Two hundred and seven: The Eve
Perhaps he has already encountered all the evil things that may have been encountered along the way, and the next road to the royal capital is safe, and every day Marin will also contact Kahi and Zem Mayer of the Church of Mercy through the telegram in the car, the former is responsible for confirming Marin's location, so that the painting does not get close to Marin again, according to him, the content of this painting is some wolf-like spirits, apparently the Steppenwolf of the Western Province, and this is the thing that the apprentices of the Church of Mercy kill the most every year.
The latter, on the other hand, would talk to Marlin about the plot from time to time - Zem was a loyal reader of Sherlock Holmes, and his face was crooked when he confirmed that Marin was the author from Gatsi, because he felt that how a child as young as Marin could write such a work must be deceiving the world.
Marin then moved out of Faye, and his princess testified that she was Marin's central provincial customs introducer, and pointed out several clues that she had buried in her previous - this time all pointing directly to Marin as the author and her collaborator, and Zem immediately became Marin's loyal reader when he confirmed it.
After hearing from Marin that the detective collection had been completed and that the last two volumes would be handed over to the National Publishing House after he returned, the young man sighed and became curious about Marin's follow-up.
After discussing it with Faye, Marin decided to rot the book in his own hands - because the content of this book is a bit too obscure for mortals in this world, the plot is also on the horror side, and the style is science fiction, in order to avoid some accidents, it is better not to write it.
As for what kind of accident it was...... Marin felt that magic carpet explained it all well.
Other than that, Marin couldn't think of what to write for a while, and after discussing it with Faye, he decided to take a break from writing for a while.
Anyway, Marin has already become a god, as the pioneer of the detective world in this world, Marin feels that his dream has come true, and the next step is to eat and wait for the royalty moth link to die.
On top of that, Marin could only practice his swordsmanship while he was waiting - a certain great swordsman was waiting for him to take his head.
Tutor Amet Selke volunteered to come and practice with Marin after watching Marin's self-study.
At first, Ma Lin felt that this middle-aged man looked powerless, and he didn't look like a sword-player, but when Ma Lin used the technique to lower his power, he realized that this big sword did have a level.
Practicing with Mentor Emmet Selker, Marin felt that he was improving every day, and when asked if he had never used this thing, or even taught the children how to use the broadsword at Fort Carter, Tutor Emmet Selk gave an answer that sounded regretful.
"Times have changed, muskets are becoming the mainstream of the battlefield, and an apprentice who has received twenty hours of shooting training can very easily shoot a bear goblin with a great sword at a distance of more than a hundred yards, and these barbarians have since withdrawn from the arena of competition with us humans, Marin, think about it, it took me fifteen years, I have been using the sword since I was five years old, but in the end, this era tells me that the great sword is outdated."
When Tutor Emmett Selke said this, his expression was very lonely: "I still don't have a big sword to block bullets, how can I teach the skills of my three-legged cat to the children, they spend twenty hours learning to shoot, and they can suppress the children who have practiced the big sword for more than a year...... Marlin, why do you practice the great sword? ”
Marin didn't know what to say, because Mentor Emmett Selke didn't know, and Marin didn't know how he would understand it, let alone if he would say it.
There are some secrets that should have been kept tight-lipped in the first place.
And Mentor Emmet Selke also seemed to see the doubts in Marin's heart, he smiled: "It's okay, you don't say it, just when I didn't say hello, I like a genius like you very much, in the past three days, you have learned a lot of pace, and have accumulated a lot of experience, remember, the big sword is not a mace or an axe in your hand, it is a sword, and you are a swordsman, remember one thing - the swordsman is like Huang Feng, and the big sword is like a poisonous needle." ”
After another five days, Mentor Emmett Selke announced that Marin had basically mastered all the techniques.
"What you lack now is just to use it, considering that after arriving at the royal capital, you basically don't have the opportunity to use the skill of the big sword, I recommend you go to the fighting arena." Mentor Emmett Selke showed Marin a way.
Marin was a little curious: "Is it the kind of indiscriminate battle held by the underground dark guild, the kind that doesn't matter if you live or die?" ”
"What do you think, how can the underground dark guild exist in the royal capital, these dilapidated settlements that can only exist in the countryside." Mentor Amett Selke smiled and overturned Marin's conjecture: "The arena is jointly organized by the royal family, nobles and the military, usually there are competitions every month, and sometimes there are big nobles who come down to the field for exhibition matches, all of which are battles of cold weapons, and I have been fighting with you for so long, I am going to the royal capital this time, and I am also going to play, are you coming." ”
Marin is naturally fine, under the explanation of Mentor Emmet Selke, I heard that the fighting arena uses non-bladed training swords, and there are resident healers, of course Marin thinks it is feasible.
Hearing that those big nobles were all super strong warriors, and the thought that he could go all out, Marin felt that there was finally a place to try his strength.
Getting off the roof, Marin put the training sword on the shelf, then stretched the strings, took the towel that Cross had thrown over, then took off his training clothes and went into the bathroom at the back of the car.
After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, Marin stepped out and glanced at the carriage: "What about Faye." ”
"In the front compartment, we had a sorority party with their classmates, and she asked us to go too." When Cross said this, she seemed a little unhappy: "Marin, I feel ...... I feel like an outsider, did I fit in the past. ”
Marin smiled and stretched out his hand to take the rabbit girl's hand: "Of course it is, you are my family." ”
The bunny girl didn't react at first, and when she came back to her senses, the bunny girl immediately blushed and talked incoherently for a while, and finally was led by Marin to the front carriage - Bill, Jack and Rose had already started their apprenticeship, and they were incorporated into the first year by Tutor Emmet Selke, and of course they didn't have their turn to play during the game.
So Marlin took the bunny girl into the friendship carriage without any burden.
"Hi Marlin, you're here! I've watched all the exercises on the roof of the car with Mentor Emmet Selke recently. ”
As soon as he entered the door, Marin heard Logan's loud voice, and Marin smiled at this: "You don't have to press down, then again, you guy looks like the initiator, right." ”
"Of course, I'm the most well-traveled of the Harvest Goddess's apprentices, and then again, Marin, when we arrive in the royal capital, we still have a week to go, and someone has already contacted me and said that they are asking you for a favor."
"I don't think my reputation has the ability to spread that far." Marlin frowned.
"The other party said that it was introduced by Siddle van Renard." Logan said.
Hilder van Renard...... Who is this? Marin thought for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to know him.
Instead, Cross reached out and tugged at Marin's ear with her cute little paws, "My cousin, you forgot. ”
"Ahh I remember! Marin couldn't remember the name, but when he mentioned Cross's cousin, Marin thought of the abandoned factory and his own guests: "It was him." ”
"Yes, in addition to him, there is also Sheldon Bliss, the two of them have already arrived in the Central Province, and they blew out your record, so someone should want to test the waters, after all, people who have only heard of your name and have never seen you." Speaking of this, Logan smiled and raised his eyebrows: "2,000 yuan, enter the underground ancient city of the royal capital, do you want to see it." ”
"What floor?" Faye walked over, and when she spoke, Marin was very curious: "Is there a problem with the first floor?" ”
"Yes, the first layer is safe, usually open to tourists, the second layer begins to have spirits, but it is easier to deal with, and it is also the place where the colleges and churches of the royal capital give apprentices blood, the third layer is starting to be a little dangerous, I think if they want to try the water, they should go to the fourth layer, there will be deadly spirits, if it is the fourth layer, I don't think 2000 yuan is worth it."
"It's okay, let's just see the other side of the royal capital." Marin smiled and comforted Faye: "Besides, since it is their trial, it is impossible for their mentor to give them a mortal mission. ”
"I think so too, so do you want to let those buns [fo] from the royal capital have a long experience, Marlin." Logan asked with a smile.
"No problem, go ahead, tell them, get the money ready." After Marin finished speaking, he turned his head to comfort Faye, although the girl was angry, but finally chose to forgive under Marin's hippie smile: "Okay, okay, but I can't accompany you this time, I want to go home once, after all, I haven't been back to that home for many years." ”
"No one will come to fight with me this time." Marin asked with a smile, of course he knew where Faye was talking about.
"Who knows, maybe they have only heard of Marin's name, and they haven't seen Marin's people, maybe some people will be evil and angry." The girl replied solemnly.
To this, Marin also replied with a shy face: "Then I can only invite them to meet in the dueling arena." ”
"Before you do this, I think I should invest in the funeral service industry in the royal capital first, because I think as long as Marin starts a duel, this business will definitely be on fire for a while." Logan laughed, his joke echoed by many of his apprentices.
Marin also laughed - this joke is good, the so-called dead poor road is not as good as the dead road friend, there is enough elegance and vulgarity to appreciate.
