Section 207: The Eve
Maybe he has encountered all the evil things that may be encountered along the way, and the road to the royal capital is safe. Every day, Marin will communicate with Jiaxi and Zem Mei from the Mercy Church through telegrams in the car.
Contacted by Yael, the former was responsible for confirming Marin's location to prevent the painting from approaching Marin again. According to him, the contents of the painting this time were some wolf-type spirits, which were obviously the gray direwolves of the Western Province.
This is what the church's apprentices kill the most every year.
The latter would discuss the plot of the novel with Marin from time to time - Zem is a loyal reader of Sherlock Holmes, and when he confirmed from Jiaxi that Marin was the author, his face was so angry - because he felt that Marin was so
How could a young child write such a work? He must be deceiving the world and stealing his reputation.
Then Marin moved out of Faye, and his princess testified that she was Marin's central provincial custom introducer, and pointed out several clues she had buried in the novel before - this time they all pointed directly to Marin
After the author and her collaborator, Zem, were confirmed, they immediately became Marin's loyal readers.
After hearing from Ma Lin that the detective story had been completed and that the last two volumes would be handed over to the National Publishing House after returning home, the young man sighed and also became somewhat curious about Ma Lin's subsequent novels.
After discussing with Faye, Marin decided to keep the Alien book in his own hands - because the content of this book is too obscure for mortals in this world, the plot is also horror-oriented, and the style is
Science fiction, in order to avoid certain accidents, it is better not to write it.
As for what the accident was... Marin felt that the magic carpet explained everything very well.
In addition, Marin couldn't think of what to write for the moment. After discussing it with Faye, he decided to take a break from writing for a while.
Anyway, Marin has become a god with one book. As a pioneer in the world of detective novels, Marin feels that his dream has come true. The next step is to wait for death as a royalty worm.
In addition, Marin can only practice swordsmanship while waiting - a certain great swordsman is still waiting for him to take his head.
After watching Marin's self-study, instructor Emmet Selke volunteered to come and spar with Marin.
At first, Marin thought that this middle-aged man seemed powerless and did not look like a swordsman. When Marin used a spell to lower his power, he realized that this man was indeed good at swordsmanship.
.
Practicing with instructor Emmet Selke, Marin felt that he was improving every day. When asked about how he had never used this thing before, not even when he taught children how to use a big sword at Carter Castle, Emmet Selke
Instructor Ke gave an answer that sounded regretful.
"Times have changed, and muskets are becoming the mainstream on the battlefield. An apprentice who has received twenty hours of shooting training can easily kill a bugbear holding a big sword at a distance of more than a hundred yards. These barbarians have since withdrawn from our relationship.
The stage of human competition, Marin, think about it, it took me fifteen years, starting from the age of five, to use a sword, but in the end, this era told me that the big sword is outdated."
When Instructor Emmet Selk said this, his expression was very lonely: "I still don't have the confidence to block bullets with a big sword. How can I teach the skills of my three-legged cat to the children? They will spend two
Learning to shoot in ten hours can suppress a child who has been practicing the sword for more than a year...Marin, why are you practicing the sword?"
Marin didn't know what to say, because Mentor Amet Selke didn't know about it. Marin didn't know how he would understand this matter, let alone whether he would tell this matter.
Some secrets should be kept secret.
Instructor Emmet Selke also seemed to see the doubts in Marin's heart. He smiled: "It doesn't matter. If you don't say anything, just pretend I didn't ask. I like a genius like you very much. In the past three days,
Over time, you have learned a lot of steps and accumulated a lot of experience. Remember, the big sword is not a mace or an ax in your hand, it is a sword, and you are the swordsman. Remember one thing - swordsman
Like a yellow sharp edge, a big sword like a poisonous needle."
After another five days, Instructor Emmet Selke announced that Marin had basically mastered all the techniques.
"What you lack now is to use it. Considering that after arriving in the royal capital, you will basically have no chance to use the skill of the great sword, I recommend you to go to the fighting arena." Instructor Emmet Selk gave Marin a pointer.
road.
Marin was a little curious: "Is it the kind of indiscriminate battle held by the underground dark guild, the kind that doesn't matter life or death?"
"What are you thinking about? How can the underground dark guild exist in the royal capital? These shabby settlements can only exist in the countryside." Instructor Emmet Selke smiled and overturned Marin's conjecture: "The arena is for the royal family and the nobles.
Jointly organized with the military, there are usually competitions every month, and sometimes big nobles will come to the stage for exhibition matches. They are all cold weapon battles. After fighting with you for so long, I am planning to go to the royal capital this time.
Let’s play, will you come?”
Of course, Marin has no problem. Under the explanation of instructor Emmet Selk, I heard that the fighting arena uses unedged training swords and has a resident therapist. Of course, Marin thinks it is feasible.
I heard that those great nobles were all very powerful warriors. When he thought that he could go all out, Marin felt that he finally had a place where he could test his strength.
After getting off the roof of the car, Marin put the training sword on the shelf, stretched his tendons, took the towel thrown by Cross, then took off his training clothes and got into the bathroom behind the car.
After taking a shower and putting on new clothes, Marin walked out and took a look at the carriage: "Where are Faye and the others?"
"There was a sorority party with their classmates in the front car, and she asked us to go there too." When Cross said this, she seemed a little unhappy: "Marin, I feel... I feel like an outsider.
, am I suitable in the past?"
Marin smiled and stretched out his hand to hold the rabbit girl's hand: "Of course it's suitable, you are my family."
The rabbit girl didn't react at the first time. When she came to her senses, the rabbit girl immediately blushed and talked incoherently for a while. Finally, she was led by Marin to the front car -
—Bill, Jack and Rose have already started their apprenticeships. They were enrolled in the first grade by their mentor Emmet Selke. Of course, it was not their turn to play during the competition.
So Marin took the rabbit girl into the party car without any burden.
"Hi, Marin, you're here! I watched all the recent exercises on the roof of the car with instructor Emmet Selke."
As soon as he entered the door, Marin heard Logan's loud voice. Marin smiled at this: "You have many skills and you are not overwhelmed. After all, you seem to be the initiator, right?"
"Of course, I am the most well-connected among the Harvest Goddess's apprentices. Speaking of which, Marin, we still have a week before we arrive in the royal capital, and someone has already contacted me and asked you to help me."
"I don't think my reputation can spread that far yet." Marin frowned.
"The other party said it was introduced by Sydel van Renard." Rogan said.
"Sidel van Renard...who is this?" Marin thought for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to recognize him.
But Cross reached out and used her cute little paws to tug Marin's ears: "My cousin, you forgot."
"Ah! I remembered it!" Marin really couldn't remember the name of the person, but when he mentioned Cross's cousin, Marin thought of the abandoned factory and his own guests: "So it's him.
.”
"Yes, in addition to him, there is Sheldon Brees. The two of them have arrived at the Central Bank a long time ago. They were the ones who blew your record out, so someone should want to test the waters. After all, it is only
I have heard of your name, but I have never seen you." At this point, Logan smiled and raised his eyebrows: "2,000 yuan, enter the underground ancient city of the royal capital, do you want to see it?"
"Which floor?" Faye walked over. When she spoke, Marin became very curious: "What floor is there a problem with?"
"Yes, the first floor is safe and is usually open to tourists. The second floor begins to have spirits, but they are easier to deal with. It is also where the various academies and churches in the royal capital bring blood to apprentices. The third floor begins to have some
It’s dangerous. I think if they want to test the waters, they should go to the fourth floor, where there will be deadly monsters. If it’s the fourth floor, I don’t think the 2,000 yuan is worth it.”
"It's okay, just think of it as seeing another side of the royal capital." Marin smiled and comforted Faye: "Besides, since it is their trial, it is impossible for their mentor to give them a mission that requires them to die."
"I think so too, so why don't you let those bumpkins from the royal capital learn a lot, Marin." Logan asked with a smile.
"No problem, go ahead and tell them to prepare the money." After Marin finished speaking, he turned to comfort Faye. Although the girl was angry, she finally chose to forgive under Marin's playful smile: "Okay, okay.
, but I can’t accompany you this time, I want to go home once, after all, I haven’t been back to that home for many years.”
"No one will come to compete with me this time." Marin asked with a smile. Of course he knew where Faye's home was.
"Who knows, maybe they have only heard of Marin's name, but have never seen Marin's people. Maybe some of them will be afraid of others." The girl replied seriously.
To this, Marin also replied with a shy face: "Then I can only ask them to meet at the duel."
"Before you do this, I think I should invest in the funeral service industry in the royal capital first, because I think as long as Marin and you start dueling, this business will definitely be popular for a while." Logan said with a laugh,
His joke was echoed by many apprentices.
