Chapter 36: The New Year

After lunch, the trainees waited in the training ground full of energy.

What will happen next will be an exciting time - the award of knight badges, the knightly badge of the Knights of Light does not represent any family, but will distinguish the rank of knights, as well as represent the glory of the Knights of Light, looking at the Star Source Empire, which is also the dream of many children since childhood, to become a great knight, to fight against monsters, and to be a brave man who guards their homeland.

Half a year ago, Loren had thought the same thing.

Until that night, his mother's blood stained this dream red, and Lorain's dream was shattered in an instant, and he saw the most hideous side of the Knights, and also saw the complete evil of this world.

......

"Loraine?"

Instructor Haimu stepped forward with a silver Great Knight badge in his hand, and a sentence woke up Luo Lan in contemplation, frowned, and said: "Don't get distracted, this is your badge, may you fight for the Knights of Light and the Temple of Goddesses for the rest of your life, and may you be loyal to mankind for the rest of your life, and guard the sky gate that belongs to our Origin World!"

"I ......"

Luo Lan Mu Ne stretched out his hand to catch the rather heavy badge, his heart was mixed, the Knights of Light had a great hatred for him to kill his blood relatives, and also had a deep hatred for slaughtering the entire village, but after entering the blood cage, Haimu, Mikaela and other instructors treated him sincerely, hoping that he would grow into a powerful knight, so between the two, Luo Lan couldn't help but hesitate.

Perhaps, the real enemy is only Gray, Tuka and other hunting knights, right?

Otherwise, the Scarlet Castle and the Knights of Light who indulged them are also inseparable, at least in the depths of Luo Lan's heart, he has always thought so, all sins have their origins, and this deep hatred is buried in the deepest part of Luo Lan's heart, and gradually takes root, making him strong and making him more unhesitating to challenge his limits.

Without this courage to fight against his own body, it would be impossible for Loren to far surpass a genius like Rodney in physical body cultivation.

On the side, Caroline and Avril both got a silver Grand Knight badge, but the color of the badge was more intense, different from Lorain's Junior Grand Knight badge, while Rodney got a pale red Earth Knight badge, which was slightly lighter than the badge worn on the chest of the Haimu instructor, but it still made all the students cast envious eyes.

Many students wore the badge on their chests on the spot, their faces were full of joy, Class 7 produced a knight on this day, five big knights, in addition to basically knights and a few trainee knights, just with this identity, in some small towns of the empire is basically a figure with a head and a face, of course, every student in the blood-colored cage understands that since he has entered the blood-colored cage, the future road is not only a trainee knight, The knights are so simple, their goal should be the supreme knight of light.

Lorain silently put the badge into the pocket of her clothes, and on the side, Avril also silently put the badge into her pocket.

The two of them are the same, Avril was forcibly taken to the Scarlet Cage because of his father's will, while Loren was sent to the Scarlet Cage as a trial slave, struggling on the edge of life and death to become a real Scarlet Cage Cadet, they don't have much affection for the Knights of Light, but more hatred hidden deep in their hearts.

"Alright. ”

Instructor Haimu said in a deep voice: "This is just your first step, the ladder of the Knights of Light is ahead, waiting for you to climb higher peaks, so don't be complacent, don't be discouraged, keep working hard, you can become better people." ”

"Yes, Instructor!"

"In the morning, Mikaela will lead everyone to cultivate the power of the Elemental Law, Rodney, you come with me, from today onwards I will teach you the Light Knight's Light Stone Skin Secret Technique!"

"Yes, Instructor Haimu!"

Rodney looked ecstatic, the Bright Stone Skin is the peerless learning of the Bright Knights, and only by becoming a member of the Bright Knights can he be qualified to learn, so although Rodney is the leader of the younger generation in the family, no one in the family dares to teach him the Bright Stone Skin, after all, it violates the rules of the Bright Sect and will be severely punished, and the punishment of the Bright Sect, no one in the entire Star Source Empire will not be afraid.

When Rodney turned away, a group of students cast envious eyes, and before they knew it, Rodney had already left everyone far away in cultivation.

The same goes for Loraine.

......

In the afternoon, at three o'clock.

Rodney came back, his face excited, and sweating profusely, obviously the cultivation of the Bright Stone Skin made him very immersed in it.

Instructor Haimu raised his heavy sword and walked forward again, his eyes swept over the bodies of a group of students one by one, and finally stopped on Luo Lan's body, and said, "Luo Lan, you come with me." ”

"Yes, Instructor!"

Loran walked over with his sword, and Instructor Haimu led him into a compartment on the outskirts of the castle with a twist of face, the sunlight shining through the windows.

"Loraine. ”

Haimu groaned and said, "Your strength and elemental comprehension are already quite good, so, following Lord Catherine's orders, I will teach you my unique sword move, Whirlwind Slash, from today onwards!"

"Whirlwind Slash?"

"That's right, Whirlwind Slash. Haimu looked at him meaningfully and said: "A sword move with the same origin as the storm slash, however, the mystery of the storm slash is the instantaneous explosion of the power of the wind element, the pursuit of the ultimate in power, overwhelming the opponent with absolute elemental power, but the whirlwind slash is different, it is a sword move that combines elemental power, speed, and attack, once launched, it can often have the effect of defeating the strong with the weak." ”

He paused and smiled slightly: "Your star vein has not awakened, so if you fight for elemental power, I'm afraid you will never be able to fight a genius student like Rodney, but if you learn Whirlwind Slash, it is possible to fight fast and slow, and defeat strong with weak, and exert elemental power and speed to the extreme, producing unexpected attack effects." ”

"Really?"

Luo Lan's eyes widened, and there was a faint expectation in her eyes.

"You take a look first. ”

Haimu took a few steps back, groaned softly, and suddenly swept out wisps of wind blade qi all over his body, and the wind blade continued to sweep around the heavy sword, making this broadsword weighing at least more than a hundred kilograms swing with a light feeling, and the blade was wrapped in a gale wind that swept the surrounding space, bursting out with a "boom" The sound of cutting through the air, all of a sudden, Haimu swirled, and the heavy sword continued to slash out with a clear trajectory, launching a series of attacks at a certain angle in the air, breaking the wind again and again, and the power of one slash was stronger than one slash, and finally the sword even split the space a little distorted.

"Ah......h

Luo Lan felt the power contained in these seemingly understated swords, and even fine sweat had oozed from his forehead, and with a "sizzle", the whirlwind slashed out a wave of qi swept overhead, flying up with a few of his broken hairs, obviously the star source power and wind element power used by Haimu were very weak, but the power was so amazingly strong.

However, Luo Lan can't see through the mystery.

"You try. ”

Haimu smiled slightly and said, "Penetrate the power of the wind element into the blade, and then continue to increase your slashing speed, when the speed reaches the extreme, you can naturally see the mystery." ”

"Speed?" asked Loraine, surprised.

"That's right, speed. ”

Haimu smiled: "The fastest speed is enough to destroy everything, Luo Lan, your strength is enough, but the speed is too slow, so you can't see the natural rhythm of the wind at the moment when the sword blade is slashed, and if you can't find a flaw in the space, you naturally can't smash everything." ”

"Flaws in Space Power......

Luo Lan suddenly trembled and said, "Instructor Haimu, what do you mean...... The real mystery of the whirlwind slash is actually the softness of the laws of the wind system and the laws of space, right?"

"Hahahahaha~~~~"

Haimu couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and reached out to rub Luo Lan's short hair, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, you are far smarter than I expected, I thought that you would not be able to comprehend the hidden mystery of the whirlwind slash until three days later, but I didn't expect you to realize the essence of it at the first time, so next, you can practice splitting the sword until you feel the connection between wind and space." ”

"Yes, Instructor!"

Luo Lan was quite excited, this time, what he wanted to learn was not the common combat skills in the Scarlet Castle, but the unique sword moves of Instructor Haimu, which would also be what distinguished him from other students in the future.

......

So, the boy waved the blade of the sword, and stayed in the compartment alone to practice his sword splitting speed, until his arm was sore, then he stopped for a while, drank some water, and then continued to practice, and just practiced until the evening, still did not realize the existence of the law of space, so he continued to practice by the light of the star.

"Loraine~~~"

Under the street lamp, a girl in a long skirt walked up, it was Avril, and smiled: "Why are you here?"

"Uh......"

Luo Lan pursed her lips: "I'm practicing swords." ”

"Don't practice, it's okay to lose one day. Avril put her hands behind her back and smiled, "Lorraine, you close your eyes, I'll give you a good taste." ”

"Oh, what?"

"You close your eyes. ”

"Oh, okay......"

Lorain closed her eyes, but she was a little apprehensive in her heart, until she smelled a faint fragrance in her nose, and Avril smiled: "Open your mouth, taste whether it is delicious." ”

“......”

Luo Lan opened his mouth, and suddenly Avril sent a piece of sweet pastry into his mouth, it was the smell of fragrant cakes, the tradition on the Star Source Continent, this kind of thing can only be eaten once a year, that is the New Year, in an instant, Luo Lan opened his eyes, his heart was about to melt, and his mouth was full of the smell of fragrant cakes, and every year, his mother would always make such a sweet pastry for himself, but this year, everything has been broken, Luo Lan would never have thought that he would taste the taste of fragrant cakes again in such a way.

"There is still an hour to go until the New Year. ”

Avril pouted and said, "Every year, I spend the New Year in Alan City, but this year it is in this cold place, fortunately, there are still you, by the way, the students in the class are all gathering in the hall, do you want to come with me and get together with everyone more?"

"I ...... I'm not going......"

In Loraine's mind, her mother's smile lingered, and at this moment there was a feeling of ten thousand arrows piercing her heart, looking at Avril's pretty face, she couldn't help but have a sour nose and tears rolling down.

"Loraine, you ......"

Avril panicked, hurriedly opened her hand and hugged him, gently rubbed his hair, and said, "It's okay, it's all over, we must be strong, it's all over......"

Loren hadn't cried for a long time, and after his mother died, he didn't even dare to cry, and he wasn't qualified to cry, but at this moment, in Avril's arms, he found a trace of warmth that he hadn't seen for a long time, although the time was short, but it was enough to comfort, wiped his tears, and said, "Thank you, Avril, I'...... Thank you so much......"

"It's okay. ”

Avril smiled slightly, leaned into Loraine's ear and whispered, "We came to the Scarlet Castle together, so ...... We're going to get stronger together, we're going to get out of this hellish place together, and in the future, we'll wander the world and be two rangers, two thieves, or two hunters, it's all as we want, right?"

"Yes, yes!"

Luo Lan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's ...... together Get out alive!"

"Well, get out alive!"
