Chapter 70: Unbelievable
Barney Longbow Sr., a former adventurer and mercenary, once claimed to be familiar with all weapons, but it was clear that he had a strange way of using a short blade and attacking.
He held his short sword aloft like a kitchen knife, slashing down from top to bottom towards the half-elf's shoulder.
It's the same way as his militia just now, but it's much faster and stronger, but this kind of flawed technique, Loki easily dodges it.
The martial arts that this trainer is proud of turned out to be like the legendary three-plate axe, slashing vertically and horizontally, adding a shoulder movement so large that the enemy can detect it in advance, and a pair of hands full of holes stabs.
Loki dodged meticulously, but anyone could tell that he was dealing with it with ease.
Old Barney has the physical attributes of a professional, but he doesn't know the skills of a professional at all.
Even the basic skills at the apprentice level, he didn't use them at all.
In the end, Old Barney seemed to realize that this was not the way, relying on the advantages of attribute height and other advantages, and ignoring the close threat of the tactical claw knife, his whole body rushed forward without defense, and the wooden short sword in his hand was another downward splitting action.
Loki's grey eyes were calm, and he used the essence of dodging in the Brazilian war dance.
His shoulders leaned slightly to the right, but he jerked sideways to the left, and then he was next to Barney Sr.
As he approached Barney Sr., the half-elf boy clenched his tactical claw knife arm and slammed upwards into an uppercut.
But this one used the explosive power of the whole body, and there were some killing moves like the Ascending Dragon Fist outside, but it was not to hit Old Barney's body, but the wooden short sword that Old Barney had split in his hand.
There was a soft sound of 'Bang', the sound of a severed wooden sword falling to the ground, and Old Barney's hand turned into a bare wooden handle.
Old Barney Longbow's face stiffened in astonishment, but the weapon in his other hand reflexively slashed again.
But with the tactical claw knife in the half-elf boy's hand, another quick and precise movement, the wooden short sword in his other hand was also cut off.
With the ability of a low-level apprentice, easily defeating a professional is something that normal people would not think about.
What's more, if anyone wants to talk about it, it will be considered crazy.
Loki was sure he wouldn't lose, and he certainly wasn't crazy.
From Barney Longbow's few movements, with his optimized clear optic nerve image, he could easily capture the flaws, and he believed that even an ordinary level 4 or 5 apprentice could easily defeat this fake trainer.
Old Barney's strength and other physical attributes have an absolute advantage over the half-elf boy, as for how to cut off the opponent's weapon?
This is not only due to the optimization of the visual image system, which gives him the ability to accurately judge space at the decimal point, and makes his explosive movements extremely accurate.
In addition, he had to rely on the tactical claw knife created by the old dwarf himself, which was so good and sharp that Loki cut off the wooden practice short sword before he could withstand the reaction force.
There was silence all around, and everyone, including Barney Longbow Sr., grew their mouths in surprise.
"How, how is it possible, why is that?"
Barney Sr. muttered to himself, looking at the flattened hilt of his sword, and then a strange scene happened.
Old Barney's entire eyeball unconsciously rolled upward, revealing the entire whites of the eye socket, and then flipped and revealed the pupil again, and the whole eyeball flipped a few times so quickly.
If it weren't for Loki's optimized vision, which has a sensitivity beyond ordinary people, he wouldn't have noticed this phenomenon at all.
The doubts in Loki's heart are hard to dispel, this is not like a complication of psychosis, and I haven't heard of any stimulated patients who will constantly roll their eyes?
After a moment, Old Barney seemed to return to normal again, and suddenly clapped his hands and praised, and at the same time, the quiet atmosphere around him just now suddenly melted away.
"Haha, Loki, you really have extraordinary talent, I admit I lost. For weapons like the Short Blade, you even surpass me. ”
The trainer's face was heartfelt with enthusiasm, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of being defeated by the boy, and even began to ask him about some of the weapon movements he had just used.
Some of Barney's questions were answered by Loki with caution.
At this time, the half-elf boy had an indescribable strangeness in his heart. Regardless of whether this trainer is an impostor or not, he really has a mental problem, because he doesn't have any normal behavior.
For an afternoon, Loki seemed to be transformed into a rare animal in the zoo, and was discussed and watched by many residents of Silent Town.
He actually wanted to sneak away, but there was someone next to him who was pestering him tighter.
His Excellency the Trainer followed the half-elf boy step by step, and practiced with him all the weapons he was proficient in, but in Loki's eyes, these movements were terrible and clumsy, not even as good as a beginner.
However, one thing surprised Loki very much, it was no wonder that Barney Sr. had the surname Longbow, because he was really good at bows and arrows.
At first, when the trainer raised his longbow and arrows, the half-elf boy was in the mood to watch the joke.
But what he didn't expect was that at a distance of seventy or eighty meters, every time he drew his longbow and shot an arrow, he could accurately hit the straw target, or near the bull's-eye.
Barney Sr.'s archery posture was casual, but the accuracy was beyond the level of an Olympic champion.
The half-elf boy is usually good at crossbows, but he only uses optimized vision to achieve a relatively accurate level, and he may not necessarily hit the target fifty steps away, far less accurate than this trainer.
This made Loki's eyes blink, and the optic nerve images were carefully recorded all the time, using some of the idle computing resources in the background to quickly break down his archery secrets.
Frame by frame, the image is constantly displayed in the retina, and at the same time, a row of analyzed digital information flashes rapidly in the pseudo-field of vision next to it.
But the result disappointed the half-elf boy, who couldn't come up with a scientific answer.
After quantum biological computer analysis, Barney Sr.'s archery action does not have any reference value.
Those postures and movements are contrary to the principles of human mechanics. Not only will it reduce the probability of hitting the bow and arrow, but some of these techniques of anti-joint force and unscientific muscle stretching will even cause permanent damage to the body when used regularly.
As for Barney Longbow Sr., why is he so accurate in archery with unscientific movements? Similar to Loki, he has a talent for special sensory optimization.
When evening was approaching, the enthusiastic townspeople around finally dispersed one after another.
But when the road returned to the town, there was a sudden commotion of the crowd.
It turned out that there was a half-elf couple looking for a child, and their mischievous little daughter had not yet returned home at this time, which caused them to worry.
The half-elf couple asks each of the Silent Town residents.
Loki was even asked, but no one had ever seen the little girl hiding.
