Chapter 20: The Way Home5
At six o'clock in the morning, Gehr woke up punctually.
In the early morning, a bright light shines through the car windows, and although it is close to summer, the air is still a little cool.
Opening his eyes, Gehr slowly propped himself up from the bed.
A white silk quilt slipped off his body, revealing his bare upper body.
Suddenly, there was some movement on the right side, and a small hand came to Gehr's body from the right side.
It's Sophia.
Gehr looked in the direction of his hand and saw Sophia lying on his side, her small body curled up and sleeping soundly. It may be that the morning breeze brought in by Gehr when she got up made her feel a little cold, and at this time she was trying to roll the quilt on her body more firmly, and also reached for Gehr's side to drag the quilt more.
Thirteen-year-old Sophia is quite mature, and her bumpy figure is not covered by thin silk.
Gehr's father may have died young, and in addition to Gehr, the boy born to his wife, there were only a few children born to the maids, and these unrecognized children did not have much higher status in the territory than those of the squires, and they all had to rely on work to support themselves.
Like Sophia, because of her good appearance and temperament, she was often remembered when Gehr's father was alive, and her mother's status also rose a lot, not only to provide a certain share of expenses, but also to dine with Baron André and Gehr. Although it was only at the end of the table, it was much better than other people who were not even qualified to sit at the table.
When Gehr's father died, in order to ensure that her status would not end up as a servant, Sophia put all her future reliance on Gehr under the guidance of her mother.
This situation is very common in traditional aristocratic families, and many children who have no inheritance rights and are not recognized by the bloodline can be recognized by the "brothers and sisters" who have obtained the orthodox qualifications of the nobility if they are lucky, and become their relatives, and if they are lucky, they may become recognized as a branch of the nobility in their next generation or the next generation. Such people and nobles call it "Holabiso", and consciousness is a vine clinging to the rock.
Now, the only person Sophia can choose to rely on is Gehr, and her life is connected to Gehr, which is why Baron André finally chose to believe her.
Waking up early in the morning is the time when men are most angry, and this is due to the instinctive reaction of the body, and Gehr, who is sixteen years old and very well physically exercised, is no exception.
I looked at my lower body with some embarrassment, and a large piece of pants was pushed out between my legs, which showed the energy of this body very bluntly.
It may have been that Gehr's movement was a little louder, and Sophia on the side also rubbed her eyes and got up, and she was at her angle just enough to see the large bulge on Gehr's lower body.
Sophia was a little overwhelmed, leaning back on the bed in a daze.
It's not that Sophia doesn't know what to do next, it's just that she is a little hesitant because of the girl's shyness, and if Gehr takes the initiative to move her, she will accept it very softly. In fact, in many aristocratic families, this kind of relationship is the right thing to do, and it must be created, and it is the easiest way to deepen the relationship and get better treatment from the family.
The embarrassment didn't bother Gehr for long, straightened up and jumped out of bed, and Gehr began to look for his own clothes to wear.
"Brother Geer, I'm here to serve you. Seeing Gehr's movements, Sophia also reacted immediately, and hurriedly got up to serve Gehr to dress.
"You go and ask the conductor to bring hot water to wash me. Although Gehr had been enjoying similar services during his time at the castle from his old memory, Gehr had been dealing with this kind of thing by himself during this time, and he was not used to it for a while.
"That's good, brother. ”
After Sophia left, Gerle went to the window and opened it completely.
Outside the window was an endless wilderness, and the crisp breeze rushed in through the window, and the little sleepiness that Gehr had left quickly subsided.
The death of Baron André, the dispute over the inheritance of the territory, the potential threat of the Philippian Restoration Army, and the invisible hand behind the scenes, all of these things have been so passive that Geer has been dealing with them passively, and there is no way to calm down and study his own path carefully.
But last night's vision made Gell seem to see something through the layers of fog ahead.
"I felt a little bit yesterday, so let's go experiment later. Gehr leaned against the window and thought quietly. "It's a pity that according to the current energy absorption rate, it will take at least a week to open the next stage of the functional module, and it may not be able to catch up, and now the only thing that can be improved is swordsmanship. ”
After waiting for a while, Sophia brought a silver face full of hot water and a towel, and helped Gel wash up.
After the two of them finished washing, they went to the dining car to have something to eat, Gehr told Sophia to let her stay in the box obediently, and he went to the martial arts training car again.
Yesterday Gehr had asked the train to help book the use of the carriage from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., and the two hours belonged to Gehr.
After all, even if the current stage is mainly to practice swordsmanship, but the original advantage cannot be thrown away like this.
After the full activity, Gehr began to practice swordsmanship.
As soon as Gehr got started this time, he had a completely different feeling from before. The straight knife in his hand is no longer a simple weapon, but seems to have a subtle connection with Gehr, as if it has become a part of Gehr's body.
For a while, Gehr's body was difficult to adapt, and it seemed to have changed back to the stumbling feeling when he first started his swordsmanship training, and the straight knife in his body and hand often did not match his thoughts, and the whole thing was disjointed, and he often needed to slow down to barely keep up.
But this situation did not last long, and as he practiced his swordsmanship again and again, Gehr's movements quickly became more and more fluid and faster from intermittent and extremely slow.
The blade sliced through the air, constantly bringing a slight sound of breaking wind, which represented that Geer's mastery of swordsmanship had entered a new stage. Every slashing and stabbing action, Gehr uses the smallest contact surface of the straight knife to act with the air, which means that this is the fastest action with the least loss of force conduction, and it is also the most deadly, effective and hidden swordsmanship.
Before he knew it, Gehr was getting more and more involved in his training, and he was immersed in this set of swordsmanship that gave him a completely different feeling.
The straight knife in the brain, body and hand seems to have become a gear in different positions as a whole, and every minute and moment is cooperating better and more precisely, and the power is getting bigger and bigger.
Slash, slash, stab, parry.
The movements became more and more graceful and smooth, and the sound of breaking wind became smaller and smaller, until finally it was almost nothing.
“...... Death Thorn Swordsmanship has been increased, and the current level is 56% of the entry-level ......"
“...... Death Thorn Swordsmanship has been increased, and the current level is 96% of the entry-level ......"
“...... Death Thorn Swordsmanship has been improved, and it has entered the proficiency level by 12%......"
......
Gel turned a deaf ear to these prompts, still indulging in this wonderful feeling.
“...... Clang...... Bell ......"
The wall clock hanging in front of the door of the cultivation carriage rang, reminding Gehr that it was time for him to practice.
Gehr recovered from the state of practice, and suddenly found that two hours had passed like this, and then looking at the skill series in the monitoring module, the Death Thorn Sword Technique had reached 100% of the proficiency level. According to the reaction of his body, Gehr could be sure that if it were not for the limitation of his physical fitness, he would already be proficient in swordsmanship.
"This is the precious gift that Baron André and the original Gehr left me, not a skill, but an understanding of swordsmanship. ”
After tidying up, Gehr opened the door of the cultivation carriage while wiping his sweat with a towel.
A tall and strong black-haired man was already waiting at the door, and in his hand was a two-handed cross heavy sword, this kind of murder weapon that only existed on the battlefield suddenly appeared here, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The dark-haired man smiled and nodded to Gehr, who smiled back.
Watching the black-haired man enter the training car and close the door, the conductor on the side took down the sign that said Griezmann on the door and replaced it with McLean's, Gehr followed the conductor towards the bathroom.
......
After a comfortable bath, Gehr returned to the box.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sophia jumping up like a frightened fawn, scrambling to hide something in the pillow. The sharp-eyed Gehr recognized at first glance that it was the "Alchemy Foundation" he was carrying.
Gehr didn't break it.
It's really boring on the train, and it's generally the city aristocracy who runs the leisure car for entertainment, and it's difficult for a nobleman like Gersophia who comes from the countryside to communicate with the city nobility, so I don't plan to go again after going there to see it. But if you have to stay on the train for three days, in addition to sleeping, reading a book when you are bored is also a good choice.
"Let's order food. ”
"Yes, Brother Geer. Seeing that Gehr didn't seem to notice her movements, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to pull the bell to ask for food delivery service.
After eating, Sophia went to arrange for a waiter to clean up the room. When she returned, she was shocked to find Gehr sitting at her desk, still holding the book "Fundamentals of Alchemy" that she had hidden.
"Do you want to learn?" asked Gel softly.
Sophia bit her lower lip, her hands twisted together in her lower abdomen, and for a while she couldn't spit out the word.
"Tell me, do you really want to learn?" asked Gere, staring into Sophia's eyes, earnestly.
"Yes, brother, I want to learn!" Looking at Gehr's eyes, Sophia suddenly felt that she had the courage to firmly say her thoughts to Gehr.
"Very well, sit down and I'll teach you. ”
"Ahh
"First of all, let me test your writing skills......
Sophia nodded like a chicken, picked up the pen that Gehr had given her, and began to write under Gehr's guidance.
