Chapter 24: The results of the team battle
The benefits of practicing swordsmanship are very numerous, not only can make up for Mu Xiu's shortcomings in close combat, but also prevent him from always needing to fight hand-to-hand with his bare hands, and play the violent iron fist flow that has no beauty at all.
It can also allow him to have a safer channel for showing his force in this world and in this era, who does not plan to use firearms for the time being...... After all, you must know that the technology tree of this era has only lit up the stage of "arquebus" on this branch of "gunpowder weapons".
In such a situation, if he pulls out an M500 revolver that kills everyone with a single shot, or a desert eagle with unlimited ammo, God knows what will happen.
This was a more dangerous thing than he exposed his ability to manipulate electromagnetism, so after thinking about it, Mu Xiu felt that it was better to keep a low profile, so after seeing the Hasebe Kunishige that he had captured, he simply chose to master the ability of swordsmanship through exchange and practice.
After all, no matter what, if you can get a reputation like "Warring States Sword Hero", it's better than "a demon who uses a vicious firearm", right? Although the current news that he is a demon is just a rumor, he doesn't want to confirm this rumor from the other side.
In addition, it can also allow him to cultivate the power of the armed color domineering that he has mastered at the same time when he is practicing swordsmanship.
Although it is one of the domineering three colors, the armed color, originally used to evolve attack power and improve defense as the main role, if you cultivate to an extremely strong realm, then whether it is wrapped around the body or the weapon, it is the same power and fatality, and every move will simply explode.
- It's just that it's estimated that it's already the realm of being able to beat the elemental state of those with natural Devil Fruit abilities.
Mu Xiu himself said that he was still a long way from such a realm, and because there was no Devil Fruit ability for him to practice and experiment, he didn't know how far away this "far away" was. Besides, in any case, the material and lethality of weapons are always much stronger than limbs, right?
What will happen in the future, Mu Xiu doesn't know too much, but at least for now, the cell skeleton of the flesh and blood body can't compare to the sword made of steel in any way.
……
……
With the sound of the whistling wind, the last wooden stake was picked up in the air by the young man's toes, and then the cold light flashed, and it turned into four pieces in an instant, making four "snapping" sounds one after another, before falling to the ground.
The boy exhaled a long breath, then stopped practicing swordsmanship, inserted the knife back into its scabbard, and then raised his sleeve to wipe the fine beads of sweat from his forehead casually.
The sharpness of Hasebe Kunishige itself is enough to make people fearful, after all, it is said that it is an extremely sharp famous knife that kills the tea owner who hides under the cupboard without working just by pushing and cutting, and even the people with the table. And after Mu Xiu's armed color domineering blessing was strengthened, it was equivalent to directly obtaining a sharp +1 enchantment effect, so the lethality in Mu Xiu's hands was extremely deadly.
It's just that although the ashigaru soldiers around are the elite soldiers of the Imagawa army, they are much more professional than those who are farmers in peacetime and soldiers in wartime, but in the end, they still don't have much eyesight.
They just watched Mu Xiu's swordsmanship training these days in awe, and regarded the young man as a rare swordsmanship master as always. Such a sharp swing, such a fierce slash, such a fast movement...... If it were on the battlefield, I am afraid that they would be stabbed in the throat and heart without knowing it.
"Alright, you can come over here, and take the wood to the kitchen for firewood!" Casually glancing at the neat wooden blocks scattered all over the atrium, the boy turned to a few ashigaru soldiers and said.
His tone was very light, his voice was not heavy, and his words were clear, but it made a few ashigaru as if they had been whipped by an invisible whip in the air, and they quickly ran over to clean up the wood on the ground with their hands and feet.
However, seeing this, Mu Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter.
It's not that he doesn't feel that he can accept the strict and clear hierarchy of this feudal era, on the contrary, he is still trying to fit in as much as possible. - Although his personality has not changed, and he will not kill the so-called inferior people or anything at every turn, he also does not have the interest in defending any super-modern concept that everyone is equal.
If we look at it only from a moral sense, the strict hierarchy of the feudal era can naturally be concluded with just one sentence "The old society is all evil". However, if we look at it from the evolutionary point of view of human society, then existence is reasonable.
Mu Xiu felt that in the feudal era, the existence of hierarchy at least gave human beings more sense of crisis and upward motivation, and it was too unrealistic to liberate human beings in this era, and he thought that he would not be able to do such a feat. In addition, he intends to test how to awaken the "domineering" of the chosen one who only has one among millions of people, which requires that the subject must first have the "qualifications of a king" who stands above others......
Therefore, although he sympathized with the miserable life of the low-class people and deeply understood the nature of the landlord class leading beasts and cannibalism, it was impossible for him to preach the truth that everyone was equal.
It's just that now he can't say that he has become a real superior with the posture of fighting for the king, and even these twenty ashigaru soldiers have not been able to truly surrender to him and become his real private soldiers. The reason why they were so in awe of Mu Xiu was because the boy was their nominal boss, and because of the boy's own strength—they regarded the boy as a samurai with excellent swordsmanship.
That's why Mu Xiu frowned, he already realized the problem, and it couldn't go on like this.
It's just that now he doesn't have any good way to solve this problem, so he can only act at the opportunity, after all, it's impossible to suddenly run to the lord of the black Changzhi country and ask him to directly become the lord of a city and a country or something, right? Before the signs of Mu Xiu's head fainting were not particularly serious, he didn't plan to take such a brain-dead approach.
"Hmm...... It's a good day today, why don't you go back and catch up on some sleep? ”
After completing the first half of the day's training, he still maintained the ability to locate electromagnetic waves and detect domineering colors, and at the same time, he stretched his waist vigorously, looked at the white clouds in the clear sky, and said to himself. It's not an illusion, Mu Xiuzhen feels that his whole person has become very lazy-
In addition to insisting on swordsmanship training for an hour every day, and using swordsmanship training to disguise the blatant cultivation of armed color domineering, the only way to continue to maintain the radio wave emission that is not too hard and the spread of seeing and hearing color domineering is to continue at other times.
There are also people who go to the castle lord's mansion every day as a routine, and stand in the council hall as the new lieutenant general of the Imagawa country, listening to all kinds of tirades that they don't understand at all, and acting as a puppet for one to two hours......
That's what he's been on the agenda these days, monotonous and unchanging.
However, Mu Xiu was so happy, in his opinion, he simply got up and exercised for two hours every day, and then received a notice to "go to work", and he didn't have to do anything, just go to the "company", go to the "boss" to stand in front of the "boss" for one to two hours to express his work attitude, and then he was able to "get off work".
What could be more relaxing and enjoyable? You must know that even when Gui Daisy "exploited" herself and asked herself to deal with the affairs of the student union, she was much more ruthless than this.
Therefore, Mu Xiu is inevitably a lot lazy, is this really because there is no pressure?
After coming to this world, although the living conditions can be said to be very poor, the poor supply of materials makes it difficult for him to spend even if he has money. But in fact, with a big ball of light, he didn't feel much wronged by himself, plus there is no industrial pollution in this era, and the air is fresh and natural......
Anyway, after perceiving that the "Lord God" was still operating normally, and initially judged that he was not in danger of being wiped out, Mu Xiu completely relaxed, and he had a very comfortable past few days.
"Or ...... Getting out for a walk? ”
Rubbing his eyebrows vigorously, Mu Xiu glanced directly at the street outside the door, and after a little hesitation, he immediately lost interest.
"Forget it, there's nothing, and it's uncomfortable to go out......"
So he waved his hand very casually, and then walked back to his longhouse under the awe-inspiring gaze of those ashigaru soldiers.
Even though it's a single-person longhouse, and it's much better than the dormitories where the ashigaru people live, it's still too basic. Mu Xiu sat back on the old-looking tatami mat at the low table by the window, and while looking at the narrow space around him boredly, he subconsciously let his eyes skip the corners where there was basically no furniture or decoration at all.
This is really too simple, and the only good thing is that he can shelter from the wind and rain, so that he can sleep in the open without meals.
Moreover, there was not even a decent fence between the surrounding houses, which made Mu Xiu feel that he was actually still living in a group dormitory, except that he occupied a larger space than others. - No one can ask for anything more from such a luxurious and elegant residence.
Mu Xiu was the same, not only was he content and happy, but he also showed an expression of relief at this moment.
Because just at the moment when he swung the last sword, the cold prompt voice of the "Lord God" sounded directly, telling him that the team battle was over, and he had accumulated five points and received 10,000 reward points. If it weren't for the fact that his self-control was barely passable, he would not have changed at all, but shouted out directly with joy:
Although there is no 7,000 reward points for the first place and an additional reward for a B-level side story, it indicates that a certain hope in his heart will be directly empty, but it also alleviates the biggest anxiety hidden deep in his heart-
He is not the last one, and he will not encounter the end of being wiped out by the big ball of light.
This is really the best news, Mu Xiu only felt that all the gloom in his heart dissipated all of a sudden, like a cloud opening a snow mist. To put it mildly, I feel that my bones are a few taels lighter, and I walk flutteringly, almost wanting to go to the moon.
Of course, more importantly -
"That damn ninja finally stopped spying on me every day...... Now I can breathe a sigh of relief. ”
After gritting his teeth slightly, and once again making sure that there was no such feeling outside his line of sight through his various physical perceptions, Mu Xiu exhaled the exchange interface of the "Main God" light ball in an almost ferocious attitude.
Then, in less than a second, the only piece of furniture in the room in front of him, the low table, quickly added boxes of snacks and a pot of hot black tea.
Immediately after that, he immediately "chirp chirp" while pouring black tea with just the right temperature and taste in his mouth, and it didn't take long to put down the almost empty teapot, and the whole person was extremely comfortable, and let out a long sigh.
