He knew that the golden thigh of his third uncle was now secure. The current "Martial Arts Grand Master" in front of him, the former chief instructor of the Navy of the World Headquarters, was a walking arsenal of high-level skills.
According to Mr. Lei's thoughts, if he doesn't stay with this old man and learn all his secrets, he will never leave the territory of the Pure Mao Clan easily.
Oh no!
And the secret martial arts skills of the Pure Mao Tribe elders!
Now even if the old man dislikes it, he still plans to stay here shamelessly and live forever.
"Going to sea? I probably won't go to sea for the time being."
Raymond blinked, showed a flattering smile, and took the opportunity to say: "Third uncle, I am going to stay with you to learn martial arts..."
The third uncle looked strange: "You still want to learn martial arts? My unique qigong is not enough for you to study?"
Raymond said shamelessly: "You have too many skills to overcome."
"You can't bite off more than you can chew. Your skills are already impressive, but you're not perfect at all... Your path is about to go astray."
The third uncle shook his head and said bluntly: "What you lack now is definitely not martial arts. Those bells and whistles are not worth mentioning at all under the pressure of the realm. The top priority is that he needs to understand and hone his own 'sword intent' and find it." The direction to go in the future.”
"ah?"
Raymond frowned slightly as he listened and looked at the serious expression on the old man's face. Obviously this time it was not an excuse to be lazy.
At this time, the third uncle said again: "Only by engaging in a large number of actual life and death battles, gaining enough understanding of the way of swordsmanship, and having a solid foundation, will it be possible to go one step further in the future and understand "dominance". That is how extraordinary people can truly lead to the top masters." To reach the right path, instead of learning a few more advanced skills such as 'Six Naval Styles' and discarding the basics."
"Indeed."
Boss Enzo on the side also nodded and said to Raymond: "I saw you killing those pirates before, with such fancy methods as a hodgepodge of divine solutions, high-level sword skills, and flying skills. Knives, and what secrets of mental power...it looks like a circus sideshow. If you really want to kill someone, one sword is enough; if you can't kill, no matter how many tricks you use, it will be useless."
"..."
Raymond, who was originally complacent about his abilities, was criticized for being useless, so he could only hang his head and listen honestly. The guidance of two masters who stood at the top of the world's extraordinary beings was naturally much better than a novice like him who was just trying to figure it out. times.
The third uncle said again: "Didn't you always say that you can't understand the 'Sword Intent'? In fact, it's not that you are innately unable to understand it, but that you are greedy and want everything, but in the end you get nothing."
After a pause, he continued: "Only when you are expert in martial arts can you achieve perfection. No matter where he comes from, you can defeat him with just one sword. Why learn so many fancy things? It is easier to overcome a skill with one's skill than with one's skill. Too many... It doesn't matter when your extraordinary level is still low. When you meet a real master, you will realize that those mixed and half-baked martial arts have no effect at all. Once used, it will be your fatal flaw."
When Raymond heard this, he suddenly realized something. He was a little unconcerned just now, but now he also realized that something was wrong.
With all the enemies in front of him, if it weren't for this complex martial arts, he would probably have died many times.
But now the high-level transcendent being opposite him was immediately unable to do what he wanted.
For example, if you can't kill an enemy with a single blow, you still expect to be able to kill him by learning the "six-style finger gun"? It's just superfluous.
Only now do I know that this is "using circumstances to suppress skills"!
"Since you, boy, are studying the art of swordsmanship, you should polish the sword spirit you want. A swordsman must look like a swordsman. Sodros, the founder of your lineage of Ji Dao Ryu, dedicated himself to sharpening his sword, and finally reached the level of swordsmanship.
Extreme state."
At this time, the third uncle said again: "Did you know that during the encirclement and suppression battle after Sodros became possessed by the devil, he almost killed the general 'King of Swords' Ibn Qasim al-Goutubi with a sword in his hand?"
Under the sword? Although it is relying on the power of becoming a demon, after all, the realm of swordsmanship cannot be faked..."
"Thoderos almost killed the general?"
Raymond was also surprised when he heard that his master of the Ji Dao style was so awesome? He thought that a swordsman who could reach the level of Hawke of the Shichibukai would be the best in the world, but he didn't expect that Sodros in his later years would actually
Can he kill the three generals of the Navy Headquarters?
(The setting of this book is that the three generals of the Navy Headquarters are at the top of the navy's combat power, and the "Shichibukai" are not on the same level as them.)
But suddenly,
Raymond thought of something and his face looked a little strange.
Does this old man's sincere talk about so many topics that need to be discussed first have anything to do with asking yourself when to go to sea?
This subtext seems to mean "driving people away"?
As expected, the old man then said: "We killed three division captains under Taimo, and that guy should have got the news. This sea area will definitely not be calm for some time to come..."
The third uncle said directly: "Besides, now that the hidden dangers on Demon Island have been completely eliminated, it is also time to take action and let those guys know that our pure fur tribe is not so easy to provoke."
"Ah? Are you planning to fight [Elephant King]? So you're afraid of injuring me..."
Raymond suddenly felt that he had some understanding of his third uncle's good intentions, and was inexplicably moved.
Don't think about it, the old man kept talking.
"It's not that... a [Elephant King] Taimo won't be too troublesome for my old bones."
The third uncle smacked his lips, then pointed at a certain vampire boss next to him, and said with disgust on his face: "The most important thing is that Enzo always yells about going to sea, so you can take him with you when you go to sea, and the old man will be happy to be in peace."
Raymond: "..."
It turned out that the "Blood Marquis" who had been dormant for a hundred years had been eager to see the outside world, and had been clamoring for his third uncle to accompany him to become the Pirate King. The old man was annoyed and blamed Lei, so he urged Lei.
The idea of setting sail and letting this vampire boss hitch a ride on the sea...
"Hey, hey, hey... Senior brother, why do I feel like you dislike me?"
Boss Enzo looked unhappy and said quietly: "Brother, you have changed..."
The third uncle didn't say anything, his expression was very clear: he just dislikes you for being such a talkative person.
The pure-hair tribe was preparing for a war, and Raymond knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay for a long time.
Although the two purposes of coming to the Pure Mao Clan this time, to search for the "Secret Code of Magical Knowledge" and the seventh-level dragon crystal, have been perfectly achieved. However, this money-mad Lei always feels that he no longer has any benefits, and some ideas are not clear.
After thinking for a while, he hinted: "Third uncle, I am about to go sailing. Do you have any farewell gifts? For example, give me a few artifacts, or... send some elders to give me a ride?"
"
"OK."
Before he finished speaking, the third uncle agreed immediately: "I don't have a magic weapon, but that girl Helen can go sailing with you."
"ah?"
Raymond was stunned when he heard this. How could he agree so easily?
With the power of the Shichibukai like Helen at your side, it is much more than just a few artifacts.
It seems good to be able to fight and resist, and also looks pretty and delicious?
Unexpectedly, the old man didn't mean that at all, and said directly: "Helen also takes your boat out to do some errands, and I might as well give you a ride."
"..."
Raymond rolled his eyes. What I want is a bodyguard. How dare you give me a free ride?
Helen on the side seemed to have known about this for a long time. She was eating silently, with a slight curvature at the corner of her mouth.
After hearing this later, Raymond realized that this bad old man had planned it long ago.
The Pure Mao Tribe was invaded by pirates this time, and it was roughly estimated that hundreds of thousands of tribesmen were robbed by pirates. So they wanted to send an elder out to sea to rescue the tribesmen in several large slave markets in the Gruul Sea.
After talking to this point, Raymond felt that his third uncle was not so kind.
Sure enough, what Boss Enzo said is right, third uncle, you have changed...
Why does a person who has to pay you back three sips of wine if you take a sip of wine suddenly become so stingy?
Raymond is now the "benefactor" of the entire pure-hair tribe, and the favorability of the entire tribe is very high. It stands to reason that even if he really wants to abduct the elder Helen Fulrea and follow them on a ship to go out to sea for adventure,
With that "intimate" favorability, she will definitely not refuse. And if she really wants to find bodyguards, those pure-haired people will probably take the initiative to come...
"What's that look in your eyes..."
The third uncle felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Raymond's resentful eyes and blew his beard angrily.
After a pause, he explained: "Boy Raymond, you really need to find a bodyguard to go sailing. Not to mention the elders of the clan, even the old man can accompany you. But... if the chick lives in the giant
Under the protection of an eagle, it can never truly grow. Do you understand what I mean?"
"..."
Hearing this, Raymond frowned.
I understand all the principles, but I don’t get any benefits and feel uncomfortable no matter what.
"You have done a great favor to our pure-hair tribe. If nothing else, the old man still takes this kindness to heart."
The third uncle then said: "Old man, I can make you a promise. If you are in trouble in the future, even if you force yourself into the Navy headquarters, I, an old man, will be on call and try my best to save you."
"Huh?"
When Raymond heard this, he immediately became energetic.
This...suddenly I felt like I was holding a "king bomb" and feeling confident!
With Third Uncle's life-saving talisman, even if Hard Steel really kills some troublesome enemy that day, wouldn't it be better to just summon the big guy to "kill" him?
This promise is worth hundreds of millions of gold!
Hearing these words, Raymond's melancholy just now was immediately swept away.
He rolled his eyes, and immediately took out a few phone bugs from the package with a smile, and said: "Third uncle, these are Colin's improved encrypted phone bugs. They have good signal, high encryption level, small and exquisite, easy to carry around. I will give them to you."
How many do you want to keep? You can chat with me if you have nothing to do in the future..."
The third uncle shook his head and said with a smile: "Haha, boy, have you been ready to plot against me?"
Indeed, Raymond had already made this plan from the beginning.
He thought that he would definitely not be able to stay with his third uncle for the rest of his life. If he encounters problems in cultivation in the future, it would be great if he could have a "living arsenal of martial arts" that could solve the problems remotely. He had never had the chance to take this phone bug out before.
I'm afraid that this old man will find it troublesome... now is the perfect opportunity!
This old man who has never used a telephone seems to have accepted this "parting gift".
Raymond skipped this topic and asked: "Third uncle, have you ever thought about forming a fleet and setting sail? Although I don't understand the world structure, I always feel that big changes will happen in this era. In the pure Mao tribe territory,
Maybe it will also be affected..."
"Maybe in the future, but not now."
The third uncle's eyes were deep and he obviously recognized this.
The world is in turmoil, and even if they, the pure-haired people, want to live in peace, they probably won't be able to do so. This time, the pirate invasion has already begun to take shape.
In this battle, the Pure Mao tribe captured dozens of top-level warships, which was enough for them to cope with some huge changes in the future.
...
The "Ghost Pirates" still lack a cook on board.
A few days ago, Raymond had been eating and lodging at the "Flower Bear Restaurant". He had long been fooled by this fat cat, and he had longed for adventure abroad...
But before, Sha Mao's father was trapped on Devil's Island, and Sha Mao always said, "When he left, the family restaurant would have no cooks," so recruitment became a difficult problem. Now that his father is back, naturally everything has changed.
Not a problem anymore.
Panda Shitou was about to go to sea, and the elders also gave him a name, Victor Ismail Chen.
When Raymond listened, he felt it was hard to pronounce no matter how he pronounced it, and it sounded somewhat similar to the pseudonym of Nicholas Zhaosi before him.
Might as well just call him "Fat Cat".
It took a few days to repair.
The "Ghost Pirates" pulled anchor and set sail, bidding farewell to Blue Bird City.
The group consists of captain Raymond, navigator Anna, doctor Lulu, ship mechanic Colin, chef Fat Cat and a pet monkey. Although the pirate group is small, it has already taken shape.
Of course, there are also boss Enzo and Helen on the boat who are taking a ride.
The Iron Toad sailed to the place where the fleet of Pirate King Delos once set sail, the first stop at the beginning of that legendary era, the "City of Eternal Night" Eludnis!
