Chapter 121: The Old Man
"Liu Li, what the hell were you doing just now?" Liu Li was the first to visit, an old acquaintance who was in charge of the reception on this trip. Mérieux can become Wells' deputy, which also proves his strength from the side. Now that he is only seventy years old, he is already a third-order junior spellcaster, and it is not impossible to break through to the high level in his lifetime, although his talent is worse than Liu Li, but in this world, he can also be classified as a genius. "And this time the team leader has a very unusual relationship with you, it seems that you just took that girl directly to your room. ”
I don't know if it's influenced by Wells, Mérietre often mingles in the taverns infested by mercenaries, and learns both their boldness and impropriety, when Liu Li lived in the Mage Tower before, he didn't tease Liu Li with meat jokes, but he didn't expect to see him for more than three years, and there is still no change, and he still looks so unserious.
"Well, actually, I'm the team leader this time. Liu Li didn't hide anything at this point, the other party had been notified by the academy that a group of students were going to come here for an internship, it can be said that Mérietre was the person in charge of Casfield City, so it was reasonable for Liu Li to tell the other party the actual situation.
"Hey, Liu Li, what strength do you have now?" Mérietre was very surprised, being able to lead the internship team proves that Liu Li's current strength has been affirmed by the academy. You must know that Liu Li has just left here for more than three years, and before leaving, he was only a first-order junior spellcaster, in such a short period of time, it is difficult to say whether a mage with average talent can be promoted by one level, and Liu Li can already lead the team, which makes him not surprised.
"Second-order senior, I was just promoted a few days ago...... As for martial arts, he has already been promoted to the third order. ”
"In vain, I was called a genius by your teacher, this is compared to you, no wonder you were accepted by that old drunkard as a personal disciple, this talent ...... Gee. Mérieux couldn't make any other expressions except for a wry smile, "And you really got through the path of dual cultivation of law and martial arts, it's really amazing." ”
"By the way, Merry, do you know why the teacher left?"
"I didn't know before, but now, I guess everyone who should know already knows...... Okay, boy, are you testing me?" Mérietre saw Liu Li's expression, and immediately understood what was going on, but there was nothing he could do about it, Liu Li was no longer the child he used to handle, and now in terms of total strength, Liu Li was even stronger than him. "Anyway, who taught you how to learn spells when you went to the Academy of Magic? If you don't have a good mentor, I don't believe you can improve so quickly. ”
"Well, you guessed that...... All I can say is that you guessed right. ”
"Really...... I had long heard that the old drunkard was out of the same house as that teacher, and there was still a leg between them. ”
"If either of them knew what you said, I wouldn't have been able to save you. Liu Li looked at the open-mouthed uncle in front of him helplessly, and could only remind him vaguely. In this way, he took off his robe and put on a leather armor, and threw it into the mercenary group, he was completely an old oilman, and others would never see any flaws.
"So you're not going to betray me, are you?" Mérietre chuckled sadly, "If you dare to spread the word, I'll tell them that you're here and you're taking the 'leader' directly to the room." You have to know that my ability to make up stories is still very strong, and the majority of mercenary compatriots can attest to this. ”
Bidding farewell to this unscrupulous guy, Liu Li's next target is the Camus family's blacksmith shop.
Walking through the familiar streets, Liu Li found that Casfield City had hardly changed from when he left, so he said hello to the uncle in the shop on the street, bought two meatloaf, and walked forward while nibbling. I still remember that when I had to go to the city guard training ground early in the morning to train with those boys, it was this thing that filled his stomach and allowed him to cope with half a day of training.
Camus's blacksmith shop was not far from the barracks, and when she knocked on the door, Liu Li could faintly hear the shouting and cheering from the training ground. Camus, who opened the door, looked sleepily at the familiar figure in front of him, and gradually opened his mouth wide, revealing a look of disbelief. Liu Li could see that this familiar dwarf had just gotten up, and he hadn't even had time to take care of the beard he had always cherished.
"Don't you invite me in and sit down?" Liu Li's voice was as bright as the sun this morning. Of course, as soon as he said this, he regretted it, regretting why he didn't cover his ears in advance. The cheerfulness made him ignore the dwarf's loud voice, especially from such a close distance, which made his head buzz.
"Dad, Liu Li is back!" Camus's temperament was the same as before, he did not greet Liu Li into the house, but shouted and then turned around and ran, the frequency of the two little short legs upside down could almost be seen afterimage, and then was knocked to the ground by Carbine, who heard his shouting.
"Uncle Carbin, it's early. Liu Li smiled and said hello, "Are you dwarves so happy in your daily life?"
"Okay, you stinky boy, you dare to tease me if you haven't seen me for a few years? Come with me to the training ground in a while, and let me see how you have grown over the years. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, I won't let you down. Liu Li responded confidently as she took out the gift she brought. It was a small jar he had placed in the "Black Ring", and it contained the spider wine made by Karen, the old blacksmith of Ellenor City, that is, Carbine's father. As for the "black ring" on his finger, it took Landolia a week to refine it for him. The attentive vice president knew that Liu Li had a lot of things to bring with him when he revisited his hometown, and although the new black ring was not as good as the one that was blown up by him in Tulum Town, it was enough to hold his luggage.
"Well, what is this? Looking at the style of this jar, it seems familiar...... Could it be ......" Carbine couldn't wait to open the sealed wine jar in his hand, took a sip directly, and then sighed with an intoxicated face: "Ah, it's really this familiar taste." Poor Uncle Carbine, who had no defense against his son, who had risen from behind, was kicked to the ground by Camus, snatched the jug, and poured the rest of the wine into his mouth.
The wine jar is indeed not big, but Liu Li seems that the wine contained in it is more than two catties, but the two dwarves drank it all in just one sip, so he had to admire the dwarf's amount of wine, and it really lived up to its reputation. Liu Li looked at the father and son who were glaring at each other, and hurriedly took out the other nine cans from the black ring, and said at the same time: "There are only ten cans in total, and I don't have any more!"
More than a pound of spider wine can't make any impact on Carbine, at least his pace is still steady when he takes Liu Li to the training ground, and he can't see a little drunk. To be honest, Liu Li was very envious of this talent, especially at this moment, he knew that when he went to meet Li'er in the mercenary guild later, he would have to have a few drinks with those familiar guys.
"Come on, let me see what makes you so fearless. Carbine, who was holding a shield in his left hand and a dwarven battle axe in his right hand, looked at Liu Li, who was standing opposite, and spoke.
Liu Li did not take out the "return", but only selected a heavy steel gun from the arsenal of the city guards. He could see that the weapon in Carbine's hand was only made of mortal iron, especially the shield, which was only the standard heavy shield of the city guards, and it was not even a dwarven craft.
Seeing that the dwarf put on a defensive posture, Liu Li didn't delay any longer, grabbed a spear and rushed straight up, and with a stabbing blow, he had already used the force of "penetration".
"Hey, martial arts, it looks like you really can't release water. ”
Carbine's shield was obliquely blocked, and Liu Li clearly felt the shock of the spear in his hand, and the attack of the straight stab was dissolved. He had never known that Carbine was also a full-fledged martial artist, and that his proficiency was much higher than that of this "shock".
"Uncle Carbine, it's not right to hide secrets, why didn't you teach me this back then?"
"Nonsense, I didn't want to wait for you to lay a solid foundation before officially teaching you martial arts, which Cheng wanted your teacher to send you away directly. Carbine replied angrily: "But that's okay, the dwarves' martial arts are too far from your fighting style, at least we dwarves have never had a warrior with a long weapon." ”
Hearing Carbine's explanation, Liu Li thought deeply, dwarves are not good at riding, and the average height is only one meter, two or three, so it is really embarrassing for them to use long weapons of this size. When he first learned how to use a spear, he was also instructed by a human instructor.
Liu Li, who shot again, used it not as a simple stabbing attack, or point or pounce, or wrap or dial, and the spear skills that had not been used for a long time became more and more proficient in Liu Li's hands, and each blow contained the power of the primary martial arts. Now that he knows Carbine's identity as a warrior, Liu Li no longer needs to keep his hands, whether it is the use of spear skills or the conversion of martial arts, he does his best, except for the fusion of the martial arts of the middle-level martial artists, the beginner-level combat method is vividly exerted by him in the offensive.
"Yes, yes, you have mastered the beginner martial arts so proficiently in more than three years, it seems that you have not wasted much effort, but if it is just like this, I am far from winning. Carbine could naturally see that Liu Li still had reservations. Although he was slightly inferior to Kuhn in terms of martial arts cultivation, he also had the strength of a fifth-order high-level. In order to let Liu Li show what he had learned, the dwarf uncle said provocatively: "This way, as long as you can break the shield in my hand, you will win this battle." ”
Liu Li was angry, where did he think that Carbine was so hidden, even if he used a mid-level martial art, it would be even more difficult to break through the heavy shield in his hand. The spear in Liu Li's hand danced faster and faster, but the stormy offensive was still unable to make a contribution when it met Carbine's airtight block.
However, Liu Li is not a person who gives up easily, he is ready to integrate the mid-level exclusive martial arts that have just seen the embryonic form into the attack. Liu Li's mid-level martial arts were different from ordinary martial artists, and even Fei Li was amazed by this. It was an attack that stacked two identical primary-level martial arts and exerted the power of the primary-level martial arts to the extreme.
"Uncle Carbine, be careful. Liu Li took a few steps back, concentrated his strength, and then stabbed out. On the surface, this attack looked no different from the first surprise attack since the fight, but the superposition of the "Penetration" martial art made the power contained in it more than several times more than before.
Carbine's way of dealing with it was no different from before, although he sensed that Liu Li's blow was not simple, he had enough confidence in his high-level strength.
The exchange of spears and shields made a thunderous explosion, and although the spear was still set aside by the carbine, the heavy shield in his hand also shattered along with Liu Li's spear. The mid-level martial art - "Stacking", in the training ground of the city guards in this Casfield City, is beginning to show its edge.
"It was a good shot. Carbine looked at the broken shield in his hand in surprise, and the spear that was broken into several pieces on the ground, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, stinky boy, you won this time, although it was a trick, but it was not bad." ”
