The training room of the General's Mansion is lined with armor tied to stakes, and dolls made of straw that are used as arrow targets. Weapons cabinets lined up with various unfired weapons can be seen on the wall.

This is where General Justin trains on weekdays.

At this time, Jon was standing in the training room, holding a black iron sword and had just finished a series of stab training, his face was not ordinary red, his forehead was oozing sweat, and his exhalation contained the heat of exercise.

Jon clenched the six-pound iron sword hard, and after holding the upper stance, he exhaled and swung the sword slowly.

Stop at the last moment before swinging your sword hits the floor, then inhale and raise it up to the upper stance. He gradually increased the speed of his sword swing practice, his eyes staring sharply at the space in front of him, and he just focused on practicing without distraction.

Jon wasn't a knight of the Empire, but he had been rigorously trained as an adventurer, but the weight of the great greatsword was still heavy for him. Especially when swinging the sword downward, you have to control the speed and not knock it to the floor, which requires quite strong arm strength.

After more than four hundred exercises, Jon's arms began to cramp as if he were wailing, and sweat poured from his face.

The scarecrows and armor stakes around them had been slashed by Jon an unknown number of times, but the sharp scars were nowhere near as deep as the previous ones. The one who left those marks must be Justin, and Jon sighed, the gap between him and Justin was still huge.

Jon reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, walked to the weapons cabinet, and put the pitch-black iron sword in his hand back in place, and removed a few heavy pieces of metal from his wrists and ankles, so that the endurance training showed his effort.

"Why are you so cruel to yourself today, it's rare to see you so diligent and hardworking......"

Upon hearing the sound, Jon hurriedly turned in the direction of the sound to see a male figure burst into view.

It was none other than Justin, who had just returned from the palace.

There is no better word to describe him than the word "lean".

It's such an iron-clad man. The rocky face wrinkled and wrinkled, and he looked older than he really was, and the strong muscles proved that the man was not a general.

This is how Justin is in Jon's mind.

"You're finally back Justin, keep me waiting." Jon laughed.

"When I was done, I hurried back. I'm a little surprised to see you train so hard here, but it's too much to keep practicing, and it's useless to force yourself. Justin stepped forward and said.

Jon looked at his trembling right hand and nodded, "I'm pushing myself a little too much......"

Justin proposed, "Jon, how about you fight me once?" I remember the last time we played each other was a month ago. ”

Hearing Justin say this, Jon's flat expression almost went out of shape for a moment.

Every time Jon faced Justin, he ended in a crushing defeat. Jon regards Justin as his eternal rival and has always hoped that he can catch up with Justin in swordsmanship, but for now, it is still far from it.

But Jon also has his own strengths, and that is his mastery of magical power. After all, his identity is still a platinum-level adventurer, which cannot be compared even to Justin.

Justin couldn't help but sigh, "This mission made me realize that I am not good at martial arts, so I want to practice martial arts with a guy who is a little capable." ”

Justin's words couldn't help but surprise Jon, you must know that although Justin is just a knight with superb swordsmanship, he has magical equipment rewarded by His Majesty the King, national treasure-level weapons, plus some magic control, even Jon can't guarantee that he is much stronger than Justin.

"Justin, you think so?" What kind of situation can make Justin, who is called the strongest in the empire, admit that he is not good at martial arts? At this point, Jon remembered that there seemed to be only one member of the Eight Guards commanded by Justin.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Jon was able to guess the truth, and this mission took a heavy toll on Justin's brave heart, so he began to question his own strength.

"yes, if it weren't for the ambush of the Hilton Kingdom's assassination team and the rescue of a powerful magic chanter with a chivalrous heart, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here now......" Justin told Jon about the escort mission.

After listening to Justin's personal experience, Jon exclaimed one after another, "Who is that magic bard?" Are we from the Thunder Alliance Empire? ”

"That Excellency calls himself Louis, I don't think he should be from the Thunder Alliance Empire, and he also does not belong to the other two countries, after all, there is no shortage of hermits in the Middle Domain. However, I suspect that your Excellency will be able to match the Otrom of the Hilton Kingdom......"

"Louie? It's an extremely common name, and it seems that most of the men with this name can be found in the entire Middle Domain. However, you say that he can match the Otrom, who is known as the Demon Emperor? ”

Jon also worships heroes and does not discriminate on race. Not only that, but the adventure legends of well-known adventurers from neighboring countries, as long as he can find out, he collects them one by one. Jon had been an adventurer for a few years, and had befriended various magic bards over the years, but he had no memory of the name Justin mentioned at this time.

"Don't talk about me, what's going on with you today?" Justin asked, looking at Jon.

"That's right, I'm going to the Warcraft Mountains tomorrow."

"Demonic Beast Mountain Range? Is there any bounty for the temple? ”

Jon told Justin about the mission.

"By the way, I photographed a high-grade magic weapon at the Underground Exchange earlier......," Jon said, pulling out the angel blade for Justin to see.

"This, this is really a good high-level magic weapon, compared to this, my national treasure-level weapons have lost their brilliance." Justin is also a little envious, after all, for him, weapons are also an inseparable part of life.

"That's what I bought and gave you!"

Jon smiled sincerely.

"Give it to me?" Justin knew the value of a high-level magic weapon, and Jon would have spent all his savings and even been in debt if he could buy such a treasure.

"As the saying goes, the sword is worthy of the hero, and you are more qualified than anyone else to have it! Besides, the friendship between you and me is far more than a sword. But I'm going to take it to the Warcraft Mountain Range to complete the mission first, and if I go back, this sword will be officially given to you! ”
