If the witch circle that Emily showed was only the psionic realm of a pseudo-seventh-level psionic person, then the moment this old woman entered the room, the spiritual energy or magic power that was invisibly emanating from her body was completely the psionic coercion that a seventh-level psionic person could produce. In front of the old woman, Leo felt like a helpless baby.

This is not to say that the spiritual energy level on the old woman's body is already comparable to that of a seventh-level psionic person, it is that the special environment of the Sky Tower has long been strong for the old woman. As long as the old woman is in the Sky Tower, she can have the strength equivalent to a seventh-level psionic person, but once she leaves this environment, it is not clear how much strength she will have left in the end.

"Why are you so hostile to Grandma Hannah? After the old woman left, the sensitive Sylvia looked at Leo with some confusion, and then asked urgently, "What is the curse that Mama Hannah said just now?

When Emily heard this, she also looked at Leo with great concern, and her eyes were full of worry.

Leo didn't hide it, and told Sylvia about the cursed powers attached to the Book of Nightfall.

"Damn, I knew that guy had bad intentions for taking out such a precious thing so easily!" Sylvia cursed angrily when she heard this, and then complained to Leo, "Why did Mama Hannah help you lift the curse just now, but you refused? Don't you know how dangerous the power of the curse is?"

Emily also looked at Leo anxiously, worried for him, "Mr. Dodd, will that curse force hurt you?" or I'll go get Mama Hannah again and ask her to help you ......."

Leo was not very accustomed to this atmosphere of being cared for, and quickly interrupted Emily's words, and at the same time signaled Sylvia not to say much, and then said very formally, "It's okay, you don't have to worry, this curse power will not cause me any harm, in fact, I don't need Hannah to do it, and it is not very difficult for me to exorcise this curse power myself, the reason why I keep this curse power is that I still want to study this power." ”

Sylvia looked at Leo in disbelief and exclaimed, "Why? Are you crazy?

"There is no distinction between evil and good in power itself, only the user can distinguish between good and evil. Leo corrected Sylvia's cognition, and before the other party retorted, continued: "The power of curse is very special, I have never seen it before, if I don't understand this power clearly, how can I find a way to deal with it in time if I encounter this power in the future? What do you think?"

"Hmph!" Sylvia agreed with Leo's statement in her heart, but she didn't admit it, and just snorted.

"Well, I think you are right, Mr. Dodd! The more you feel danger, the more you are afraid, the more you should rise to it. Emily felt empathy, looked at Leo with a hint of adoration in her eyes, and nodded vigorously in agreement.

Emily, who has been given memories of the past, has an instinctive fear of the murderer of her entire family, even if her current personality has changed due to the new memories Sylvia has compiled, and she is not the cowardly little woman, but the fear that comes from her body instinct still has a strong influence on her.

Leo's statement may fit in with her current situation, and make her feel encouraged, even if Leo didn't mean that when he said it.

After revealing the curse power, Emily took the information related to her husband, walked to the table and sat down, took out the information in the file bag very formally, placed it on the table, and looked through it carefully.

Neither Leo nor Sylvia bothered her, and after helping Leo put on the rest of the armor completely, the two walked out of the room and went to the underground training ground for the Guardian Clergy inside the Sky Tower.

At this time, there are many guardians of the Sky Tower in the training ground who are conducting daily training, although now that the cold weapon has slowly stepped off the battlefield stage, as a traditional church guard priest will still practice the church's unique cross sword swordsmanship.

After Sylvia came to the training ground, almost all the guard priests present knew her, and while greeting her, they were also a little afraid not to look at her, and after greeting her, they left immediately, and soon only Leo and Sylvia were left in the bustling underground training ground just now.

Seeing this, Leo couldn't help but smile and asked, "What did you do to make them so afraid of you?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I practice swordsmanship with them regularly and let them know what real swordsmanship is. Sylvia replied lightly, although she seemed very flat in tone, but there was a hint of smugness on her face that could not be concealed.

As he spoke, he saw Sylvia walk to the weapon rack on the edge of the training ground, take off a swift sword and a short sword for training, and then the swift sword in his hand, and with a dexterous pick of the two cross swords on the weapon rack, the two cross swords broke away from the weapon rack and flew towards Leo.

Looking at the two cross swords flying over, Leo stretched out his hands, very skillfully avoided the blades of the cross swords, accurately grabbed the hilt of the sword, and then flicked his wrist and played a sword flower, and the two cross swords became a standard low holding state in his hands.

"That's good!" Sylvia's eyes lit up when she saw Leo catching and holding the sword, and she gave a heartfelt appropriation.

Although she had already seen Leo's swordsmanship when she was in the hunting wasteland, because she had to deal with other enemies at that time, there was no way to be distracted, and she only stayed on the impression that Leo's swordsmanship would use it, and now through these two natural and simple movements, she realized that Leo should have received very orthodox swordsmanship training, and the swordsmanship strength is also very high.

"I've fought Jacques Huppert before, and although it was a dead end, I have to admit that I would have had a hard time getting through 10 rounds of his sword skills without other means. Sylvia walked to the center of the training ground, holding a swift sword in one hand to make a regular attack stance, and a cross dagger in the other hand as a parry dagger, returned to her side, and said: "If you defeat me within ten rounds, you are qualified to challenge Jacques Huppert, otherwise, I need to prepare some back-ups, lest you fail to complete the trade mission and affect our plan to take over the First Legion." ”

Seeing Sylvia's obvious concern for his own safety but expressing it in such a forceful way, Leo couldn't help but smile, waved the long sword in his hand twice, and after getting used to the weight of the long sword, he walked to the training ground, stood opposite Sylvia, made a cross-sword standard cross-sword posture, and brought himself into the mental state of the legendary knight in the twin illusions.

Sylvia didn't tell the truth just now, she fought Jacques Huppert ten years ago, and after that fight, she also became very serious about swordsmanship, and now her swordsmanship is far greater than ten years ago. Now she is confident that if she faces Jacques Huppert again, she will be able to maintain her level for less than 30 rounds, even if she does not use any other means, and will lose due to physical problems outside of 30 rounds.

The reason why she would tell such a little lie is mainly because she wants to teach Leo a lesson, after all, since she met Leo, she has been suppressed by Leo to death, which makes her very unhappy in her heart, which has always been in a strong state in the past, and now she has the opportunity to overpower Leo and make Leo a little ugly, she naturally will not let go.

However, when Leo used the standard cross sword stance in the cross sword technique, Sylvia felt that Leo's momentum suddenly changed, becoming like a volcano that could erupt at any time, no matter what way she attacked, she would face the overwhelming hot lava that erupted in an instant, and there was no chance of victory at all.

Unable to find any attacking position, Sylvia relied on her experience to move quickly around Leo, looking for an opportunity to strike. But no matter how she moved, Leo's cross-sword momentum was always aimed at her, not giving her any chance to strike at all.

After a few rounds of confrontation like this, Silvia's situation not only did not improve, but was completely suppressed, and even the whole person fell into the volcanic power formed by Leo, unable to attack or retreat.

"No!" Knowing that she would be defeated in an instant whether she made a move or retreated, Sylvia didn't continue to insist, throwing the swift sword and the short sword in her hand on the ground, and complained to Leo: "Don't you know that let me go?"

"Do you need to let me?" asked Leo rhetorically to Sylvia as he put away his swords, and detached himself from the legendary knight's mental state.

"Of course not. Sylvia raised her head and said proudly.

"Actually, you didn't lose. Leo waved the long sword in his hand very casually, and said truthfully to Sylvia: "Your swordsmanship is very good, based on swordsmanship alone, I will definitely not be able to take you down within thirty rounds, and I may even lose to you, I just used other means to force you not to make a move." ”

"Other means?" Sylvia was stunned, carefully recalled the situation just now, showed a sudden expression, and said, "Is it momentum?"

"Yes!" Leo nodded, and said with mixed truths, "I'm just borrowing the momentum of a certain legendary knight, and once I do it, I may be exposed." ”

Sylvia's expression became serious, and she said, "It is impossible for you to defeat Jacques Huppert with such an opportunistic method. ”

Leo smiled indifferently and said quite confidently: "No, I won't use this method when fighting Jacques Huppert, because I am 100% sure that I can beat him, and it will be easy to kill him." ”

I don't know if it was affected by Leo's self-confidence, or because she couldn't find a better way, Sylvia didn't continue to say anything on this issue, and instead asked, "Do you need me to prepare anything for you?"

"Just get me a carriage. Leo made a simple request, then pointed to the weapon at Sylvia's feet, and said, "Come on! ”

As time passed, the night hung in the sky again, and many people gathered outside the barracks of the First Legion stationed outside Miria City, most of them were officers in the legion, and they were chatting and betting on the game. It's just that to the frustration of the people who set up the bet, almost everyone bets to buy their Legion Commander to win, and only two people buy the Challenger to win.

During the day, when the Legion Commander ordered the soldiers to clear the lawn outside the camp, it became known within the Legion that another person had come to challenge Jacques Huppert. However, when they chatted over dinner, they discovered that this challenger was not something that any of them had invited to do for the legionnaires, but a real challenger.

In this way, all the officers and soldiers in the barracks couldn't help but feel curious, wondering who had the courage to come here to challenge even though they knew that their legionmen had superb swordsmanship.

Some good people also opened the gambling handicap, from the first 1 to 10, to the later 1 to 100, to the current completely stop the handicap, almost everyone is not optimistic about this challenger.

"Major General Roger, how did you come up with the idea of buying a challenger to win?" someone tried to ask the reason for the bet on one of the challengers.

Major General Roger, who was the deputy commander of the corps, smiled and said: "Anyway, it's only one golden flange, and if you lose, you lose, and if you win, I'll make a lot of money." ”

Another person turned to another punter and asked, "Do you think the same way, Major General Wood?"

Major General Wood, who was the chief of staff of the First Army, was a person who did not smile, even in this relaxed private occasion, he did not have the slightest smile on his face, after hearing the inquiry, he looked at the person who asked him, until he saw the sweat on the other party's forehead, and then said in an indifferent tone: "Throw it away, lose the wrong position." ”

Hearing Major General Wood's words, everyone around couldn't help but want to laugh, but when they saw Major General Wood's indifferent face, they couldn't laugh at all.

As Wood and Roger, who also had the rank of major general before the age of forty, they were definitely one of the best existences even in the star-studded army of the French Empire.

However, the two who were supposed to be radiant, but because they offended some powerful nobles and their status as freemen, their promotion came to an abrupt end, and they were transferred from the promising Ninth Legion to the First Legion, which was nicknamed a nursing home.

Although the two of them were full of unwillingness and resentment about their situation, they didn't dare to say anything, because the person who took over their position in the Ninth Legion was the son of their current boss, and if they said any resentment, I am afraid that not only would they not be able to keep their positions, but even their lives would be equally difficult to protect.

Therefore, the two of them have always kept a low profile in the legion, and then they have been low-key, quietly waiting for the opportunity until one day the opportunity falls.
