Chapter 2 Micah
Five years later, the Shadow Forest
There is peace in the forest, and red-billed finches stop on branches to comb their feathers. www.biquge.infoSuddenly, there was a strange noise, and the red-billed finch flapped its wings and flew up.
The sound is made by a wire cable. The finger-thick iron rope was tightened and straightened, making a gurgling sound, and was pulled very hard. A teenager desperately held on to one end of the rope, put his foot on the ground, and pulled back a little.
The other end of the rope swayed back and forth in the water, and was pulled by the big guy caught in the water. The boy gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, I'm going to catch you today!" The boy was half-naked, revealing his lean upper body, which was tanned because he was often in the sun. The boy's body is covered with scars, and although the marks have become faint due to time, the dense coverage of the whole body also makes the scalp tingle.
The boy pulled back step by step, and the guy he caught with the iron rope struggled even harder. The splash was all over the sky, and the whole lake seemed to be about to be overturned. The young man couldn't help but be happy when he saw that it was moving so loudly, and he knew that the more this guy fluttered, the more scared he was.
The boy's waist sank, and he pulled back sharply, taking five steps back, each step kicking a deep hole in the ground. He suddenly let go, the iron rope slid out, and the guy in the lake escaped more than ten meters.
The teenager is very familiar with the way of hunting, hunting is not to catch, but to release, if blindly competing with the prey, may cause both sides to lose, this release is to relieve the pressure of the iron cable, to prevent the sling from breaking, the second is to relax the prey. Trying to catch your prey is never when the prey is at its most alert, but when it is at its lax.
When the iron cable was pulled away by the big fish in the lake for more than ten feet, the young man suddenly grabbed the iron cable, this time with all his strength, the sliding iron cable grinded the young man's hands red, and blood splashed out. He gritted his teeth, twisted his body, slung the rope on his shoulder, and rushed forward with his head down. The guy who was caught jumped out of the water with a bang.
It was a big yellow fish, the size of a small boat. It has brown markings and glittering scales that are as hard as rock. The moment the big fish was pulled out of the water, the boy pulled it to the shore with all his strength.
The huge yellow croaker slapped its tail on the sand, shaking the ground one after another, so you can imagine how strong it is.
“...... I'm going to ...... I'm going to catch you, because ...... I have to be a knight!" Mica threw the big fish over his head and slammed it into the ground.
Outside the town of Starter, the Knights of the Lionheart have been stationed here for more than a year to guard against the beasts that infest the Dark Shadow Forest. Red flags fluttered over the camp, and a group of knights drank wine and held a banquet on the camp.
"Captain, Kid Migana won't really be able to catch the Yellow Rock Fish, will he?" said a long-haired knight.
An obese knight took a sip of wine and said, "It's impossible, the Huangyan fish is huge, and seven or eight adult men can't submit it." How could a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child be. ”
A silver-haired knight laughed, "Don't underestimate Micah, he's no ordinary child. Having lived in the forest all year round, his five senses are amazing, and he is the best hunter I have ever seen. ”
The others said: "Xinmu, you are too enthusiastic about Micah, you just like to say good things about Micah. I don't know what you think you're trying to do with him...... Haha"
The head of the regiment, Su Ke, put the finished wine glass on the table and said, "A good hunter is not necessarily a good knight, and a knight is not something that ordinary people can do. ”
Xin Mu nodded and said, "Commander, what you said is true. ”
Looking out of the window, I saw a boy standing outside the camp with a yellow rock fish much larger than him. Xin Mu couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "Commander, Miga did it, he caught the yellow rock fish." ”
Micah put the yellow rock fish down and spread it out in front of the regiment leader, Suks. Miga said: "Captain, I caught the yellow rock fish. I can be a knight. Micah's clothes were covered in dried mud and red blood, as if she had just crawled out of the mud.
Sux looked up and down Micah, "I thought it would stump you and dispel you. I didn't expect you to actually do it. But Micah, you're not fit to be a knight. Becoming a knight is too dangerous and hard. ”
Mica clenched his hands into fists and said, "I'm not afraid, the head of the regiment, please accept me." I'm willing to do any dirty work, as long as you make me a knight. ”
Xin Mu persuaded: "Commander, you can let Miga be the pawn and try it." If not, it's better to get rid of him again. ”
Micah looked at the head expectantly, but the head shook his head.
Commander Su Ke said: "Becoming a knight has to start training before the age of ten, and you have missed the best time to train to become a knight. It's true that your physical fitness is far superior to that of children of the same age, but you missed the opportunity to learn the "Seven Arts of Knighthood". I'm sorry, Micah, let's go. I'll buy your fish for thirty silver tiger coins. ”
"I don't need your money!" the last hope was dashed, and Micah's body seemed to be emptied. For a moment it seemed as if he could not hear anything, and he could not see anything. Like walking back home.
Xin Mu said: "Commander, you seem to have gone a little too far. ”
Sux said: "Xinmu, you should know how cruel it is to become a knight, this road is full of pain and hardship, and there are countless knights who have died in battle. ”
As if his strength had been drained, Mica walked aimlessly, and before he knew it, he came to the River Bray outside the town. The Bray River flows quietly and the water surface is as smooth as a mirror.
Five years ago, his father picked him up from here. My father died three years ago, leaving behind my frail sister. Since then, Micah has secretly vowed to take good care of her sister.
"That's right, sister" The thought of her sister lifted Miga's spirit again. "I can't be depressed, I still have to treat my sister. He ran to his usual training place and drew a rusty iron sword from behind a rock. He stabbed his sword out abruptly, twitching the air with a humming sound.
Miga clenched the rusty sword in his hand and said, "Even if you don't accept me as a servant, I won't give up." Basic Swordsmanship - Patrol Force. The figure turned, swung vigorously, constantly changing its sword moves.
This patrol sword technique is the most popular basic sword technique in the Atlantic continent, although the tricks are simple, but it is very capable of exercising the body and constantly strengthening.
To put it bluntly, the essentials of patrol swordsmanship are to swing the sword, constantly swinging the sword. The more times you swing the sword, the faster the power travels around the body, hence the name "Patrol Swordsmanship".
Even this basic swordsmanship is not easy for Micah to learn. When Micah thought of the teacher who taught him the art of patrolling swordsmanship, a warm feeling filled his heart. That person may be one of the few people who cares about him other than his sister
Mi Jia accepted the sword move, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "Although it is the most basic swordsmanship, some practice is better than nothing." "Mica senses the flow of swordsmanship, although it is a simple swordsmanship, but fortunately, his swordsmanship is growing a little.
Once Micah began to cultivate, he forgot about the time, and only thought about how to swing this swordsmanship. The sweat in his body moistened his clothes little by little. Before you know it, the night is gradually enveloping.
Boom!
Just as Micah was about to swing the sword down, there was a sudden out-of-tune beating in his heart.
"What's going on? No, is it tonight again...... Is it the full moon night of the month again?" Micah turned his gaze a little, casting it into the night sky.
A large, round moon hung high above it.
Knock! Knock!
The beating of the heart became more and more intense, everything in the field of vision seemed to be dyed blue, and a feeling of nausea welled up in the heart. Micah threw his sword aside and ran in the direction of his home.
"No, it's going to happen again!" a black mist emerged from Micah's body, gradually enveloping him. His mind was blurred.
Although his body staggered and he was unsteady on his feet, he still managed to pull himself together. If you lose your mind here, the townspeople will be finished. As soon as Micah thought of the damage he had caused when he lost his mind, he took a bigger stride towards his home......
