When the ashes reappeared in reality, they immediately felt that something was wrong, and Roger beside him was gone.

"What's going on?"

"Is there a teleportation problem?"

Ash thought to himself.

Although Ash used to use campfires to teleport through various areas, the mechanics of teleportation are not understood. This time it was a strange continent again, which suddenly made Ash dumbfounded. Just as Ash was still wondering how to contact Roger. The air in front of him twisted, and Roger appeared.

"Is there any delay on this thing?" Seeing Roger, Ash asked suspiciously.

"There was no delay, just a little bit of a situation."

"I forgot to tell you that teleporting from the Round Table is only going to the place where you once left your mark."

"And you've never been to the Black Knife Crypt, and the two of us were scattered the moment we teleported."

"This is where we last met, so I guess you should be here, so I'll teleport over."

Roger looked embarrassed to explain everything that had just happened.

"Oh, there's that kind of setting." The ashes suddenly realized.

"That's right, if there is no such setting, if a certain leading party directly teleports to the royal city with a million troops, no one will be able to defend it."

"And some areas will be covered by magical enchantments, and even if they have left a mark, they can't teleport and can only walk." Roger continues to popularize common sense with Ash.

"So what now, am I going to walk there?" Faced with this situation, Ash also understood that he had to rely on his legs to walk to the Black Knife Cemetery.

"Well, that's all there is to it."

"But there is good news, the master of combat skills that I was going to take you to meet at the end of the mission is on the way to the Black Knife Graveyard."

"It's just that you can stop by and go over first, see if you can get that guy's approval, learn combat skills in advance, and be more sure when it's time to deal with the black knife."

Roger's words made Ash's mood a little better, after all, the aimless journey was indeed a bit boring. Now that the master of combat skills he was interested in was on the road ahead, Ash instantly lifted his energy.

Handing over the map of the Black Knife Graveyard to Ash, Roger said, "I'll teleport over and camp first, the time for you to learn combat skills, plus the distance, it is estimated that you will not be able to carry out the mission today." ”

"Just rest at the entrance of the tomb for the night, recharge your batteries, and then explore."

After explaining, Roger teleported away.

Ash also follows the map and heads to a hut called the Warrior.

This time, Ash avoided Stonewell's outpost and headed north from the west of the checkpoint. Although the road is not as smooth as the main road, it is better to be safe, and this is not a good time to provoke the soldiers of Stonewell City. And the giants I saw for the first time are still stationed in the middle of the canyon. After passing through a cave in the forest, Ash came to the Storm Hill shown on the map.

The name is very appropriate, as soon as the cave is exited, the ashes are met with a strong wind, obscuring the sky and the sun, obstructing the view of those who advance. Fortunately, the ashes had faced the smoky lake, and the storm could not withstand the smoke of the magma pool. Slowly descending from the storm hills, I finally came to the main road again, and the storm gradually dissipated.

At this time, a dilapidated house came into view.

Looking down at the map, Ash found that the dilapidated house was clearly some distance away from the master's residence.

In line with the principle that one more thing is better than one less thing, Ash avoided the broken house and continued to follow the map.

As a result, with a wolf howl, the cry for help also followed.

Listening to the voice, it should be a young girl, and when Ash rushes into the broken house with a sword, the sight in front of him confirms his suspicions.

I saw a girl wearing a red hood, hiding in the corner, desperately grabbing the table in front of her, trying to resist the invasion of wild wolves.

Ash didn't say much, and a stabbing blow pierced the wolf's throat and saved the girl, who was already trembling.

At this time, the girl's fear had not dissipated, and the ashes did not speak, standing alone and waiting quietly.

After half an hour, the girl stopped sobbing, and although her white lips trembled slightly, she could already speak.

"Unknown benefactor, thank you for your rescue, I should have died a long time ago."

"As a result, in the face of the attack of the wild wolf, I am still afraid from the bottom of my heart, I~ I am too cowardly~"

"As soon as I close my eyes, it's as if I see my companion turn into a chrysalis and move on the ground."

"This kind of scene is really terrible, I don't have the courage to face all this, I want to be cut off my hands and feet, and my head will be cut off, it's terrible~"

Seeing that the girl was still drowning in fear, Ash walked up to her and gently pressed her head with her hand.

Feeling a warm big hand on the top of her head, the girl's emotions collapsed again, and she hugged the ashes directly, crying and crying.

This cruel world, although the ashes have seen a lot in my hometown, but every time I encounter it, I can't be calm. Even if you collect the soul of the king, incarnate as the salary king, and become the master, the heart of the ashes is still soft.

When the maiden stopped crying for the second time, Ash spoke.

"No matter what you've been through, it won't happen again from now on." The girl raised her head, looked at Ash's resolute face, seemed to believe Ash's words, and nodded vigorously.

"Then, while I take care of the wolf's carcass, you clean up yourself."

"When you're ready, we're ready to go."

When the ashes had completely skinned the wolf, the girl was already standing behind him, waiting quietly.

The ash broke the wolf's skin into a curl, the hair was facing outward, and then threw it to the maiden.

"Carry it on your back, and follow me." With that, the ashes moved on.

On the way, through the conversation with the girl, or through the girl's confiding, Ash also learned the ins and outs.

When the girl followed her companion to the vicinity of Stoneville, she was attacked by the Faded Hunters. With the help of her companions, the girl escaped and remained in a dilapidated house. I thought that when I met a wild wolf, I would not be able to escape the fate of death, but the ashes happened to pass by, and I picked up a life. Sure enough, it's this Stoneville City again, maybe after completing the Black Knife mission, this tumor must be removed.

"Don't be afraid, I know that a place is far away from reality, it can be said that it is very safe, you follow me first, and when I meet with my companions in front, you can let him teleport you over."

"Is it a round table gathering point?" The girl asked.

"You know this place?" Ash wondered.

"Yes, I know, I should say all faders know."

"However, not all faded people can go."

"As far as I know, only the powerful faded deserve the benefits of a round table gathering point."

After listening to the girl's words, Ash said that it didn't matter, he wanted to shelter someone, and he still needed the consent of others?

As the two communicated, the girl was visibly cheerful.

The girl tells Ash that her name is Rodrica and gives Ash an ashes.

Ash stared at the ashes and felt a little big, and the girl said that it was the ashes of the jellyfish that could help him fight.

But, who can tell what kind of creature is through a puddle of ashes. And how to help him fight, when facing the enemy, sprinkle the opposite face, quicklime is not better than this.

Ash is not easy to ask in person, so he has to put it in his waist pocket, ready to meet Roger, and popularize science in private.

Soon, along the road, Ash and Rodrica arrived at the Sim's residence.

Walking to the door, Ash told Rodrica to wait at the door, and knocked on the door himself to show his intention.

With a creak, the door in front of Ash was opened, and it was opened in the image of a very tough guy.

Ash bowed, then pulled out the letter Roger had given him and presented it to the man in front of him with both hands.

There is no need to ask at all, Ash can feel the strong warrior aura from the body of the man in front of him, and the master of combat skills is definitely this person.

"It turned out to be a friend of Roger's, the first time we met, can I ask a question?"

"Sir, please." Ash immediately agreed, and it was estimated that whether he could learn combat skills or not would depend on his answer this time.

"I'm also a faded one, and I want to ask you, the border is constantly fighting, the magic ring is broken, even if the golden law is hopeless, will you still trust the guidance of the blessing and continue to fight?"

Blessing? What blessings? Is that the golden campfire? Ash is a little dazed, how should he answer?

Looking at the ashes in front of him, the man did not rush, quietly waiting for the answer.

"I don't know!" In the end, Ash chose to be honest.

What's blessed? What guidelines? Could it be the witch who found her? Ash is still thinking.

"You're really honest, although it's a shortcoming, but I'm not disgusted."

"If you want to learn, I only have sword skills here to teach you."

The man's words interrupted Ash's thoughts, and Ash also understood that he had passed, and hurriedly thanked him.

"You can call me Bernal, what type of sword are you good at, straight sword? Greatsword or greatsword? ”

"They all dabble, and the most familiar is the straight sword." Thinking about the ashes of the dark sword back then, who saw it, was not frightened.

After Benal understood, he took out a few combat skill notes, "These are all suitable for medium-sized swords like straight swords, so let's pick them." ”

Soon Ash took a fancy to the note called Storm Sword Strike, and Bernal took the initiative to inform him that this was a combat skill that originated in Stoneville City, because Stoneville City was once also called Storm City.

Although I didn't learn the halberd combat skills of the heavy knight, this is not bad. Once chosen, Bernal began to explain the practice methods and points to note. Then demonstrate it yourself and let the ashes feel.

After Bernal's guidance, Ash quickly mastered the technique, but when the sword body gathered a storm, an unexpected sight appeared.

The others, including Bernal unleashing the Storm Sword Strike, gathered a white-gray storm and released it forward with the swing of the sword. And when the ashes gathered in the storm, a trace of flame suddenly appeared in the storm, and the two sides were entangled with each other, intensifying, wrapped in the sword body and exuding a terrifying aura of destruction.

Bernal was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene, it was the first time he had encountered such an incomprehensible situation.

Ash was also a little surprised, but this power was completely under his control.

Then, Ash aimed at a nearby tree and unleashed what could be called a Firestorm Sword Strike.
