Early the next morning, Curt and Adios meet unexpectedly. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) Adios got a tent out of nowhere and slept in front of the Black Tower all night. Curt watched speechlessly as Adios emerged from the tent, squirming his upper body to greet him. Adios yawned lazily and said without much energy:
"I heard you're going to go far away, Uncle Eoham beat me to be your bodyguard. It's a joy for all, and I love traveling with interesting people. ”
“...... It came at the right time. ”
Curt scratched his head, there was really no way to ignore Adios' sloppy appearance. He resolutely dragged the half-dark elf into the Black Tower, threw him into the spacious bathroom, and washed his face and brushed his teeth with the large group of children. When he was done, Curt invited Adios to a simple breakfast. Finally, he drank hot tea and said to the satisfied Adios:
"Lord Eoham has already told you everything, so I don't need to talk nonsense. Anyway, I was able to travel to Aatlan as a normal person who didn't know how to spell, which was a bit of a headache. ”
"Did Uncle Eoham forbid you to use magic items, what's there to worry about?"
Adios shrugged, looking disapproving. Curt clasped his hands together and said helplessly:
"Magical items are important, but they're not as reliable as their own strength. In addition, I have also heard that the world outside of the Thousand Laws City is more advocating force, and it is difficult to subdue others with magic alone, and it may even get into inexplicable trouble. ”
"What? you want to learn swordsmanship from me?"
Adios heard Curt's off-string sound and immediately became excited. He glanced sideways at Gordon, who happened to be passing by the doorway, and said with a grin:
"Actually, your guard swordsmanship is not bad. You can learn from him. My swordsmanship is too difficult to learn. You don't have enough time. ”
"Huh. You're pretty generous, I thought you wouldn't want to teach me. ”
Curt laughed happily, thinking that Adios was a big grin. If it weren't for the fact that Adios was too close to Ioham, he would have been a worthy friend. So after a few innocuous jokes with each other, Curt turned back to the topic and said seriously:
"I don't need to learn any advanced swordsmanship, you just need to teach me the basics. If I could, I would like to reach a level where I can defeat a normal fighter within a week. ”
“...... It's a bit hard. You seem to look down on swordsmanship too much. ”
Adios narrowed his eyes, looking a little unhappy. After seeing Curt put on a posture that he did not intend to retreat, Adios sighed and said:
"You mages, you all despise us who dance and wield swords from the bottom of your heart. If I have the chance, I'd like to take you to meet another of my uncles. His name is Roland, and he is a warrior like no other. Once you've met him, you'll know how terrifying true swordsmanship is. ”
Regardless, Adios agreed to teach Curt swordsmanship. At Curt's urging, Adios reluctantly walked out of the Black Tower. He drew a sword with his right hand. Said to Curt, who was standing a few meters away:
"You're not left-handed, and you can't learn tricks that require you to use both swords. So I teach you one-handed swordsmanship. Now you can see clearly-"
Before the words fell, a staggered cold light appeared in front of Adios. The ordinary-looking sword came and went, and under his control, it turned into a cold match. Adios stabbed with a smooth stride, raising his wrist as he was about to reach the end of his sword, causing the tip of the sword to rise like a viper. Then he took a light stride and waved his arms down to make a beautiful downturn.
Within seconds, Adios unleashed a dozen attacks in a row. If there were an enemy standing in front of him, I am afraid that he would have been killed on the spot by this moment. Adios deliberately made Curt retreat so as not to waste time and energy, so he didn't slow down when he shot. Gordon applauded from the sidelines, looking admirable. After a while, Adios suddenly closed his momentum and stood up straight, and said to Curt, who had been silent until now:
"How, how much do you remember?"
"I'll try. ”
Curt shrugged and took Gordon's saber. For him, who had not practiced physical fitness for many years, the long sword was a very heavy weapon. However, Curt still grasped the hilt of the sword with the correct gesture and began to swing the sword one by one, trying to repeat the swordsmanship that Adios had demonstrated.
With the mage's memory and the psyker's insight into the nature of things, Curt barely memorized every movement of Adios. Although his wrist and arm strength were pitifully weak, at least not enough to throw his sword to the ground. It took a full minute for Curt to stop sweating. His straight stab was crooked just now, and the upward pick and slash could not keep the blade straight at the target. But after hard work, Curt still completed the whole set of moves.
As Curt stumbled and swung his sword, Adios's expression changed from mockery to stern. He was silent for a long time, until Evelyn ran out and gave Curt a towel to wipe his sweat, then shook his head and said:
"What a waste, Curt, you deserve to be a warrior. Not...... It's too arbitrary to say that, in short, you have the talent to be a warrior in addition to being a mage. I'm not kidding, if you're willing to work hard, within five years, you can become a first-class fighter. ”
"It sounds like it's a lot easier to be a warrior than a mage. ”
Curt smiled and wiped his sweat with a towel and patted Evelyn on the shoulder as a token of gratitude. He knew he could have this result for many reasons. In addition to his qualities as a mage and psyker, Curt has lived with a druid. He had learned a little bit of martial arts, but he had never been seriously involved.
"Alas, nasty fellow. Wouldn't I have no way to get away with it?"
Adios clasped his hands behind his head and complained half-truthfully. He looked at Curt, who was a little proud, and suddenly said gloomily:
"Please remember that physical fitness is the basic skill of a warrior. And it's very easy to improve your physical fitness, and a week is enough time for you to be reborn. Of course, physical overdraft is inevitable, and who told you to be able to use flotation to help? So, Mr. Curt, I'm sorry to tell you, I'm afraid you won't have the strength to sleep with your lover this week. Alas, what a wonderful thing it is to be able to hug your lover to your heart's content before going out on a long journey. But since you asked me to teach you swordsmanship, you can only make some sacrifices yourself. ”
With that, Adios gave instructions for the next step. He asks Curt to run around Mirror Lake until he vomits blood. This makes Curt suspect revenge in disguise, but Gordon helps Adios clarify it. Under Curt's complaining gaze, Gordon said with a kind face:
"It's true, host. Running will work your whole body, and the average fighter can run at least two kilometers in full gear. Otherwise, you'll swing your sword with all your might for less than twenty seconds, and you'll be out of breath. So when you run, you have to learn to control your breathing. I will run with you, this is the greatest loyalty I can show Xiàn. ”
Curt, who had dug a pit and jumped in, was speechless, so he could only go back to the Black Tower to change into a suit that was easy to exercise and start running as Adios asked. It was about a kilometer and a half around the lake, and Curt barely ran 400 meters before he began to drag his feet. He felt his throat grow drier and his chest tingle. If it weren't for Gordon's help, Curt would have had to crawl back on all fours in the last 500 meters.
Adios grinned and stood in front of the Black Tower, looking at the sweaty Curt. Not far away, the elf Fretia was gearing up surrounded by children. As the priest of Corellon, Fretia actually had an evil smile on her face at this moment. As Curt leaned against the wall out of breath, Adios said happily:
"You're in luck, Curt. The priest is willing to help and use magic to restore your body. Of course, symptoms such as muscle soreness are still inevitable...... Well, that's night, negligible for now. The point is that time is limited, so let's try to be as efficient as possible. ”
After saying that, Adios snorted. So Fretia recited the prayer and performed a divine spell. Her palms began to lighten, which had the effect of relieving fatigue. But no matter how Curt looked at it, it didn't seem like Fretia was trying to help her. Fretia reached out to Curt with a look of revenge on her face. Curt really wanted to know what Adios had said to Fretia while he was running.
That afternoon, Curt lay on a huge soft bed, exhausted. He took Kelly with him and limped to Arcan's Land, where he almost drowned in a huge hot tub from falling asleep. Kelly, who hasn't been seen for a long time, is full of enthusiasm, and so is Curt. The difference is that Kylie has too much energy, while Curt is dying. As a result, Curt was confined to the bed, and Kelly helped him massage his aching muscles.
Upon learning what happened to Curt, Kelly smiled heartily. While using her dexterous fingers to help Curt massage, she said happily:
"It's just five laps around Mirror Lake, and I can do it. The mages are really weak enough, but you're very good at that, shouldn't it be so useless?"
"Whether it's useful or not, you'll know when you come up. ”
Curt, who had eased up a little, turned over and hinted at Kelly with his eyes. Kelly smiled back and swept her head off the back of her head with both hands. She rode onto Curt and sat down little by little. Gradually, the sound of wet rubbing echoed through the room. As Kelly sped up the frequency of her waist swings, Curt gradually had a new experience.
The soreness of the muscles, mixed with the diffuse pleasure, turned into a peculiar stimulus. Curt stared at Kelly, who was full of charm but a mocking look on her face, and suddenly activated the two magic items on her body!
