CHAPTER XIV

Loki was not frightened, and pulled out the short blade inserted on the wooden table with both hands, first carefully touched the blade of the long dagger, and then held the handle loosely with one hand, trying to dance a few times flexibly with his wrist.

The half-elf boy said solemnly, "I'm warming up. ”

But he was mentally calculating the time he could delay, probably less than three minutes, but he believed that it was better prepared.

"Ultron, use all the free computing resources to carefully analyze the movements just recorded, and clearly mark the essentials of joint muscle force in red font. Give you two minutes of your time. ”

"No, Master, more computing resources are needed, and the countdown to this task is 671 seconds. ”

"Let's pause the sonic system optimization resources and give me the task at hand. ”

Loki's afterglow swept the countdown of changes on the retina, 29 seconds, and after a while, the image was processed, and it was projected on his optic nerve, and through consciousness, it also had functions such as acceleration, deceleration, zooming in and out, etc.

After a decent warm-up for three minutes, the half-elf boy nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'm ready, although I may be slower, but I want to tell you that I remember every move you make." ”

"I can't wait. Arrogant half-elf bastard. ”

Olivia said as she spread her hands, following the example of a half-elf boy.

In a moment, Loki began to swing the short blade in his hand on the spot, and the sharp cold light swept in front of his eyes, and his movements inevitably made people see a little rusty, because he was much slower than the female dwarf.

Surprisingly, the overall sequence of his moves, as well as the essentials of his slow power movements, one after the other, almost replicated the way Olivia used the short blade.

The shoulder turns violently, the sharp short blade is cut out with a backhand, and when the strength is not exhausted, the wrist turns sharply, and the tip of the short blade thrusts downward.

While Loki was visually staring at the essentials of slow-motion motion frame by frame, and at the same time paying attention to the comparison of the short blades in his hand, he could personally feel the sharpness and practicality of these killer moves.

Duncan's round eyes widened, and his slightly open mouth fully reflected the shock in the Minotaur's heart, he undoubtedly knew very well about the female dwarf companions he usually got along with, although it was the first time he had seen such a slow dwarf dagger technique, but these moves made him very familiar.

A fine layer of sweat broke out on the half-elf boy's forehead, and after imitating all the movements, he also stuck the short blade on the wooden table.

"I have to say, little Loki, you really surprised me. Olivia clapped her hands rarely, and said with a smile: "But these are not enough, first forget the action just now, the use of the dagger is not a simple copy, you still need to learn from the basics." ”

The female dwarf finally recognized Loki a little, and she began to demonstrate in detail a set of basic ways to use the dagger, little by little to correct Loki's wrong habits, from the legs to the waist, shoulders and arms, the force movements have strict and smooth specifications. Loki certainly didn't waste this kind of opportunity, and he listened intently while recording the backup with a visual video.

"The dagger techniques you have learned are only the most basic professional skills - beginner dagger mastery, and of course there are some characteristics of dwarf dagger techniques. ”

Loki wondered, "Professional-level ability?"

"Yes, the vocational skills that ordinary people can learn, also known as basic skills, similar to sword specialization, bow and arrow specialization, etc., are just a little basic skills used in weapons. ”

"Of course, even if it's a basic skill, it's not to try everyone, just like you, your body is not strong enough, and you can't learn basic skills that require strength, such as axe specialization. ”

Loki asked the topic he was most concerned about, "Then how can you become a professional and practice this dagger every day to specialize?"

Olivia shook her head and said: "Your current ability can only be called a first-level apprentice, the apprentice is divided into five levels, from 1 to 5, every time a certain attribute of the body breaks through the limit, the apprentice will be upgraded by one level." To become a professional, you'll need to break through the limit of agility and agility four times. ”

"This is the experience summed up by all humanoid races in the continent, only by breaking through the limit of the four attributes, can you feel the power of blood, and be familiar with the blood power within the body, that is the real professional. ”

"Of course, these are too far away for you, you need to master the basic dagger now, and then replenish more food, only when you are an adult can you have a little chance of becoming a professional. ”

Loki's face was cloudy, it was like a difficult and unknown road in front of him, the unknown represented fear, but did he still have a choice? His identity was just a half-elf beggar who had to grasp any straw that floated on the water.

In addition, he also thought of a violent and cruel face, Quaid, who was said to be a failed professional, but even in the face of the murderous human trafficker leader, he had little power to resist now.

Olivia snapped her fingers, interrupting the half-elf boy's thoughts: "This is our deal, tell you the information of the professional, tell you the direction of your efforts, and the deal is complete." ”

"yes, but I'd like to ask some questions about beginner dagger mastery later, is that okay?"

The female dwarf waved her hand casually and said, "You have to take an inch, whatever you want." ”

Loki's face finally smiled, and at Olivia's impatient motion, he quickly said goodbye to the two and left.

The Minotaur Duncan frowned, and said with some confusion: "You are obviously very optimistic about him, why don't you keep this kid?"

Olivia sat back in her chair and said in a slow voice, "Remember the mission we came here for?"

Duncan nodded and said, "Well, investigate what happened here to see if it's a witch." ”

Olivia continued, "We only have twenty days, and while we're not sure if there's a witch in Fog Castle, this time it must be dangerous. If he was still alive when we left, I would consider taking him away. ”

......

The sky was already dark, and Loki was on his way back to the ruined house.

Loki was satisfied with the latest news about the Professional, at least with the answers to the questions that had plagued him for so many years, but he was faced with a new problem, the Bio Computer had consumed enough bioenergy, and if he wanted to make a difference on the way to becoming a Professional, he at least couldn't stay hungry all the time.

He used the money he stole today to buy some cheap food along the way, he kneaded the black bread into a tight little dough one by one, and then found a cloth bag to pack it together, as for the taste, it was not important to him for a long time.

When he walked to the perimeter of the dilapidated house, Loki saw a familiar figure again, a beggar in the seventh room, who seemed to be bringing back food for the injured Carré, and after finding that Loki observed him, he hurriedly bowed his head in fear.

"Boss Carré, when I came back just now, I saw that half-elf in the third room. ”

In the middle of the broken house, Carré was lying on a broken bed and eating a piece of bread, and when he heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "That bastard half-elf, sooner or later, I will crush him like a worm." ”

The other beggars in the seventh room were also very angry, but the beggar was even more frightened when he thought of the corpses on heaven and earth, "Boss Carré, that guy is very powerful. ”

"Killed none of us without blinking, why don't you teach him a lesson yourself when you heal from your injuries?"

Seeing the frightened looks of several of his fellow beggars, Carré said angrily, "Coward, sooner or later, let you see the means by which I teach him." ”

“.................. Go get me some broth. ”
