After the party, the officials and nobles gradually dispersed in the night, leaving Al and the others to follow Leo, the city lord, to the small manor prepared for them.

This small manor is the property of a nobleman near Yuanshan City, and the reason why he was able to take it out happily was to make friends with Al and others, and maybe at some point, he could rely on this relationship to get some help from El and others.

When she came to this small manor, Al immediately saw Elise, who had disappeared for a long time at the drinking party, and she was lying on the sofa in the manor hall sleeping soundly at this time, and the sound made by Al and the others when they entered here did not disturb her at all.

Al looked at Eli who was sleeping directly on the sofa, looked at her bare snow-white feet, and then looked at her arms that were hugged together, Al frowned slightly, took off the coat on his body directly, and then stepped forward to cover Elisi's body, especially Elisi's snow-white jade feet, which were tightly hugged by Al in his clothes.

Seeing Al's movements, William and Oliphona pretended not to see it, and turned their heads to find their room.

Artoria, on the other hand, glared at Al fiercely, and left with her four guards without caring about anything else.

Only Leo and Hoggs, who were secretly thumbs up with Elby, were left, and looking at the smiling smiles of the two old men, Al suddenly felt the urge to try his archery skills with them.

Leo smiled at Al and took a few servants from the manor to buy some daily necessities for Al and the others.

At this time, Hoggs made a gesture to Al and walked into the back garden of the small manor. Waiting for Al's arrival.

Al followed Hoggs into the small garden and asked, "Uncle Hoggs." I don't know why you're looking for me here?"

Hoggs looked at Al, after a long time. There was a hint of a smile on his angular face, and then he slowly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, El has become a bloodline knight." ”

Al was in Sidehills when he became a Bloodline Knight, but he didn't like to make a big deal about it, so he didn't tell Leo and Hoggs about it.

Hearing Hoggs's words at this time, Al vaguely heard that Hoggs thought that he had broken through in Solangjoya, and these made no difference to El, so he didn't explain much, but directly acquiesced.

looked at Al and nodded. Hoggs's face suddenly showed joy, and then he said to Al, "I thought you could become a bloodline knight when I saw you before, but I definitely didn't expect you to be so fast, this is really beyond my imagination.

So I have a reluctant request, I want to try it with you, I wonder if you can promise me?

You must know that it is really too difficult to find an opponent in this distant mountain city, so please promise me.

In return, I can teach you my greatest combat technique, 'Sword Drawing'. I don't know if it's okay?"

Al has always been grateful to Hoggs, so even if Hoggs doesn't pay him, Al will agree to Hoggs's request. What's more, there is also a combat skill that is obviously stronger than 'Swift Star' and 'Sword and Shield' as a reward, so Al almost didn't think about it, and directly agreed to Hoggs's request for the competition.

Seeing Al nodding in agreement. Hoggs looked pleased, and immediately took a few steps back. Slowly pulled out the cross sword at his waist.

Hoggs has been trapped in the realm of first-class bloodline knights for many years, because he does not have a good bloodline breathing method. So Hoggs has always been slowly improving in a way that constantly sharpens himself.

Now he can be said to be standing at the pinnacle of the first-level bloodline knight, and he is only one kick away from being able to make the 'bloodline jump' break through to the level of the second-level bloodline knight, so Hoggs will immediately ask to fight with Al after seeing that Al has become a first-level bloodline knight, and help him break through with the pressure of battle!

Al looked at Hoggs who had pulled out his cross sword, and also pulled out the scorching sword that looked like an ordinary cross sword from his waist, and at the same time, the [Focus] state was turned on, and he was fully prepared!

"Al, you have to be careful!"

As the words fell, Hoggs let out a low shout, holding his sword in both hands, lowering his body's center of gravity, and the whole person was like a tiger descending from the mountain, rushing straight towards El.

Approaching the El, Hoggs turned his sword into a silver bolt and roared towards the El.

Seeing this, Al immediately retreated, and the scorching sword in his hand was pointed out again and again, in the [Focus] state, Al could see the various trajectories of the cross sword in Hoggs's hand, and each of his swords was pointed at the connection point of Hoggs's sword momentum, making Hoggs's sword momentum intermittent and unable to exert its true power!

Hoggs naturally discovered this problem, the light in his eyes flickered, and the cross sword in his hand suddenly turned into a Dao Phantom, directly forming a shield composed of sword shadows, and pressed towards El.

Seeing the sword and shield facing him, Al smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the burning sword in his hand also transformed into a debut sword shadow, and formed a shield, crashing towards Hoggs.

Battle Skill 'Sword and Shield' VS Battle Skill 'Sword and Shield'!

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the sword and shield that El and Hoges had shot dissipated together.

However, at this moment, Hoggs unexpectedly put his sword into the sheath and drew his sword with his backhand at Al.

Seeing Hoggs act like this, Al immediately thought of what Hoggs said before, which mentioned one of the strongest combat skills that Hoggs had mastered called 'Drawing the Sword'!

Thinking of this, Al immediately changed his forward action, his feet slammed hard, and the whole person quickly retreated backwards.

At this moment, a silver light bloomed from Hoggs's waist, and then Al saw a silver light pass across his cheek, and then a large tree behind Al was cut through the middle and collapsed.

A few hairs fell from Al's cheeks, and Al looked at Hoggs, who had returned the cross sword to its sheath, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Hoggs, is that sword just now 'sword drawing'?"

Nodding slightly, Hoggs said: "That's right, the sword just now is the 'Sword Drawing Technique', which I obtained from an alien who traveled from the Eastern Continent, and it can be regarded as my combat skill at the bottom of the box."

So you have to be careful, if you have any reservations, then I'm afraid you will lose badly. ”

As he spoke, Hoggs's eyes turned into feline-like vertical pupils, the surface of his skin produced tiger stripes-like lines, and his body swelled even more, and a powerful oppressive force bloomed on his body.

Seeing that Hoggs urged the power of the bloodline, Al finally stopped holding his hand, his eyes instantly turned green, and he directly turned into a half-elf and half-human state, and at the same time inserted the burning sword into the scabbard on his waist, and shouted to William, who had already come to see the excitement: "William, throw me my bow and arrow!"

I have to say that William is obviously an extremely smart person, and as soon as Al's words fell, William directly threw the metal bow and quiver placed beside him to Al, and laughed loudly: "I have prepared it for you a long time ago, just waiting for you to speak!"

Reaching out to take the metal bow and quiver, Al held the bow in one hand and carried the quiver on his back with the other, and then retreated again and again, shooting an arrow with each step back, and three arrows in a row, but it was an extremely difficult to master the skill of a beaded arrow!

"Woohoo!"

Looking at the three arrows that shot in a straight line, Hoggs didn't move, but opened his mouth and let out a roar, only to see a sound wave spread out with a visible trend, directly shaking the three ordinary arrows and falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Al bent his bow and arrow, and the emerald green light on his right hand holding the arrow flickered, directly turning the entire arrow into an emerald green color, which was one of El's bloodline abilities [Emerald Arrow]!

The right hand was released, and the emerald arrow turned into a shadow of light and shot straight at Hoggs's chest.

Seeing the arrow coming, Hoges drew his sword again, but saw a silver light that was three points more fiery than just now bloom and slashed across the emerald arrow, and directly split the arrow shot by Al into two halves from the middle, turning into two emerald green rays flying from both sides of Hoggs and nailing them to the ground, leaving two small pits that were not big but extremely deep.

Seeing that his [Emerald Arrow] was directly broken by Hoggs, Al did not show any disappointment, because he knew very well that it was impossible to defeat Hoggs with just one [Emerald Arrow].

So when Hoggs sliced the arrow through the middle, Al was already crouching down, his hands pressed to the ground, and the power of nature in his body poured wildly into the ground.

At this time, Hoggs only felt a vibration under his feet, and he immediately dodged without saying a word, but at this moment, a large number of thick vines came out of the ground and entangled towards Hoggs.

Hoges swung his sword again and again, wanting to cut off those vines, but under the urging of the force of nature, those vines have extremely strong self-healing ability and anti-strike ability, and without restraint, Hoggs could not resist the entanglement of the vines in a short period of time, and was gradually entangled by those vines.

There were more and more vines, Hoggs's movements became slower and slower, and his flexibility became less and less, and finally he was directly wrapped around his body by those vines, turning into a huge vine ball.

At this time, Al slowly stood up from the ground, only to see him gasping for breath, obviously those natural forces consumed him greatly, making Al feel a little tired.

Looking at the vine ball, Al smiled slightly, and said loudly to Hoggs on the other side: "Uncle Hoggs, if you don't come out again, this time it should be me who wins!"

Al's words fell, and a tiger roar suddenly came from the vine ball.

I saw a huge colorful tiger illusion appear behind the vine ball, and then a silver sword light came out from the inside out, and Hoggs jumped out of it with a cross sword in his hand. (To be continued.) )
