and from time to time Artoria could hear the screams of women and bursts of rampant laughter and a lot of foul language.

Artoria felt a little uncomfortable, and a golden-red two-handed sword appeared in her hand, and she sped into the village littered with corpses.

Most of those familiar people turned into cold corpses and fell to the ground at this moment, whether they were old people, young people or children, all of them could not move at this moment.

Fighting back the anger in her heart, Artoria quietly walked in the direction of the voice.

After bypassing a wooden house, Artoria found herself in the square where the villagers usually gather for festivals or events.

A group of disheveled bandits, some of whom were now lying on the bodies of the numb and desperate women, were smiling and pointing at others.

At this time, the bandits standing guard also spotted Artoria's figure, and under his warning, all the bandits set their eyes on Artoria.

Seeing Artoria's delicate face, the bandit who looked like the leader with a bearded scar on the left side of his face from the tip of his eyebrows to his chin smiled lewdly for a few words, and said, "I didn't think that there are beauties like you among these monkeys and sows, come over and let the brothers be happy." ”

Hearing his words, the surrounding bandits also laughed "haha".

Ignoring the foul language in their mouths, looking at the aunts who passed out for an unknown amount of time, Artoria's face became colder and colder.
