The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

Sitting at the desk, she took out the training manual and began to read the next stage of specialty training. Two-weapon combat would not be able to become [advanced two-weapon combat] for a while. The ones suitable for training in the cabin should be...

Chapter 46 Conversation with Miss Thief

"Arnold, you can have dinner here... God of Thieves, why is your place so dark?!"

Selina, who wanted to invite Lorenno to dinner, opened the door only to see darkness.

Guang could see large and small copper coins placed vertically in the room.

"I'm practicing blind fighting."

Lorenno opened his emerald green eyes and got up, packed up the gold coins in the room and came to the thief.

"How can you practice blind fighting like this?"

"Place the copper coins in those positions and wait for the ship..." The ship shook for a while, and the two of them regained their composure. "Swaying like this can make the copper coins fall to the ground. I use my senses other than my eyes to find the coins and pick them up."

"Troublesome training." As a thief who grew up in a slum, she had already practiced blind fighting in a difficult living environment and year-round night activities, so she naturally didn't understand. "Anyway, are you going to eat?"

Lorenno shook his head and took out the dried meat pancake: "The boatman may have poisoned it. For safety reasons, it is better to eat the food you brought."

"This is a serious merchant ship...Forget it, what you said makes sense. If others are poisoned, they may get caught. I will also eat dry food. Also, after eating, come with me to play on the plywood?"

"Okay." The half-elf girl is not a cultivator. Of course, you need to see the scenery when traveling.

After sending Selina away, Lorenno's phobia of insufficient strength began to attack again, and he was dissatisfied with the expertise that took so long to learn.

"Sister, can't I quickly improve my strength and level?"

Lorenno asked casually. Unexpectedly, his sister actually came out and gave a piece of news that shocked the half-elf girl.

[Yes, do you still remember that I asked you to go to the arena? The purpose is to let you awaken your talent in the human aspect. 】

[Although I am not in charge of that part of the power, I can vaguely sense that you are similar to the bloodline of killing, war, and death. You are the type that gets stronger with each battle. Unfortunately, it is difficult to activate after staying in the Demon Suppression Zone for too long. I was blinded before. There was no movement at all even when the attacker was chasing after him. 】

"Why is this~?"

Lorenno threw a few punches to vent his frustration. Selina looked over and saw this scene and said, "What a weird training method again."

"Just a few punches," he said, holding the noodles and standing on the deck with Miss Thief. The water was currently calm, and the sailors were sitting and eating while the ship drifted down the river. Many people were watching the scenery on both sides of the river on the deck.

"Sometimes I really want to travel around like Lorenno."

Selina leaned against the railing with her arms supporting her chest. Selina suddenly sighed. Lorenno took a small bite of the dough and his eyes lit up: "Why don't you go? Miss Selina, let's form an adventure team."

"But unlike you, Arnold, I only need to think about finding my mother. There are many children in the slums of Cardinal City waiting for me to make money."

Selina blew the wind and began to tell her story to Lorenno. She also had an adventure when she was 16 years old. She did not return to Cardinal City until she was 18 years old. She knew that she could not change the chaos in the slums, but she could not influence it. In such a big environment, just do what you should do.

She began to steal and trade noble items and used the money to build small houses for orphans on the edge of slums and civilian areas. She found a poor noble widow to learn to write and teach the children, so that they would have more choices, at least Opportunity to move forward.

"Molly, Miss Alice, won't they help?"

"Alas," Selina sighed, "the temple will provide the poor with the lowest relief meal, and at the same time provide simple jobs to make them self-reliant. I am not familiar with the eldest lady of the Flann family, but there are indeed nobles who are giving alms, but you Do you know who are the people in the slums?" "Kind-hearted disabled people can live quietly in the slums relying on the food they get from work, but bankrupts, white-leaf-sucking waste, and self-destructive gangsters are the majority. Only the children have any hope of being rescued."

"Many people are unwilling to work, and many people are unable to leave their own camp. This kind of people will be born no matter what age or at any time. The moths at the bottom are just as disgusting as the moths at the top."

At this point, the thief paused and said in the most disgusting tone: "These are nothing, the most important thing is that there are three types of things, otherwise there wouldn't be so many slums on the Noir continent."

"Those three categories?"

"Evil gods, devils, and devils."

Lorenno understood that the world in the memory of the traveler had not been invaded by the three. It seemed that there were no real gods or were sleeping. In this case, wars and other things were caused by humans themselves, but in this universe , the biggest cause of conflict between various races on the continent is not only the race itself but also the three evil things Selina mentioned.

The gods of the time traveler's world are dead, and the ultimate goal of the cult is to make money. However, the gods of the cult here are real, and they are for faith and soul, so it is even more troublesome. Evil gods and devils will use real interests to corrupt those who do not believe in them. people, and then spread their faith to the bewitched, it is more troublesome than a church that talks big words in a world without demons. The demons burn, kill, loot and displace people, causing the world to be chaotic and orderless.

They are bigger enemies than the intelligent creatures on the continent of Noir themselves.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these boring things," Selena hugged Lorenno as she watched her deep in thought, "It's you, do you like Molly?"

"Of course I like her, but my favorability has dropped a lot because of certain things."

The gossiping Miss Thief waved her hand: "It's not the kind of like between friends, it's... that kind of like."

The half-elf girl ate the cake thoughtfully: "...I don't know, aren't these two the same?"

"Oh, so

You are the child~. "Selena shook her head helplessly, looking like she understood very well.

But Lorenno remembered something: "Miss Selena, you returned to Cardinal City at 18, how old are you now?"

The thief's face instantly darkened, and his anger surged: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, little brat."

After finishing his dinner obediently, Lorenno looked at the vast river and the jungle in the distance, and his mood fell into tranquility. Sure enough, he still likes to be more natural, and intrigues and the like are still very troublesome.

"Why do people always go to the stern of the boat?"

At this time, Selina noticed that many people were running towards the stern of the boat, with excitement on their faces. When she asked, she found out that two professionals were sparring. The thief who liked to join in the fun grabbed Lorenno, who was about to go back to practice, and headed over there. Run: "What are you practicing at this time? Of course it is to watch a fight. Maybe it can give us some inspiration."

The half-elf girl half pushed her to the stern of the boat, where a large group of people had gathered. She immediately cheered up when she saw the two professionals fighting, one was a monk and the other was a sword master.

Chapter 47 Occupation: The Origin of the Sword Master

three years ago--

"Pfft~."

Little Lorenno came up from the bath and swam into the arms of Ben, who was equally petite but still taller than her. He curiously touched a scar on his master's belly: "Master, where did this scar come from?" of."

The scar extends from the right side of the lower abdomen to the left shoulder. It is as if the entire person has been chopped off, and it should be easy for the mage to prevent himself from leaving scars.

Asking Lorenno to help wash the dark green hair that was longer than his body, Ben said lightly: "When I was young, I was accidentally attacked by the half-dead legendary sword master and cut all the defensive spells in half. I specially left this The scar is a warning to myself not to make similar mistakes again, tsk, it could have been easily solved."

Monk, this profession is spread from the East and represents the ultimate physical form. Although some monks can also use weapons, most of them use their bare hands as a magic weapon. The past of the sword master is a bit complicated, Lorenno After learning that Ben had been stabbed while fully armed, he checked the Juggernaut's information out of curiosity.

The most primitive swordsman master is a very weak profession (ps: it seems that the original versions of dnd1 to 5 are all?). He is just a master who is proficient in using weapons to attack. Wearing any armor will prevent the professional of this profession from exerting his strength. Even if it reaches legend, it is still very weak, unable to mobilize energy, and has no special professional expertise, which leads to the downfall and loneliness of this profession. It can be completely regarded as an alternative warrior profession, even weaker than a single warrior.

But until the monks appeared, he changed everything. The physical strength and potential they showed when they came from the east made many professionals come in an endless stream, wanting to learn the expertise and spell-like abilities they brought to complete their own. careers, or become them.

The master of swordsmanship was also among them. He obtained "qi" (ki) from the monk and developed [Qi Lifting Slash] on his own. The process has not been verified, but there is a legend that says this:

[There is such a sinful child of a sorcerer noble. He was poisoned in his mother's womb. After birth, he was weak in body and soul, even lame in his legs. He was unable to do anything. Finally, under the deliberate guidance of his stepmother, he became a swordsman with no future. His father was extremely disappointed with him. Under the instigation of his stepmother and half-brother, this high-level professional who could only compete with mid-level professionals was removed from the family. When he left, his brother told him the truth... He and his stepmother did all this. 】

[The angry and confused unknown swordsman traveled to most of the corners of the continent, and still achieved nothing in his middle age. Just when he thought that revenge was hopeless and confused, one day, a merchant ship from the east anchored at the port of a coastal city to attract his attention. Soon a strange-looking bald professional came down from above and went around begging for food. Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, the unknown swordsman looked pitiful and asked him to sit down and have something to eat. The bald professional ate the food and smiled and said he would repay him. . 】

[He didn't pay attention at first, and left the city for a while after bidding farewell to the bald man. When he came to the city again, there were many powerful professionals, and then he realized that he was hosting a powerful professional from the east. , the professional name is - monk, the professional name is - Shi. 】

[The nameless swordsmanship master relied on this relationship to bypass a large number of legendary professionals and visited the legendary monk from the east late at night. The nameless swordsman asked urgently: "Master, is there anything I can learn? ?”]

[Shi stretched out his jade-like warm hands to observe his tendons and muscles, and finally sighed and shook his head: "I'm sorry, my friend, your innate shortcomings make you weak in body and soul. I can't teach you anything." 】

[The news that was like a bolt from the blue made him cry bitterly. Shi couldn't bear it. He put his hand on his palm. A warm energy nourished the unknown swordsman's internal organs. He raised his head in surprise. Emitting energy that is neither magic nor faith. 】

["What is this? How do I learn it?" the unknown swordsman master asked urgently. 】

[Shi shook his head: "This is the power that monks can only obtain. The energy born from the will of the body. Do you want to learn it?"]

【"think!"】

["But I can't teach you," Shi Ying said with real eyes.

The god looked at him and said, "You are my first Western friend, and I will not lie to you. So far, only monks and Eastern professionals who start learning from the moment they become professionals can give birth to this kind of power."]

["If you really want to learn, go to the East," the legendary monk said, pointing to the sea, "Go there to find your possibilities and hopes."]

[The unknown swordsman did not hesitate to embark on the ship to the east. He had nothing left and would never be afraid of death. 】

[The younger brother who became the head of the family shook his head in disdain after hearing the news, and shared it with his parents and children as an anecdote, making them laugh - how could the master of swordsmanship fight against the noble sorcerer? 】

[Many, many years later, my younger brother, who was already a legendary warlock, was holding his 60th family birthday party at home. All the children of the warlock family had returned home to celebrate this. Just as he wanted to speak, he heard a clang from the door. Came from the corner, an old man holding a sword stood up in the corner, looking at his younger brother with bright eyes. 】

【Who is this?A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, and he soon remembered and laughed. Yes, this is his brother. Look at how old he has become, but the warlock himself is still so young due to his bloodline. . 】

["My dear brother, why did you come to my birthday party?"]

【"Come and eradicate this evil family."】

[The swordsman master’s serious answer made all the family members laugh. My father couldn’t help but stand up and scold: “That’s enough, get out of here quickly.”]

[The swordsman master walked towards his brother as if he was deaf. Although he was very disdainful, the legendary warlock still protected himself with spells and admired how his crippled brother killed him. He hoped that this clown would add more fun to his banquet. 】

[But the unknown swordsman only took four steps. 】

[The first step is to take a deep breath. 】

[The second step is to rush to the warlock. 】

[The third step is to swing the sword. 】

[The fourth step, the warlock’s head flies high into the air. 】

[The legendary warlock still didn’t understand what was going on. His body and soul were sucked into the space crack, and he didn’t even have a chance to resurrect with a 9-level spell. 】

[Three minutes later, the nearby nobles who were watching the excitement were waiting for their brother to release the news. They saw their brother covered in blood walking out of the house. They entered the Warlock's family in disbelief, but found that there was no body inside, only blood stains and countless... A rift in space destroyed the family of three legendary warlocks. 】

[On this day, the unknown swordsmanship master who had killed his whole family limped to the smiling Shi. He was surrounded by people. They were curious about how the weak swordsmanship master managed to massacre the warlock family. He smiled and looked at Shi Shi as if they were equals: "I understand."]

["What did you understand?" Shi Tingyin asked with a smile. 】

[The unknown sword master said something in the Eastern language. He said this: "I understand Qi. I am no longer a sword master. I am... a sword master." (I understand 'ki',I' m not Blade master, I'm Blade master. )]

Although it is just an anecdote, I don’t know when the sword master and the sword master have the same name, but there is an insurmountable gap between the two. The sword master quickly rises because it is the ability to cut off the dimensional lock and the sword master. A profession that destroys the mage's defensive spells.

As time goes by, Juggernaut has even developed into a sub-professional of each profession. The basic profession can also be Juggernaut, the magic swordsman can be Juggernaut (Kingmaker), and the warrior can be Juggernaut (Baldur's Gate). etc.

Its powerful attacks make casters love and hate this profession, because casters who work as sword masters will have certain defenses and extremely terrifying attacks, but they are also vulnerable.

The monk and the sword master have also formed an indissoluble bond. They are teachers, friends and enemies, both trying to prove that they can go further and become stronger.

-

ps: Since the differences between different versions of the Juggernaut profession are large, this book is integrated and organized to give an origin of the profession.

Chapter 48 The Monk and the Sword Master

"Miss Selina, can you tell what kind of strength they have?"

The monk and sword master in front of them stood still. The sharp aura made the onlookers retreat. Selina replied in a low voice: "The aura is at the peak of the middle level. The monk should be an ascetic. The sword master is the basic profession and is the sword master."

After the boat heaved with the river again, the sword master struck preemptively. In the blink of an eye, he swung his sword and slashed at the monk. The hair-bearing monk did not dodge and used his flesh palm to fight with the long sword. The sound of the collision of gold and iron began to fill the ears of the onlookers. , the monk's body will become harder and harder as his strength becomes stronger, and eventually it will even be comparable to various famous magic weapons.

The sword master was obviously not an easy person to deal with. The long sword began to cut wounds on the monk's fist. It was obvious that the strength of his weapon was superior. The monk closed his fist in the abdomen and punched out, which actually created a wave of air that caused the surrounding area to explode. The onlookers fell back, and the sword master who was directly hit flew a few meters to stand still. During this time, the monk took a deep breath, and his body began to glow with spiritual light.

[Zhen Qi Stationed Fist]!

The name of this specialty is Standing Fist, but it actually allows the monk to move Qi throughout his body to increase the hardness of the monk's body again, and approach the sword master with strange steps.

He pushed it towards his heart with his shoulders, leaving only white marks on his body with the long sword.

The sword master's body is very weak. If he is hit, he will definitely lose his fighting ability. Seeing that ordinary attacks are ineffective, the sword master keeps retreating and puts away his sword to prepare for attack. The escaping sharp momentum disappears, and the monk also Stopping, the two of them remained motionless. Only Lorenno began to sweat. She could feel the power hidden in the scabbard. Seeing this, Selena said: "Is your perception so strong? Even [drawing the knife to cut off the water]" You can find them all.”

Both of them were waiting to see whether the monk would move first or the sword master. After a long stalemate, the sword master took a step forward, revealing his hidden momentum, but the monk's pupils shrank. At this time, it was too late to retreat.

"Ah-"

【Qi Lifting Slash】! !

The effect of Qi Lifting is very simple, that is, it allows the sword master to ignore all negative factors and maintain his heyday. The middle-aged man with no characteristics took a deep breath of air, and the reduced momentum instantly rose to the peak, and he swung the sword to make the tip of the sword resemble a monk. He couldn't react quickly enough, and a drop of blood flowed down his neck!

The battle ended. This was just a daily sparring match between a monk and a sword master, so no one died. The long-haired monk wiped off the blood on his skin and bent down with his palms clasped together: "I lost, Master."

The Sword Master also saluted: "I have benefited a lot from this battle, thank you Master for your teaching."

"Is it over like this?" Lorenno muttered as he wiped the sweat off his head.

"Of course, the sword master's battle is so fast unless it's one-on-one," Selina said. "One careless move can kill you. Defense methods at the same level are like paper in front of them. Monks and those who focus on The defensive mages don’t dare to fight head-on, so you have to fight them head-on.”

"Can you beat it?"

Selena thought: "The situation of the sneak attack depends on whether the sword master can detect me. If not, I will be killed with one blow. If he is discovered, I will lose."

There was no excitement to join in and the sky was getting dark. They were about to walk to their room. Lorenno passed by a door that was ajar and heard a vague voice coming from inside: "The Federation...must...be necessary..."

The Commonwealth of Principalities again?

Lorenno and Selina passed by the room without looking away, and the person who spoke happened to open the ajar door. The merchant woman looked at the two people and the surroundings, looked away, and closed the door tightly.

Back in the room, the curiosity that arose in her heart was slapped away by the half-elf girl herself. Now she was too weak to care about such things. At the same time, she prayed that her "passive nature" would never happen again after arriving in Crystal City. .

Except for the Sword Saint and Monk competition, which added a bit of fun to the journey, the following days were a bit boring. There were no monster attacks or evil provocations. After two peaceful days, the two finally arrived at the port of Crystal City.
