Chapter 13: The Way of the Warrior
Lord Harvey is an upper-class elf who has been recruited by Empress Azhara to study the Well of Eternity. He was considered the Empress's most outstanding student as well as her chief advisor, and eventually became a powerful magician.
"What's the matter? My advisor. Azhara asked, turning to look at Harveys, with that alluring air to her body.
"Your Majesty, I have often felt some special fluctuations in the magic of the Well of Eternity in the past few days, I wonder if you have noticed it, Queen???????。" Harvey looked at Azhara respectfully.
"Oh, I've done another special magic experiment recently, no fuss." Aishara casually perfunctory, but still said something in her heart; "Looks like someone is still aware of that little guy's movements!"
"What experiment? I don't know if I can help. Harvey looked at Azhara eagerly. He would love to present himself in front of the Queen. "Oh, it's nothing, it's just a little experiment." Aishara continued to perfunctory.
"Oh, that's a shame. I heard that Your Majesty has accepted disciples, and I wonder if you can introduce them to me another day. Harveys sensed the Queen's perfunctory and consciously changed the subject.
"Of course, although Moon Shadow is very talented, he is still a child, and you can help me guide him when you have time." The queen smiled slightly, looked at the moon in the sky, and said slowly. Her golden crown shone in the moonlight. Harvey looked at the Queen's back, eagerness in his eyes. From birth, Ishshara was determined to be an earth-shattering character. The golden eyes were a good omen for the Cadore civilization, and the child soon grew into an adult, and her beauty matured day by day. No man wants her, and women want to be as perfect as she is.
"Is there anything else going on, consultant?" The way Azhara looked at the man and suddenly felt a little annoying, and although she didn't mind admiring his beauty, the burning gaze still didn't like it. This reminded her of the disciple he had just adopted, the child's eyes were very pure, as beautiful as the lake full of life in the Well of Eternity, and although he was occasionally surprised by his appearance, his eyes were always as pure as the stars in the sky, and there were no unnecessary thoughts.
"It's okay, don't bother with your precious time, I'll retire first." Harvey slowly exited the platform. Azhara stood alone on the platform and watched Essarine in the night, and couldn't help but feel a little lonely in her heart, there was no one in the world who could truly understand her. But she knew that this was something she had to endure, that it was predestined from the time she was born, and that there was no choice in some things.
The moon was setting in the west, and the sky in the east was gradually white. Moon Shadow came from his meditation as well, and he let out a heavy breath and walked to the balcony. Looking at the early morning, Aisaline stretched her body, and a crackling sound came from all over her body, since the last time she meditated by the Well of Eternity and entered that illusory space. He found that his strength and physical strength had increased several times, and in terms of strength alone, he was now at least comparable to that of a junior warrior. Moon Shadow slowly walked down the stairs to the courtyard and took out a sword from the purple magic package, which was just an ordinary two-handed iron sword Carl Li, the owner at the time? Deepshadow used to practice enchantments casually, Carlry? Deep Shadow's notes have been a great help to Moon Shadow, and he still keeps them carefully. Carlry? Although Deep Shadow is only an intermediate magician, his achievements in other areas are very high. For example, in terms of pharmacy and enchantment, he is a master of water, but unfortunately he died in the mouth of the tiger in the gray valley in order to find some experimental herbs.
Moon Shadow took a deep breath, clenched his sword and held his breath as he began to do the basic training moves that Illidan had taught him years earlier. He has been practicing this set of movements for nearly 4 years, and it is extremely smooth. There are not many movements, but they contain all the basic movements of the warrior, and after doing it ten times in a row, he exhales smoothly. If you had to change it to the previous one, he would be out of breath and sweating profusely after three complete drills. But now that I've done it ten times, I still feel refreshed, and I feel a sense of smoothness all over my body.
"Good!" There was a crisp applause behind him.
Moon Shadow spun around suddenly, and just now she was so focused that she didn't notice when someone appeared behind her. It was a middle-aged male elf, Moon Shadow remembered this elf, he was one of the guards Vaschi had arranged for him, a high-ranking magic swordsman. Name Rocky? Flame Blade, another one called Stone Toe? Yan Yan is also a high-level magic swordsman.
Rocky is very burly, with snow-white hair and violet skin. His silver eyes were shining and he was dressed in green armor. The muscles exposed from his arms are as explosive as a swimming python, and he carries a long sword behind his back, with a slender sword body and some runes flashing on it, and he knows that it is a good sword at a glance. Rocky looked at Moon Shadow and smiled faintly: "I didn't expect that the little master was also interested in the way of warriors." ”
"I've always been interested in fighting as a warrior, but I just didn't make much progress before I was too weak." Moon Shadow shook her head and said lightly.
"Actually, you're pretty good now, and I'm not even an apprentice at your age. I see that you already have the strength of a junior warrior in terms of warriors. Rocky pursed his lips and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I've only learned the most basic training moves for a warrior, and I'm not a beginner fighter." Moon Shadow retracted her sword into her package, looked at Rocky and shook her head.
"Beginner warriors don't really have many skills, I can teach you if you want to learn." Rocky said enthusiastically.
"Then I'm bothering you." Moon Shadow looked at Rocky and nodded.
"It's okay, take out your weapons!" As he spoke, Rocky drew his sword from behind him. Seeing Moon Shadow's confusion, he continued to explain, "The reason why a warrior is called a warrior is that he is a profession that exists specifically for fighting, and he is the ultimate fighting machine born for battle. And the skills of a warrior can only be learned in battle. ”
Moon Shadow's pupils shrank slightly, and she took out the iron sword from the package, pointing it at Rocky. Rocky smiled slightly, put the sword in front of his eyes, and said, "Attack it." Moon Shadow frowned, it was strange that Rocky was just standing and swords so casually. But Moon Shadow had a feeling that he didn't know where to start, and there was no flaw in the other party's body. There is no choice but to attack the Moon Shadow Dark Passage. Staring at the long sword in the opponent's hand, he rushed forward with a loud shout, and slashed at Rocky with all his strength with the strength of his running on his toes. Rocky smiled slightly, raised his hand slightly, and used his sword to gently block the full force of Moon Shadow. Moon Shadow frowned, and immediately stepped back, holding the sword with both hands, looking at Rocky, Rocky smiled, took a half step back with his left foot, and pointed the sword in his hand diagonally at Moon Shadow. Moon Shadow suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming.
Frowning slightly, Moon Shadow rushed towards Rocky again, and the long sword was raised towards Rocky, which was an action in basic training, called an upward pick. Lunaris was using the standard, but soon he couldn't move forward, as Rocky's sword was already around his neck, and he would be dead if he were on the battlefield. Moon Shadow let go of the sword in his hand and shook his head, the gap between the two was too big, and if he fought again, he would be looking for abuse, Moon Shadow took the sword back to the package, and Rocky also withdrew his own weapon.
"Did you feel like I was a little hard to attack just a while?" Rocky asked with a smile, and Moon Shadow nodded. "Did you feel like I was being aggressive again the second time?" Rocky continued.
"What do you want to say?" Moon Shadow frowned.
"This is called stance, it is a skill that a warrior must master, the first time I used a defensive stance you can make a better defense against the opponent's attack, and the second time is a combat stance sacrificing a certain amount of defense to ensure different attack styles and high-damage movements. There is also a posture that I don't use, a berserk posture. Sacrifice a lot of defense to allow you to add more lethal attacks. The little master should know that for a good warrior, flexible use of posture is a must. Rocky explained lightly.
"How do you learn this?" Moon Shadow asked, frowning.
"Fighting. Only through non-stop fighting can a true warrior be trained. Rocky said lightly.
"It's a pity that I don't seem to have the time and opportunity to fight in a short period of time, and I have to concentrate on learning magic with my mentor." Moon Shadow shook her head regretfully.
"It's not that there is no way, if it's just a competition, Shi Toe and I can be your sparring partners." Rocky looked at Moon Shadow Dao, in his opinion, Moon Shadow can reach the level of a junior warrior at a young age, and he is still very talented in the way of a warrior. So I want to help this little master, although most of the mages of the upper elves don't look down on warriors and magic swordsmen like them, who are neither.
"Thank you for that, but I'll go to the mentor for today." Moon Shadow said lightly. "Oh, if the Queen asks for it, it's a must." For all Night Elves, the Queen is a religion. As long as it is the will of the queen, they will not hesitate to support and carry it out.
Moon Shadow's room is very simply decorated, with a bookshelf placed on the left by the window, and a round table in the main hall, and several chairs around the round table, all made of thick oak, carved like a piece of art. On the right wall hangs a magic lamp, and next to it is the bedroom door. Facing the door is the balcony, and although the decoration is very simple, you can still feel an elegant and noble atmosphere.
The bedroom was simpler, with a large ivory bed, but Moon Shadow didn't sleep much, and he usually spent his nights meditating. On the wall hung a Beast Horn Bow and Quiver, which Tyrande had given them when they were separated, and although they had never been useful, Moon Shadow had been very careful to protect them.
