If the witch circle shown by Emily is only the spiritual field of a pseudo-seventh-level psyker, then the moment the old woman entered the room, the spiritual energy or magic power invisibly emanating from her body was completely that of a seventh-level psyker.

The psychic pressure that a super psyker can produce. In front of this old woman, Leo felt like a helpless baby.

This does not mean that the old woman's psychic level is already equivalent to that of a seventh-level psychic. It is the special environment of the Sky Tower that has already made the old woman powerful. As long as the old woman is in the Sky Tower,

He can have the strength equivalent to a seventh-level psyker, but once he leaves this environment, it is unclear how much strength he will have left in the end.

"Why are you so hostile to Aunt Hannah? Aunt Hannah is a good person." After the old woman left, the sensitive Sylvia looked at Leo with some confusion, and then asked urgently.

: "What's the curse that Sister Hannah mentioned just now? Have you been cursed?"

When Emily heard this, she looked at Leo with great concern, her eyes full of worry.

Leo did not hide anything and told Sylvia about the cursed power attached to the Book of Night.

"Damn it, I knew that guy had bad intentions for taking out such precious things so readily!" After Sylvia heard this, she cursed repeatedly with an angry look on her face, and then complained to Leo: "Why just now?"

Aunt Hannah wants to help you lift the curse, but you refuse? Don’t you know how dangerous the power of the curse is?"

Emily also looked at Leo anxiously and worried for him: "Mr. Dodd, will the power of the curse hurt you? How about I go find Aunt Hannah and ask her to help you...

"

Leo was not used to this kind of caring atmosphere, so he quickly interrupted Emily's words, and at the same time motioned to Sylvia not to say anything, and then said very formally, "It's okay, you don't have to worry, the power of this curse

It won’t cause any harm to me. In fact, I don’t need Sister Hannah to take action. It’s not difficult for me to get rid of this cursed power myself. The reason why I keep this cursed power is that I still want to study this power.”

Sylvia looked at Leo in disbelief and shouted, "Why? Are you crazy? Go study this evil power!"

"There is no distinction between evil and justice in the power itself. Only the user can distinguish between good and evil." Leo corrected Sylvia's understanding, and before the other party could refute, he continued: "Curse is a very special power. I have never used it before.

I have never seen it. If I don’t understand this power clearly, how can I find a way to deal with it in time if I encounter this power in the future? Therefore, the more dangerous and terrifying things are, the more we need to understand them.

To master it so that you won’t be afraid of it anymore. What do you think?”

"Hmph!" Although Sylvia already agreed with Leo's statement in her heart, she did not admit it with her mouth and just snorted.

"Well! I think you are right, Mr. Dodd! The more you feel danger and the more fearful you are, the more you should face the difficulty." After hearing this, Emily felt a sense of empathy and looked at Leo's face.

There was a little admiration in his eyes, and he nodded vigorously in agreement.

Emily, who has gained past memories, has an instinctive fear of the murderer who killed her whole family. Even though her current personality has changed due to the new memories compiled by Sylvia, she is no longer the cowardly little woman, but

The fear born from physical instinct still had a strong influence on her.

Leo's words might be consistent with her current situation, which made her feel encouraged, even though Leo didn't mean that at all when he said these words.

After revealing the curse power, Emily took the information related to her husband, walked to the table and sat down. She took out the information in the document bag very formally, placed it on the table, and flipped through it carefully.

Looked up.

Neither Leo nor Sylvia bothered her. After helping Leo put on the remaining half-armor parts, they walked out of the room and went to the underground training ground for guard priests inside the Sky Tower.

At this time, many sky tower guard priests were conducting daily training in the training ground. Although cold weapons have slowly stepped off the battlefield, as traditional church guard priests, they still practice the church's unique cross.

Swordsmanship.

After Sylvia arrived at the training ground, almost all the guarding priests present knew her. While greeting her, they were a little afraid and did not look at her. After saying hello, they left immediately. Soon, just now

Leo and Sylvia were the only two people left in the bustling underground training ground.

After seeing this situation, Leo couldn't help but smile and asked: "What did you do to make them so afraid of you?"

"It's nothing, I just practice swordsmanship with them often to let them know what real swordsmanship is." Sylvia responded lightly. Although her tone seemed very calm, her face could not hide the expression.

A hint of pride.

As he spoke, he saw Sylvia walking to the weapon rack next to the training ground, taking down a swift sword and a cross dagger for training, then the swift sword in her hand, and two cross swords on the weapon rack.

With a deft move, the two cross swords separated from the weapon rack and flew towards Leo.

Looking at the two cross swords flying over, Leo stretched out his hands, cleverly avoided the blades of the cross swords, accurately grasped the hilt, then flicked his wrist and made a sword trick, two cross swords.

The sword in his hand became a standard low-hold state.

"Not bad!" After seeing Leo's movements of receiving and holding the sword, Sylvia's eyes couldn't help but shine, and she gave a heartfelt approval.

Although she had already seen Leo's swordsmanship when she was in the hunting wilderness, because she had to deal with other enemies at that time and had no way to distract herself, her impression of Leo's swordsmanship was just that he could use it, and now through this

With two simple and natural movements, she realized that Leo should have received extremely orthodox swordsmanship training and was also very strong in swordsmanship.

"I once fought against Jacques Huppert. Although the outcome was indistinguishable in the end, I have to admit that if I didn't use other means, it would be difficult for me to survive ten rounds with his swordsmanship."

Sylvia walked to the center of the training ground, holding a swift sword in one hand in a regular attack posture, and a cross dagger in the other hand as a parrying dagger. He returned to his side and said: "If you defeat me within ten rounds, you

You are qualified to challenge Jacques Huppert, otherwise, I need to prepare some back-ups, lest you fail to complete the transaction task and affect our plan to receive the First Army."

Seeing Sylvia clearly caring about her own safety but expressing it in such a tough way, Leo couldn't help but smile, waved the sword in his hand twice, and after getting used to the weight of the sword, left.

When he arrived at the training ground, he stood opposite Sylvia, made a standard cross sword gesture, and brought himself into the mental state of the legendary knight in the twin illusion.

Sylvia didn't tell the truth just now. She fought against Jacques Huppert ten years ago, and after that fight, she also became very attached to swordsmanship. Now her swordsmanship strength has far exceeded that of ten years ago.

Years ago. Now she is very confident that if she faces Jacques Huppert again, even if she does not use other means, she can remain evenly matched within thirty rounds, but beyond thirty rounds she will lose due to physical problems.

The reason why she told such a little lie was mainly because she wanted to teach Leo a lesson. After all, she had been suppressed by Leo since she met him, which made her always in a strong position in the past.

She was very unhappy because of her condition. Now that she had the opportunity to overpower Leo and make him look embarrassed, she would not let it go.

However, when Leo used the standard crossed sword posture in cross sword swordsmanship, Sylvia felt that Leo's aura suddenly changed, becoming like a volcano that was about to erupt at any time, no matter what method she used

If you attack, you will be faced with overwhelming hot lava that erupts instantly, and there is no chance of victory at all.

Sylvia, who couldn't find any attack direction, relied on her rich experience to move quickly around Leo, looking for opportunities to strike. But no matter how she moved, Leo's crossed swords were always aimed at her, giving no chance at all.

Any opportunity for her to take action.

After several rounds of confrontation like this, Sylvia's condition not only did not improve, but was completely suppressed. She even fell into the volcanic power formed by Leo, unable to attack or retreat.

"No more competition!" Knowing that she would be defeated instantly whether she took action or retreated, Sylvia did not persist any longer. She dropped the swift sword and cross dagger in her hands on the ground, and complained to Leo: "Don't you think so?

Don’t you know how to give in to me?”

"Do you need to give in?" Leo also put away his swords, broke away from the mental state of the legendary knight, and asked Sylvia.

"Of course not." Sylvia raised her head and said proudly.

"Actually, you didn't lose." Leo waved the long sword in his hand very casually and said truthfully to Sylvia: "Your swordsmanship is very good. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I will definitely not be able to win in thirty rounds."

I will take you down inside, and I may even lose to you. I just used other means to force you not to dare to take action."

"Other means?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment, carefully recalled the situation just now, and then said with a look of surprise: "Is it momentum?"

"Yes!" Leo nodded and said with mixed truth and falsehood: "I just borrowed the momentum of a certain legendary knight. Once I do it, the secret may be exposed."

Sylvia's expression became serious and she said: "It is impossible to defeat Jacques Huppert with your opportunistic methods."

Leo smiled lightly and said quite confidently: "No! I will not use this method when fighting Jacques Huppert, because I am 100% sure to beat him, and killing him is also very easy.

thing."

I don’t know whether it was affected by Leo’s confidence or because she couldn’t find a better way. Sylvia didn’t say anything more on this issue and instead asked: “What do you need me to prepare for you?

?"

"Just prepare a carriage for me." Leo made a simple request, then pointed to the weapon at Sylvia's feet and said, "Come on! Let's continue here. I won't cheat this time.

Just use swordsmanship."

As time passed, night fell on the sky again. A lot of people gathered outside the military camp of the First Legion stationed outside Miria City. Most of them were officers from the legion. They were chatting and talking.

Betting on the gambling game. But what makes the people who set up the gambling game very depressed is that almost everyone bets on their legion leader to win, and only two people bet on the challenger to win.

When the commander of the regiment ordered the soldiers to clean up the lawn outside the camp during the day, the regiment knew that someone was coming to challenge Jacques Huppert again. However, when they were chatting at dinner, they discovered that this challenger was not any of them.

He was invited to find work for the Legionnaires, but he was a real challenger.

As a result, all the officers and soldiers in the military camp couldn't help but feel curious, wondering who had the courage to come here to challenge even though they knew clearly that their legionnaires had superb swordsmanship.

Some bad guys also opened betting odds, starting from 1 to 10, then 1 to 100, and now they have completely stopped. Almost everyone is not optimistic about this challenger.

"Major General Roger, why did you think of winning by betting on the challenger?" Someone tried to ask one of the people who bet on the challenger the reason for his bet.

Major General Roger, who was the deputy commander of the army, smiled and said: "Anyway, it's just a golden flange. If you lose, you lose. If you win, I will make a lot of money."

Someone asked another punter: "Major General Wood, do you have the same idea?"

As the chief of staff of the First Army, Major General Wood was a serious man. Even in such a relaxed private occasion, there was no smile on his face. After hearing the question, he looked at the person asking the question until he saw the other person.

When sweat started to form on his forehead, he said in a cold tone: "I threw it casually, it was thrown in the wrong place."

Hearing Major General Wood's words, everyone around him couldn't help but want to laugh, but seeing Major General Wood's indifferent face, they couldn't laugh at all.

As Wood and Roger, who also hold the rank of major general under the age of forty, they are definitely one of the best even among the French Army's star-studded army.

However, the two people who were supposed to be shining brightly had offended some powerful nobles and their status as free citizens brought their promotion to an abrupt halt. They were transferred from the promising Ninth Legion to the jokingly-named

The First Corps for Nursing Homes.

Although the two of them were full of unwillingness and resentment about their situation, they did not dare to say anything more, because the person who took over the position of their ninth legion was the son of their current boss. If they said anything resentful, I am afraid that

Not only are their jobs unsafe, but their lives are also hard to protect.
