Chapter 18 The Plan of Change (1)
Because Jafar and the Druid Rogers who were stationed in the Valley Town were both beasts, Link gave up his faster flight posture and accompanied them to the Valley Town with a white deer incarnation.
On the way, Link learned about the knowledge about the Ancestral Spirit from the two druids. This is a ritual that allows magical creatures to divide their own power into a small part of their power to humans. The history can be traced back to the Golden Era. Because humans at that time were the weakest among all species, according to the law of balance, the Son of Nature created the Son of Nature to help humans survive the darkest period. It can even be said that without the Son of Nature, there would be no human beings now.
Since the Battle of the Gods, the relationship between humans and the Alliance of Nature is far less friendly than that of the ancient times. The invention of the Silver Chronicle cursed the Spirit has completely cut off contact with the Alliance of Nature. Because the Valley Town is close to the Pillar of the Earth, magical creatures are mostly ground attributes. Whether outsiders or locals, they can get the blessing of the druids stationed in the Palace of Nature. Once they violate the Vow, the Spirit will become invalid. This is also the reason why more and more people turn to the Curse Spirit, forcibly deprive the power of magical creatures of their power to pass on to humans with spells, which is convenient without swearing, and no one cares about the side effects.
"Blessings... I want one too." Link was just talking casually, but Rogers took it seriously.
"As the son of nature, you have been favored by the gods. No one can compare to the gifts of the gods."
"It's not surprising that lord is a life weaver." Jafar, who was leading the way in the front, also joined the discussion, "Because God's favor is the highest blessing, you cannot have the spiritual being."
No, is it that the son of nature has no suoling? This tragic profession!
If it weren't for the deer-shaped shape, Link's expression would have changed from ⊙﹏⊙ to ⊙▽⊙.
Running on the ground is far less than flying at a fast speed, and it is completely dark when it arrives at the valley town. To avoid doubt, Link asked Rogers to draw people's attention with a druid, and he and Jafar follow in human form and mix in the crowd.
Gonzalez is worthy of seeing someone on the market. He did not show any surprise at all when Link brought back a magic creature. He volunteered to help when he learned that he was going to learn swordsmanship. So, Link was left in the tavern room to take care of Su Wu and Yuan Ye.
Fortunately, it was not time to go to bed yet, Link led by Gonzalez to the east residential area and knocked on a single-story house next to the city wall. The owner of the house was a sloppy middle-aged man. Perhaps because of poverty and the pressure of life, his appearance was older than his actual age, but his eyes were quite enchanting.
He looked up and down at the guests who were suddenly visiting. The man yawned and asked if he was here to learn swordsmanship.
Link was really surprised by the Enlightenment NPC's appearance. In his opinion, even if he was not as erotic as Iris, he should be dressed neatly and disciplined himself. This guy looks like a street gangster and a hooligan.
"Don't look at him like this, but the veterans who have experienced the Northern War. All the militias in the town were guided by him."
Oh~ This is something you need to look at. The undead is a terrible opponent. It is not only physical, but also indelible harm to the heart. As a soldier who fights the undead and returns alive, he should be a little more capable.
"Old rule, ten silver coins." The man asked for ten silver coins as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Link's newly developed favorable feeling suddenly drop to the bottom.
Just as he was about to pay out of his own pocket, Gonzalez took the lead and threw a cloth bag out.
"Thirty silver, teach him the basic swordsmanship."
"That depends on whether you have qualifications. If you say that, I will not refund you if you learn it." After weighing the money bag, the man turned around and took out two wooden swords and an oil lamp.
Gonzalez handed the wooden sword to Link and told him to carefully watch the swordsman's movements.
The middle-aged man held a sword in one hand, buckled his forehead lightly, and when he put it down, his eyes were no longer careless, and his whole aura changed. Unlike Eris, which is dazzling, and Hell's aggressiveness, it is not like Yatis, who is as sharp as a blade, ordinary but extraordinary. He is a soldier who has experienced the test of life and death. He gives people the feeling of moving forward bravely and resolutely.
Raise the sword and swing it out, so simple that there is no trick, it is just an ordinary sweep. Then there is a straight vertical chop, and the third move is a sting that rushes forward. It is really a basic sword technique, and it cannot be more basic.
After demonstrating these three moves, the swordsman who turned around turned into a decadent uncle, sat on the wooden pier and asked Link to do it as he did.
It looks easy, but it is difficult to do. Fortunately, with archery training, Link is slightly better than the first time he comes into contact with newbies.
After he repeated all three movements, the middle-aged man shook his head: "The movements are soft and weak, only physical but no spirit. Do you think it is cutting melons and vegetables. If you use some strength, you must be able to cut off muscles and bones with one sword. With your strength, you can't even pierce the leather armor."
As he said that, the man picked up a piece of wood as thick as a thigh from the ground and put it in front of Link, allowing him to split it like chopping wood.
Link gave up the wooden sword, pulled out the long sword that Gonzalez made for him, raised his hands above his head, and slashed hard. With a "click", the iron sword only slashed about an inch and was still stuck.
Once I returned to the time before liberation, I had the power given by God to fight, add, and brush BUFF. My physical agility has been improved after several days of high-intensity training. However, this power has not been practiced because neither of the two talents have been power-type.
Link glanced at Gonzalez, without laughing or saying anything. He glanced at the swordsman again, and walked over, pulled out the stuck sword, and waved Link to retreat.
Sweep, vertical chop, and sprint, and the same three moves. The wooden stake made two cuts on the first strike, and then cut into crosses on the second strike. As the third strike was rushing forward, the wooden stake that was still in the cut form was run away by Link's long sword and nailed into a city wall made of stones.
"When will you be able to practice to this level, and when will you pass the exam?" After saying that, he picked up the wooden sword placed on the ground and went straight back to the house.
Depend, I'm not a power type!
Link complained in his heart with expressionless face.
Gonzalez helped to remove the sword from the wall and patted Link on the shoulder comfortably, "There is no shortcut to physics, so you can only practice hard and master skills by proficiency."
"I'm cheating on my father..." Link couldn't help but complain.
"What did you say?" Although the language in the illusion was unified, foreigners could not understand the meaning of cheating, and Gonzalez was confused.
“trickdad.”
"?" Gonzalez didn't understand even more. Link was depressed and didn't want to explain more. He waved his sword hard with his sword.
The mechanical training continued until dawn. Jafar came with the contract, saying that the person sleeping in the tavern had woken up and wanted to see Link.
Su Wu? Or Yuan Ye?
Link had to stop practicing and return to the tavern. Before entering the guest room, Gonzalez warned Link not to easily say that he is the son of nature before he was sure he was trustworthy. Even if that person was his friend or relative.
The one who woke up was Yuan Ye. As soon as he saw Link, he rushed forward, hugged and thanked him.
Unable to being in contact with people like this, Link pushed him away without a trace. Because Jafar was present and it was inconvenient to speak, Link asked him to be alert outside the door.
"Why are you back?"
"This... Although I slept for more than ten days, it was nothing serious. Anyway, the doctor asked me to stay in bed and recuperate. Do you have to be dazed if I don't sleep?"
Isn't it serious? Didn't Lin Li say that his organs have shown signs of failure? Link decided to call his sister next time and if this kid is playful, he will beat him up.
Yuan Ye looked at Gonzalez with his eyes shining. He had been playing for several months and had seen such a high-level player for the first time, at least as an expert. It seemed that he had a hug on his thighs.
Gonzalez was very calm and sat down on the bed to show his attitude of not caring about me.
"Hey~ Brother, how long have you been playing this?" Yuan Ye was completely familiar with it, and he screamed very easily. You should know that although he and Link had met several times, they had never spoken.
"Two days."
"Two, two days?" Yuan Ye was shocked. The game was found at his girlfriend's house. He thought Link was an experienced veteran, otherwise he would not have known the son of nature who rarely communicated with humans.
"If Lin Li hadn't come to me to cry, I wouldn't have known the existence of this thing." Link told the stolen package with a blank expression that made Yuan Ye very embarrassed. Fortunately, Link gave him traffic face and did not say it in front of outsiders.
"Let's talk about the family matters back." Gonzalez interrupted, "How did you get caught by the Necromancer?"
This is exactly what Link wants to ask.
"I spent three months familiar with the game and finally got to graduate from a novice. I heard that an ancient tomb was found in the hills north of the town and ran to join in the fun to see if I could get a bargain."
Gonzalez touched his forehead. Doesn’t this kid know that there are undead in the tombs, mines, dungeons? Compared to orcs, night elves and even demons, the undead are the enemies of all living creatures. How did he reach the veteran level?
Link's face was not much better, because of his personality, he ended up saying nothing.
"By the way, I remembered a strange thing." Yuan Ye clapped his hands and told the reason why he had not died for so many days. "I entered the tomb with other adventurers and was caught by the necromancer hiding inside. He was going to kill me, but suddenly he said something about the 'Line of Fate' and then locked me in a cage and ignored me."
Fate weaving thread? Didn’t Hull say that there is a fate between Shuanghan and me? Why did he get involved with Yuan Ye again? Well... He is Lin Li’s boyfriend, and he does have such a connection with me. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been involved in this game.
Link was startled by his thoughts.
Hell, this game is getting more and more supernatural.
"What are your plans next?"
"Plan? Continue to upgrade." Gonzalez's question surprised Yuan Ye. Even the real-life game is mainly about upgrading.
"Still stay here?"
"No?"
