Scarlet Fortress, training square.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

The strong sound of breaking the wind sounded, and the cross sword pierced the wind again and again, leaving pieces of light and shadow in the air, and the blade of the sword was brightly reflected under the light of the beating brazier.

Heath in a swordsman uniform on the square was training in swordsmanship.

Although the focus has always been on the field of magic, the improvement in swordsmanship has not fallen behind over the years, and he will complete at least one training in swordsmanship and martial arts every day.

Thanks to his hard work, the improvement is remarkable:

"Strength 52.3, Agility 62.8, Constitution 48.6."

The three knight attributes have all reached about 50, especially the agility has reached more than 60. Now even without the help of spells, Hiss can have a speed equivalent to the [Blast] of the apprenticeship, which is really terrifying.

Soon after a sword dance ended, Heath retracted the cross sword into its scabbard.

At this moment, there was a burst of applause from outside the square.

"Clap clap clap!"

Heath turned his head and saw a middle-aged man standing on the side of the square. His whole body naturally showed a heroic aura. It was Robert, the commander of the Scarlet Fortress.

Heath saluted: "Commander Robert."

Robert said with a full-fledged smile: "Dance is good, this swordsmanship alone can at least rank in the top ten among the existing swordsmanship masters on the West Coast mainland."

Heath said humbly, "Thank you."

On one side of the square, there was a shelf of weapons, and Robert walked over and took down a cross sword from it.

He pulled out his sword energy and walked into the arena with the sword in his hand: "Let's compare."

Hiss raised his eyebrows: "Swordsmanship?"

Robert nodded: "Swordsmanship, according to the tradition of knights."

Heath did not refuse.

After greeting each other according to the etiquette of knights, the two sides each took a few dozen steps back in the square.

Stand still, Heath has my sword in both hands, with the blade at forty-five degrees upward,

Get your hands up.

Robert just stood there stupidly with a cross sword in one hand.

Heath raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency?"

The starting style is a crucial part of swordsmanship. A good starting style can give the knight an advantage at the beginning of the battle, and even directly determine the final outcome.

Robert laughed: "You can attack!"

Heath frowned, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

He was the champion of the dignified Arendt Tournament, the famous black-haired knight in the Kingdom of Sheeran, when was he seen clearly?

Robert saw Heath's displeasure, but he didn't correct it at all, but continued to provocatively add fuel to the fire: "What? Are you going to hatch your eggs there?"

Heath didn't deliberately control his emotions, and said arrogantly: "The last guy who spoke out in front of me has become the soul of my sword!"

Robert continued provocatively: "It's not a bad taste to defeat a third-rate swordsman, right?"

"You will pay for your arrogance!"

"Come on then!"

With an interim referee announcing the start.

"Boom!" A sound.

Heath disappeared in place, and the next second, he also appeared in front of Robert, and he raised the cross sword in his hand and slashed it down.

This sword, imposing like a rainbow, is like a lightning tearing the sky. It has achieved the ultimate speed of Hiss. He is also confident that this is already the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

However, in the next second, he realized that he was wrong, and it was so wrong!

The sword was approaching, and Robert finally moved.

He didn't see any special movements or moves. He seemed to be holding the cross sword in his hand and swiping the cross sword against Heath. The movements were so casual, like a child's play.

But it's such a casual sword, but I can only hear——

"Clang!" A voice.

A cross sword 'wu liu wu liu' flew into the sky, swirled and fell to the ground, and then with a 'cha', it was inserted obliquely on the ground.

In the square, Heath was empty-handed and his expression was dumbfounded.

Robert was still standing with the sword in his hand, as if he was on an outing.

He smiled and said, "How is it? A third-rate swordsman?"

Heath was excited.

But at the same time, he was also shocked.

"Can I try again?" he asked.

Robert nodded: "Yes."

Heath walked over to pick up the cross sword, and then attacked Robert with two more swords, but the outcome was the same. No matter what starting move he used or how he attacked, Robert would defeat it with a wave of his hand.

After the third attack, Robert said: "Just here, the gap is too big, no matter how many times you try it will be useless."

It sounded harsh, but Heath knew Robert was telling the truth.

He put away the cross sword, frowned and pondered.

After seeing it, Robert couldn't help but ask, "Are you curious about where you lost?"

Heath nodded.

This was something he couldn't understand. Everyone was a great knight. Although he couldn't see Robert's specific attributes, he could feel that Robert was not much stronger than him in terms of attributes, and he was basically on the same level.

In addition to the difference in strength, what surprised Hiss even more was the aspect of his moves.

You must know that in the past few years, he has occupied the system, and the swordsmanship obtained by the Hiss network is unknown, not to mention all over the western continent, but the swordsmanship of the dark sea of ​​trees has basically been mastered by him. Now he is definitely a swordsman. Master, everyone.

But just now he couldn't see what trick or sword way Robert used to defeat him.

It was as if he really just swung the sword at him casually, and then he was defeated, and the use of swordsmanship was not even considered.

Heath said sincerely: "Please enlighten me."

Robert nodded, and then explained: "You have no problem with the basics, your strength and speed are very good, especially your swordsmanship, you can see that you have a solid grasp of this aspect, and you should have learned a lot of swordsmanship. ."

After a pause, he continued: "The real gap between us is in the realm of swordsmanship."

Heath wondered: "The realm?"

Robert said: "Yes, the realm of swordsmanship, the understanding of swordsmanship."

Heath pricked up his ears and waited.

However, as if deliberately intriguing, Robert did not rush to explain, but suddenly asked: "Before this, I have a question I want to ask you."

Heath said: "Please speak."

Robert asked: "Are you going to use swordsmanship as the core of your magic and achieve rule magic?"

Heath wondered: "The core of magic? Rules magic?"

Robert said: "It seems that you don't know anything."

Heath: "..."

Robert continued, "What do you think is the biggest difference between us wizards and mortals?"

Heath thought for a while: "Powerful strength? Perverted constitution? Long lifespan?"

Robert said: "These are all you said."

After a pause, he continued: "But the most important thing is time."

"We have more time and longer lifespan than ordinary humans, and these times allow us to understand and recognize the world more, and integrate what we understand and recognize into our magic. Among them, establish a set of rules and fields that belong to us.”

Heath seemed to understand.

Robert then asked: "I don't know if you have noticed that many powerful wizards, especially the stigmata wizards, have expertise in a certain area other than magic, such as music, poetry, sculpture and the like."

Heath thought for a moment: "It seems really..."

Just as humans like to talk about idols, the stigmata level is one of the most talked about topics among apprentices in the Tower of Shadows, and each apprentice can basically know the past experience of stigmata wizards.

And just after being reminded by Robert, Heath thought for a while, and indeed as he said, many stigmata wizards, in addition to wizards, are also part-time musicians, craftsmen, painters and other side jobs, some even in history. Dingding famous.

For example, Babitos, the sorcerer of the Tower of Order and the ruler of the West Continent, besides the sorcerer, is also one of the most outstanding painters in the West Continent. His paintings in the human world can almost be said to be invaluable.

Robert continued: "Why do you think these wizards waste time and energy learning all this mess?"

Heath was stunned.

Robert this question really stopped it, why? hobby? Too much time and boredom to pass the time? Do you need a reason to learn something?

Heath shook his head: "I don't know."

He never thought about this question.

Robert said: "This is related to the core of the spell."

"We all know, what is magic? It's nothing more than arranging and combining a group of energy particles according to specific rules and laws to form powerful energy, calling for wind and rain, immortality, and so on."

He asked, "So where do these rules and laws come from?"

Heath Road: "From the observation of nature."

It is recorded in the book that the original wizards observed nature, observed the burning of flames to simulate fire spells, and observed the fall of lightning to simulate lightning spells.

Robert praised: "Yes, the basics are very solid."

After a pause, he continued to explain: "Yes, the wizard's spells are officially derived from the understanding and simulation of natural rules."

"But the rules of nature don't stop there."

He slashed forward with a sword, and the space twisted for a while, as if the entire space was directly cut open.

Heath's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.

Because he clearly felt that there were elemental fluctuations when Robert swung this sword just now. In other words, this sword was not swordsmanship, but magic!

Robert continued to explain: "The swordsmanship of slaying and killing the enemy is a rule, the music that is pleasant to listen to is also a rule, and the painting that is pleasing to the eye is also a rule."

"We can simulate wind, we can simulate rain, so why can't we simulate swordsmanship? We can't simulate music?"

Heath was taken aback.

Robert said: "Use magic to simulate swordsmanship and music, or use swordsmanship and music to release magic, combine the two into one, and build magic with it as the core."

"Such magic is also called regular magic by our wizards, and wizards who are used to such spells are also called regular wizards."
