Chapter 8 What is Extraordinary Perseverance
"Changing the routine of cultivating swordsmanship will lead to physical discomfort, and the king of the barbarians just needs suffering to nurture strength......"
With a certain thought, William swallowed the pain and picked up the big sword.
Keep practicing your swordsmanship!
All suffering is the ration of the king of the barbarians, and the more at this time, the more he cannot relax, and only in this way can he maximize its utility.
I don't know how long later, William fell to the ground with a dizziness.
When he woke up, he was already in bed, and Thranie was sitting on the edge of the bed and dangling her feet.
"How long did I sleep?"
"Two hours."
William nodded clearly, this cultivation has really reached the limit, even with the blessing of the king of the barbarians, he can only do this now.
Close your eyes and concentrate on the state of your body... Comfort, tenacity, control... Never before has there been such a strong presence!
"Amazing catch!!"
But what surprised him the most was another point, he had already learned how to fight to win the championship?!
The "learning" here is not the learning of swordsmanship moves, but the comprehension of the will and core, which is the most fundamental value of knight swordsmanship.
He used to practice the curtain call performance method, and in order to learn its essence, it took at least a month to comprehend.
Now it's only one day, and I've learned the essence of fighting to win the championship?
After thinking for a moment, he set his eyes on the power point, and a large 0 on it was very conspicuous.
"1 power point has such a big effect?" William couldn't think of any other reason other than power, and no matter how confident he was, he wouldn't think that he could learn because of his cultivation talent......
"No... It should be more than that......"
"Cultivation is like a chemical reaction, it has the concept of moving the whole body. The reason for this leap forward is definitely the catalyst of the power point in the first place, but also the bonus of the king of the barbarians, and the knowledge I have accumulated myself......"
"That makes sense, but it's a pity that there are too few power points, otherwise you can study it in depth."
Looking at the injury on the buttocks, it has recovered a bit.
William smiled with satisfaction and decided to major in the fight to win the championship in the future, which was more in line with his spiritual will.
……
The next day, William received a message from Salvatore inviting him to the manor.
He reviewed what he had prepared in his mind, and set off with Serrane in a light car.
When he came to the manor, Salvatore went out to greet him.
"Seventeen Princes."
"Mr. Salvatore."
William pressed the long sword at his waist and followed him into the manor.
The two of them went directly to the courtyard at the back, and at this time there were already more than twenty candidate knights standing in it, all of them wearing light armor, some holding large swords, and some carrying a small shield.
"See the Seventeenth Prince!" The candidate knights greeted in unison, and it was clear that Salvatore had already told them something.
Salvatore whispered to William: "I can only find these people, if there are more, the secrecy cannot be guaranteed."
Seventeenth Prince, I don't know what you're going to use to woo them, but I have to warn you that most of them are the sons of nobles, and no matter how poor they are, they are knights, and you must not use your position to coerce them......
Also, I wish you the best of luck. ”
Salvatore stepped aside.
William nodded with a smile and gave him a meaningful look. Salvatore was funny, and he deliberately reminded himself not to use his position to coerce... Is this to coerce him before complaining?
William looked at all the candidate knights indifferently until he was sure that everyone had looked at him before he spoke.
"I am William Sydes, Lord of Barron, Viscount."
"I'm here today for the purpose you all know, yes, I need my brave men. The reason is well known, the Barron is very dangerous and very barren......
If you follow me, you may face several situations in the future: death, disability, burial, becoming a wine cup for a foreign race, or being saved from bad luck but living a life of unfulfilled nothing...... And finally: Conquer and win, glory!
Frankly, risk and reward are not proportional ......"
Surprisingly, William did not promise all kinds of benefits, but instead stated all kinds of difficulties.
This caught Salvatore and the candidate knights a little off guard.
It shouldn't be like this, if you want to recruit subordinates, why don't you talk about the benefits, but keep talking about the disadvantages?
In this case, who wants to follow you? Just because you're the seventeenth prince?
Salvatore gazed at William's face......
He didn't believe that the other party would be so unwise, although he did dig a hole for William, but William shouldn't give up.
Or did he have other plans?
The knights listened to William's speech quietly, and although no one still wanted to follow him to the Barron's domain, they had quietly let down their guards......
"Whatever the purpose of the Seventeenth Prince is, at least he is sincere."
Sincere!
William saw the sincere eyes of the knights, he smiled slightly, and his voice sank to change the subject.
"Maybe you've heard about an incident that happened on April 19th.
Three knights of Dorne duel with three of our knights of Saidus, and sadly, we lost, all three.
But at this point, I stepped up and challenged the Dornes again......"
Speaking of which, William's voice was already very solemn.
There is even a hint of tragedy......
The candidate knights showed expressions of unwillingness, disappointment, and humiliation with empathy, who doesn't know about the 19th, the Dorns have publicized it all over, and they wish that their newborn children would know about it.
At first, they criticized the seventeenth prince for being reckless and arrogant, but now when they listen to him, they feel like a warrior.
But what did the seventeenth prince do when he talked about it?
Just listen to William continue to speak......
He did not continue to talk about the results of his duel, but went directly to the summary stage.
He looked solemnly at everyone present.
"I have a message for you, and for all those who adhere to the way of knighthood, a phrase that only the truly brave can hear......"
A low, solemn and tragic voice sounded:
"Doing what is impossible is a true sign of extraordinary perseverance!"
Silence, dead silence, everyone lowered their breath.
His voice was so firm, his expression was so solemn... It was as if everyone had seen his heart through his body, it was an iron will, it was unyielding courage, it was a truly extraordinary perseverance!
He is the seventeenth prince, and his name is William Saidus!
Right now
He needs followers!
There was a click, and the sound of steel clattering.
One of the candidate knights pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, taking off his helmet and raising his sword flat.
"I, Brayman Van Dinny, pledge allegiance to my lord William Saides, and from then on my sword is with you, and your destiny lives with me, and I love what I love and hate what I hate, and I pledge my loyalty."
