Two hours later.

"Watch your step!"

"Keep breathing!"

"The key to the 'Iron Body' pose is at the feet. The moment you are attacked, adjust the distance between your legs and release your strength!"

"If you don't want to die, just raise your shield towards the enemy!"

Jinni's clear voice sounded, followed by merciless slashes!

Thales gritted his teeth and waved the sword in his right hand to rotate his body. The blood vessels in his left arm were dilated. He struggled to lift the disproportionately heavy wooden shield with his shoulder strength. His right leg was slightly bent, preparing to slide according to the force.

Open to cushion the blow.

"boom!"

Gilbert, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, gently closed his eyes.

After Jinni hit the sword on the lower side of the shield, Thales lost his balance for the twenty-fifth time and fell into the sand again. This time, he was exhausted and could no longer lift the sword in his hand.

Shielded.

Damn, damn it.

The time traveler gasped for breath and tried to raise his head and chest, but the heavy shield pressed hard on his left chest, preventing him from struggling up from the ground.

This aunt and father's lover clearly wielded the sword for two hours continuously, but why, why was there no sign of physical exertion?

"The swordsmanship used by the Northland military originated from the ancient Chauvin era more than 3,000 years ago, and took shape in the period of human kings before the ancient empire." As if he had read Thales's mind, Gilbert's voice spoke.

There was a sound in the clearing, "According to records, the war between the ancient elves and the dragons was in full swing at that time, and the human kings of the North encountered the invasion of the ancient orcs in the north."

"This set of swordsmanship is designed to fight ancient orcs and even dragons - those terrifying opponents whose strength and size far exceed that of humans." Gilbert looked at Thales on the ground seriously and said softly: "This

It is the oldest fighting swordsmanship in human history. It was under this huge disadvantage, in an almost desperate battle, in an almost fatal resistance and an almost suicidal charge, that the first batch of knights awakened their extraordinary power, that is,

What is now called the 'Power of Ending' has become the earliest super level in human history."

A flash of light flashed in Gilbert's eyes: "Ms. Jinnie is the best among the super-level. Not to mention the special finishing power she possesses, just her observation ability, explosive power, sense of balance, and almost all physical qualities.

They are all different from you. The gap between her and you is just like the strong and brave ancient orcs and weak humans back then."

Thales was surprised and embarrassed - to be honest, he still didn't know how to get along with his father's "lover" - he looked at Jini, and saw the other person moving her wrists with a relaxed expression, as if she was interested in Ji Ni.

Albert's compliments were indifferent.

"With the further use and accumulation of extraordinary power, this power will become stronger and stronger. Knights began to learn to harness these huge and profound powers, control those unfathomable powers, and achieve the state of sending and receiving freely. Compared with

At the super level, these further knights are almost unfathomable in strength, and their skills are already exquisite. They begin to understand the essence of power and combat, change as they please, without being rigid, and can achieve maximum efficiency and minimum effort.

The loss will end a battle," Gilbert took a step forward and nodded to somewhere in the void without leaving any trace:

"This is the ultimate state, the strongest person who has surpassed the limit of strength."

Thales stared blankly at the sky, thinking of Asheida's ability to control the air at will, and Yoder's ghostly movement skills.

"Mortal level, super level, extreme level, this power classification system has been widely spread to all races and places after humans became strong." Gilbert looked at the sky and nodded towards Jinnie: "Ancient orcs, ancient elves

, even people with superpowers and... have begun to use this classification."

"And all of this stems from the military swordsmanship of the Ancient North, and from the courage to fight against the orcs and dragons in order to survive." Gilbert's words made Thales stunned.

"Today, the threat of the ancient orcs is no longer, the dragons have disappeared from the world, and the swordsmanship used by the Northland military is no longer spread. Even in the army of the Kingdom of Exeter, who is proud of the blood of the Northland and occupies the old land of the ancient Northland, this

The set of swordsmanship has also been abandoned long ago. Now, the only places that have a complete inheritance of military swordsmanship in the North are the Kingdom of Stars and the Tower of the End."

"Miss Jinni is one of the few people who is good at this. Mr. Thales, please respect this swordsmanship that once saved our ancestors and practice it unremittingly."

Swordsmanship against orcs and dragons?

No wonder - Thales, who came back to his senses, thought depressedly: Why do I feel like grandson when I swing the sword?

Recalling how I raised my shield and swung my sword like a fool (being led by the sword to swing), moving my steps (being pulled along by the inertia of the shield), and sparring with Ji Ni (Ji Ni trained him), I felt that I was being treated like a grandson.

After beating him for two hours, Thales sighed wordlessly and fell back with regret on his face.

"Your previous wound has shown signs of tearing. That's it for this morning." Jinni looked at the sun in the sky, dropped her sword and shield, and said with her usual expression.

"These three defensive styles of the Northland Military Swordsmanship are your homework for this week. As for riding a horse..." Jinni looked at the pony next to the horse post, which was enjoying itself with butterflies, and then looked at Li Li.

Thales, who freed his left arm from the wooden shield, also sighed, shook his head and said: "Go take a bath and have lunch. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Gilbert has prepared indoor classes for you.

.”

Afternoon classes?

God, do you still have to study late at night?

Thales, who was used to the irregular life of a smoker and alcoholic monk, exhaled again, feeling the soreness all over his body, and resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.

I saw the most noble bastard in the Kingdom of Stars, helplessly and laboriously taking off his equipment (pulling his left arm out of the shield), and limping into the Mindis Hall.

He only had an hour to take a shower and eat.

"I have to say, this is really good understanding and comprehension. In just two hours, he has already initially understood the basic spirit of this swordsmanship." Gilbert watched Thales leave, broke the silence, and nodded softly.

Said: "When I was his age, I relied on my body to practice swordsmanship, but this kid uses his brain to practice swordsmanship."

"Compared to this - don't tell me that your observation skills are so poor that you can't notice anything strange about him!" Jinni watched Thales' back disappear, and her face suddenly became serious.

Bert spoke while looking at the air around him suspiciously: "I still remember that even the dust a hundred meters away, that cursed mask can be seen clearly."

"Stop looking, Yodel is not nearby." Looking at Jinnie's nervous behavior, Gilbert put his hands behind his back and said steadily: "Ever since Thales was unexpectedly abducted by the vampires, he has been

, never leaving."

"Also, we have all noticed," Gilbert said, frowning slightly: "The child is only about 7 years old. He suffered a serious injury two days ago, but in two days, he was almost healed.

Now...I practiced swordsmanship under the sun for two hours without any serious problems...No wonder the bloodline lamp that detects blood has not responded for seven years..."

"This kind of physique can no longer be described as 'different from ordinary people'. It is simply..." He sighed and tried not to think about another possibility of this matter: "The Canxing family is indeed the most inherited in the world.

The longest imperial family legacy.”

Jinni was also silent for a while, silently saying nothing more.

The palace lady bent down and patted the dust on her boots: "Speaking of vampires, why did you reveal Thales's identity to them and invite them to stay in the Mindis Hall? Do you really believe that Thales and the Grand Duke in distress?

Agreement? After all, he is only 7 years old... And you know very well that vampires have killed our people, so we can't trust them... And for vampires, we are a sudden accident, and they can't trust us."

"You've already said the answer." Gilbert's eyes shone brightly, thinking of the old vampire with a lifeless face but full of wisdom: "Because of the lack of trust in each other, they fear each other and even threaten each other."

"That's why we have to use our respective secrets and common interests to bind each other. This is a tacit understanding and understanding in diplomacy, which is different from a clear investigation of a case."

"Hmph, you're pretending to be mysterious." Jinni seemed to be reminded of bad memories. As she left the training ground and walked into the hall, she said unhappily: "Another Morat."

"Thank you for your compliment, dear Ms. Jinnie," Gilbert raised his hat and said with a perfect smile: "I am honored to be ranked with the head of the kingdom's secret department."

Also - Gilbert didn't pay attention to Jinni's rude disregard, he said silently in his heart - although the child is only 7 years old, in terms of perspective, he is definitely no worse than the several hundred years old female grand duchess.

————————————————————————

In fact, half an hour later, when Gilbert and Jinny came to Thales's study at the same time, Thales, who had just taken a bath and was having a meal, was looking at the expressionless man in front of him with a frown.

Little girl with red eyes.

Her followers, Eastlen and Laurana, were facing off with the Terminator Swordsmen guards who had surrounded Thales with evil eyes.

"Stand back, vampire," a swordsman guard who looked like a leader glared angrily from behind his helmet and said in a bad tone, "You are not welcome here."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't like you that much, short-lived ones," Eastlund said without hesitation, which made the guards even more unhappy. "Remember? I killed eight guys like you yesterday." He sarcastically said.

Rather provocatively.

Frowning, Thales took a bite of the carefully seasoned beef short ribs from the fork in his hand. He was moved and admired by the deliciousness that he had not tasted since time travel, while carefully avoiding the fat baby opposite him.

Girl, her eyes are obviously wrong.

It's a pity that this kind of taste can't be compared to the dog meat that Yara and I ate together.

Thales looked at the situation in front of him and sighed: What a headache.

"You won't have that chance again, you despicable mouse hiding in a vase," the swordsman leader's tone dropped to freezing point, and the specially equipped silver sword at his waist was unsheathed for a foot: "Try taking a step forward? I'm very tired.

I'd love to avenge my companions - or I'll just open the curtains and let you have some sunshine."

So the handsome man with blond hair looked unhappy and planned to take a step forward.

"Don't be nervous, boys." Laurana took her angry cousin back at the right time. Although she was smiling, her words were serious and serious: "Servants, stand down, your master has an agreement with our master.

.”

Looking at the Terminator Swordsmen in front of her who wanted to kill them, Laurana's smiling face became brighter: "This is what your master said - we are allies now, shouldn't we forget the grudges of the past? It's just eight lives...

"

The Terminator Swordsmen became increasingly unstable, and some even gritted their teeth behind their helmets.

A cousin is a cousin - Eastlund thought to himself, especially when I saw the guards who were so angry but could only restrain themselves - it really made me feel happy.

Ji Ni frowned outside the room and was about to walk in, but Gilbert grabbed her arm. The gray-haired former diplomat shook his head with a mysterious expression and pointed behind the guard.

A little master on a chair.
