Chapter 273: Splitting Wood

readx;? The next morning, Alan was finally able to sleep soundly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 But he was only halfway asleep when someone rushed in and woke Alan from his bed.

Alan opened his sleepy eyes and saw that it was Stany Andy, who had already translated the ancient book before harvesting the wheat, and gave all the translations to Stanny for him to study and study on his own, and then for a few days after harvesting the wheat, Stany never appeared. Alan thought he must be studying his translation of an ancient book, but he didn't expect him to come to him on the first day of his leisure.

Alan asked Stanny about his intentions, only to understand that this little guy is a knight and a ranger's dream, after practicing for a few days, he suddenly felt that he lacked a weapon that symbolized his identity, although it was said that the master of the ranger could not use a weapon when facing the enemy, but he always had to be accompanied by a long sword to show his identity, so he came to Allen again to study whether he could find a way to get a weapon, and on the other hand, what kind of weapon should he match.

Stanny said this, Alan was embarrassed, the people in Yuewan Village were all farmers, only Uncle Alba's family had a few short bows for hunting, but they were obviously not suitable for him to carry and use at present, and the rest were a few simple spears to deal with beasts that fell into traps, or were shot but not dead, this kind of spear is a wax stick with a javelin head at the tip. Apparently not suitable for Stanley to carry with him.

After thinking for a while, Allen, who couldn't figure out a way, could only persuade Stanny that when he had the opportunity to go out of the mountain to the town outside, he would definitely buy him a long sword made of fine steel, which would be majestic and practical to accompany him, so he reluctantly comforted Stanny.

However, the little guy put forward a new request, he hoped to have the opportunity to learn swordsmanship, but this ancient book only has the cultivation of fighting spirit, and there is no swordsmanship skills. Since Eren had promised him to buy him a long sword, what would a man who couldn't use a sword ask for a sword?

Alan suddenly felt that he had been deceived by the other party, and his promise to buy him a sword became a reason why he had to be given another set of sword practice methods.

However, he has already promised the other party, and Alan can't go back on it, so he can only think of a way to do it, but Allen, as a magician, doesn't know anything about swordsmanship, but he only has some side understanding of swordsmanship through his mercenary friends.

If Allen knew the best in terms of swordsmanship, he thought that it should be the middle-aged man at the top of the South Mountain during the academy competition, because this person didn't use fighting qi at all, and he had already defeated everyone with his swordsmanship alone. When the Holy See Templars besieged Old Man Gabriel, although it was the most powerful duel between the swordsmen Allen had ever seen, they were involved in too many fighting competitions, but they could not see the level of swordsmanship.

In addition to these great swordsman-level people, what makes Allen feel that his swordsmanship is more clever may be to cover his death under the wind blade of the Wind Wolf King Sterling, although Sterling's fighting spirit is not stronger than Captain Havech and others, but because of his swordsmanship, his strength is the strongest among several people.

Thinking of Sterling, Alan suddenly remembered one thing, at the forge in Iron Pine Town, Harvey once told him that his father told him: splitting wood contains the basic principles of kendo, and if a person splits wood well, swordsmanship will become half. This made Alan have an idea, the long sword is not available at the moment, but the axe is a lot of money, and the village woman does not want to help buy wood for the winter, this is a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

"Stanny, you know that cultivating magic is a very boring thing, but cultivating swordsmanship is a very hard thing, so are you ready to endure hardship?"

Alan asked with a smile, but Stanny didn't see that Alan was smiling like an old fox at this time, and just nodded seriously.

"Since you have the determination and perseverance, then this matter will be easy to do, you go back and get an axe, and we will start the first round of training right away. ā€

Here, Stanny had just gone out to get an axe, and Bai Lanxue had already pushed the door in.

"Breakfast is ready, you two go to eat. ā€

"Okay, though, there's a message after dinner that you need to inform Aunt Claire that they've given me the lumber-splitting job. ā€

"Are you crazy?"

Bai Lanxue looked at him with an expression of disbelief, but when Alan told him about his plan, Bai Lanxue couldn't help but say angrily:

"You have a lot of ideas, if Aunt Andy knows, she will definitely be half angry. ā€

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him. ā€

After breakfast, Alan took Stanny and Steven to the lumber yard, and the little girl Miranda didn't know how to get the news, and she also ran over to watch the excitement.

But when they actually walked to the lumber yard's mountain-like pile of lumber, several people were a little stunned, especially Stanny, who was full of confidence and his axe arm was trembling at this time.

"How's that? If we're scared, we'll have time to go back. ā€

Allen, of course, understands that it is better to be agitated.

"No, I'm just feeling a little cold. ā€

Stanny straightened his chest, which was not yet wide and solid, and said.

"There was once a child, when I met him, he was younger than you, but at that time he split wood alone for a forge, I don't know how many times as many times here, I used to ask him to learn magic with me, but he refused, he wanted to grow up to be a swordsman like his father. So if you want to become a swordsman, you have to endure some hardships and sweat. ā€

"Brother Allen, I understand, I will definitely do a better job than him. ā€

Stanny clenched his fists and said with some difficulty.

"Well, faith is the most important prerequisite for everything you do. ā€

After Allen finished speaking, he led a few little ones around the pile of wood, and then everyone sat down on the grass next to them to discuss the plan.

"I took a look at it, and there are three main types of timber in this pile, catalpa, oak and pine. Among them, catalpa wood is the loosest wood, oak wood and pine wood are harder, and the wood grain of pine wood is twisted, which is the most difficult to split, so Stanley you have to start with the simplest catalpa wood, then split oak, and finally split pine. When splitting wood, the most important thing is to observe the texture of each piece of wood, just like a swordsman looking for a flaw in his opponent and fighting for a single move. ā€

"Brother Allen, you know so much. ā€

The little girl Miranda began to look at Alan with admiration again, recently the little girl has been practicing meditation every day, and she has made rapid progress, and now she can build a most basic field in the world of meditation, which makes the little girl gradually realize the magic of the magic world, so she has become more and more adored for Allen as a teacher.
