Chapter 10: The Sword Pavilion
In the Torch Tavern, west of the city of Coste, in the civilian area, there is a bustling sound everywhere.
The smell of inferior tobacco and alcohol, the smell of sweat without taking a bath for several days or even ten days, as the most lively tavern in the civilian area, it is full of all kinds of gangsters, gangsters, low-level laborers, drunkards, gamblers, prostitutes......
"Did you hear that?Feiyang Knight Academy is going to recruit students again, I'm going to try it. ”
"Haha, it's up to you, I remember that you practiced all the basic skills for five years before you reached the full level. ”
"Did you hear that? The United Nations of Yoranlith to the north has spotted the traces of demons. ”
"Hmph, are those blasphemers doing it again?"
One by one, Fang Xingjian kept hearing the news into his ears, this was the third day he had come to Koster, and in the past three days, he had basically inquired about a general situation of the entire city.
As one of the largest cities on the west coast of the Sinkoda Empire, Koster was a vast port for maritime trade and one of the political and economic centers of the West Coast.
Here, black-haired and black-eyed people like him can often be seen, because it is said that on the other side of the sea, on the far western continent, there are people like him everywhere.
However, Fang Xingjian knew that although the appearance was similar, the other party was not an Asian on the earth.
As a political and economic center, and shouldering the responsibility of a trading port, the whole city of Koster is very prosperous. Here, of course, there are many organizations that provide people with learning and upgrading.
As a world accustomed to upgrades, skills, expertise, and attributes, even the elderly and children in this world have physical fitness far beyond that of earthlings, and even learn martial arts more or less.
Here, it is a matter of course to level up and become stronger, and everyone wants to be able to change their lives through power.
In Koster, not to mention ordinary warrior schools, martial arts colleges, dojos, dojos and the like, the seven most famous places in the entire city that provide martial arts learning are collectively known as the Pearl Seven Courtyards.
The so-called pearl refers to Coste, the pearl of the west coast of the empire.
Then, according to Fang Xingjian's inquiry, there are two famous swordsmanship and sword skills in the Seven Courtyards of the Pearl Pearl, namely the Sword Pavilion and the Theresia Knight Academy.
Among them, Dave Theresia, the founder of the Teresia Knight Academy, was a god-level powerhouse who reached level 30 more than a hundred years ago, and has cultivated batches of famous powerhouses, famous generals, and masters over the years. Although the Teresian Knight Academy has weakened over the years, it can definitely rank in the top three in the Seven Academies of Pearl.
As for the Sword Pavilion, it's a lot worse.
First of all, the Sword Pavilion in Koster City is just a branch library, and the real main hall of the Sword Pavilion is located in Deha, the capital of the Empire, which was once a super university in the entire Empire.
However, the Sword Pavilion in Koster City was seriously injured because the previous pavilion owner lost the competition, and the current pavilion owner is too young and lacks strength, so it has been declining over the years, and it has been ranked at the bottom of the Seven Courtyards of the Pearl Pavilion, and it is even considered to be insufficient to compete with the other six courtyards.
However, it was very strange that it had been three days since Fang Xingjian came to Koster City, but he had never heard of the magic pattern.
It seems that there has never been a magic pattern transfer on this continent. In this world, there are still methods of job transfer that have been passed down since ancient times, and all the secret methods of job transfer are monopolized by major organizations and royal families.
Moreover, their understanding of wizards is also very shallow, and even most civilians do not understand the power of wizards, and this kind of information understanding is even inferior to many cultivators in the Demon Capital.
'The wizards themselves blocked the news?' Fang Xingjian said secretly in his heart, "Or is it true that this kind of thing is really researched by the earthlings themselves, as the government said?"
Fang Xingjian couldn't think of a reason, so he could only continue to listen to all kinds of gossip around him.
"Hey, have you heard? The Dark Witch King has taken in another disciple. ”
"Oh, I don't know who was so unlucky to be studied by those blasphemers. ”
Hearing this, Fang Xingjian's expression froze slightly.
"The Witch King...... Onassis ...... "Fang Xingjian's fist was slightly white, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.
Every second, every word, every word in those seven days was clearly remembered by him.
One of the six major countries in the continent, Yolanlis, that is a country ruled by wizards, and the three strongest of all wizards, and the only three wizards who have reached the level 30 god level, are called witch kings.
Among them, the Dark Witch King is the one who is most interested in the earth among the three Witch Kings and supports the alliance and communication between the two parties.
Earth...... Magic City ...... Magic Pattern ...... Onassis Family...... King...... Everything seems to be connected.
Fang Xingjian instinctively felt that there was some secret hidden in it, but he also knew that now was not the time to care about these, learning sword skills and becoming stronger, this was the most important thing for him at the moment.
'Then it's the Sword Pavilion......
Compared with the Teresian Knight Academy, which cultivates nobles and retainers, in addition to martial arts, they also need to learn various etiquette, theology, language, military, administrative and other skills, and also need a variety of recommenders, qualifications, and backgrounds.
In particular, legend has it that the sword hall has collected a lot of sword skills that have been passed down from generation to generation, and it is even more favored by Fang Xingjian.
So the next morning, Fang Xingjian came to the door of the Sword Pavilion, which was located on the street in the east of the city.
With deserted streets, rusty iron gates, and not even a gatehouse, it seems that the Sword Pavilion is indeed a lot more depressed now.
Fang Xingjian tried to push the door, but found that the iron door was not locked at all, he walked in directly, turned a bay, and could see that on the martial arts factory, more than a dozen academies were practicing sword moves with the long swords they were practicing, comparing kung fu.
A young man in a gray practice uniform was walking on the practice ground while instructing the students to practice swordsmanship, the young man had blonde hair and closed his eyes, looking a little malnourished and emaciated, the practice clothes were almost washed white, and there were several patches sewn, the whole person looked poor and despairing, only a slight exudation of heroism seemed to be different from ordinary people.
Seeing Fang Xingjian's appearance, the young man's face showed a kind and expectant smile, even if Fang Xingjian looked like a penniless homeless man now, there was not the slightest impatience in his eyes.
"Hello, I'm Kyle, the owner of the Sword Pavilion. Do you want to come here to learn swordsmanship? We say that the Sword Hall has a history of 150 years, but it is the first holy place to learn swordsmanship in the mainland.
I see that you have slender fingers and powerful limbs, and you are definitely a good seedling for practicing swords, how about you want to practice swords with us, as long as you practice swords in the sword hall, we will assign a change of career, as long as you pay the tuition, all swordsmanship will be taught and ......"
Fang Xingjian's face was slightly stunned, it seemed that the situation in the Sword Pavilion was even worse than the rumors.
He interrupted the other party and said directly, "I'm here to learn swordsmanship." ”
"Oh?" Kyle laughed, "Okay, fine, but you have to pay the tuition first, half a year, a total of thirty copper coins." ”
Thirty copper coins, the money Fang Xingjian earned on the road was about one hundred copper coins in total, and this tuition fee was really not expensive. He nodded and handed the money to the youth.
Kyle happily accepted the money, a relaxed smile on his face.
"Okay, come, I'll teach you the basic swordsmanship of the Sword Pavilion first, the grizzly swordsmanship. With that, Kyle picked up the wooden sword on one side and began to practice.
