Chapter 13 Lightning Reflexes

(I just sent a short message to the site, the book has been successfully signed, double is a celebration, don't ask me why there are a lot of time code words today (づ╥﹏╥)づ)

William was woken up by A Jin. They were in an unfamiliar environment, and they all kept a little vigilance, so they took turns to watch the night.

After waking up, William kept his composure and asked Ajin tentatively, "Did you find anything unusual last night?"

Seeing A Jin shaking his head in denial, William heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that A Jin could not see what he saw in the space mirror, such as the inexplicable light spots.

The bonfire rising in the night sky attracted many light-seeking flying insects around, and even pounced directly into it. An extremely fast flying insect slammed head-on at William beside the bonfire, but he quickly stuck out his index finger and With a light pinch of the thumb, the poor creature was restrained.

William's eyes flickered for a moment. After waking up, he was going to tell him that it was very different from before, but he couldn't talk about it. However, the subconscious movements just now made him understand that the unpredictable space did have an impact on his body. affected.

William raised his right hand and brought the struggling flying insect to his eyes. He could naturally catch this flying insect by concentrating his attention before, but it was not easy to control the force as lightly as he is now.

Although it hasn't reached the point of being reborn immediately, William is already very satisfied, because sufficient exercise can also improve his reaction ability, and the improvement of potential can help William break through the ceiling layer by layer.

The protagonists and important characters in Japanese anime are often set as the descendants of celebrities and powerful people. Although William has not seen much, he has heard a little bit. In fact, this statement is not accurate. It is more accurate to say that it is the mainstream of fantasy-themed hot blood. In anime, it is more common for the protagonist to be set as a second generation.

Probably because the common problem of this kind of animation is that after changing the dungeon, the strength of the new enemies will be greatly improved. In order to pursue refreshment and impact, I can't wait to make the new dungeon's miscellaneous soldiers stronger than the previous boss. In this case , Let the readers and audiences accept that the protagonist can continue to improve in this mode. It is obviously the most convenient way to arrange a good father for the protagonist, and the potential of the protagonist has a reason.

This is a very tricky thing for the traversers. In the previous life on the earth, no matter how big the physical gap between ordinary people and humans is, it is not exaggerated to the point where they are almost not a species, but fantasy-themed comics are different. , William is also worried that he will work desperately, even if he is struggling to squeeze every cell of himself and squeeze out all his potential, limited by his ordinary aptitude and physical fitness, and he is only at the level of a small boss in the early stage of comics, then many of his arrangements may not be useful up.

Fortunately, the mysterious space in his mind did not disappoint him.

...

After killing Denton, William seems to have changed his luck. Originally, William was still worrying about what to do if there was no ship to take them away. Unexpectedly, after they lived on the island for three days, they encountered a passing merchant ship.

The youthful faces of the four ex-pirates William, Arkin, Aramis, and Wallon played a huge role at this time. Although there was a little concern about their weapons, the rampant criminals these days also It cannot be said that all people with weapons are bad guys.

In addition to food and water, Denton brought a small amount of property in addition to food and water. William left a lot of money for the kind ship owner before leaving the merchant ship with his three friends. , landed on the densely populated island, turned the boat a few more times, and finally came to the famous swordsmanship dojo in the mouth of Aramis, the location of the "Yinxin Dojo"-Shuangyue Village.

Frost Moon Village is located within the main waterway, and there are many ships docked in the past, and the flow of people is frequent, so the speed of information dissemination is much faster than those remote villages that deviate from the main waterway.

That is to say, whether it is any strange news from the outside world or any interesting news here, it is easy to spread in and out, and be attracted by the people traveling north and south on the pier as an interesting talk.

In the social background where pirates are rampant, there is a local armed force organization that can somewhat provide a guarantee for local security, and the owner of the dojo is a person with real talents and knowledge, so Yixin Dojo is quite well-known in Shuangyue Village.

William is very good at everything, wandering around the pier and local taverns, he found a lot of information about Yixin Dojo and its owner, Koshiro.

In the tavern, Ajin watched William smiling and chatting with a bearded and drunken sailor for a while, and then walked back to the wine table where he was waiting for others. When he was seated, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is it?"

In order to inquire about the news, William drank some alcohol. This body was obviously not as badly tested by alcohol as in his previous life, so his face was slightly flushed, but his consciousness was still very clear. After restraining his smile, he said: "The master of this dojo It should be someone with real talent and learning. This village is adjacent to the main waterway, but there is no naval base around it. Pirates dare not patronize."

Ah Jin and the others showed a smile, but William didn't seem too relaxed. Originally, he was worried that the Yixin Dojo and the master of the dojo were not strong enough. They could not learn anything and wasted time and money. There are new worries,

The owner of Yixin Dojo, Koshiro, has a good reputation in the local area. In addition to the existence of him and the dojo, there are few pirates in the village, but also because he only charges a small fee for the students who come to study. If it is a family, it is really difficult. , Students who can't even afford low tuition fees but are willing to learn swordsmanship hard, even he will pay for the students' board and lodging by himself.

The Yixin Dojo is a big local landlord. There are paddy fields around the dojo, all of which are under the name of the Yixin Dojo. There is no need to worry about not being able to support students. This is where the problem lies. William inquired, and it stands to reason that the fields of the dojo maintain the operation of the dojo. It's more than enough, but the dojo still buys food frequently. Adding all these together, he always feels that the master of the dojo, Koshiro, has a big plan and is buying people's hearts.

After hearing William's analysis, Wallon said in a muffled voice: "Maybe it's used to deal with those corrupt officials. You don't know. When some officials collect land taxes, they think that small households' fields are scattered everywhere. Afraid of trouble, I simply went to the local big landlord to collect it, and then asked the famous and powerful local landlord to collect it from the small household. According to the local people, the owner of this dojo has a good heart, and maybe he carried the land tax by himself. down."

"Then where did he get the money?" William asked back.

Wallon touched his bald head and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Aramis persuaded in a low voice: "William, we are pirates! Are you still worried about what he thinks and what he is going to do? If he really has ulterior motives, isn't it good? Even if we expose some lies , being recognized as a pirate, there is no need to worry about him reporting to the navy or not teaching us anything."

After thinking about it, William felt that what Aramis said was not unreasonable.
