Chapter 68: Natalie
Shak, outside the Land of the Six Towers, Ranger Camp.
Under the Pegasus banner on a blue background, groups of rangers are conducting their daily training in an orderly manner, especially those probationary rangers, who are sweating like rain in this slightly chilly early autumn.
"Hey, that's good!"
Kai didn't look like a woman or a knight at all, like a street gangster, squatting on the fence and judging the trainee rangers, and under Kai's wanton gaze, the trainee rangers who were practicing couldn't help but feel a burst of oppression, as if they were being targeted by a large feline.
Naturally, in such a state of mind, it is difficult not to make mistakes.
A female trainee ranger's straight stab, unconsciously crooked a little, brushed the wooden target, and the wooden long sword stained with white ash left a piercing white on the edge of the target.
"Natalie, practice a hundred times!"
"Yes, yes, instructor!"
Lancelot frowned slightly, let out a low snort, and immediately met the timid reply of the female trainee Ranger - stern, rigid, even to the point of harshness, coupled with the lack of a smile, Lancelot had already left a rather terrible impression on the female trainee ranger in this issue.
Demon Instructor!
This is what the trainee rangers in private call Lancelot, especially after seeing Lancelot teach all the Rangers in the Ranger camp next door a hard lesson, and this title is even more deserved-the cause of the incident is no longer clear, only that it is because a few Rangers next door are chewing on the root of their tongues. And then. The demon instructor went after him. He didn't choose to find these rangers, but simply connected the entire camp of the other party.
The consequence of this, although the demon instructor was punished, was more of the few guys who chewed the root of their tongues - the implicated rangers, who would teach them a lesson every once in a while afterwards; Actually, I heard yesterday that these guys are applying to be transferred out of that camp.
However, none of the camps were willing to accept it.
And. The reasons for their refusal were all so similar—'No upright heart!' ’
Thinking of the miserable appearance of those guys, and looking at Lancelot who was glancing, Natalie couldn't help but feel chills all over her body - she knew that this instructor of hers was deliberate, just to completely cut off the way out of those guys; And, is any way out!
'In my belief that the enemy must be destroyed!' I hope you follow through on it too! ’
Thinking of the first time they met, the instructor stood in the sun, his long golden hair was shining, and the words he shouted out, Natalie's heart was a burst of powerlessness.
She found. Her choice was wrong in the slightest!
Now with this boring life, it is better to choose to be a demon hunter directly......
When I think of leaving home. The slightly weird eyes of her parents and four older brothers, she thought it was envy at first, but now that she thinks about it, she is simply a big fool and a big idiot, how can it be envy, it is completely complete pity - obviously, her parents and brothers have some understanding of the situation here, but they don't tell themselves hatefully.
Undoubtedly, they are waiting for themselves to run back crying, and then, start the so-called witcher training!
Damn, you are so naïve!
How could I go and stay in those burrows, I hate rats and earthworms!
Natalie roared loudly in her heart, and at the same time, the wooden sword in her hand swung harder and harder, making the wooden target 'click', making Lancelot, who was standing on the side, nod secretly - in fact, this little girl named Natalie was one of the few talents in her opinion among the trainee rangers who were worth cultivating.
Of course, it still needs to be sharpened now.
Just like those jades, how can they shine with a moving brilliance if they are not polished?
Thinking of this, Lancelot couldn't help frowning again and shouted: "Natalie, the action is standardized, add a hundred more direct stabs!" ”
"Huh, hey......"
Natalie, who was treating that target as her hateful parents and brothers, couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Lancelot's words, and she couldn't react.
"A hundred more times!"
Lancelot said coldly.
"Yes, yes!"
Facing Lancelot's cold gaze, Natalie subconsciously shuddered and instinctively succumbed; The trainee rangers around them couldn't help but look at Natalie, a popular companion, with pity, but none of them dared to open their mouths to say anything, unless they wanted to be punished with them.
It's a tried and tested fact - on the first day of training, someone pleaded with Lancelot, and then, including the one who pleaded, the two were punished together...... The kind of double one.
So, at this moment, although all the trainee rangers were sympathizing with Natalie, none of them spoke, only giving Natalie a hint of encouragement with their eyes; However, when Lancelot's icy eyes swept over, the trainee rangers immediately began to stab in a proper manner.
Direct stab training is the most basic part of the ranger swordsmanship, and the advanced training is born from the stabbing of knight swordsmanship, a ranger who has really mastered the stabbing can rely on such skills to stab a guy wearing light armor, stabbing a cold heart, if there is the help of a war horse, even if it is heavy armor, it is not a problem at all.
However, that was the training after that, and for the trainee rangers, all they needed to learn was to stab straight!
"Drink!"
The 100-person female trainee rangers walked in unison, their arms were raised, and their whole bodies moved with their steps, and they stabbed out their long swords, and in that uniform shout, there was already a touch of the momentum that belonged to the rangers themselves, so that Kai, who was squatting on the fence, couldn't help but applaud.
"It's good, Lancelot, this Ranger contest. You're sure to win again! Kaihuan clasped his hands on his chest. In the form of a prophet. Evaluation; However, Lancelot, who stood in front of her, paid no attention to the most idle and troublesome figure in the entire Ranger camp.
Kai, not a bad person, that's the consensus of everyone in the Ranger camp, but it's troublesome, because this lady who just celebrated her twentieth birthday. It's so much of a chatter that any simple question can be entangled with you for a long time, and even for the sake of dinner pairing, I can study with you for an afternoon.
And, more importantly, she's idle.
In fact, Kai also has his own job, helping Gawain to coordinate the management of logistics materials, but he was excluded from the logistics department by Gawain the next day and thrown into Percival's medical camp. However, compared to Gawain. Percival was quicker, and on the afternoon of the same day, Kai was thrown out again; She was then referred to the blacksmith shop of Bowes and Garhoris, and after pouring a bottle of oil into the hole of the weapon, Kai once again exceeded the speed at which he had been expelled—an hour.
Later, under the thinking of the female cavalry commander, Kai became her personal civil officer, helping to sort out documents and pass on some news; However, it was clearly a very laid-back position, so much so that Kai could wander around the Ranger camp every day, chatting with his companions from time to time.
Of course, this was in Kai's own opinion, and in the eyes of the other eleven female rangers, Kai was a big problem, especially those who had suffered from Kai.
However, Kai didn't care, and even enjoyed it.
To put it simply, Kai is such a person who likes to play tricks - of course, Kai is a guy with some brains, and she will also put in a lot of effort when she chooses a target; At the very least, their sister, she doesn't dare to tease, because of the respect from the bottom of her heart, there is her bottom line; Then there was Lancelot and Graheide.
The former is because of his cold, direct character - Ling Kai understands that once he provokes the other party, he is absolutely inseparable from a fat beating.
And although the latter has a warm smile, Kai knows very well how black that guy's heart is, he is simply a human with purgatory blood.
If she had to choose between the two, she would rather choose Lancelot than Glarheid; After all, if you provoke Lancelot, it will be a fat beating at most, and you will have nothing to do after a day or two of rest, but if you provoke Graheid, you must be prepared to not get out of bed for a month.
So, when most of her sister's companions went to the Land of the Six Towers for an important meeting, and only Lancelot and Grahide were left to preside over the camp, Kai naturally chose to come to Lancelot.
As for why didn't you accompany the female cavalry captain to the land of the Six Towers?
How could she possibly go to such a boring meeting? Isn't it for the dead!
Still blowing the autumn wind like this, watching others sweat like rain, is life......
With such an exclamation, Kai said to Lancelot again, "Hey, if you say that, you won't be loved by them...... Don't you notice that they are afraid of you? Also, I recently heard about what they think of you, and a nickname ......"
Kai's voice wasn't muffled, it was the kind that was loud, almost the kind that was about to be roared.
Therefore, these words were clearly heard by the trainee rangers who were being trained—
Don't say it!
Don't tell!
A whole hundred trainee rangers in training all looked at Kai with pleading eyes, hoping to arouse the pity in the lady's heart and let them go.
However, it is a pity that Kai's heart seems to have the upper hand in the mischievous and mischievous aspects - of course, this is not to say that she has no mercy, but it is a little less in comparison, as if the comparison of watermelon and sesame seeds is about the same.
So, when Lancelot asked, "What evaluation and nickname?" ”
Kai replied in an almost impatient tone, "Cold-blooded, ruthless, the Icy Witch from the Winter Forest District, as well as demon instructors, abusers, and so on, there are many, many more...... By the way, there are remarks about your cycle being out of tune, and this situation will occur, which also has a considerable upper hand! ”
The last sentence, we didn't say, you added it!
The Trainee Rangers roared in unison—and in fact. The same is true.
Now that it's been decided, it's time to play a good trick on these trainee rangers. And bear the wrath of Lancelot for this. If I don't play happily, wouldn't I be at a loss?
Kai, who had such thoughts, continued to add fuel and vinegar: "There are rumors among them that you are definitely abandoned by others, so psychological problems began to appear, and then, it began to be constantly distorted and perverted, and then became the ...... you are like now."
The hundred trainee rangers were already in tears at this moment. They could clearly feel that the anger of their demon instructor was rising, and the cold face like ice and snow in the winter forest area made them understand how miserable their fate would be.
Sure enough, the next moment, Lancelot spoke, and like a cold wind in the far north, it swept across the audience—
"Full stab training doubled...... Then, start the indiscriminate battle – the loser's lunch and dinner are all omitted today! Remember...... There is only one winner. It is the one who is still standing at the back, and the ones who fall are the losers; As a loser, remember your failures...... So. Double your afternoon training! ”
After doubling down on the morning training, there is also the start of indiscriminate actual combat competitions?
And there is only one winner? Loser training in the afternoon continues to double?
Although I guessed that I and the others would not have any good results, but is this result too tragic? Especially Natalie, the witcher who joined the Rangers because of food problems, groaned and said, "Don't, instructor, don't let me eat!" ”
In the cold wind of Lancelot, the trainee rangers were all silent, and no one dared to speak; Therefore, Natalie's voice became unusually loud.
Obviously, Natalie also found out what she had done, and immediately begged for mercy and said, "Instructor, I didn't mean to!" I can train double, but don't let me eat! ”
"Oh? Is it? ”
Lancelot's eyes narrowed, and a sense of danger rose from Natalie's heart.
"Natalie, today's lunch and dinner, yours has been cancelled...... If, after a while of indiscriminate actual combat, you can't win, tomorrow's three meals a day will also be canceled! Moreover, after a moment of indiscriminate actual combat, anyone who defeats Natalie will get lunch, and if they defeat twice, dinner will also appear at the table! ”
As soon as these words fell, Natalie almost felt that her life had become gray, feeling the hungry wolf-like eyes coming from her surroundings, and she felt that she was standing on the cliff, blown by the mountains—although the food in the Ranger camp was not very tasty, it was essential for the trained trainee Ranger; No one can go hungry for such a huge amount of training.
If you do do it, just wait for a serious illness.
Obviously, none of the people present wanted to suffer from the disease.
'I'm sorry, Natalie! ’
'Sacrifice one of you, and make us perfect!' ’
We will remember your kindness! ’
……
The trainee rangers in training looked at Natalie and conveyed their thoughts with their eyes.
At this time, Natalie was still in a gray stiffness, as if she had burned out, and she didn't see the eyes cast by these companions at all.
"Wow, wow, do you have a lot of faith in this little girl named Natalie?"
Kai, who knew his friend well, couldn't help but look at the trainee Ranger named Natalie with curiosity again - although she had been in large numbers for a long time before, it was far from being official this time.
The body is very good, with a considerable training base, it seems to come from the family of witchers, and it is not surprising to have such a situation, but other than that, it seems to be ......
Kay looked at Natalie as she pondered; She didn't notice Lancelot's approach at all, and didn't react until her hands and waist were locked by Lancelot's arms - in fact, even if she was aware of Lancelot's approach, she didn't want to dodge Lancelot's attack.
"Hey, hey, Lancelot, what are you going to do! What are you doing with a rope, you guy! ”
Ignoring Kai's yelling, Lancelot tied Kai's arms behind his back, and, of course, his legs—ropes the thickness of an adult's thumb, specially made with steel wire and wolf fur, so tough that even Kai would have a hard time breaking free.
What's more, under Lancelot's suppression, she has no ability to break free at all.
When her hands and legs, which had been cut backwards, and her face washed down, she was hanging from the stake where the wooden figure had been hanging, and Kay's heart flashed a hint of misfortune, and she shouted loudly, "Lancelot, let me go, it's not fun at all—it's shameful!" ”
"Natalie!"
Lancelot ignored Kai's shouts and shouted at Natalie, who was still in a trance.
"See this hanging guy? If you can hit her once, I'll give you lunch, and if you do it twice, dinner will come too...... Three times, tomorrow your punishment will be spared! ”
"Really?!"
As soon as Lancelot's words fell, Natalie turned her head and looked at her instructor in disbelief.
"Of course! I never lie! ”
With a hint of pride, Lancelot replied.
And this answer made Natalie rush straight to the hanging Kai, her eyes burning with fierce battle intent.
"Hey, hey, she's lying to you...... She's lying to you...... Are you coming really? Don't slap your face......"
Kay's high-pitched voice spread throughout the camp, and Graheid, who was flipping through a book in the tent, couldn't help but put down the book, stretched out, showed his beautiful curves in the sun, and then, with a warm smile, said slowly: "What a comfortable morning! ”
