Chapter 359: The Most Peculiar Talent in the Universe
Boom! Boom! Qiang β
A series of clashes of gold and iron rang out from the top of the tower, and they were immediately restrained in a room by some force.
Below the tower, Seymour, who was departing with Lyanna and Oak, suddenly stopped, turned his head a little strangely, and looked at the top floor of the tower.
"What's wrong, Seymour?"
ββ¦β¦ It's nothing. β
Seymour shook his head, muttering 'strange' as he restarted his steps.
On the top floor of the tower, the sound of gold and iron clashing quickly subsided.
Lin Yi stood there with a calm expression, and the clothes on his body were not the slightest messy.
Opposite him, Aster, dressed in silver armor, leaned against the corner of the wall and gasped slightly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his right hand was holding a silver long sword, looking both lost and satisfied.
"You really relied on your sword skills to defeat Lord Vandal."
ββ¦β¦ Or else? β
Lin Yi asked casually, and by the way, he hugged the little black cat he had put down before again.
Hearing Lin Yi's rhetorical question, Astor smiled, took out something from his arms and threw it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi reached out to catch it and found that it was a black irregular object in the shape of a triangular pyramid.
"This style ...... It doesn't fit the aesthetic of elves, right? β
"Yes, Dark Elves."
"Ah......h Truly. β
Lin Yi fiddled with it a little, and the object in his hand suddenly changed, the black metal stretched out and closed, revealing cracks with red light, projecting a red three-dimensional projection in mid-air.
Looking at the picture displayed in the red projection, Lin Yi couldn't help frowning.
This is exactly the picture he used to control the silver-white dragon to hit the black spaceship.
"This is what you got from the downed ship!"
"That's right."
"No wonder you just said something like that." Lin Yi shook his head and said, "You think I crushed Vandal with great strength, so I want to try it myself." β
"I'm sorry, I offended."
"It's okay, you should have said it in the first place, I prefer straight swordsmen."
"But at first I didn't know your power."
ββ¦β¦ Well? β
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, looking a little puzzled.
Astor smiled and said, "Your Excellency Sword Master, you don't have to doubt that my first reverence for you was true, and it was only after seeing your great power that I had a trace of doubt. β
"You may have heard that elves have evolved a special kind of stubbornness in order to cope with their long lives, and this stubbornness can make elves extremely obsessed and eager for their own hobbies."
"At the same time, due to the nature of the elves and the bad environment of Alfheim, the vast majority of elves will choose flowers or singing and dancing as hobbies, but I am different, I choose swordsmanship!"
As he spoke, Astor's face showed a hint of pride, but then there was a hint of amazement.
"A thousand years have passed, and I have never regretted my choice, and I have always been proud of my swordsmanship talent, and I feel that I am a swordsman who can be counted in Alfheim and even the Nine Realms, until I met Vandal."
"At that banquet, he beat me with ease and grace in one hand with a wine glass and a sword in the other, and from then on, I realized that my proud talent for swordsmanship might not be much."
"The Nine Realms are too big, the universe is too big, so big that it has to make people feel a little afraid."
"So please believe me, I have long understood the vastness of the universe, and I have long passed the stage of gambling, so when I heard the news that you easily defeated His Excellency Vandal, my reverence and yearning came from the heart."
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at the stunned Aster, Lin Yi frowned slightly.
"Is this what Vandal taught you?"
"No, I figured it out myself."
"It's not like figuring it out." Lin Yi shook his head, "Aster, you've reached a dead end. β
Astor was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "I just ran out of talent...... Sir Swordmaster, don't talk about this, you should have seen my two children just now, right? β
"See, what, you want to give your son to me as an apprentice?"
"Of course it would be great if you could, but I don't think that kid can get into your eyes, although he also chose swordsmanship, his swordsmanship talent is not very high, not even as good as Lyanna, let alone me, when I first started learning swords, I ......"
"I'll take it!"
"My swordsmanship teacher ......"
Astor's words came to an abrupt end, and he looked at Lin Yi in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"You...... What do you say? β
"I said I took it."
"But...... If you want to think about it again, I would like to recommend you Lyanna, whose swordsmanship talent far surpasses Seymour's, and even surpasses me. β
"But she didn't choose swordsmanship, did she?"
Lin Yi patted Astor on the shoulder, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Do you want to make a bet?"
Astor was stunned: "What bet?" β
Lin Yi walked to the balcony, turned his back to Astor and said, "You think Seymour's talent is not as high as yours, and his future achievements are limited, but I don't see it that way, I think his future achievements must be above you...... What do you think? Do you want to pick it up? β
ββ¦β¦β
Astor fell silent.
Lin Yi glanced at him obliquely.
"Aster, this is not just a bet, you said that you have passed the stage of gambling, but even I have not passed this stage, why do you want to go through this stage?"
ββ¦β¦β
Astor was stunned again.
But at this time, Lin Yi had already shown a trace of impatience.
"You just say you can't answer it, if you don't answer again, I'm going to drive people out!"
ββ¦β¦ I'll pick it up! I took it! β
Astor nodded hurriedly.
For some reason, when he said this, a trace of inexplicable happiness suddenly welled up in Aster's heart, but before he could savor it, Lin Yi, who was originally on the balcony, had already appeared in front of him in an instant, and patted his shoulder vigorously with his right hand.
"Then it's settled, send that kid to my room by tonight."
Lin Yi patted Aster's shoulder with a smile, but Astor was still shocked by Lin Yi's ghostly speed.
Such a speed...... Even if you don't use sword skills, you can easily send the blade into your heart!
What's more, at such a terrifying speed, he can actually protect the sleeping little black cat in his arms from being affected, what a terrifying precise control is required!
Looking at the little black cat that was still sleeping, Astor couldn't help but sigh more and more.
When he came back to his senses, Lin Yi had already opened the door of the guest room.
Astor hurriedly stopped Lin Yi and said loudly.
"Your Excellency the Sword Master, what about Lyanna?"
"They, send them together, a sheep is a herd, a flock of sheep is also a herd, tell Iverios that I can teach Lyanna and Oak by the way, and enlighten them in swordsmanship, but only in Alfheim."
"I see...... Wait a minute! β
Astor suddenly realized something, and a hint of foreboding welled up in his mind.
"You mean, you're going to leave Alfheim with Seymour?"
Lin Yi paused, turned his head and looked at Astor with a strange expression.
"Of course, my apprentice naturally wants to follow me."
"But ......"
"No, but!"
"Seymour is only 100 years old, and he is still a ......"
"A hundred years old is old enough!"
Lin Yi interrupted Astor's words mercilessly.
Looking at Aster, who seemed to be a little reluctant, Lin Yi sighed in his heart and decided to release the last big move.
"Astor will tell you the truth, this bet is destined to lose, because I have discovered that Seymour is special in that he has a very strange talent, which I have named 'Median Talent'."
"Median talent?"
"That's right, you probably haven't heard of this talent, and that's normal."
Lin Yi looked at Aster, who was stunned by himself, and said earnestly.
"Because it's one of the most exotic talents in the universe!"
"A person with this kind of talent can have near-median achievements no matter where they are, for example, if you lock Seymour in Alfheim and let him grow up with Lyanna and others, then his future achievements can only be considered mediocre, and he will inevitably be below Lyanna, but if you put him in a group of more gifted geniuses......"
"Then he will achieve mid-level achievements among that group of geniuses?!"
Asterde's eyes were shining, and he had obviously been fooled and lame by Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded matter-of-factly, and then said solemnly: "Aster, don't worry, I will definitely find a group of the most talented geniuses as Seymour's senior brothers, and I will definitely not waste this child's precious talent." β
"That'...... Seymour, please! β
Astor bowed to Lin Yi with a serious and solemn expression, and then turned around in a trance, obviously not recovering from Lin Yi's flickering.
Lin Yi glanced at Astor inexplicably, then turned around and walked into the room, closing the door with his hand.
Then...... The corners of his mouth couldn't help but ripple into a bright smile.
"The player has been detected to be qualified as a master, and the [Master and Apprentice System] ...... is being activated"
"Congratulations to the player for successfully activating the [Master and Apprentice System], and now the search for apprentice candidates has begun."
"Search range: intelligent creatures, 10,000 kilometers away."
"Searching for ......"
"After the search, the candidate with apprentice qualifications has been detected: 1 person."
