Chapter 40: Twilight Flow and White Crow Swordsmanship

Waking up from his sleep, Gustav looked at the sky outside, it should have been noon.

Oh no! I've set a time with Catherine today to practice martial arts!

Yesterday afternoon and night something unexpected happened that completely disrupted Gustav's plans. The only thing to be happy about was getting an apprenticeship contract with Mr. Leok and meeting a lot of new friends.

Well...... I also had a long-lost 'running group' and got a glimpse of the tabletop entertainment in the magic world...... Although Gustav has crossed paths with the Council of the Night's Suns, life will go on until he has accumulated enough strength.

Rising from his warm bed, Gustav washed up and walked outside. Grabbing a loaf of bread and smearing some jam on it, he opened the door.

"Miss Sally, good afternoon. "The name of the apartment where Gustav lives is Flame Pinecone, and the current owner is an old woman of her age, Sally. Gustav knew that for women who were not married, no matter how old the other party was, they could only be called Miss.

In the common area on the first floor of the apartment, Miss Sally, with a white cat in her arms, was resting comfortably in a rocking chair next to the coffee table.

Is Miss Sally taking a nap again? Older people get up early, but they tend to want to take a nap at noon. Pushing open the door to the apartment, Gustav trotted all the way to Igbre's training ground.

"Slow down, Gustav. A lazy voice came from behind, and Miss Sally was still woken up by Gustav.

Turning back with a bright smile, Gustav continued to rush out.

............

"You're late. Catherine had been waiting there for a long time, and she had always been punctual and demanded of herself with the discipline of a knight. "Nineteen minutes and twenty-four seconds later than the agreed time. ”

The Gustan dynasty was ruled by demonic ranks, so the definition of the eight virtues of knights on their side changed accordingly. Gustav once heard Catherine talk about how in the Gustan dynasty, the eight virtues of knighthood were 'tampered with': pride, honor, honesty, self-discipline, valor, cold-bloodedness, steel, and loyalty.

Well, it's really different from those normal countries outside, and it's very demonic dynasty!

"I'm very sorry," Gustav said, scratching his head, "I've been unlucky since yesterday afternoon, and I've had a lot of trouble. ”

Catherine clasped her hands to her chest, and her right index finger tapped rhythmically against the crook of her hand.

"I'm not curious about what happened to you, because it's your private business. Catherine's blue eyes swept over, and her right hand stretched out, unleashing the crystal sword. "Today you are going to practice your swordsmanship, and after that, Gustav, you are going to train yourself for the first layer of the Magic Pattern Revelator title. ”

As she said, the people of the Oster family would not turn their backs on allies, but they would not ally with the weak. What Catherine needed was an alliance that could face the difficulties ahead.

Above Igbre's training grounds, there were only a few scattered people on vacation to experiment with new specialties and arcane arts.

Finding a fairly empty place, Catherine threw Gustav an iron sword, a very ordinary iron sword, which had not even been bladed.

"It's a pity that you're not a knight of our Oster family, so it's impossible for Thurman's secret frost sword technique to be taught to you. Catherine said, "But fortunately, in my memory, there are still two good ways to advance the sword art school. It was a by-product of the early days of the Gustan dynasty, and there was no shortage of people among the great nobles to learn. As a teammate, I am qualified to teach these two schools of swordsmanship in the rules of the Gustan Dynasty. ”

Gustav was a little nervous, his knowledge of swordsmanship was limited to fencing in sports activities or kendo in Toei, and other aspects were basically blank.

"That plane has the inheritance of two schools of the Nine Swords: Sunset Flow Swordsmanship and White Crow Flow Swordsmanship, and the atmosphere of the plane itself belongs to its own belief system that worships the ancestors. Catherine continued, "Although the emphasis of the two schools is different, they still follow the three basic swordsmanship. If you decide to learn one of the two schools from me, you must first master the 'Sword of Heavenly Punishment', 'Sword of the Military Path', and 'Sword of the Sage'. Once you have reached a certain level of understanding of the three swordsmanship, you can decide whether to follow the sunset or practice the White Crow Swordsmanship according to your wishes. ”

Gustav's belly: I want to learn the Flying Edgeworth, is that okay?

"So, what's the difference between Sunset and Raven?" asked Gustav curiously.

Catherine thought about it carefully and slowly organized her words: "The school's swordsmanship focuses on the skill of the swordsman, and their moves are very magical, and in the end, there is even a wonderful effect of making the most effective attack with the least effort. However, this also doomed them to not be able to use too great moves when they were in a small area, and once they were besieged, the advantage would no longer exist. Therefore, the swordsmanship of Sunset Stream is a powerful swordsmanship that belongs to solo combat, or even a life-and-death duel. ”

"And the crow swordsmanship ......," Catherine admires this genre very much, "Frankly, this is a school that is extremely complementary to the sunset flow swordsmanship, and the power contained in the swordsmanship can bring new life to the whole team. In group combat, the advantages of this sword art will be magnified layer by layer. In the Gustan Dynasty, some of the generals who led the army would choose the crow swordsmanship to learn, and in the end they were almost god-like figures. ”

Gustav listened with some fascination.

"Can you learn both at the same time?" asked cautiously, Gustav did not want to be saddled with the impression of greed.

"Of course, but ......," Catherine added, "Sunset needs the Sword of the Sage, and the White Crow Sword needs the Sword of Heavenly Punishment and the Sword of the Military Dao, which is highly mastered at the same time. The physical requirements required for these three basic swordsmanship are completely different, and if you want to practice together, I am afraid that what is more important is the talent of the learner. ”

Catherine didn't go any further, her meaning was self-evident: no one knew what Gustav's swordsmanship skills were.

With a long sigh of relief, Gustav felt that it was futile to think too much at the moment.

is like a joke I once heard when I was on earth, a person is worried about going to Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future, and in the end it only turns into a joke and ends up without a problem.

"In that case, the Sword of Heavenly Punishment, the Sword of the Military Dao, and the Sword of the Sage still need to be trained, right?" Gustav left all the complicated choices behind, and finally replied: "Then I will train one door first, starting with the Sword of Heavenly Punishment." ”
