Ryan's Sword

Chapter 58 The Blonde Girl in Act Eight

"Have I seen you somewhere?"

This was the first sentence Lilith heard when she walked towards Ian.

Adventurers who often hang out in the Louisburg Adventurers Guild basically know that the branch leader here, Beastmaster Moore Barak, has a lively and lovely daughter.Although the blond-haired Beastmaster is a rough man with a figure that is more like a northerner, his youngest daughter has inherited all the advantages of her mother who is a southern woman except for his pure blond hair color.This year, she has just completed her birth ceremony under the blessing of her parents, and she has already grown into a slim figure, and her appearance is even more sweet and moving.

With a father who is the president, this blond girl naturally became the apple of the eye of the entire Lewisburg Adventurers Guild.Although she is loved by thousands of people, the girl did not become a spoiled princess. On the contrary, when the guild is the busiest, she always appears in the lobby to help the staff complete boring tasks such as task handover and information registration. reception work.

In addition, the girl showed her father's talent for marksmanship at a very young age.Under the careful training and training of the Beastmaster, she successfully embarked on the path of a professional before she became an adult.Since then, they have advanced all the way at an astonishing speed, and now, it is said that they are already preparing to hit the Iron Rank realm—for many ordinary adventurers who can only wander in the White Rank throughout their lives, It's a talent they can hardly imagine.

"Hello, my name is Lilith, Lilith Barack."

"Hello, Miss Lilith, I am Ian Grant."

Two young people of similar age told each other their names after meeting, but their eyes widened in the next moment.

Ian didn't know the purpose of this gorgeous blond lady walking towards him, and the old-fashioned opening remark was because he was convinced that he seemed to have seen this blond ponytail girl dressed as a ranger somewhere in front of him ; and after introducing themselves to each other, Lilith realized that she seemed to have no experience of close contact with the opposite sex among her peers.

For a moment, the two young people didn't know what to say next.

At this time, Ian had just defeated five opponents at the top of the white rank in a row in the selection organized by the Adventurer's Guild.His clean and agile moves and nimble and sharp fast attack not only amazed the onlookers, but even those iron-level masters in the guild couldn't help but stare sideways.It is precisely because of this unexpected performance that no white-level adventurer behind him is willing to continue to challenge him-everyone has only one chance to participate in the selection, and Ian's tough bone is of course not as easy to pinch as a persimmon. people welcome.

Such a situation made the guild official who served as the referee, a white-haired old man with a benevolent face and looks like an old pedant, take advantage of the opportunity to announce that Ian has won a place in the adventure group.

After the game, Ian went through the crowd and found a pile of large wooden boxes neatly stacked against the outer wall outside the guild hall.These boxes are the products left over from the adventurers guild after loading and unloading sundries, and they will not be cleaned up collectively until the accumulation reaches a certain level.This place was not far from the crowded selection scene, but it was quiet enough.Ian leaned against the wall and sat down on the wooden box. While waiting for the guild team to complete the selection, he thought about how to deal with some details after he followed the team into the ruins of the temple.

Afterwards, there was a scene of a blond girl walking towards him.

The cold scene between the two didn't last long, because Lilith had already remembered that it seemed that it was Ian who came to him on her own initiative.

"I can tell by looking at you that you are not a local adventurer from Lewisburg, um..." Her pair of sapphire-like eyes looked up and down curiously, "With your sword skills, if you often appear In the guild, then I will definitely have an impression!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Ian blinked, and deliberately put on a proud expression of "it's a small thing", shamelessly taking this as a compliment from the girl to himself.

Sure enough, his intentionally funny appearance successfully made Lilith laugh.

Ian was stunned by the girl's bright smile, and then, a familiar scene flashed through his mind——

"I remembered, wasn't it you who posted the mission announcement at noon..."

"Yes, it's me!"

Lilith nodded proudly and smiled.Her big eyes were crescents, as if posting mission announcements was a great honor for her.

While chatting and laughing, the charmingly smiling girl took two steps forward, leaping onto the box next to Ian as lightly as a willow leaf.Following Ian's example, she sat down directly, shook her calf lightly, measured herself curiously and said, "I heard from others that the sword technique you used was handed down from the army, but they also said that you used The way of the sword is different from the kind of swordsmanship they have seen, why is that?"

That's because my swordsmanship comes from the orthodox inheritance of the Xiongshi family, not the incomplete version circulated on the market.

Ian thought to himself.

The girl's doubts were not groundless. Ian's previous Azure players also obtained enough meritorious service on the battlefield to exchange for military ranks and be promoted to the level of officers before they were able to fully learn the real military swordsmanship.

In fact, even ordinary soldiers don't know that the swordsmanship they practice hard every day is actually not the complete version created by the sword master Soderos - this is not deliberately hidden by the Ryan royal family. After all, the power of military swordsmanship The huge real killing move is not something that every ordinary soldier can easily master.And those lower-ranking officers who fought step by step on the battlefield have proved with their feats and performance that they are capable of mastering complete military swordsmanship.

This is also the road that every military sword master who comes out of the army must go through.

"To be precise, the scientific name of the sword technique I use is 'Ryan Military Sword Technique'."

Ian did not tell the curious young girl in front of him the secret behind the swordsmanship, but explained in another way: "There is an old saying in my hometown that says, 'There are no two identical leaves in the world. ", this means that the leaves on the tree seem to be all the same, but after careful observation, it can be found that those seemingly identical pages actually have subtle differences.In the same way, the same swordsmanship is used by different people. Since each person's personality, habits, and level of practice are different, there must be differences. "

After a flicker, Ian looked at the girl's dazed eyes, and added with a smile in his heart: "So you understand?"

"There are no two identical leaves in the world..." Lilith pondered the profound philosophy of this sentence, and then she nodded in a daze after a while and said: "Although I don't understand it very well, the old saying you said seems to be true. Makes sense!"

Just when Ian was satisfied with his flickering skills, he suddenly found that his sleeve was grabbed by the girl, and he shook it vigorously.He turned his head in astonishment, but saw the blond girl beside him staring at him with big watery eyes, and asked expectantly, "Then can you teach me swordsmanship?"

"what?"

Caught off guard, Ian was stunned.

It wasn't until the guild team next door announced that the selection was over, and all the members gathered to prepare to set off, that Ian finally figured out what was going on with the blond girl who pestered him to learn swordsmanship.

It turned out that although Lilith showed superhuman talent as a professional in the eyes of outsiders, she actually had her own troubles.The reason is that Lilith's father, the powerful adventurer known as the king of beasts, is a professional hunter. He very much hopes that his daughter will be like him, with the protection and assistance of powerful animal companions, with superb shooting skills. Snipe the enemy from a distance.However, although the lively Lilith has inherited her father's skills in bow and arrow, subconsciously, she is looking forward to being active on the front line of the battlefield and confronting the enemy head-on.

As a result, the father and daughter disagreed for the first time on the issue of career path choice.

"..."

After listening to Lilith's pour, Ian was full of bitterness, and Ian couldn't help but drip a bean-sized cold sweat on his forehead.He really didn't expect that the blond girl in front of him, under her petite figure and sweet appearance, actually hides a strong heart belonging to a woman!At this moment, the image of a handsome middle-aged uncle bursting into tears and wailing appeared in Ian's mind. He could completely imagine how helpless and apathetic Lilith's father, the beast king, would be after he understood the thoughts of his precious daughter. despair!However, it seemed that her father was still unable to win over her daughter in the end, otherwise, the path Lilith chose would not be an agility-side professional ranger who took into account melee combat!
Even in Ian's previous life, many of the female players in Azure tended to prefer long-distance professions such as mages, priests, or hunters, especially hunters with their own babies. The proportion of female players far exceeded that of rough men such as warriors.For girls, the cloth armor, leather armor and other armor equipped by long-distance occupations can not only show their beautiful figure, but also look better than the other. In addition, the risks of the battlefield that long-distance combat avoids to the greatest extent allow them to fight while fighting. Eat melons and watch the show, while happily beating the enemy.As for putting on heavy armor and charging into battle, a fool would like to do that!
Well, right now, in front of Ian's eyes, there is a little fool with expectant eyes.

"Well……"

Ian thought for a moment while leaning on his lower handlebar.It stands to reason that as a ranger is a common panacea profession among adventurers, it is indeed feasible to choose a long sword as an off-hand weapon. However, it can be seen from the longbow on Lilith's back that what she is good at should be passed down from her father. Bow and arrow archery, not the kind of melee ranger who focuses on swordsmanship.
