Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Drawing of Lots
Aiman noticed that Savin's eyes were different from just now, not only full of confidence but also a strange feeling of penetrating himself, which made Aiman feel uneasy for no reason. However, Aiman quickly suppressed this feeling, the most taboo thing as a warrior is psychological cowardice, he must not let his psychological weakness appear, let alone face a young man.
Aiman took a deep breath, then nodded at Aiman, his body swayed, and his phantom footwork was unleashed again. Ayman was going to end the test in this round, and the delay was long enough, if Sawan could take his trick, he would recommend Sawin to the king, but Ayman didn't think that Sawin would be able to crack his whirlwind dragon slash in such a short time.
As Aiman's speed increased, Sawan felt like he was at the center of a storm, surrounded by flying dust, like a brown wall of dirt encircling the two men in battle. Eliza and Exevin were upstairs just now, and they could look down on the battle below, but when they arrived in the courtyard, they couldn't see anything because of the dust, and their tension suddenly increased a lot. As the saying goes, if you care, you will be chaotic, especially when Eliza saw that Sawan was knocked to the ground twice in a row, and the old man's strength was even greater than Savin, which made Eliza feel unprecedentedly nervous.
Surrounded by dust, there was a sudden violent sound of swords clashing, and then someone snorted, apparently injured, Eliza's face turned pale, and she kept praying in her heart that nothing would happen to Samin. When the fight subsided, the dust gradually returned to the ground, and Savin was seen holding an axe in one hand and covering his stomach with the other, obviously injured, while Aiman sat on the ground with a painful face, beads of sweat the size of beans coming from his forehead.
"Did Sawin win?" exclaimed both Eliza and Exevin at the same time.
The two hurried to the court, Eliza busily checking on Samin's injuries, while Exsewin busily supported Aiman. When the servants and butlers of the Earl's Court saw that the fight was finally over, they all came to help, and everyone returned to the living room and sat down, by this time Savin and Aiman had recovered a lot, and their faces had returned to normal.
Aiman was the first to speak: "The afterlife is terrifying, I look old. After saying that, he smiled bitterly.
Sawin was uncharacteristically very modest and said: "The old man is merciful, Sawin admires him very much, I don't know if you can teach me?"
Exewin glanced at Sawin and said, "Savan, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, and accepting disciples is not something that can be mentioned casually. ”
Puzzled, Sawan asked, "Can't you learn?"
Exewin was about to speak, but Aiman waved his hand to stop: "Don't blame him, Sawin is an honest man. Actually, it's not that I don't want to teach you, it's the limitation of my identity, so I can't take you as an apprentice. Speaking of this, Aiman sighed: "It's a pity, you are indeed a good seedling, it's a pity......"
Sawin didn't understand this, and said in his heart: "The rules of human beings are really troublesome, this is not good, that is not good......"
Exewin seemed concerned about the result, and she asked Ayman, "Sir Ayman, do you think Sawin passed the test?"
Aiman pondered for a moment and said, "I'd like to ask Sawin a question first. Savan, how did you see through my last sword?"
Sawin was a little embarrassed, blushed and said: "Actually, I look at the reflection on the sword, your footwork is very fast, I really can't tell the difference, but the shadow is not reflective, I judge which sword is real and which sword is fake by observing the reflection of the sword body......"
When Aiman heard this, he suddenly said, "So it's this...... Although you haven't really seen through my swordsmanship, it's not easy to think of this solution in an emergency, and you can think of a way just by looking at the three swords, your understanding is very good, but it's a pity that ......"
Exsewin saw that Ayman had said a pity several times in a row, obviously moved by the idea of accepting an apprentice, but because of the restrictions of his identity, the old man could not get what he wanted, so she persuaded him: "Sir Ayman, although you can't take Sawin as an apprentice because of your status, it should still be okay to give him some guidance." ”
Aiman's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded approvingly: "Not bad, yes, it should be okay to give some pointers." Well, I'll take the time to come back before the game and give Sam a few advice. ”
How clever Exewin was, and without waiting for Savan to speak, he hurriedly thanked Ayman on his behalf: "Thank you, Sir Ayman, I thank you for Sawin first." ”
Seeing that Exewin thanked him, Sawin hurriedly followed, "Thank you, old man!"
"Hehe, you don't have to be so polite. Aiman said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
After sending Aiman away, Exewin said to Savin: "Now you can compete, take advantage of these few days to ask the old jazz a good advice, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is not impossible to improve your strength to a higher level in a few days." ”
Savin wondered why Exewin was so enthusiastic about his game, and he asked, "You care so much about the game, why don't you participate in it?"
Exewin replied: "The rules of the competition are only for men, otherwise I would have participated a long time ago, and I would have to wait for you to ......"
"Oh, I see. Sawin suddenly said, "It's true that women shouldn't be fighting and killing all day long. ”
"You don't come, you give me more seriousness in the competition, you know how rare this opportunity is, how can you represent the king without me helping you fight for it. Exewin said angrily.
"I'm not a rare king, I can sign up myself, doesn't it mean that everyone can sign up?" said Savan sneeringly.
"You really don't understand anything, is it the same thing to represent the king and compete for yourself?" said Exevin with a sigh as he shook his head.
"What's the difference, isn't it all the same game?" said Samin, unconvinced.
Exewin knew that it would be difficult for him to explain the mystery to Samin, so he sighed and said, "I'll know when you participate." ”
For the next few days, Samhain was forced to practice every day by Exsewin, and Sir Ayman took time to make another trip. This time the two did not compete, and Ayman patiently explained to Sawan a lot of techniques and principles on the use of weapons, and the two of them soaked in the courtyard for a whole afternoon, and Aiman explained and demonstrated to Savan at the same time.
Although Hortz had taught Sawin a lot of basic skills before, the competition in the arena and the field battle of the mercenaries were completely different things, the ones that Hortz gave to Sawin were more suitable for fighting in the field, while Aiman was a hero who came out of the arena, and the two battles were completely different. For example, Aiman's whirlwind dragon slash, this kind of martial art is difficult to use in the wild, especially in group battles, who will give you the time and space to rotate and accelerate calmly in a chaotic situation? However, this set of swordsmanship is very powerful in the arena, and Aiman relied on this set of swordsmanship to achieve 70 consecutive victories all the way and become a well-known hero.
Aiman's explanation made Sawan understand the other side of martial arts, it turned out that not all martial arts on the continent were used in field battles, and there was also a completely different kind of martial arts in the arena, which was born in pursuit of the subversion of martial arts. Although Aiman was unable to take Savin as an apprentice, he did not hesitate to teach Savin a set of footwork how to increase his speed to a dizzying level in an instant.
Aiman said to Savan: "Your explosiveness and strength are very good, but you can't fully exert yourself, I can give you some experience in this regard, but more you need to understand yourself, only by knowing how to use your own strength, can you become a generation of masters, the purpose of learning martial arts is to better exert your strength, you must keep this in mind." Sawan remembered that Hortz had said something similar before, but Ayman had spoken more thoroughly, and Sawin felt that he had benefited a lot.
On this day, Sawan was in a hurry to practice, with Exewin as a sparring partner and Eliza cheering on Sahain. Everyone in the Earl's Mansion was extremely envious, this kid is really blessed, two big beauties accompany him alone, when will he get such a god's favor.
A butler from the Earl's Court suddenly came running in a panic, and he said to the three of them in a sweat, "Out of ...... It's out!"
"What's coming out?" the three asked, puzzled.
The butler gasped a few times, and then said: "The results of the lottery are out, they have been announced, and they will be posted at the door of the big arena, and it will officially start the day after tomorrow." ”
Savin and Eliza didn't understand, but Axevin did, and she nodded, "Okay, let's go and see." ”
"What the hell is going on?" asked Savan.
Exevin explained: "That's right, the draw for the match has been announced, let's go and see. ”
The three of them set off for the Colosseum after a little preparation, and when they got there, they were really scared to death, the huge square was crowded with people, and everyone gathered in front of the bulletin board while pointing and expressing their opinions.
Eliza said with a sad face, "There are so many people, how can we get over?"
Sawin patted his arm and swore that "I'm still afraid of them with my body?"
"Don't squeeze through, my eyes can see, you just let me step on your shoulder," said Exewin. ”
Although Sawin was a little reluctant in his heart, he couldn't stand the chirping of the two women, so he had to half-squat down and let Exevin climb onto his shoulder. Exewin's balance was excellent, and he stepped firmly on Savin's shoulders with both feet, and raised his eyes to look at the billboard. Elves' eyesight is several times stronger than that of humans, even Sawen, a dragon, can't be compared, and it didn't take long for Exewin to find Sawen's name, and after reading it, she jumped off Sawen's shoulder with a slight smile.
"How's it going, who am I playing against?" asked Sawan with concern.
"Hehe, now it's time for you to understand what it does to represent the king. Exewin smiled: "You qualify directly in the first two rounds, starting from the finals. ”
