Chapter 14: The Old Witcher
It may be difficult to understand this, but those piercing sensations are not imaginary, but can be felt by the body.
In other words, when someone is struck by the 'Seal of Alder' with the 'piercing bones', he will feel an extremely cold and bitter feeling, like a knife cut, and even die because of it.
What's more, Alder's Seal is a magic seal that can be used extremely quickly, and when Miss Hannah rescued Xavier from the wraith, it can be seen that it takes a short time, and the only drawback is that it does no damage and can only repel enemies from afar.
And after adding the piercing bones, this shortcoming can be completely compensated, it can not only repel the enemy, but also cause large-scale damage, to achieve secondary damage.
That's the horror of it.
So Xavier learned them all.
However, as we all know, no skill can be learned thoroughly, and the French seal is no exception, and although Viscount Wallace corrected some of Xavier's mistakes, he still needs a lot of practice to strengthen his roots.
In addition to this, he had to maintain his sword dance speed and train his bow and arrow skills by the way, so that in the next few days, Xavier would wake up every morning and start training immediately, and only rest at night when it was close to twelve o'clock.
Isn't it possible, of course? But with the system's display, every time Xavier improves a little bit, he can see the corresponding changes, which gives him higher confidence and a sense of accomplishment to persevere.
Moreover, his perverted physical strength also allows him to do this, which was a gift from the system to him at the beginning, although the upper limit of physical strength has not increased as quickly as it did at the beginning, it is still a terrifying number, which can allow Xavier to train for more than ten hours in a row.
The only thing that will hinder his progress is the poor upper limit of mana, which is only 100 and often only allows Xavier to train a few magic seals, but Xavier has also found a way, and that is to use those scattered elements.
According to Sir Liszt, magic is only used to summon the elements, and when they are summoned, and the light energy is used, they will dissipate on their own and return to another dimension.
In other words, when Xavier uses magic to summon and issue the magic seal, there will still be some elements left, and then Xavier can focus them a second time and use the magic seal again.
The power of the magic seal focused in this way will undoubtedly be a little low, after all, most of the energy has been used up in the first focus, but Xavier is just training now, training those focused methods, improving his proficiency, not against any enemy, so it doesn't hurt to have a lower power.
In short, after many times of guidance from Viscount Wallace and Xavier's own hard work, Xavier finally succeeded in mastering the improved versions of the two seals after a few days, and completely consolidated the speed of the sword dance (thirty circles per second).
Viscount Wallace and Xavier had a simple celebration in a small room in a nightclub.
This time, they were certainly not going to drink any more strange dwarven spirits, but to drink fine wines, which were well balanced in flavor and astringency, delicate and elegant, mellow and mellow—those were the comments of Viscount Wallace, for Xavier didn't know what to describe at all, and there was probably only one word, 'delicious'.
During the drinking, the unreliable master suddenly proposed whether to find a few wine girls to come over, which was naturally rejected by Xavier, in addition to Caroline's reasons, there was also a problem with the Viscount's taste, which really made Xavier unbearable.
What the Viscount liked was the kind of old lady whose hair was already extremely pale and her face was full of wrinkles, Xavier did not discriminate against the elderly, but for this kind of lady, he could not imagine how Viscount Wallace could treat them to me.
But then again, it seems that this viscount is already over a hundred years old, maybe for him, a grandmother in her sixties is a little Lori, so Xavier's thoughts are undoubtedly not on Viscount Wallace.
"Xavier, you're still too old-fashioned. Seeing that his apprentice was still like a widow, Viscount Wallace expressed his disappointment, "Isn't it just a drink, unless you want to do anything, I'm sure your fiancée won't have any grievances." ”
"Master, it's not a matter of dissatisfaction, but I don't want to do anything that might violate etiquette, and it's probably okay to just accompany the wine, but I'm afraid that I will accidentally sink down, and this will be a bad thing for her and for me. Xavier was serious about his reasoning.
"If you like it, if you like. Viscount Wallace shrugged helplessly, "I'm curious now, what kind of girl can make you so chaste, don't you say?"
"Apprentice, are you a strict wife?" the witcher suddenly changed his gaze, which was a look of contempt.
"How could it be. Xavier smirked, "She's a very nice girl, and she never dictates what I'm going to do." ”
"Then why don't you even want to hire a wine girl? Viscount Wallace suddenly felt that he had realized something, and said mockingly.
You can understand it that way. Xavier tends to be more stubborn in the face of this matter of principle, "Because in my opinion, husband and wife must respect and trust each other in order to maintain their love for each other, so I really don't dare, not because I am afraid of my fiancée, but because I am afraid that the trust between us will be lost." ”
In the face of Xavier's statement, Viscount Wallace felt that he had a chicken feather bump, it is already 229 years now, how can there be such a person who is so stubborn in the thinking of the times, which makes him not know how to react, he can only sigh and say, "Then I hope your trust is useful." ”
"You know, women's cheating happens every day in the Minoan Empire, do you believe that she will do the same thing as you and never betray you?"
"I believe it. Xavier replied firmly.
"Oh well. Viscount Wallace seemed to be moved by Xavier's attitude, perhaps in this era of lack of love, Xavier's attitude is what it should be, although he couldn't accept it, and felt that this apprentice would probably not end well, but he still gently blessed "I hope your love can continue." ”
"Thank you, master. Xavier smiled at the fact that others understood him.
After drinking, Viscount Wallace did not mention anything about the wine girl, but asked Xavier to rest today and wait for him in the same place tomorrow afternoon.
As for what to do, he didn't tell Xavier, and Xavier had a good rest and arrived at the nightclub on time tomorrow.
~~~~~~
The next day, in the afternoon.
When Xavier pushed open the door of the room, he found that the clothes that Viscount Wallace was wearing today seemed to be a little different, no, it should not be said a little, but the whole body was wearing, it was like a different person.
For example, at this moment, in Xavier's eyes, the witcher was wearing a detachable hood on his head, and underneath it was long blue light armor and beige boots. There were also a number of chains on his body, such as the leather armor on his hands, which provided additional protection for the viscount.
At the same time, he carried a pouch around his waist with a number of vials, all of which had a pungent smell - the feeling of the wine Xavier had drunk before, and behind him was the standard of a witcher, a steel sword, a silver sword, and a standard crossbow.
It didn't take much thought for Xavier to know the purpose of the Viscount in front of him today.
Obviously, he was going to take his apprentice out on an adventure, otherwise, why would he be so neatly dressed, or rather safe?
If you are simply training, you can wear some light clothes, and you don't need to put on armor at all.
And his idea was not wrong, in the next second, Viscount Wallace said that Xavier's battle foundation, as well as theoretical knowledge, already had seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and next, it was necessary to consolidate his level through actual combat.
However, in the capital of Crete, it is clear that there are no monsters, which is why Xavier is now going to ride in a carriage with the viscount and head farther south.
It is worth mentioning that Viscount Wallace's Vasiliki seems to speak very well, at least in Xavier's opinion, while the Viscount himself thinks that it is not worth mentioning at all, after all, if you let anyone live here for five years, they will definitely be able to speak a foreign language, and the necessity of life is the biggest reason for people's progress.
As for if you want to learn faster, the witcher has suggested a better and quicker way to get a local girlfriend, love can give people a lot of motivation, but Xavier obviously won't do it.
~~~~~~
After sitting for about a few hours, and the two of them were already some distance from Crete, the viscount asked the coachman to stop at a random intersection, saying that he needed to get off, which made the coachman undoubtedly a little puzzled, but for the sake of the krona, he did not care about the wishes of the customers, and hurriedly left after sending them away.
But after a while, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong, why was it almost night now, and those two people would still leave in such a barren mountain and wild place?
Could it be said
He began to think of some strange legends, and quickly turned his head to look at the two departing customers, only to find that their traces had long since disappeared from his sight.
This made the coachman's body suddenly creepy, and the speed of driving the carriage also increased a lot, and he left the scene quickly.
Perhaps for Xavier and the others, they obviously didn't think that their unintentional actions would make the coachman so afraid, and even if they knew, they would probably think that the coachman's brain replenishment ability was too strong, and there was only one reason why their traces would disappear so quickly.
It's that they run exceptionally fast, that's all.
For example, when he was tracking down Anven Pandragon, Xavier forced him to use 'sliding' to escape, although he was only a magician and his physical strength was not strong, but he could also see how fast Xavier was.
Not to mention Viscount Wallace, as an old demon hunter, although he has been enjoying himself in nightclubs recently, his basic physical fitness has not decreased much, and it is still very normal to reach a relatively high speed.
As for why you came to the barren mountains and mountains, the reason is also very simple, because there are no monsters to be found near the city, after all, monsters are not those cute little animals, in the eyes of humans, they are evil, and they will naturally be annihilated by the guards.
Even if they weren't exterminated by the guards, they wouldn't find enough food around the city, and they lacked the necessary conditions to survive, so if they wanted to find the monsters, they had to be far away, that is, in the barren mountains and mountains.
Under the vast moonlight, Xavier and Viscount Wallace walked for about an hour, but still failed to find any monsters, by this time it was already quite dark, and it should have been about seven o'clock in the evening if it was changed to a twelve-hour clock, but the two of them still walked here, trying to find some lucky monsters to use as teaching materials.
Finally, after using some of the unique tactics of demon hunters, Xavier and Viscount Wallace spotted a lone monster in the distance.
It was a ghoul.
As a ghoul not in Tokyo, the ghoul is clearly different from its peers, having human hands and feet, but walking on all fours, which can be imagined as a large sideburn dog, but with blood-red skin.
But one thing in common is that they both like to eat human flesh, kill humans, and then eat their corpses, which is why they are called ghouls, and of course, it doesn't matter at all for them to eat animals, or the corpses of their companions, all they need is rotting flesh and blood.
In addition, like the sideburns, it has extremely sharp teeth and a strong bite, which can tear apart its prey in an instant, bite off its bones, and is also a social animal, which likes to live in groups and prey, but today this one, apparently, has no friends, which causes it to be alone.
As for IQ, Viscount Wallace said that ghouls are stupid creatures, but they have a variant called the giant ghoul, which has a much higher IQ than ghouls, and even experienced witchers have to be very careful, but today this one is obviously not that.
Anyway, after discovering it, Viscount Wallace quickly gave Xavier a task to kill the ghoul, which in his opinion should not be too difficult.
And Xavier also thinks so, although he has no actual combat experience with monsters, and most of them have fought water ghosts, demon spirits, and vampires, but as long as he is careful enough, it will definitely not be difficult to kill a ghoul, right?
