Chapter 18: To the Martial Arts Hall
"In that case, on a cloudy day, we will set off for Vetaron, the capital of the Delos Empire. There's a Sale Martial Arts Pavilion there, and I've already discussed it with the owner there, so you can go to her and learn martial arts. "That's for yourself!" Bai Ke lamented in his heart. But in the face of Dinah, who was strong at this time, he couldn't say anything to refute, so he had to obey the arrangement. Bai Ke nodded, indicating that he knew, and was ready to go back and clean up briefly. Bai Ke muttered in his mouth: "Sale Martial Pavilion, I don't know what kind of place it is." "Sarewukan!?" Bai Ke was taken aback, could it be the martial arts hall of the famous Valkyrie Salemaya in Arad?
"Zareth is very strong, but I remember that she seems to have a quirk, that is, she never accepts male disciples, right?" Bai Ke patted his chest, well, pure masters! So he quickly turned around and ran back, "Dinah, where are you?" Dina hadn't gone far at this time, Bai Ke hurriedly stopped her: "Wait, wait......" Dina looked back at him suspiciously.
"Dinah, are you mistaken? I remember that Zareth never accepted male disciples. She seems to be prejudiced against men, saying that men only use brute force and don't know how to use skills at all, so she never accepts only female disciples. I'm a big man who went to her to learn martial arts, how is this possible? ”
"You don't have to worry about that. I've already talked to her before, and she's already agreed to accept you as a disciple. Bai Ke listened to Dinah's explanation and looked at her steadily. What's going on? Zareth doesn't seem to be a good-natured person, but he will be persuaded by Dinah that there won't be any PY deal in this, right? ”
Dinah seemed to hear Bai Ke's voice again, and said with some dissatisfaction: "As your assistant, I can't do this little thing, how can I help you become a strong man in the mainland?" Don't worry, everything is with me, you just need to go and study hard. ”
"Is there really no problem? How do I have a sense of foreboding. ”
"That's your delusion."
"Can we change someone? For example, "Bai Ke still wants to save it, "Feng Zhen, he is a 'martial artist professional mentor', and his level should not be bad." ”
This time, Dina looked at Bai Ke fixedly, and then she said, "Feng Zhen is good, but it's a pity that he is a qigong master." In the field of gangquan, it is clear that Sale is more professional. You should also know that Feng Zhen once challenged Saleth and was defeated by Saleth with a single punch. So don't have any delusions, go to the Salale Martial Arts Hall to study! ”
Bai Ke was completely speechless at this time. He glanced at Dinah again, and saw that her eyes were firm and uncompromising, and he had to sigh, give up arguing with her, and obediently go back to pack.
Dinah looked at Bai Ke's distant figure and sighed, "Alas, master, I'm all for your good." With your weak nature, if you don't fight well, how can you become a talent? With that, she shook her head and turned to leave.
The next day, Dinah rode her beloved hoverbike and drove Bai Ke to the imperial capital. Bai Ke was full of worries, and he didn't have the heart to take advantage of Dina anymore, so he just held Dinah's waist with both hands and began to imagine his martial arts training career for a period of time in the future. Originally, he was quite longing for all this, but as soon as he heard that it was Saleth's martial arts hall, he was only worried in his heart, and he always suspected that he would be treated inhumanely. Dinah didn't consider Bai Ke's mood at all, and when she arrived on the outskirts of Vitalon, Dinah put Bai Ke down, and then said to him, "I won't accompany you the rest of the way." My identity and image are still quite sensitive, and I may be investigated by someone who cares, so you can only go to the Salewu Pavilion alone to report. After speaking, she handed Bai Ke a money bag, "There are 200 Imperial Gold Coins here, which should be enough for you to use for a while." Then he handed Bai Ke a simple package, and said to him: "The contents of this package are for Master Saleh, you can go to her martial arts hall and give it directly to Master Saleh, and Master Saleth will accept you as an apprentice when he sees it." ”
Bai Ke nodded, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Dinah, the city of Vetaron is very big, how do I know where the Sale Martial Pavilion is?" ”
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this master. The Zar Martial Pavilion is famous throughout the empire, and the people in this city are well known, so you can find your way by simply asking a little. You can also take this opportunity to exchange lingua franca with outsiders, which is good for improving your language skills. ”
"Okay," Bai Ke said dejectedly.
"Remember to put away the communicator, and be sure to contact me if you have something. Then I'll go first! Dina launched the levitation motorcycle and flew away in Bai Ke's reluctant gaze, leaving Bai Ke who was about to raise his hand to say goodbye far away.
Bai Ke: "......"
Vetaron is worthy of being the capital of the Delos Empire, the city is quite prosperous, with many high-rise buildings, but the overall style is a bit hairy in Bai Ke's opinion, and I don't know if there is any connection with the northern power of his hometown. But that wasn't his concern, he just wanted to know where the Sarewu Pavilion was. Bai Ke used the lame lingua franca to ask a sturdy sword-bearer uncle who looked a little old about the location of the Saleh Martial Arts Pavilion. The Salath Martial Pavilion is really known to everyone in Vetaron, and no one knows it, and this uncle knows it. He said with a wistful expression: "It is the holy land of martial arts in the empire, how many martial artists want to go there to study. It's a pity that Master Zareth only accepts female disciples and disdains men, so men don't have the opportunity to learn martial arts. The uncle was obviously very talkative, and he asked Bai Ke, "Do you want to visit over there?" I'm afraid it's not convenient, because the women there are very discriminatory against men, and they won't even let the door in. If you want to become a professional, young man, why don't you follow me to Ike's cabin in the woods, where you can learn a hand in swordsmanship. I see that you are in a strong body, and your strength should not be small, and after learning swordsmanship, you can take a big sword or a blunt weapon, and you can go out on an adventure. This uncle also recruited Bai Ke, obviously taking a fancy to Bai Ke's good meat.
"Well, I don't have to." Bai Ke smiled bitterly and waved his hand to refuse. Seeing Bai Ke's refusal, the uncle didn't embarrass him, but still explained the route to Bai Ke in detail, and Bai Ke thanked him. At this time, the uncle said to Bai Ke: "If you change your mind, go to Meijing Village on the outskirts of Nancheng, where Ike's cabin in the forest is located." Talented people like you will definitely learn a good skill there, don't forget it. Then the uncle left a little happily. Bai Ke sighed, the imperial people are still quite hospitable. While meditating in his mind about the route that Uncle had just explained, he walked towards the location of the Salewu Pavilion.
"Get out of the way! Move! Suddenly, a group of soldiers appeared in front of them, violently pushing the pedestrians away. At the rear of the army, surrounded by a large number of soldiers, a man who seemed to be a nobleman rode up on a tall horse.
The man was dressed in fine armor and a gorgeous coat, with arrogant eyes and an indifferent expression. His status seems to be very high, and no one dares to stop him. Bai Ke saw the people coming from a distance, and he didn't dare to stop them, and retreated into the crowd. I only heard someone next to me talking about the nobleman on the horse.
"Isn't this Prince Vane? He returned to the imperial capital from the Northlands. "Yes, yes, it is said that the prince has done a very good job in the Northland, and His Majesty has summoned him back to the imperial capital to reward him." "That's nice. This prince is really outstanding and capable, and it is a great thing that the country can have such an heir. "Huh? Prince Van was a proud man, and he was somewhat fond of being aggressive. If such a person becomes an emperor in the future, I am afraid it will not be a blessing for the country. Bai Ke was a little surprised to hear everyone's discussions, this imperial person actually talked about his prince on the street, aren't they afraid? Then I heard the man from before say again, "I think it's better to be Princess Celia." She was generous and kind, and she was kind to us inferior. If the country is inherited by Princess Celia, it will be a great thing for us. "Eh, I can't say that, Arad is not peaceful, and it is better to have a martial prince to inherit it." Bai Ke listened to everyone's talk, a little surprised, it seems that the upper echelons of the empire are not peaceful, it seems that the princess and the prince are competing for the position of heir, and Yin Xian is coveting that supreme position.
Of course, this is not about Bai Ke, he just watched the scene for a while, and he didn't care about the future emperor of the empire. After that, he followed his uncle's guidance to find the Saleh Martial Pavilion. Along the way, he asked a few more people, and Bai Ke found that not all people in the empire were friendly. Some people listened to his strange lingua franca, and thought that he was just a poor country boy who went to the city to see the novelty, and his tone was quite unfriendly. However, because Bai Ke's body is very strong, he obviously has a lot of brute strength, and no one can't come up to find trouble without opening his eyes. After inquiring all the way, Bai Ke finally found the Salewu Pavilion in a remote place in the city.
