Chapter IX Conditions

Melissa Tavern after the old place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rodin suddenly stopped swinging his sword, and sweat flowed down his arm, along the spine of the sword, and finally converged into a stream that dripped from the sharp end of the sword.

A figure slowly appeared in sight, Leviathan looked at Rodin's sweaty appearance and frowned, and said unhappily: "The physical strength consumed in the afternoon has not yet recovered, and it hurts your body to practice like this." “

"That's enough, the practice of swordsmanship is about perseverance, and it's too much. “

Rodin gritted his teeth and said quite stubbornly: "Not enough, can you understand what it's like to watch others fight to the death, but you can only stand and watch impotently?" ”

Leviathan said disapprerovantly: "After all, you have only been practicing swordsmanship for a few months, even if your understanding is not low, but Gray and Hulder are both experienced swordsmen with more than ten years of experience, of course you are far inferior to them." ”

"But your performance is also very good, especially the last sword, the timing is perfect, and you are in full state. ”

Leviathan was tempting: "With the hard work you have practiced your sword, you can reach their level in ten years at most." ”

Ten years, Rodin's heart was cold, now he is twenty years old, ten years have passed, will he not become an uncle.

Unknowingly, a person who had no ambitions and got by also had a goal to strive for in this new world

That level of swordsmanship would never satisfy him.

After a decade of hard sword training and then becoming a small-town militia captain?

Such an achievement is far from enough for a traveler, and it is difficult for him to accept.

"Ten years? It's too long, I can't wait that long. ”

Rodin suddenly said with some inexplicability: "Old man, when we were fighting with Herder this afternoon, did you hide and watch my jokes?"

"Oh, why do you ask? I don't have that spare time to care about you. “

"To tell you the truth, even if I was around, even if you died by his sword, I wouldn't have struck. ”

"It's the path you choose. ”

Rodin gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "I know that your swordsmanship and strength must far surpass Herder's.

"But I think that during this period of training with you, you only taught me the most basic parts of swordsmanship, and you didn't even give me a complete set of swordsmanship."

"You've kept a huge part of my teachings!"

His gaze was suddenly directed at the Leviathan.

"Huh. “

Leviathan let out a somewhat grim laugh in his throat, tilted his head, and said like a giant bear, "You're right, but why should I teach you, is it the reward of two glasses of wine a day?"

"Teaching you swordsmanship is just a whim of mine. Plus, you do remind me of a friend.

"But, you are not qualified to receive my true teachings. ”

"I'm not qualified, after all, I'm not strong enough. Rodin laughed at himself.

"Then what does it take to be your true student and be taught by you wholeheartedly?"

As soon as Rodin finished speaking, Leviathan's predator-like gaze looked at him, and he said in an unpredictable tone: "You saw the crimson half-moon that Herder sent out in the afternoon. “

"Performing swordsmanship with the power of domination makes it easy to break through armor. Of course, it also has many mysteries, such as strengthening the senses, treating night as day, and allowing your sense of smell to surpass that of a wild dog. “

"The so-called power of domination lurks in your body, and most people will not be able to comprehend it in their lifetime. “

"Even a mercenary warrior who has experienced a hundred battles has comprehended the power of domination. “

"It's not just about refining your body with a special breathing method, it's about facing all kinds of challenges and threats with extreme difficulty, breaking through your physical and mental limits, and finally carrying out your will to the end. “

"If you want to become my student, it depends on whether you have enough courage and awareness. ”

Rodin listened to Leviathan's cold words, and suddenly appeared as if he was playing, looking at the old man in front of him in a bit of a daze, as if he was frightened by his change.

"This man can't be the boss behind the scenes hidden in the novel. ”

It was as if the devil was tempting a pure soul.

"Frightened?" the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and Leviathan's whole person was plunged into darkness, exuding a gloomy and cold aura.

"Do you still want to be my student, will you die?"

The words "will die" lingered in Rodin's mind like a magic spell.

The two were relatively silent, silent for a long time.

"Huh. Rodin suddenly laughed nervously.

"Since Hedel can comprehend the power of domination, then the militia should also have a breathing method. “

"That kind of rotten street goods, otherwise you think he will practice hard for more than ten years before he awakens?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Rodin made up his mind, "Give it to me, that special breathing method." “

"If you don't give it a try, you won't be willing to die. “

Leviathan looked at Rodin quietly, as if trying to read his thoughts on his face.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to get my true biography, you must first pass my 3 tests. ”

"It's finally here, that's what he's training me for. Rodin was a little apprehensive, but more excited. He can even bump into such mysterious things as crossing them, what else is there that he doesn't dare to face?!

"I'm not going to give you any more guidance from today"

"I will convey the trials to you one by one, and you just have to wait with peace of mind. ”

"If you pass all three tests, you'll get that breathing method. ”

"Agreed?"

"I accept. As soon as the words fell, Rodin felt as if he had taken off a layer of restraint, and his whole person was much more relaxed.

Then he bowed to Leviathan with mixed feelings: "No matter what the future holds, this is a thank you for your previous teachings. ”

"Finally, can I ask you one thing? “

"Say it,"

"I seem to see Colin's ghost, is that real?"

Leviathan listened to this, his eyes widened, and he looked at him movingly, "I really didn't expect that you have that kind of talent." “

"Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting. “

"I can give you a hint that very rare people can see those things with the naked eye. "In this world, people also have spirits after death, and the vast majority of them will dissipate after a long time, and there are also a few people who are gifted in life and will not disperse for a long time after death, turning into demons and harming the world. ”

Rodin licked his face and asked again, "Can you tell me more about these strange stories?"

"Get out!"

"I'll wait until you're my student. ”

Rodin sighed helplessly, "Then I'll go." ”

"Wait, you kid seems to have forgotten something. ”

"My Leviathan's money is not so easy to take, and you still owe me a hundred and fifty Marelli commissions. ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, I had all the money. Rodin took out the money bag he had prepared from his bosom and threw it over happily.

"Kid is good, not greedy for money at all. “

"My wine money is down again!"

In this world, since there are demon spirits, there must be some other unknown dangers, and if you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, what a pity for money. "This is what you deserve, and I probably wouldn't have been able to complete this commission without your investigation, so I took a lot of advantage. ”

"Rodin, one last piece of advice, quit your job in the tavern and go to the militia, which is more suitable for you. ”

The militia seems to be a good choice.

It's just that a figure of snow-skinned cherry lips can't help but appear in my mind.
