Chapter 10: The Barracks (II)
The barracks are located on the west side of the town and are large enough to accommodate 500 people, but now, there are only 50 troops in the army, and some family members are scattered in the barracks.
When Romon arrived at the door, he followed the agreement with Richard to inform him at the gate of the barracks, and after waiting for a while, he was led in.
The barracks had its own protective towers and walled warehouses, but now, on the empty site, there were only a dozen soldiers who were not on duty practicing, and one of them was the squad leader Richard.
"Captain Richard, I'm here. Romon smiled and greeted him, looking close.
"Well, the soldier informed me, sit down. Richard Ben was still practicing swordsmanship alone, and then he stopped, his chest rose and fell a little, he took a deep breath, and calmed down from the intense exercise, "What do you think you should learn?"
"I want to learn everything, but I don't know what is most important. Romon stroked his hair, spread his hands, and put on a look of listening to the experts' advice.
"Then let's fight first, let me see how good you are. Richard nodded faintly, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, your short sword is still in the blacksmith shop, and it should be able to be fetched for you tomorrow." I'll go get you a wooden sword, and then let's get started. β
"Well, you can't always use a real sword in training. Romon casually agreed, clenching his fists with a look of excitement.
Richard was noncommittal, turned around and fetched two wooden swords for training, and handed one to Romone: "Also, this is your 25 silver coins, and there is your adventure card in it!"
He tossed another tinkling cloth bag and looked at RomΓ³n.
Romon took the wooden sword and the money bag, and flipped the money bag casually, but he couldn't feel how much was in it, and he wanted to open it to see, but suddenly felt that his neck was being stared at, and when he looked up, Richard held the wooden sword in his hand and held it straight to his throat, and he suddenly opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
"You've already lost!" Richard was not embarrassed at all, and looked as usual.
"You ......" Luo Meng was very breathless, his face turned red, and the words in his heart spit out from his mouth word by word, "But you haven't started shouting yet!"
"No, it's already begun," Richard shook out a beautiful sword flower with his backhand, put away his sword, stood on his sword, and said lightly, "I just said, I'll go get you a wooden sword, and then we'll begin." And you hummed in agreement. β
Luo Meng was speechless, and was angry with the other party's sophistry for a while. "And what does that teach me?"
"First lesson, use your brain well when fighting. Richard said, "You can only rely on your body to eat, majestic is majestic, but ......" snapped, the two wooden swords struck each other, Richard blocked with a backhand, and skillfully flicked Romon's attack outward, and immediately put him down.
Romon fell to the ground with his face down, and the bag of silver coins in his arms suddenly made his chest uncomfortable, and he looked uncomfortable, almost vomiting the mushroom soup he had drunk in the morning.
Richard smiled, stared at Romon on the ground and asked, "Why did you sneak attack just now?"
Romon flicked his hand back, retreated a few steps, and then got up, covering his heart with one hand, and pointing at the other with a sword in the other, his face was a little bad, but he still looked cautious, and his eyes were staring at Richard. After confirming that the other party had no intention of attacking, he said, "I didn't say stop, that is, I was still fighting, I was still fighting, how could it be a sneak attack?"
"Well, yes, the mind is quite flexible. Richard smiled faintly: "It's that I didn't think about it enough." β
Richard then walked briskly and struck again, swift and sharp, but in a few seconds, there was a soft snap, and the wooden sword struck Romon in the arm.
Luo Meng only felt that his arm was numb, and suddenly his arm became weak, and he couldn't use any strength.
But Romon held back the pain in his right hand, gritted his teeth, and immediately stretched out his left hand to catch the fallen wooden sword, but it snapped again, and his left hand was also beaten soft by Richard.
With a snap, the wooden sword fell to the ground of the training ground.
"Stop for now. Richard smiled.
"Okay!" Luo Meng's chest rose and fell, panting, and a wry smile appeared on his face, and then he took a long breath to calm the depression in his heart, shook his head helplessly, and nodded again, "Okay, pause, pause." β
"Hehe, let's sit down and talk. Richard smiled faintly, "Well, do you want to hear what I have to say about you." β
"Okay, just listen to it. Romon sat on the ground, his hands limp.
"You're of average physique, lacking in physical strength and explosiveness, but your body's coordination is worth training. Richard smiled: "In addition to this, the only thing that is commendable is that his brain is quite flexible." β
The soldiers here rarely have the intelligence to reach this level, which is the level of the earth to be admitted to a second-rate undergraduate university on their own.
"In a short period of time, it is difficult to train the physique after all, so you can only do your best. Richard sighed, a little helpless: "For you, the movement coordination surname is a direction worth working on." But if you talk about what can be done quickly, it should be a fighting idea. β
Romon listened silently, and his arms gradually recovered.
"However, you have a flexible brain, so this doesn't teach you. Richard continued, as if recalling the past years, looking a little lonely, "I also walked in the field of life and death a few times, and saw some life and death partings, so I naturally looked down on it. β
Romon waited silently.
"Come, stand up. Your arm should be able to move, too. After Richard finished recalling the past, he said, "There are many mistakes and omissions in your posture with the sword, and I will correct it for you." β
"But before you do that, tell me what you think. Richard said lightly.
"Well, if you want me to say it. When attacking, I will first determine the distance between me and the target, and then calculate my current attack range......" Romon thought about the wording, straightening out the ideas he could think of and not looking too cluttered.
"Well, you're really good, so tell me how to determine the range of the attack. Richard had a curious look on his face.
Luo Meng held the sword in one hand, and the flat lifting of the wooden sword was already a very heavy pressure on his soft arm, so that the sword body trembled slightly, "Regardless of the footsteps, if you just look at the upper body, my maximum attack range lies in the superposition of the length of the entire arm and the length of the sword." Then he held his sword in his chest: "And the range of attack that can be chosen naturally lies in this circle." β
"Well, it's not bad. Today I'm going to give you a correction of the frame you use to hold the sword. Richard smiled, noncommittal, and continued, "I'll tell you about the movement of your footsteps." β
Richard spoke for a long time, and he spoke very carefully, and when he talked about the use of the sword alone, he went down to the degree of force on each part of the sword body, from the tip of the sword to the blade. It wasn't until another guard came to inform him that it was almost time to be on duty, and then he left, leaving Romon to practice on his own, and telling him to come back tomorrow.
Romon practiced hard, sweating in the school yard, eating a simple lunch brought by the guards, and training until 2 p.m. before leaving the barracks.
After leaving the barracks, Luo Meng spent 10 silver coins to buy some food, although the original plastic bag food in the space, although there are still it, but it is too precious, Luo Meng is reluctant to eat it, he made up his mind, in the future, he will not eat this kind of food until the last resort, as for renewable peaches, it doesn't matter.
I bought some spirits, which were for disinfection, not for drinking, and some clean gauze, and some herbs to stop bleeding, and then calculated the money now, and it was not much more.
I went back to my room, counted the money, and pulled out my adventure pass to take a look.
This adventure card is only a temporary adventure card, but it also has a magic mark, although it is a very simple magic mark, but it also ensures that most people cannot fake it, and here, every time a task is completed, you can also record information in the mercenary union, although the information in the magic mark is very simple, but it can also prove the experience and qualifications.
Romon was very happy, this was the first time he had actually seen a magic object in this world!
After looking at it repeatedly for a moment, he put it in his own space.
During this week, Romon often went to be taught by Richard, in fact, after the first two days, Romon basically mastered the basic footwork and basic swordsmanship - in other words, the truly effective martial arts start with a few simple slashes, slashes, grids and so on.
After teaching Romon this, Richard refused to teach more, saying that he would wait until he was ready.
Because he is alone in this world, only strength can be relied on, Luo Meng is still quite diligent in exercising this basic skill, and does not think that low-level martial arts are useless
Before you know it, time has passed.
This time, a translucent data frame was summoned, and the data frame floated in his field of vision with a faint sense of light, and a large amount of data appeared in front of Qian Ming's eyes.

Skill List Name:

Although this week's training was short, there were two more basic skills in the skill bar, and it made Romon have a very different mental outlook. Originally, Romon had the vigor of a young man himself, as well as the natural and harmonious flavor of the druids who were close to nature, but now with a little training, he has added a sense of calmness.
Even if it is a cultivation that starts with the first training, it not only transforms the human body, but also transforms the mind.
Of course, in the past week, not only has the previous plant been digested, but a "blue grass" has been added, which is a very practical and marketable herb, an indispensable ingredient in healing potions, and the price is more expensive than other herbs
At this time, Romon could be open-minded, and asked Anson for a batch of seeds, and sprinkled all the newly emerged acres of land
October isn't the time to plant this seed, but it doesn't matter if you're in space.
Strictly speaking, the general growth cycle of blue grass is three months, in the space exactly four periods a year, the growth situation in the space is good, there is no insect plague, no disease, even if there is no space bonus, it must be high-quality, in this way, according to an acre out of 300 kilograms of hay, four periods a year, can produce 1500 kilograms, you know, the market price is a kilogram of 1 silver coin!
What a number, and when he thought of it, Romon was very satisfied
It seems that the happy time in this world is coming
While watching the seeds sprout and grow every day, Fafer and Nick, through difficult negotiations, finally persuaded their families, obtained permission, and prepared their work to go to the forest to collect wild goods
