Magic Apprentice

Chapter 53: duel

Views:

When the first ray of dawn fell on the land of Stryer County, Duke Haguero was already sitting in the hall of the Governor's Mansion, enjoying his sumptuous breakfast.

In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, Duke Hegeero is famous for his habit of getting up early.

He's famous because this guy, if he really wants to, will force other people out of their favorite bed who like to spend as much time as possible with their beloved pillow in the morning.

Among the people who have been abused by Hegeello, in addition to the knights and servants under him, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries have also tasted this feeling, and even His Majesty the Emperor was once dragged by Duke Hegeello. He got out of his warm bed.

As for everyone, the one who understands this the most and also hates it the most is Hegeero's closest partner, Prime Minister Somylet.

Sommeret is a famous night owl. He even reviews official documents late at night. Morning is the time when he sleeps most soundly.

Haguero, who got up early in the morning, didn't intend to wake anyone else today. While enjoying breakfast, he was thinking about what to do at the Strayer County emergency meeting held in the afternoon.

He has to think clearly about every step of the meeting.

When will the Knights of the Wind be dispatched

When will Haxiu's knights be mobilized

When will the prisoners in prison be brought out

How to control the situation

What should we do if those goddess believers break into chaos

What should the nobles do if they quarrel with themselves

Hagrid planned every step clearly in his mind.

However, for some reason, Hagrid always felt that he had overlooked something.

There was always a hunch in his mind that he had missed several extremely important things.

And these things have the potential to change everything.

Haguero had to check all the steps of the meeting over and over again in his mind.

However, he never found the reason that made Hagrid extremely uneasy.

All this made the Duke more and more troubled, even to the point where he couldn't eat anything.

Hagero left the dining table, waved his hand gently, and the attendants who were waiting on him left the hall in a hurry.

Hagrid was the only one left in the empty hall, and he was seen pacing back and forth in the hall.

There was silence all around, only the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

Uneasiness and troubles gradually accumulated in Hegeiro's heart.

It even became an ominous premonition.

Hagero never takes his hunch lightly.

This premonition has saved him and his so-called invincible Knights of the Wind from the brink of danger countless times.

This premonition also brought him countless victories.

This premonition was passed down from generation to generation in his family. It was a unique instinct that was passed down from generation to generation along with the terrible curse.

This premonition comes from the heroic ancestor of the Hegeero family, the tragic hero.

Hagrid never underestimated his premonitions.

So he must find the source of that terrible premonition.

Along the corridor staircase on the side of the hall, Haguero walked up to the top floor of the Governor's Palace.

The sun has not yet shown its face, a few stars can still be seen vaguely in the sky, and the mountains in the distance draw a faint shadow under the gray-white sky.

The dense jungle at the foot of the hillside was completely dark under the dawn sun. A faint light showed through the gaps between the branches of the forest. It was the house of the forest watcher.

The entire Chengdaville is still sleeping. Except for the occasional light coming from one or two windows of the Governor's Palace, there is only the firelight of the everlasting altar in the Military God's Church in the distance.

Hagero walked towards the west side of the top floor, leaning on the railing, and looked into the distance.

That place looked unusually peaceful under the dim sunlight of dawn. The dense woods and the occasional building peeking out from the trees, as well as the faintly visible forest paths hidden under the dense branches and leaves, made everything... It seems so natural and harmonious.

Hagrid looked at that piece of land and secretly admired it, what a blessed land on earth.

In fact, he had already found out all the details about this.

He knew the founders of this hospital very well.

Especially the old tailor who had made clothes for their family for many years, who was someone Hagrid had known since he was a child.

I didn't expect that this extremely ordinary, extremely ordinary person could have such a superb talent.

And such a brilliant figure has been unknown to him for so long. In the end, the person who made him shine with such dazzling light turned out to be a foreigner who had just arrived in the Kingdom of Kaoqi.

This can't help but make Hagrid feel deeply frustrated.

Now, when he saw with his own eyes the miraculous building created by the little person he had never paid attention to, this frustration became even more intense.

Hagrid suddenly thought that he was too unaware of everything around him.

I have always taken it for granted that everything is what I know, nothing can be hidden from my eyes, and I know everything like the back of my hand.

However, facing that peaceful and quiet place, Haguero would no longer have the feeling of seeing through everything.

Apart from mistaking the old man, was there anything else that I didn't notice at all, or did I notice but was ignored

All kinds of questions came to Haguero along with waves of ominous premonitions.

Hagero looked around, his eyes scanning all the places that aroused his suspicion. Every flickering shadow and every ray of light shining on the ground could attract his attention for a long time.

Dawn was only brief in Strayer County, and the sun quickly rose above the horizon.

The orange-red sunshine shines on every place in Chengdaville City.

As the sun rises, everything becomes lively. People are gradually walking around on the streets in the early morning. The shops that opened early are waiting for the arrival of their first customers.

There was a market in the distance, which was the first to become lively. Haguero guessed that it was probably a vegetable market selling vegetables, fish and meat.

The hospital located in a whole jungle also became lively at this time. Looking at everything in front of him, Hagrid had to admit that the description of this hospital in the report to him was very good. exact.

This really looks like a place where elves live in legend.

And those busy believers of the goddess of life are indeed a bit like the elves guarding the forest.

Hagriro gradually turned his gaze to the distance.

On a slope in the distance, there are dozens of low bungalows built there. These thin one-story houses form a circle, and around these houses stand countless long poles reaching into the sky.

Hagrid watched all of this. He knew that these exquisite designs were absolutely unique, but they were also beyond his ability to understand. They belonged to the category of magic, and he knew nothing about them.

Looking at the building that was about to be completely under his control, Hageello's chaotic thoughts calmed down a little.

On the day he arrived in Dardaville City, Hegeero had already ordered the Wind Knights to surround the entire Magic Corps station.

Without his orders, no one can enter the regiment's premises.

The Knights of the Wind have always tried their best to fulfill his orders, and Hagriro is quite satisfied with this.

According to the deputy's report, during the past three days, only two groups of people had entered and exited the Magic Corps station. The first batch was to deliver supplies to the regiment. His knights asked the delivery people to place the items under the hillside and then sent those people back.

As for the second group of people, Hasho's knights escorted his daughter, the acting head of the Magic Corps, to the Magic Corps' station.

That was approved by myself, so there should be no problem.

Looking at the Magic Corps station in the distance, Hagrid thought about what was going on inside.

Is it a magic training or a group meditation training

Or are you experimenting with new and powerful magic

Or are you just sitting there doing nothing

Hagrid frowned and thought to himself, it would have been better if the guard had not been so tight.

In this way, the informant he placed in the Magic Corps can tell him everything that happened inside in detail.

Fortunately, the tight security not only prevents the magic mercenaries from moving freely, but also prevents their own informants from passing on news to them.

This is indeed a troublesome thing.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Hagrid's mind - it was not only the Magic Corps that was tightly restrained, but also the spies he had installed in the Magic Corps.

In fact, the Wind Knights under his command, who were used to besiege the Magic Corps, were also isolated.

No one can get close to the Magic Corps, which also means that no one can get close to the Wind Knights.

The Knights of the Wind were isolated from themselves by an invisible vacuum wall. Once something happened, it would be very difficult to even get in touch with them.

This uneasy premonition instantly made Hagrid's mind clear, and a possibility that he had never thought of jumped out of his mind.

What if the Magic Corps launches an attack on our own Knights of the Wind

In fact, Hagrid never thought that the Magic Corps would dare to resist him.

That was tantamount to declaring betrayal to the entire Kaoqi Kingdom. Hageello originally thought that no one had such courage.

Therefore, using the Knights of the Wind to surround the magic corps was just a show on the surface, intended to prove that they had full control over the situation.

In fact, from a purely military perspective, doing so is no different than letting the Knights of the Wind die.

Hagrid will never forget that it was this magic regiment that once wiped out the rampant Blood Fox bandits on the vast grasslands in the southeast of Stryer County.

It was this glorious battle that made the Magic Corps famous all over the world overnight, shaking the entire Kaoqi Kingdom and even the entire world.

The Blood Fox Thieves Group is exactly the same light armored cavalry group as the Gale Knights.

Will the same disaster happen to me

Hagriro's heart agitated.

His mind was racing.

And that ominous premonition is getting stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, everything suddenly became clear. Things that he had never thought of at all, and even thought were completely impossible, were listed in front of him.

Of all these impossibilities, the most improbable, the scariest, the most worrisome, and now it seems that the only thing that can explain them all is one thing.

Milinda, this woman with the same strength as herself, is not on the side of herself and her brother Somyret as she originally thought.

On the contrary, this woman is completely hostile to her own side.

But he never took this matter into consideration.

Hagrid deeply regretted at this time that he had completely forgotten his most terrifying opponent.

In fact, it was this woman with an eccentric personality who really made her try unsuccessfully in the entire Kaoqi Kingdom.

Not only that, this guy is a constant winner in love.

Seven or eight times out of ten, this guy will beat me.

What Hagrid couldn't let go of the most was the contest he had with her back then, the contest that resulted in his disastrous defeat.

That was the failure that Hagrid was brooding over.

Although just talking about strength, he and Milinda are only half matched, and neither one may be able to defeat the other.

But the knights under him are far from comparable to those under Milinda.

These differences in strength are not only reflected in the strength of force, but also include the use of tactics.

This woman's men are much stronger than the knights she trained who only have muscles but no brains.

The only person with whom I can discuss things with each other and help me make suggestions is the evil mage Trode.

But it happened that at this time, he sent Trode to explore Enleco's whereabouts.

When he needed help the most, there was no one around him, which made Hagrid feel extremely regretful.

In fact, by this time Hagriro had discovered that most of the people around him had betrayed his camp.

This includes Hasuu, his subordinate for many years, as well as so many officials and upper-class nobles from all over Stryer County.

All of these people had betrayed their own faction, and they all sided with Milinda.

Hagero could even see His Majesty the Emperor standing behind Milinda, secretly presiding over everything.

This powerful military genius who had never failed on a frontal battlefield now finally knew what a difficult dilemma he was facing.

Now I finally know who the real enemy is.

Unfortunately, it all came too late.

As long as he is given one more day to work, he can turn the situation around.

If only he had figured it out one day earlier, he would have taken the initiative.

But it happened that he lost this precious day.

Hagrid finally understood why his family had the talent to sense danger for generations, but why each generation ended their lives in tragedy and as losers.

This talent itself is also a curse. It tells you that danger exists, but it does not tell you where the danger comes from.

Hagrid walked quickly towards the stairs. As he walked, he secretly thought, maybe it's not too late, maybe it's still too late.

Of course, the premise of all this is to return to the Knights of the Wind as soon as possible.

As soon as he returned to his own knights, he could order the knights to garrison the Governor's Palace.

After all, when it comes to combat effectiveness, the knights under Haxiu are no match for the Gale Knights.

As for Milinda and the knights under her, although they are highly skilled, their numbers are limited, and the Knights of the Wind she brought with her numbered more than 3,000, far exceeding them in number.

As long as they retreat into Davill City, as long as the magic corps cannot play a role, if we just talk about strength, our side will still have a big say.

But everything has a premise, that he can return to the Knights of the Wind.

However, as he walked down the stairs, Hegeello knew that it would not be easy.

In the originally extremely empty hall downstairs, there were now five or six people standing. They were all knights under Milinda. Each one was close to a window, and it was Milinda who stood at the door.

Milinda was dressed very neatly today, wearing a snow-white long-sleeved shirt and a pair of pitch-black fencing pants. The collar and the edges of the sleeves of the shirt were sewn with billowing lace, and a black belt was tied around her waist. One on the left and one on the right are equipped with a narrow-edged sword over three feet long.

Hagriro is very familiar with these two swords. Back then, Milinda won the title of Holy Knight with these two unique long swords and the weird and fantastic Secret Sword of Seven Kills.

The sword's name was Xing Shuo. Like the Moon Wave he used and the Night Soul used by Gorsilo, it was made by the great magician Kalit who lived in the Kingdom of Riding.

Kalit is proficient in alchemy and is also good at making magic weapons. He was originally the only magician known in the world who could make artifacts. Because of this, Kalit was respected as the Great Mage.

Hagrid knew very well how powerful Xing Shuo was.

Xing Shuo, who possesses the electric attribute, is the most lethal of the three swords and is extremely good at attacking. Combined with Milinda's unpredictable Seven-Kill Secret Sword, it is definitely the strongest offensive sword technique.

Of course, if he has his Moon Wave Sword by his side, Hagriro will not care about Milinda and her knights.

The water-attribute Moon Wave Sword has the highest defense among all swords.

And the Yuehua Sword Technique that he is good at is also the most defensive technique among all sword techniques.

The Moon Wave Sword and Yue Hua Sword Technique cooperate with each other, and it is not difficult to break out of the encirclement of these people.

But without the Moonlight Sword, Hagrid had no intention of fighting against the most powerful sword.

"Have you figured it out?" Milinda asked when seeing that Hagrid didn't make any move.

"I have figured it out." Haguero replied. He knew that there was no need to hide it from the charming woman in front of him: "How do you know that I have figured everything out?" Haguero asked. In fact, he did Very interested in the answer to this question.

"I know you very well, and I also know your family very well. Your family has incredible abilities. You have very accurate premonitions. You have shown this magical talent many times in front of us." Miss Milinda said.

"Moreover, I can see the view on the top floor platform through my bedroom window. I noticed your interesting behavior on the platform. Do you know that when you are thinking, you have many interesting characteristics, so when I When I saw that you seemed to be about to figure it out, I had to rush over here in a hurry. Look, I'm not fully dressed yet?"

Hearing what Miss Milinda said, Hagrid glanced around.

Hagrid didn't pay much attention to the other knights. After all, the level difference was so big that no amount of knights of that level could stop his actions.

The only person in front of me who needs attention is the little woman.

There is absolutely no chance of winning against this hateful guy with bare hands, but even if he grabs a weapon, it will be of no use in front of the Xingshuo Sword.

But Hagrid was not so naive as to think that rushing back to his bedroom to get the Moon Wave Sword would solve all problems.

He knew that Milinda would never leave him such a chance.

It would be strange if she didn't steal her sword and hide it beforehand.

Thinking of this, Hegeelo decided to use his best surprise attack.

He suddenly raised his hands, and two extremely sharp sword winds were launched at the snap of his fingers.

This is an advanced martial skill that only a paladin of his level can use.

Although the sword wind of this level is not as powerful as the wind blade magic cast by the magician, it has the advantage of not requiring incantation, so it is powerful and fast to cast.

However, this time, Hageello's target was not any of the knights in front of him. He shot the sword wind directly to the top of the hall.

With a loud bang, the plaster top wall of the roof suddenly shattered, and fragments and gypsum powder were scattered in all directions.

Riding on the flying debris, Hageelo dodges rapidly. His target this time is the knight standing at the window farthest from Milinda.

Hagriro was quite familiar with that knight. Everyone called that knight "Brother Young Master". Among the knights under Milinda, this guy was one of the most skilled.

In fact, the young master has already been prepared. No one knows Hagrid's strength better than them.

To be honest, no one is willing to compete head-on with Hageello. Hageello's frontal assault is very difficult to resist.

Therefore, the young master has already put all his energy on Haguero.

The young master didn't dare to let go of the Duke's every move.

So when Hagrid rushed towards him, the young master didn't panic at all.

He raised the long sword in his left hand and waved a sword flower casually, while at the same time protecting the short sword held in his right hand against his chest.

This combination of long and short defensive moves is his specialty.

However, he also knew that there was a gap in strength between himself and Hagero, and he had no intention of using this move to fend off the Duke.

He just needs to be able to protect himself.

However, Hagero's strength was obviously far beyond his expectations.

In front of his eyes, Hagero, who was rushing over, turned into a string of shadows.

When he saw the Duke's figure clearly, the sword in his left hand had been pulled away.

A perfect defensive move was easily torn open.

Young Master didn't even have time to be surprised, he finally reacted quickly.

Seeing that the sword moves with his left hand had no effect, he had no choice but to use the dagger in his right hand to slash diagonally between Hagriro's chest and abdomen.

However, this subsequent move also had no effect.

He saw Hagrid curl up his middle finger and flick it with lightning speed, and it hit the young master's dagger.

The dagger broke into two pieces with a crisp sound.

At this point, the young master had no choice but to dodge. He had no move left. The gap in strength was too great. Although he was also a knight who could skillfully use "qi", although he was second only to the paladin among knights. He is a knight in a high position, but compared with the real paladin, he is still far behind.

Brother Gongzi didn't have any psychological burden about retreating. He had done his best.

Any knight under Milinda will not take the dignity of those boring so-called knights to heart.

If you lose, you lose. There is no need to be shameless and hold on.

Seeing the young master finding a way out, Hagrid was extremely happy.

It seems that his choice was accurate.

Hagrid was quite familiar with Milinda's subordinates, and he knew that the young master's strength was among the best among them.

However, this person's martial arts are skill-based, and his brain is also relatively sophisticated among these people.

Hagriro has seen a lot about this kind of people.

He knew that when this type of knight faced a paladin like himself, most of them would choose defensive moves.

When it comes to sword defense, no one is more qualified to be called a master than Hegeello.

Therefore, the young master's all-out tight defense was nothing more than a thin layer of paper that could be easily penetrated in Hagrid's eyes.

For Hegeero, the more skillful the knights, the easier it is to deal with them, because these people have certain rules to follow, unlike those knights with low martial arts skills who may use some inexplicable tricks at random.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Hagrid jumped towards the window.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed, and a slender arm cut straight towards his right rib.

Haguero knew that his most troublesome trouble was coming - Milinda took action personally.

Facing an opponent of comparable strength, Hagrid was not as relaxed this time.

Milinda is not a figure that can be compared to the young master just now.

Hegeelo had to brace himself and use his best tactics to deal with Milinda's storm-like attack.

The two people go back and forth, facing each other tit for tat, evenly matched.

This battle opened the eyes of the knights standing around.

In fact, even though they all know that Haggero and their eldest sister Milinda are both masters with the title of Paladin.

Although they have already experienced Milinda's powerful sword skills countless times.

Although they know that there is a huge gap between themselves and the Paladins.

However, they never imagined that the gap was so huge.

Even the young master who missed before finishing his move didn't expect that the Holy Knight was so powerful.

In front of them, the two masters who were fighting fiercely turned into two faint phantoms. They could only vaguely tell which phantom belonged to the elder sister and which one belonged to Hagrid.

The less skilled knights among these knights don't even know when and how two people will fight.

"Brother, who do you think has the upper hand?" asked a knight.

"What qualifications do I have to comment on their skills? I can't even take a single move from the young master." Young Master said sarcastically.

"There's no need to be so downcast. Only the eldest sister can deal with the eldest son. What's the idea behind the eldest sister recruiting us people? Does she really intend to let us deal with the eldest son? Then why did she take the eldest son's life away? The sword is hidden? Why did she bring her Xing Shuo here? The eldest sister has already taken control of the situation. The reason why she let us people stand by is not so that we can be witnesses and witness her defeat. "Young Master. You have been with me for such a long time. Can't you see what my sister is thinking?" said the monkey.

Hearing what the monkey said, the other knights showed expressions as if they were waking up from a dream.

"According to what you said, the eldest sister is sure of winning?" Young Master asked.

"Of course, a shrewd person like Sister Tou will never fight an uncertain battle. Don't you know her temper? Although her martial arts are powerful, ruthless and aggressive, her strategies and fighting style are the same. Her martial arts skills are completely opposite. In this regard, she is exactly the same as the young master. The young master likes to use surprise attack strategies and is good at frontal attacks, but his martial arts skills are first-class defensive moves." Monkey said.

"In terms of strength alone, it's hard to tell the difference between the eldest sister and the eldest young master. But don't forget, the eldest sister has nothing to worry about now, but the eldest young master is different. He is like an ant on a hot pot now, with many things urgent. Just from this point of view, the eldest young master is at a disadvantage. Besides, the eldest sister still carries her pair of swords, which makes her invincible. However, I guess the eldest sister will not Using those two swords, she must intend to defeat the young master in an upright manner."

"Justice and fairness? How can I call it fairness with such an arrangement?" said a knight.

Hearing this, the Young Master said disapprovingly: "To do this, for our eldest sister, it is already quite upright. Don't forget, what the eldest sister likes to do most is to set up traps and set up traps. Now, for our eldest sister, For the eldest sister, she is already extremely upright and upright."

Hearing what the young master said, the knights nodded repeatedly. This was quite in line with the image of a big sister in their eyes.

"But, I think, even so, it's not that easy for the eldest sister to defeat the eldest young master."

"Don't worry, even if you don't use Xingshuo, the eldest sister still has other tricks, which the young master has never seen before. The power is much stronger than Xingshuo. If you don't believe it, just ask the monkey, he has tasted it It tastes bad." Young Master said with a smile.

"Will that thing be useful?" the knight turned to the monkey and asked.

"...It's hard to say. The eldest sister has never shown the full power of that thing. No one knows how strong it is. However, I think the young master has never seen it either. The only one who knows the details is the eldest sister. In any case, it is always more beneficial to the eldest sister, isn't it? Maybe this little difference can make the eldest sister the final winner, isn't it?" the monkey replied.

"Anyway, let's wait and see the good show." Young Master said.

"Watching a good show? As it is now, I can't see anything." Another knight said.

"Who told you that you don't work hard at all times, so who can blame your poor eyesight?" Dabu'er said: "Now, the eldest sister and the eldest young man are fighting with their palms instead of swords. It seems that the eldest young man has a slight advantage. , Big sister can’t get in with a head attack.”

"Yes, if the young master's defense is really weak, I would have fallen down long ago." Monkey said with emotion.

"I don't think so. The eldest sister's sword moves are very sharp and unpredictable. Her moves are always tricky, especially her Seven Kills, which can launch fatal attacks from any unbelievable direction. , but you see, until now, the eldest sister has not used a move like that." Young Master said.

"That's true. The eldest sister has her famous Seven Kills Secret Sword on her head and is not using it. What's her plan? Frontal attack is the eldest son's specialty." Monkey also felt a little incredible.

"The two of you are taking the same path in martial arts as my eldest sister. Of course you have no way of knowing. In the past two years, my eldest sister's swordsmanship has been gradually changing into a smooth and harmonious way. You must know that the slant of swordsmanship will not matter no matter how advanced you practice it." , it's just a side attack. Although it is easy to achieve quickly and has great power, after reaching a certain level, it is difficult to make any further progress. On the contrary, it is not as good as the pure swordsmanship sect like the young master. As long as you practice more, you can gain more. , Only with a solid foundation can we build tall buildings." Big Block said: "It's just like the difference between vines and big trees. Vines can wrap around other trees or on the edge of mountains, and they can grow very fast, but they don't On taller trees or rocks, it is difficult for vines to grow upward. But big trees are completely different. Although big trees grow extremely slowly, as long as they work hard to grow upward, one day, the big tree will be taller than most of the surrounding trees. trees and rocks, not to mention the vines that have to rely on the trees."

"Because of this, the eldest sister, who found that she had no further potential in the swordsmanship in front of her, has been looking for ways to get to the next level. The changes you see in the style of swordsmanship are the eldest sister's head. Proof of hard work, I think the use of that thing should also be a direction for the elder sister's efforts. But I don't know how helpful that thing is for the elder sister."

"Wow, my God, she's already so strong, and she's going to get even stronger. How can we survive? We'll be even more embarrassed to see people in the future." Monkey said jokingly.

"Hey, yes, it seems that I have neglected my sword practice recently. Anyway, I am also a knight. It seems that I have to work harder." Big guy said with a long sigh.

"Do you feel you lack an opponent when practicing martial arts? I can help you." Young Master shrugged his shoulders and said.

Hearing what Young Master, Monkey and Big Man said, the other knights shook their heads. They could only focus on the two fiercely fighting men in front of them, whose figures were hard to distinguish. On people.

In fact, at this time, Hagriro was secretly complaining.

Indeed, he had a slight upper hand, but he knew in his heart that this slight advantage would never make up for the gap that the Xing Shuo Sword would bring between him and Milinda.

Moreover, this small gap is not enough to defeat Milinda.

Milinda was far more difficult to deal with than he expected, and this advantage did not make him happy at all.

With Hagero's strength, wouldn't he notice something that the knights under Milinda could see

As a paladin, Hegeiro knows better than anyone else the transformation of Milinda in sword skills and the significance of this transformation.

In fact, he faced the same trouble - his martial arts skills could no longer improve as quickly as before.

Hard work can only improve it a little bit, but Hagrid is already quite satisfied with this.

After all, it is quite difficult for a swordsmanship as advanced as his to be able to improve.

In Haggero's view, he can now be regarded as the strongest among all the Paladins.

And all of this must be attributed to his strict enlightenment teacher, who insisted that he must take the difficult and slow-moving, but the most upright path of swordsmanship practice.

How many people have retreated in the face of this difficult and difficult to see results in swordsmanship practice.

How many people can persevere on this bumpy road of spiritual practice

However, it is this bumpy road of swordsmanship practice that paved a broad road for him to reach the direction of swordsmanship.

And all this comes from a person who doesn't know much about swordsmanship.

The man who told himself the truth of swordsmanship was not very good at using swords. Although he could be called one of the strongest magicians in the world, he was definitely an amateur at using swords for robbery.

Likewise, no one could imagine that a terrifying evil mage like him, who was feared and despised by everyone, could have such a profound understanding of the "right way".

Precisely because he followed the right path, his martial arts skills were superior to those of other paladins.

But I didn't expect it.

Today, in front of him, Milinda showed the same kind of "righteous" swordsmanship.

what does that mean

Haguero suddenly felt as if he had never really understood Milinda.

Although, I have known them as brother and sister since childhood.

For a while, he, His Majesty the Emperor, and the brother and sister even talked about getting along day and night, and they knew many secrets about each other that were unknown to others.

However, Haguero discovered that he didn't really know the woman in front of him.

At first, Milinda apprenticed under an anonymous name and developed superb swordsmanship. In the eyes of the three of them, all this was just a sign of this girl's strong willfulness.

Although in the end Milinda also won the highest knight title of Paladin.

However, Haguero still attributes all this to Milinda's talent.

However, it seems that this is not the case at all now.

Milinda has changed the path she took in kendo practice, which can only show one thing - Milinda is also pursuing the advancement of kendo.

That can't just be explained by being willful and strong.

Milinda truly became an opponent that she had to look at again.

With this understanding, Hagriro will no longer feel happy at all because of a small advantage.

What's more, Hegeiro is also worried that Milinda, who has switched from the side to the right path, may have a deeper understanding of the right path swordsmanship than he does.

Because of this, Hegeero was very careful and dismantled every move Milinda made.

Milinda's palms were flying, like two sharp daggers, attacking the vital parts of Hegeelo's body.

Hagrid's defense was extremely tight, and his body was covered with a thick layer of infuriating energy, like a thick armor, protecting every part of his body.

The sword skills that Hegeero learned were those passed down from the sword master "Xinluoan", the founding emperor of the Kaoqi Kingdom and one of the Twelve Heroes.

Most of the Twelve Heroes of that time left behind descendants, and their skills were thus passed down.

However, Ticoloni's magic bow skills were lost because the magic bow ignored his descendants.

Because of this, the Sword Master Xin Luoan passed on his skills to the child of his unfortunate companion.

Because of this, every generation of ancestors in Duke Haguero's family has an inseparable connection with the Kaoqi Royal Family.

Xin Luoan's swordsmanship can be regarded as the most upright swordsmanship.

When Xin Luoan and his companions fought against the Magic Empire, his responsibility was to protect the safety of his companions.

Therefore, Xin Luoan's sword skills have the most powerful defensive power.

In the face of Hegeello's tight defense, Milinda's fierce attack had no effect.

But Hagrid was still wondering, did Milinda need to attack him so persistently

Having practiced swordsmanship to their level, they should only need to exchange a few moves to know the opponent's strength.

Milinda should be quite aware that she is not an opponent that can be defeated by her stormy attacks.

If it were him, he would definitely slow down the attack. Maybe a different attack method would be more effective, at least he wouldn't have to waste so much energy.

If the fight continues like this, it will be quite beneficial to me. If it is just about endurance, I will be much more advantageous than Milinda.

However, Haguero did not think that Milinda would make such a mistake that only low-level knights would make.

If Milinda is not attacking blindly, then she is looking for weak points in her defense by attacking herself frequently.

If this is the case, then Milinda must have killed something beyond her expectation.

Hagrid was worried about this because he knew that Milinda would never use the Secret Sword of Seven Kills to deal with him.

Milinda should know that the seven attack directions in her Seven Killing Secret Sword are not weaknesses at all for her.

On the contrary, she will leave a huge gap in the middle because she focuses too much on side attacks.

Unless Milinda masters a unique skill that can compensate for this fatal weakness.

Unless she can be sure that it will be absolutely difficult for her to attack her.

Hagriro was thinking about Milinda's possible attack methods while fighting.

In order for those seven killer moves to be successful, Milinda would have to master a more advanced defensive skill than herself, or she would be wearing an armor underneath her shirt.

However, this should be impossible. His sword skills can be called the king of defense. He is the only person in the world who can train "qi" into a protective armor-shaped defense mode.

If the defense is not good, it can only be dodge, but they are also Paladins, so there shouldn't be much difference in speed.

By training to the level of a Paladin, almost all the potential a person can develop in terms of physical fitness has been exhausted.

Although there will be slight differences because everyone's physique is different, it is unlikely to be too different anyway.

The only thing that allows Paladins to compete is their understanding and mastery of Qi.

Haguero couldn't imagine how Milinda could break through this limitation.

Just when he was worried about this, Milinda's actions changed.

She, who had been attacking all the time, suddenly stopped her stormy offensive, unfolded her nimble movements, and started to circle around herself.

Seeing the change in Milinda's offensive, Haguero immediately became vigilant.

However, he could never guess what kind of medicine this woman was selling in her gourd.

The change of body skills was not originally Milinda's specialty. Milinda's original sword skills were strange and changeable, but her footwork was not her strong point. When it comes to body skills, she has to count her "Moon Shadow Void" and Gorslow's. "film".

However, even if these two stunts are used against Paladins of comparable strength, they will be of no use.

This kind of movement can only be used to deal with opponents whose strength is far different.

But despite this, Hegeello has also increased his vigilance, and he intends to deal with any situation that may occur.

Unfortunately, he never imagined that Milinda's move would be so unexpected.

I saw Milinda, who was originally running around me, suddenly turned into countless phantoms, and these phantoms were stabbing me with swords from all directions at the same time.

What's even more frightening is that all the sword moves are so real, with endless murderous intent hidden in them, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

In an instant, a familiar impression emerged from the depths of Hegeiro's memory.

Isn't that the magical attack technique used by Kate, the magic knight of the Kingdom of Sophie, on the day of the Victory Day commemoration

At that time, the dazzling combination of magic and sword skills had left a deep impression on me.

At that time, I realized that this special sword skill was the only way to push my strength to an infinite realm when the sword reached its peak.

However, neither Trode nor Drexel, nor even the old bear Kobe Leo, can do anything about it.

It is precisely because of this that Hagriro has already given up on this.

Unexpectedly, another living example is now presented to me.

Moreover, this person who also possesses perfect combination of magic and sword skills is a paladin whose strength is similar to his own.

An indescribable feeling surged into Hegaero's heart.

A trace of helplessness, a trace of hesitation, and at the same time a trace of jealousy.

Hagrid gave up resistance, and he knew that he had lost, completely lost.

Although in the competition after the Victory Day memorial ceremony, it was his guidance that enabled Leerta to crack the almost identical attack of another magic knight.

But Haguero knew that the lucky victory was due to the extremely disparity in strength between the two sides.

The young man named Kate is a knight several levels lower than Leerta. Moreover, Leerta has gradually entered the door of the kendo palace, but Kate has not yet found the way to the palace.

It is precisely because of this huge gap that Leerta was able to use the essence of swordsmanship to break Kate's unskilled attack.

However, Haguero himself knew how lucky the victory was.

If Leerta's own strength was slightly worse.

If he discovers the way to crack it just a little later.

If Kate could also understand what he said to guide Relta during the competition.

As long as any of these assumptions are true, the loser in that competition will definitely be their Kaoqi Kingdom.

Ever since that competition, whenever he thought about all this, Hagrid couldn't help but feel upset.

He knew that although this young magic knight could not pose a threat to him in a short period of time, after all, it would take many years of hard work for this young man to reach his level.

However, Haguero knew that if this magical skill was obtained by any master who was similar in strength to himself and qualified as a paladin, then victory would definitely belong to the other party.

Because Hagrid deeply understood that the combination of magic and sword skills opened up a broader world for martial arts that had already reached its limit.

Comparing the masters standing in that world with the Paladin who has reached his limit, it is like the difference between the Paladin and other knights.

However, Hagrid never thought that he would encounter the opponent he least wanted to see so soon.

And this person who has far surpassed him turned out to be someone he had always thought he was very familiar with.

In fact, what was most difficult for Hagrid to accept was that this person turned out to be a woman, a woman he was extremely familiar with, a woman he had never really understood.

Suddenly, Haguero felt that everything was meaningless.

He lost.

He lost completely.

Not only did he lose to Milinda's plan.

He even lost the martial arts skill that he was most proud of.

It was understandable that he had been deceived by Milinda. After all, no one would have thought that the sister of his ally would betray the alliance.

But there is no excuse for failure in martial arts.

He lost.

Completely defeated.
