Chapter 13: The Way to Break the Sword
"Luo Ming, since you choose to use the sword as a weapon, then naturally you must also master the method of dealing with the sword.
Your second master's sword path is unparalleled in the world, even I am half a mountain as high as her, and I can break through all the swords in the world with one sword, so I don't worry about this problem at all, but she can't teach you.
Even if you are extremely talented, and if you are lucky, it will take you five years to reach my level, let alone your second master's level. ”
Speaking of the second master's sword, the master's face also showed awe and pride.
Immediately, he changed his words: "But if she doesn't have murderous intentions, she can't easily hurt me, she has been cut down by her for so many years, and your master has already practiced a set of stunts to break the sword with empty hands-
Except for your second master's sword breaking the sword and being matchless, my set is the second in the world!"
==================================================
Luo Ming's face showed a hint of pride, not complacent, but trust and pride in his master.
His body leaned forward suddenly, and his left hand rested on his sword.
It wasn't flesh and blood that blocked the sharp blade, but the muscles of five fingers and even one of the palms of the hand tensed, like a vice, pinching the non-lethal spine of the sword.
The blade of the sword was only a gap from the palm of his hand, and the sword could cut blood as long as it shook a little harder, but Luo Ming did not leave this opportunity for the other party at all.
Don't look at this grasp seems simple, if you don't grasp it correctly, you will cut off your fingers or even half of your palm, and if you don't have enough strength or wrong posture, you can't clamp the sword body to death.
Of course, after all, the other party is holding the hilt of the sword, which is easier to exert force than pinching the sword body, and if you really want to rely on this move to deal with the swordsman, you must be much stronger yourself, and you can bully the small with the big.
Naturally, there was no such condition now, but Luo Ming didn't plan to fight hard, he only briefly clamped the sword body, and his other hand quickly raised and brushed it on Granty's fingers holding the sword.
"Ahh
If Luo Ming was an enemy, it would be easy to hurt her hand and let the sword get out of her hand.
Although she has always retained some strength herself, Luo Ming grabbed her flaws without using a sword, and she was also far from being able to go all out, which showed that he was by no means a mediocre hand.
"You can break my coherence with your bare hands, you must have a deep understanding of swordsmanship, I really want to try it with your sword......"
As he spoke, Granty retracted the long sword from its scabbard, revealing a look of regret: "But the real sword competition is easy to fight for anger, and if you are not careful, you will be injured."
You shouldn't be able to kill you, but even a small injury will affect the mission. Alas, it would be nice if it was a swordsman. ”
This is true, swords are generally not as sharp as knives, but with a little force, swinging at will, you can also cut through the skin and flesh on the surface, and if you use more force, you will not only open the flesh, but may even hurt the muscles and bones.
The swordsman can briefly cover his whole body with his fighting energy, and ordinary arrows and slashes can't break through the defense at all, but the two of them can't do it now.
"Even if you don't do your best, you can finally embody a part, right?" Luo Ming didn't bother anymore, and immediately got to the point he longed for.
In fact, Grandi didn't like to go around and around, so she immediately replied: "You can fight with intermediate swordsmen empty-handed, of course there is no problem with your strength." ”
Was that what Grant had just known about a mid-level swordsman? It was a little stronger than the bodyguard who killed the young master before, but the strength was also limited. Once again, Luo Ming recognized the fact that he had transcended this level.
"It's just that someone was suddenly added halfway, and I don't know if the employer will accept it...... If I vouch for it, the credibility should not be a problem, and the strength is sufficient, and he doesn't seem to care about a little money for this task, so I think it should be fine. ”
Although he was not quite sure in his tone, Luo Ming felt that it was quite safe to have these conditions, but Grant himself refused to boast that it was absolutely fine.
She's a person who takes promises very seriously, but it's not bad, and Luo Ming himself likes the style of "not making promises" and "making promises". If you don't promise, you just have to do a good job.
The two returned to the inn, and Luo Ming ordered some more meat to eat, and went to the local mercenary guild under the leadership of Granty.
Mercenaries, also known as mercenaries, were originally created because professional soldiers were too expensive.
In the case of underdeveloped productive forces, the petty aristocracy could hardly afford much of the training and daily maintenance of professional soldiers - they had to be paid every day, and they did not work except for war.
In this case, it is better to spend money on hiring some professional soldiers at critical moments. No matter how much money you spend, it's just a one-time thing.
And in the case of thieves or something, a militia is conscripted, led by two or three professional soldiers, and it doesn't cost much at all.
Hundreds of years ago, when the world was chaotic, almost every minor lord fought with his neighbors, and most of the mercenaries were still tasked with participating in wars.
But in this century, the order of the continent has been relatively stable, and the kings of various countries are trying to strengthen the royal power and enforce the law, at least the number of civil wars between domestic nobles has decreased a lot, and a few wars between countries have also been sent out by professional soldiers supported by the state, and it is impossible to feed so many mercenaries as before.
It can be said that mercenaries have gradually moved into the semi-civilian realm, and petty nobles, businessmen, and even wealthy civilians can hire some mercenaries to do some tasks.
This led to the prevalence and authority of mercenary guilds, which were both intermediary and notarized, and had at least one office in most cities.
There are a lot of mercenaries here in Bijin City, and there is a small two-story building that serves as the stronghold of the guild branch.
There is no ornate decoration, but it can accommodate forty or fifty people without crowding, which shows that it should not be underestimated.
When the old mercenary saw Granty, he withdrew his gaze and let her in with the stranger Luo Ming, without asking a word.
The first is to register the official identity of a mercenary, although Luo Ming is naturally a black household in this world, but the household registration system in this world is not strict, and mercenaries who are people from all over the world are not counted.
This time, even if he is on a mercenary account, he is holding a black wooden badge with his name and a number engraved on the back, which is the identity certificate of the black iron mercenary.
Of course, even with Granty's guarantee, some procedures could not be waived, and Luo Ming just skipped the initial apprenticeship period - at this stage, rookie mercenaries could only take on a small task of teaming up to drive away wolves or goblins.
Even so, Luo Ming only became the lowest black iron mercenary...... Although this quest can also be participated in by the Black Iron level, the reward is very low compared to Granty.
