Chapter 201
The Scarlet Fortress, the training square.
"Huh! Huh! Huh!"
The fierce breaking wind sounded, and the cross sword pierced the wind over and over again, leaving patches of light and shadow in the air, the sword The blade was brightly reflected in the light of the beating brazier.
Heath in a Swordsman suit on the square is doing sword technique training.
Although the focus has always been on the field of magic, the improvement of the sword technique has not fallen over the years. Everyday all will complete at least one sword technique training and Battle Qi cultivation.
Under his hard work, the improvement is remarkable:
"Strength 52.3, Agility 62.8, Physique 48.6."
All three Knight attributes It has reached about 50, especially the agility has reached more than 60. Now even without the help of spell, Heath can still have the speed equivalent to the apprenticeship [Garre], which is really scary.
Soon, after a sword dance ended, Heath retracted the cross sword into the scabbard.
At this moment, there was a round of applause outside the square.
"pa ta pa ta!"
Heath turned his head, but saw a middle-aged man standing on the side of the square, with a heroic imposing manner all over his body. , It is Robert, the commander-in-chief of Scarlet Fortress.
Heath saluted: "Robert is in charge."
Robert said with a smile full of air: "Dancing well, just this sword technique is the existing sword technique in the west coast continent. Masters can also be ranked in the top ten at least."
Heath humblely said: "Thank you."
On one side of the square, there is a weapon rack, and Robert walks over to take it from above. Down a cross sword.
He pulled out the sword qi and walked into the arena with a sword: "Compare."
Heath eyebrows raised: "sword technique?"
Robert nodded: "The sword technique, according to Knight's tradition."
Heath did not refuse either.
In accordance with Knight’s etiquette, the two parties retreated dozens of steps back in the square.
Stand still, Heath holds my sword with both hands, with the blade facing up forty-five degrees, in a gesture style.
Robert just stood silly on the spot with the cross sword in one hand.
Heath eyebrows raised: "Your Excellency?"
The gesture style is a vital part of the sword technique. The excellent gesture style can give Knight an advantage at the beginning of the battle. It even directly determines the final outcome.
Robert said with a smile: "You can attack it!"
Heath frowned and felt a little unhappy.
He was the champion of the dignified Arendt Tournament and the well-known Black Hair Knight of the Kingdom of Hiran. When was he seen clearly?
Robert noticed Heath's displeasure, but he did not correct it at all. Instead, he continued to add fuel to the fire and provocatively said: "What? Are you going to hatch the eggs there?"
Heath didn't deliberately control his emotions, and said domineeringly: "The last guy who spoke out in front of me has become my departed spirit under this sword!"
Robert continued to provoke: "Victory against the third-rate swordsman. Doesn’t it taste bad?"
"You will pay for your arrogance!"
"Then come!"
With a The interim referee announced the start.
"bang!"
Heath disappeared in the same place. The next second, he also appeared in front of Robert, and raised the cross sword in his hand to cut it down.
This sword, imposing manner is like a rainbow, like a lightning that tears through the sky. It has achieved the extreme speed of Heath, and he is confident that this is already the pinnacle of the sword technique.
However, in the next second he found out that he was wrong, and that he was wrong!
The sword is approaching, and Robert finally moves.
I don't see any special movements or moves. He seems to be holding the cross sword casually to face Heath's cross sword, and the movements are so casual, just like a child's play.
But it was such a casual sword, but I could only hear--
"clang!"
A cross sword flew up into the sky, rotating and falling to the ground, and then stuck it diagonally on the ground with a'chat'.
In the square, Heath is empty-handed and his expression is dumbstruck.
Robert is still standing with his sword so relaxed, as if he's coming for an outing.
He said with a smile: "How about? Third-rate swordsman?"
Heath was stimulated.
But at the same time, he was also shocked.
He asked: "Can I try again?"
Robert nodded: "Yes."
Heath walked over and picked up the cross sword, then He attacked Robert with two more swords, but the ending was the same. No matter what gesture style he adopted and how he attacked, Robert would defeat him with a casual wave of his hand.
After the third attack, Robert said: "Let’s stop here, the gap is too big, no matter how many times you try it, it’s useless."
These words sound very harsh, But Heath also knew that what Robert said was the truth.
He put away the cross sword, frowning in thought.
When Robert saw him, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you curious where he lost?"
Heath nodded.
This is something he really didn’t understand. Everyone is Great Knight. Although he can’t see Robert’s specific attributes, he can feel that Robert is not much stronger than him in terms of attributes. On the same level.
In addition to the power gap, Heath was even more shocked by his moves.
You must know that in the past few years, I don’t know much about the sword technique that has occupied the system and Heath network, not to mention the continent all over the west, but he has basically mastered all the sword technique of the dark tree sea. Now he is definitely a sword technique Master, everyone.
But just now he couldn't see what tricks or swords Robert used to defeat him.
He really just swung his sword casually at himself, and then he was defeated. He didn't even use a sword technique.
Heath sincerely said: "Please enlighten me."
Robert nodded, then explained: "You have no problems with the basics, strength and speed are very good, especially outstanding Your sword technique, you can see that you have a solid grasp of this aspect, and you should have learned a lot of sword skills."
paused, he continued: "The real gap between us is in the sword technique. Realm."
Heath wondered: "realm?"
Robert said: "Yes, the realm of the sword technique, the understanding of the sword technique."
Heath pricked his ears and waited for the following.
However, as if deliberately suspending the appetite, Robert did not rush to explain, but suddenly asked: "Before this, I have a question to ask you."
Heath Said: "Please tell me."
Robert asked: "Are you going to use the sword technique as your magic core and achieve rule magic?"
Heath asked in confusion:" The core of magic? Rule magic?"
Robert said: "It seems you don’t know anything."
Heath: "..."
Robert Then he asked: "What do you think is the biggest difference between our wizard and mortals?"
Heath thought for a while: "Formidable power? Abnormal physique? Long-term lifespan?"
p>
Robert said: "What you said is all."
paused, he went on: "But the more important thing is time."
"We compare The ordinary person has more time and longer lifespan, which allows us to understand and recognize this World more, and integrate what we understand and recognize into our magic, and establish A set of rules and domains that belong to us."
Heath seems to understand but not understand.
Robert then asked: "I don’t know if you have discovered that many powerful wizards, especially the Stigma wizard, have expertise in one aspect other than magic, such as music, poetry, and sculpture. "
Heath thought for a moment: "It seems to be..."
Just like human beings like to talk about idols, the stigmata level in Tower of Shadows is even more apprentices. One of the most talked about topics, every apprentice's experience with the Stigmata wizard is basically as precious as the past.
As soon as Robert reminded him, Heath thought for a while, indeed, as he said, many stigmata wizards, besides the wizard, also mostly work part-time as musicians, craftsmen, painters and other side jobs. Some are even great and famous in history.
For example, the wizard of the Tower of Order, Barbitos, the controller of the West of the continent, besides the wizard, he is also one of the best painters of the West of the continent. His paintings in the human world are almost Said to be a priceless treasure.
Robert continued to ask: "Why do you think these wizards waste time and energy to learn these messy things?"
Heath was taken aback.
Robert really asked this question, why? Interested in hobby? Too much time, idle and bored pass the time? Do you need a reason to learn?
Heath shook the head: "I don't know."
He never thought about this problem.
Robert said: "This is related to the core of spell."
"We all know, what is magic? It is nothing more than a group of energy particles according to specific rules and laws. Permutation and combination to form powerful energy, call the wind and summon the rain, Eternal Undying, etc."
He asked: "So where do these rules and laws come from?"
Heath said: "From the observation of nature."
There is a record in the book. The first wizards observed nature, observed the burning of flames to simulate Fire Element spell, and observed the falling of lightning. Simulate the lightning spell.
Robert praised: "Yes, the basics are very solid."
paused, he continued to explain: "Yes, the wizard’s spell is officially derived from the rules of nature Understanding and simulation."
"However, the rules of nature are not limited to these."
He slashed forward with a sword in his hand, and the space twisted, as if the whole space was directly It was cut open.
Heath eyes shined in this scene.
Because he clearly felt that there was elemental fluctuation when Robert swung this sword just now. In other words, this sword is not a sword technique, but a magic!
Robert went on to explain: "The sword technique of beheading the enemy is a rule, the music that is pleasing to the ear is also a rule, and the painting is a rule."
"We can simulate wind and rain, so why can't we simulate the sword technique? Can't simulate music?"
Heath was taken aback.
Robert said: "Use magic to simulate the sword technique and music, or use the sword technique and music to release magic, fuse together the two, and build it with it as the core. The magic."
"Such magic is called rule magic by our wizard, and the wizard that uses this type of spell is also called rule wizard."
