Before the sun sets.

A group of light knights left the sacred lake.

Just like an elk that was drinking water by the lake and found that the lion resting next to it suddenly left, almost all the mercenaries had a look of relief on their faces.

"Brother, it seems that is really Sissoo's body," Catfish said to his eldest brother, Grass Carp, "I just heard that boy mention an astrologer! As we all know, apart from priests, only astrologers have prophecies.

The ability, they must have predicted the location of Sissoo's body, and then sent people here to find it! I guess they are going to the royal capital to receive the reward now. Alas, this group of light knights, although they look very good

He looks polite, but he still behaves a bit unreasonably. Sissoo's bounty is probably a hundred thousand gold coins, but the other party only gave us a ring." When Grass Carp was talking to Vino Acker,

Catfish kept following them, but he could hear the conversation between the two people clearly.

"This is a magic crystal ring," Grass Fish threw the ring to his younger brother, "Don't lose it, this is also a token. We can use this token to borrow the power of the royal family!"

Grass carp played with the magic crystal ring, a gold ring with a soybean-sized magic crystal inlaid in the middle. "The royal family? That old guy the king has given birth to too many princes. Although the boy's surname is also Yakr, I think he

He cannot be considered a direct descendant. If not, how could he be sent to the north to do the mission?"

"Currently, the Bright Knight only has a strength of five hundred people. These five hundred people guard the king day and night, never leaving," Grass Fish said.

"I know that. The Bright Knight has not appeared on the mainland for a long time." Catfish said casually.

"But today, the king assigned one hundred light knights to be commanded by Vino Yakr. What does this mean?"

"...This shows that the king is training a successor!" Catfish almost blurted out! Suddenly feeling the blood rushing to his face, he exclaimed, "Oh! Wow! It's so exciting! So, the one who just spoke to us is the future

The king?! We got the friendship of the future king?!”

"What future king?" At this time, the annoying guy came over from the side, his whole body was still wet, "Tell me, what did that boy say to you? Is he the famous person next to the king? He also

Does your surname Yakeer also have a noble title?"

Of course, Catfish would not pay attention to the annoying person. He was playing with the magic crystal ring in his hand and completely regarded the annoying person around him as nothing.

The annoying ghost bothered Grass Carp like a fly, but Grass Carp had no choice but to reveal some information to him: "His name is Vino Yakr, and he is indeed a great nobleman."

"Great noble? How big is it?"

"The sky is so big."

…

While Frank was telling Ryder the skills of using the battle ax, he was paying attention to the movements of the Bright Knights not far away. When he saw all the Bright Knights leaving, he began to focus all his attention on Ryder.

"Yes! Take a big step forward! Rely on the inertia of your body to hit the ax!" He said seriously, "You must clearly remember your attack range! Don't let the enemy get within one step of you! Once the opponent walks in

The attack range is as high as lightning, and there must be no spare power!"

"Brother Frank, I have hacked at least 10,000 times today. I feel like my forearm is going to explode!"

In fact, Frank had already started coaching Ryder since the morning when he was heading towards the Sacred Lake. Two hours ago, Ryder was still taking an ax every five steps. At this time, he had practiced for almost half of the time.

For an hour, he really couldn't lift his arms.

"Take a break." Frank said, "Do this for a month and you will be considered a beginner."

"Repeat this action every day?" Ryder scratched his head, "Fortunately, I am a carpenter and I often chop wood to exercise, otherwise I would never have persisted.

"

"Well, you have certain basic skills." Frank walked along the lake, and Ryder followed behind, "But don't be proud, it is actually difficult to practice axe. After a month, you should be able to master it.

The top warriors fought."

"Only this one action is needed?" Ryder was a little incredulous.

"Yes, in the first battle, if you didn't kill the enemy with one blow of the ax, you almost didn't kill the enemy with the second blow."

"Brother Frank, you can teach me body movements."

"This cannot be learned in a day. The most important thing is to block, followed by attack, and finally the movement. Of course, if you use a sword or knife, you can learn the movement while learning martial arts. But an ax is different.

There are many blocking techniques, and you can completely use blocking techniques instead of body skills."

So that's it, Ryder nodded thoughtfully.

The two people talked and walked back. "How are your injuries?" Frank said, looking at the one-eyed dragon at his feet.

"Uncle, one of my hands seems to have been broken by that guy called the annoying guy, and I can't move it at all! And my nose, look here, it's all swollen." The one-eyed dragon received rare attention, and it was annoying in front of him.

The ghost was not around, so he immediately made a small report, "Mercenary Master, please don't let that guy guard me. Find someone else. I really can't bear to be beaten again."

"Well, I can think about it," Frank was saying, having already untied the hemp rope on his body.

so good!

He couldn't help but care about himself and untied the rope on his body? Holding his sore shoulders, the one-eyed dragon stood up from the ground in doubt. The slug who was standing by and observing saw that the one-eyed dragon was liberated and immediately moved toward the crowded place.

Walked a few steps to the place.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" The one-eyed dragon's tone was full of surprise.

"Practice with him," Frank handed his ax to the one-eyed dragon. "If you can knock his ax off, I will consider replacing you with someone else."

So he wanted to be a sparring partner? One-eyed dragon looked at the black-faced man in front of him and was stunned for a moment. He secretly thought to himself, just sparring. At least the other party didn't plan to kill him in a short time. What else could he ask for?

?

"Ryder, I know you have no strength. Just do what I taught you today. It won't take much effort." Frank may not be a responsible leader, but he is definitely a responsible teacher. This lesson has just finished

Ryder immediately found him a sparring partner.

The slug hiding behind a tree obviously didn't understand what they were doing, so he just stood five steps away and observed.

I saw that his former boss got a new axe, and opposite him stood a guy with an axe.

The two people just looked at each other.

Finally, the one-eyed dragon couldn't hold it back, raised his ax and took a step forward. Then there was a "ding" sound, and the ax in his hand was knocked to the ground!

Slug was stunned. After walking together in the team for a long time, he knew of course that the black-faced man named Ryder seemed to be a novice mercenary. Not only was he like himself, he had no martial arts skills at all, he still looked stupid.

From morning to noon, he had been chopping the air with an axe. When he was just walking, he kept chopping. He was tired of repeating the same action, and some mercenaries even asked Boss Frank to give him some new tricks.

However, the other party seemed not to hear it at all and still went his own way.

However, what Slug didn't expect was that the one-eyed dragon was directly defeated by this novice mercenary's blow? This was too fast, he didn't even have time to blink!

"Very good, Ryder!" Frank praised. At first, he just wanted this guy to have a self-defense skill, but now it seems that the other guy has the talent to learn martial arts! Although the one-eyed dragon was seriously injured, he has three skills after all.

The consciousness of a super warrior! But the weapon was still knocked away by Ryder's sudden blow!

"This..." Ryder scratched his head and said, "I just knocked his ax away? I haven't had time to think about it!"

"That's it!" Frank threw the hemp rope to Slug, indicating to the other party to tie up Cyclops again, and then said to Ryder, "Boy, you have to remember that during the battle, no one will give you anything to think about.

Time, all actions are done subconsciously! Only in this way can you have a slight advantage in the battle! You performed very well just now. As soon as the opponent's ax entered your attack range, you hit him

Went out, you made a perfect prediction!"

At this time, Ryder suddenly had a deeper understanding of the ax in his hand. He understood why Frank didn't teach him any movement techniques. He could kill the enemy with one blow, so why should he learn any movement techniques?

If you attack with an ax, you will be extremely domineering!

This is the essence of an ax!

Ryder took a deep breath, and as if he was exhaling the fatigue of the day, he slowly exhaled all the turbid air in his body. "I understand a little bit," he nodded to Frank, "I will follow your instructions tomorrow.

Keep practicing as required.”

…

After searching around the sacred lake, I didn't see any signs of small animals. The nuisance really missed the woods where pheasants roamed the ground the day before.

After dark, the mercenaries who were searching nearby came back one after another. "Hey! Xiao Huangmao, what prey did you catch?" The annoying guy who came back empty-handed caught Xiao Huangmao's attention, "Let me see.

What's in the package? Bird eggs? Hey, don't leave, give me two! You uncivilized guy, you have so many but you don't give them to me!"

"Human shield! I told you that you were sent to the east and there is nothing there. You guys still don't believe it!"

"Where did you get the rabbit? Smiley Garou, you are really good! I'll book a leg! What? No? Well, then you can keep it for Boss Frank. By the way! Why hasn't Boss Frank come back yet?"

It was already late at night. According to the mercenaries' habits these days, they would disperse in all directions to look for Mr. Blue Hat's traces, catch some game on the way, and then return to the designated location at the designated time.

It's now half an hour after the designated time, and all the mercenaries have returned, except Frank, the boss. "Aren't we all in groups of two or three?" The annoying guy said doubtfully, "Why Frank?"

Did the boss leave alone?"

"He is also accompanied by that black-faced boy Ryder," Xiao Huangmao said, pointing to the south. "There is a forest three thousand meters away. They should go in that direction."

"There are woods around here? The woods are the favorite place for pheasants to stay," the annoying guy said, slapping his forehead, "Hell, these two guys must be running a small stove behind our backs. Alas, ever since there was a black-faced boy,

Boss Frank doesn’t love me anymore…”

...Three thousand meters away, on top of a big tree, Frank and Ryder were sitting there.

Even though the branches of this big tree were very thick, it could not bear the weight of the two big men.

There was a cracking sound, the branch suddenly broke, and two black figures swooped! They fell directly from the air four meters above!

"Ah~oh~~~ah~oh~~"

They fell and brayed.

oh!

wrong!

There is a real donkey braying!

From time to time, I saw a dark figure flashing behind the trees in the darkness.

"Follow it quickly!" Frank climbed up from the ground first.
Chapter completed!
