Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger

Luo Xi immediately told Knight Carl that he wanted to learn swordsmanship. This was just a small matter to Knight Carl, so he readily agreed.

"This request is far from repaying your assistance, so I'd better keep the badge."

Then Carl Knight began to teach Luo Xi the swordsmanship.

A few days later.

"The hand holding the sword must be steady. Remember that for a knight, the sword is life and the sword is everything. With this belief, keep the sword in your hand and never let it go under any circumstances."

"When you strike, you have to be ruthless. Put all your strength into your hands, concentrate it on one point, and then attack that point with all your strength."

"The target must be accurate. You must not only see it with your eyes, but also feel it with your heart. Let your thoughts and ideas be focused on that point, so that you will not miss."

"Stability, ruthlessness, and accuracy are the three most basic elements of a swift sword, and they are also the core elements of this set of swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is only its form, and this is the real core."

The name of the swordsmanship taught to Luo Xi by Knight Carl is Swift Sword. It is the most common basic swordsmanship of knights on the mainland. It is fast and easy to learn, and is very suitable for beginners of swordsmanship.

"Huhuhu!" A strong sound of breaking wind sounded.

In the open space, Luo Xi followed the instructions of Knight Carl and waved a cross sword in his hand.

After swiping a set of swift swords in succession, Luo Xi stopped.

"Complete a Serious Swift Sword, resulting in a critical hit, and the time point is +8 days."

Knight Carl nodded repeatedly: "Very good, although there are still some details, but you have mastered the basic force techniques and swordsmanship skills. You really don't look like a beginner."

Luo Xi's talent in swordsmanship is pretty good. He mastered the Swift Sword to an entry-level level in just a few days. For an ordinary person, it would have taken at least ten days and a half. Even the Knight Carl took nearly a week.

Luo Xi said: "Maybe it's because I have been practicing Tai Lian Quan."

Knight Karl shook his head: "Physical training is just physical training. What really matters in swordsmanship is the feel and the soul compatibility with the cross sword."

This is a mysterious yet real feeling, just like when learning to drive, some people can't learn it at all, while some people feel blessed to be one with the car as soon as they sit in the cab.

After a pause, Karl said: "How about it? Don't you think about my proposal seriously anymore?"

"Although the life of a mercenary seems thrilling and exciting, there are actually too many fun things that ordinary people can't experience. You can meet different people, go to different places, and sleep with different women."

"The money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime may be just a mission for us."

"Life is only a few decades long. You have to guard one-third of an acre of land and find a big-footed woman to wallow in a shack until you die of old age. Such a boring life, don't you want to see the outside world?"

"The world is very big. Believe me, your perception will change after you go out and take a look."

Karl admired Luo Xi very much. After getting along with him for a few days, he found that this young man was not only talented in swordsmanship, but also very comfortable in dealing with others, and he couldn't help but cherish his talent.

In the past few days, he had persuaded Luo Xi more than once to stay and join the mercenary group as a mercenary.

Luo Xi shook his head: "I'm sorry, Knight Carl, but I really have no idea of ​​becoming a mercenary at the moment. My mother and brother are still waiting for me to return."

Karl sighed and said regretfully: "Okay."

Ordinary people are like this. They value staying in one place more than anything else. Staying in one place until they are old enough to get married and have children is the best life for them.

In their eyes, the world seems to be only as big as a small town, and the farthest place they have visited may be a nearby city.

They never know how vast and boundless the world is, that there is a bigger kingdom outside, with cities of more than 100,000 people, and how wonderful this world is.

"If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."

"OK."

At noon the next day, Luo Xi's destination, Black Stone, was reached. The team had to send him here if they wanted to go north. They could reach Black Stone Castle before sunset by continuing westward.

On the occasion of separation, Knight Carl gave Luo Xi a cross sword.

"The name of this sword is Glory. I asked someone to make it years ago. It hasn't been used much yet."

This is a two-handed cross sword, wider than the palm of your hand, and about one and a half meters long. It looks majestic and impressive when held in your hand.

Then he warned Luo Xi: "Although it's only half a day's journey, we still can't let down our guard."

"The earl is seriously ill. The nobles throughout the Western Region are busy fighting for power and profit. The unscrupulous people are taking the opportunity to come out and cause trouble."

The extermination of bandits was originally the responsibility of the nobles. If there were bandits in a certain place during normal times, the local nobles would definitely lead the knights to deal with them in time and not let them get bigger.

On the other hand, if the number of bandits suddenly increases in a certain place, it often reflects the political unrest in the area.

In the evening, Blackstone Town.

Blackstone Town is a border town near the Misty Forest at the southern end of the Western Territory of the Karel Kingdom. It is the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Lords of the Western Territory, and it is also the hometown of the Fernandi family where they first made their fortune.

Walking into Blackstone Town, Luo Xi looked around.

It is not much different from an ordinary small town. Gothic-style single-family buildings stand on both sides of the road. People wearing various costumes come and go on the road. In the distance are fields of wheat and piles of ripe wheat. The piles were sent to the mill.

Towers, creeks, stone bridges, straw, and stables are a typical Gothic town, except that the roads are smoother and cleaner than ordinary towns.

Luo Xi checked the historical data of the Karel Kingdom. Blackstone Town was the place where the Fernandi family made its fortune and was also their earliest fiefdom.

Although time has passed and through the efforts and marriages of the Fernandi family's ancestors, the former Blackstone country bumpkins have taken over Fengxi City and become an important Earl of the West, the Blackstone Territory is still the irreplaceable spiritual home of this family.

The Earls of Blackstone in the past generations would come back every year to offer sacrifices. After their death, no matter where they died, their bodies would be transported to the family cemetery here.

"Knight Lowa, that's the man."

"He came to town sneakily and has been looking around since he entered."

At this moment, more than a dozen soldiers wearing bright armor and carrying cross swords came over. The silver wolf head pattern on their chests showed their identities——

The family guard of the Fernandi family.

Led by a town citizen, these dozen guards came to Luo Xi and immediately surrounded him.

Every soldier placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and was very well-trained.

A middle-aged man walked up to Luo Xi. This was the captain of the guard, Knight Lowa, one of the top three powerful knights in the Fernandi family.

Under the iron helmet was a pair of stern eyes. He first looked at the cross sword slung on Luo Xi's waist, and then asked: "This is the territory of the Fernandi family. Explain your identity and purpose, stranger."

The townspeople living in Blackstone Town are all descendants of the Fernandi family or people who have made contributions to the Fernandi family. It is a semi-closed town. A strange face like Luo Xi was suppressed as soon as he came here. Civil notice was reported to the Chevalier de Lowa.

The count was seriously ill and the Fernandi family was in a tense moment, so the Chevalier Lowa immediately came with his people.

Luo Xi didn't speak, just put one hand in his pocket.

Although it was only a small movement, it was obvious that the surrounding soldiers suddenly became nervous.

If Knight Lowa hadn't raised a hand in time to signal, Luo Xibo had no doubt that these soldiers would immediately pull out the cross sword on their waist.

Luo Xi felt in his pocket and took out a copper plate.

This is a copper plate from a previous dynasty, which has been out of use for a long time. It is full of mottled traces of time.

However, the moment he saw the copper plate, Knight Lowa was shaken.

He took off his helmet and asked with a trembling voice: "Your Excellency?"

Luo Xi's expression was as usual: "Come from the misty forest."

A simple sentence, but it seemed to contain some kind of strange power. The burly Knight Lowa, who had been practicing martial arts for decades, suddenly shook.

He took a deep breath and knelt down at Luo Xi's feet, displaying a humility he had never shown towards the earl.

Just when everyone was doubtful, his next words easily dispelled everyone's doubts, and at the same time made everyone become as humble as him and kneel down.

But Luo Wa said: "Master Wizard!"

It will be recommended tomorrow. Friends who have passed by, please support me and read it. Thank you.
