"Even if Alexander's body is limited to Level 5 by the Demonic Tide, it is still Level 5 of Meteor Fire Shower."
"With your spirituality, you can burn everything without restraint. How could the Night Watchman resist?"
"Tsk, miscalculation."
"We encountered a tough enemy."
"Demi god?"
"No, he's not a demigod, it's just that his swordsmanship is weird."
"Extraordinary swordsmanship that has never been seen before."

The car is traveling on the E90 line.
Peggy, the novice driver, was driving this time and carefully controlled the steering wheel. Eleanor sat in the passenger seat and paid attention to the road conditions and driving conditions ahead for her.
The roads in this world are probably the most coveted drag racing roads for all novice drivers. The roads are basically built in the third or fourth century, with standard Solomon-style four or six lanes, and are extremely spacious.
After the great turmoil of the Fifth Age, technological civilization suffered a huge blow. Nowadays, civilian families in various countries basically have no cars, and aristocrats with a little money prefer to fly. As a result, there are not many vehicles on the roads everywhere, and they are empty.
Ji can completely let herself go here and drive however she wants.
"I feel you have changed a bit." Eleanor said suddenly.
"Why?" Peggy asked.
"Do you remember the last time you drove?" Eleanor said with a smile. "The shoulders and neck were arched, the waist and back were straight, and the whole person was extremely nervous."
"Now I feel a bit like an experienced driver."
"Oh." Peggy said calmly, "Maybe she drives too much."
She looked forward, was silent for a long time, and then asked:
"Eleanor, do you know Alexander the Great?"
"I know!" Eleanor immediately sat up straight, "Hey, he is one of the three classical military strategists I admire most."
"Three military strategists?"
"The first one was Hannibal, the commander of ancient Carthage. He defeated the rising Solomon Republic twice in a row, and finally failed miserably the third time." Eleanor introduced her in detail, "And his death belt
Here comes the end of the entire Second Age."
“The second Caesar, Solomon the Great, led his troops to pacify Gaul and Iberia, and later defeated Pompey in the civil war. He finally took the entire Solomonic country into his hands, announcing the collapse of the republic and the end of the dictatorship.
The birth brought an end to the Third Age."
"The subsequent Fourth Age will basically be monarchy."
"You haven't talked about Alexander yet," Peggy reminded her.
"Of course, I was about to say." Eleanor cleared her throat and said, "Both Caesar and Hannibal admitted that they were influenced by Alexander in terms of military thinking."
"Alexander the Great was a figure in the middle of the second century, the king of ancient Macedonia, and a peerless figure of genius."
"He put down the civil strife in Cyres, and then conquered the east, from Asia Minor, Syria to the plains of Mesopotamia."
"He also brought the Cyris civilization to all directions, setting a precedent of first conquering other countries through military means and then assimilating other countries through civilization..."
"Who is Alexander's father?" Paige interrupted her rambling.
"I remember that his name seemed to be Philip II." Eleanor thought and said, "He was also a powerful figure. He was the first to defeat the coalition forces of Cyrus, unified the entire Cyrus Peninsula, and laid a solid foundation for Alexander to conquer the East.
Foundation."
"How did he die?" Peggy asked.
"Uh..." Eleanor said uncertainly, "It seems that he was assassinated at his daughter's wedding. The murderer was a Macedonian noble."
"The reason for the assassination is not clear. Some people say that it was ordered by Alexander's mother Olympias, because after the death of King Philip, she immediately executed his husband's young wife and all their children in the name of murder. Historiography
Experts think this is an obvious act of silence."
"Alexander the Great himself claimed that this was a conspiracy by the Eastern Ilanians because they were afraid that Macedonia would conquer them, and King Philip was a staunch war party."
Eleanor said with certainty: "I believe this statement more. With the arrogant character of Alexander the Great, if the assassination was really done by his mother, even if he pinched his nose and refused to admit it, he would never be able to frame Elan.
It’s about the Nian people.”
"I understand, Eleanor," Peggy whispered. "Thank you."
"What's wrong with you?" Eleanor looked at her doubtfully and laughed strangely, "You seem to have something on your mind, little Peggy?"
"It's okay." Paige shook her head, thought quietly for a while, and then continued to ask:
"Eleanor, is the Phantom Sword a very powerful swordsmanship?"
"The Fantasy Sword is one of the three extraordinary swordsmanships." Eleanor thought for a moment and then added, "Including Asker's Nine Star Styles, there are four extraordinary swordsmanships in this world."
"The so-called extraordinary swordsmanship is swordsmanship that incorporates certain laws. The swordsmanship itself has extraordinary power and can achieve effects that ordinary swordsmanship cannot achieve."
"Alexander the Great's Phantom Sword, and the Immortal Phantom Sword that was subsequently improved by Hannibal, can create multiple kills in a short period of time by dividing phantoms. It is a famous swordsmanship that uses one enemy against many."
"You saw it when we fought the Black Knight before. The phantom sword can easily reverse the numerical disadvantage of one against many. Although the phantom's defense is very low, its attack power, attack methods and the main body are exactly the same."
"The other two extraordinary swordsmanships, one is the 'Holy Sword' of Charlemagne and the Knights of the Round Table, are also very powerful battle formation swordsmanship, and are said to be indestructible."
"The other is King Arthur's chief knight, Lancelot's 'Swordsmanship in the Lake'. It is a mysterious assassination swordsmanship."
"Legend has it that the Fairy of the Lake gave Excaliber, the sword of the lake, to King Arthur, but taught the swordsmanship of the lake to Lancelot, because she anticipated that there would be an inevitable break between the two."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Peggy interrupted Eleanor's story time, "Why haven't I heard of these sword skills?"
"Because they have been lost a long time ago." Eleanor said sadly, "If you pay attention to military history, you will know the revered status of extraordinary swordsmanship in history."
"The users of every extraordinary swordsmanship have single-handedly reversed the disparity of countless wars in history. They have changed history even more frequently than the intervention of demigods. After all, the latter will be affected by magic.
Constraints of tide levels.”
"There is a saying that the reason why extraordinary swordsmanship is designed is to allow lower levels to challenge upper levels, so that non-demigods can also fight against demigods."
"If that's the case, why were they lost?" Peggy asked.
"Because it is difficult to record extraordinary swordsmanship in writing." Eleanor explained, "The essence of extraordinary swordsmanship lies in its rules, and the rules will inevitably be distorted when described in any language, so it is difficult to teach every extraordinary swordsmanship.
Inheritance is achieved through pure oral or pure writing.”
"For example, the essence of extraordinary swordsmanship is A. When you try to describe it, what you describe becomes B, and what the other party understands after listening is C."
"Due to the huge gap between A and C, it is difficult for learners to understand the essence of extraordinary swordsmanship through language or writing. For example, Asker's Nine Star Styles, even if he is willing to teach you without reservation, but
Even if I tell you, you won’t understand, and even if I understand, you won’t understand.”
"There is a saying that when you are trying to understand the extraordinary swordsmanship, it is also trying to understand you. If the two parties cannot establish a connection and recognize each other, then they will naturally not be able to learn it."
Paige fell silent.
When she was learning the Nine Star Styles, there was indeed a situation where she couldn't learn them no matter how hard she learned them.
In this way, it seems that it can be explained as "incompatibility" according to Eleanor's statement.
However, there is no obstacle in understanding the immortal sword in my mind.
