Chapter 28: The Least Thing to Discard
The snow fell until noon, and then the reluctance subsided, but as soon as the snow stopped, the wind became colder and colder. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Instructor, I'm back. Alan pushed open the door to Ballon's office with a chill.
Ballen sat by the charcoal fire and wiped his long sword with a piece of fine deerskin, and did not look up, but answered: "Well, come in and sit." ”
Alan did not sit down, but walked up to Ballon, knelt on one knee, supported his right chest, bowed slightly and said, "Instructor, please teach me how to become a guardian." ”
The movement in Ballon's hand froze, and he continued to wipe the long sword as if he hadn't heard it, and in the center of the cross-shaped golden sword grid, a crescent-shaped Ordar Divine Stone shone slightly, and the fine and complex lines covered the sword body, and the frost-like blades on both sides were dazzling in the firelight.
"I'm just a high-ranking knight, and I haven't even awakened myself. Alan, I can't teach you."
"Then, ask the instructor to teach me how to advance to a high-level knight. Alan was still on one knee, not moving.
As if he hadn't heard, Balren continued to meticulously wipe the sword in his hand. For a moment, there was only the crackling sound of the charcoal fire burning, and the slight hum of deerskin brushing against the sword. Other than that, there was no other sound.
The clock ticked by, from noon to evening, and the setting sun shone through the window into Ballon's office. Reflected in the charcoal fire in the house, it turned into a wonderful gold, and reflected on Ballen and Alan who knelt like a statue.
"Alan, what do you think is the last thing you can't discard as a knight" Ballen slowly tucked his sword into his sheath and stood up in front of Alan.
Alan was stunned, this sentence was what Christine said to him when she first met him. However, he was interrupted by his ignorant self.
"It's... chivalry. Alan hesitated for a moment, then replied cautiously
What Alan didn't expect was that when these words were spoken, what awaited him was Barren's long silence.
"Get up and come out with me. Ballen's voice was emotionless, and he walked out of the office with a long sword, and Alan slowly stood up, although he had good stamina, but after kneeling on one knee for so long, his body was still a little unbearable. Seeing Ballen walking along the corridor in the direction of the training ground, Allen felt a little happy in his heart, and it seemed that his answer just now was right. Seeing that Balren had gone away, Allen hurriedly chased after him.
The sunset on the horizon gradually dissipated, and the town of Delta slowly sank into the night, and on the gloomy training ground, Ballon, wearing only a coarse cloth undershirt, stood in the middle of the training ground with a sword in one hand, completely unafraid of the cold wind.
Alan chased after Ballon, "Instructor, you want to"
With a bang, Ballen hit Allen in the abdomen with a sheathed long sword, and the training armor of the middle-level knight was a half-breastplate, and the abdomen was not protected at all, and a huge force knocked Allen out of the air and fell heavily in the snow.
"Ahem, instructor, what are you doing..." Alan resisted the pain in his abdomen and stood up from the snow.
"Alan, you have no idea what the last thing a knight should abandon is. ”
"Isn't it?"
"Draw the sword"
"Instructor!"
"Draw your sword, knight!"
"Instructor...・Okay..." Alan thought to himself, since it is not chivalry, what should it be, it seems that Ballen wants to try his martial arts, and the blow just now Ballen should still be merciful to his subordinates, but when Ballen made a move, he was completely defenseless, this time it was a scabbard, what if it was a sword blade? Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but be a little afraid. Seeing Balren looking at him expressionlessly, Allen had no choice but to draw the long sword at his waist and silently mobilize the power of Odar on the sword, and a faint green light pattern covered the sword body.
Balren looked at Allen with a serious face, but he kept shaking his head silently in his heart, he knew why Allen insisted on becoming a guardian, Allen just wanted to awaken, and he didn't know the meaning of the guardian itself. Like a recruit about to go to war, he has no determination. 'Alan, if you go on like this, let alone the Guardians, you can't even advance to the High Knights, determination alone is not enough. Ballen sighed inwardly.
But Alan didn't know what Balren was thinking at this time, and he was engrossed in recalling the martial arts that Christine taught him, plus he was trained to use the Divine Martial Arts in his hands, Alan even believed that he could bargain for a move and a half in Ballon's hands.
"I'm going to make a move" Ballen groaned expressionlessly, and then strode towards Allen, and then raised the long sword with the scabbard and slashed it with a sword, which is the most common move in ordinary martial arts, slamming and slashing, a martial art common to knights and swordsmen, Ballen is a high-level knight, and this move is also quite imposing.
Seeing this, Alan immediately raised his long sword to block, and tried to use the Odar power on the sword to resolve Ballon's strength, seeing that Balren's scabbard was about to hit Allen's sword body, but the scabbard changed its trajectory strangely in the middle of the road, and hit Allen's wrist hard, even if it was protected by armor, Allen's hand was still in sharp pain, and the long sword fell out of his hand in response, dissipating all the brilliance and falling to the ground with a bang. The next moment, Allen's abdomen was hit hard by Ballon, and the whole person flew upside down and was planted in the snow.
Balren walked up to Allen who was struggling to get up expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Allen, you still don't know what the most important thing you can't discard as a knight, you don't even understand such a simple truth, it's delusional to want to advance, think about it, come to me again." With that, he turned around and walked towards the office, and as he walked, he said in a loud voice: "There are many things, and determination alone is not enough. ”
Alan struggled to get up, watching Ballon's figure fade away, and muttered to himself, "The last thing you can't discard..."
Night shrouded the town of Delta, pedestrians have returned home, Crete put on a shabby cloak and prepared to set off for the Mage Tower, although it is not yet the agreed time, but Crete has too many questions in his heart, last night Kabensis told him the legend of the fifth main god, but only the beginning of the story came to an abrupt end, the follow-up content he was too curious, plus the old man gave himself the stone is actually what the Holy Spirit Goblin, which makes Crete feel more and more that Carbence is far from being a crazy mage.
The floor where the old mage lived was unusually cluttered, but Crete knew it well, and walked around the mess of bottles and cans to Cabensis, who was sleeping on an old rattan chair. Crete tiptoed to find a mage robe, lightly covered Carbensis, and then did it in front of the alchemy table, his task is actually very simple, as long as he helps Carbforth prepare the raw materials, the real complex synthesis stage is the old mage himself. Today's alchemy table was cleaned, and the delicate and heavy magic book that the old man took out of his bosom last night was placed. On the spellbook, there was a messy, dirty gray feather.
