The Collection of The End

——4E, 201, Last Seed Moon, 19th, 21:00——

"Come on, attack me." Si Keyue picked up a steel shield on the weapon rack, turned to Arthur and said, "Don't think too much, you don't have the ability to hurt me yet."

In the backyard of the "Yuevaska" long house, there is a large flat rocky ground as a martial arts arena, surrounded by some auditoriums with wooden pergolas, and various weapons are hung on the weapon racks beside the field, because it is getting late , and lit a torch.

"That's right, beat him!" Artis booed from the side.

Ella was talking with Bai Mane in the house, and the three Wells brothers also had something to say to each other. Outside the house, there were only a few members of the nocturnal comrades in arms sitting in the auditorium to rest. Arthur could only recognize the black-eyed Green Artis, he probably is too embarrassed to sleep in the residential area with those dark circles under his eyes?

Empty hands and a shield Want to resist the attack of a two-handed sword, and you are still one-eyed? Arthur hesitated for a moment, but immediately put aside under Cisco Moon's fierce gaze, because that look was very similar to a wounded snow tiger he had hunted once, and his throat was almost bitten off that time. Injured beasts are the most dangerous, and Si Keyue, who has only one eye, has obviously summed up a set of fighting methods that are only suitable for him from his unique perspective. As a half-baked warrior, he has no right to question him.

"Drink!" Arthur raised his sword high to charge up, and then slashed down. This move has been confirmed to be effective in previous battles. Ordinary robbers and wild beasts are completely unable to resist his power. The consequences of parrying and blocking They were all hit by his sword in two strokes. Even if they dodged in time, they still couldn't avoid the follow-up slash.

However, this three-hit combo was terminated at the beginning.

"Clang!" The steel two-handed sword clearly hit the shield, but without encountering any resistance, it slid directly over the shield and hit the ground. There was a deep trace.

"The strength is good, but the skill is not enough. It is probably used to chop robbers." Si Keyue looked down and raised the shield again: "Come again."

Obviously, he has excellent judgment, and can change the angle of the shield before the blade and the shield contact to remove most of the power. The posture of the sword.

The next attack is what he summed up when facing those ghouls whose ordinary injuries can't stop them from moving at all. Thrust hard, no matter which side of the body is biased, immediately turn around and perform a roundabout attack, which can usually dry out the ghouls. The body is cut in half, but it is also very effective against heavily armored enemies.

"Ding!" "Boom!" The shield was stabbed in the front and did not slide away. Arthur was about to perform a whirlwind, but the hilt of the two-handed sword was hit by a huge force at this moment, and flew straight out.

"Hey! Can you do it?" Artis was still booing.

"Heh, don't you think I'm a ghoul whose limbs are as stiff as my head?" Cisco Moon shook his shield and said to Arthur who was going to retrieve his two-handed sword, "You said you were a hunter, so treat me as a How about the most ferocious beast ever encountered?"

Phew——Arthur took a deep breath, exchanged his hands on the handle, dragged the giant sword to the ground without lifting it, and stared straight at Cisco Moon.

At this time, in front of him was no longer the one-eyed Cisco Moon, but the huge snow tiger with a wounded right front paw. At first Arthur thought that it must be slow to respond to the attack from the right, but unexpectedly, because he knew he was slow, the snow tiger was too slow to respond to the right attack. Fang's vigilance was higher than that of the left, which caused him a big loss, just like now, although Si Keyue only has one right eye, the shield in his left hand is extremely flexible.

Unless the wounds were caused by themselves immediately, those defects would be their advantages instead. Knowing this, Arthur did not rush to attack the shield any longer, but aimed at Cisco Moon's whole body,

Yes, he just asked Arthur to "attack him" instead of "attack his shield", and this subconscious misunderstanding made the first few attacks all come back in vain.

What he wants to use now is a two-handed sword swing. This move is more effective for armored shield bearers, but the follow-up will still be Whirlwind Slash, which will sell the back and elbows to the opponent. Maybe he can forcefully swing the sword inertia to change direction? In that case, it must have been a big surprise for Cisco month who was about to go through the shield bashing step by step.

"Crack——" the giant sword was raised, and Si Keyue calmly waved the shield to draw away the power, and took advantage of the situation to put on a posture of preparing for a shield strike. At this time, Arthur's two-handed sword was exhausted. Under normal circumstances, he could only bring It is necessary to carry out a roundabout attack with inertia, and in that case, it is only possible to be sent flying again.

Reverse downward chop - Arthur, who had been prepared for a long time, exerted force to stop the whirling force, and turned to slash at Cisco Yue, whose posture had changed and was unstoppable.

"Ha, I didn't expect you to have such a skill, but still—" Cisco was not surprised but happy, and kept adjusting his mouth to prepare for this move.

At that moment, a ray of moonlight fell from the sky, covering the entire Moonvaska, and a golden phantom flickered on Arthur's sword.

【Ex~calibur! 】

Boom—Si Keyue was sent flying from a distance and hit the cliff. He didn't seem to be seriously injured, and was staring at a huge black burn mark on his armor in a daze. He couldn't say what that sentence was for the time being.

"Uh...Huh?" Arthur seemed to be panting with some exhaustion, and then watched in surprise that the steel two-handed sword in his hand gradually softened, melted, dripped, and finally turned into a puddle of molten iron on the ground.

Artis was so dumbfounded that he didn't even notice that the half-eaten bread fell from his hand.

"Huh? What?" Ella accompanied Kraco out of the hall, a little surprised by the scene: "Has the winner been decided? So soon?"

"Tch, I admit that this kid has the qualifications to join us." Si Keyue finally got up, wiped his armor and walked into the hall, and added when passing by Arthur: "But the moves are still a show. "

"Uh, Mr. White Mane, that was just now..." Arthur threw away the two-handed sword with only the hilt left, looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, and asked Kraco.

At this time, the moon beams that originally enveloped Yuevaska gradually converged and focused on the cliff that Cisco Yue had hit just now.

"Hey! New boy! Come up here!" A vigorous shout came from the top of the cliff.

"Go, that's our blacksmith Erindir Graymane. He doesn't like to talk, but he's a nice guy." Kraco Whitemane smiled at Arthur: "He should answer your questions."

"By the way, help me get the shield back~" Ella interjected.

What kind of shield do you need for an archer? While cursing, Arthur walked around the cliff and climbed up the path on its side.

On the platform above the cliff is a huge open-air blacksmith shop, but it is not necessarily open-air. A section of the protruding rock wall above the blacksmith shop is carved into the appearance of a giant eagle spreading its wings, and the circular shape between the wings of the giant eagle There was a bright moonlight shining from the sky in the gap, illuminating several weapons in the cooling pool of the blacksmith shop, no, it was not reflection, but some of them were shining, just like before When Se swung that sword, the light attached to the blade was the same.

"Boy, you are lucky. You not only have the talent to use them, but also just in time for the 'Moonlight Infusion' with an indeterminate date. You can take one from it now." An old man who was five or six times similar, except that his hair and beard were gray. After he finished speaking in one breath, he turned around and went straight to forging a one-handed sword and ignored him.

This kind of "non-talkative" is really rare, but it does explain what happened just now, Arthur tried to find a glowing two-handed sword among those weapons.

This is the well-known "Sky Furnace" in the entire sky. It is as old as the history of the Comrades. On nights with uncertain dates, there will be moonlight falling from the sky. At this time, the weapons forged will have the effect of "Moonlight Infusion". As for the specific Whether it is fire-type infusion or ice-type infusion, it depends on which of the two moons is endowed with moonlight.

But only people in the comrades-in-arms group know that although they do not need soul stones to replenish like enchanted weapons, the activation frequency is also different. After many experiments, it is found that even with the same weapon, the probability of different people using the activation effect It's not the same, but the effect of all weapons activated by the same person is exactly the same, which leads to another concept, "moonlight adaptation" physique.

A person who is weak in adaptation may not be able to achieve an effect even after dozens or hundreds of attacks. To him, an infused weapon is just an excellent steel weapon, while a person who adapts well may be able to fly a single strike with a dozen or so swords. Tongue of Flame or Blade of Ice - This kind of person is usually directly recruited into the comrades-in-arms group.

As for Arthur, he is not using an infused weapon, and it can be effective just by being illuminated by the moonlight... The comrades-in-arms group is absolutely impossible to let people go. If the activation frequency of the infused weapon is considerable, it is entirely possible to directly become a leader.

Arthur picked up a blue-decorated two-handed sword, swung it casually a few times, and bursts of golden light appeared on the sword again, which made the old man with the gray mane stop forging the iron.

With a clatter, the steel sword fell, and Arthur sat down on the ground and began to pant. Erindir was so frightened that he dropped his work and came to help him.

"Sorry, I'm fine." Arthur refused the old man's support, gasped twice and stood up by himself: "It seems that I have to control it so that it doesn't keep arousing, it's too exhausting—by the way, Ella said that she has a side The shield is being repaired here?"

"Taros is here." Erindir Graymane didn't seem to know what to say, muttering to himself, he took Ayla's shield and handed it to Arthur.

"Could it be that it's on the back to defend against cold arrows?" Arthur checked Ayla's shield, it was just an ordinary iron shield, so he waved goodbye to the old blacksmith: "I'll go back first, old man, you should also rest early~"
