Chapter 164: The Celebration Begins
Squatting on horses, stepping on plum blossom piles, chopping wood, catching birds in the dark room, swimming in the river in full gear, survival training in the wild...... In just one week, Roger tossed Alice and others every day with different tricks, and deliberately promised that the tricks would never be repeated every day, which made Alice and them want to die.
Even when night fell, Roger, who was still dressed as a "Merlin" magician, announced that this week's training was over, and when he had a day off tomorrow, Alice and the others were not ecstatic about the belated rest time, but exclaimed in unison: "It's only been a week?" How do I feel like I've been training for a month? ”
No matter how much Alice wanted to protest, the grimacing "Merlin" magician blocked all their words with a direct "ice storm", and then the terrible magician disappeared from the eyes of these people.
That's right, the "Merlin" magician disappeared completely, and for a whole day, none of the "little students" who wanted to take revenge could find any trace of this magician, as if this magician had disappeared out of thin air.
After looking at each other, these little friends who had endured all kinds of tosses for a whole week went back to their respective homes to find their mothers. And these people come home and do everything in unison: they fall asleep. After a whole week of tossing...... Ahem, after a week of training, everyone's spirit has reached the limit, so Roger seems to be "magnanimous" to let these "children" take a break.
And Alice and the others slept for a day and a night, and didn't wake up until the next night, so you can imagine how tired they were.
It was learned that they were awake. Those friends who were not able to participate in the special training of Hell due to the general manager came to the door in unison, and they all wanted to see their friends after such a whole week of weird special training. There is no change in anything.
That's right, it's quirky. Except for the hellish run on the first day. Since the next day, the training site where Roger has trained Alice and the others has been imposed under martial law with the approval of the Mercenary King. Of course, even so, the nobles still have a lot of ways to know the specific training program.
However, looking at these training programs, the nobles did not understand: what can be trained by chopping wood, and what is the purpose of jumping around on this group of stone pillars called "plum blossom piles"? Except for a few masters who are proficient in martial arts who can understand some, the vast majority of the nobles can't understand what the "Merlin" magician wants to do.
But with the first day of the torturous hellish run, the nobles kept their opinions to themselves, choosing instead to let their children test those who had been trained.
As a princess. And Alice, who is already destined to be the next King of Gelaru, of course, no one dares to provoke, but the others who have also received training have just woken up and ushered in a large number of onlookers from their friends.
After all, they all live in Wickeld, and most of these noble children know each other, even if there are unfamiliar ones, through other acquaintances, they can be more or less related. Therefore, even Soster of Simon's family was successfully pulled out of the house by acquaintances.
Specific experience for special training. It was a nightmare memory for everyone, so everyone, including South, chose to keep their mouths shut. However, in the face of inquiries from acquaintances, Sost finally spoke: "Actually. Because there were so many more types of training during this time, and we were all focusing on training at that time, we didn't have time to think about it. So I'm afraid most people can't tell what kind of training they have received, right? ”
Although he used questioning words, Sost's tone was very affirmative. And Sost is also clear about one thing: due to the difference in occupation and strength. Therefore, the order and type of training that most people receive are somewhat different. If the punishment is also considered training in a half-squat position on horseback, etc., then there are even more types.
At all costs. After all, everyone is most interested in the effect of training, although it is only a week, but you should be able to see some of the results of training. So under the guidance of some well-intentioned people, Sost finally got along with a familiar friend.
After all, everyone knows each other well, and those who play against Sost immediately feel the difference between Sost and usual: the reaction has become faster.
That's right, in the eyes of the people on the sidelines, although they still use the usual martial arts, Sost's movements are obviously much faster than before, and the speed of his moves and the connection of various fighting moves are also smoother than before.
The friend who could have been able to support Sost for half a day was defeated in less than ten round-trips, which really surprised everyone.
Even Sost himself is the same.
Looking at the long sword in his hand, Sost himself was a little stunned. Since he carried his own equipment at all times during the week, although the light armor was temporarily sent to the blacksmith shop for repair after being cleaned by himself due to the need for maintenance, when he went out, Sost still subconsciously brought his long sword and small shield with him.
Although there was no power to fight back in the strange tossing and turning of those "instructors", the competition with familiar friends still made Sost directly aware of his progress: not only did his reaction become faster, but also his eyesight, hearing and so on were also exercised. The most important thing is to be familiar with your body and the equipment on it.
As the saying goes: the ones who are most familiar with you are often your enemies. In fact, it is precisely because they are so familiar with their own bodies that many times people will ignore their specific circumstances. In this short period of one week, the improvement in aspects such as reaction, eyesight, and hearing is not very obvious, but the grasp of one's own state has obviously improved several levels.
To be more specific, Sost now knows exactly how far he can go: how hard it will take to parry this time, how fast he will dodge sideways, etc. Some of the people who have been trained may have memorized these things instinctively by their own bodies, but the nimble Sost has really grasped these situations accurately.
And it's because I know how far I can go. So when Sost fights with friends, whether it's parrying, parrying, or counterattacking. They can all be decided in an instant. Therefore, the reaction actually did not improve much, and Sost's movements were able to be nearly two percent faster than before!
Is that what we're trying to clean up our gear for? Sost, who had thought of the organization of his own equipment from his training, let go of his frowning brow. A smile was revealed.
He had already understood the purpose of this series of arduous training: it was not a "cultivation" that focused on improving one's own strength like the secret training method passed down in the family, but a "training" that enabled the trained person to more accurately grasp his own limits through various trainings, so as to give full play to his own strength more effectively!
However, Sost, who had the same all this, suddenly frowned again: this kind of "exercise" method can obviously effectively improve the strength of the family members, but at this moment, Sost, who is trying to summarize the various training methods practiced by the "Merlin" magician, is a little confused.
After all, the training that most people receive is somewhat different, and it is really difficult to see any special rules from it. Sost, who was thinking hard, didn't know that the reason why everyone's training was a little different was because Roger had made a training plan specifically for each person's shortcomings. And because everyone's occupation, strength, habits, etc. are different, Roger directly formulated more than fifty training plans alone.
And Sost, who identified the training method of the "Merlin" magician as "a set" and "secret" training method, of course, couldn't summarize a set of universal plans if he wanted to break his head.
"Sost! What happened to you? The friend who was easily defeated by Sost looked at Sost and frowned and thought hard, thinking that he had a new understanding. So Homeopathy temporarily acted as a guard by his side.
However, seeing that Sost's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and a lot of sweat began to gradually break out on his forehead, Sost's friend finally interrupted Sost's thoughts, who seemed to have begun to drill the horns of the bull, after hesitating for a moment.
"Whew......" Sost, whose train of thought was interrupted, exhaled heavily, and then patted his friend on the shoulder gratefully. As an important figure in the mercenary kingdom, Simon. Glen Bell's grandson, Southst, has seen all kinds of people since he was a child, and he can easily recognize the malice in everyone's heart, so a scheming person like a friend eventually becomes his only friend.
Even though the fool had been shot again, it was hard to blame Sost. After all, this guy is completely well-intentioned, like he just interrupted his train of thought, purely because he cares about him.
For such kindness, Soster was very happy to accept it. At the same time, they also want to give it enough in return.
"Karen, how about coming with me tomorrow for that training?" Sost smiled at his friend.
"Huh?" Clen blinked, clearly overwhelmed. "This and this, is this okay?"
"Rest assured. Although the Merlin magician is fierce, the instructors are still very talkative. Sost naturally squeezed his eyes at his friend. As long as your eyes don't always look at the bodies of a few female instructors, you'll be fine! ”
"Sost!" Clen's face turned red immediately, but he was pulled to the market by Sost's laughter, "Just kidding, but we're going to go to the market now to buy something to eat, I don't want to eat my own half-baked fish......"
"Sost, don't you know how to grill fish? I can teach you this! The unscheming Kren's attention was immediately diverted by the half-cooked grilled fish in Sost's mouth, and he immediately looked at his friend with some concern.
"Good, good! Let's go quickly, it shouldn't be so easy for the instructors to find out if we have some private food, right? ”
"Oh......"
There are not many cases where Sost's strength has been significantly improved, but it is enough to attract the attention of the nobles. However, under the blockade of the mercenary king, the nobles did not get much really useful information, and they also disdained news such as "stepping on plum blossom piles" and "chopping wood".
Therefore, after all the inquiries were fruitless, the number of people who tried to join the hell training immediately increased several times the next day. However, under the baptism of hell running, not many of these people can stay, and even fewer can really join the special training.
And as time passed, the nobles paid less attention to the hell training under the strict lockdown of the mercenary king, after all, the God of War Festival was approaching, and everyone was busy. But secretly, there are still many people who pay attention to training all the time.
Three days before the start of the God of War Festival, the hell training was finally officially over. However, all the trainees who have been trained are silent about the results of the training. Even after receiving training, no one was able to dig out who the strongest person was now, from the mouths of the cadets.
In fact, even the students themselves don't know who is the strongest now, but it is recognized that the strongest are the five who lasted to the end on the first day. But what the truth is, I'm afraid only the God of War sacrifice can be seen.
In the midst of this turbulent undercurrent, the grand God of War Festival finally began. (To be continued......)
