Section 6: Combat Style (Part I

In the midst of the disasters of the Whistling Night, the performance of the top management of Yintao City was unprecedentedly unanimous, without expressing any opinions or making any conclusions.

They only sent troops to protect the scene, fenced the scene with xiǎo wooden stakes to prevent anyone from entering or leaving, and also gave some food to the victims in the tent area to hang themselves - Townsend, as the perpetrator, was much more generous than the politicians, and had already sent people to secretly distribute money to the victims.

Townsend knew that this was not over, and the so-called aftermath of the politicians was actually a good stage, waiting for the final word to appear...... It seems that the determination of the top management of Yintao City to challenge the Alien Division Branch is very firm

The rumors were loud, and the gang members in the tent area became frightened birds from top to bottom, and most of the gang leaders disappeared.

The lvsexs, who could not slip away, became conformist in front of people, and they kept smiling all day long, as if they had lost the strength to support themselves, but in secret, especially at night, the hunluàn in the tent area intensified, and assassinations and brawls and the like were endless, but the scale and intensity were not large, and there was no organization in the slightest.

Townsend can't wait to stand up and cheer them on, you guys move hard, it's too grinding

The only good news was that Felix Boton, the adjutant hiding in the outer city, had been contacted, and the country thief had written a letter to Townsend - a badge with wax, a letterhead and signature in huā script, and a dark pattern and scent of the letterhead.

As the immediate boss, he first thanked Townsend for his loyalty, expressed his shock and condolences for the attack on "Wolf Blaine", expressed his approval and appreciation for the subsequent counterattack, and especially commended Wolff for his correct decision to stay in the tent area to observe the situation.

He also explained in the letter that he had reported the whole matter to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Highness's reply was very clear, that he wanted to reward Captain Wolf, and also suggested that Captain Wolf temporarily evacuate the tent area, and he would arrange for someone to pick him up all the way...... Who is His Royal Highness the Prince? is Wolfe's supreme boss, and even if his remarks are just gestures, people can't find any máo disease.

Felix's actions were timely, and his concern for his subordinates was on paper, but Captain Wolf Xiǎo definitely couldn't retreat now—the retreat was easy, but Townsend was distracted to deal with Felix, and if he disguised himself too often, he couldn't make it difficult to make a filling

Inadvertently, the deadline for the first link of Townsend's special promotion is approaching.

In the first part of the special promotion, the guidance period for the ten unsuccessful apprentices has finally ended.

The next day, prospective apprentices, who have been unsuccessful many times, will embark on the journey again to be rigorously tested by the promotion examiners. Whether or not Townsend can enter the second link of special promotion depends on their performance this time. As long as one of the ten people has a problem, Townsend's special promotion will be considered a failure.

This is a pivotal moment for Townsend, and some people inside and outside the club are also watching it.

In normal times, special promotions would attract a lot of attention, but the atmosphere in the West Coast chapter is tense right now, and everyone is cautious about what they say and do, so there is very little talk about it except for the people in charge of promotions and the apprentices' families.

Everyone didn't really forget, but chose to ignore it - Townshend's record was there, the ladder destroyed by him was not restored to its original state, and the second-level ability master Edward was still that miserable, how thick would the nerves have to be to turn a blind eye?

Edward was a member of the West Coast Chapter Seminary faction, and he was unlucky, and his friends certainly wouldn't be happy. If it hadn't been for the Honorable Branch President's greeting, I'm afraid Townsend would have been cleaned up by them a long time ago—in fact, the way they stared at Townsend these days was already very revealing, and it was logical that the entire training faction had developed a bad feeling towards Townsend .

The Combat faction and the Training faction are old rivals, but they don't show much enthusiasm for Townsend either. It is unknown what these people are thinking about, but Townsend is really in a state of indifference. The world of supernatural abilities is very realistic, so even those people from the Wallgrass faction can't talk to Townsend anymore, they used to do this kind of thing with ease.

Townsend felt that it didn't matter, because he knew the path he had to take. The West Coast branch is a good place, it's a little bit xiǎo, and it's impossible to eat and die here. With this kind of personality, you should have fun in a broader space. If things don't go well in the future or if the situation requires it, you have to come back and hug Datui, and it's too late to make up for it - at least Jacques is an acquaintance.

Not to mention, His Excellency the Jacques Branch President really remembered the incident of Townsend, because when he was walking, he passed by the Xiǎo courtyard where Townsend led his apprentices several times. The last time he passed, there was a dull sound of popping beans in the courtyard, and Jacques's seemingly innocent face suddenly changed, and he closed his eyes and stood outside for a while before leaving in silence.

This scene happened to be seen by Marcia, and she subconsciously walked in to remind Townsend if she wanted to prepare a soundproof ability cover...... But as she entered Mén, she saw Townsend putting the finishing touches on his apprentice, and remembered that this was his last lesson.

Judging from the posture and expressions of Townsend and the apprentices, there was no need to hide it.

At this time, Townsend was sitting under the eaves of the main building, his expression made Marcia feel unfamiliar, not the indifference that often Xingxing, nor the occasional cruelty and profundity, but an extremely rare seriousness.

Standing ten paces away, the beauties had the same expression, with drops of sweat rolling down their foreheads, and their breathing was not very calm, but they were all highly focused—even when Marcia pushed the courtyard and came in, they didn't look back.

"For ten days, you have learned to die and live, and I have also taught the liver fire, and now it is finally over. It was the last lesson, and you all saw it, so be it. Townsend gave Marcia a squint, and began to speak at the same time: "Before I finish, this is my last speech to you, which is the summary of these ten days. ”

Marcia suspiciously observed the expressions of the apprentices, trying to find signs of success or failure on their faces, but in the end she was disappointed, because the beauties seemed to have a mask on their faces, and there was no special god sè, and they all came out to make soy sauce - why did they specialize in this kind of skill of Townsend if they didn't learn anything else?

"Tomorrow, you will be tested by the examiners in the promotion hall, and according to the rules of the guild, I will not be there to observe. Actually, what can I do if I'm on the spot? Can I take the exam for you? With my popularity, it's almost the same as harming you. Townsend smiled slightly: "I said what I could say, and I did what I could do, whether you are taking exams or doing things with others in the future, you can't expect me to help." As long as you are a person who learns abilities, there will always be a day when you will go on the road alone, and you must give yourself confidence and goals. ”

The calm spirits of the beauties finally changed slightly, they were excited, apprehensive, and finally calmed again.

"Although your grades are related to whether I have completed the special promotion, I would like to remind everyone that you are taking exams for yourself, not for me, so don't think too much. After a pause, Townsend looked at his apprentices: "In this exam, I have only one requirement for you, that is, no matter what your grades are or what your state is, you must remember one word - free and easy."

"What does it mean to be free and easy? It is my style to win and lose to lose, and whoever does it is the apprentice I recognize."

Townsend stood up, his gaze slowly brushing over the faces of each of his apprentices: "I once said, ordinary mediocre NV people, I can't remember their names. So I hope that after the exam tomorrow, you will look up and walk into my house, say your name out loud, and let me remember."

"We will do it," the apprentices replied in unison, like soldiers: "Please wait with peace of mind."

"In that case, I'll go back to dinner, you can discuss the details of the exam, and rest early when it's over. Townsend nodded: "Also, remember to dress me pretty, otherwise you won't be able to enter my family." ”

After that, he ignored the apprentices and left the courtyard after exchanging words with Marcia. But the next ten Mei*nv always maintained a saluting posture, looking at him respectfully until he walked out of sight.

"It's so majestic, and this summary is also ingenious. Marcia wasn't stupid, she finally saw that Mén said, "Can you get through it all?"

"What do you think?" said Townsend, smiling mysteriously, and said nothing more.

"How many snacks do you have, it's not just them who will take the exam tomorrow, there are a lot of people. Marcia couldn't help but remind him: "Even if you are sure, do you know how many prospective apprentices who can pass are out of order because of their position and the atmosphere of the scene? ”

"It's useless to rush into the heat now, if they can do it, it doesn't matter if I'm there," Townsend shook his head: "I'm staying on the sidelines, on the contrary, I'm more likely to upset others." Besides, the ranking and the atmosphere of the scene are also a kind of examination methods, and the ability apprentice is not a huā in the greenhouse, this pressure should be able to withstand it, otherwise how can I work hard with others in the future?"

"You don't know, as long as you have the intention to interfere with the exam, there are many ways. Marcia sighed, "The more you are on the West Coast, the more evil you have. ”

"Why?" Townsend asked her.

"Ability is actually a very serious field, but the West Coast has a bad foundation. If you look at the city residents of Yintao City, you will know that they are completely two extremes of hun, obeying the rules, and that is all on the surface. At the suggestion of the Jacques branch, Marcia spent the next two days studying the information on the West Coast: "The local aristocracy and the derivative class are almost pathologically pursuing culture and cultivation, desperately trying to narrow the distance between themselves and the inland aristocracy, for fear that the inlanders will not recognize him. ”

"I feel this way," Townsend nodded, "just look at the architectural style of the city, regardless of the cost." ”

"Most of them are disguised in this regard, huā has spent a lot of effort and money, how can there be spare energy to open up the wisdom of the people?The literacy rate of ordinary residents in the city is extremely low, let alone those tribes outside......" Marcia's research was obviously not done in vain: "Most of the junior apprentices still have to worship the gods before the exam, and even the blood sacrifice happened a few years ago. ”

"The blood sacrifice is too much. Townsend frowned: "But I can understand such a thing as worshipping God." ”

"Why? I don't know about other realms, but it's impossible for God to pray in the realm of supernatural abilities. Marcia was born in an orthodox education, and this notion was deeply ingrained, and she looked at Townsend suspiciously: "Do you believe it?"

"These are two different things. Townsend shook his head: "For now, I don't think there is a god in the Realm of Abilities, but I also don't arrogantly oppose other people's belief in this." ”

"Why?" said Marcia, even more skeptical, "It's the right thing to do to express your beliefs." ”

"It's not expression, it's thinking violence, because you don't have strong evidence, you're forcing others to agree with your conjectures. When the disagreement between the two sides deepens, you will use other means. In this way, if you are strong enough, you will theoretically become a loner. Townsend said: "People get along with others, the most important thing is to seek common ground while reserving differences, to put it bluntly, as long as he helps you do things, you just turn a blind eye, who is raised by a father and mother, why be too serious?"

"I don't believe you're suddenly open-minded. Townsend's words made Marcia's heart swell with a lot of feelings, after all, she grew up in a family with different views, but she didn't show her own mentality, but asked Townsend with a smile: "What about the people who stand in your way? Can you seek common ground while reserving differences?"

"Asking for a ghost with the enemy, of course, is to put it down and say" Townsend replied with a smile: "You are stealing the concept and fouling"

With a smile, the two of them had completely put aside their worries about tomorrow's exam, and their relaxed attitude made the strangers and apprentices they met along the way puzzled. He's not nervous, he's clearly not a single apprentice has been replaced.

After a while, the two took a carriage back to their home in the outer city. But as soon as they entered Mén, Townsend and Marcia noticed that the atmosphere in the house was not right—the stewards and servants at Mén were nothing unusual, but the guardedness and nervousness of those close to them could not hide from their eyes

"What the hell is going on?" Townsend motioned to his men to close the various places, and then asked softly + the guards who rushed to the place.

"The leader has come with a mén, we don't know how he came, anyway, he just sat in the courtyard for no reason, and Vahu was also caught by him. Konoe said ashamedly, "We wanted to go up and save people, but we were instantly knocked down a large number of people......

"Instantly, it's not your fault, and it's a good job to keep quiet. Townsend nodded, and said to Marcia, "You and we don't have a time to stop." ”

"Get used to it. Marcia was unbuttoning the ability pouch one by one, and said nonchalantly, "What are you going to do?"

"I said big girl, you can learn a little" Townsend couldn't help but lament, the joke he had only said once Marcia remembered: "I'll go in first to see the situation, you guys have the poison and everything ready." ”

"Can't you review the new terms?" "Marcia snorted twice and pulled out a lot of strange things: "Your uncle, I want to see if that hun egg is so arrogant that he dares to come to my house to spread wild"
