Chapter 2 Martial Arts (Rorschach)

The knights of Eitleta are known to be artificial. At the end www.biquge.info of the Second Age, Anthony St. Pendragon led his mage group to carry out a large-scale bloodline fusion experiment, and almost all the demonic beasts at that time were extracted bloodline, and all humans were accepted by bloodline fusion.

In the beginning, the power of bloodline fusion was violent and dangerous, although it greatly increased the average combat power of humans, but after all, it was not the power of humans themselves, and the conflict of bloodlines and uncontrollable magic shortened the lifespan of all people - the average human life of that era was only thirty or forty years old.

Later, the Augustan Empire reached an agreement with Vico, the god of war, that humanity would take the sect of the god of war as the only state religion, in exchange for the help of the god of war, and the god of war blessed everyone, so that the human bloodline had the power to contain everything. This power "forged" the iron hooves of the Augustan Empire, and the Imperial Knights, who terrified the races, nearly unified the continent in the Third Age - if there were no demons to find fault.

After more than 10,000 years of reproduction, the bloodline of human beings has been very mixed, in fact, almost all people have thousands of bloodlines of demonic beasts in their bodies, generally speaking, human knight apprentices exercise their physical bodies, so as to temper their spirits. When they temper their spirit (or faith) to the point of incomparably stronger, they will naturally awaken their bloodlines and become full-fledged knights.

Usually, under natural conditions, this naturally awakened bloodline is the most suitable for that person, but the bloodline itself is also strong and weak, and there are always people who don't like the bloodline that is most suitable for them, so what should I do? In fact, seven thousand years ago, in the middle of the Third Age, there was a legendary knight living in the Eastern Continent, who did not exercise according to ordinary physical strengthening, but imitated the black dragon by observing (this guy was super lucky, he raised a black dragon), and created a set of strange and powerful movements, this set of actions was matched with that person's visualization of the black dragon, and finally in the great mental pain, he successfully awakened the blood of the black dragon.

That set of actions is the root of the Oriental martial arts - [Black Dragon Xingyi], and later, this set of actions and perceptions of the door was passed out, and there were a group of guys who awakened the black dragon bloodline, and now, human beings finally knew that they were actually able to control their awakened bloodline, so, under the pursuit of many knights, countless martial arts were created: [Green Dragon Fist], [Ghost Tiger Xingyi], [Sky Fox Dance], [Phoenix Tour], [Water Bird Play]......

These martial arts are good or good - although the cultivation process is painful, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to awaken the corresponding bloodline, but they have one of the biggest flaws, that is, because the bloodline awakened by them is not suitable for themselves, so it is extremely difficult for the martial arts knights to advance, and this disadvantage has led to a great controversy over whether to use martial arts. In the end, after the division of the Augustan Empire, it unconsciously became a situation where the knights of the Eastern Continent admired martial arts, while the knights of the Western Continent went with the flow.

Of course, just like many mages' unique self-created magic, most of the martial arts are controlled by the sect families of the Eastern Continent, so it is difficult for people in the Western Continent to learn if they want to.

――――

Although there are very few people in the Western Continent who learn martial arts, Rorschach is one of them.

On the day he decided to put on a mask to punish evil, Passion helped him when he lost his sight.

"Where are you taking me?" asked Rorschach.

"Go see your teacher. "[Enthusiasm] pulled Rorschach and walked in the alleys of Sunset City.

At this time, dawn had just cleared the sky, but for Rorschach, he had only eternal night.

"Teacher?" said that, Rorschach, who had just experienced this kind of dazedness, unexpectedly felt relieved.

Is it because someone is leading him?

"Of course, while looking up at the stars is important, strength is also important, and you're still too weak. [Passionate] deep voice took on that mocking frivolity again, "Besides, you're blind now, you can't even walk, and you want to punish evil, don't make me laugh!"

"......" Rorschach fell silent, and only the sound of their footsteps remained in the air.

After a while, [Enthusiasm] broke the silence, sighed slightly, and said, "The first time I saw you, I noticed the loneliness in you that was out of place in the world. I saw you being beaten by the gangsters, and I watched you look disgusted and lonely. In fact, Rorschach, is it because of your loneliness that you want to be a messenger of justice?"

"I don't know. Rorschach replied uncertainly.

"No matter what kind of person you are, little ghost, anyway, I originally wanted to be a night watchman because I felt lonely and helpless, I wanted to be strong, I wanted to attract the attention of the public, I wanted to be a hero. However, you must know that if there is no enlightenment, loneliness can both promote justice and ignite evil ......" [Enthusiasm] recalled his past and said, "Now, the little kindness in your heart allows you to help others, but that is just a seed, you need to take good care of it and water it correctly, so that it can slowly grow into a big tree, otherwise, the wind and rain of this world will make him die easily." Of course, it will be very fortunate to do this work alone, but it is different to have someone to guide you. ”

"Will you guide me?" Rorschach asked.

"I won't ......" [Enthusiasm] smiled bitterly, "What qualifications do drowning people like me who are struggling in the world to guide you, I will be content with an illusory peace, and I can also accept an ideal country built on lies." But you're different, aren't you? Rorschach, your heart is going to be nobler, so I'm going to take you to your teacher. ”

"Who is he?"

"An old friend, a martial arts master who lives in seclusion in Sunset City, ah, by the way," the seriousness is over, and [enthusiasm] reverts to his old mockery, "He's just like you, he's also a blind man, poofhahahahaha!"

"Bang!"

At this moment, a door in front of the alley suddenly opened, and an old man walked out.

He was dressed in a loose white cloth robe, with white hair and two long white eyebrows that almost hung down to his mouth. The old man closed his eyes and said lightly, "I can hear you, Hugh." ”

"Ah......h ”

After a moment of silence, the white-haired and white-eyed old man smiled gently, but said terrible words in his mouth: "Hugh, if you dare to laugh at the blind man again, the old man will cut off your arm." ”

"Ahaha, no, no, how can I laugh? I respect the blind the most, right, hey, little ghost?" [Enthusiasm] winked at Rorschach, but how could Rorschach, who couldn't see it at all, cooperate with him, he just asked a little confused.

"Are we there, can we finally see my teacher?"

The old man sensed Rorschach, but this time, his tone was much softer: "I don't want you to come and worship me as a teacher, do you?"

Rorschach sensed that he was asking him, and he nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"Would you, then?" asked the old man again.

"If you can guide me. ”

"Very well, boy, what's your name?"

"My name is Rorschach. Rorschach's voice was as strong as stone.

"The old man is Kate D. Norton, and next will be your master!" said the old man with a satisfied smile.

At that time, Rorschach only worshipped his teacher in some ignorance, and it wasn't until many years later that he learned that this old man was the [Fluctuating Sword Saint] K.D.N who had fought all over the Western Continent a long time ago.

――――

In this way, Rorschach followed the old man to learn [Qi and Fist] for five years, and became a fifth-level knight who awakened the bloodline of [Cloud Breath White Crane].

This bloodline allows him to sense the slightest vibrations in the air and "see" objects with them.

At the same time, being able to borrow the power of air also makes him agile and powerful in battle.

How many people in this world know that the terrible Faceless One is just a blind man?

(Since Rorschach is an important supporting character, I'll dedicate three chapters to a brief introduction to where he came from and why he came to Ashes.) Well, finally ask for votes~)
