Although it was already 7 p.m., the sun was still shining with a rich golden light. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info tried to delay the twilight time, as if he was reluctant to give up on this day. In the woods on the side, the birds were still chirping, refusing to go home.

Lance and Eve were in an empty meadow outside the small town of Sekoo, with a few tall oak trees strolling around them, watching the pair of master and apprentice with wooden sticks.

A fragrant breeze from the Harlan Forest ruffled Eve's long, pale brown hair. Eve removed the ribbon from her wrist and tied her long pale brown hair into a neat ponytail.

"Lance, you've just learned swordsmanship, so you don't have to do so many push-ups or anything. The main thing is to practice swordsmanship slowly first. As for physical fitness, you usually have to do 300 push-ups a day and 5 kilometers of running. I won't supervise you. But ......"

Then she raised the stick in her hand, pointed at Lance, and said:

"Swordsmanship moves are useless until they are fused with one's body and brain after actual combat. But as long as you master the fighting skills, even if you can't keep up with your physical strength, you can still win before you run out of energy. You should be clear that a war of attrition is both a war and a battle. It's a big taboo. ”

"Understood!"

"Okay! Lance, I've taught you the steps and basic attacks one and two. Next, we will learn in practice. Are you ready for a fight with me?"

Lance said a little disappointed: "Actually, I thought these moves could have a more domineering name. For example, what is 'Aotian Chop', what is 'Sealing the Sky Chop' and so on. This way, I can still shout the name of the move domineeringly before I make a move. It's very majestic and cowish when you think about it. Who knows, it's called an attack type one and two, and it's a big disappointment. ”

"Big brother, swordsmanship is used to kill people, it's easy to use, it's a fart to have such a nice name, and it's hard to remember. ”

Eve said helplessly: "Still shouting the name of the move, only some people who are not deep in the Tao can do the kind of thing that let others know their details." Stop talking nonsense, are you ready?"

"Come on, Eve. I've practiced well enough. Lance nodded, and at the same time clenched the long stick in his hand with both hands: "Let's start." ”

"Okay, from this moment on, I will show all my strength, otherwise you won't remember it. However, as long as your attacks are fully in place for both the first and second attempts. It shouldn't hurt. Let's get started!"

"Okay!!" Lance shouted, and rushed towards Eve with his stick. Take Eve's left waist straight.

On the side, Roxani clenched her claws, confidently expecting Lance to successfully hit Eve. After all, Lance was also a man who had fought with "Blood Fist" Ruger for several rounds before. And Lance's current attack is full of momentum. It's a deterrent at first glance.

With the powerful swing of Lance's stick, Lance slashed Eve's left waist. Listening to this voice, Lance's strength seemed to have reached the B-level strength.

Lockani was about to clap her hands, but she heard a crisp sound of wood colliding. Langston let out a cry of pain. Loxani hurriedly pretended to look around, and the paws that had intended to applaud were embarrassed to pretend to tickle and put them down.

Princess Eve didn't bother at all, flicked her hand and hit Lance in the wrist directly before Lance hit herself. Then came a kick that kicked Lance out.

"You're dead. Eve pointed at Lance with a wooden stick and said coldly, "Although you are generally right. But one, it's too early to start. Two, it's not a legion battle, what are you yelling about? I'm telling you, the battle cry will distract you. Don't yell in the future. Three, the pace and rhythm are wrong, you find the feeling yourself. ”

But at this time, Lance didn't listen at all, but covered his wrist and said bitterly: "It hurts! How do I feel that my wrist is broken! Eve, you are not mistaken! It hurts!"

Eve said calmly, "The blow just now, it should be a broken wrist." ”

Lance was surprised and said, "What? You know you can break your wrist! Why don't you stop it?"

Eve glared at Lance and said, "I'm not saying it, I'll do my best." Once I actually start fighting, how can I control the strength of my attack at will? ”

"I don't believe that an A-rank swordsman like you can't control the strength of your attack!"

"I really can't help it, I can promise not to kill you. But there's no guarantee that it won't hurt you. And every time you hurt, you can remember your mistakes deeply! It's good for you. Besides, don't you have a Dragon's Heart Badge?"

Saying that, Eve turned to look at Loxani, waved her hand and said, "Ronnie, use the Dragon's Heart Badge to help him recover!"

"Continue?" but ......," Roxani wanted to complain about how Eve's attack was not light or heavy. But seeing Eve's serious expression, he decided to give up on the idea. So obediently flew over. Then use the Dragonheart Emblem to restore Lance's broken wrist.

Lance moved his recovered wrist and complained, "Eve, you should be so serious. I'm just starting to learn swordsmanship. ”

Eve said solemnly, "I've already saved you from a lot of physical training, what more do you want? But once we start teaching swordsmanship, we take every training seriously. Swordsmanship is the skill to protect your life with friends. If I don't take it seriously, I'm not responsible for your life. Since you believe that I am your master, then I will listen to me. How's it going? Is the hand back? When it's recovered, we'll continue. ”

Lance clutched his wrist and took a step back in fright: "What? I want to come? My wrist would have broken once, if it weren't for the Dragon's Heart Badge." I'm going to be crippled for three months!"

Eve raised the stick in her hand and said, "But doesn't this have a dragonheart badge?" Ronnie, the power of the badge can help Lance recover his broken bones?"

Roxani replied with a look of surprise on her face, "This ...... Broken bones don't waste much energy. Probably recoverable...... More than 40 comminuted fractures......"

Hearing this, Lance glared fiercely at Loxani. Loxani also reacted immediately, and hurriedly covered her mouth and stopped talking, but the words were already out.

"That's good. With that, Eve kicked Lance's wooden stick into Lance's arms: "Take it!

"Really?" Lance looked at Eve with a bitter face as he held the stick in his arms. At this time, Lance suddenly found that he seemed to have fallen into the wrong pit: "That, is it really necessary to practice like this?"

"I've said it all, as long as you follow the points I said, use the attack one and two attempts. Not only will I not be able to hurt you, but I may be subdued by you. If you want to not break a bone, then give me a long memory. Hit once and progress once. When any of your combat moves can become a conditioned reflex and subconsciously make moves, then you are a master of swordsmanship. Come on. ”

"I ......" Lance is now palpitating, after all, the wrist was broken just now, but it hurts: "I give up worshiping you as a teacher now, is it too late?"

Seeing that Lance hesitated, Eve sneered: "What, are you afraid? Don't you dare to come?" Lance, do you know how every battle-hardened warrior came from?"

Lance asked curiously, "How did you get here?"

Eve put down the stick she was holding and said earnestly:

"All people are not born warriors. Every soldier who has just joined the army is a helpless farmer, craftsman, and apprentice. There was basically no one to teach them how to fight. So in the first battle at the beginning, those soldiers were cannon fodder for the regular legion. Basically, out of 10 people, it's a miracle that 3 people can survive. But as long as you can survive, then the next battle, your chances of survival are greater. And so on, the more battles you participate in, the less likely you are to die. These people who learn to fight from blood are the real masters. They also know how to fight far better than those who have worshipped famous teachers and studied swordsmanship all their lives. As for me, I went to the battlefield without even touching the sword in the first battle. So I also grew up from such a cannon fodder team!"

Lance asked, puzzled, "What do you mean, Eve, you mean you don't know anything in your first battle?" but you're a princess. ”

Eve watched the sunset gradually setting in the distance, and her right hand, which was originally holding the stick, also relaxed. She recalled her past memories and smiled helplessly and said:

"My first fight was when I was 8 years old. At that time, I returned from visiting my grandmother's house with my mother and little sister. But as soon as he walked out of the Venian Pass, more than thirty Demon Metu soldiers suddenly rushed out. We were caught off guard by the killing. In my panic, I had no choice but to pick up a dagger on the ground and fight those men. At the time, I knew that I was going to hit a stone with an egg. So I tried to hide in the shadows, looking for an opportunity, to come out and stab the enemy with a dagger while they were entangled. In the end, we repelled the ambush. But my mother and my little sister Emma died in front of me. ”

Lance looked at Eve's sad expression, and his heart was also extremely uncomfortable: "I heard Winnie talk about your mother...... Eve, you have to be strong too. ”

Saying that, Eve wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, and then her eyes became resolute: "I am naturally very strong, otherwise I would not be standing here now." That's when I decided to learn from a teacher. Then go and kill the demons every day, no matter how much you kill, as long as you can kill these beasts. So I met my master, Swabian the "Cookie Swordsman". Interestingly, I was holding three boxes of Royal Cookies, and my master, 'Cookie Knight' Swabian, promised to teach me swordsmanship to slay demons. ”

Lance laughed too: "It feels like a trafficker who abducts little girls, 'Cookie Knight' Swabi, that's how he got his nickname." But you actually believed it at the time?"

Eve smiled embarrassedly: "When I was young, I was innocent, and I only thought about avenging my mother and sister at that time, so I didn't care if I was a human trafficker or not." Now that I think about it, I'm really a little scared. Still, I was lucky. And ever since I became famous, they have called my master Swabian 'Cookie Knight'. But his way of teaching is not as good as eating cookies. ”

Lance guessed, "Could it be just to bring you an 8-year-old girl to ......?"

Eve shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's right, my first lesson was when he took me to infiltrate a demon outpost. After a ten-minute lecture on the basics of swordsmanship. He gave me a short sword, and the two of us went in. ”

Roxani shouted with relish, "What happened later?"

"Later, my master was in charge of attracting hatred, and I was in charge of sneak attacks, and in the end I killed 8 people. Of these, I stabbed 3 people. In the days that followed, I sneaked out of the castle every night with a box of cookies and brought them to my master. My master took me to attack the demon outpost. Gradually, I discovered the skill and rhythm of fighting through fighting. A week later, I made my first kill. When I was 10 years old, my master asked me to go on a mission alone. When I was 15 years old, the Warring Guild sent me an invitation to take a rank test, and I ended up with an A- rating and the title of leader. ”

Hearing this, Lance let out a long sigh. Suddenly, the blockage and distrust in my heart seemed to be like a trickle under the ice, slowly washing away the cowardice in my heart.

Lance gave a thumbs up and said, "Eve, I have to say, I admire you! I understand why you can't take it, but that's okay. Come on. Let's move on. I will never say the word 'give up' again. ”

"Well, I'm glad to hear your words. Let's move on. ”

With that, Eve turned around, ready to distance herself from Lance and duel again.

But as soon as she turned around, Eve snickered, and her heart was full of joy and a sense of accomplishment:

"This guy is really a stunned young man, so easy to deceive. Just tell a half-truth story and be fooled. I don't want to think about how an 8-year-old girl can fight with a short sword and a Metu people. But in order to teach you as an apprentice, I can only lie to you like this. ”

As she spoke, Eve secretly glanced back at Lance, who was in high spirits and kept waving a wooden stick to practice attacking the essentials of the move. With a gratifying smile, he muttered, "But you're so stupid and cute." Speaking of which, this particular silly energy is both rare and likable. No wonder Winnie cares so much about you. ”

At this time, Lance waved his stick and said, "Eve, are you alright? I seem to have found a trick! Let's get started!"

"Oh!" Eve then retracted her smile, her expression returning to the seriousness of a warrior.
