Chapter 12: That's it?
"It's like those widows. Viscount Wallace continued to hate the iron and said, "The widow will still cheat, you are not married, you are extremely chaste, I really have nothing to say." ”
Like John, you are very old-fashioned, and I don't understand why you young people who are dozens of years old are not as clear as me, an old man who has lived for more than a hundred years. ”
This sentence seemed a bit out of place when Viscount Wallace, who looked to be only in his thirties, but it also reminded Xavier of something.
He seemed to understand why, when Count Josephine heard the name of his master, he showed an extremely angry expression, even her apprentice Alice, presumably this demon hunter must have done something unspeakable to that earl to make them so angry.
Combined with what Viscount Wallace just said, Xavier said that it was really difficult for him to identify with his values, maybe the demon hunter had difficulty in developing love for others after the mutation, so he naturally had such an idea, and the girl's attachment to others could be used in his eyes.
And his idea didn't seem to be accepted by Captain Liszt back then, otherwise he wouldn't be in his thirties and still a single dog, something must have happened behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Xavier couldn't help but risk offending the master in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Then master, can I ask you about your relationship with Count Josephine?"
Hearing this name, the demon hunter in front of him suddenly showed an expression of 'how do you know', and turned this expression into a question, "What rumors have you heard?"
"I don't know, but I only mentioned your name when I met with the Earl, and then the Count was very angry. ”
For a moment, Xavier seemed to feel a feeling of fear emanating from the demon hunter in front of him, and a second later he was heard say, "You actually talked to her, so does she know where I am?"
"She told her apprentice where you were. Xavier threw out a fact that weighed down on Viscount Wallace's mind like a big stone.
He was silent for several seconds, pondering for a while, and finally exhaled.
"But she didn't say she was coming to me. ”
"Nope. Xavier shook his head.
"That's fine. Viscount Wallace smiled wryly, "Then again, apprentice, if you don't want to betray yourself, I won't force you, let's get back to other business, as long as you don't keep mentioning her name." ”
So you think that was the right thing just now? Xavier complained silently, he didn't know why after mentioning Count Josephine, the demon hunter in front of him suddenly changed his attitude and stopped mentioning Liana's matter, but for him, it was a good thing, and he nodded and said
"Okay. ”
"Very well, remember not to tell anyone what you just happened. Viscount Wallace sighed, reminded Xavier, and then immediately changed the subject, "As for now, before training you, I must first look at your strength. ”
"But master, didn't you say you didn't need to test me?" Xavier asked in confusion, putting his previous emotions aside.
"That means you don't have to pass the test to be able to worship me as a teacher. Viscount Wallace said as he took Xavier out of the room, "I still have to look at your mastery of sword skills to determine your specific level." ”
As he spoke, he led Xavier to a large room, which was different from those private rooms, there were no sofas, wine glasses, and no wine girls, but just a large open space.
It's like Xavier and Nord were training in the room of the Swordsman Guild.
Walking inside, Viscount Wallace asked Xavier to pull out the steel and silver swords, picked them up and observed them, nodded and said, "Your sword blade is good, who made it?"
"A swordsmith who is no longer there. ”
"That's right. The Demon Hunter was a little regretful, it was a pity that such a good swordsmith was no longer alive, "But the blades he has made are all very good, and you can use them with confidence." ”
"At least, it's about the same strength as my current blade. ”
After returning the two blades to Xavier, Viscount Wallace commanded again
"Now, then, let's use the 'Sword Dance' on the clearing. ”
"Facing the clearing?" Xavier took off his memory, he thought that the two of them were going to have a sparring directly, but he didn't expect that the viscount in front of him was to let him fight wits with the air.
"Yes. Viscount Wallace spat out a short note.
Seeing that his master said this, Xavier naturally did so, holding a steel sword, gathering his spirit, imagining that there were enemies in front of him, behind him, and the vicinity was full of enemies, and began to rotate three hundred and sixty degrees.
The wind, it seems, appeared, or rather the sword wind, because of its extreme speed, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was like a spinning top, but for Viscount Wallace, it was just basic.
This level is a little worse than Baron Liszt's sword dance, and it is also the lowest level required by demon hunters, but when the viscount remembered that the person in front of him had only learned the 'sword dance' for a few months, he felt that this kind of achievement was already the work of genius.
You know, it took him at least three years to achieve this result.
Just thinking so, as a master, naturally he can't make his apprentice proud, and when Xavier finished performing, Viscount Wallace shook his head lightly and said
"That's it?"
Xavier suddenly felt a sense of frustration.
He obviously felt that he had reached his peak state, and if he had 'sword dance' with Baron Liszt' 1v1, he believed that it was not yet known who would kill the deer, but he was hit by a word from the person in front of him.
Moreover, the viscount in front of him did not seem to sense his thoughts, refused to stop his mouth cannon, and continued
"I thought that Little John was really proficient when he said that you were proficient in the 'Sword Dance', but now it seems that it is at that level. ”
"Master, what does it mean to be proficient?" Xavier replied with some unconvinced feelings, though he didn't show the emotion obviously.
"You show me another 'Sword Dance'. The viscount did not answer, but asked Xavier to do as he said one more time.
Xavier had no choice but to refocus and swing his sword again.
This time, he used all the energy of his body, but he didn't exceed the last time too much, and the speed of the previous 'Sword Dance' was maintained at the same level.
And this is what Viscount Wallace wants to criticize.
"Do you feel it? You're too slow. He shook his head, "Maybe in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, this 'sword dance' is completely irresistible, but in the eyes of us demon hunters, this sword dance is all flawed. ”
"What you have to do is to do about 50 laps a second, and you just now, at most, it's only a dozen to 20 laps. ”
Xavier was stunned.
He almost wanted to ask, are you sure, is this really what people can do?
Although it seems that the demon hunter is not human at all
