The next morning, Rodin woke up from the humble bunk on which he had been lying for two months, and immediately groped for his body. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, I don't feel it at all. Although the scene of sweating and practicing until he almost fainted was still vivid in his mind, his energetic, untired body reminded him that it was a dream.

"I'm not that persistent. “

He laughed at himself and started another day's work.

The old grandfather clock in the hall pointed to five o'clock, and the guests and prostitutes were still asleep.

The kitchen is already busy.

However, the space of about ten square meters is full of various kitchen utensils and ingredients, most of which have just arrived not long ago, and they are fresh and have an earthy smell.

Four or five servants, under the command of a fat cook, roamed around, and Rodin was one of them, the town was not big, but the food was quite abundant.

From cheap beef stew with potatoes, salad and vegetables, brown bread, to slightly more expensive blueberry cod, rosin roast chicken, high-end roast suckling pig, foie gras truffle, none of which have anything to do with them.

As a small boy, they can only watch, do, not eat, even if there is a surplus throughout the day, there is a special person to deal with it, they usually eat potato stew, with some bread and wild vegetables.

Hands and feet quickly delivered kitchen utensils, cleaning, another two hours, one after another guests woke up, breakfast was ready.

Occasionally, Rodin would be stunned for a moment.

was holding a pot of vegetables, and suddenly there was a burst of aroma next to him.

"Rodin, I see you in a daze again. The proprietress Melissa walked over with a smile and waved her white and slender chive-like fingers at Rodin, who was wandering in the world.

"Ah, I'm sorry, big sister, I promise not next time. ”

Seeing his somewhat hurried embarrassment, Melissa couldn't help but wonder,

"I really don't understand what you have in your head, you always like to be in a daze, why don't you learn from Lincoln and Willis.

It's really energetic.,You can find a mushroom girl.,For your own people.,The girls have a discount.。 “

"Especially a young man with fine skin and tender meat like you, sister, I am also very moved to watch. “

Well, in my previous life, I was at most delicate in my facial features, and after crossing, my facial features seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, becoming handsome and kind.

I really can't describe the feeling in my heart, why does this mature and beautiful proprietress always come to tease herself, in case she can't hold it one day.

After thinking about it for a while, the hall began to be lively.

The familiar rough voice of "a glass of Wenza stout" suddenly opened Rodin's memories.

Sitting at the wine table in front of him was the man with two swords who appeared in a dream, Leviathan.

He is not in a very good state at the moment, there are several more cracks in his armor, and his body is dirty, but his snow-white beard is still eye-catching, and his eyes are still as sharp as an eagle's falcon.

"Was last night's training real?" Rodin felt a rush of restlessness erupt from his heart, and the joyful swing made him both yearn and fear.

"Is it because the overtraining has affected the spirit? No, I've obviously given you a massage to soothe your muscles and bones, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal. “

Leviathan grinned with interest.

Rodin felt a chill in his heart.

"You gave me a massage?"

"Yes, your boy's skeleton is really brittle, and it makes a slight noise as if it is about to break. “

"What kind of expression do you have, as if you have been insulted by something. If I don't give you a few clicks, and practice like you did last night, the person will not be wasted. “

"Another glass of cherry wine is considered today's tuition. ”

Dark beer and cherry wine, and 7 Magneti Marelli, if you go on like this, you can't make ends meet, and you can't last long.

Rodin was in a mixed mood, and with some pain, he watched Leviathan drink the wine in his glass, and kept counting the remaining days.

"If I drink like this, at most a month, my savings will be squandered by him"

"The flesh hurts, you want my guidance, if you can't even get this money, you might as well give up. “

"Whew-"

"It's comfortable, I really want to drink like this for a day. Alas, why is there always something to do every day, and my head hurts.

"It's not a good thing for people to be too brave. “

"With great power comes great responsibility. Rodin suddenly complained.

"This sentence, well, quite tasteful, I like it, haha!"

With a hearty smile, Leviathan strode away.

Rodin was lost in thought, and he had to find a way to make extra money.

In the past two months, he has spent most of his time in Melissa's Tavern, where he has been dealing with rude customers and prostitutes, but has no dealings with the town's merchants and blacksmiths. It won't be easy to get a part-time job from them.

On the other hand, the 5-to-9 work in the tavern only has an hour's break in the middle of the day, and after nightfall you continue to train with the Leviathan until about one o'clock.

Rest time is still insufficient, how to squeeze water out of this shriveled sponge?

I thought about it for a long time to no avail.

Time has never been so rushed.

Work training, Leviathan's wine glass, the days go by.

There is still no clue about part-time work, high-intensity exercise, or after being tired and dying, the wonderful massage effect of Leviathan, Rodin's weak body that never ate fat in his previous life actually gradually gained some muscles.

During the training, I encountered a few night patrol teams in Hidden Town, and Leviathan just went up to negotiate with them, and the other party let them go.

The training in swordsmanship was impressive, according to Leviathan

"Now your bayonet sword has been counted in the door and can be used in battle, and you can defeat an unarmed strong man with a sword, haha. “

In addition to stabbing and slashing, Leviathan slightly mentioned other sword moves, but warned Rodin to stop.

"It's enough to master the basic sword style, too many tricks will distract you, you just need to keep dodging, find the right opportunity, and strike a fatal blow"

One trick is fresh, eat all over the world.

Rodin did not doubt him, and honed these swords vigorously.

His current strength is not even comparable to the average strong man in this world, let alone an experienced mercenary, and it is impractical to fight hard, so it is important to be flexible. In view of this, in addition to the 800 bayonets a day, there is another sparring practice.

In the first few days, Leviathan held a wooden sword in his left hand, strolling leisurely, lightly swordsman, Rodin couldn't react at all, and he was hit four or five times, and he had no power to parry.

At that time, the unprecedented feeling of powerlessness made Rodin unable to bear a kind of outright disappointment.

"I practiced hard every day, and I was as small as an ant in front of him. ”

"I'm still a little unwilling. ”

Leviathan advised, "Don't be too sad, after all, the time to practice the sword is still short, and in my opinion, your progress is still remarkable." ”

"And it's better to be abused by me now than to die in the middle of a battle in the future. ”

"In addition, you must understand that experience and proficiency are not the same as swordsmanship, and the thinking between swords should not be ignored. Every decision you make, the angle and strength of the next sword, the analysis of the situation, the distribution of physical strength, and the grasp of timing are all in it. “

He pointed to his head and said in a tone full of demagogy: "Let your brain, move, use your brain to influence the battle"

The duel of swordsmanship is equivalent to another level of intellectual game, just like the athletes in the previous life, their victory does not only rely on excellent skills, flexible minds, accurate decision-making is also a magic weapon for victory.

"But all this is useless in the face of absolute power. “

Saying this in his heart, Rodin still began to take the initiative to try to think in the battle.

"It's not enough to be fragile. “

Again and again, he hesitated and hit in jerky, and in real battles, he had died no less than a thousand times.

In half a month, the situation of training with Leviathan has finally improved somewhat, Rodin's steady pace and flexibility have been greatly improved, and he can occasionally successfully dodge, and even blessedly predict it in his heart to parry an attack from Leviathan.

A month later, Rodin successfully counterattacked Leviathan in between his sword, a stabbing sword that stabbed his opponent in the chest like a divine help.

Leviathan touched his chest, his eyes tinged with relief.

"It's just the gap between the armor pieces, the weak point of the defense, well done!"

After a month of hard training, there was finally some results.

Although he knew that Leviathan and he were less than 12/10th stronger, Rodin still regained a lot of confidence.

And the inhuman torture in the past month has not only left painful memories, but also left more than a dozen scars of different shades on his originally smooth body.

These are his man's medals.

"Goodbye blood, you're almost ready to become a rookie swordsman. Leviathan's tone was filled with a faint melancholy, as if he remembered something.

"Whew" Rodin took a deep breath, calmed his restless qi and blood, put down the wooden sword in his hand, bowed solemnly to Leviathan, and said sincerely:

"Thank you for your selfless teaching these days, thank you. ”

Leviathan waved his hand widely, "It's been a long time since I've met a hardworking kid like you. Most of the current swordsmen and mercenaries are drunk and dreaming of death, and they don't want to make progress. ”

"Besides, I didn't teach you in vain, Wiki Champion, Blueberry Wine, Blood Dream, Winsa Stout, Tsk, I've had enough to drink this month. “

"With your strength and means, how can you lack this money for drinking?" said this sentence, Rodin did not ask after all.

Leviathan had the grace to teach him, and it was enough to understand that.

"I don't have any money. "The deposit of about 100 Magneti Marelli is officially out of stock.

"I guess you're almost out of money. ”

"But I still say that there is no free lunch in the world, and if you can't get my wine money, don't think about training. "Leviathan only seems to care about his good wine.

"However, after practicing rigidly for so long, I believe that your heart is also longing for real guns. “

Leviathan paused, changed his tone, and said in a good way: "There is a bulletin board in the center of Hidden Town, where there are thousands of strange commissions, if you want to become a qualified swordsman, take the first step from there." ”
