Six Ring Wizard

There is an open space in the castle's training ground dedicated to swordsmanship training. There is a wooden shelf next to the open space, and there are sharp long swords on the shelf.

The guards usually use real swords for training, but they do not use sharp swords, which ensures a certain degree of safety.

Herage and Emil each held a long sword and stood facing each other.

Emil personally taught Herage swordsmanship, which can be said to be very important.

He said to Herage: "The purpose of swordsmanship is to kill the enemy. My swordsmanship does not have fancy moves like palace swordsmanship, and there will not be any unnecessary sword styles."

"Chop, chop, stab, pick, block!"

"These five words are the eternal foundation of all swordsmanship. As long as you practice these foundations solidly, the rest is the cultivation of combat experience."

Emil took a deep breath, raised his sword and slashed forward suddenly, causing the wind of the sword to stir up a burst of dust.

His movements were so fast that if it weren't for the aid of the chip, Herague wouldn't be able to see Emil's movements clearly.

"This is the normal speed. I will slow down a bit next. Please pay attention to the details of my movements. Don't pursue speed when you first start learning swordsmanship. You just need to do every movement in place."

Emil slashed forward with his sword again, and this time Herag could see his movements clearly by himself.

"Try it." Emil said after finishing the demonstration.

"Deep Blue, activate swordsmanship training assistance."

A little blue man appeared in Herage's field of vision, demonstrating the essentials of the split move.

He adjusted his movements according to Shenlan's prompts, and then slashed forward with a sword.

"The wrist exerts too much force. You should use more arm strength." Shen Lan immediately gave a prompt and corrected Herage's force exertion method.

Emil also saw the problem and said: "The action looks good, but you should use your arm strength more and try again."

Herage recalled the feeling just now, found the right point of exertion, and slashed forward again.

"Very good! I'll teach you a few other tricks next." Emil rarely smiled.

Throughout the afternoon, Herage practiced basic swordsmanship, and the speed of learning impressed the always serious Emil.

Herage never thought about hiding his clumsiness. He was originally from a humble background. Only by trying his best to show his own value would others invest more resources.

"You continue to practice during this period. I will provide you with some opportunities to practice later. People who have not seen blood cannot become a knight."

Emil was already training Herage as a preliminary knight.

"Thank you, Lord Emil! Thank you, Lord Baron!" Herage expressed gratitude.

After a day of practice, Herage received his salary from Butler Ivan as soon as he arrived at the hut.

"Steward Ivan, there are five more silver coins. New." Herage opened the money bag and found that the salary was more than before.

"Not much, Mr. Herrag. Captain Emil reported your situation to the Baron and specially raised your salary." Ivan was a gray-haired old man, smiling kindly.

"Oh, I see……"

Emil never told Herage about this matter, maybe it was just a trivial matter in his eyes.

After Hellage received his salary, he came to the back garden carrying a can of good wine he had bought.

"Old Henry, I brought you wine!" He walked into the garden and saw old Henry lying on a chair with his eyes closed and meditating from a distance.

"What kind of wine?" Old Henry moved his nose, but couldn't smell it.

Herage put the wine next to the chair and said, "I don't understand either. Someone went to town to do errands and I asked him to buy it for me."

"Let me see." Old Henry became more energetic when he saw the wine. He stood up, picked up the wine jar, opened the lid and smelled it.

"This is Marco's wine in town. His wine tastes really good." Old Henry looked intoxicated.

"By the way, my salary has also been increased. Now I have ten silver coins a month, and you can share half of it with me!" Herage took out five silver coins and stuffed them over.

Old Henry said scornfully: "Why do I need money at such an old age? I can't chew my bones anymore. When I go to town to find a girl, they are afraid that I will die in my belly. When I am old, I don't feel like I did when I was young when I spend a lot of money." . You are still young, take the money and go out in style, I have enough wine."

Hearing what Old Henry said, Herage recalled an ancient poem from his previous life: "I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry wine with me, but in the end they are not the same. I am a young man."

He suddenly thought of something and asked: "Old Henry, do you know how long a formal knight like Emil can live?"

"How old? There are very few knights who die of old age. When I think about it, the ones I've heard of before seem to be about a hundred years old. They live longer and stronger than ordinary people." Old Henry recalled.

"What about the great knights like Lord Baron?" Herage continued to ask.

Old Henry took a sip of wine and said: "The Great Knight is also a human being, they are all the same."

"Only about a hundred years old..."

Herage thought that the knight had extraordinary power and could live for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would only live a little longer than ordinary people.

"Old Henry, is there anyone more powerful than a knight?"

"More powerful?" Old Henry thought for a moment, "Of course there is, but those are all legends. It is said that wizards are more powerful than knights, but wizards are very mysterious, and no one knows whether they really exist."

"Wizard..." Herage silently remembered this term.

It was late at night when Herage returned to his cabin, and he spent the night drinking with old Henry.

After helping the drunk old Henry to rest, he still kept the five silver coins.

He is a man who repays kindness in return.

…

Half a month later, the castle training ground.

Herage was wearing a suit of armor and stood in a row with six other guards, waiting for the emir's instructions.

"A group of bandits appeared on the Pumpkin Farm. It is our responsibility to protect the safety of the people in the territory. The Baron ordered us to exterminate the bandits..." Emil said about the situation of this mission.

Herage has been working hard to practice the Earth Breathing Technique and basic swordsmanship for the past half month, and today he finally has a chance to practice.

"Although these are just a group of ordinary bandits, you can't take it lightly. You will die if you are stabbed with a knife!" Emil said some precautions.

Herage listened very carefully, and he felt that the other six people did not take this matter to heart.

Suppressing bandits is a common thing. Firstly, it is the responsibility of the lord, and secondly, it is also an opportunity for the lord to show his strength and deter others.

This era was very chaotic, and there were frequent conflicts between territories.

Every once in a while, Herage would hear about which territory had been annexed and where there was famine.

Bandits must be eliminated as soon as possible after they enter the territory, otherwise others will think you are easy to bully and attract more and more bandits.

This time the emir personally led the team to exterminate the bandits, and seven castle guards made up the crusade team.

Herage was still a little unfamiliar with riding on horseback, but fortunately he had knowledge about horseback riding in his memory. With Deep Blue's assistance, he quickly learned how to control the horse.
