Outside the gate is a harsh battlefield that is freezing cold, and in the castle inside the gate, there is actually a warm palace banquet!

Long tables are filled with sumptuous delicacies, and young men and women dressed up in costumes dance together on the dance floor.

There are also people who neither eat nor dance, but hold a glass of wine in their hands, laugh and watch the impromptu sword contest on the spot, and even more so, they actually start a duel with each other for the opportunity to dance with a particularly beautiful lady.

An elegant old butler greeted him and said with perfect courtesy, "Miss Catherina, you are back again?" As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Li Xiaosen and Li Xingni.

Catherina exclaimed incredulously, "What is going on here, how can there be a banquet?"

She clearly remembered that when she left the White Rock Fort with her son in her arms, the fort was empty, simple and simple.

As a symbol of the Nordic professional circle, it is not that White Rock Castle will not hold banquets, but in any case, it will not be now, let alone this extremely luxurious atmosphere!

"It's an illusion. Li Xingni whispered, unconsciously taking two steps back.

All this in front of him is so beautiful that it can't be overstated, but Li Xingni has a chill from the heart.

She has been fighting with the ancestor Anya for so many years, and Anya also has a lot of weird soul methods, but such a realistic illusion, Li Xingni has never seen it in Anya.

This should be the original creation of the second warlord after absorbing the ability of the ancestor!

The past six years have been dark as hell for Daywalkers and humans around the globe, and golden years for Nightkin and especially for Bloodborne.

It is precisely because Anya shares some of the ancestral abilities that she will never share with her descendants in the past, so the second general, the Spade Lo, is born!

While Li Xingni instinctively retreated, Li Xiaosen's instinctive reaction actually wanted to retreat.

The illusion in front of me, in a sense, can almost be regarded as a field, the home of the second general!

Battlemages always choose the most efficient and secure way to defeat their opponents, and take the initiative to step into the opponent's realm, which is not bravery, but unnecessary recklessness.

But Li Xiaosen's eyes swept away, and the scene captured in the center of the most conspicuous dance floor of the banquet made him change his mind.

I saw a girl standing there dressed like a beautiful and delicate doll, with black hair and black eyes, a little baby fat face, and childish eyes, but with long legs and thin waist, young and beautiful.

Several personable teenagers gathered around the girl.

The girl held the hand of a beautiful boy with one hand, and the other hand was gently kissed by the back of the hand of another beautiful boy, and her slender waist was stopped by the third beautiful boy, and her swan-like neck turned slightly sideways, and the fourth beautiful boy behind her, who was almost close to the girl's back and hips, chuckled and whispered something.

In this meeting, if Li Xiaosen had changed to the stallion period when he had just become a super life, he would probably stop, enjoy it with interest, and even take the initiative to run over and join in.

But in the past six years, Li Xiaosen has never dared to slack off, and he is simply a representative of the abstinence department.

The most critical problem is that the girl's appearance is the appearance of her sister Li Xiaoqian!

The second general actually deliberately made the illusion that Li Xiaoqian was flirting with four or five beautiful teenagers at the banquet!

If Li Xiaosen was not very sure before, this was a game against himself, then now he is completely sure: the second general, knowing that he is coming, the illusion of the palace night banquet in front of him is coming at him.

Li Xiaosen closed his eyes, took a deep breath hard, and then slowly and little by little exhaled the breath.

The blood in his body was boiling, and it was almost about to turn into a murderous aura that erupted through his eyelids from Li Xiaosen's closed eyes.

Li Xiaosen forcibly suppressed the strong urge to kill, and when he reopened his eyes, his gaze had returned to an emotionless state of indifference.

As soon as the footsteps moved, the person had already entered the banquet scene.

Li Xingni hesitated for a moment and followed. Catherina knew in her heart that since she came, she couldn't run away, so she held her son in her left hand and her husband in her right hand, and followed her into the White Stone Castle.

The castle gate closed slowly behind him, making a dull grinding sound when it opened, but was eerily silent when it closed.

Li Xiaosen didn't say a word, didn't look at the illusion of his sister over there, and went straight to the deepest part of the banquet.

It was a little quieter here, and I saw Fiona, the first swordsman of the Nordic court, sitting quietly in a corner of the banquet hall, holding her cheek with one hand, looking at the lively banquet scene safely, with a somewhat weird smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Sister!" Catherina couldn't help but cried out, wanting to go up, but her footsteps lifted and she retracted.

She clearly remembered that when she left before, Fiona was wearing the traditional court swordsman's costume, but at this moment, Fiona was wearing a long dress that she would never wear.

Li Xiaosen walked up to Fiona and sat down, nodded and said, "Hello when we meet for the first time." ”

The Nordic front has fallen, and this is almost confirmed.

Under the shroud of penetrating pupil power, Li Xiaosen judged that the Fiona in front of him was the only real person in this realistic fantasy world.

"But should I call you Fiona, or the second general?"

Li Xiaosen stared into the other party's eyes and asked word by word.

If you're not mistaken, this should be the ancestral ability that Diana used six years ago: Soul Traveler.

The body in front of him is indeed Fiona's own body, but the soul and will that dominate this body is probably not Fiona herself.

Fiona should have been defeated by the second general.

The person who controls this body now is the soul that the Second War General inhabits it!

"Perverted ability ......" Li Xingni watched from the side, his whole body was faintly tense, and he gritted his teeth and muttered.

Six years ago, she didn't count Diana's "soul traveler" trick, which led to a complete loss.

Now I see the same ability, in the hands of the second general, and it is more delicate and terrifying than Diana! Li Xingni felt that his palms were wet and sticky, and his back was also sticky.

The strength of the second general should still not be as good as that of Spades, but this method is too weird and unpredictable, but it makes people even more fearful, and their scalps can't help but tingle for a while.

"It's good for you to meet for the first time. ”

"Fiona" smiled back to Li Xiaosen's words, "But you don't seem to be right in my eyes, do you think I'm not Fiona herself, but the second general?"

Li Xiaosen didn't answer, and said directly: "I came today for the palace swordsmanship." ”

"Fiona" flashed a different color in her eyes, and said with a smile: "If I told you the secret of the palace swordsmanship, would you believe that I am Fiona, and not possessed by the second general?"

Li Xiaosen made a gesture of please: "You speak first, listen to it, I will judge for myself." ”

Li Xingni and Catherina couldn't help but wonder: if she was really the second warrior and not Fiona, how could she possibly tell the mystery of court swordsmanship?

The banquet seems to be getting more and more lively.

The illusion of Li Xiaoqian, at this time, actually took the initiative to walk towards Li Xiaosen's side, under the backdrop of the ancient ceremony clothes, this illusion Li Xiaoqian's chest was half exposed, her eyes were blurred, and she had a fatal attraction to male creatures.

Li Xiaosen snorted, and a ripple like water waves suddenly emanated from his body.

The "Melting Soldier Refining Body" has carried out the most preliminary and superficial fusion of the transfer pool water, the heart realm ring, and Li Xiaosen himself, Li Xiaosen's heart moved, and the breath of the transfer pool water was emanated, and the entire banquet was covered with a faint and clean blue.

A painful expression appeared on Li Xiaoqian's face, as if she was in the blue water waves, extremely uncomfortable, and had a tendency to collapse.

This already has a bit of a "field-to-field" and "home-to-home" flavor!

Compared with the hard-hitting duel with the fist of Spade Luo outside the Antarctic General Hospital, the current contest between Li Xiaosen and the second general is not earth-shattering, but is carried out silently.

But in terms of the danger level, it's even worse now than when you face off against Spades!

Li Xiaosen had decided not to use the home stadium until he actually faced the ancestor Anya, but now he has to use a little.

With a home atmosphere, suppressing this glamorous and bewishing illusion, Li Xiaosen looked at the "Fiona" in front of him and asked again: "I'm here to teach the mystery of court swordsmanship." ”

"Fiona" showed surprise in her eyes, and then praised sincerely: "Amazing, worthy of the outcasts Li Xiaosen, to be honest, when I was still a human six years ago, I was still your fan sister." ”

After a pause at this, he said with a smile: "But if you come to ask me about the mystery of court swordsmanship, aren't you afraid that I will casually say some nonsense to deceive you?"

Catherina couldn't help but interject and shouted, "You bastard, get out of my sister's body quickly!"

"Fiona" ignored Catherina, only looked at Li Xiaosen, smiled, and nodded: "It's okay, since you asked sincerely, I'll tell you on the net." ”

Catherina shouted, "Shit, shit, you impostor, parasite! You know shit!"

But I heard "Fiona" say: "Court swordsmanship, in essence, is a predictive swordsmanship. ”

Catherina's voice was hoarse.

Li Xingni couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Catherina stared at "Fiona" and was speechless, because this sentence "palace swordsmanship is essentially predictive swordsmanship" is the most profound meaning of court swordsmanship, and it can't be made up randomly!

So is this person in front of him Fiona herself, or the second general?

Li Xiaosen listened carefully, only to listen to the other party continue: "Among the four major swordsmanship in the world, the Sanqing Sword is the sword of thunder, containing thunder righteousness, and has a great restraint effect on evil demons, and is the 'sword of attack for defense'; Tai Chi Sword originates from Chinese classical philosophy, and the sword is moved into a circle, which is the opposite of the Sanqing Sword, which is 'the sword of defense for attack';

——The above three swordsmanship have each opened up a different path, and when practiced to the extreme, they are all the strongest swords. But these three swordsmanship were born because their founders wanted to develop swords that could rival or even surpass court swordsmanship. Court swordsmanship, which can be said to be the earliest and strongest sword in the world, also gave birth to the three strongest swords that followed. ”

Li Xiaosen asked, "You just said that the palace swordsmanship is essentially the sword of prediction?"

In my impression, the biggest feature of court swordsmanship is to forcibly mark the weaknesses that do not exist on the opponent's body, and then strike at the flaws.

This process of "marking the flaw and then striking and breaking the flaw" is called in the inheritance of court swordsmanship: Wushuang Challenge.

Li Xiaosen has always believed that court swordsmanship is similar to his own challenge ability, so he rushed to Northern Europe to explore the mystery of court swordsmanship.

The "Fiona" in front of her said that the essence of court swordsmanship was not a matchless challenge, but a prediction.

Six years ago, Fiona foresaw the inevitability of the return of the First Ancestor, so she did not participate in any battles, but only accumulated strength, and at the moment of Anya's resurrection, she shot with all her strength and tried to kill Anya.

There is an obvious "prediction" attribute in this.

But what does the flaw in the mark have to do with the forecast?

Catherina stared at "Fiona", if the other party could still say the relationship between the mark flaw and the prediction, it would be incredible, who else in the world but Fiona could say such an opinion?

I saw that "Fiona" smiled and said slowly: "Marking flaws, in essence, is not out of nowhere, no flaws are no flaws, how can it be forcibly born? It is difficult to find flaws for a moment, but the flaws in the long river of time in the long future are a lot of grabbing.

——Marking a flaw is not essentially a birth, but a flaw that foresees the future. That's why I say that court swordsmanship is the sword of prediction. The sword is the eye, and the eye is the sword. ”

Hearing this, Catherina's face turned pale and she looked at "Fiona" like a ghost.

Li Xingni didn't know kendo, so he couldn't hear if "Fiona" was messing around, but he could guess it by looking at Catherina's reaction.

So the "Fiona" in front of me is the real Fiona, and at the same time the second general? Is the second general of the blood clan actually Fiona? But how is this possible, it is completely unreasonable! There must be something wrong?!

“...... The Sword of Prediction?"

Li Xiaosen muttered, chewing the other party's words carefully.

It turns out that this is the essence of court swordsmanship, swordsmanship is complex and changeable, but the essence of swordsmanship is simple and simple.

Li Xiaosen's own research on "Spirit Blade Warrior", although it is not pure swordsmanship, but like swordsmanship, it belongs to the category of "slashing" in a broader sense.

Li Xingni couldn't hear whether the other party was talking nonsense, but Li Xiaosen knew as soon as he heard it: the other party didn't lie, didn't break blindly, but every sentence was true, and what he said was indeed the essence and true meaning of palace swordsmanship.

"So palace swordsmanship, in essence, can even be regarded as a kind of pupil technique. Hitomi power goes first, and the sword follows. Foresee the flaws in the future, foresee the fragments of the future......" Li Xiaosen couldn't help but think to himself, "The palace swordsmanship, does it really have nothing to do with Lord Thoreau of our battle mage clan? So that 'Lodson' is Thoreau? Court swordsmanship, a legacy that Lord Thoreau left on Earth?"

The voice of "Fiona" pulled Li Xiaosen back from his thoughts: "Now, do you believe me? I am Fiona herself, not a second general." ”

Li Xiaosen nodded: "I believe what you said is indeed the mystery of palace swordsmanship. He shook his head and said, "But you're not Fiona." ”
