Indescribable tarot cards

Leyden City, Albert Manor.

"The steps must be light, the force must be strong, and the sword must be swung quickly!"

Alice was wearing a short fighting outfit, holding a wooden sword without a blade, and warned Aaron.

On the other side, Aaron's chest was rising and falling violently, trying to keep his breathing steady.

For sparring, he deliberately wore only a loose silk vest, but the vest had long been soaked with sweat and completely stuck to his body.

As soon as the breeze blew outside, he could feel the chill of early spring that had not completely receded, which made him shiver involuntarily.

Alice also noticed his embarrassment at this time and asked with concern: "Are you going to continue?"

God knows what he was thinking. He started sparring with her early in the morning, saying that he wanted to gain some practical experience. He even took out two wooden long swords made according to the Kingdom's standard from nowhere. sword.

It's just that Aaron's enthusiasm for learning is worthy of recognition, but Alice also has to admit that Aaron's swordsmanship is... very bad.

In other words, even very bad is a euphemism.

Alice, who grew up in the Iris family, naturally received the most orthodox swordsmanship training. Even because of her bloodline, she also learned a variety of different swordsmanship.

Having received instruction from a professional swordsman, she could see Aaron's current predicament at a glance - he had not received even a little training in swordsmanship. He was like a peasant who was new to weapons and only knew how to use a long sword like a stick. .

Although according to Aaron's current physical fitness, he can easily crush ordinary people, but to be fair, without the application of any extraordinary abilities, maybe a veteran of the Kingdom who has been beaten from the battlefield can kill him one on one. Aaron.

"Continue." Aaron coughed, breathed hard, and once again assumed the newly learned sword-holding posture.

"Relax your body, stare at me, pay attention to my eyes, and move." Alice said, while slowly stepping forward, the wooden sword pressed against Aaron's long sword.

She deliberately held back a little strength, just to let Aaron maintain the feeling of close combat.

Of course she knew that Aaron was almost at his limit at this time, so she tried her best to adopt a gentle approach. But from the touch of the wooden sword, she clearly felt that Aaron was a little nervous even holding the sword. It took a lot of effort.

"Maybe you should take a break. You've been practicing for almost three hours." Alice couldn't help but remind her.

Alice has part of the mountain giant bloodline and is a veteran bronze-level sword-type transcendent. She already has her own set of plans and plans for the use of physical strength. Of course, she can easily complete such intense sparring work.

In fact, in this sparring session, she was the one who took the initiative to attack, and her physical exertion was much greater than that of Aaron, who was passively defensive.

"Hold on," Aaron shook his head slightly and insisted, but his arms had begun to tremble slightly.

Apparently, he was indeed approaching his limit.

Even if Alice deliberately withdrew some of her strength, the wooden sword did not even hit him every time, but the continuous parrying for more than three hours was still squeezing his physical strength bit by bit.

If it weren't for systemic reasons, his physique was already far beyond that of ordinary people, and I'm afraid he might not have been able to persist for such a long time.

"That's enough." Alice sighed, holding Aaron's wooden sword casually, and even took it off without much effort, "You need to rest."

Aaron wanted to reach out and grab the wooden sword, but in the end he had no choice but to put his hands on his knees, took a heavy breath, and wiped his sweat casually: "We have no time."

In a few days, they will go to Badibila. No one knows what they will encounter in Badibila.

It can even be said that he and Alice, the two Bronze-level ones, are almost at the bottom of the food chain in Badi Billari, second only to ordinary people who strive to gain extraordinary power and Black Iron-level extraordinary people.

Although Ron didn't say it explicitly, Aaron could guess what they would encounter in Badibila.

Whether it's a murderous maniac on the run, a pervasive cultist, or a weird and unpredictable cult phenomenon, no matter which one it is, it is quite difficult for them now.

Even though Ron did have good intentions towards Aaron and the others, Aaron did not dare to put all his hopes on him.

In the face of death, everyone has the opportunity and room to make their own choices.

"I know, but you shouldn't fight so hard..." Alice hesitated, "Sometimes I'm curious about what the world is like over there. You seem to have never received combat training, but you still... So...lazy."

"Alice, our world doesn't have these weird gadgets. Oh, I mean, at least we don't need to fight. To us, these may be more like techniques and methods for strengthening our bodies, rather than using them to fight. Come and kill people.”

After taking two deep breaths again, Aaron recovered slightly and hesitated, "Alice, you know, I..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Alice put away the two wooden swords, supported Aaron naturally, and whispered: "After all, we are all the same person..."

Her voice was extremely low, as if she was talking to herself, so even Aaron didn't listen carefully even in front of her, and said doubtfully: "What did you say? After all, we are all...?"

"No, it's nothing, just, can you tell me something about your world?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Well, it should be said that each has its own splendor."

As they walked, the speed of the two of them slowed down. I don't know if Alice did it on purpose. She, who was originally supporting Aaron, took his arm and leaned on his shoulder.

The distance from the courtyard to the door was short, but it seemed extremely long at this moment.

"Then how did you get here?"

"I don't know... I came here out of nowhere."

"I've heard that some scepter or gold coin extraordinary beings can transcend time and space, and I've also heard that there seems to be other worlds outside this world," Alice's voice deepened.

As a member of the Iris family, she naturally has access to some secrets or knowledge that ordinary people don't know. This is why she can easily accept that Aaron is a visitor from outside the land.

However, she was still worried about another thing.

"You said, when one day you find that you can return to your original world..." Alice stopped and lowered her head to prevent Aaron from seeing the expression on her face clearly, "You will... …”

"Let's talk about it then, Alice," Aaron lowered his head and kissed Alice's forehead hesitantly, "I don't want to lie to you."

Although he may live here for many years, his heart will always miss the land where he was born and raised. Perhaps this land will never be his destination.

But before facing the choice, he really couldn't make a choice.

He is just a stranger.

A stranger in a foreign land.

Of course, so does Alice.

They were snuggling for warmth.

When two lonely people come together, they may no longer be lonely.

In fact, this chapter should be one hundred and seventeen, and the previous chapter should be one hundred and eleven...

As a result, there was something wrong with my operation...

It doesn't affect the reading experience very much, but it just feels a little bit worse...

If I change the chapter, it will have a great impact on the comrades who will follow it later, so I decided not to change it yet.
