Civilization Guardian Front

"Although it is the fixed station of the legion, this place is not only composed of executors. Rather, the number of executors is relatively small, less than 3% of the city's population..."

The Maiden of the Spear, whose body was as straight as a javelin, pointed at the city under the night with her plain finger, and explained to Chios the situation of the Seventh Legion's garrison:

"This is actually a world owned by the lord. A long time ago, the lord moved a large number of local people into the city to settle down, and it is now prosperous."

Right now, the streets of the Eternal City are brightly lit, and street lights are set up every ten steps along the road. The light is not too bright and soft, which keeps the city peaceful at night and provides guidance for pedestrians.

Chios couldn't tell what kind of energy these lamps used to generate light and heat, at least he could be sure that it wasn't a flame.

The business district outside the palace group is crowded with people at this moment, and the bustling and prosperous scene is only slightly inferior to that in daytime.

People dressed in different styles walk into taverns, restaurants and other stores to enjoy delicious food and wine under the warm greeting of the clerks who attract customers.

In the alleys a little far from the main street, some courtyards light red candle lights next to the doors and windows, or wear purple or red dresses, or even only a transparent tulle... etc. are full of hints It means men and women in attire, leaning against the window and waiting for customers to come to the door.

"So, we are actually getting along with the residents of a world..." Chios looked at the city that was still thriving and full of vitality under the lights at night, and raised his own questions:

"I don't know how they see the executor, and how do they adapt to the difference between the two?"

Hearing the young man's question, Lianna couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Qios, you come from a world separated from fantasy and destiny, so it's not easy to understand the feelings of plot characters like us..."

Speaking of this, the woman stared at the distant horizon with long-distance eyes, not knowing what she was recalling.

"For us, the executor is...the one who helps us break free from the shackles of the plot and break the cycle of desperate fate..."

The light-blond hair was gently blown by the breeze, and a relieved smile quietly appeared on the beautiful and awe-inspiring face of the Saint of the Spear.

"Hero..."

Chapter 160 Three? Instructor's Special Training Course

Clang!

The two long swords collided, and a ball of sparks burst out.

Received the opponent's slash with the cross-section of the sword body, and instantly judged the strength of each other's force through the feedback of touch. Chios raised his shoulders and applied force, flipped his wrist, and wanted to twist the opponent's long sword to the right.

"Still too slow..."

As the woman's voice reached the young man's ears, the simple steel sword that was originally pressed on the Scottish King's Sword has returned.

brush!

Chiosjia forcefully pushed away the opponent's blade, and it fell completely in the air.

He didn't have time to retract the sword's momentum, and his entire left body was exposed to the threat of the enemy's sword.

swoosh swish...

The dazzling silver sword light was like a meteor shower, covering Chios' body in the blink of an eye.

However, the opponent's terrifying attack did not really hurt him.

The tip of the sword tapped lightly on the young man's clothes, and left before piercing anything. The same action was repeated at least ten times without any mistakes.

"You rely so much on the technique of entanglement that you neglect the importance of your other senses!"

She took two steps back with her sword, and Liana, whose light-blond hair was not messed up in the battle, looked at Chios who looked a little embarrassed in front of her, and pointed out his shortcomings in a stern tone:

"Use your eyes to observe the opponent's every movement, footsteps, and eyes; use your ears to listen to the opponent's breathing, heartbeat, and the sound of the wind when attacking; rely on the skin to feel the airflow direction and the oppressive feeling of the approaching blade... mobilize all your senses, To read the enemy's intentions, use wisdom and experience to piece together a complete countermeasure!"

"Huh...hah..."

At this moment, Chios was short of breath, sweat slid down his cheeks, and kept dripping on the ground. The hands holding the long sword trembled slightly due to fatigue and soreness, and his physical strength seemed to have been exhausted to the limit.

The one-morning training almost exhausted every ounce of energy in his body.

However, the black-haired young man still stood firm, and his deep purple eyes remained sharp as usual.

He took a breath and replied:

"Yes, instructor!"

"Well, the eyes are very good..." The woman in the thick silver armor nodded.

"Although there is no room for criticism, in the past three days, your flexibility with the sword has indeed improved a lot, and the use of your whole body's strength has also become much smoother..."

Saying so, the simple long sword in her hand suddenly disappeared, and the original majestic and majestic expression became much softer like ice and snow melting.

"Your talent is outstanding, but the most important thing is that you have a firm heart, always maintain confidence in yourself, don't be discouraged by being easily defeated by me, and improve yourself steadily at a steady pace. This kind of will is commendable."

"Huh..." Seeing the opponent put away his weapon, Chios finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Three nights have passed since he came to the Eternal City...

After the first peaceful night, at dawn every morning, Chios followed the training schedule set by the Maiden of the Spear, and went to the cliff outside the palace to practice swords.

When the sun is completely out of the horizon, a blond figure in full armor will always appear nearby to observe the youth's exercise.

After that, until lunch time, it was all hellish one-on-one special training time...

Martial arts beyond the limits of human beings, and the saint of the gun who has lived for more than 250 years, the combat experience is not much to mention.Even if Chios just raised his wrist, stepped back half a step, or even changed his eyes, the other party had observed them thoroughly, thus predicting his next move.

During the sparring process, Liana never used more strength or speed than Chios knew, and she had no chance to fight back simply by virtue of her precise judgment and superb basic swordsmanship.

During this process, Chios' understanding of combat also rapidly improved.

When his physical fitness reaches the limit of a mortal, his swordsmanship must also be improved. Many reactions and movements that he could not do in the past can now be integrated into swordsmanship.

The skills developed by mortals, after all, exist to arm ordinary people.

When you have more room for improvement, you must boldly adjust the "dogma" that was regarded as the standard in the past, otherwise it will lose its practical effect.

This is the most important concept he has learned from the Holy Maiden of the Spear, the person who has always been at the pinnacle of martial arts in the past three days.

"Thank you, Instructor Liana."

Faced with the young man's sincere thanks, Lianna was slightly taken aback, and then a faint smile of relief quickly appeared on her face.

"Take a break for two hours at noon, let's go to the business district for dinner."

...

Eternal City, business district...

The road facing the main entrance of the palace was named "Athens Avenue" after the commander of the Seventh Army.There are many shops on both sides of the street, bringing together the city's best weapons and equipment, clothing and armor, cooking and drinking, pastries and desserts... and other boutique shops.

Just as Chios has been to the Champs Elysees in Paris, Luisa in Belgium, and Montenapoleone Avenue in Milan, this is the palace of fashion, civilization, art, and knowledge in the city.

Walking with Liana, the awe-inspiring beauty of the Maiden of the Gun and the handsome and mysterious Chios became the most eye-catching scenery on the street.

However, even if it is a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, few people misunderstand the relationship between the two.

Not only because of their lack of intimacy, but more like the interaction between the elders and younger generations. The mature and refined temperament of the blond woman beyond appearance alone makes the desirable vocabulary of love seem small when applied to her.

As Liana said, there are only a handful of executors in the Eternal City.The vast majority of citizens don't know the Holy Maiden of the Gun at all, and can only vaguely infer the identity of her executor from her attire.

Walking to a two-story restaurant, Liana opened the door and entered with ease.

Chios, who was following the instructor, silently glanced at the store's nameplate...

"Paul Michelle"

Very typical of restaurants with their own name as the name of the restaurant. Generally speaking, if this kind of restaurant is not of high standard, the owner is pure egomaniac.

"Welcome... Oh ~ Miss Sandrot!" The waitress in the store saluted the customer respectfully and politely. After raising her head to see Liana's face clearly, she immediately bent down and pointed her hand towards the window.

"Is it the same seat by the window today?"

"No, I need to add another friend." The maiden of the spear in silver armor responded with a smile.

"Add one more... Oh~~ God, what a handsome man!" The waitress stared at Chios with bright eyes, and a burst of admiration burst out from the depths of her throat.

Then, the girl asked excitedly:

"Could it be that Miss Sandrot's spring is finally coming?"

"He's my student..."

The Maiden of the Spear answered frankly without any embarrassment.

"That's it, haha, what a pity~" the waitress sighed, and weakly led the two guests to the seat by the window, and handed them the menu tucked under the elbow.

"Today's daily soup is cappuccino mushroom soup, please let me know if you need to order."

After finishing speaking, the girl walked to the side cabinet where the tableware was placed with a depressed look, and waited quietly for her call.

"Instructor Liana..." Opening the menu, Chios quickly scanned the dishes on it and asked:

"Why don't you tell her that you already have someone you like?"

Chios thought that the other party would say a few plain words, but he didn't expect...

Looking at the menu intently, the saint of guns who seemed to be worrying about what to eat today raised her head in a daze and asked:

"The one you like...who are you talking about?"

Chapter 160 Four? The Trajectory of the Spear Maiden

"The one you like...who are you talking about?"

Looking at Liana who seemed a little confused in front of him, Chios immediately understood that he asked a wrong question.

After only being together for three days, most of the youth's impression of the Saint of the Gun comes from the appearance presented in the game works.However, they neglected that the fate of the other party must have undergone a certain degree of change.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to come to the civilization protection front...

"Sorry, Instructor Liana..." Without getting away with it, Chios immediately apologized for his previous rash question:

"Based on established impressions, I didn't consider the change in your fate for a while, and said some boring things."

Through the young man's words, Liana immediately understood the meaning of the question just now, but she didn't show any displeasure or helplessness.

"I understand, don't take it to heart..." She shook her head lightly to show that she didn't mind, and then, a sincere and elegant smile appeared on her face.

"After all, you and I have known each other for too short a time. When facing plot characters like us, it is actually quite normal to have some preconceived cognitions..."

While speaking, the Maiden of the Gun continued to lower her head to browse the menu.

"Would you like to simply listen to my story during the meal break here?" From an angle that the young man could not see, her sky blue eyes flashed a trace of nostalgia.

"A trajectory that might be slightly different from the Maiden of the Gun you know...Lianna Sandrot."

Hearing this, although Chios maintained a gentle smile on the surface, he couldn't help being surprised in his heart.

I didn't expect the other party to be so open-minded that he was willing to talk about his past with someone who had only been her student for three days...

"It's my honor." While answering, Chios shook the wine list with one hand.

"However, I want to finish ordering the table wine first, and then listen to your story, instructor."

"Exactly, I thought so too."

The blond woman raised her head, obviously having chosen today's lunch.

The waitress was called, and the two quickly explained the meals they had chosen.

Chios, who has a wine certificate IV, also ordered a bottle of 2012 Leflaive & Associes first-level white wine and 2006 Mazis-Chambertin special red wine.

Before entering the restaurant, he never imagined that he could see the wines of his own world here.

As a result, there are not only wines, but also a rich selection of winery brands, and the prices are not expensive. The two wines are 70 and 120 civil currency respectively.

During the trial mission, Chios received a total of 13000 civilized coins, so there was no need to save this money.

After writing down the needs of the two, the waiter took away the decorative plates on the table of the two, spread the napkins for them in a polite and thoughtful manner, and then turned and walked to the kitchen.

The restaurant is very efficient. After opening the bottle of white wine and giving Chios a sip to confirm that the taste is ok, the waiter poured a third of the glass for each of them, and then inserted the bottle into the ice bucket covered with a white cloth In the middle, let the wine slowly wake up.

Two three-course appetizers served on gold-rimmed ceramic plates: pea soup, smoked salmon rolls with olive oil and red wine vinegar, and tarragon marinated scallops.

I don't know if it's because of vertigo or what, it seems that when Chios was serving the food, he saw instructor Liana's eyes sparkle.

All happened in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared without a trace.

Ding...

Two glass wine glasses filled with light golden liquor collided, making a crisp sound.

"I met the leader during the Battle of the Lions..."

Taking a small sip of the white wine with delicately balanced acidity, Liana slowly told her story...
