The next day, Zhou Zhou left the castle in the afternoon and came to the village where the mercenaries were camped.

The mercenaries had just gotten up, and most of the mercenaries had gone to the tavern to drink, and only four or five diligent Claude were already practicing their swords in the open space in the middle of the village.

Around the clearing, four or five little boys mimicked their movements with twigs.

Zhou Zhou tightened the long sword on his waist and walked towards them.

When the mercenaries saw Zhou Zhou, they immediately stopped what they were doing and began to coax.

"Hey, that Tatar is here again!"

"I guess I'm here to lose. He's been knocked down several times by me. ”

"Claude, you can go on today. Uncle, I'm a little tired today. “

"Hahaha, I saw it yesterday. You can't resist it. So you want me to go, right? ”

Claude is a tall mercenary and the most experienced with a sword.

While laughing with the other mercenaries, he greeted Zhou Zhou and smiled maliciously, "You have been really punctual lately. Come every day at this time. Come on. I just got up to work out and warmed up with me. “

As he spoke, Claude threw a wooden sword to Zhou Zhou and motioned for Zhou Zhou to step forward and attack him.

Claude turned sideways to face Zhou Zhou, put on a bull position, raised his sword high above his head, and aimed the tip of the sword at Zhou Zhou, like a bull's horn.

Zhou Zhou has learned some very basic sword moves in the past month, such as the next plate slash and the lower split. This is also a common routine used by ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, and after the last battle with the Mongols, there were a lot of feet left in the castle.

But this trick simply did not deal with the sophisticated Claude.

For example, Claude's bull position is rising, he stands sideways and feet back and forth. In this way, even if Zhou Zhou used the lower plate slash, the tall Claude could dodge as long as he gently raised his front foot, and the back foot could not be reached by the sword because of the distance. If you go too deep, you will expose your entire heart to the other party.

A month ago, Zhou Zhou may not have been able to cope with such a move, but after more than a month of study, Zhou Zhou has quickly reached the level of a seasoned veteran.

The mercenaries didn't actually teach Zhou Zhou anything, but Zhou Zhou relied on the memory enhanced by the nTZ pill and the ability to prophecy to obtain various defensive and offensive routines from the mercenaries.

Zhou Zhou usually constantly imagines the method of attack when he fights, and at the same time uses his prophetic ability to spy on the opponent's movements, so that one fight is equivalent to five or six fights. With the proficiency of Zhou Zhou's ability, the efficiency can be further improved.

After continuous speculation and learning, he soon reached the level of advanced novice.

The only thing he was worse than Claude yesterday was his strength, but after his karma improved last night and increased the strength of a seal, his strength was already far superior to Claude's.

Zhou Zhou put out the plough position and took up.

This type of starting hand gets its name from the fact that the blade of the sword is pointed to resemble the plough blade of a plough field. In this position, the hilt is placed below the waist with the blade facing upwards and the tip pointed directly in the direction of the opponent's face. The role of the plough position is to defend against attacks on the torso and allow the person to counterattack with a swift bottom-up thrust.

Zhou Zhou stabbed forward and stabbed the tall Claude in the throat, which happened to be the position where the opponent's starting hand was not easy to defend.

The tall Claude had no choice but to take a step back.

Zhou Zhou took the opportunity to press it, and with a twist of his wrist, the long sword slashed horizontally at Claude's back, which was another difficult place to defend.

Claude twisted his waist very awkwardly, and then felt an unexpected force hit his sword.

The sword in Claude's hand was buzzed and trembled, and his steps staggered back, and Zhou Zhou stepped forward and kicked the tall Claude who had lost his center of gravity to the ground.

"I won." Zhou Zhou stretched out his hand and said condescendingly.

"It's just a fluke." Claude slapped Zhou Zhou's hand away, stood up hard, and motioned for Zhou Zhou to fight again.

In the next few rounds, Zhou Zhou completely suppressed the tall Claude. The tall Claude fell three times and finally threw off his wooden sword, turned around and left in a huff.

The reason why Claude loves to compete with Zhou Zhou is entirely out of the pleasure of pursuing abuse of novices. Now that he can't beat Zhou Zhou, he naturally has no interest.

"Claude, didn't you say you were the best among us?"

"I usually know how to brag, but I was actually beaten down by a rookie."

"Why don't you go up?"

The mercenaries coaxed, but no one stepped forward, and when they saw that Zhou Zhou had defeated Claude, the most powerful among them, no one wanted to come forward to compete.

Zhou Zhou looked around, hoping to find a new opponent. The mercenaries pretended not to see and practiced on their own.

Zhou Zhou had to practice by himself, and after practicing for a while, he felt that he couldn't practice anything, so he had to stop, take out a compass from his pocket, and get up.

He first thought to himself, "Where is William?" "The compass points to the east.

Keep thinking, "Where's Laura?" "The compass points to the east.

Continue: "Where is the Lord God?" "Still pointing to the east.

"Where's the rookie draft?" Still pointing to the east.

It seems that the result is the same as last time, pointing to the east.

As with the results of previous tests, the compass will only point to what the user wants most, not what he thinks at the time.

What am I thinking?

Could it really be who is the most beautiful woman in the world?

Zhou Zhou remembered Laura's joke.

Compass, compass, tell me who the most beautiful woman in the world is.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Zhou Zhou heard the neighing of horses coming from the entrance of the village, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves was getting closer and closer.

The mercenaries stopped what they were doing and looked at the people who were coming right away.

Zhou Zhou recognized it as Victor's liaison officer.

The liaison officer dismounted and said to the mercenaries, "Lord Lord and Captain Marcus want you to gather at the castle. Bring all your weapons with you. Food will be prepared in the castle. ”

The mercenaries immediately returned to their temporary dwellings, packed up some weapons, and rode their horses in the direction of the castle.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Inside the castle hall.

When Zhou Zhou entered, Marcus was already waiting there in full gear. The mercenaries and Victor's knights were divided into two distinct groups, each talking.

Victor stood in the middle and beckoned to Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou was confused, and he walked quickly in front of Victor.

Victor took out a sword from the servant's hand, laid the sword flat, pressed it on Zhou Zhou's right shoulder, and said, "Kneel." ”

―――――― won't you want to canonize me as a knight! It's completely useless for me to take this knight.

However, in order to blend in with Victor's decision-making layer and help complete the task, Zhou Zhou fell to the ground on one knee.

Victor solemnly said: "Fearless of strong enemies, brave and resolute, outspoken, and loyal to God." My Duke Victor Nano Dilution canonizes you as a knight. ”

Zhou Zhou bowed his head and had a humble expression, looking almost like a medieval native.

――――――――Fortunately, I used to watch movies like Heavenly Dynasty a lot.

Victor continued: "Zhou Zhou, now you are a knight, you follow me. Get up. ”

Zhou Zhou held his knees, slowly stood up, and walked to Victor's side, only then did Zhou Zhou notice that the knight who often followed Victor was gone. Looking at the sympathetic eyes of the mercenaries and the knights, it suddenly dawned on me that this was not a good errand, and the knight was probably sent to the Black Castle because of leprosy.

It turns out that Victor's personal guards are simply consumables.

Victor cleared his throat and said loudly, "Our sentry has detected a small army of Tatars carrying the captives to the Black Castle. This has never been done before. The Tatars rarely kept prisoners, and these captives must have been important. So tonight we're going to rob them. ”
