Section 8 Parting
The Viscount, who had just returned from killing the brutes, set out again, and this time, he was targeting all the islands off the coast of the Misty Sea!
All the fish-people have become the target that he must destroy.
And with him on the expedition, it is still the growing young master Griffin.
Lance silently watched his brother and father disappear at the gate of the castle, and suddenly had a hint of understanding.
The two of them are really alike.
"This is their life, their journey. Lance thought silently: "And I, I'm going to take a different path." ”
......
After the death of the Amman wizard, there was not much left to Lance. The next morning, Lance went to the Moonlight Tower, and found that the entire Mage Tower had been closed, and the two potters were nowhere to be found. According to Lance's guess, it should be the measure set by Amman.
Once he dies, the entire Mage Tower will enter an automatic lockdown situation. No one can enter.
Lance also found a small magic mechanism in front of the Moonlight Tower, and with his current knowledge, he could only barely tell that it was a second-order magic mechanism. Only after becoming a level 2 wizard can he crack it.
"Does the teacher mean that this mage tower will only be handed over to me after I become a second-level wizard?" Langston understood the old wizard's intentions.
So he turned around and returned to the castle.
For the next half month, it was as if nothing had happened. There was a strange atmosphere in the castle, and it seemed that overnight, everyone knew that Young Master Dowlans was about to leave.
No one came to provoke Lance.
Lance himself, on the other hand, is immersed in the process of frantically improving himself. Twenty-four hours a day, six hours for sleeping, eight hours for meditation, after the excess of magic power, he repeatedly used magic guidance and spell identification of these two 0-order spells, until his magic power was consumed, and then continued to meditate; six hours spent practicing swords, with the passage of time, with the help of the fox, his spirit fox swordsmanship became more and more proficient, and gradually approached the three hundred times mark to improve physical fitness. Lance's goal was to improve his fitness by completing as many as three hundred exercises as he could before leaving the castle.
The remaining four hours, in addition to eating and drinking, were evenly divided between making beating grass and practicing archery.
His time was full, and although he went in and out of the castle every day, he was lonely and lived on a desert island alone.
Fortunately, when he practiced swords, Erin accompanied him.
The girl was very serious about learning swordsmanship from Lance, and she had a good understanding and quickly mastered the basic swordsmanship. So much so that in the next few days, Lance began to teach her the Spirit Fox swordsmanship he had just mastered.
Erin also seemed to know that Dowlans was leaving soon, and her little face, which had been showing joy, was getting gloomy day by day.
The two of them didn't say much when they practiced their swords, but they each waved the wooden sword in their hands, and at most Lance gave a little pointer when Erin had a problem.
In Erin's perception, Lance seemed to go crazy, closing his whole body and mind, only to know that he worked hard and tried hard.
In this process, the days passed.
......
Half a month later.
On the martial arts field, Lance methodically wielded his swordsmanship. Several soldiers of the patrol watched from the sidelines, and they couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Young Master Lance's swordsmanship is getting more and more exquisite, and it seems to be similar to that of Bolona's boy. This is the true thought in the hearts of all those who have seen Lance dance the sword.
Linghu swordsmanship, as the name suggests, is a swordsmanship that focuses on skill and agility. If you want to master this swordsmanship, you don't need to be too rebellious in physical fitness, but you must have a good understanding. Only by integrating this set of swordsmanship can it exert its greatest power.
Ordinary people practice Linghu swordsmanship, and they must repeatedly ponder the use of skills and the coherence of swordsmanship, but Lance does not use it.
The main chip fox has a powerful analysis function, which can directly point out all the combos and sword combinations to Lance, and plays a very important auxiliary effect when fighting.
Therefore, when others practice swords, it is difficult to start at the beginning, and the process is boring in the middle, and finally realize that it is the most difficult to get to the door, while Lance is a little troublesome at the beginning of sword practice, and gradually gets better in the later stage, but the more he practices, the easier it becomes!
"Whew!" the wooden sword swung like the wind, and Lance's movements became faster and faster.
With the last sword move, Lance slowly put the wooden sword back on the shelf, and then wiped a sweat.
Erin on the side didn't seem to notice Lance's movements at all, and was still practicing the sword moves that Lance had just taught her.
Lance rested for a while to check his physical metrics.
That time just now was the hundredth time Lance practiced the Spirit Fox Sword Technique.
"Master, the scan results show that your current physical fitness is:"
"[Constitution 1.0, strength 0.9, sensitivity 1.0]"
"Congratulations to the master, your physical fitness has improved again!"
Lance smiled with satisfaction, he had worked so hard to practice his swordsmanship for so many days, for today. Now his physical fitness has long been out of the situation of ridicule and weakness, and he is basically very strong among ordinary people!
The 1.0 physique can also maintain Hawkeye for a longer time, greatly improving Lance's combat ability. What's more, the Spirit Fox Sword Technique itself is a very practical sword technique, and it may come in handy on future journeys.
"Fox, calculate how much physical fitness you can improve by continuing to practice the Spirit Fox Sword Technique. Lance ordered.
The fox quickly gave the result: "Continue to practice the Spirit Fox swordsmanship, the second cycle needs to practice a full set of swordsmanship 900 times, and it is expected to improve the physical fitness and physique by 0.1/strength 0.1/agility 0.2."
"Nine hundred times?!" Lance frowned, but he wasn't surprised by the result. After all, after the first cycle of basic swordsmanship last time, he was mentally prepared.
It's just that the complexity of the Spirit Fox Sword Technique is far more complex than the basic Sword Technique, and if you want to practice it completely, it will not only take a lot of time, but also consume more physical strength.
"It seems that it is impossible to use this method to continue to improve physical fitness in a short period of time. However, after the second cycle of practice, it is still very beneficial, especially if I can increase the agility by 0.2, and I can't give up on this attribute. "Lance made a new plan for himself. From today onwards, I will practice the Spirit Fox Sword Technique once a day in the morning and evening, and if I persevere, it is estimated that my physical fitness can be improved a little after more than a year.
Cultivating swordsmanship is a matter of accumulation, and with the help of the fox, Lance has already taken a shortcut. But in this world, there can't be any shortcuts, and Lance knows this.
Be patient and diligent, not impetuous. He admonished himself secretly.
......
"Master Lance, the old butler is looking for you, and he is waiting for you in your room right now. A coquettish voice suddenly sounded, and Lance looked at it, and it turned out to be Bonnie.
He nodded at Bonnie and glanced back at Erin to see that the girl was still practicing.
So he didn't bother Erin and followed Bonnie back to the room.
The old butler of the castle has been waiting for him for a long time.
"Master Reims, here's your ticket. When the old butler saw Lance, he very respectfully gave Lance everything he needed. It includes a ferry ticket, a small package.
He opened the package and found that it contained five large gold bars and a few scattered gold coins.
He counted more than thirty small gold coins.
The gold coins of this world are generally referred to as small gold coins, which are about the size of Lance's fingernails. It is said to be a gold coin, but in fact it is mixed with a lot of copper. The package that the old butler gave him was really worth the five gold bars, which Lance estimated to be worth about five thousand gold coins.
Five thousand small gold coins is also an astronomical amount for Viscount Lane, who owns five territories.
Lance couldn't help but feel moved again.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll personally take you to Riverrun. The old butler said, "It will be there in about two days, and in four days the ship will depart." ”
After saying this, the old butler respectfully withdrew from the room.
Only Lance and Bonnie were left standing.
After a while, Bonnie whispered, "Master Lance, I have already packed your luggage for you." The rest of the clothes are in this small box, except for the one you packed yourself. There were two sets of summer clothes to change into, and I also stuffed a thick cotton jacket into it, and the weather should cool down after a while. If you are out there alone, you must take care of yourself. ”
Lance took a deep breath, looked at Bonnie, and said with a wry smile, "Bonnie, I'll ...... after I'm gone"
"Young master, after you left, I was arranged by the housekeeper to work in the textile workshop in the castle, you don't have to worry about me. The girl said deftly.
It's just that although she lowered her head, Lance still saw a teardrop flash in the corner of the girl's eye.
He sighed in his heart and waved his hand: "You go out, I want to read a book alone for a while." ”
Bonnie obediently stepped back.
Lance sat there quietly, doing nothing for the first time in more than ten days, just in a daze.
From the time traveled to the present, it seems that time has only passed for a short time. The scene when he had just reached this world was vivid, as if it were yesterday.
And tomorrow, he's leaving.
"I don't belong to this castle in the first place, so there's nothing to be sad about. Lance muttered to himself.
So what's wrong with that, or is it a little sad?
......
In the quiet night, Lance lay alone in bed, recalling all kinds of memories of his past and present lives, and actually lost sleep.
He tossed and turned in bed until late at night.
Knock knock, knock knock.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door. At first, Lance thought he had misheard, but then the knock on the door grew louder and louder.
He stood up, got out of bed, and opened the door.
A figure threw herself into his arms, his body stiffening before relaxing.
The faint girlish fragrance entered his mouth and nose, and the girl's soft body wanted to cling to him.
"Brother Lance......" Erin hugged Lance tightly, her voice like a sob.
He didn't know what to say, so he just hugged the girl.
As the night darkened, the heartbeats of the two could be heard in the quiet room.
"Brother Lance...... I like you......"
Suddenly, Irene's faint voice came from the darkness.
Lance's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but carry Erin to the bedside.
"Uh-huh~" The girl's body became hot, and she took the initiative to kiss Lance's lips, as if she wanted to melt Lance with her body.
However, Lance stopped her enthusiastic movements. He just hugged her, quietly holding her.
"You're my sister, Irene. Lance said.
Erin was silent for a moment, as if sensing Lance's firmness. Her body slowly relaxed, and her voice became muffled:
"I like you...... I've liked you since the beginning. ”
"Do you remember when you were a kid when you told me stories in books? I remember every story you told me before. ”
"When I was eleven years old, I passed by my father's bedroom, and heard him discuss with the eldest lady that when I grow up, let me marry you and be your wife. I couldn't be happier. For three whole nights, I didn't fall asleep. ”
"But then, you became more and more withdrawn, and I don't know how to help you. I want to practice swordsmanship because I want to protect you one day. ”
"Brother Lance now is not the same as before. But you're still the one I like. I don't know how powerful the magic is, but I know that the path you have to take must be very hard. ”
"I just hope you're safe...... Come back. ”
By the time it came, the girl's voice had changed to a sob.
Lance was silent, he gently stroked Erin's hair, and said:
"I'll be back. ”
"Definitely. ”
