Chapter Thirty-Eight, My Mentor, Miss
"Famously lively?"
Aaron put down the wooden sword in his hand, he picked up the towel and wiped his face vigorously, wiping the sweat from his face and body.
After two weeks of training, Aaron has mastered the basic sword skill of [Sword Momentum - Heavy Split], the strongest thing about this sword skill is that he can use the strength of his whole body, starting from the waist, and go all out, striving to hit the highest damage, the weakness is naturally exhausted, people are easily tired, and if they do not hit the enemy, it is easy to reveal flaws.
[Sword Momentum - Revenge Strike] is a combat skill that needs to be matched with a wave of movements, that is, at the moment of launching the first attack, it immediately launches a wave of action and performs a second attack in a row, and achieves the winning effect by supplementing a strong slash or pick.
It's a pity that Aaron's talent in sword skills is far inferior to his other talents, and can only be said to be at the upper middle level, especially his wrist strength is slightly weaker than other recruits.
Lucian's flag officer also saw all this, and he thought that Aaron did not need to divide victory and defeat through melee combat, because melee combat is only a means, and victory is the goal.
"Well, famously lively." Lucian casually took a water bottle and threw it to Aaron: "Take off your training clothes and come to my office, recruit, I have something to tell you." ”
"Yes!"
The fact that Aaron was going to participate in magical training quickly caused a stir among the recruits.
"Hey, that's great, buddy, you can still participate in magic training, and I have found you a mentor!"
"I'd love to be a spellcaster, but unfortunately I don't have that talent."
"You still have a chance, recruit, we all have a chance, the warrior can be promoted to the Knight of Arcane in the future, if it really can."
"Yes, if-if-may--the-say-yes!" Someone said in a weird way: "If I could, I would like to be a magical lady electorate~"
"Hahahaha~"
The interrupted recruits chatted in a gossipy, they had been badly trained by the Simeone instructor during this time, but everyone's eyes were shining with a layer of light, a light called hope, and they knew very well that as long as they could persevere to the end and pass the assessment, the knighthood was beckoning to them!
Aaron ignored their arguments, he took off his sweaty training clothes, and was about to change into clean clothes, when he found his saber stretched out in front of him.
"So, you'll be back, right?" The one who spoke to him was the paladin Norrington, who was usually quiet, but he was always at the top of the sword class, but the culture class was weaker.
"Of course, I will definitely come back, but I will have to run at both ends in the future, a few days here and a few days there." Aaron took his sword and hung it around his waist.
He was a saber nobleman, and Aaron could wear a sword at all times except for the royal palace.
"When you come back, we'll fight again." It seems that Norrington is still haunted by the defeat last time.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Aaron has always been very interested in what the principle of the Most Holy Slash is.
At this moment, a purple dragon recruit who was obviously a local also squeezed into the conversation between the two men, and it was clear from his dark skin, strong body, very cleanly polished leather boots, and carefully groomed hair that he was also a native of Susar.
His name was Havre Kofi, the son of Susar's Minister of Shipping.
Susar is a city on the shore of Longhu, the royal city of Cormier, although the port here is not as good as the nearby second largest city, Mashan cypress, but because the royal city is here, the Minister of Shipping has always been an out-and-out super fat shortage, and it is the key position that all the nobles compete for.
As always, our Royal Highness the Prince Regent did not go through the appointment and dismissal of the Kingdom Council, but chose a trusted bureaucrat from among her cronies to serve as the Minister of Shipping, and her behavior made the nobles of the whole country complain, if it were not for the current difficult situation in the kingdom to do everything possible to ensure the smooth flow of shipping, the nobles would have initiated impeachment.
There is no such thing as doing this.
"Hey, buddy~" Havre had a few words of communication with Aaron in the two weeks of getting along, because Aaron was appointed by Alice Selto to train recruits, Havre easily regarded Aaron as his own side, although this kid's father is a shipping minister, but he is just a robed nobleman - he doesn't even have the power of a sword, his family is very rich but has no status, so he takes the initiative to have a relationship with Aaron: "You are favored by the goddess Tymorrah~"
"Oh? What do you know about this, Havre? Aaron also came to be interested.
"Hey, hey, hey, you'll know if you go today, and I'm sure you're absolutely satisfied, because you're a man." Havre laughed lewdly, and he knocked Aaron's stomach with his elbow: "That's good, do you know how many people are pursuing her?" ”
She? Aaron frowned, thinking to himself that Alice Sell had found a sorceress to teach me?
My shield brooch didn't vibrate either.
Moreover, the tutor who is qualified to teach me must at least be able to cast four or five rings of magic, right? I'm afraid I can be my great-grandmother......
Havre knew what he was thinking when he looked at Aaron's expression, and the son of the Minister of Shipping said mysteriously, "Well, how about we make a bet?" ”
"How to bet?" Aaron also came to be interested: "Bet on what? ”
"Bet on whether you are satisfied with your magic master, and if you are satisfied, then you can ask everyone present to go to the bar with five glasses of Am's water each, and if you are not satisfied, then I will ask everyone present to go to the bar with five glasses of Am's water and a plate of roast lamb per person, how about it?" Havre snapped his fingers.
This kid is really rich, Aaron thought about it for a while, and the children of chaos suddenly brightened up in his eyes.
Yes, that's part of the plan!
"Yes, in this case, the location will be set at the Dragon's Tooth Tavern in the lower city, please join all the fighting brothers present!" Aaron high-fived Havre in agreement: "I swear to the Silver Lady Suren that I will speak my heart fairly." ”
"I also swear to the Lady of Fortune...... Well, I swear to Ms. Joy that I will do it! Seeing that his little plan succeeded, Havre was also overjoyed, and he subconsciously wanted to swear to the goddess of wealth, Wokin, but thought that Wokin had been missing for more than two years, so he could only change his mouth and swear to the goddess of joy, Lierla.
"Brothers, please bear witness to us."
Seeing that there was free wine and meat, the recruits applauded and agreed.
Plan to pass!
Havre thought with satisfaction that he was trying to fit in.
Plan to pass!
Aaron is also very satisfied, and is thinking about how to connect with the Dragon's Tooth Gang, isn't this opportunity coming?
When the time comes, a group of purple dragon knight recruits will have a party in your tavern, and the boss of the Dragon's Tooth Gang won't come out to entertain you, right? And this guy is still in the edge business.
As for winning or losing, it doesn't matter.
He's a little too dazzling right now, and it's not a bad thing to fail in a proper bet, but it's easy to get closer to everyone.
Aaron packed up his things, greeted everyone, and got up to leave.
"Packed up?" Lucian was already waiting for him in the office, and the mentor with a long and thick beard got up from behind the desk: "Let's go, let's try on clothes." ”
"Clothes?" Aaron didn't understand what Lucian meant.
"Well, I've made a tuxedo for you, and you'll be wearing it tomorrow to meet your magic master." Lucian seemed to remember something, and he looked like he had a headache: "For you, the first impression is very important, which directly determines whether she is willing to teach you and how seriously she is willing to teach you." ”
"Sounds like a very casual and headstrong guy." Aaron followed Lucian to the locker room.
"You'll know when you see it, the good news is that you look good, your looks are very good, and the bad news is ...... I also don't know how it feels like the two of you to face each other. Lucian covered his head: "I really don't understand, why Chief Van Geda Heist chose her............"
What kind of person is this magic master?
Aaron is looking forward to it more and more, and combined with Havre's words, this mentor seems to be very charismatic.
The next day, Sunday, on the shores of Lake Longhu, Cormier's Royal War Mage Training Ground.
When the time came to June, the salty sea breeze blew the back hem of the tuxedo of the waiter, and Aaron, who was wearing a tuxedo, followed Lucian, who was also wearing a baronial crown robe, and waited for Aaron's "magic master" to arrive in a sea of flowers.
In June, flowers are in full bloom, and in the large garden near the training ground, a colorful field of lavender, lupin, chrysanthemum, sunflower, rose, and peony flowers welcomes the light of the sun, blooming under the blue sky, showing their beauty and exuding a charming fragrance.
The sea breeze soothes the mood of those who are waiting, and also reduces their nervousness.
"Sometimes the eyes of the sky are too hot, and its golden complexion is often darkened. And thousands of flowers will eventually wither and fall, and the replacement of the law of fortune will strip away the red face. ”
While waiting, Lucian's flag officer looked at the endless sea of flowers, and suddenly recited a small poem, he stretched out his hand to brush a delicate peony flower, and his eyes were full of reminiscence: "Luna, you are still so beautiful, but I am already old......"
"Tsk, the stinky old man is reminiscing about the past again." Disma, who was standing on the side, clasped his hands to his chest and held a dogtail in his mouth, he was rarely dressed more formally, and seeing that Lucian ignored him, he simply said to Aaron: "Stinky boy, don't learn from the stinky old man, it's because he didn't do a good job...... Yes!!! ”
The senior squatted on the ground with his head covered.
What do you mean? What do you mean by not learning from a stinky old man? What is it that you are not doing well?
Riddler, right? Aaron didn't understand, and looking at Lucian's fire-breathing eyes and Disma's tearful eyes, he wisely decided not to mention it.
"Lucian, Flag Officer, and Disma, thank you for being with me on your Sunday." Aaron appropriately changed the subject, and he smiled and said, "It's my responsibility to ask you to come with me to greet the mentor even though it's a day off. ”
"Tsk, it's nothing anyway, just come and see, it's not because you want to come." Disma squatted on the ground very unaffected, the dog's tail in his mouth shook left and right, the dead fish eyes were white, and he had a look of expression that I don't need you to be amorous: "Look at you pitiful, I'm afraid that you will be bullied by the stinky old man, don't you move yourself." ”
This man...... Aaron was speechless.
Lucian coughed twice: "If you are not in the fortress, you can call me Mentor or call me by my name...... Aaron, I'm here with you today to tell you that magic isn't everything. ”
"I know that magic is not everything, and there are still many forces in this world." Aaron didn't understand what Lucian meant, and he decided to repeat it and wait for further explanations from his mentor.
"Warlocks are always arrogant, Aaron, and now you don't feel that way, it's because you haven't really felt the power within you." Lucian stretched out his hand to press Aaron's shoulder, and the flag officer's eyes showed kindness and a strange smile: "I have seen many warlocks, their warlock types are different, their backgrounds are different, and their strength is different, but there is one thing in common, that is, they all have a very high opinion of themselves. ”
"Warlocks who dream of becoming gods one day are everywhere, and at the same time, the vast majority of warlocks think it's hard to succumb to something even stronger than themselves."
"You have to overcome the arrogance in your bones, you have to realize that your bloodline, the power in your body will make you superior in body and magic, but this is not a reason for you to be bullied, and the strength of the spirit is especially important, because if you don't have a strong faith, you will deviate from the right path. Your power and magic may turn against everything you have defended. The power of the spirit cannot be learned, otherwise I would not be your knightly mentor. Remember, stick to your heart. ”
"This is the Warlock." Disma squatted on the ground and said boredly: "Aaron, you tell you, the stinky old man's words have been said to no less than 5 people, he just changed the part about you being a warlock, and the rest is exactly the same......"
"Hey! It's not easy, Aaron, look at your senior, he actually remembered my teachings! Lucian's face was moved, and the tutor shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "The naming man once said that the pig knows how to climb over the wall after teaching it three times, and it is really not fake!" ”
"Stinky old man, who do you say is a pig?!" Disma jumped to his feet, and he yelled angrily.
"Wait! Here it comes! Aaron quickly grabbed Disma and didn't let him get another punch in the head.
At the end of his line of sight, a speeding carriage was speeding towards the position of the three men, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling so neatly, and the coachman who was supposed to be driving at the front of the carriage was nowhere to be seen!
Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, the driverless carriage sped towards them, performing a 90-degree loop brake on the spot less than fifteen meters away, and the wind in the face splashed up patches of grass clippings and dust, as well as the rising petals.
The door of the carriage opened, and a beautiful maiden of miracles poked her head out of the carriage, and even the sunlight was cast in front of her, and her miraculously perfect face seemed to suck up all its brilliance like a work of art.
She was wearing a hawthorn burgundy lace collar fine checked dress, her pale pink hair was as white as a Milky Way waterfall and her waist was long, two slender willow eyebrows faintly appeared under the light bangs, the girl had the most bright and bright face, a pair of sweet bright golden apricot eyes full of agility and intelligence, the cloak outside the fine checked dress could not hide her angelic face, nor could it hide her devilish figure.
The delicate collarbone exposed slightly bulges a seductive arc under the fair skin, and the semi-pale neck skin and the elastic pride like an inverted jade bowl shine charmingly in the sun.
Immediately following the girl's delicate face leaned out of the carriage was a pair of brown square-buckled butterfly diamond embellished with small lace-up heels on a red background, a pair of pink jade feet wrapped in brown translucent glossy stockings and a pair of delicate stocking legs slowly stretched out from the carriage and stepped on the pedals, compared to the beautiful legs of Miss Priest and the Prince Regent because of combat training, this girl's legs were slightly slender, and you could even see a shallow stocking fold squeezed out of the crook of the leg because of the girl's movements.
She leaped from the carriage in two swift steps, not at all like a noble lady, her pink hair swirling in the air and sprinkled with tulips, and her bright golden sweet almond eyes immediately found her target.
"It's an honor for you to be here to mentor my special student." Lucian's flag bearer stepped forward and nodded.
My Wizard? Is that her? Aaron looked at the girl's stunning face.
Minor? She doesn't look like I'm older, right?
"Oh, yes, I heard Alice Searle say that there is an interesting child in the Salian family, is this one?" The girl's bright golden eyes were full of interest and agility, and her eyes were already locked on Aaron: "That's him, right?" Hee-hee~I feel it~"
Lucian's expression moved, and the flag bearer thought to himself that it is said that super charismatic people can easily attract each other, and sure enough, it is not a lie: "Yes, it is him, Aaron Salian, my knight's apprentice." ”
"It's a great honor to have your guidance, ma'am." Aaron hurriedly said.
"Oh~~~ interesting, it's so interesting." The girl crossed her waist with her hands on her waist, slowly approached Aaron, and sniffed with her little nose: "Hmm~ It's the smell of lying!" ”
"Are you thinking that this chick may not be as old as me and deserves to teach me?" The pink-haired girl approached with bad intentions, her hands on her waist, and her chest was imposing.
"Uh......" Aaron shook his hand in embarrassment, and he also said playfully, "I won't tell you, I do have some doubts. ”
"Hey~ just kidding." The girl spun around in place and spread her hands excitedly: "It's really an interesting child!" ”
"Introduce myself, I'm Charlotte Caradnay, the next Cormier Royal Chief Wizard!"
