"Pfft, who would be interested in you? I've called you several times, but you blame me for not getting up."
Victoria didn't care about the shy Alyssa, she was already folding the quilt by herself.
"Okay, get up quickly and fold the quilt. After cleaning the church, we have to go to Victor's place."
"Know it."
Alyssa moved quickly, put on her daily robe, made the bed and went to fetch water.Victoria, who was left in the room sweeping the floor, found that a long-unused pen was placed on the table.Maybe Alyssa wrote something yesterday, but she could write something.Victoria felt there was no need to care about this and put the pen back to its original place.
Cleaning the church is not an easy task, and generally speaking, only two girls are not allowed to do this kind of work.But today, not only Victoria still maintains the vitality of the past, Alisa is also extraordinarily energetic.The two of them finished cleaning the church in less time than usual, even before the church's clergy were on duty.After finishing her morning prayer, Victoria went back to change her clothes.
"Alyssa, are you going to wear this?"
After changing her clothes, Victoria looked at the white-haired girl from top to bottom.Alyssa's white robes, compared with Victoria's light leather coat, are like priests and warriors in fantasy stories.
"Yeah, I don't want to go to training, this body is fine."
"Okay, if your clothes get dirty then you have to wash them yourself."
"Okay, okay. Let's set off quickly."
Alyssa seemed even more excited than Victoria, and couldn't wait to push her out of the church door.
The church was not close to the warehouse managed by Victor, but amid the gossip and fighting between the two girls, they soon arrived at the hut next to the warehouse.
"dong dong dong"
Victoria gently knocked on the door of the hut.Soon there were footsteps behind the door.
"Ah, here you are, little Tori. The rapier and musket are hanging in the yard. You can get them yourself."
Victor was about to close the door, but found someone else outside the door.
"Huh? Alyssa, why are you here too."
"Yeah, grandpa Victor, I'm here to visit Sister Tori's training."
Alyssa showed a harmless smile, but Victor looked like he had seen a ghost.
In the yard, Victoria was taking a lunge and waving her rapier in the air.Although the rapier is much lighter than the classical long sword, it is quite rare for someone like Victoria to swing it hundreds of times in the air without breaking a sweat.
After waving hundreds of times, Victoria turned to look at Victor.He and Alyssa hit it off almost immediately. Victor was saying something while sitting in his rocking chair and rocking slowly.Alyssa sat on the edge of the rocking chair, squinting her eyes and not knowing what she was thinking.
"I didn't expect you two to get along so well. I really don't know how you could have something to talk about with such a big age difference."
Victoria put down her rapier and picked up a jug of water to drink.
"Indeed, I don't know how we have anything to talk about."
Victor looked away a little guilty and said in a low voice.Alisa ran over with a look of indifference.
"I will be an adult next year, Miss Tolly. Why do you still treat me like a child?"
As she spoke, she picked up a towel to wipe Victoria's sweat.However, she looked left and right and couldn't find where Victoria was sweating, so she had no choice but to give up.In return for her concern, Victoria pinched Alyssa's face gently.
"Tori, go pick up the flintlock and practice two rapid fires. Although generally speaking, no one can withstand your four consecutive shots, but you must leave yourself a way out."
Victor covered his face and said slowly.
Victoria quickly found an old but well-maintained flintlock pistol on the weapons rack.The eight-pointed cross tattooed on it made Victoria feel a little uncomfortable. Although Victor was her godfather, she also knew that he was a member of the Catholic Knights.But after all, this is Mulhouse, Alsace, not Malta or Jerusalem.
Victoria had not been trained long in the art of handling a musket.Victor may be able to teach a girl how to use a rapier for reasons of strengthening her body or giving her self-defense, but there are still some taboos in the use of muskets.It wasn't until recently that she was asked to practice a few more times, and she was taught the ability to draw multiple guns and shoot quickly, a skill that pirates in novels would use.But I have to say that it is more convenient to stuff more guns directly on the body than to slowly reload this kind of stuff after shooting.
Although Victoria tried her best to speed up the reloading, due to several sequence errors, she still failed to break the record set by Victor.Just when she was thinking about going to the shelf to change a gun, Victor suddenly left the rocking chair and came over.
"Tori, pay attention. What I am going to teach you next is the most useful move of our order in actual combat."
With that said, Victor randomly took a pistol from the shelf and began to load ammunition into it.Victoria looked at Alisa who was still standing under the eaves, and found that Alisa gave her a thumbs up with a smile.Just as Victoria was about to respond, she heard an unquestionable voice from the side.
"Victoria, look carefully, this may be a technique you will use to save your life in the future."
Victoria is very strange, because most of her life will only be spent near Mulhouse.Even if there is a war, people generally won't loot churches now.Out of respect for Victor, she turned her attention back.
"DeusVult!"
Victor fired while pronouncing a Latin phrase.Since Victoria not only received education from a church seminary since she was a child, but also read a lot of books from Victor, she naturally knew that this sentence meant what God intended. As for Victor's shooting, there seemed to be nothing special about it.However, Victoria soon discovered that there was a small hole in the haystack target.This can't help but surprise her. This thick haystack target will never be penetrated by a rifle, let alone a short musket.
"clap clap"
Suddenly there was soft applause from the side, and Victoria turned her head to see that the usually unreliable white figure was applauding with a gratified expression.
"Victoria, listen!"
Victor's words forced her to turn her attention back.
"Ahem, this slogan is just something I'm used to. You don't need to learn it."
Victor said with a slight blush.
"But one thing should be in common." Victor picked up a necklace with a cross of Lorraine on the side table, "wear this, and then pray when shooting, you can use this powerful shooting. You come try?"
Victor carefully put the necklace around Victoria's neck, and then slowly walked back to his rocking chair like an old man.
“Please answer our prayers.
Stretch out your right hand to help us,
Have your loved ones rescued. "
Reciting the poem silently in her heart, Victoria raised her gun and found a mysterious power filling her body.She squeezed the trigger lightly, and the muzzle released a puff of white smoke with black powder residue as usual, but the projectile fired was as stable as the Minie bullet used in a new rifled gun.It easily penetrated the grass target in front and was firmly embedded in the stone wall behind.After the shot, Victoria found the power had left her, leaving her feeling slightly empty.
"I didn't expect her to be so talented..."
Victor showed an ugly expression and muttered to himself, then raised his head again,
"It's okay, you can practice for a while."
Victoria looked at Victor who didn't know what he was thinking, and finally gave up guessing what was going on with him.
Victoria practiced what she now calls the Blessing Shot for a while longer.She didn't know why, but the more she practiced, the more energetic she felt.Just when she was about to immerse herself in it, a familiar girl's voice suddenly came to her ears.
"It's getting late, Sister Toli, didn't you say you still want to take me to the bathing place?"
Victoria's body trembled, as if waking up from a dream.
"Huh? Oh, yes. Why did I forget about this?"
She gradually regained her former composure, but when she tried to put the weapon back on the shelf, she was stopped by Victor.
"Take it, and the rapier next to it. I don't have anything to teach you. Remember to practice when you are alone."
"What? It's like I won't see you again."
Victoria smiled easily, picked up the rapier from the wall and pinned it on her body.
"See you soon, Victor"
"Well, see you later..."
Victor slowly closed the door.
……
The newly opened bathhouse in Mulhouse is a Roman-style bathhouse. Compared with the shy Victoria, Eliza seems to be very relaxed.The men in the bathhouse obviously had no interest in these two half-year-old children, but after seeing Victoria's secretive appearance, everyone around them pointed at her.
"Sister Tolly, don't stand in the way. Didn't you say you wanted to find me yesterday? And you made it seem like someone would be interested in your bare board."
"Alyssa!"
I don't know if it was because of the steam or because she was too shy, but Victoria's face was already flushed red.
Obviously, everyone usually just finds a bucket or a river to wash, but Alyssa now behaves as if she has washed in this kind of place many times.Victoria was still a little nervous at first, but after soaking in the warm pool for a while, she gradually relaxed and floated on the water.
Bathing time always passes quickly. When the two girls packed up and came out of the bathhouse gate, it was already a little late, and dark thunderclouds began to slowly move here from a distance.
"Shall we go back to church quickly?"
Victoria obviously didn't want her newly washed hair to get wet in the rain again. Thanks to the rapid industrialization along the Rhine River, the rain here was not very friendly to the hair.
"Why are you going back to church so early? It's hard to get a day off. I still have a place I want to go."
"But the weather..."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go back before it rains."
Alyssa held Victoria's hand a little stubbornly, trying to drag her away, but it was obvious that her strength was not enough to shake Victoria, who had been exercising for a long time, so she could only shake Victoria's hand like a coquettish girl.Victoria couldn't resist her, so she had to follow her first.
"Where are we going? If it's too far away, I don't want to go..."
After walking for a few minutes, Victoria was a little worried as she looked at the dark clouds getting closer and closer.Fortunately, this is also the way back to the church.
"It's very close. Look, it's right in front."
"In front? Isn't that Charlie's home? Are we going to confess to him?"
"Well, it's almost the same, but it's better to call it redemption."
"Redemption?"
Victoria didn't respond for a moment.Alisa has already knocked on Charlie's door.Soon, footsteps came from inside the door.
"Little Tori? What are you doing here? If it's to pray, I'm sorry, I just came out of prison and am not in good health."
"Ah, hello Mr. Charlie, it was Alyssa who dragged me here. Eh? Where is Alyssa?"
Victoria looked left and right, and Alyssa, who was beside her just now, had gone somewhere.But there were faint sounds of chanting in an unknown language in the distance.
"Damn it, little Tori, stay away from me, I seem to be sick again."
While talking, Charlie covered his head and pushed Victoria away fiercely, trying to close the door and lock himself inside.However, his illness obviously developed much faster than he thought.Soon he could only cover his head and roll on the ground.
"Mr. Charlie! What's wrong with you?"
Victoria quickly got up, wanting to check on Charlie's situation.But what greeted her was a slap in the face.When Charlie raised his head again, his eyes had turned blood red, and his hands had also mutated.
"ah!"
Victoria screamed, relying on her extraordinary reflexes to narrowly avoid Charlie's big claws, and ran away regardless of her appearance.However, Victoria was soon overtaken by Charlie on the unsheltered country streets.
After dodging another slap, Victoria quickly took out the short musket hanging on her waist.Trembling, he tore open the paper package of ammunition and tried to load it.However, it was obvious that Charlie would not give her this chance. Just when she was using the rod to compact the ammunition, Charlie jumped over and knocked the musket out of Victoria's hand with one claw, and then grabbed Victoria with another claw. neck.
Victoria sat back, and Charlie's powerful and heavy claws only scratched her nose, but she was thrown to the side by the inertia.Regardless of the pain, Victoria quickly drew out her rapier.She would never have thought that she had just finished sword practice in the morning and would have actual combat in the evening.
Charlie quickly stabilized his figure, muttered words he couldn't understand at all, and rushed over again.Victoria, who had a bayonet in her hand, did not choose to run away, but hid to the side and slashed a sword at Charlie, who had turned into a monster.
The sharp blade cut through Charlie's skin, but it was difficult to deeply damage his muscles that were already as strong as steel.In several confrontations, Victoria found it difficult to find opportunities to stab with the rapier. At the same time, she was also afraid that she would not be able to kill the sword after stabbing non-vital parts.After the battle lasted for a few minutes, Victoria gradually felt that the monster in front of her was grasping the characteristics of Victoria's actions.Each tentative attack brought closer and closer to the dead end of Victoria's operation.Finally, after a thrust, Victoria couldn't dodge in time, and her clothes on her chest were cut, revealing her cute underwear.But before she could be shy, more cunning attacks came towards Victoria, leaving several holes of varying depths on her arms, chest and legs, with red blood flowing out.
