Chapter 17: The Power of the Sword vs. The Dance of the Sword
Yuri's eyes were red and he threw a big branch into the Jingmei River, shouting at the dead river, but he couldn't dispel the feeling of grievance a little, but someone handed a chicken leg in front of him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Even if you decide where to point the long sword in your hand, you won't be able to lift the sword without filling your stomach first. ”
"Virgie......" Yuri said sentimentally, "I know what I'm about to say, and you certainly don't think it's a good piece of advice." Wherever the Holy Light shines, there is no room for you and me, and we really shouldn't have a wanted warrant issued by the Elven Nation......"
Virgi patted Yuri on the shoulder with relief, and smiled softly with a slight squint in his eyes, "It is not the duty of a knight to take every step with great precision. And assisting a stupid regiment commander to win victory under any circumstances can show the demeanor of a wise military advisor. ”
Yuri's eyes widened: "Won't you stop me from saving the princess?"
Virgy punched Yuri hard in the shoulder: "Hey, don't forget, I, the Reaper Soldier, would be more willing to contribute a clever plan to save people than to propose a killing strategy." ”
Yuri and Virgy are determined to rescue Princess Flora, and in this completely unfamiliar country, Prince Oloran is undoubtedly the best reinforcement.
When the clock struck midnight, it was drizzling in the sky. Yuri and Virgy pushed open the door to the Fire Lotus Tavern and slammed the slash on the wooden table, causing Auralan and his men to turn their heads as they were talking.
Yuri picked up a glass of beer on their table and drank it down, and said solemnly, "Since Princess Flora will start the final procession at dawn, then I will get straight to the point." If we want to rescue your sister, can you make it easier for us?"
Auroran said coldly, "I said I didn't want to see you again. ”
Yuri pulled Virgi and bent down without saying a word.
"It was our recklessness that drove the princess into danger, and we dare not expect His Highness to forgive him, but at least I beg His Highness to give us a chance to make amends. ”
Oloran's face was cold, his smile was quite disdainful, and he said, "You want to save Flora?"
"That's right. Since you love your sister, it means that our goals are the same. ”
Auroran slowly got up and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Who said we had the same goal? I had no intention of rescuing my sister. ”
Yuri's pupils shrank: "What did you say?"
"Flesh and blood affection is important, but it is not wise to weigh it with the fate of the country, even a fool knows that if you let your sister live, the country will fall into war, which is not wise at all!"
Virgil hurriedly said: "Prince Auloran doesn't have to worry, if the Moon Elf Xingshi asks for the guilt, you can just say that the princess was snatched by two unidentified freelancers." By pretending to be nationally wanted against us, we can get rid of the involvement. ”
"If things were so simple, there wouldn't be so many tragic stories about peacemakers in history!" Auroran's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly, "Not every mistake can be remedied, you might as well be quietly with the people of the royal capital to see how my sister's soul disappears in the cold waves of the Jingming River!"
Yuri glared at Auloran angrily: "As a result, you are just a coward who will not save your sister when she sees death! Your sister did not hesitate to violate the rules of the messenger of peace in order to save the motherland, and decided to die with her body, and you weighed the pros and cons for me at such a time!"
"It's not something that a rough freelancer like you can figure out. ”
"Yes, I really don't understand national affairs. There's only one thing I can understand. ”
Yuri picked up the smin and walked away, saying gloomily, "If I can't pull my friend when he is in danger, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
Virgi also turned around with a flick of his robe and left: "If you don't want to save your sister, let's just act on our own and promise not to have anything to do with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Oloran looked at the backs of the two and said loudly, "Stop! So you want to rob Flora with the strength of two people alone?"
Yuri proudly asked, "What, you think we can't do it?"
"I have great admiration for your adventurous spirit. "But it's clear that I'm not adventurous, and even if there's only one in 10,000 chance you're going to cause real trouble, I can't let you go." ”
Oloran stretched out his hand and said angrily, "Take down these two guys who want to destroy the ritual of returning to their destiny!"
Not only is he unwilling to stand in front of his sister like a man, and resist all disasters for her......
Do you even want to stop strangers who are willing to help you kiss your sister?
Yuri's battle intent erupted, and in the face of the two Sun Elf Sword Dancers who appeared behind him in an instant, he turned around and slashed with all his strength, and the sword pressure raised by the sword blade alone destroyed all the tables and chairs in the tavern, and also blew the sword dancer who was as light as a swallow high.
The sword dancer fell to the ground silently, and Yuri saw that one of his opponents was a small elven girl, and the other was a tall elven boy with flowing silver hair. The girl hid the blade behind her with a movement that was too fast to see, and said disdainfully, "It turns out that he is just a fool who only knows how to use brute force, is he worth our attack?"
The corners of the boy's mouth lifted: "Let's finish him in two paragraphs." ”
The girl threw a light mark crystal into the air, and the crystal recorded not an image, but a rhythmic dance music.
Then she and her companion shouted, "Sword Dance, Orchid Butterfly Shadow!"
"The Shadow of the Butterfly" is both the name of the dance music and the name of their sword moves. Yuri nervously clenched his slash, only to see the silver-haired boy whirling and dancing, and the silver slender double sword in his hand flashed and turned into a mess of flowers, Yuri only felt as if a gust of wind was blowing in his face, mixed with countless fragrant petals rolling towards him. Although the Dance of Swords is dreamlike, Yuri, with his vast combat experience, is well aware that every beautiful petal has the potential to cut a bloody wound on his body.
Only the top swordsmanship master can stab off the thousands of petals dancing with the wind in an instant, since it is impossible to disassemble all the opponent's sword moves, he can only rely on the brute force that the opponent looks down on to forcibly blow this gust of flower wind back!
Yuri roared angrily, "Flame Dance Foehn Sword Qi!"
The pitch-black flames turned into a powerful sword wind and swept backwards, forcing the boy to dodge and jump away.
Oloran exclaimed, "It turns out that this kid is the holder of the Mandate of Heaven of the Fire God Ignis?"
Could it be that the flames just happened to be able to restrain Luo Ying's colorful sword dance? Yuri was slightly distracted, blood splattered from his shoulder, and then a sharp pain came, and Yuri forcibly thrust the slash into the ground, barely standing and not falling.
"Hey, the shadow of the orchid butterfly is not only the fragrant wind of the orchid, but also the volley of the butterfly. You can't ignore me. ”
Yuri calmed down a little, and realized that when he swung his sword with brute force to blow the boy away, the girl swooped down from the air like a butterfly silently, and she was injured a lot in just one move.
The silver-haired boy slanted back the silver light double sword: "For the barbarians who have no attainments in the classical music of the Jinxi Forest, it is even more difficult to deal with us. ”
"That's right. Although our swordsmanship is a killing art, it is also an art. ”
The boy turned his sword again and galloped to the beat of the drum, and the girl leaped lightly and disappeared again into the shadows of the roof.
Yuri flipped backwards to avoid the boy's stab, and swung his sword to block the girl's jump kill, avoiding these two moves was already his limit. At the end of the first stanza, Yuri's calf and arm are struck at the same time, and the two sword dancers break away with one blow, standing still like curtain callers between stoppings.
Yuri struggled to his feet, vaguely guessing that the sword dancers weren't just playing the music, but that their steps were exactly the same as the rhythm of the fencing and the drums of the music, and that the music brought a sense of rhythm and made their moves more precise and coordinated.
If you can try to listen to the rhythm, you may be able to anticipate their offensive and find an opportunity to fight back.
The second stanza is played, Yuri listens intently, usually the enemy must focus all his attention on the visual, and now Yuri forcibly allows his hearing to dominate his movements, contending with the orchid and the rainstorm, and Butterfly finally finds the grotto to shelter from the rain after a lot of hard work, and unmistakably slashes out of the hand slash diagonally, and at the same time swings away the attack of the boy and the girl.
"Yo, it looks like you'...... I've finally found a little bit of the doorway. The girl said indifferently.
"But as a layman, trying to figure out the sword dance is extremely dangerous in itself. The young man's eyes were murderous.
Yuri continues to follow the notes, and in the next measure, which is extremely soft, is a soulful scene of butterflies and orchids meeting again after the rain, so Yuri's pace slows down, and the momentum of swinging his sword becomes soft.
However, the Sword Dancer did the opposite, slashing several wounds on Yuri's body with extremely fierce and ferocious stabs.
This is the second trap of the sword dancer.
When an enemy perceives the sword dancer's movements as in tune with the music and listens to the music with full attention, the music becomes an invisible cage that binds the enemy's consciousness with rhythm and melody, thus influencing his movements.
The sword dancer, on the other hand, can use a trick that is completely opposite to the style of the music.
So when Yuri didn't listen to music, he was only stabbed three times. When he was immersed in the music, he was stabbed ten times in a row.
Virgi said loudly: "Yuri, the other party's style focuses on a clever word, and if you want to use ingenuity to compete with them, you are simply attacking others with your own shortcomings." You've always been good at fighting hard, and your advantage over them is strength, and the most reasonable strategy to win this time is to be tough!"
My strengths...... Is it about power?
