Chapter XVII: The Wine of Intelligence
Bill, sweating profusely, is training basic swordsmanship in his room.
Since the last time he was abused in the Ya'an River and Mandi sword game, Bill has become more and more frustrated, and in the following time, he directly hired someone to hire a sword instructor, for which Bill has to pay a salary of ten gold coins a week
Of course, Bill was not without gain, in the first week, Bill learned a lot of basic swordsmanship, although expensive, Bill still thought it was worth the money.
Dressed in a snow-white sword suit, wearing a mighty face guard, holding a shining three-foot long sword, sometimes calm and relaxed, deep and mountainous, to respond to all changes, to win without moves, sometimes move like a cunning rabbit, fast like an arrow off the string, between the cold light, decisive victory thousands of miles away, courage and wisdom, passion and heroism This is the fencing that Bill just understood, this sport, is a compulsory course for every aristocratic education.
The swords commonly used in fencing are divided into foil, epee and sabre, the foil epee is good at stabbing attacks, and the sabre, but it can be slashed and slashed.
During this time, Bill also learned a lot of basic skills, basic sword moves and basic steps, and Bill learned a lot.
Just like that day when Bill faced Mandy's double stabs, parrying sword moves, and clever unloading skills
The more he learns this technique, the more Bill knows the gap between himself and the masters, which makes him decisively give up the idea of seeking revenge on Mandy.
'Whoosh~' The sharp thin sword slashed through the air and hissed.
Bill used a majestic thrust with all his might, but due to lack of proficiency, the ejection under his feet and the burst of his elbow were not coordinated one after another, leaving his second thrust stillborn.
Although Thrust wasn't very good at sliding, Bill's sliding was good, and he had already achieved a little success in a week, and even the teacher from Laurent's swordsmanship family was full of praise for Bill.
Combined with the sliding step, Bill can use continuous thrusts everywhere, but the speed is much worse than explosive thrusts.
After a week of practice, Bill was generally satisfied!
Left step, then retreat, swing sword retreat, the whole action is like flowing water.
This is Bill's self-created trick, retreat to pick up false moves, Bill's teacher commented that such a trick is good for escape, as long as Bill trains hard!
The clock in the room had reached the appointed time, and Bill was busy wiping the sweat stains on his body, and then ran downstairs like a gust of wind.
Gulagas was standing in the doorway waiting for Bill.
Gina's sister was receiving the barrel gentleman obediently, although Gina was very distressed when she gave him so many gold coins for no reason, but seeing Bill study so hard and take on the responsibility of the family again, Gina was satisfied, and did not do anything excessive to anger the barrel gentleman.
Glancing at his mission log, Bill greeted him with a smile.
Event Missions Performed:
【Barrel Master's Wish】
Difficulty: A
Introduction: The obsession with alcohol made Gulagas give up his personality, and it is said that the master of the barrel likes to smash people with the barrel the most, especially the moment the barrel bursts on the head!
Goal 2: Gulagas has found his favorite ingredient, a distilled ice from Freljord, which has been turned into a world of spirits ice by barrels. In order to fulfill his drunken dreams, he has decided to set off for the Far North and find the raw materials he likes, this time, Gulagas has come to say goodbye to you, please accept his gift, if you refuse, then he will think you are a hypocrite
The barrel is worthy of being the master of the barrel, he is an upright man, and as soon as Bill finished reading his mission log, Gulagas took out his parting gift.
It was a glass of wine with a white feather, which had been held in the palm of Gulagas's hand, and judging by his posture, Bill was absolutely sure that it was a very precious thing in the heart of the barrel.
Indeed, the barrel opened its mouth with a big grin.
"This is my own distilled spirit! I've been cherishing it for a long time, I'm leaving, let's have a good time again."
"Good!" In the eyes of the barrel master, wine is more wonderful than battle, and a treasure of wine is enough to prove his sincerity.
'Goo-goo~' Bill didn't say a word, and dried the glass in front of the barrel.
The next moment
The type of wine that the master of the barrel likes is extremely strong, and this is especially true of the wine he makes himself.
Bill's words of blessing were all lost as the glass of wine was poured down.
"Hiccup~ No" Bill's figure softened directly, and his head was a mess.
For Bill's bold toast, Gulagas was obviously very satisfied.
With a hard slap on Bill's shoulder, Gulagas happily shook his belly and left, he was about to set off for the cold ice field.
Gina gritted her teeth, she really wanted to go up and beat this fat man with a stick! It's so hateful!
'Hiccups are a little dizzy~'
"Brother Bill, I'll send you back to your room!" Rickety Bill, the whole person almost fell on Gina's shoulder.
"Grandpa Hani! Come and help me! ”
Hani, who was old and strong, also put down the ledger in his hand and ran over from the counter.
"No, just help me upstairs, I'm just a little dizzy"
"That's right, Gina! How's my hunting crossbow made? And the materials for making runes? ”
For the past two days, Bill has been practicing his sword at home, while Gina is in charge of these things.
"I went to see the flash light crossbow yesterday, and it should be done in a few days! We've already paid him for expediting work! But the materials for making the Book of Runecraft"
"Don't talk to me!"
"We don't have enough funds, we only have more than forty gold coins left, although these gold coins are enough for the daily life of ordinary people, but the needs of my brother are completely insufficient."
"Oh well!" Bill had indeed considered the lack of gold, but it was too difficult to scrape together gold to buy a rune book in a short period of time.
"How many gold coins are needed for those materials in the rune book?" Tapping on his forehead, Bill was worried, he had indeed become accustomed to spending heavily during this time, and he did not know the value of gold coins at all.
"Two thousand gold coins," Gina said timidly, stealing a glance at Bill, for fear that her brother would be angry.
Bill vomited blood, he really vomited blood, two thousand gold coins, what a joke!
"Ahem~Ahem~"
After a lot of coughing, Bill had to give up his plan to make a rune paperwork, and finally realized that Ryze and the cards were saying that he couldn't get that fortune together.
The quest has progressed, and in the questbar that Bill isn't paying attention to now:
