The knight in the abyss

Chapter 629 A Woman Who Will Live

Lancelot meditated and practiced Qi in the secret room of Hagrid Manor all night, which was no different from the countless nights before.Although there is almost no end in sight for the journey of self-cultivation, how far the monk can go depends entirely on whether the monk can persevere. Lancelow understands this truth, and actually did the same, just like what Han Tianzun repeatedly emphasized in his experience of self-cultivation— - Unity of knowledge and action.

When the red sun of Wanyuan Plain leaped over the horizon, Lancelot also opened his closed eyes.In front of him, a drop of crystal green liquid was slowly falling due to the dissipation of the aura vortex, and he caught it with a jade bottle.

The human knight stood up, feeling extra energetic, but the true energy in his body hadn't fully returned to normal.Speaking of which, three days ago, he just performed the rather risky move of 'immediately pouring out the body after Sangong'. Although judging from the results, he preserved the state of the middle stage of foundation establishment, his body was like a volcano that had just erupted. Again, it will take some time to recuperate slowly.

After eating the breakfast carefully prepared by little Isa, everyone went out together.Lancelot, Brutal, and Aramir naturally went to the mercenary hall for training, while the scholar and the little vampire went to Tijana's castle - the former had already started the copying of the Tome of Darkness, while the latter was going to accept A special training from a senior vampire, so that he can act normally during the day as soon as possible.

Hagrid Manor was not far from the mercenary hall. After walking through a few secluded roads, the surrounding area quickly became lively, and the tall silhouette of the mercenary hall soon appeared in their field of vision.

The flow of people entering and leaving this building was obviously much higher than yesterday, most of them were new mercenaries who were going to spend all their first week's salary before going to the battlefield.It was only now that Lancelot realized Tijana's "brilliance" - the succubus lord not only generously paid the first week's salary in advance, but also very considerately set aside a day of free action to ensure that the mercenaries They are free and will definitely spend the gold they just got.

Due to the war, the number of caravans traveling to and from Shuangqiao Town has decreased significantly, and economic activities in the city have shown signs of shrinking.But now more than 2000 mercenaries received a salary of nearly 50 gold coins at once, and money is useless to the dead, so of course they must be spent as soon as possible.Tijana used the same money to not only hire a mercenary army, but also stimulate the economy in the territory. It can be said that a gold coin was split in half, and Lancelot couldn't help but admire silently in his heart.

What a woman who knows how to live!
The appearance of the mercenary hall is like an arena, and the newly added floors are not divided into different functional areas like the first floor, so the space looks extremely spacious.

The three of them came to the fourth floor again, where it was simply divided into dozens of small training grounds about [-] feet square, separated by weapon racks with protective gear and blunt swords in the middle.When they arrived, there were already many people training there, most of them had the same purpose as Lancelow, and the squad leader tested the strength of his subordinates.Of course, it is also possible that they simply want to fight. After all, hitting a sandbag that cannot fight back is no fun.

Right at the entrance of the steps they came up from, a berserker was fighting three tiefling warriors with shield axes in one against three.As an elite infantry soldier in the Demon Legion, the Berserker Demon already has an extremely strong physique, and the unarmed training weapon magnifies its physical advantage. With just a few punches, it will beat all the opponents who besieged it to the ground. At the end, he taunted loudly that those sandbags are only good as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's physical strength.

The other members of Lancelot's team had already arrived. They were waiting in the corner against the wall, watching the battle with great interest, and discussing a few words in a low voice from time to time.From Lancelot's point of view, this is a very positive phenomenon. He is actually very worried that a smaller circle will form in this temporary team, but now it seems that the banquet last night played an expected role, although it is impossible Immediately let everyone become intimate, but at least succeeded in making each other familiar.

"Morning Lancelot, and Brutal and Aramiel." The shapeshifting monkey 'Jing' was the first to notice their arrival, and greeted them lively, "You are finally here, it looks really good here. Fun! Can we go down and play too?"

"It won't be fun for you in a while." Lancelot nodded to the rest of the crowd, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've eaten my peaches!" The girl monkey demon proudly reported to him, "The breakfast here is actually a stick, it's really scary!"

"That's bread..." Flint Luger, a dwarf with bright yellow hair, looked at her helplessly, "And it's quite authentic dwarf flavor..."

"I finally understand why someone doesn't like my bread." Aramiel glanced at Brutal and shook his head helplessly.

"Let's go in."

Lancelot looked around and led the crowd towards an unoccupied training ground.He was already wearing a full body armor, and he would put on the helmet later. There was no need to put on additional protective gear at all, and the situation of Aramiel and Evandel was the same as him.The others honestly put on a full set of protective gear, with a layer of cotton armor on the outside. They must have been sweating profusely from the heat under normal circumstances, but there was some kind of magical cool breeze in the hall. With light blowing, the temperature in the room is ideal for intense exercise.

Lancelot pulled out a three-foot-long one-handed sword from the shelf, waved it in the air, and then turned his wrist to pull out a beautiful sword flower.It can be seen that the creator of this sword was very careless in his work, not to mention the sharpening, even the quenching was done very casually, with blue and red spots on the surface.Even so, this sword still has excellent balance and feels quite comfortable in the hand. Although it is not enough to carry on the battlefield, it is very suitable as a training sword.

"So, who wants to be the first?" Lancelot looked at his team members, "Although my purpose is to understand everyone's strength, you can also try to see if you can beat me..."

"I'll come, I'll come!" The monkey demon, whose personality and name didn't match at all, jumped out first, and ran into the arena before Lancelow nodded, "Well, I can still use my own stick, is it okay?"

"Of course." Lancelot put the long sword on his shoulder, and walked to the opposite side of Jing, "Use any tricks, let me see how powerful monks are!"

Hearing that the monkey demon didn't talk nonsense, he clapped his hands, and the iron-headed stick with its tail curled up gave off a red light.The next moment, she rushed towards Lancelot with both hands and feet, as fast as flying close to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, she had rushed to Lancelow, and the iron-headed rod was in her hand. It swept fiercely towards the human knight's legs, bringing out a stream of red light.
