Working Prophet.

Chapter 240 wasted effort
After the trip to the capital, Marquis Cullen's figure looked even thinner. His temples, which were black before, now have a few strands of white hair.

However, his spirit is quite good. Even if the eldest son David made such a big mess, he didn't seem to be affected too much.

In the morning, he presided over Ilea's conferring ceremony, and ate a leg of lamb at noon, and started practicing swords in the yard in the afternoon.

When Ilea and Li Yu arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, he had just finished exchanging ideas with his captain of the guard, sweating profusely, glanced at Li Yu beside Ilea, and asked, "Do you want to play two games?"

"No thanks, I don't know how to use a sword."

"It can be seen that you are the kind of person who prefers to use your brain to solve problems. Wisdom is indeed more effective than fists most of the time, but... in your life, you will inevitably encounter other moments that must be solved by the sword Question, come on, let me teach you a few tricks."

Marquis Cullen had already thrown the blunt sword used for practice before Li Yu could reply.

Li Yu could only reach out to catch it.

After that, the head of the Figuerola family threw another sword to Ilea who was standing aside.

The latter said in surprise, "Am I coming too? I'm just a woman."

"But you are a knight now, and when you fought the black dragon, didn't you also charge forward?"

"Well……"

"In short, let me teach you the standing posture first. Put your feet apart, like me, keep them shoulder-width apart, yes, take a step forward with your left foot, with the toe pointing in the direction you want to attack, and the other foot The toes should also be separated, and the two feet should be T-shaped, which can keep your body as balanced as possible in all four directions.

"Next, bend your knees slightly and relax your body, but not too much, and keep your back straight. No, your shoulders are too stiff, which makes your movements dull, and slowness in combat means Danger."

Marquis Cullen said to Li Yu, but when he looked at the female lord, he was surprised to find that the girl's posture was quite standard.

"Have you practiced before?"

"No, but when I was young, I often watched my father practice swords in the open space in front of the castle."

"Oh. Although I have said it once before, I still want to say that I am deeply sorry for what happened to your father." Marquis Cullen said seriously, "And it was caused by my lax discipline. I A sincere apology is required for the actions of my eldest son David, Ser Ilea."

The girl pursed her lips tightly.

"Tell me what I can do for you."

"Justice, I have nothing but justice, my lord." The female lord said without hesitation.

"Then you will get the justice you desire, and I assure you with the honor of the Figueirola family." Marquis Cullen said without changing his expression.

"However, David is your son, the future owner of the Western Territory..."

"I have two sons, and just three years ago, I got a grandson, so you don't have to worry about my successor." Marquis Cullen said.

After a pause, he said to Li Yu again, "It's better, let's learn how to hold a sword next. Hold the hilt with your right hand as close to the guard as possible, and hold the back with the other hand without touching the pommel. Hold it like this. With the sword, you can guarantee the strength and maintain the accuracy of the sword.

"The last step is to take the posture. Lower the sword, with the tip of the sword pointing down, pointing to the ground. This posture will trick the opponent into attacking you. Pay attention to his footsteps and the direction of attack..."

Marquis Cullen spent about half an hour teaching the two of them some basic knowledge of swordsmanship.

But to apply this knowledge to actual combat, it still needs to go through a long and boring training process, but neither Ilea nor Li Yu are very interested in persevering.

As a woman, Miss Rabbit didn't feel that she needed to master swordsmanship. As for Li Yu, as a prophet, she didn't plan to change her job to become a warrior. Besides, if he really wanted to fight in close quarters, he also had an electronic anti-riot device.

So the Marquis of Cullen has been busy for so long, but it was all in vain, winking at the blind man.

Fortunately, he finally got to the point and asked Li Yudao, "You said that the foreigner named Gabriel still has people from his tribe, and they are going to attack us?"

"That's right. What he said at the time was - Carnival, carnival to your heart's content, because your good days are coming to an end, and the brave and fearless Wings will cross the ocean to conquer this decaying land for their mother god land, and enslave all the stupid and weak land races."

Li Yu repeated Gabriel's threat again.

Marquis Cullen frowned, "Did he mention where his hometown is?"

Li Yu shook his head, "No."

"How many are they?"

"do not know."

"I can understand your concerns, but it is difficult for me to convince His Majesty the Emperor and other nobles of the empire to pay enough attention to this matter with just one sentence," Marquis Cullen said frankly.

"After all, for thousands of years, there has never been a guy with wings like this on the continent of Bratis. It seems that he came to our land more like a coincidence."

"There hasn't been a dragon on Bratis Continent for 3000 years, but just over a month ago, my people and I just killed one," the female lord said, "There is a first time for everything."

The Patriarch of the Figuerola family pondered for a moment, "How about this, let me send the news to those cities on the east coast, and ask the lords there to ask local sailors and merchants to see if there is any place overseas. Life has such a group of people with wings.

"If this place really exists, I can persuade some families to be vigilant and make some preparations and arrangements in advance."

"What about His Majesty the Emperor?" Miss Rabbit still had a good impression of the emperor who awarded her the title of Dragon Slayer Knight.

However, Marquis Cullen said, "It's best not to have too many expectations for Your Majesty."

"Is it because of the Goddess of Life?" The female lord recalled what David had said before, "Is Your Majesty bewitched by her?"

"It seems that similar rumors have spread to the western region, but things are more complicated than you imagined. I also met the priest of the goddess when I went to the capital this time, and personally learned her methods. I can only say that she I am afraid that your ability is not inferior to Merlin's prophet." Marquis Cullen said.

Li Yu hadn't said anything yet, but Ireya was startled, "Really, is she so powerful? Can she also record voices, can she control the three-eyed bird?"

"No, but she has other talents."

"What skills."

"She can spy on people's hearts and get into your head, and there is nowhere to hide any of your secrets in front of him." Marquis Cullen warned, "If you meet her, you must not have any physical contact with her .”
