Chapter 1069: The Name of the Sky Knight
Neverwinter, flight training ground.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up, keep your body balanced!"
"Your legs are simply weaker than a baby!"
"Direction, pay attention to your direction!"
"Hey, where are you going? I should have put braziers on both sides of the aisle. ”
"Spit to the side and spit on, don't spit on the board, or lick it clean for me!"
"Next, Goode!"
"Yes!" Goode snapped, took a deep breath, and walked over to a swivel chair and sat down.
The grim face of the instructor Eagle Face also came into his eyes.
Even just looking at each other made Goode shudder—he heard that the other party was originally the commander of the Northland garrison, and after the rotation, he returned to Neverwinter, participated in the internal review of the army, and became a member of the reserve of the Sky Knights. This meant that not only did he go through the battle of the church, but he also gave up the vacation he was supposed to take to a new level of training.
In other words, the other party belongs to the kind of character who is cruel to others and cruel to himself.
Being targeted by such a person, he only felt that the pressure was huge.
As soon as he sat down, two of his teammates, Finkin and Hinds, surrounded him.
On their faces, Goode saw a look of self-pity.
Then the chair spun up quickly—
This is one of the most headaches he has had since joining the reserves: a five-meter-long, palm-wide wooden plank called a flyover is placed in front of the swivel chair. And they had to be spun around for half a minute, and then they walked over the plank.
What anyone can easily do in normal times becomes completely different after the rotation, the body seems to lose its center of gravity, the heavens and the earth are shaking, let alone walking on the overpass, and even maintaining a standing posture is not an easy task. Hawkface usually divides the 10 workouts into groups, with the worst performers being punished with punishments such as "cleaning the toilet", "cutting out weeds", or taking a full day off on weekends.
Goode tried it once.
As a result, while everyone else was happily eating dinner, he vomited all over the dormitory.
Such a bad experience, he didn't want to come back a second time.
"Stop!"
With a command, the spinning chair was abruptly stopped by his companion, and Goode resisted the dizziness of rushing to his brain and jumped out of the chair.
"Hurry, don't be stunned, get up!"
He gritted his teeth, raised his gaze, staggered onto the plank, and walked towards the other end - after ten days of practice, he found a small trick, that is, staring at the feet is more likely to be unstable, it is better to look straight ahead, and use body memory to control the steps.
When the solid touch came from the soles of his feet, Goode realized that he had completed this bridge.
"Good, so good......"
"I didn't miss a single step!"
"This is the first time, right?"
There was a sudden sound of discussion behind him.
He turned around and looked at Hawkface, who raised the corners of his mouth rarely, "Yes, it seems that you are not hopeless. ”
"But!" the instructor paused, his tone changed, "Only one person has actually passed today, and this score is the worst in all the classes!"
Everyone suddenly let out a wail.
"Hey, how did you do that?" said Finkin, squeezing over Goode, wincing his eyebrows.
"Remember the size of your stride, assume you're not dizzy, just walk as you normally would. ”
"Is this still imaginary?" Heinz followed, "Isn't that tantamount to lying to yourself?"
These two people are the same batch of applicants who passed the assessment as Goode, so they became acquainted within a few days, and the air riders grouped them together according to the division of three people and a team, and now they are almost inseparable "comrades-in-arms".
"You don't care if it's a scam or not, as long as it can get through. Goode tapped his head, "Generally speaking, the smarter people are, the harder it is to deceive themselves, and you should be able to do it easily." ”
"Come on," Finjin was unconvinced, "didn't it just succeed once, depending on your pride of it." ”
"Make a bet, I'll be able to succeed in three ...... in a group No, five times!"
"Then I'll pack all the clothes you want to do this week!"
"Panties count, too?"
"Uh......"
"Don't argue," Heinz chimed in, "what I want to know is, can you really become an empty knight by practicing these things on the ground?"
The two of them were dumbfounded for a while, and this question could be regarded as the unanimous confusion of all the preparatory students. What is walking on the overpass, crossing the rollers, and identifying the wind direction...... It's more of a juggling than a warrior. Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal teaching was nowhere to be seen, but the method was taught to the backbone of the First Army, and then they led the class.
In addition, the training is quite hard, not to mention the morning practice until night, and after nightfall, there will be intensive teaching, learning to read and write, if it is not for the promise of His Royal Highness Tilly himself, I am afraid that most people will doubt the authenticity of the announcement.
But the instructor's attitude was so strict that no one dared to bring it up in person.
"Who knows," Finjin shrugged after a moment, "at least the food here is good, and you can eat meat every day, and you can eat extra meals on weekends." ”
"I think ...... It is impossible for Your Highness to lie to us. "Didn't we get a bag of books that day, and my sister told me that there was a book called Principles of Flight...... It was written by Her Royal Highness the Princess. When we have mastered reading and writing completely, we may be able to understand the meaning of these exercises. ”
"You're optimistic," Finkin grinned.
"If I hadn't thought for the good, I would have died in exile. ”
"Alright, it's time to rest!" At this moment, the voice of the eagle face instantly overshadowed everyone's ears, "Come and line up, and practice again in the previous order!"
"Yes......" everyone said weakly.
However, the unexpected happened.
The door to the training room was suddenly pushed open, and a man in military uniform walked in and whispered a few words in Hawkface's ear.
Hawkface nodded, and after saluting it, he turned to look at the crowd.
"Congratulations, the follow-up exercises have been cancelled and you can continue to rest. ”
Finkin and Hinds breathed a sigh of relief, but Goode held his breath—he could clearly see a smile of insignificance on each other's faces. There's sarcasm, there's banter, and ...... Gloat?
"But not here. Sure enough, Hawkface continued, "Don't think I don't know what you're complaining about in private, but unfortunately with your poor heads, you can't understand even if you explain." But here comes your luck - now is your chance to see for yourself what the word Sky Knight means. ”
Empty Knight's ...... What does it really mean?
Goode suddenly felt his heart beat a little faster.
"Come with me," Hawkface swept slowly over everyone, "just don't be scared into peeing your pants later." ”
