Ark of the Immortal

But the exchange with Maria that night made him see another person in a trance when he saw Maria.

That's an immortal person who just instinctively took over someone else's ideals from someone's hands and embarked on a journey that shouldn't have been his.

Along the way, some people laughed at him for not overestimating his abilities, and some people became his enemies.

He has also been confused, he has lost his goal, and almost became a living corpse.

Maria's sister, the Radiant Knight, is the light that guides Maria forward and is her sun.

And in the long past, there was also a person who became the immortal sun.

That man longed for the sun, but on the way to his goal, he had become the sun for other immortals.

He became the confidence of the immortals in facing powerful enemies and the strength for the immortals to overcome obstacles.

But now, when the weak Maria talked about her sister, the yearning in her eyes was exactly the same as what he had seen before.

How could the undead not feel angry for her?

"well said!!"

Maria clapped her hands excitedly, applauding the undead man's speech.

She thought the two sentences the Immortal just said were so cool!

"this..."

Zofia was speechless.

It's not that she doesn't know what the immortal said. But she really couldn't bear to let Maria go through such suffering.

"Maria."

Zofia said with affection.

"You have to know that this is not a responsibility that you should bear. You still don't know the meaning behind the knight's competition..."

"But, Aunt Zofia."

Little Maria turned to look at Zofia, with a childish tone and serious words.

She unconsciously looked like another person.

"If it's not me, who can stand up?"

After saying that, little Maria stood up and turned around to face the undead man.

She took the initiative to take on responsibilities that a child should not have to bear.

She once stared at her sister's leaving figure and vowed to protect the honor of the Linguang family.

Now, she lowered her supposedly proud head and faced the knight in front of her who was fighting against fate.

"Mr. Immortal."

Now, she lowered her supposedly proud head and faced the knight in front of her who was fighting against fate.

"I, Maria Linguang, make a request to you. Can you teach me the skills of knighthood?"

When the immortal heard this, he also stood up from the ground and looked down at the weak child.

At that time, he was so weak, and he also longed for the sun.

"I'm asking you. What do you think a knight is?"

Maria's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and then she said firmly.

"I don't know what a knight is, but I feel that the honor of a knight should not be masked by false interests. Knights who fight for the glory of their family and themselves, like my sister and aunt, must be right!"

Zofia blinked her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes for some reason. She looked at Maria as she looked at the former Margaret.

They are all the same, adhering to the honor and virtue of knights.

"Sights should not be short-sighted."

The dull voice of the undead swayed from the thick armor.

"A knight is more than honor."

Maria suddenly looked up at the undead man, her beautiful golden eyes filled with joy.

He didn't refuse!

"Teacher! Please teach me!"

"Ah..."

The immortal chuckled.

His eyes looked at Maria, but they seemed to have penetrated the long river of history, looking at the phantom of the distant past.

In Rodlan, the land of ancient kings, there once lived such an immortal who yearned for the sun.

The shield in his hand is an ordinary iron shield with a simple sun painted on it.

The straight sword in his right hand is an ordinary iron sword, and even the blade is scarred from the battle.

"You want to shine on all things."

But his eyes were full of perseverance, and his words were inspiring.

He stretched out his right hand to the depressed undead man to pull him up.

Like the sun, he spreads warm light and dispels the fear in the hearts of the undead.

He was smiling softly.

"You want to become the sun."

31. Miracle recovery

Ding!

The iron rods collided with each other. Little Maria took a step back out of breath, and then struggled to hold the iron rod in front of her.

Ding!

There was another attack, and the tiger's mouth of little Maria's right hand was shocked to the point of numbness. She took two steps back again and almost fell to the ground.

"Strength, focus. Block, keep your eye on the direction."

Accompanied by the deep sound, there was another swing of the iron rod!

Ding!

The iron root struck the iron bar that Maria was blocking, knocking Maria down to the ground.

"Ha...ha...teacher..."

Maria squatted on the ground, her right hand was numb, and the iron rod fell to the ground, clanking twice on the ground.

"Ten minutes, then, continue."

The undead man threw the iron rod in his hand to the edge of the bonfire and sat down by the bonfire.

Maria stood up from the ground, dragged her tired body, and imitated the undead, came to sit down by the campfire, and then took out a small handle device from her arms.

This is a portable spell-casting tool, and Maria panted as she used her Origin Stone skills.

A pure white light shines from Maria's hand. This light is slowly smoothing away the numbness in Maria's right hand, slowly restoring her remaining physical strength.

This was already the third day since Maria obtained the Immortal's consent the day before yesterday to learn knightly skills from his side.

After returning that day, Zofia, as one of Maria's guardians, prepared an apprenticeship gift for the undead on Maria's behalf.

A shield engraved with the emblem of the Linguang family, which symbolizes entrusting a part of the Linguang family to the undead.

On the second day, Maria also earnestly half-knelt in front of the undead and performed the ritual of accepting the teachings of her master in the Casimir tradition.

The undead man thrust a long sword in front of Maria, and Maria pulled out the long sword and gave the undead a knightly salute.

This symbolizes the inheritance between knights, just like the old knight entrusting his faith and skills to the young knight.

Although the undead man was not interested in these things, he even found them a bit troublesome.

But Zofia and Maria still insisted on performing this ceremony. This is the etiquette they must abide by as knights and nobles. From this point of view, they are quite traditional.

The way the undead taught Maria was the most common and outrageous method.

Sparring.

The undead man did not let Maria learn the most basic slashing and blocking skills, but directly threw an iron rod to Maria and asked her to pick it up and use the iron rod to fight with him.

An iron rod about one meter long, Maria had to put in a lot of effort to learn just to swing it freely.

The undead man even gave Maria a death order.

Maria was not allowed to let go of her weapon until she lost. Once the weapon is knocked away or falls to the ground unsteadily, Maria's sparring session is immediately declared over.

Maria spent the whole day yesterday learning how to keep holding the iron rod in her hand under the steady attack of the undead.

The use of iron rods was also the immortal's own idea.

Although Maria has never given up trying to get started on her own, she still has too little time to practice seriously, and the postures used by the Casimir Knights have been almost engraved in Maria's mind.

Therefore, the only way to get rid of Maria's bad habit of wielding weapons as quickly as possible is to let her understand what moves she can't resist the undead's attack and what moves she can resist.

Every two seconds, the undead man would swing a manual iron rod and hit Maria's body at random angles.

This cruel method made Zofia almost rush to fight with the undead at the beginning.

Fortunately, Kuranta's body is tough enough, and Maria is also a knight and noble, so her physical fitness is definitely not bad.

Although several bumps were knocked out on the first day, with Maria's own Origin Stone skills, she still came to the undead man as scheduled the next day and continued today's sparring.

Speaking of which, I must mention something.

Maria's own Source Stone skills are derived from the Linguang family's traditional Source Stone skills, which are all light.

It can shine brilliantly, heal itself or strengthen its attacks.

Of course, as Maria gradually develops her Origin Stone skills, there will definitely be other uses.

But for now, Maria's Origin Stone skill has the greatest effect.

It means being able to heal your body after being beaten for a day by an immortal.

This will prevent your body from being able to move when you wake up the next day.

Originally, the undead man planned to help Maria heal herself. After discovering that Maria could heal herself, he silently put down his left hand, which was about to activate the miracle.

Ten minutes passed quickly. The undead man stood up and picked up the iron rod again. He reached out and pushed the tired Maria next to him.

Maria took a deep breath and stood up from the ground.

Her request was no joke, and she knew it. It would be her biggest regret if she could not cherish the teachings of the Immortal.

"Teacher...please continue!"

Maria held the iron rod firmly with her right hand and stared closely at the undead man's right hand.

She quickly grasped the key point. Before defending, she should clearly see the trajectory of her opponent's moves.

The moment the undead man moved, Maria's pupils shrank and she subconsciously raised the iron rod in her right hand.

Ding!

The iron rod stood straight and received all the force. Maria originally wanted to move the iron rod to the right, but she did not have enough reaction time.

When he saw the undead man's hand, he had just raised his hand, and the shock caused by the collision had already wrapped around his right hand.

too fast!

Maria exclaimed in a low voice, why she felt that her teacher was a little faster.

In fact, it wasn't that she was too quick to die, but that after a whole morning of sparring, Maria had to use Origin Stone skills to treat her injuries.

Maria is now in a state of mental and physical exhaustion.

That's why she couldn't clearly see the undead's moves, and it was harder for her to fully withstand the undead's power.

"Attention, defense. Try, fight back."

The undead man reminded Maria. He could see that little Maria was exhausted. But he still launched his attack on time two seconds later.

Ding!
