Without Robert, the march became smooth sailing. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter) Because the sword country of Aotran is pitifully small, it is only two days away from the Green Shade Fort to the border. Curt couldn't ride a horse, and he didn't want to be tossed half to death in a wagon on a wooden wheel. He chose to walk honestly, using his feet to cover dozens of kilometers of bumpy roads.
Randall apologized whenever he saw Curt panting and wiping his sweat with a cotton cloth. But she stubbornly didn't say anything, hiding all her feelings in her heart. During breaks, Curt would make small talk with William. He inquired sideways, wanting to know what was going on in Alteran.
Now that he was on a boat, William had nothing to hide. However, the reason for Aotran's war with the other two countries is somewhat strange, and it also explains why Aotran turned to the Thousand Laws for help. - Lux, the princess of Otlan, turned out to be a rare warlock. She was born with a gift for magic, and it wasn't until a few months ago that she suddenly awakened.
On the Big 6 hostile to mages, this is undoubtedly an intolerable thing. Jepon, the land of silver spears, and Britannia, the land of Hundred Peaks, immediately sent emissaries demanding that Lux be burned at the stake to preserve the glory of the warriors. The king of Otlan, Ghurant, was so enraged that he directly dismantled the envoys of the two countries and sent them back in wooden boxes. As a result, the war broke out in just a few weeks, and Aotlan was outnumbered, during which there were even lords who rebelled and betrayed Aotran.
Curt naturally didn't believe in any glory, it was just an excuse. It is impossible to act so rashly at the national level, and it is more reliable to say that Jeppon and Britannia covet the territory of Otlan.
To Curt's relief, he could be confident of Aotran's cooperation. Gourant's love for her daughter is precious. It is a solid bridge connecting Aotland and the city of a thousand laws. In this world. What Curt trusts most is family affection. Although he has been losing both parents for many years. But his parents' cherishing of himself, Curt still remembers it vividly.
So Curt decided not to play any tricks, and won the first battle beautifully. Because from the perspective of personal feelings, he admires Aotran quite a lot.
A father who dares to stand up for his daughter and does not hesitate to be the enemy of the world is great. Curt admired that kind of person, and he felt that this was true courage.
In the afternoon, Curt chose to camp in a higher open field. He likes to be cautious and doesn't want his men to go into battle tired. Gordon, Cameron, and Griffin are sent to investigate. They are capable enough to protect themselves. Gordon and Cameron hold the invisibility ring that Curt gave them, and Griffin retrieves some of the magic items. With the help of Griffin's magic, this trio can teleport and have excellent mobility.
Since he got off the ship, Curt has been walking non-stop for two days in a row. There were several blisters on the soles of his feet, and he was almost exhausted. But Curt didn't say anything, and endured with amazing willpower. Occasionally, he would reach out and hold the Lingrong in his arms and have a brief exchange with Ani to soothe his soul.
In a corner where no one noticed, Randall had been silently watching Curt. She watched Curt rush about. Keep giving one instruction after another. For Curt, it was the first time he had personally led the team. He has a lot to learn. Sometimes the command is not correct. Luckily, William is a seasoned veteran, and he often tactfully gives Curt some advice. Curt naturally couldn't ask for it, and he humbly asked William for advice.
By the time Curt finally sat down to rest, his body was already overdrawn. The excessive humidity and temperature tormented Curt all day, leaving Curt feeling bored. He hid in the tent, leaned on the table, and looked at the food in front of him, but he had no appetite at all. Curt forced himself to chew bread and jerky, knowing that only timely energy replenishment was the guarantee of perseverance.
In the evening, Randall walked into the tent. She saw Adios with his feet on the table, and Curt who fell asleep with bread. Adios grinned and raised his hand and put his index finger to his lips. Randall nodded knowingly, and saw that Adios said in a lip language:
Don't bother Curt, let him rest for a while. β
Randall turned to get out, but suddenly stopped again. Anyone could see her hesitation, which made Adios feel like he shouldn't have come to Curt first. It was a long time before Randall turned back. She took out the jade beads that were exuding cold air and threw them out directly. Adios reached out to catch it, and listened to Randall with some surprise:
"Sue SΓΉ Curt, I don't need this. IβI won't owe him any more affection, huh!"
With that, Randall rushed out of the tent. She felt as if her cheeks were burning, unbelievably hot. Inside the tent, Curt sat up slowly, being woken up. He grasped the hilt of his sword vigilantly in his hand, and was relieved until he saw that the person beside him was Adios. Adios slowly reached out and pressed the jade bead in front of Curt. He sighed deeply and said very entangledly:
"Well, you've learned to be vigilant like a warrior, and that's a good thing. But in other ways, you're hopelessly dull. It is said that the beautiful, arrogant, and dedicated virgin is like a ghost, and everyone has heard of it, but no one has ever seen it. Hehe, you're the only exception, Curt, you're deliberately turning a blind eye. β
"What do you mean by tsundere?"
Curt casually opened the subject, and at the same time picked up the jade bead and put it in his arms. He smelled the scent attached to the jade beads, which was Randall's body fragrance, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Indeed, Randall is the perfect dream girl. But Curt didn't want to get too close to Randall, he couldn't tell the reason, maybe he just didn't want to hurt Randall too deeply one day in the future.
On the other hand, Adios was very unhappy. He stared at Curt and said slowly:
"Tsundere, you'll understand what it means sooner or later. Let's turn the subject back to the point - do you have a prejudice against Miss Catherine? I have seen many people break their heads to grab a beautiful woman like her, but I have never seen you push it out like this. She is excellent in every way and can even help you in your career. Are you not interested in women? Or is there another reason?"
"Your curiosity is so high, that's your biggest problem. β
Curt shook his head, tempting to throw Adios out of the tent. He thought about it for a moment, and in order to settle it once and for all, he finally said very seriously:
"I'll kill you if I get out, I'm not kidding. Well...... I have a girl I like, and I'm not going to accept anyone else. β
"Poof!"
Adios choked on saliva and fell over with a chair. He got up with astonishing degrees, lay down on the table, stared at Curt and said:
"Really, you're hiding a woman, who is it? It shouldn't be Kelly, right?"
β......β
Curt stared at Adios wordlessly, feeling the grimace on his chest begin to burn. If he could, he would have jumped over and strangled the half-dark elf who didn't know what was going on. Adios seemed to notice his gaffe and laughed embarrassedly. He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:
"Well, it's me who talks too much. But it's really hard to imagine that you will be so innocent. As a friend, I want to advise you, it's not good to hold it for too long, it hurts your body. β
β......β
Now Curt just wanted to grab Adios and bite him hard. Fortunately, before Curt was burned to death by Lingrong, Adios changed the subject. He straightened up against the table and said with a grin:
"Well, at least you're not playing with people's hearts. I beg your pardon for my offense, I always take a cautious approach when choosing friends. As an apology, I'll teach you a trick of swordsmanship. You seem to like the horizontal slash very much, and this move can maximize the power of the horizontal slash. Add to that the help of the Power Ring, and you'll scare the high-level fighters half to death. β
"I'm glad you can say something constructive. β
Curt breathed a sigh of relief and sat up and leaned back in his chair. At the same time, Adios drew his sword lightly, and placed his right hand on the top of his left shoulder. It's a normal backhand slash preparation, with the only difference being that Adios also raises his left hand. He raised his left hand to shoulder level, put his fingers together, palms forward. Curt watched curiously until Adios pushed out his left palm and pressed it on the forearm of his right hand. His right hand followed the force and swung the sword violently.
For a moment, Curt saw only the afterimage of the blade in the air. The sword was incredibly fast, but Adios clearly didn't exert all his strength. The sound of the sword breaking through the air was extremely sharp, like a steel wire cutting through the air at an extremely high degree.
"This is the introductory skill of the high sword, the high slash. β
Adios put his sword into the sheath in a dashing manner, and explained it quite triumphantly. He re-put himself in his posture with his bare hands, and said to the thoughtful Curt:
"The focus is on the left hand, which is where the high slash differs from the normal horizontal slash. The left hand gives additional force before the right hand exerts force. As long as you can do it in one go, you will be able to cut it out faster than holding a sword with both hands. β
"I'll try. β
Curt struggled to his feet, trying to ignore the soreness in his muscles. He pulled out the purple grudge and slashed at Adios's instructions.
The effect was immediate, and Curt clearly felt that his high slash was faster and more powerful than an ordinary horizontal slash. It's not a magic skill, it's just a small trick. While Curt was pondering the reasoning, Adios said with a hippie smile as he walked towards the entrance of the tent:
"You have to find this trick to apologize, right? When we get to Wing Night Castle, you must remember to invite me to dinner. β
"Let's see if your mouth is still there!"
Suddenly, someone made a cold interface, which made Adios's expression freeze in an instant. In the next second, two sharp swords smashed the tent and swept in. Adios was directly enveloped in the cold light, and he had to do his best to dodge. It was the first time Curt had seen the half-dark elves look horrified since he had met Adios.
