Chapter 147: The Priestess' Invitation

On the training ground, Loki was dressed in heavy armor and his head was already covered with sweat.

Breathing slightly, he held a round shield and a spear, and he faced the trainer Deyor, who held a one-handed sword.

'Qiang~' made a weapon clash, and the spear was slammed to the side, but it didn't let go, and was still held tightly by the half-elf.

In close combat, spears are obviously less agile than one-handed swords.

After fending off two blows from his one-handed sword on his shield, Loki pulled away with his 'mercenary's heel and stabbed the tip of his spear at Deyor.

There was a soft 'click', and the spear was cut off by a one-handed sword.

This is not a wooden weapon for training, but the half-elf knows that his martial arts skills are difficult to hurt his teacher Deyour with a real weapon.

Loki threw aside half of his spear, drew his one-handed axe from his back, and slashed at the opposite side again.

Not surprisingly, the trainer dodged over, and the half-elf's leg was also smacked by the sword's spine.

He didn't blink his eyes at this sharp pain, but the half-elf knew that if he faced a strong enemy in a real battle, he would already lose with just this 'broken tendon'.

After the battle, the instructor Deyour also praised: "Yes, your strength has increased significantly, it seems that you have suffered a lot recently......

"Thanks to your teaching, teacher. ”

Deyor continued, "Don't be modest, I've seen some decent half-elves, but they're usually more focused on using their agility and speed, and neglect to develop their strength physique. ”

"Relying too much on the agility of their movements is their weakness, and it is difficult to grasp opportunities in battle from the front. ”

"It seems that you have a good way to improve your strength, but don't go to the other extreme, and don't neglect practice with your agility talent. ”

Loki nodded and said, "I remember, Sensei." ”

Deyol looked over to the side of the training ground.

There was the dwarf Pigou in the lead, leading two craftsmen who were installing some iron-framed exercise equipment, and there were some militiamen watching the excitement next to them.

"That's how you usually practice strength, it seems that it is really different from the practice of ordinary fighters. ”

"I received it with kindness, but you don't need to be free of charge for these equipment, you should let the adults of the town hall bear some more expenses for militia training, and I will bear the rest." ”

Loki is as good as a stream, and with his teacher Deyor's usual greed for money, he is definitely richer than running a weapon shop.

"Later, you can teach these guys how to use it, and see if this practice method can also work for ordinary militia......"

In fact, there is nothing unusual, they are all playground sports equipment in the previous life.

The number of horizontal bars and parallel bars is the largest, and other simple wear-resistant instruments such as wooden frames, lifting rings, and ladders are ......

The main body of the apparatus is made of sturdy hemlock, and at the bars that need to bear more weight, a cast iron pole is used, and a layer of paint is almost enough.

There is no need for Loki to make a move, and the owner of the Hammer Weapon Shop personally guides him.

The dwarf jumped high, grabbed the horizontal bar directly, and began to perform horizontal bar movements such as pull-ups and upright arms, and also played a trick as if showing off.

The horizontal bar looped, and the dwarf turned several times in a row before coming down.

It looks like it's just an ordinary iron frame, and the name 'horizontal bar' is not surprising, but I didn't expect this kind of gameplay, and most of the militia are also young people, and they began to rush up to try it.

But the first attempt is mostly not smooth, which also requires a certain amount of skill and strength.

Several young militiamen either couldn't hold on to the horizontal bar for a while, or were thrown out when they shook.

Pigou shouted, "Young men, this thing is mainly to practice and increase your strength. ”

"Pull-ups like me, only the strongest warriors can do more. ”

Some of the young militiamen were competitive, tried to do pull-ups, and began to compare the number of repetitions with each other......

A militiaman jumped down, rubbed his arm and said, "Twenty, my arm seems to be on fire, which is more tiring than martial arts practice." ”

"Look at Suo Xi, this guy is still persistent, and he has done more than thirty ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the militia on the horizontal bar did not hold his palm firmly and fell to the ground, and when he stood up again and held the horizontal bar again, he found that his arm was so sore that he could not lift it......

The dwarf Pigou laughed and said, "Haha, if you want to increase your strength, do you think it's that simple?"

Some militiamen couldn't help but be curious, and some shouted: "Boss Brute, teach us how to play with other shelves, no, how to train." ”

Pigou Brute Hammer glanced at the parallel bars, compared to the length of his arm, his face was suffocated, and he said.

"Let my half-elf brother teach you, he is the one who invented these exercises. yes, Loki. ”

Loki didn't give in, he was familiar with every militia here, and began to explain in detail the common exercise methods of the playground equipment, and some ways to play.

Horizontal bars and parallel bars are just the most basic, the wooden frame is like a fixed ladder, which can be used to hook the feet to practice waist and abdominal strength, and the thick sling is used for arm climbing exercises.

The most difficult thing is the ring.

Loki completes a series of movements such as up-and-down flips and static support on it, and the difficulty coefficient is not inferior to that of ordinary gymnasts.

Outsiders may only see the movements beautiful and beautiful, and when a militia also tries it, the iron ring can't help but tremble, and they know the difficulty of it.

After trying to explain the instruments, Loki only felt that his arm was slightly swollen.

The militiamen's arms were so sore that some of them couldn't even hold their weapons.

During this period, even the instructor Di Youer couldn't help but watch, and even tried a few instruments, and then praised his disciples with satisfaction.

Loki's expression was still as indifferent as ever, pulling the militia and the teacher Deyore to experience, this was only the first step of his 'adventurer fitness program'.

In the afternoon, while some militiamen were still surrounding the exercise equipment, the half-elves specially gave the teacher Deyour some axe throwing and spear throwing skills.

It wasn't until several weapon skills were mastered that Loki left the training ground.

He knew for himself that there were not many skills he could learn before he became a professional.

......

Loki returns to the weapons shop, only to find several Church Guard Knights at the door.

When the dwarf Pigou saw him, he told him that the 'Penny Sacrifice' had been waiting here for a while.

On the simple table and chair by the window, the dignified and beautiful priestess sat quietly with her back straight, looking out and wondering what she was thinking.

Loki said, "Hello, Penny Sacrifice. ”

The priestess smiled back with a smile before saying, "Congratulations, Loki." ”

"Congratulations to me, I'm just an ordinary adventurer. ”

Penny Priest smiled, "You are no ordinary adventurer who can resist the curse of the demons. ”

"And what happened to you recently, even some adventurer believers of Silver Flame are praising you, a half-elf adventurer with good strength, not only helped save the leader of the Iron Shield Adventure, but also captured an orc soldier alive. ”

Loki felt a little unusual, and secretly frowned and asked, "Is this just for this?" ”

Penny Priest quietly looked at the half-elf, a pair of beautiful eyes, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

"Are you interested in joining the church and becoming a member of the Silver Flame Lady?" she said.
