Chapter 68: Apprenticeship

[The world is impermanent, life is like a tide, it goes and comes, and one wave covers one wave. - 4th day of the fire bee in the 148th year of the 4th era of light]

This apprenticeship, I was very serious and serious, but I didn't expect to be so by them in the end, I don't know how to proceed now, so I can only be arranged by a few girls.

"Don't worry, sir!" Rebecca shook me coquettishly.

"Yes, master! Scorpion boss slow down, or I'll smoke you! Alice also coquettishly and threatened the scorpion boss, how dare the scorpion boss disobey, and his mouth trembled: "Quack, quack quack (good, okay, hostess, slow down, slow down, change to walking)!" ”

"Hey-you're a worthless one, you're being coaxed by Alice as soon as she says it!" I don't have a good airway.

Along the way, I was a little unconvinced by the nose led by these beauties, and I was very annoyed; But it's really—it's so cool!

"My lord, we will go to Plumi City ahead!"

"What is that White Tower for?"

"That's the Ivory Tower, the sacred place in the heart of magicians!"

"What? A sorcerer's sanctuary? Otham, are you sure what sword god is here? ”

"Yes! Any questions? ”

"How could a sword god stay in the Holy Land of Magicians to retire? Are you getting something wrong? ”

"Hehehe, my lord, are you mistaken? Who stipulated that the Holy Land of Magicians could not produce sword gods? ”

"Uh-this-seems to be this reason!"

"Hahaha - Grandpa Pilochi is in Pramy, but he doesn't live in the Ivory Tower, he lives in Mount Karajili, which is his hometown."

"Karajili? Isn't that a handover with the Stormwind Empire! ”

"Yes, yes, so we have to go a long way to get there."

"Hurry up, I heard that the scenery on the mountains of Karajili is very good!"

Set off again, all the way to a mountain village in the Karajili Mountains, where the scenery is indeed good, and there is more fireworks than the sleeping mountains.

The village is very small and there are only a few houses, but the scenery is very beautiful, green mountains and green waters, green trees, birds and flowers, very suitable for the elderly, as soon as the location of Otham's sweet voice began to attack:

"Grandpa Pilochi, I've come to see you!"

As soon as the voice fell, a sturdy white-haired old man snatched the door out of a hut:

"Little Otham? How did you get here? ”

Otam suddenly showed a cute appearance that he hadn't seen for a long time and grinned, "Come and learn the sword from you!" Hee-hee-"

The white-haired old man's face turned pale, and he simply refused neatly: "Don't teach!" In the past, as soon as I taught you, you thought about running away, but now you must have an ulterior motive when you take the initiative to run, don't teach! ”

Otam stepped forward and grabbed the thick arm of the white-haired old man and shook it vigorously: "Okay, okay! It's the adults in my family who want to learn, so it's going down - hum, it's so stingy! ”

"Don't teach!" The white-haired old man's attitude was very resolute, there was no smile on his face, and he directly turned his face to the side.

At this time, Otam instantly changed his face, stepped forward and grabbed the beard of the white-haired old man, pulled it hard, and asked him fiercely: "Teach or not, teach or not?" Hmph, if you don't teach, Otam comes to pick your beard every day! ”

"Ahh The white-haired old man was so painful that his mouth crooked and kept asking for mercy.

"Hee-hee, that's pretty much it!"

Here Otam was pleased, but the white-haired old man was not, and somehow pointed the finger at me accurately:

"Is that you, boy?"

I almost gritted my teeth in that breath, and when I saw this, I dared to slack off, so I hurriedly bowed and saluted, and replied by the way:

"Hello, Master Pilochi! The kid's name is Tole. ”

I did tremble a little in my heart: This old man can't be provoked, just looking at his size and big hands, I know that he is a master with a sword, and his sharp eyes are full of swords, if you give me a look, then won't I turn my scum with five combat power into scum in seconds? No, no, you can't mess with it, you can't mess with it!

"Learned swords before?" I only heard him ask me coldly.

I hastened to answer truthfully:

"Nope!"

"Studied magic?" It's still cold.

"Learned, Otam taught!"

"The little girl taught? So why are you so bad now? It seems that if you don't teach well, or you're too bad! ”

That's when he hit me with a little emotion.

He hit me well, but Otam on the side was not happy, his hands crossed his waist, and he retorted angrily, and the posture was almost a demonstration with a big knife:

"Nonsense! No adult's magic is unmatched, and Otham's arcane laws are all taught by him! ”

"That's it, if it weren't for the adults—" There was also a helper on the side, naturally it was Rebecca, the little fan girl.

I see that this posture is not right, we are here to learn from the teacher, why just saw people and looked like they were going to fight, then it was okay, and immediately took out the posture of being the master of the house, and apologized while teaching their children a low posture:

"Shut up, did you interject? I'm sorry, the discipline is not strict, the discipline is not strict, it makes you laugh! ”

"The attitude is okay, but the qualifications are a little poor, for the sake of little Otham's face, the old man reluctantly points you a few tricks for him, and it depends on you whether you learn or not."

Hearing the answer of the old man Pilochi, I secretly sweated in my heart: It's okay, it's okay, it's really a group of girls who don't make people worry, but fortunately, people don't care!

So he replied very sincerely:

"Okay, thank you for the advice!"

It seems that my attitude is quite satisfactory to the white-haired master, and I only listen to him say casually:

"Look!"

"Storm Spike"

"Broken Moon Slash"

"Ground Splitter - try it!"

Watching his performance, my heart is like a galloping horse, and my mind is full of knowledge: drip-dong drip-squeak-squeak-ahhhh

After being stunned for a long time, he hesitated a little and said:

"Well, I'm sorry, Master! I'm not here to learn swordsmanship skills, I'm here to learn swordsmanship skills! ”

"What is the use of a swordsman who doesn't learn skills, only swordsmanship skills! It's a waste of time. The white-haired master began to change his face when he heard this.

The white-haired master's words set off the stubbornness in my heart, and at the same time I thought: skills? That's what you call a skill? The master is also in the skill space, and you don't even deserve to lift boots in this skill, so I'm embarrassed to talk to the master about skills.

However, this can only be enjoyed in the heart, but the mouth has to fight:

"Master thinks that skill is the foundation of swordsmanship?"

"Huh? You know swordsmanship! ”

"I don't dare to understand, but I've suffered in skills, so I want to start all over again!"

"Hehe, that's kind of interesting! So tell me, what's the effect of swordsmanship without skills? ”

"I can't say how useful it is, but swordsmanship without skill is better than using magic; On the other hand, swordsmanship is nothing more than the export of elemental power and natural power through the sword as a medium, which is not fundamentally different from magic;

In the case of equal strength, skill often determines the outcome of a battle, so I think skill is the foundation of swordsmanship, and the ultimate point of all power is to return to the essence. ”

"Look at you! I can't imagine that you are so young that you can tell the old man's understanding for hundreds of years; Tell me, how long are you going to stay here? How much do you learn? ”

At this point, my heart was light: this is convincing? Not more debating for a moment? It's embarrassing! It's too boring to make the thunder and rain small!

But what can be done? Who calls himself a man who asks for others? Then listen to you.

"The master is willing to teach the kid as much as he wants, and he can learn as long as the kid is willing to stay, everything is subject to the master's arrangement!"

I'm so sincere, and my posture is so low, who would have thought that this old guy wouldn't talk about martial arts and would slash at me with a stick.

"Look at the move!"

"Too much strength—not enough speed—less eyes, less physical sensing—yes, don't rely too much on ears and eyes—"

After I barely parried a few moves, I was just getting into the groove when the old guy actually stopped, and made me unhappy for a while.

And a pair of "Hmm! This kid barely got through. He looked at me with a look on his face, and then said in a very stinky voice:

"He stays, you all leave, my old man doesn't want to be noisy all day long by you delicate little ladies!"

"Grandpa, you're too much! Say we're delicate; Hum! How many of us are at the god level, do you dare to fight? ”

"Oh, so you're all pretty good!"

"Wow go! This is going to do something, if you can't do it, you have to stop it! I had such a sudden feeling in my heart, and I had a bad premonition, so I hurriedly spoke:

"Otham! You can't beat it, the master has also reached the middle stage of the gods, except for Alice and Zofia, you can still fight a dozen, and the rest of you are no opponents at all. ”

"Boy, yes! I can't see that my strength is not good, and my vision is so poisonous; It hasn't been long since the old man reached the middle stage of the gods, and he was seen by you so quickly, which is not bad! ”

The master smiled! They are too obsessed with power, so you, who are also gods in battle, are definitely their nightmares. ”

"Well—I understand it thoroughly, but it's still necessary to fight them!" The white-haired old man began to stand up.

"Do you use magic and skills?" Otam immediately stood up and asked.

"As long as you don't use the forbidden technique, whatever!" Old man Piloch said.

"It's not good! How bad it would be if it ruined this place! I hastened to voice my concerns.

But as soon as I had finished speaking, I heard the white-haired old man laugh with disdain:

"Haha-did you guys hear it, you're looked down upon by the juniors!"

"Miserable! I've been stirred up! I regretted it in my heart for a while, and quickly explained:

"No, no, no, master, you misunderstood, the boys didn't mean that, their destructive power is indeed not small."

"Boy! You're not looking down on us! He said with wide eyes.

"Humph! Old man, is my barrier papery? It's naïve to want to destroy a few spells! Suddenly, an unhappy voice came from a room, and at the same time stepped out an old magician with gray hair and a wide blue robe.

"Under the old man's iron fist, a few little babies must also be able to use magic and skills!" Another unpleasant voice came from another house, and at the same time stepped out a muscular old man dressed in abstract attire.

"Zofia! How could it be you? It was the surprised voice of the gray-haired magician.

"Old Pope! How did you end up here? Zofia also stared at the white-haired mage with wide eyes.

"Anthony, do you know this little baby?" Pilloche and the strong old man asked at the same time.

"What little baby? Zofia is the archangel of the Sanction Legion of the Temple of Light, she was already a god-level high level as early as 600 years ago, and there have been tens of thousands of battles large and small, who of us here has lived longer than her? ”

"It turned out to be her!" The two looked at each other and said at the same time.

"Zofia, I have heard that you have escaped from the protection of the God of Light and converted to the belief of the Most High God; Is this true? Old Pope Anthony asked.

"Yes, old Pope, this is my lord, His Majesty Tolai!" Zofia also happily introduced her old friend when she saw it.

"Tole, Tolai of Behemoth Manor? Aren't you dead? ”

I just wanted to face up to the old magician, but I was scolded for no reason, and I suddenly became annoyed:

"Old fellow, keep your mouth clean, curse who to die! Labor and management hate the lackeys of the God of Light the most, all of them are not good things, they are full of benevolence and morality every day, all of them are a group of wolves in sheep's clothing, under the guise of justice, and will only exploit and mutilate innocent people! ”

"Ahem—My lord, my lord, the old Pope broke away from the Temple of Light more than 200 years ago." Zofia seems to want to defend her old friend, but that doesn't calm the unhappiness in my heart:

"So what! Didn't he do this kind of thing when he was in power? ”

"Ahem-that adult, he really hasn't done it!"

Zofia's words directly stunned me speechless, this face smacked me, it was a "snap", my heart was already ashamed of myself, and I only felt a burst of heat on my face at the moment: "This-this-hehe-excited, excited, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

And then I suddenly heard a loud laugh -

"Hahaha-"

"Happy, happy-hahaha-scolding well, scolding too well, I can't imagine that young people nowadays have this kind of courage, so good--I'm Anthony finally waiting for this day to come, hahaha--God of Light, God of Light, your evil is still seen by someone after all!"

"Rebecca, the old Pope is also your great-grandfather!" Zofia said this coldly.

"What?" Rebecca exclaimed

"Oops, wow!"

I exclaimed at the same time, and then quickly turned around and bowed deeply to the old magician: "That, that grandfather, just now how much offended, how much offended!" I'm a big water that washed the dragon king's face - my family doesn't know my own door, don't be angry, don't be angry! ”

"Rebecca meets Grandpa, the great-great-granddaughter is King Joseph's third daughter!"

"You recognize relatives, don't leave a few of us aside, let's fight!" Piloch interrupted annoyingly.

"Who's coming first?" The strong old man on the side answered immediately.

I casually said, "Alice, you can't use arcane laws and magic in a fight with this master, you have to be careful with his fists!" ”

"Who's going to fight me?"

At some point, another old man I didn't know came out to call for battle.

"There's no hurry—little Jones, come one by one, put away your broadsword first!" The old pope said with a smile.

"What's the matter with the little girl? So powerful! An old woman I didn't know asked, looking at the two of them.

"My butler and personal bodyguard!" I looked at it and said lightly.

"You have such a powerful bodyguard, and you still learn fart swordsmanship!" Piloch suddenly scolded at me.

"There's no way, they all don't add up enough to poke a finger at the God of Light!" I had no choice but to tell the truth.

"What! What is your analogy? Or are you telling a joke to the old man? Is that comparable to the God of Light? Piloch added.

"What's wrong with the God of Light? Can the God of Light do whatever he wants? What happened to the God of Light? Can't we fight the God of Light? Does he have to let us be caught? Lao Tzu just doesn't believe in this evil! "I'll say again.

"Ox split! I really don't know if you are fearless for the ignorant or fearless for the ignorant. Piloch added.

"Actually, what my family said is true, he also killed multiple rank gods, including the God King-" Zofia interjected and said lightly.

"Don't listen to Zofia's nonsense! That's all in the past, I'm a weak chicken now, a scum with less than five combat power! ”

As soon as I heard that something bad was going to happen, I quickly interjected to explain, but someone still took it seriously, and Piloch immediately pointed at me and stammered: "You, you, you have the ability to kill gods?" How is this possible? ”

However, his words made me very unhappy to listen to them, and I simply hit the blow:

"No, it won't! Master, you are the number one sword god, and you don't even have the determination to kill gods, so how can you become a god? ”

"This—you're right—the old man finally understands what the problem is!"

However, this old fellow is by no means very human, and I obviously can't hit it, and the more I was surprised, the more I listened, the more wrong it became, and sure enough, I heard him arrogantly say:

"What about God! The old man fell with a sword, and a sword can kill the gods-hahaha-"

"Alice will definitely lose if she doesn't use stronger strength!"

In order not to find himself unhappy, he consciously changed the topic and shifted his attention to their competition.

"Otham, you have a game with the old Pope!"

"Lily, you fight with the knife guy!"

"Goji, compare yourself to that knight!"

"Zofia, you fight the master!"

"Rebecca, it's just you, you fight the guy hiding in the tree, she's an assassin, you have to be careful."

"It's still a sharpshooter, come on, let's try two tricks!"

After the arrangement, I secretly laughed in my heart: hehe! Look at how you still find faults, the master doesn't accompany you to chat, you can play by yourself!

Soon I couldn't be happy anymore, only complaining.

I asked the sharpshooter who was passing as I parried:

"Who are you? Why are they all so strong, but they are hiding here and living in seclusion! ”

"It's just a group of poor people who want to find peace in the last moments of their lives."

"Stop, stop! I throw in the towel! After a while, I really couldn't touch the corners of people's clothes, so I could only admit defeat.

As soon as I stopped, I heard—

"Master, Misha hasn't tried it yet!"

"You don't need to, there's no need to try, wait until you reach the high level of the god level."

"But aren't they just god-level too!"

"Their combat experience is a thousand times that of yours, and their strength is consolidated by themselves little by little, but you are different, you are forced to be topped by us, it is not a grade at all, so the most important thing for you now is to lay a solid foundation, otherwise I am a living example, do you think you can be like me without dying."

"Oh-yes, sir!"

After this battle, I basically figured out the fighting skills of the other world, so I respectfully said to several masters:

"Thank you for your teaching! Let's go back! ”

"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

"What else! It's too noisy to get too crowded, so it's better to go straight to fight monsters! ”

"What do you mean? Isn't it just that you can't beat a few of our old bones and lose face! Come on, if you are not convinced, you will fight again. The old man seemed to be addicted to the game, and kept gesturing with his great sword.

"No, no, no, the master misunderstood. I've seen the way you fight, and I've found out what the problem is. ”

I'm afraid that there will be a misunderstanding and hurry up to explain, but the more I explain, the more chaotic it becomes.

"Oh? That means you've got the hang of it! ”

"I don't dare to say that I have mastered it all, but I have a lot of insights!"

"Then try again, come on!"

I really want to slap myself hard in my heart: call you more mouths, call you more mouths! Well, now people won't let you go! Well, let's fight! Isn't it just a fight, sir, who have I been afraid of!

"Okay, then I'd like to try it with my fists, Master—please advise!"

As soon as I made a move, I used the move of that strong old man.

"It's- it can't be! You just watched it once, how did you learn it so quickly? ”

I sparred with Pillocchi with my fists and replied lightly:

"It's not difficult to master, and it's not so difficult to comprehend the essentials with hard thinking, but these are not enough in my opinion!"

"That's not enough?" Several old guys said in unison.

Rather than the old fellows' astonishment, Otam was very happy, and she laughed and said proudly:

"Hahaha - my family is a super genius, you still don't believe it. You guys are nothing, at least my master has studied and observed carefully, and when I first taught him magic, he didn't think about it seriously at all, and you didn't realize how big the blow I was, and even the heart of suicide! ”

"I don't believe it, compete with me, I use a gun, you also use a gun, we have a game!" This is the old knight.

"Okay! Can I use a knife at the same time? ”

"What do you mean? Do you still want to use different weapons with both hands at the same time? Pillocchi's eyes widened.

"Hehe, yes, I've played like this before, but I don't know if my current strength can withstand using two different weapons at the same time, but I still want to try!"

"Okay, use it as you like!" The old knight didn't pick a question, and immediately agreed to me.

Soon the scene got a little out of hand, and I kept hearing their chatter.

"OMG! He's cheating, how can anyone use different weapons with both hands, and they can use different skills at the same time, just like two people using it, he's cheating, it's definitely cheating! ”

"Since he also uses a knife, then I'll go too!"

"No, the knight is defeated, you see the change, now it's an axe - wow - another defeat, another dagger - a sword - cheating, definitely cheating!"

"Old Pope, don't call it, you can go too!"

Now that it's all here, why should I be polite to you old guys? One more is more, and ten more is more, so let's come together, anyway, isn't that here to improve my combat skills, master? You're welcome!

That's what I thought in my heart, so I simply let out cruel words:

"Don't look at it, come along! I feel that only by constantly fighting can I improve my skills faster and comprehend my skills faster - come on, let's go together! ”

"We? Is this underestimated? ”

"Seems to be like this!"

"Wow! Boy, you're crazy, on, you have to teach him a lesson! ”

"yes, I've got to give him some color!"

A few old guys, you all surround you with every word.

As a result, the number of people joining the battle gradually increased, and the pace became faster and faster, and the longer the battle lasted, the more skills I comprehended, and the more skillful I became.

Soon I saw that several of my own girls also joined in the fun, and the competition began to turn into a big brawl.

It's not just me who is immersed in this feeling, but the others are similar, even Otham, who is only addicted to magic, is also using his combat skills by leaps and bounds, and his cooperation in battle is also improving rapidly, after all, the opponents he is facing now are the top combat masters in the continent, and their skills are all after hundreds of years of beating, and the skills are even more flexible and changeable, and any contact can benefit a lot.
