Lu Ming was sweating in the training ground, with magic devices on his wrists and ankles, and a black iron sword in his hand, practicing the swordsmanship he had just obtained from Syru.

It is said to be one of the inheritances of the Earth Temple, called the Earth Sword Technique. Cultivating to the end can attract the power of the earth, which is extremely powerful, and there is no requirement for the attribute of fighting energy.

Since it is the secret of the Earth Temple, Lu Ming deliberately found a single room, and he needs to pay some fees for this, which is really a drop in the bucket for Lu Ming. A few days ago, Siliuer got a few hundred gold coins out of nowhere, and all of them were handed over to Lu Ming, who is now barely a rich man.

The Earth Sword Skill is divided into some basic moves and four powerful skills, which are Earth Splitting Slash, Earth Center Slash, Earth Guardian and Earth Phantom Slash.

Ground Slash is a long-range attack, as long as the enemy is locked, a sword slash will generate a crescent-shaped energy slash on the ground, the specific size and attributes are related to the user. The crescent-shaped slash travels quickly across the ground, quickly approaching enemies, and once hit by this attack, it creates a massive blast of energy.

Lu Ming practiced for a long time and still didn't know the essentials, and each time he either only sent out a short distance, or he couldn't even condense the crescent moon shape.

It seems that this sword skill is not easy to cultivate, Lu Ming has a plan in his heart, no longer blindly practicing hard, but resting first, thinking about this sword skill, whether there is a mistake in his understanding.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the door of the training room, he met Belmin and Sagira.

"Lu Ming, you have made it so hard for the two of us to find it in the past two days. As soon as Belmine met Lu Ming, he began to complain.

Belmine continued, "You've been hiding from us enough, tell me, how did you know Jessica?"

It turned out to be this incident, Lu Ming showed a wry smile on his face, and remembered the charm of that day, as well as the beautiful teacher with a hot figure.

"Oh, I just met Ms. Jessica, but my grandfather and Dean Deggai knew each other, so Ms. Jessica took care of me. Lu Ming explained.

Belmin and Sagira looked thoughtful.

"I see. We heard about it last time, although it took advantage of the other party's light enemy, but your squire is really strong, and he was able to defeat Pais. Sagira praised.

"Of course, Alpha is talented. Lu Ming said proudly.

"By the way, the two of us have known you for so long and haven't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, and it just so happens that this time a friend is in the Sanga Tavern in Hadi City, so you might as well go with the two of us." Belmin suggested.

This is a good proposal, not only can you see the appearance of the Hardy City bar, but also be able to meet the young people of Hardy City, Lu Ming readily agreed.

The Sanga Tavern was a long way from the southern part of Hadi City, and Belmin called a horse-drawn carriage, luxuriously decorated with expensive carpets and well-made leather cushions, and spacious enough for four people to sit comfortably. The two horses pulling the cart were tall and handsome, and there was not a trace of variegation on them.

As soon as you reach the door, you will be struck by the huge signboard of the Sanga Tavern, which depicts an ornate longsword and a radiant wand, and the two weapons are crossed together in a cross shape. Behind the two weapons is a naked and glamorous woman, showing off her perfect body in front of people's eyes, which is very eye-catching.

There is also a redbud flower painted next to the signboard, indicating that it is a redbud industry.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the richly decorated bar, because it is daytime, there are not too many guests, only three or two sit in front of the table, but there are two tables of guests in the hall, drinking together to the fullest, very lively.

The group looked like mercenaries, as their armor had not yet been removed, and they wore their respective weapons around their waists.

Only mercenaries who have been in danger for a long time will be like this, always vigilant. Among them was a bearded man, as strong as an ox, who gulped down the wine from his glass, and from time to time slammed the glass against the table, looking very excited. There were also two men drinking and chatting together, and another beautiful woman, dressed in light armor and showing her slender calves, was quietly drinking on the side.

Several of them looked like members of a mercenary group, and they had gained a lot this time.

The other group was easier to distinguish, a total of five people, four men and one woman. The women sat in the arms of the blonde men, all dressed in the noble clothes that only nobles could have, and they spoke elegantly.

Seeing Belmin's arrival, the blonde man stood up to greet him, "Hey, Bermin, Sagira, you're hard to see. Belmin, you haven't had a good drink with us since you entered Hardy Academy, you don't really want to be a magician, do you?"

Belin smiled, "Kleist, I'm not like you, I have the right to inherit from the earl, and my father's official position can't be hereditary, so I have to work hard to cultivate." ”

Then he glanced at the beautiful woman beside Kleist, "You are still so romantic, this is a beautiful flower, I didn't expect you to be able to catch it." ”

The woman smiled sweetly at Belmin's compliment, and took Kleist's arm tighter, drawing closer to Kleist.

Kleist shook his head, "Speaking of romance, I'm not as good as Cecil's kid, I heard that he recently fell in love with a commoner woman, who is very beautiful, this is the fifth, right? ”

Feeling that Lu Ming didn't understand at all, Belmin explained in a whisper.

He and the people in front of him were the children of the nobility, playmates who had grown up together, and they were either not talented enough, or for other reasons, they did not enter the Hardy Academy.

One of them, Kleist, was the initiator of this gathering, and his father was an earl, and although he had no territory, his title was hereditary and his status was noble.

The other three men were all children of the viscount, but they had more than one male in their family, either an older brother or a younger brother, so whether or not they could inherit the title depended on their usual performance.

The man named Cecil was different, he was the only son in the family, and although he was not able to inherit the highest title, he was only a viscount, but he was the freest of them.

This person is lustful, and he has already found I don't know how many women, because Fadu can't be too arrogant, so he specializes in looking for those women who are amorous by nature or civilian women. Once you succeed, it won't be long before you get tired of playing and look for your next target, and it is said that you have abandoned four civilian women.

In the eyes of the aristocracy, commoners are nothing more than objects that can be wantonly bullied, as long as no one causes death, no one will care.

Belmin's expression was disdainful when he mentioned Cecil, and he had no good impression of this bully of the weak.

Sagira's father was a security commander, so his behavior was with a military atmosphere, and he did it generously, "Kleist, it's a good thing you didn't choose the VIP room upstairs, you see how lively it is, this is what a bar looks like." ”

Kleist smiled slightly, "I knew you kid would like it." Then he glanced at Lu Ming, a new face he had never seen before.

"Oh, this is Lu Ming, a new friend we made at Hardy Academy, with a high level of talent and an unlimited future. And I'll tell you a secret. Belmin deliberately sold a pass when he said this, and when he saw that everyone showed a look of expectation, he slowly spoke, "Princess Betty of the Duchy of Posay has a soft spot for him, and I will take it in a short time." ”

was mentioned about Betty again, Lu Ming was a little embarrassed, he thought that the relationship between the two was still far away.

After listening to Belmin's words, several people's eyes lit up, and they began to observe this young man carefully, he has extremely high talent, can become a strong man, and is very likely to make meritorious contributions to the Gelug Empire, and will be able to be knighted in the future.

Even if you can't be knighted, it's a happy thing to have a strong friend. Several people quickly and enthusiastically talked with Lu Ming.

Lu Ming is a self-acquaintance, and several people have a good appetite, and they quickly got into a hot fight.

After a few glasses of wine, a flush appeared on Kleist's face, and he took another sip of wine, "Brothers, let me tell you a piece of news, now the border with the Duchy of Thane has begun to deploy troops and prepare strategic materials, and I think it won't be long before the war will start." ”

Belmin's brows furrowed slightly, and he said seriously: "Kleist, you are drunk. This is no small matter, and you can't talk nonsense. ”

Kleist was suddenly shocked, this was military information, and he was going to be charged with a crime if he leaked it, and half of the wine woke up in an instant.

"Ahem... I'm just guessing, most of it is fake, not true. ”

After saying that, he glanced at the other table of mercenaries, who were still drinking happily, unaware of the conversation here. Kleist couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly cursed himself that he must not get drunk casually in the future.

"What are you going to do in the future? I think everyone is not too young, and you should plan for your future. All day long there were idle birds in this royal capital. In order to ease the atmosphere, Kleist found a topic.

"I'm going to join the Court Mage Order, that's been my dream since I was a child. I will make a great effort for this. Belmine said.

Sagira looked a little drunk, her eyes glazed over, "I... I'm going to the Knights of the Mountain, man... You have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and protect your family. ”

"Well said!" Sagira's speech was praised by the crowd, who raised their glasses in celebration.

"I... I just want to be with Kleist and what he's going to do is what I'm going to do. The beautiful woman beside Kleist whispered, a little shy.

Everyone secretly scolded Kleist for taking shit luck, and unanimously demanded that Kleist punish himself with a drink, and he drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Ming looked at the two of them enviously, he thought of Elena, if she didn't have that blood contract, would she still be like this, would she still support herself like the woman in front of her?
