I am a mercenary, a mercenary with no past and no memory. From the moment Uncle Fred rescued me from a big pit half a year ago, my name has been - Nameless.
Uncle Fred is a veteran mercenary. When I woke up and found that I had lost all my memory, he left me as a mercenary in his mercenary group and taught me sword skills. and mercenary knowledge.
I am in a small mercenary group with only about fifty people in total, called the "Rose Corps". Although the name is a bit nondescript, it is extremely famous in the Holy Demon Continent. All this is due to our Chief and deputy leader.
The leader of the "Rose Corps", Ulan Nasha, is one of the top ten beauties in the Holy Demon Continent. She is known as the "Battlefield Rose". She has grown up on the battlefield since she was a child. She is first-class in both swordsmanship and military use. She once led her subordinates from The ability to rescue hostages from the Reinhard Kingdom's siege by tens of thousands of troops shows how powerful it is.
Deputy leader Ying is also one of the top ten beauties in the Holy Demon Continent. She is an extremely excellent summoning mage who can summon many high-level magic beasts. If not for one of the seven great magicians in the Holy Demon Continent who is proficient in summoning magic. Great Sage Linka, she will definitely become one of the seven magicians like the legendary "Snow Saint" Bing Qingying.
At least, that's what I think.
With two such captains, and the mercenaries they belong to are all elite masters, it is difficult for the "Rose Corps" not to become famous.
In the past six months, the Holy Demon Continent, which has been at peace for more than a hundred years, has fallen into war again.
It is said that half a year ago, there was a fierce battle between the heaven and the demon world. A big figure in the demon world called the "Demon God King" was killed, which made the battle more intense and even spread to the Holy Demon Continent.
Today, the countries and races on the Holy Demon Continent have been divided into two factions: the Kingdom of Babnika. The Principality of Rein and the Kingdom of Ice and Snow formed an alliance with the Demon Realm; the Kingdom of Reinhardt and the Orcs sided with the Heaven Realm, and even the elves, who had always been united and peaceful, were divided into two sides, the water elves. The wind elves and thunder elves stood on the side of the demon world, while the fire elves and earth elves stood on the side of the heaven.
The two sides are attacking each other's cities and territories and fighting endlessly. This situation is naturally perfect for us mercenaries. At least we don't have to worry about losing our jobs.
However, I have always had a question in my mind: Why do so many countries and even elves side with the evil demon world
But no one can answer this question. Anyway, for us mercenaries, the more chaotic they are, the better, so that we can use them.
I glanced at the black ring on my left index finger, then touched my chest, where I wore a dark necklace. These two worthless pieces of jewelry were the only things I had on me when Uncle Fred saw me. The two things may be related to my identity (wearing such worthless accessories, it seems that I must have been poor before, and it doesn't matter whether I can recover my memory or not).
"Wu Ming, come out, come out quickly..."
Uncle Fred's rough voice came from outside the tent, and I quickly stopped thinking and got out of the small tent.
I saw a stout Uncle Fred standing outside the tent holding a long, narrow, dark sword in his hand. When he saw me walking out, he muttered: "Wu Ming, the black steel sword you want has been made. I'm so sorry I don’t understand you. With your strong physique, a big sword is the most suitable, but you want this weird narrow-edged sword, made of blackened steel. This sword cost you half a year’s salary. ah."
I ignored Uncle Fred's nagging and happily took the narrow-edged black sword from his hand to play with.
I don’t know why, in the past six months of my mercenary career, I have used many kinds of weapons, but I have never been comfortable with them. The shadow of a dark, long and strange sword always appeared in my mind, so a few days ago I followed the instructions in my mind. I drew the figure vividly and gave it to Uncle Fred together with half a year's hard-earned income. I asked him to go to the blacksmith shop on my behalf to ask the craftsmen to use graphite steel (a dark-colored metal with three times the hardness of ordinary steel. It was very Expensive) Build me one.
After holding the black steel sword and playing with it for a while, I couldn't help but swing the sword and use the swordsmanship taught me by Uncle Fred. I felt that the air and sword were integrated into one, making it extremely smooth and smooth.
An unusual sound suddenly came from behind me. I was immersed in swordsmanship and instinctively stabbed out with my sword with my backhand. I heard a crisp and charming sound, and the black steel sword that was stabbing as fast as the wind was unexpectedly struck by two slender green blades. The jade fingers were pinched.
I was shocked. I turned around and saw a stunning beauty with a bit of wild rose-like proud and free temperament standing behind me. My black steel sword was being held tightly by the jade fingers of her right hand. Clamped.
She is the leader of the "Rose Corps" - "Battlefield Rose" Ulan Nasha, the person I have always had a crush on.
Ulan Nasha smiled slightly and said, "Wu Ming, your sword looks very strange. Can you show it to me?"
I quickly loosened my grip on the hilt of the sword. Ulan Nasha played with the black steel sword for a while and said, "What a unique looking sword. Where did it come from?"
Uncle Fred interrupted: "It was Wuming who drew the blueprint and asked me to find a craftsman to cast it. He also specifically told me that it must be made of graphite steel. As a result, this strange sword cost him half a year's salary."
Ulan Nasha glanced at me in surprise and said, "Wu Ming, I really can't tell that you can actually design weapons. Maybe you were a swordsmith before."
I scratched my head and said: "I don't know what happened, but the shadow of a narrow-edged ink sword kept appearing in my mind, as if this was the weapon I should use, so I drew Ask Uncle Fred to find a craftsman to cast it.”
Ulanasha wielded the black steel sword and performed several sword moves. Each move was so elegant, beautiful and murderous, which made Uncle Fred and I stunned.
Holding the sword and retreating, Ulan Nasha said: "What a sword, Wuming, your design is really good. By the way, such a unique sword should have a name. Have you given it a name?"
Without thinking, I blurted out: "'Yaye', I call it 'Yaye'."
As soon as the words came out, even I was stunned. I really didn't understand why I suddenly came up with such a name for Mo Gang Sword.
Ulan Nasha frowned and said, "'Yaye'? This is more like a person's name. Forget it, you designed this sword anyway, so you are free to call it whatever you want."
She threw the Yaye sword back to me, took out a bag of gold coins from her arms and handed it to Uncle Fred, saying, "I like the Yaye sword designed by Wuming very much. You can go find the craftsman to cast one for me according to the original design." "Hang, we still have to stay here for a few days, we should have enough time."
yeah? I was surprised, but Uncle Fred said "yes" and went to find the craftsman with the gold coins.
※※※
Ulan Nasha smiled and said to me: "Wu Ming, your swordsmanship was taught to you by Fred, right? His swordsmanship is simple and direct, and he can defeat the enemy with force. It is powerful on the battlefield, but it is not a superb swordsmanship. If the Yaye Sword you designed is not suitable, why not teach you a set of sword skills?"
I was immediately overjoyed. My body is extremely strong, and it is very easy to learn Uncle Fred's actual swordsmanship. In the past six months, I have also relied on it to survive on the battlefield, but I always feel that it has no room for development. , no matter how hard I practice, it is extremely difficult to make any further progress.
Ulanasha's swordsmanship is a truly superior swordsmanship, just like an art. When she is on the battlefield, her posture is elegant and beautiful, without any trace of murderous intent, but no one has ever been her three-in-one enemy. .
Now, she actually wants to teach me swordsmanship in person, so I am naturally overjoyed.
Ulanasha said: "Now that we have just completed the employer's task, we will rest here for seven or eight days. You go to the forest outside the camp every night. There is an open space inside, and I will wait for you there. "
After saying that, she smiled brightly at me, turned around and left.
Yeah, it's great, it's like a dream.
I was so excited that I kissed the cold spine of Yaye Sword a few times, knowing that it brought me good luck.
When there is no mission, the life of a mercenary is extremely free, and you can do whatever you want. There are not many people in the camp, so it seems a bit deserted.
After finally staying up until nightfall, I hurriedly had dinner and ran straight out of the camp towards the forest outside the camp. Uncle Fred was puzzled.
The dark forest was quiet, with the occasional sound of insects. I came to the clearing in the forest, but I didn't see the silhouette of Ulan Nasha (nonsense, the genius has just darkened, it would be strange for Ulan Nasha to come) .
After sitting quietly under a big tree for a while, I felt really bored, so I climbed up the tree and found a thick branch to lie down on, hugging Ya Ye Sword and closing my eyes comfortably.
Unknowingly, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw the bright moon had risen into the night sky. It seemed to be midnight.
I was in a hurry and struggled to get up. Unexpectedly, the branch broke with a "click" at this moment, and I suddenly fell down on my head and feet.
Just when I was about to endure the huge pain, a gentle force suddenly held me up, causing me to land smoothly.
I saw the fairy-like Ulanasha standing in front of me with a beautiful smile. She was wearing a red light armor and a purple outfit inside. She was so beautiful and contained wildness that I couldn't help but Look away.
The smile on Ulan Nasha's beautiful face faded, and she said in detail: "Wu Ming, what are you looking at?"
My body trembled, I laughed awkwardly, and said, "Captain, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I fell asleep in the tree for some reason."
Ulan Nasha said: "You don't need to apologize. I just came here, so I didn't disturb you when I saw you were sleeping soundly. Okay, it's time for you to study."
I knew in my heart that she was not telling the truth, because her red light armor was covered with night dew drops, and she had obviously been waiting here for a long time. I felt guilty and said sincerely: "Captain, thank you. , I will study hard and never let you down."
Ulanasha showed an expression of admiration and said: "Although you have not learned superior swordsmanship from Fred, your basic skills have been extremely solid. This is indispensable for learning superior swordsmanship. Practice swordsmanship first. Qi, Qi is the foundation of swordsmanship. Tonight I will teach you a basic set of Qi training methods to help you lay a solid foundation."
Of course I know that the cultivation of qi is the essence of martial arts, but the method of practicing qi is extremely precious, and ordinary mercenaries like me don't even have to think about it.
I was overjoyed and said: "Really? That's great. Thank you, leader."
Ulan Nasha smiled slightly, walked up to me and began to explain to me the locations of various meridians on the human body, and taught me the preliminary Qi training method.
From time to time, she stretched out her jade hands to click on various meridians on my body to demonstrate. Waves of intoxicating fragrance passed directly into my nose, and my heart suddenly beat wildly and I was very excited.
As if Ulan Nasha knew what I was thinking, she rolled her eyes at me and said, "Don't think nonsense, listen carefully to my explanation, and be careful not to get carried away."
I smiled awkwardly, calmed down my racing heart, and followed Ulan Nasha's guidance to condense the power in my body for the first time, gradually forming a weak gossamer-like true energy that flowed along my meridians.
Everything went well, exactly as Ulan Nasha said, but I vaguely felt that in addition to this new weak Qi, there seemed to be a very strange energy lurking in my body, and this energy made me unable to do anything. The depth is measured, but this weird energy is not restricted by my will at all, and is self-contained, as if it has nothing to do with me.
I wanted to tell Ulan Nasha about this weird feeling, but I was afraid that it would be annoying, so I hesitated and gave up the idea. Maybe I was too sensitive.
After a while, the new weak true energy in my body returned to my Dantian after circulating in the meridians throughout my body for a week. I opened my closed eyes and felt refreshed and in great spirits.
Ulan Nasha said in surprise: "Wu Ming, you really surprised me. I didn't expect to take the first step of Qi training so easily. It took me almost a day to complete the first Qi cycle."
She raised her head and looked at the position of the moon in the sky, and said: "It's already getting late. You should go back and rest first. Practice this Qi training method during the day tomorrow. Come back here in the evening and I will teach you a few sword skills. Mode."
I was very excited, and I had the courage to suddenly grab her slender, boneless hand and said, "Captain, thank you."
As soon as I said that, I immediately turned around and ran out. The warm and soft feeling still deeply stayed in my hands. Hehe, I decided not to wash my hands in the future.
Ulan Nasha didn't expect Wuming to have such a hand, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She didn't react until Wuming disappeared from her sight. She gently rubbed the painful jade hand, and a charming smile appeared on her lips. A gorgeous smile.
Since Wuming was rescued by Fred half a year ago, when she first saw this man who had lost all his memories, her heart that had never been attracted to any man in more than ten years actually started to tremble slightly. Surprised and surprised, she decided to leave him in the mercenary group.
Although there are only about fifty people in the "Rose Corps", everyone possesses special skills. They are either outstanding warriors or brilliant magicians. If Ulan Nasha didn't have a strange feeling for Wuming in her heart, how could she have accepted him like this? An incompetent person with no past and no ability.
In the past six months, she had secretly paid attention to Wuming's every move, and whenever there was a dangerous mission, she always tried to keep him away from danger, otherwise Wuming would have been dead long ago with his three-legged skills.
It wasn't until recently that she saw that Wuming's follower Fred had already mastered the basic skills of swordsmanship, so she decided to officially teach him Qi training methods and superior swordsmanship.
However, even she herself didn't understand why she cared so much about Wu Ming.
However, Wuming's speed in practicing Qi surprised her. Even she, who was known as a martial arts prodigy, spent most of a day to complete the first cycle when she first practiced Qi. However, Wuming only took a few quarters of an hour. It's just too fast.
After thinking quietly for a moment, but unable to think of any clues, Ulan Nasha's delicate body flashed and disappeared.
