70. Plans
In the eyes of his family, Wagner. Claire has a delicate face, usually likes to wear some neutral clothes, and her personality is also a little shy and weak, and she often follows her sister Belil. Behind Claire, many of his preferences are like a girl.
He is on the thin side, and his hands are slender, white, and flexible.
The family felt that Claire was very talented in music and was very suitable for playing the piano.
So after Claire entered the Elf Academy, several courses she chose were related to music.
Anyone who has seen Claire will think that he is a delicate and shy elf......
In fact, few people know the stubbornness and madness of Claire's bones, and maybe even Claire herself doesn't know until the Elven Academy meets Roy......
In the face of the aggressive Steve, Claire fights in the streets for the first time, and although he is beaten badly by a group of young elven nobles, he and Roy also beat Steve into a pig's head.
Maybe it was at that time that Claire had a ...... in her body The seeds called 'madness' are starting to take root.
All of a sudden, he seemed to have an extra personality.
Usually the same soft and weak Claire who smiles when she sees people......
But when it comes to fighting, it becomes extremely irritable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have faced Steve's provocation that day, and accepted to fight in the gladiatorial arena like crazy.
Roy knew that he was the kind of elf who would fight to the end if he decided.
……
On the other side of the training ground, Steve and Adams were sparring.
Both of them have a certain degree of swordsmanship, and when they practiced fighting, they did not stick to the two sets of elven martial arts taught by Nora's instructor, but carried some of the swordsmanship skills they usually learned, so the fight between the two on the training ground was extremely gorgeous.
Even if you hold two wooden swords in your hand, when you wield them, they will still turn into a string of phantoms......
As a Silver Moon Elf, Steve has a very perfect body.
His upper body has a very obvious inverted triangle shape, and his body is well-proportioned, and he is graceful every time he slides sideways or dodges.
And Adams is more robust, the wooden sword in his hand is also a broad-edged sword, it looks very heavy, every time the wooden sword is chopped out, it is full of momentum, the moves are very strong, and the sense of oppression is full, and he always has that kind of victor's smile on his face, which makes people inevitably feel a little impetuous.
Although both are very good Silver Moon Elves, they have two very different styles.
When practicing, there is even a feeling of dazzling.
For a time, it attracted countless students to watch.
……
On Roy and Claire's side, there were only a few groups of students practicing quietly on the grass.
People are far away to make sure they don't interfere with each other.
Claire held the long dagger with one hand and attacked Roy again and again, his body was flexible, and every time the long dagger in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake, Roy couldn't stop it even if he held a wooden shield.
Claire's long, unbladed dagger doesn't know how many times it has been on Roy......
Roy was armed with a mallet and shield, and was also tired and sweaty on the training ground, clumsy as a bull.
Probably tired, Claire stuck the long dagger in the scabbard at her waist and sat on the grass, he wore light leather armor every time he took a martial arts class, he pulled a towel from his waist and wiped the sweat from his face.
Roy, dressed in leggings and a shirt, casually placed a mallet and shield on the grass and sat down with Claire.
He didn't expect the wooden shield and mallet to be so heavy, and after practicing for half a class, he felt that his arms were filled with lead, and it was a little difficult to lift them.
"Roy, I think we should take a good look at the tactics, this guy Steve actually found Adams, and it was clear that he wanted to crush us with his strength, and then we might as well have the most familiar way of fighting, before we fell, take Steve down at all costs, and the victory will be given to Adams."
Claire said these words with a kind of paranoia in her eyes.
Roy was a little speechless:
"Claire, maybe we can be a little bolder."
Claire shook her head and whispered:
"Roy, a duel in the gladiatorial arena is not a street brawl, the two of them will defeat us with the most drastic means, and we only have one chance, and that is at the beginning of the battle."
Roy took the mallet lying on the grass in his hand, waved it twice, and asked Claire:
"Claire, what do you think are the chances of winning if we fight one-on-one and the two of us face Steve and Adams respectively?"
"There's hardly ......," Claire said without the slightest hesitation.
Roy said a little helplessly: "That's right, this is the reality!" ”
"Okay, then I'll also talk about my battle plan, my idea is a little better than your way of fighting together, of course...... This battle plan is also more about coordination, and if it is not well coordinated, it may lose even faster. ”
Roy spoke in a low voice.
Claire was a little expectant: "Tell me about ......"
"You are good at using long daggers and bows and arrows, and of course the gladiatorial arena prohibits the use of combat longbows, so use the dagger you are best at."
"I have very few weapons that I am good at, so I chose this hammer and shield, two weapons that I don't deny focus on defense, and I plan to wear heavy armor in addition to these."
Claire was even more incomprehensible when she heard Roy say that he still had to wear heavy armor.
Then I heard Roy continue: "When the duel begins, I will be the first to attract the attention of the two of them, you wait behind me to move, and the two of us will fight to get injured and make one of them incapacitated, and then defeat the other in a two-on-one way, and finally win this duel." ”
Claire asked with some concern, "What if they leave you chasing me all the time, you can't run away when you're so bulky." ”
"You can lean on me, when the time comes, I'll hit them with a hammer, and I'm bound to make them suffer......" Roy said.
Claire still felt that Roy's plan was a bit unreliable: "But I think you have a bit of a hard time holding this wooden hammer and wooden shield, if you put on another set of heavy armor, I'm afraid you won't even be able to walk." ”
Roy patted his chest and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago, have you forgotten that I'm a trainee priest?" I can strengthen myself with the 'Blessing of Strength', and of course I can help you strengthen it as well......"
Hearing Roy say this, Claire's eyes became bright.
He said with some excitement, "I can still buy two bottles of the Lion King's Power Potion, in this case...... You can also increase your strength! ”
"Roy, I suddenly realized that this duel didn't seem so bad."
With that, Claire stood up and dragged Roy from the grass as well.
"Roy, I think we both should practice a little longer...... Roy, do you have heavy armor? I can get this stuff for you, what do you want? ”
Roy thought for a moment, he had seen several elven warrior statues in the corridor on the first floor of the academy's main teaching building.
Not only did the statues have weapons, but they also wear armor.
One of the elven warriors with a spear in his hand wore a suit of chain mail that left the deepest impression on him, so he said to Claire:
"Preferably some kind of chain mail, long like a trench coat, and a pair of chain mail boots, gloves or something."
Claire asked, "Are you sure you're wearing a full outfit...... Can you still move? ”
In fact, Roy didn't know, so he could only say: "How can you know if you don't try......"
Claire felt that Roy was right, so she said, "Or ...... Pick out a well-fitting chain mail with me in the afternoon? ”
Roy hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow morning, there is still something to be done at the temple in the afternoon!" ”
"Then you have to come early, we can't bring the chain mail to class." Claire instructed Roy.
"Know ......"
……
Every Wednesday at the Statue of Liberty assembly, a choir sings hymns in the main hall.
As one of the lead singers of the choir, Sabrina would arrive at the temple at noon.
Roy is also going to help out at the temple after class.
The two men ran to the entrance of the college almost at the same time, and then took the same carriage to Brown Street, and trotted all the way to the gates of the Statue of Liberty.
The believers gathered at the entrance of the temple entered the temple one after another, and Roy and Sabrina slipped into the courtyard through the side door.
Sabrina rushes to the main hall to take over the lead singer of another choir, while Roy changes into a probationary priest's robe and runs to the side hall to help Priest Theodore.
To Roy's surprise, this time Priest Addison was actually in the main hall, but his face seemed to be coated with a layer of white powder, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, he covered himself in a black robe, and just stood beside Archpriest Reed the whole time, silently standing there praying.
Roy sneaked a glance at Anderson from the side, and there was a kind of despair in his eyes.
Sabrina stood out in the choir in a light gauze dress, and Roy couldn't help but look twice as he passed by the main hall.
Probably two meetings in a row, the Grand Priest Reed was offering the holy water from the holy pool, and when he was leading the believers in prayer, twelve holy rays were lowered in front of the idol of the main temple.
So at the end of this rally, I felt that Grand Priest Reed was also feeling an indescribable tiredness.
After the temple assembly, Roy still needs to be in charge of the final cleaning with Jasper and Abt.
While cleaning the temple, Jasper whispered to Roy:
"Roy, you didn't come yesterday, Abt and I secretly cleaned up the ship, not only sealed the big hole in the bilge with a wooden plank, but also installed a ladder on the right side of the ship, which can climb directly to the deck of the big ship."
"However, the things on the ship were very clean, and the things in the captain's room were almost empty, leaving only some furniture such as seats, benches and cabinets that could not be moved......"
