Chapter 4: Tasks

The reason why he has improved so quickly is that his physical fitness is slightly stronger than Bill's, and secondly, he is not the original Ron after all, and he has some combat experience himself, but he is just not used to fighting with wooden swords before.

So, as he became more proficient in basic swordsmanship, Bill needed to work a little harder if he wanted to win.

The wooden sword in his hand was swung out according to the movements of basic swordsmanship, and Ron subconsciously looked at the skill attributes under his eyes.

'Skills: Basic Swordsmanship (38% Proficiency), Basic Fighting Skills (12% Proficiency), Basic Archery (30%), Gothic Linguistics (13%)'

'It's a 13% increase in three days, and it's slowed down. He frowned slightly.

Although practicing basic swordsmanship can increase one's own quality, its essential premise is more of a fighting skill.

If you want to master it quickly, in addition to daily routine training, you must also integrate this skill into your instincts, so that you can freely play the effect of your swordsmanship anytime and anywhere.

But now, as Ron adapts to this style of fighting, it is inevitable that his progress will slow down once his basic swordsmanship and physical instincts have reached a common point.

'Bill's swordsmanship is very proficient, but compared to me, the physical fitness is poorer, if you put aside the external factors of physical fitness, his swordsmanship proficiency should be about 50% according to my estimates, this is also the result of his two years of training, if I want to master the basic swordsmanship as soon as possible, in addition to still exercising combat experience outside the fight, I also need to continue to hone the basic training, the swordsmanship into the instinct of the body, and some things that I have learned'

Although the fighting skills he learned in his previous life were too fancy for the battles in this world, some practical things were still common.

After combining the basic sword, it may be able to have a surprising effect.

At least, if he really lets go of his hand to fight Bill now, then Bill really wants to win, and it won't be so simple to solve it with a stumble.

As he pondered how to integrate what he had learned, a group of horseback and leather-clad figures walked in from outside the training camp on the road not far from the training ground.

Most of them have crossed swords hanging from their waists, but some of them carry double-edged axes or other weapons. The horses riding down below him snorted from time to time.

The appearance of the team immediately attracted two people on the training ground.

Bill walked briskly over to Ron's side, and suddenly, his eyes lit up and pointed to a thin young man in leather armor who was walking in the front.

"Look, that's Felius, one of the twenty knight-trainees in the realm, and it is said that among some robbers and outcasts he still has the title of 'Viper', see his boot on his right, and there are two daggers in it, and they are his two 'fangs'. ”

Listening to Bill's slightly excited tone, Ron looked in the direction he was pointing.

The apprentice knight named Philius had a somewhat indifferent face, an ordinary standard cross sword hanging from his waist, a pair of silver armor gloves on his hands, and the most obvious thing was that he actually had a pair of green eyes, which swept around from time to time, like a real poisonous snake looking for prey.

And Ron noticed that there was indeed a small bulge on the top of his right boot, which he couldn't find if he didn't pay attention.

He turned his head and looked curiously at Bill, whose eyes were shining, and wondered.

"You know all this?"

"Of course!" Bill excited. "I know all the information about the twenty apprentice knights in the territory, these are all precious treasures that I have worked hard to collect, and I will definitely become a probationary knight in the future to show my father. ”

Ron looked at Bill's current appearance speechlessly, as if he had seen the fanaticism of those starchasers in his previous life.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he tugged at Bill's sleeve and said in the same fervent tone.

"By the way, do you know Trainee Knight Nick, I admire him more, can you tell me about him?"

"Nick?" Bill thought for a moment. "He is one of the more low-key trainee knights in the whole trainee knight, he is best at swordsmanship, he is usually more distant from other trainee knights, and he doesn't have much of a record and nickname, he seems to have been assigned out of some task recently, and it takes a lot of time are you sure you admire him?"

"That's right. Ron nodded. "Don't you think such a low-key person looks very cool?"

"I didn't feel it. Bill shook his head, then excitedly again. "I'll tell you who I admire more, it's Lord Justin, who is known as the most promising knight in the last two years! I have seen him cut off a tree with a single sword, and none of his enemies are intact, and he has the powerful title of 'Mountain Brown Bear', and you will definitely be shocked if you see him. ”

"A single sword can cut off a tree!?" Ron was slightly stunned, then exclaimed. "That's amazing!".

His own strength of the trainee knight is based on the general impression of the original Ron's memory, in his opinion, the strength of the trainee knight is at most like the kind of boxing king-level figure in the previous life, although it is very powerful, one can fight ten, but after all, it is only one person, a person with strong physical fitness.

It can be difficult to deal with, but it's not hopeless.

But now he didn't know if Bill was exaggerating, but if the apprentice knight really had the ability to cut through a large tree with a single sword, then the plan he had hidden in his mind might have to change.

After all, powerful ordinary people can still try to deal with it, and little Superman will forget it.

"It seems that there is a big gap between the physical fitness of the people of this world and the humans of the earth, but the trainee knight is so powerful, so what about being a knight lord officially canonized by the empire?"

Ron didn't know, but one thing was for sure, the man who could lead twenty trainee knights over a vast territory was a symbol of power in itself in a world where power was revered.

The knight's entourage quickly disappeared from the sight of the two.

Bill next to him seemed to be stimulated by these people, and waved the wooden kendo in his hand.

"I'm rested, come on, do it again!?"

"No problem. Ron said briskly.

Nick's mission is undoubtedly good news for him, so it's important to try to increase his strength as much as possible before he returns.

Although human life is not valuable in the territory, there are rules that do not allow each other to fight each other.

This is an order that even a probationary knight cannot easily disobey, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the lord.

Of course, this is also on the surface, and it is not easy to say in the dark, such as using homeless people to attack or fake robbers to rob at the beginning

At least, it shouldn't be killed as it was the first time. ’

Ron looked at Bill in a pose, and the wooden sword in his hand slashed at him.

Every day is spent in intensive training, and the strength is slowly growing unconsciously.

This life lasted for nearly half a month.

Half a month later.

Depressed gray rain clouds floated in the gloomy sky, and there was still a faint feeling of humidity in the air.

In a small town not far from the training camp, four figures in brown leather armor on horseback slowly walked from the end of the street.

These people all had slightly serious expressions, with cross-swords hanging from their waists, and their eyes wandered from time to time in the crowd as if they were looking for something.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, most of them dressed in gray linen clothes, and some vendors pushing carts selling vegetables or fruits whispered from time to time.

It seems that because of yesterday's rain, the streets are dirty, and the horses' hooves occasionally step in puddles and make a 'crackling' sound.

Walking in the middle of the four was a young man who looked a little immature, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slightly pale ordinary face under some yellowish hair.

He held the reins in both hands and adjusted the direction of the horse's head from time to time, and his riding did not seem to be very skillful.

"Ron, relax, you're a little nervous, or the little one under you will be very uncomfortable. ”

It was a middle-aged man with gray hair behind him who spoke, but his appearance seemed to be a little inconsistent with his tall and strong figure, especially the huge double-edged axe on his back, which faintly gave this person a fierce feeling.

Ron, who heard the other party's admonition, nodded and said respectfully.

"Yes, Mr. Kaye. ”

While the two were talking, the young man who was walking in front suddenly turned his head and whispered.

"Be careful, we're here to arrest someone this time, although that guy was injured before, but don't let him run away, newcomer, I remember this is your second mission, don't hold back." ”

The man had an ordinary face, but with two cross swords hanging from his waist, his body looked extremely flexible.

The latter sentence he said was obviously to Ron alone, but Ron only nodded his head to indicate that he knew.

The knights in the training camp are not scattered, but exist in small teams of four, and the new servants will go through a series of training and tests before being assigned to a certain team.

If you fail, you will be retrained and re-assessed, and if you fail for the third time, you may be kicked out of the training camp.

This is the second time since Ron has accepted the task assigned by the probationary knight.

If he succeeds, he can truly enter the ranks of knights, and if he fails, he will either be assigned to a member of the militia or become a civilian in the territory to live an ordinary life.

It's fine to be a militiaman, but if you're a normal person, it's too easy to deal with as a trainee knight.

Therefore, for this mission, Ron also attaches great importance to it.

According to Chemist, the knight trainee who issued the mission, the mission was to capture a murderer who had escaped from somewhere else.

It is said that the criminal was injured when he came to the territory, but it also caused a lot of trouble to the territory, and at least two civilians were killed by this guy.

The town's militia had nothing to do with such a powerful but very flexible guy, so the task fell to them.

According to the militia who discovered the situation, they had learned that the criminal was very skilled in killing people, and may have been a soldier or a killer or something.

But now because of the injury, his strength has decreased, and it is only because of his dexterity that he has slipped away several times before.
