Chapter Eighty-Seven, The Southern Isles
�
Sailing is a boring thing to do, and although sailors will find ways to pass the time and keep themselves from being so boring, none of these methods are very effective...... If it works, how can they be bored?
Panda doesn't care about boredom, and when he has nothing to do, he is practicing martial arts.
The ship was no better than land, and no matter how strong the deck of the Harp Mermaid was, it could not withstand his heavy trampling. Therefore, his main practice is not the kung fu of hard bridges and hard horses, but some dexterous kung fu in his hands - to put it bluntly, it is the kung fu of weapons such as short knives and daggers.
This type of weapon is not very lethal, but if used well, it is not bad. The Bard has a special skill called the Juggling Attack, which is done by juggling weapons such as daggers and daggers to dazzle opponents. This is probably the same as a style such as "Thirteen Swords of Varied Clouds and Mists" in martial arts, which is invincible with a strong attack, and may also exert its unexpected effect when the enemy is strong.
The Panda had never practiced this type of weapon before, either before or after the crossing. But as the saying goes, there is no pressure on the body, no matter whether you can use it in the future or not, there will be no harm in practicing now.
Then the sailors saw that the majestic paladin was wielding a pair of short knives every day, and at first he was a little clumsy and could not play well, but soon he gradually became proficient. Half a month later, when the Harp Mermaid finally arrived in the Southern Islands, he was able to play with a pair of short knives and fly up and down like butterflies, and if he changed into a clown costume and performed juggling on the street, he could probably make a lot of money.
The changes in the middle really made the sailors feel a lot of emotion - the Holy Warrior is an extraordinary talent, and he practices so hard, no wonder he is so powerful!
Under the influence of pandas, these sailors also used their leisure time to practice martial arts. Originally, when they were free, they either slept or fished, but now they have changed to practice martial arts, and they suddenly found that they are not as idle as they imagined, and in addition to work and rest every day, the time that can really free up energy to practice martial arts is actually only two or three hours.
Practicing for two or three hours a day is not a high-intensity training, but it is also useful after all. When the Harp Mermaid finally arrived in the Southern Isles, the ship's sailors were even stronger. Among them, a few of them used two-handed broadswords, and the improvement was the most obvious, because the panda pointed them out by the way in addition to exercise.
"Education" is also one of the skills that traversers can master, and Panda has this skill, and it has also been upgraded many levels. After receiving his teachings, some of the sailors who wielded broadswords broke some bad habits in the past, some learned some new skills, and some honed their original swordsmanship more proficiently.
Although in Panda's opinion, their improvement is not large, at least the template has not been upgraded, but if they are now against the previous them, even if they fight twenty or thirty times, it is unlikely that they will win even once.
Because of the panda's teaching, these sailors not only greatly increased their strength, but also greatly improved their confidence. When the clipper finally anchored in port, a few of them shouted and got off the boat to find someone to compete.
There was no unified state in the Southern Isles, and various aquatic and semi-aquatic intelligent beings formed a city-state that was often at war with each other. Even in the same castle, various tribes and tribes often fight each other for the sake of profit or face.
Every city here has a martial arts arena, and the first step for many young people to dream of the future is often to "make a name for themselves in the martial arts arena".
But in fact, there are not many young people who can make a name for themselves in the martial arts arena.
Being young means having no experience, even if it's just a relatively safe empty-handed fight, young people generally can't beat the old rivers and lakes, let alone dangerous weapons exchanges. Even the kind of competitive ring that clearly emphasizes "point to point" often kills people, and injuries and disabilities are commonplace.
But even so, there are still many people participating in the competition. One is that the prize money of the competition is indeed high, and the other is indeed very face-saving to win the competition.
These sailors, who feel that their strength has been greatly improved, also thinks so.
A total of six sailors left, and when they returned the next morning, only five.
Of the five men, three were wounded and a little sluggish, and only two were unharmed and in good spirits.
As for the last one...... He can't come back.
The pandas did not criticize them, there is no way but people call themselves, they feel that they have the ability, to break through, to take risks, this is their freedom, no one has the right to criticize.
It's just that he won't teach these people swordsmanship anymore.
These people haven't practiced their skills yet, so they hurriedly want to fight for benefits, and joke with their lives indiscriminately. They have neither patience nor self-control of desires, and such disciples are not interested in teaching.
However, these people are actually not without gains, and the templates of the five survivors have all changed, from the original whiteboard to green, which can be regarded as a qualitative change.
Unfortunately, just a green template is nothing. Locke led the villagers to kill the lord and rebel, and the villagers who participated in the rebellion were all upgraded to green templates, which were dozens of people.
Now that they are at the place, the panda is ready to disembark. He said goodbye to Captain Jack, took his luggage, and left the Harp Mermaid to the port city of Flying Fish in the northern part of the Southern Isles.
It is the northernmost point of the entire Southern Isles region, and it is also a relatively peaceful and peaceful part of the archipelago region. A large number of merchants came here to do business, and a large number of goods were distributed here, bringing many business opportunities and wealth.
Of course, Panda is not here to do business, he is here to find a task.
When he first started playing the game, he had been wandering around the archipelago for a long time and was very familiar with this area. Now he wanted to look around and see if he could find a high-reward mission or two that he had done in the first place—he didn't care about the money, but through that kind of mission, he might be able to get valuable materials, or even good equipment.
These things are very helpful to him!
He found a random hotel in Flying Fish Harbor and rested for a day, and at night, he came to the largest bar in the city, Flying Fish Bar.
The founder of this bar was a former governor of Flying Fish City, and although the current owner is no longer the governor, he has always been a powerful person in the city. Compared to those small bars, the customers who come and go here are more rich and powerful.
If you're looking for something more rewarding to work on, or to buy some detailed information about the city's current situation, this is the place to be.
