Sylvia is gone, returning to Goldwater with the head of the House of York.

The vast Silvermoon Manor has returned to its former calm and desertedness, but Victor can't enjoy a moment of leisure, and there are still a lot of things to deal with for him.

In accordance with Bishop Perrault's instructions, Father Miller asked Victor to include the transaction tax on Randall's receipt in the scope of the tithe, and the method of collecting the tithing tax must be reformulated. The currency exchange ratio and exchange method are yet to be finalized, the combat structure of the mercenary corps needs to be adjusted, the team of the swamp scouts is in urgent need of expansion, the knights under Sophia's command have automatically taken over the affairs of Raven Town in the name of the family mother, and must try to transfer all these knights; Mercury has successfully taken advantage of the relationship with the Buck Merchant Group and is fighting with the Kamen Brotherhood, and is currently falling behind and needs support; In March of the Windy Season, Edward ascends the throne, and Victor, as the lord of Gambis, must personally go to the Kite Castle to swear allegiance to the new king, and then the general mobilization of the Fish-Man War......

One trouble after another, one trouble after another, made Victor's head extremely big, and the top priority was to get the reward of the church first-the new martial arts secret method created by the legendary paladin Turnans after fusing the secret form of barberry, the secret form of the spirit monkey and the secret technique of vibration.

At the foot of the back hill of Silvermoon Manor, there is a hemlock forest, which was once a primeval woodland with dense vegetation, and the workers cut down the low shrubs, cut many straight and straight hemlocks, planted alfalfa and rabbit grass in the woodland, and stocked a group of yellow sheep and short-tailed deer, transforming it into a beautiful forest hunting ground.

Victor occasionally brought Nicole and the others here for hunting and recreation, but Randall had a lot of business, and he and his ladies were busy most of the time. Over time, the forest hunting ground became a secluded place, and only one family was responsible for guarding the forest and preventing fires and repairing the hunting ground villa.

In the early morning, more than 200 heavily armed guards broke the silence of the forest, and they sparsely formed a cordon, not allowing others to enter and leave at will, and the forest guard's family was invited out. Inside the cordon, there were also dozens of mid-level holy warriors patrolling back and forth, guarding a clearing deep in the forest, preventing any prying eyes.

The Randall guards and Templars were so solemn because Lord Tournans was going to teach the Randall family a new set of martial arts. He specifically told Viscount Randall: Pay attention to secrecy.

The sun shines slanting into the forest, and the dew on the blades of grass reflects the sparkling light, decorating the glade like a fairyland.

On the lawn, Clement, dressed in a white robe, led the little chubby Dun Bertina, and two high-ranking clergy followed behind the Pope. Victor stood on the left, half a shoulder behind the Pope, flanked by Nicole, Lilia, and Marcy and Caligula.

Turnans and Nelson were far away from each other, both taking off their shirts to reveal their sleek, muscular muscles. Practicing martial arts requires demonstrating the linkage between muscles and bones.

"Lord High, why did you bring this fool here?" Tournans asked with some curiosity, glaring at the tall, obsessed Caligula. Taking off the bishop's robe, the way he spoke changed.

Victor hoped that the Pope would cure Bertina of her congenital illness and sent her to the Pinghu Town Church. Clement took pity on little Bell's misfortune and took it with him. He seems to think that Tournans' new martial arts secret technique will help Bertina get rid of his illness.

As a veteran knight, Nicole has no interest in mortal martial arts. However, Victor cares about the secret method of martial arts, and she cares about it, and this set of secret techniques of martial arts was originally going to be taught to the House of York and the Royal House of Neville.

Lilia was able to obtain the secret technique of martial arts, but the opportunity for the legendary paladin to demonstrate the secret technique in person was unique, and she might even be able to ask Turnans for advice on difficult points. Lilia is not an Alina sister, and in addition to her beauty, she also longs to be stronger.

Marcy was invited by Tournans by name, and when she discovered that two of Father David's "relatives" were actually His Holiness the Pope and the Templar Leader, she nearly fainted in excitement.

Caligula's appearance here seemed like an accident. Victor brought him to learn martial arts because he wanted to test whether the "fool" with 17 spiritual attributes was a genius or a real idiot.

"By the grace of the Lord, the boar was healed from his serious injuries. In order to remember the divine splendor of the Most High Lord, I have taken him as a servant and given him the surname of the Randall family, who is now called Caligula Randall. Victor explained with a smile.

The argument is strong. The clergy present chanted at the same time: "Praise be to our Lord." ”

Marcy bowed her head in shame and knelt on the ground in a prayer: "Praise be to the Lord of the Supreme Radiance, and may your light shine forever on the earth." "The boar was seriously injured and dying by her. Although a fool's life is as cheap as an ant, the authority of the lord cannot be challenged, and if the boar is killed on the spot, even Lady Lilia will not choose to shelter her.

In Marcy's view, Father Miller redeemed the boar and redeemed himself. And to the Lord, the glory of the pastor.

Turnans' gaze turned to Nelson and he asked, "Stupid bear, what is powerful?"

"You're strong. Nelson said with a solemn expression. Tournans let out a little breath, and he felt an invisible pressure.

"Are you compared to me?" Tournans laughed at the guarded Nelson, restrained his smile, and shouted, "That's wrong!"

"Can a wild wolf be strong in front of a saber-toothed tiger? A mammoth can trample a saber-toothed tiger into a pulp with one kick, and the white ape can easily tear the mammoth apart, but when it reaches the water, it will only become food for the saberander, and the stranded salamander will be slaughtered by the wild wolf. ”

"The so-called strong can only be compared to oneself, oneself is stronger than oneself, today is stronger than yesterday, tomorrow is stronger than today. If there is to be a specific criterion......

Tournans said in a deep voice: "Survival measures strong!"

"You're dead or alive!" Nelson said with smug smugness in his eyes.

"It's to survive first...... Also, don't rob me, now that I'm a teacher, you just listen quietly!"

"Oh. ”

Tournans nodded in satisfaction and continued, "If you escape under the dragon's claws, you will only win heroic praise, provided that you can survive. And cultivating the secret method of martial arts is to let you survive!"

"Therefore, the essence of the secret method of martial arts is the conversion of space and time, exchanging space for time, exchanging time for space, and striving to put the opponent in a disadvantageous state, so that you can gain an advantage in time and space. ”

"Teacher, I don't understand!" Nelson hurriedly raised his hand.

Victor smiled and thought, "Nelson did a great job!" I didn't understand either......

This set of martial arts theories originated from the inheritance of the Church, and has been summarized and refined by countless holy warrior masters, which seems to be a bit esoteric and obscure. Esoteric theories, however, allow students to pay attention to the teacher's teachings and memorize the following content.

Tournans was already familiar with this method of teaching, and the nobles of the Randall family listened with their ears pricked up, which made him proud, waved his hand, and said, "I gave an example. ”

"Is there not the slightest chance of survival for a junior paladin against an Ogre Overseer? A junior paladin can't fight a golden-tier monster head-on, so he can only choose to escape. He used the size of the ogre, took advantage of the terrain conditions, and maneuvered with the monsters, trying to hide, trying to get rid of, trying to lure the ogres to the territory of other monsters, so that they could fight and lose, and quickly escaped from the danger himself, and then sought the support of high-level paladins. For example, he found me......" Tournans pointed his nose with a thumb and continued: "When I slaughter that monster, will the junior paladin win? Is he considered a strong man? This is space for time." I had to catch up with the ogre before it could run away, first know where it was, and then take a shortcut and run at full speed, all to get closer to the monster. This is time for space. ”

"Makes sense...... Nelson touched his chin and nodded repeatedly, and said hesitantly, "This seems to be a tactic, and it has nothing to do with martial arts?"

If a student doubts it, you can use your fists to tell him the true meaning of martial arts!

"Come on! Let's talk!"

Turnans let go of the arms he was holding together and raised his chin, "I only use the speed and strength of ordinary soldiers, you give it your all!"

"Good!" Nelson's pupils constricted, his gaze condensed like a steel cone, and his fighting intent boiled without restraint. He grew up in killing, and his mind was pure, even if he knew that Turnans was the top powerhouse of the day, and he was by no means able to match himself, he had to try the other party's weight for himself.

As soon as the words fell, Nelson flicked his steps, his knees did not bend, his shoulders did not shake, and his movements were light and silent, as if he were sliding forward in the air, making it impossible to grasp his next move.

Immediately after, a series of explosions suddenly sounded in his body, like a continuous thunderclap, and like a bowstring buzzing, the muscles of his whole body rolled like a python, his bronzed skin turned blue, his combat boots slammed on the ground, and instantly swept a distance of 5 meters, and the fist of the green muscles burst out like a meteor, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and slammed into Turnans's chest.

Even if there was a giant rhinoceros in front of him, Nelson was confident that he would knock it out with one punch.

Turnanth wasn't a giant rhinoceros, but he grew infinitely higher in Nelson's pupils until he became a giant who stood tall in the sky. Nelson was shocked, only to see the giant raise his hand and press down, and the surrounding scenery swirled and shattered, and finally solidified into the treetops and the blue sky.

Where am I? What happened?, Nelson lay on his back on the grass, confused.

Victor's face sank like water, and his mind replayed the scene frame by frame.

According to the standards of the earth, Nelson is gifted, is a rare martial arts wizard in a hundred years, he has cultivated the barberry secret form and the spirit monkey secret form to a very high and profound realm, the two secret forms faintly have signs of fusion, his whole body muscles and bones are condensed, his ears and eyes are clear, his eyes are fast, and he is not far behind a knight who is physically and mentally integrated.

Although he didn't use the vibrational secret technique to burst power, that punch had an unstoppable brilliance. But at the most critical moment, he hesitated. At this moment, Turnans took half a step back, took another half step, and pressed a palm on Nelson's shoulder, and then Nelson's whole body strength dissipated, and he rolled and fell out.

Why did Nelson hesitate? That's not his character......

"Stupid bear, do you understand?" Turnans said, "You have more strength than me, faster than me, I can't block your fist, and I can't parry, so I took a step back, exchanging space for time to take out my hand, and then took a step forward, using time to offset the space for your strain." I'll hit you first, break your balance, and make you fall big. After a pause, he said solemnly: "If I were your enemy and I held a pure gold dagger in my hand, would you be dead?"

"The battle of life and death is often a one!"

You come and go, and the exciting battles are the show. Actual combat and pleasing to the eye have no chance, just like a heavyweight boxer and a lightweight boxer, without protective gear, in a life-and-death fight, they turn each other in circles, constantly probing, life and death are only in the moment of contact.

The heavyweight has the weight advantage, but when he is hit in the head by his opponent, it will be difficult to turn the tables even if it causes a brief stun. And the fighting skills are precisely the embodiment of the competition between time and space.

The martial arts of elite soldiers are all basic stabs, slashes, splits, blocks and footwork, and through thousands of exercises, they form a conditioned reflex like fast, accurate, and ruthless, which is mediocre but has great lethality.

The purpose of cultivating martial arts is to protect oneself and kill enemies. Turnans's theory of space-time interchange breaks the essence of martial arts in one sentence.

Victor admits that Tournans is incisive, and he is now more concerned about Nelson's unusual reactions. If Nelson hadn't hesitated at the time, at least he wouldn't have lost so much.

Did Turnans really just use mortal means to gain an advantage in time and space?

"Nelson, why did you hesitate just now?" Victor asked directly the doubt in his heart.

"I suddenly felt that Master Tournans had become as tall as a castle, and I was like an ant in front of him...... Could it be an illusion?" Nelson shook his head, stared at the legendary paladin with wide eyes, and suddenly realized, "My lord, you used a magic technique?!"

Turnans rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "I said that with the level of an ordinary soldier, you can still deceive this stupid bear? That's not magic skills, it's the power of the heart." Smacking his lips, he added: "The spiritual power that everyone has cannot be regarded as an extraordinary means. He thought to himself:

If I didn't use the power of the mind, I really wouldn't be able to subdue the bear of the Northland with the strength of an ordinary soldier.
