Chapter 225: An Unexpected Provocation
Sometimes he would personally instruct Philip, and sometimes he would have Buzz or other Templars parsing him with Philip.
Perhaps the talent is not as impressive as Philip, but these warriors are all highly trained and battle-hardened veterans, and Philip has benefited a lot from their experience.
He took the initiative to pay out of his pocket and invited these people to eat and drink, which has always been the only way for men to have a good relationship.
Of course, if he thinks about it, he doesn't care about the cost.
Soon, his good reputation among the group of temple warriors spread.
Although it is not the same system as the Snape family, these middle and lower-level warriors are still happy to be able to befriend such a powerful nobleman.
For this, both Leonardo and Bishop Melissa, who heard the news, were happy to see it.
But if you walk a lot, you will always encounter tigers, and if you knock too many melon seeds, you will always bite bed bugs.
On this day, Philip came to the temple again, and it happened that Leonardo had something to do temporarily, so Philip and Bas simply practiced two tricks.
Compared with the increase in ability and spiritual power, Philip is not weaker than the other party, but compared to the basic attributes and combat experience, Buzz is much stronger than him.
Compared to the Paladin, who was much higher, Buzz was clearly more suitable to be his instructor at this stage.
At this time, a group of samurai in armor walked in from the sidelines, the leader of whom was about 20 years old and less than 30 years old, with purple hair, a tall nose, and a square chin with a little groove.
But because of the slightly slender eyes and very light eyebrows, the young man looked a little mean.
A group of people entered the school grounds and walked straight in the direction of Philip.
The young man stood three meters away from Philip, raised his chin, and asked unceremoniously, "You are the student recommended by Melissa?"
"Philip O'Snape, who are you? Looking for me?" Philip naturally didn't have a good face for this kind of pretentiousness, obviously looking for trouble.
As if he had heard something funny, the young man looked up and laughed, and looked at the people around him playfully: "There are still people here who ask me who I am? ”
Bas held Philip behind him, stood in front of him and asked, "Odd, what do you want to do? ”
The young man didn't seem to take Bas seriously, and said disdainfully, "Bass, when did you dare to speak to me like that." It's none of your business here, don't bother yourself.
Of course I know who he is, the little lover of the princess of the empire, and my ears are itching to death when I hear his name lately.
I came here today to take a look, and it doesn't look very good. ”
Bass did look a little hesitant, but he didn't back down, still standing in front of Philip.
This touched Philip a little, and Bass was a good guy to make friends with, no matter what.
He was a little curious that this young man named Odd dared to call Bishop Melissa by name in this place, and the large group of people who hugged him back and forth were probably the children of the upper echelons of the temple, and his habits of being squirming were even more exaggerated than Philip himself.
Interesting.
Philip patted Bas on the back and stood in front of the young man, "Okay, uncle, what do you want to do?"
Uncle?
Odd was furious by Philip's title, he is only 26 years old this year, when will he become an uncle.
But the people around were already laughing, and there was an allusion to the colored joke that Philip told them when he was drinking.
At this time, when I heard Philip call the other party uncle, I couldn't help it.
Although they did not come forward like Bass, they all gathered around and faintly confronted the men brought by Odeh, separating them from Philip.
The silence was due to respect for the Templar insignia on the other person's chest, not because of the person.
After all, among the group, only Buzz is a serious Templar Knight, and his identity is equal to that of Odeh.
Odd glared at Philip, trying to see where this little imp came from to be so bold and dare to tease him here.
"Little ghost, I don't care what kind of champion you are, or whose lover you are, since you can be escorted into the Southern Seminary, you must have some ability.
As your senior, I'll point you out, just like Buzz just did. ”
Philip just wanted to nod, but was stopped by Bass, he pulled Philip aside, and whispered: "Odd is the grandson of the Bishop of Lisbon, and their Simon family has been serving in the temple system for more than two hundred years, so don't offend them.
This Aode is a second-level awakened knight, although his character is not good, but his strength is first-class, I don't recommend you to accept his challenge.
Leonardo is coming back soon, so you can bear with me for the time being. ”
Philip was a little familiar with the name of the Simon family, and it took him a long time to recall a lot of celebrity anecdotes that Bruce and Wesley had said.
There are many lace news and arrogant stories that always appear in the family's name.
He thought for a moment and said to Bass sincerely, "Thank you, Brother Bass, I know how to do it." ”
Bass thought he knew what was important and chose to compromise, a little discouraged but completely understandable.
But he didn't expect Philip to turn around and come to Odd, look at him without showing weakness, and said, "There is a knight's guidance, of course I welcome it." It's just that Big Brother Bass and they all gave me a meeting gift, as a senior, do you have to be interesting. ”
"Philip!" Bass said urgently, but Philip waved his hand to stop him, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
Odd laughed, and his voice was a little hoarse, sounding like an old owl.
When he had laughed enough, he said to Philip, "Interesting, little ghost, what do you want, there is nothing in this high city that I can't get." If you make me have a good time for a while, you can mention it. ”
Philip smiled and said, "Then it's decided, if I'm lucky enough to win a move and a half, as long as you apologize to Big Brother Bass."
Because your attitude just now made me very unhappy. ”
By the end, Philip's expression had become very solemn.
"Little ghost, you dare to fool me. Odd was furious and shot directly, without the slightest hesitation that he was wearing a full set of regular Templar Knight armor at the moment, except that he didn't have a helmet.
Fortunately, his weapon was still hanging from his mount, and he temporarily pulled out a training axe from the shelf.
Philip, on the other hand, was only wearing improvised armor for training, and he also had a broadsword in his hand that did not have a blade.
Seeing that this was not good, Bas quickly whispered a few words to his subordinates, telling him to go to the front hall to inform Bishop Melissa.
And he himself is watching the situation on the field, ready to shoot at any time, although his strength is far inferior to Odd, but he can also save Philip at critical moments.
Philip instantly turned on all his abilities, except for madness and strong walls, even his computing power was catalyzed by him to triple the amplitude.
Unlike Bass, the great axe in Odd's hand slashed at Philip's head with a howling wind.
After all, it is a second-level awakened Templar Knight, and his strength cannot be faked, and in an instant, Philip felt that his whole body was shrouded in ice and snow, and the other party's ability was actually related to temperature.
Philip didn't understand the science of this ability at all, he only felt that his movements were indeed affected, and his body shivered unconsciously, causing his reaction to be slightly slower than usual.
The surface of the great axe in Odd's hand and the armor on his body had formed a layer of frost, making him look like an ice man.
Every time the weapon collided and the body touched, a chill was transmitted, making his whole body stiffen, and soon the stinging pain from his hands made him feel like he was about to lose his grip on the cold broadsword in his hand.
The amplitude of Odd's speed was slightly inferior to Philip's, but the gap was not by much, and it was flattened by the effect of the frost.
But in terms of strength, its own powerful strength is much stronger than the current Philip under the doubling effect of amplitude.
Philip held his sword in both hands and parried with some difficulty, and after each collision, he would retreat a few steps back under his feet.
Odd's attack was not as calm as ice, but as furious as a blizzard, and the incessant attacks left Philip breathless.
The cold air he inhaled into his lungs made him feel a little choked, but it also made his mind unusually clear.
Suddenly, Philip stumbled on his feet and fell to his right.
Odd took a step forward, and the axe slashed at Philip's arm from top to bottom, seemingly not giving him a chance to adjust at all.
Who knew that Philip just made a feint, quickly adjusted his center of gravity, took a step back and bounced forward sharply, taking advantage of the time difference between milliseconds to avoid the attack at the same time, a sword slashed at the place where the opponent's axe body and axe handle were connected.
Bass, who was not far away, could see clearly that it was the same trick that Leonardo used on Philip that day.
The heavy axe slammed into the ground with a loud bang, but before Philip could chase after him, the half-sunken axe face was kicked away by Odd, and a large amount of dirt was carried into the air, covering Philip's head and face.
Philip's right eye hurt, and the secret passage was broken, and before he could rub his eyes, he heard a roar of metal cutting through the weapon in the blackened half of his vision.
He had no choice but to roll on the ground, hoping to distance himself.
But who knew that the broadsword in his hand had been stained by the ice, making his rolling a little clumsy and delaying his breath.
In this short breath, Philip only felt a huge impact on his left shoulder, and the whole person was knocked out.
He rolled on the ground four or five times before stopping, his entire left shoulder numb and unable to lift it.
If it weren't for the strong wall and strong defense, if it wasn't for the dodge and only scratching a little edge in time, if it weren't for the opponent using an unopened weapon for training, his shoulders would have been rolled up and his bones would have been broken.
Maybe his entire left arm was cut off.
An ordinary second-level awakened Templar Knight could be so strong, which left a deep impression on Philip, and that bit of superiority and arrogance from the Battle of the Imperial Capital Champions had disappeared at this time.
In retrospect, it even looks like a joke.
