Chapter 28: Master of Swordsmanship
Early the next morning, Jiang Feng got up early.
After a brief wash, the maid of the manor had already placed the food on his wooden table.
By the standards of the world's aborigines, the breakfast was quite generous. Creamy toast sprinkled with matsutake mushrooms and a small pot of black tea with honey. After routinely confirming that the food was non-toxic, Jiang Feng simply filled his stomach and then went downstairs.
The atmosphere in the manor is so heavy that you can feel it even when you look at it.
The wooden house of the dead man had been cordoned off by soldiers armed with spears. Worry was written on the faces of the people, especially the servants who lived in the manor, talking about the dead old Nohan, and their faces were full of fear and sorrow.
"Could it be the wizard ......?"
"No, wasn't he with Miss Delia last night?"
"Maybe Second Miss, she's been bewitched by witchcraft."
"But why did he do it to old Nohan? They hadn't even seen each other. ”
"Hell knows what those mysterious guys are thinking."
"Shhhh Are you crazy?! If the wizard hears it......"
These discussions naturally couldn't escape Jiang Feng's ears, but he chose to pretend not to hear them.
First, he is far away, and second, as an imposter wizard, he really has no suitable means to punish those who talk about him behind his back.
Fortunately, this is a stardust abundance is relatively high, if you change to a planet with a lower stardust abundance than the home planet of the Earth Federation, I am afraid that the half-hung wizard will be burned at the stake by these fools who are afraid of mysterious power before they are fully developed.
Here, however, the power of the sorcerer is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and powerful witchcraft moves mountains and reclaims the sea.
Even if everyone thought that it was the new wizard who had moved into the manor who had killed old Nohan, no one would dare to treat him for offending. Unless he has done something unforgivable such as slaughtering a city or destroying a village, a character like a Demon Hunter or a Templar will come to fight him.
In the open space of the manor, Jiang Feng happened to meet Delia who was exercising in the morning.
This was the first time he had seen Delia wearing a swordsman's suit sewn from coarse cloth, and when she was on the ship, she was wearing a long pale green dress.
The half-human-high long sword in his hand danced in the air, there were no fancy moves, just simple slashing and stabbing, but from the whirring wind, he could still feel the fierceness hidden in the moves.
It seems that although this Delia person is occasionally a little stupid, his skills are not ambiguous.
As soon as Jiang Feng thought about this, he saw a slight flash of white light, and the long sword flew out of Delia's hand and plunged into the flowers on the side.
I don't know when he has withdrawn the long sword in his hand, and the middle-aged man with the scar from his right eye to the tip of his nose is standing aside with his arms crossed, and said lightly.
"The hind arm did not exert force, and he swung the sword two hundred times. Let me find out you're lazy again, four hundred times. ”
Delia, who had been reprimanded by her master, walked towards the garden in despair and picked up the long sword.
This should be Delia's master, the legendary master of swordsmanship?
Unexpectedly, the long sword in Delia's hand flew out with a single sword, Jiang Feng's face was slightly surprised, and he said silently in his heart.
"Brain, scan him."

[Ailment: None]
Muscle strength 3? It's already close to Jiang Feng's 3.2.
But this is nothing, after all, only the natives will be interested in cultivating muscles, and the several genetic optimizations of citizens in the history of the Federation have only improved the structure of muscle cells to a certain extent, and have not done targeted reinforcement of the muscle strength of citizens, and Jiang Feng himself has not seriously exercised. It is said that some athletes can achieve a muscle strength of 10 after intensive training, but unfortunately there are no such people among his friends.
What really surprised Jiang Feng was those two points of perception.
This thing is a talent that genetic engineering is difficult to interfere with, because it involves a sixth sense that materialist civilization knows little about. Without the help of implants, humanoids can reach 2 points of perception, which can already be said to be quite amazing.
Sure enough, the swordsman noticed Jiang Feng's gaze towards him, and nodded slightly to this side.
Being able to be revered as a master in the field of swordsmanship shows that his attainments in swordsmanship have reached the pinnacle, even if he is an opponent of a wizard's apprentice. But even so, his status is not comparable to that of a wizard apprentice.
After all, the value of a shaman to the worldly elite is simply difficult to measure by the worldly value. Even an apprentice-level wizard can be placed on the battlefield to rival an army of five hundred people, and in the court it can deter those nobles with bad intentions.
And no matter how skilled a swordsman is, if he rushes into a phalanx of hundreds of people, he will be chopped into pulp by random knives.
This is the difference between strength and strength, and it has nothing to do with the word strength.
Of course, a swordsman is a swordsman after all, and the gap between mortals and wizards is not easy to bridge. Even if he is the hero of the swordsman, a one-star wizard is enough to make him fight with all his might, and a two-star wizard only needs to move his fingers to kill him.
By the way, wizards below the five-star level are just students in the Academy's Wizard Tower.
"Ah, it's the wizard, good morning...... Are you already up? ”
When he came out of the garden, Delia noticed Jiang Feng and politely greeted him good morning.
"Yes, I still have business to discuss with your father." Jiang Feng nodded slightly.
Although he didn't know who sent the note, he decided to take the warning seriously and leave Port Sevet as soon as possible. The water in the manor was probably deeper than he had imagined, and he decided to leave early tomorrow morning.
After saying goodbye to Delia, Jiang Feng took the carriage at the gate of the manor and went to the Governor's Mansion two streets next door.
There he met with Baron Fred's agent prepared for him.
"Dear Wizard, contemptible Du Wei, it's a pleasure to serve you."
Standing up from the sofa, the young man with a deer hunting hat took off his hat to Jiang Feng and said respectfully.
Standing next to him was Baron Fred.
Although something as serious happened last night, and it was in his estate. But at this moment, Jiang Feng couldn't see the slightest impact from his face because of the murder last night.
Perhaps, this is the so-called composure of the big guys?
With a warm smile on his face, Mr. Baron introduced the young man to Jiang Feng.
"Dewey is the third male of Sir Charles's family, having worked as an assistant to the Silver Seagull Chamber of Commerce, and now holds the position of clerk in the Governor's Office of Port Sevet. I can guarantee his character, and his ability is absolutely impeccable, I don't know his resume, are you satisfied? ”
When Baron Fred asked this sentence, Jiang Feng had already scanned his attribute panel with his wisdom brain.
In general, he is a guy with very ordinary qualifications.
But after all, it's not about choosing a lab assistant, it's just choosing an agent who helps you sell things, and you don't need a beautiful attribute panel. As long as the brain cell activity is slightly higher than that of Delia, it is enough.
"I think so." Jiang Feng nodded.
A happy expression appeared on Du Wei's face, and Baron Fred breathed a sigh of relief.
This young man was originally prepared to be trained as an economic adviser to the Governor's Palace, and his personal ability was naturally impeccable. Previously, he was worried that if such a talent could not satisfy Jiang Feng, who should he go to.
Now it seems that this concern is unfounded.
