Wizard of All Souls

dusk.

The crimson sun sank slowly into the mountains.

In the distance, there is little smoke from cooking, and the sound of dogs barking comes from afar.

Will walked out of the castle, crossed the moat, and came to Grandpa Barry's small stone house.

In the stone house, Grandpa Barry, with gray hair and wrinkled face, was packing all kinds of medicinal herb ores.

From a distance, you can smell the pungent herbal smell.

"Master Will, are you here again?" Grandpa Barry looked at Will and smiled.

Will's dream is to travel the world and explore the world.

In the process, injuries are inevitable, and being trapped in the deep mountains and jungles is also inevitable. At that time, if one does not have a little knowledge of herbal medicine, Will will be greeted only by despair.

So, since he was sensible, Will often went to play with Grandpa Barry.

Ask Grandpa Barry to teach you about various herbal plants.

During this process, Will got to know many strange animals and plants that he has never heard of and seen, which are not found on the earth.

"Are you training with Neeson again?" Grandpa Barry noticed the bruises on Will's body, "Neson always doesn't know how badly he hits, what if you hurt you? I told you before, and the kind of bruises that Neeson has It's no good training a big man who can only do brute force..."

Seeing that Grandpa Barry was going to be long-winded again, Will hurriedly said, "Grandpa Barry, I'll go in and get some medicine."

After speaking, Will got into the stone house and skillfully took out some herbs for treating bruises.

When Will was holding the herbs and preparing to boil the medicine, he suddenly heard a mournful howl from outside the stone house.

"What's going on?" Will felt bad and rushed out immediately.

Beside the stone house, two swordsmen in leather armor carried a man covered in blood, and hurriedly asked Grandpa Barry for help.

"Master Barry, master Barry, save Berg, he is about to die!" The two hurriedly begged Grandpa Barry.

"Captain Berg?"

Seeing the man's face, Will's eyes tightened.

Noticing Berg's miserable state, Grandpa Barry rushed over.

"Quickly, quickly bring it in!" Grandpa Barry's face changed suddenly, "Will, quickly take the knife and separate the breastplate... the hemostatic cloth... quickly..."

At this point, Grandpa Barry no longer cared about his status.

But no matter how hard Grandpa Barry and Will tried, it was too late.

There are two huge holes in Berg's chest, which cannot be cured with the level of medical skills in this world.

Even the largest hospital on Earth, the most sophisticated instruments, and the best surgeon in the previous life, I'm afraid it's not enough.

Captain Berg's body gradually became cold.

Will's heart sank gradually.

Captain Berg, the peak strength of a quasi-knight, Will has asked him many times for advice on swordsmanship.

These days it is Captain Berg's turn to patrol around the castle.

Unexpectedly, he died in front of Will.

Will couldn't hide the anger in his heart.

"Who is it! Who killed Captain Berg!" Will roared in a low voice, "I must make them pay the price!"

Someone dared to kill the patrol members of the Albert family in the territory?

This is treason!

This is challenging the face of the Albert family!

Under the intermittent explanations of the two patrol members, Will finally sorted out the context of the matter.

not long ago.

evening.

On the way back to the castle on patrol, Captain Berg found a wild horned bull when he passed a small forest.

Corned beef is delicious and expensive.

Captain Berg immediately decided to hunt the horned bull.

Captain Berg has the strength of the peak quasi-knight, and there are two well-equipped patrol members on the side to assist him. Killing a horned bull should have been foolproof.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, the horned bull rushed out of the encirclement and rushed towards the depths of the woods.

Once the horned bull rushes into the deep forest, all the hard work will be in vain.

Excited, Captain Berg actually stood in front of the horned bull.

It is very simple for a quasi-knight to kill a horned bull.

Like a matador killing a bull.

But you let the matador block the bull's charge head-on?

Captain Berg, blinded by a momentary desire, actually planned to block the horned bull with his physical body.

The ending is what it is now.

He was knocked into the air by a horned bull, and two holes were pierced in his chest by the horn, and he died.

After learning what happened, Will was speechless for a while.

"Human life is too fragile. No matter how hard you work, no matter how strong you are, a momentary carelessness is enough to kill people." Will reached out and covered Captain Berg's unwilling eyes, "Go at ease, I will Take good care of your wife and children."

Will picked up the medicine in a trance, and walked towards the castle staggeringly.

"What about quasi-knights? What about knights? A single bump from a weak horned bull is enough to kill a person. So what if you are careful? If you are fighting all the time, there will inevitably be times of negligence. Human life is too much. Fragile." For the first time, Will deeply felt the fragility of life.

It's not that Will hasn't seen dead people.

But those were injured and died while besieging wild beasts and fighting robbers.

This is the first time Will has encountered someone like Captain Berg who died accidentally when he had an overwhelming advantage.

Will is naked, sprawled on the bed.

The maid Tracy took the boiled plaster and rubbed it on the bruises on Will's body.

In a daze, Will fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Will came to the training ground again.

"You, you, you!" Will pointed at the three of them in succession, "You guys will practice with me."

Today, Will's eyes are extraordinarily bright.

Three people surrounded Will, one holding a wooden knife.

The three of them showed hesitant expressions on their faces, and kept passing their eyes to each other, not knowing what to do.

This was the first time Will took the initiative to find them as a sparring partner.

"Don't show mercy, attack as much as you want."

"this?"

The three training partners still hesitated, not daring to make a move.

"Every time you hit me, you get ten silver coins."

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.

"Then we're welcome!" Facing the temptation of gold coins, the three of them finally mustered up their courage.

...

"Come again! Didn't you eat?...Why didn't you stab the sword just now? Are you afraid I won't be able to stop it?...That's it, you're welcome..."

Now when the three sparring partners get tired, they change, and when they get tired, they change.

Will's swordsmanship is far superior to everyone here except Nikon.

Originally, Will thought that he was facing a combined attack from three people, and unless he relaxed, the opponent would not be able to hit him.

But Will obviously overestimated himself.

In other words, in previous competitions, the others did not try their best.

In one morning, Will was hit ninety-seven times!

After dividing the money that should be given.

"Continue in the afternoon."

Will's physique is indeed outstanding among the reserve knights, and his level of swordsmanship is also very high, but Will's actual combat experience is really too little.

In the heat of mobile combat, Will will often be confused by some shallow feints.

Theoretically, it is impossible for Will to fall into that kind of simple trap.

"In a fierce battle, no one can maintain absolute rationality, and the moves that are usually practiced hard are no longer practical, and they rely more on instinct and muscle response." Will summed up while resting.

"Actually, they were only hit ninety-seven times because they didn't let go of their hands and feet. The training in the afternoon should be even more tragic."

Every breath of Will's will affect the wound on his body.

But Will not only did not back down, but became even more excited.

"This is fighting!" Will clenched his hands. "This feeling of constantly fighting and becoming stronger is really fascinating. I don't know what it feels like to break through life and death in the legend?"

Time is up.

Will came to the training ground again.

On the training ground, more than a dozen teenagers were already waiting there, surrounded by a group of watching people.

In the past, in order to prevent people from interfering with his cultivation, Will usually drove away the onlookers, or went to a relatively remote place with few people.

But this time is different.

Will's mind changed.

"The real battlefield is ever-changing. When and what will happen is impossible to calculate with the poor and weak human brain. The only thing you can really trust is your own body that has been tempered and tempered, and your extraordinary instant response will be disturbed by crowds." , that can only prove that your mentality is not strong enough."

This afternoon, the training was even more intense.

People jumped up and down.

Later, not only the members of the juvenile group, but also members of the other guards joined in.

Among these people, there are those with swift and fierce swords.

A feint with a sword, and then a sneak attack with fast feet.

There is a charming eye for kicking dust.

Some throw swords.

...

Various weapons, various techniques, and various styles are constantly displayed in front of Will.

Will can clearly feel that his strength is growing crazily.

His physique has not improved, his swordsmanship is still level 3, and his vitality has not been stimulated, but Will's combat effectiveness has actually become stronger.

An afternoon later, Will was hit one hundred and thirty-one more.

If the attacker is not using a wooden sword.

Of the 131 hits Will received, seventeen were fatal and thirty-five were permanently disabled.

Inside the castle.

Baron Leo looked at the figure of Will who was constantly fighting on the training ground through the window, showing a gratified smile.

Neeson stood beside Baron Leo, also looking at Will with gentle eyes.

"Leo, the current Will makes me see you back then. You are just as persistent, as resolute, and as strong. Within twenty years, you will be a badge knight again." Neeson sighed.

There is also a huge gap in strength among knights.

Because the Cairo Empire will award knights who have made great achievements with badges, and gradually, especially powerful knights will be called badge knights.

"No, you're wrong." Baron Leo smiled under Neeson's astonished gaze, "Will will surpass me, and he will lead the Albert family to a higher position."

"It seems that you have great confidence in Will." Neeson laughed.

"Of course." Baron Leo puffed out his chest proudly, "He is my son."

...

five days later.

Crackling!

After knocking down the three besieging him, he looked at the sun in the far west.

"Seven hits, I was hit seven times this afternoon." Will was quite proud.

"Master Will, you are truly a genius." The people around him also praised Will without hesitation.

"Come here first today, you go to Tracy to get the money." Will ordered.

"Thank you, young master!"

"Master, what time is tomorrow?"

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Weier shook his head, "Practice training is enough."

"Is that so—"

After understanding what Will meant, the trainees all showed disappointment.

Five gold coins are enough for an average family of three to live well off for a year.

If you have a field at home and use it sparingly, you can spend less than one gold coin a year.

And Will took out a total of thirty-seven gold coins in the past three days. On average, each person got more than one gold coin, which is a small sum of money.

"Haha, thank you for your sparring for the past few days. Tonight, I will ask the chef to have an extra meal and eat horn beef!" Will Lang said.

As soon as Will's words fell, there were deafening cheers all around.
