Chapter 104: Paranoia

The topic of the night watchman has been circulating in the academy for a long time due to the personal experience of a certain girl. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But as an after-dinner conversation, such topics will eventually fade over time and eventually be replaced by other new topics.

After all, this is a world with extraordinary powers, and unsung heroes like the "Night Watch" are actually just everywhere, and often some capable people also like to play this game of "Messenger of Justice", leaving a small legend in some areas, intentionally or unintentionally revealing this identity, in exchange for the world's praise and amazement.

Although the existence of the "Night Watchman" has been left in the hearts of some people in the Northern Regions, these novel and lamenting rumors are only a spice for life after all, and cannot replace life itself.

It's December, and the year-end atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger with the date. Although the great disaster that struck the Northern Regions two months ago diluted a little of the festive atmosphere and suddenly increased the grief of feeling sorry for the deceased relatives, everyone still made some preparations for the traditional festival equivalent to the New Year, which is equivalent to the New Year.

Because the New Life Day on January 1 and the Coming Day on July 7 are the greatest festivals for mankind in this world.

Ian's life gradually returned to peace, and became more and more regular due to his sword intent.

Early in the morning, it is customary to dance the "Tai Chi Sword" like morning exercises, which occasionally attract a few teasing voices from Elena. She didn't know anything about her boy's physical condition, and once thought that this way of exercising in the morning was just Ian being lazy.

Naturally, the day was spent in the academy, and during the class, I watched Ms. Erica show her affection after teaching, and there was a wordless small talk with Phil and Alvin between classes, and from time to time she asked Phil to check the progress of her sword intent to see how effective the "Messenger of Justice" game was.

Of course, out of concern for the dynamics of the Black Sky Society, Ian would often conspire with Alvin behind his back to prevent him from participating in such things, and prepare some precautions like a person worrying about the sky. It's a pity that Colby can't move lightly, and Lawrence's trace has not been found so far, so the two teenagers can only be blindly on guard, and cannot take the initiative to attack.

On weekends, Ian would drag his heavy steps, extremely reluctant but helpless, to the Uptown to receive Camilla's lectures on aristocratic etiquette and aristocratic history. With the increase of the number of times, their attitude has gradually evolved from the original negative treatment to the gradual acceptance of the past.

As a result, he really learned a lot about the so-called nobles, and knew that the power of the Northern Regions was actually controlled by Grand Duke Lanceveen and the six powerful families under him. And these six nobles are the Anderson family, the Griffin family, the Dalle family, the Gerald family, the Duncan family, and the Bell family, who Ian suspects of having an affair with the Black Balance.

These six families are second only to the Grand Duke of Lanceveen in the Northern Regions, and together with the Grand Duke himself, they form the true upper class of the Northern Regions, and they owe allegiance to the Grand Duke in the Northern Regions, but have the power to jointly veto some of the Grand Duke's decisions. And when the Grand Duke himself did something that endangered the Northern Regions or the Empire, they also had the power to jointly ask the Emperor to depose and even elect a new Grand Duke.

This discovery once surprised Ian, which was almost a rudimentary form of parliamentarism, but the empire itself did not have such a parliament.

In this regard, he can only sigh with emotion, secretly sighing that the world is so big, there are no surprises.

And when night falls, after making sure that his mother is asleep, Ian will put on his customary black clothes and jump out of the windowsill to play the customary game of the night watch, pursuing his so-called beliefs. Recently, though, he's found a new joy in the game, which is to keep trying to perfect his own style of swordsmanship.

Fei Er has never commented on the offensive and defensive swordsmanship style he has formed. To be honest, this style of swordsmanship represents Ian forming his own system and going out of his own way. But the path he chose was really not flattering in terms of practicality.

In addition to being able to compete with mortal swordsmen, whether it is facing a capable person with a variety of means or facing a ferocious and irascible demon, the swordsmanship of this style system will be greatly restrained, and it is far less efficient and practical than Fei'er's one-hit killing swordsmanship.

In the face of demons, people don't have the concept of swordsmanship style. The smaller ones may be able to entangle them with some skill, and the larger ones are not as effective as a direct stab at their weakness, no matter how advanced they are.

As for facing the capable......

To put it mildly, unless it is an absolute advantage in strength, it is undoubtedly an extremely deadly act to let the capable person use his messy mental image one by one. However, who dares to say that he has an absolute advantage in strength in the face of capable people, and who dares to say that no matter what ability the other party uses, he can suppress one by one?

No!

Even the most brilliant and extreme Sword Saint would not dare to speak like this.

Even Fei'er, who can't figure out her strength, only dares to use the means of killing with one blow on the premise of not using "that" power, and ends the battle before the capable person uses his mental image.

Therefore, unless the owner who uses this kind of swordsmanship is invincible in the world, it is just a tasteless and regrettable method of discarding it after all.

However, there are some people in this world who can be called paranoid.

Ian is precisely this paranoid nature.

He always believes that Phil's style belongs to Phil, not to himself.

Therefore, when he has mastered the basic swordsmanship, he will begin to try to construct his own swordsmanship according to his own preferences. To this day, in the fight with capable people and demons, of course, he also knows that the practicality of his swordsmanship is extremely low, but he is unwilling to give up this style of swordsmanship.

No matter how much energy he spends, no matter how much effort he spends, no matter how much he does, no matter how much he does, he wants to perfect this style. wants to stand on top of the world one day in the future with this swordsmanship that belongs to him.

There is no reason to talk about this, let alone rationality.

It is like putting a peerless sword and a crude iron sword in front of a person who is extremely fond of swords, and if he is asked to choose one of them, he will completely ignore the so-called practicality, rationality, and general values, and choose the crude iron sword in the eyes of ordinary people who are puzzled, ridiculed, or disdainful.

At the end of the day, for these paranoians, it's not common sense or reason to make his choice. The reason for this is just three simple and straightforward words.

"I like it!"

The vast majority of such paranoia will be obscure and obscure because of this paranoia, but once they achieve something, then they will inevitably open up an unprecedented path to heaven, to heights beyond the reach of the world.

And Ian is working hard in such a paranoid way, longing for the day when he will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

As the clock ticks to a close, the New Year's bell is about to ring, and Ian is going to a private feast for a hypocritical middle-aged man.
