Because Jafar and the druid Rogers who was stationed in Riverdale were beasts, Link gave up his faster flight and rushed to Riverdale with them in the form of a white deer.
On the way, Link learns about the Soul from two druids. It is a ritual that allows magical creatures to divide a small portion of their power into humans, dating back to the Golden Age. Because humans at that time were the weakest of all species, according to the law of balance, the children of nature, the Son of Nature, the Soul of Creation, helped humanity through the darkest times. It can even be said that without the children of nature, there would be no human beings now.
From the War of the Gods, the relationship between humans and the Natural Alliance was far less friendly than in the primeval period, and the Ming of the Silver Age's cursed spirits made the twelve leaders of Inner 6 completely cut off contact with the Natural Alliance. Riverdale Town is close to the pillar of the earth, and most of the magical creatures are land attributes, whether it is an outsider or a local, as long as they swear under the Royal Highness of the Soul, they can get the blessing of the druid, and once the oath is broken, the spirit will also be invalid, which is why more and more people are turning to curse the spirit, using spells to forcibly deprive the power of magical creatures and transfer it to humans, so that no one cares about the side effects.
"Blessed...... I want one too. Link had just said it casually, but Rogers did.
"As a child of nature, you have been blessed by the gods, and no spirit can compare with the gifts of the gods. β
"Adults are life weavers, so it's not surprising that you don't know. Jafar, who was the leader in the front, joined the discussion, "Because the gods are the highest blessings, you can't have a soul." β
Isn't it, don't the children of nature have ghosts?
If it weren't for the deer form, Link's expression would have changed from β_β to ββ½β.
Running on the ground was nowhere near as fast as flying, and it was already completely dark when you arrived in Riverdale. To avoid arousing suspicion, Link asked Rogers to distract people in a high-profile role as a druid, and he and Jafar followed in human form to blend in with the crowd of onlookers.
Gonzalez was a man who had seen the market, and he was not the slightest surprised that Link had brought back a magical creature, and volunteered to help when he learned that he was going to learn swordsmanship. As a result, Jafar was left in the tavern room by Link to take care of Su Wu and Yuan Ye.
Thankfully, it wasn't time to go to bed yet, and Link, led by Gonzalez, went to the eastern neighborhood and knocked open a single-story house next to the city walls. The owner of the house is a sloppy middle-aged man, probably because of poverty and the pressure of life, he looks a little older than his actual age, but his eyes are quite bright.
Looking up and down at the guests who had suddenly visited, the man yawned and asked if he had come to learn swordsmanship.
The appearance of the Enlightenment NPC was a bit of a surprise to Link, and in his opinion, even if it wasn't like Iris, it should be neatly dressed and self-disciplined. This guy looks like a street thug, a ruffian.
"Don't look at him like this, but a veteran of the Northern War. All the militia in the town went under his direction. β
Oh~ This is impressive. The undead are terrible opponents, not only physically, but also indelible damage to the heart, as a soldier who fights the undead and comes back alive, there should be some real skills.
"The old rule, ten silver coins. The man asked for ten silver coins in one mouth, which made Link's newfound favor suddenly fall to the bottom.
Just as he was about to pay out of his own pocket, Gonzalez took the lead and threw a cloth bag directly.
"Thirty silver, teach him the basics of swordsmanship. β
"That also depends on whether you have qualifications, you can say it in advance, I can't refund if I can't learn. With a sweep of his money bag, the man turned around and went back to the house and took out two wooden swords and an oil lamp.
Gonzalez handed the wooden sword to Link and told him to watch carefully at the sword master's movements.
The middle-aged man held the sword in one hand, lightly buckled it on his forehead, and when he put it down again, there was no longer a hanger in his eyes, and the momentum of the whole person changed. Unlike Aris's dazzling light, unlike Hull's aggressiveness, and unlike Artis, who is as sharp as a blade, ordinary and extraordinary, he is a soldier who has experienced the test of life and death, and gives people the feeling that he is brave and unhesitating.
Raising the sword and swinging it out, it is so simple that there is no trace of skill, it is an ordinary sweep. Then there is the vertical slash that cuts straight down, and the third move is the thrust that rushes forward, which is really basic swordsmanship, and the foundation can't be more basic.
After demonstrating these three moves, the swordsmanship instructor who turned around turned back into a decadent uncle, sat on the wooden pier, and asked Link to do it again.
It looks easy, but it's hard to do, but with archery training, Link is slightly better than a newbie who is new to it for the first time.
When he repeated the three movements, the middle-aged man shook his head: "The movements are weak and weak, only the form and no god, you think it is cutting melons and vegetables." If you exert a little more force, you can cut off the bones and muscles with a sword, and with your strength, you can't even pierce the leather armor. β
As he spoke, the man picked up a thigh-thick piece of wood from the ground and placed it in front of Link, telling him to split it like a chopping wood.
Link abandoned his wooden sword and pulled out the longsword that Gonzalez had made for him, raising his hands above his head and slashing hard. With a "click", the iron long sword only slashed into an inch, and it was still stuck.
It's really back to before the liberation, there is a god-given power to be able to fight and add to the BuFF, and the physical agility has been improved under several days of high-intensity training, but this strength has not been practiced because the two talents are not strength-based.
Link glanced at Gonzalez, he didn't laugh or show anything. Glancing at the sword master again, he got up and walked over, pulled out his jammed longsword, and waved Link back.
Sweeping, slashing, sprinting, or those three moves. The stake was cut twice in the first blow, then cut into a cross in the second, and with the third blow, the stake that remained cut was nailed into the stone wall by Link's sword.
"When you can practice this course, when will you pass. After saying that, he picked up the wooden sword on the ground and went straight back to the house.
Rely on it, Lao Tzu is not a power type!
Link complained in his heart expressionlessly.
Gonzalez helped remove the sword from the wall and patted Link on the shoulder comfortingly, "There is no shortcut to physics, you can only bury your head in hard work and rely on proficiency to master skills." β
"What about the cheat, this is ......," Link couldn't help but complain.
"What did you say?" Although the language of the illusion was unified, the foreigner could not understand the meaning of the cheater, and Gonzalez was confused.
βtrinetbsp;β Now Gonzalez didn't understand it even more, Link was depressed, didn't want to explain more, and swung his sword vigorously.
The mechanical training continued until dawn, when Jafar approached him through a contract connection, saying that the man who had slept in the tavern had woken up and wanted to see Link.
Su Wu? Or Yuan Ye?
Link had to stop his practice and return to the tavern, and before entering the room, Gonzalez warned Link not to say that he was a child of nature until he was sure he was trustworthy. Even if that person is his friend, a relative.
It was Yuan Ye who woke up, and as soon as he saw Link, he rushed forward, hugging and thanking him.
Unaccustomed to such contact with people, Link pushed him away without a trace. Because Jafar was present, it was inconvenient to speak, so Link asked him to stand guard outside the door.
"Why are you back again?"
"This ...... Although I slept for more than ten days, it was no big deal, anyway, the doctor told me to stay in bed to recuperate, do I have to stay if I don't sleep?"
It's not a big deal? Lin Li didn't say that his organs were showing signs of failure? Link decided to call his sister next time he went back to reality, and beat him up if the kid was playful.
Yuan Ye's eyes lit up when he looked at Gonzalez, he had been playing for a few months, and it was the first time he had seen such a high-level player, at least he was an expert. It seems that there are thighs hugged.
Gonzalez was very calm, and sat down on the bed with the attitude that you don't care about me.
"Hey~ brother, how long have you been playing this?" Yuan Ye was completely familiar, and his brother screamed quite smoothly, you must know that although he and Link had met a few times, they had never spoken.
"Two days. β
"Two or two days?" Yuan Ye was taken aback, the game was found at his girlfriend's house, and he thought that Link was an experienced veteran, otherwise he wouldn't know the children of nature who rarely communicate with humans.
"If Lin Li hadn't come to me to cry, I wouldn't have known about the existence of this thing. Link's expressionless complaint made Yuan Ye very embarrassed to steal the package, but fortunately Link gave him face and didn't say it in front of outsiders.
"Let's talk about the short things in the parents. Gonzalez interjected, "How did you get caught by the necromancer?"
That's exactly what Link wanted to ask.
"It took me three months to get familiar with the game, and I finally got mixed up until I graduated, and when I heard that there was an ancient tomb in the hills north of the town, I ran to join in the fun and see if I could pick up the slack. β
Gonzalez stroked his forehead, didn't this kid know that there were undead haunts in tombs, mines, and dungeons, more dangerous than orcs, night elves, and even demons, and the undead were the enemies of all living creatures. How the hell did he get to the rank of veteran?
Link's face didn't get much better, because he didn't say anything in the end because of his personality.
"By the way, I remembered a strange thing. Yuan Ye clapped his hands and said the reason why he had been arrested for so many days and did not die, "I went into the ancient tomb with other adventurers, and was caught by the necromancer hiding inside, who was going to kill me, but suddenly said something 'Thread of Fate' and then locked me in a cage and ignored me. β
Didn't Hull say that there was an intersection of fate between me and Frost and Han, why did I get involved with Yuan Ye again? Hmm...... He's Lin Li's boyfriend, and he does have some connection with me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this game.
Link was taken aback by his own thoughts.
Hell, the game is getting more and more spooky.
"What's next for you?"
"I'm going to keep upgrading. Gonzalez's question surprised Yuan Ye, even if it is a live-action game, it is mainly about upgrading.
"Still here?"
"Can't you?"
"Of course not! You've been upgraded to a veteran, you should go to the corresponding map, and this time you encounter a necromancer who has crossed the ranks, which is a punishment for staying in the novice village out of the ranks. Gonzalez told the truth about Yuan Ye's distress.
