On the day Fei received the black ribbon, the sword prepared for her that Ling had told her about a few weeks ago was finally polished.
The two left the Budokan, started from the sports area and headed north, passing through the street in front of the station directly above the Continental Crossing Railway, and arrived at the Central Square of Crossbell City.
"Fei's footwork has improved a lot in recent days. Compared to the broken steps I taught you before, it's closer to Levi's."
"Well, thanks to Miss Du Barry's advice, I have recently come to understand the technique of letting the wind drive me forward."
The straight-line distance from the Budokan to the central square is about two thousand moments, but it only took the two of them less than a minute to reach their destination. And this is far from Fei's limit speed. If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding pedestrians, Fei would still have reached the destination.
She could walk faster. Her figure was like a breeze, and the pedestrians on the road didn't even notice that the two girls just walked past them.
We followed Ling to the Crossbell Central Square. Because the New Year Festival had just passed, the lively feeling had not completely dissipated. Gathering in front of the big clock in the central square, you could also hear the tour guide introducing the twenty-year-old building to the tourists.
The origin of the previously "unearthed" bell.
When passing by a rest bench, Fei saw a group of four people chatting with an old man.
"With the renovation of the department store and the new Guli store, the layout of Crossbell is really changing with each passing day. Although this is a good thing, it is dazzling. The layout of the street has changed so much, even for a native like me
People in Crossbell will get lost if they are not careful."
The old man said to the brown-haired young man wearing a CPD uniform.
Two of the four people were quite familiar to Fei.
"Hey, isn't that Tio-sister? Hmm... the red god of death is here too."
Because both Ling and Fei kept their auras in check, they were not noticed by the foursome over there as they mingled in the crowd.
"Tio now works in a new department called the Special Agent Support Section under the police station. As for the red guy over there, Xiaofei, are you familiar with him?"
"Well, we met occasionally when I was practicing at the Moon Monastery. Later, I also formed a team several times when fighting demons." Fei did not mention the incident where she was almost killed in a mudslide attack three years ago, but just downplayed it.
He talked about an encounter he had at a training ground northwest of Crossbell last year.
Ling had never heard her talk about these things before, but it seemed like there was nothing to worry about.
She nodded slightly towards Tio who met her gaze next to the bench, then glanced at Ellie who didn't notice her presence, and then no longer focused on the four members of the support section. Agents
To put it bluntly, the tasks of the support class are just odd jobs, which have nothing to do with her daily life.
The two of them did not stop and went straight into the era of large comprehensive supermarkets.
As soon as I approached the service desk, the receptionist Ms. Parr greeted me warmly.
"Welcome to the contemporary department store, imported ingredients, dresses, shoes, groceries, accessories... Our store has various types of counters. What do you want to buy?"
"I'm going to Urjanzai. I should have moved here from the back streets."
"Ah, are you a guest with an appointment? The Iron Master is in Building C on the third floor."
After asking for the location, the two went up to the third floor and stopped at what looked like a sword shop.
Ling was directly invited into the backstage after taking out her business card, and was greeted by a handsome man with gray hair and fine features.
After handing the newly prepared rapier and scabbard to Ling, the Shaobaitou swordsmith asked about the other sword from before.
"That antique that looks rusty... even though I polished it for three days and three nights using the sword sharpening skills passed down from generation to generation by steel masters, it's still not sharp enough to be called an edge. Is there really nothing wrong with using it?
?”
"Well, I used it once yesterday and there is no problem at all. You are obviously the best craftsman in the eastern part of Calvard. It would be better to have more confidence in yourself."
"That's good, that's good. To be honest, I really deserve those expensive blades."
"It's just some newly researched alloys in my laboratory. Although they are not for sale, the cost is not as high as you think. In the future, my disciples will often ask you to customize weapons."
When it comes to cold weapon manufacturing, the first one in Ling's mind is of course the Black Workshop. But in fact, the finished products of the Black Workshop are not as outstanding as she imagined.
Whether it is the floating city or the Rozenbelk workshop, they are good at pouring smelting. This method is not a big problem when used on mass-produced alloy armor and standard weapons. When used on customized weapons, the quality will be obvious.
There is a gap. Although she has been able to create very precise machines and program-implanted dolls, after all, the craft of sword-making, which has been passed down for thousands of years, still has merit. The continent of Samlia is not
Everything can be explained by theory, so she went through the path of the master class and made an appointment with the swordsmith who helped Valut grind the stone-studded gauntlet.
While Ling was chatting with the middle-aged man, Fei stared intently at the sword that was delivered to her hand.
Although the sword Mingtian Zhixue is a Western Continent-style thin sword, it uses oriental characters as inscriptions on the sword, and the sword exudes a faint white light.
Compared with the unmarked sword Lucius in Ling's hand, this sword is more delicate in appearance, so it's no wonder that Ling calls it a ceremonial sword.
After returning to Rozenberk's workshop, Fei not only cut open the third sword-testing stone that had never been cut open before, but also directly cut off a corner of the fourth sword-testing stone.
"Is this Snow in the Sky the same Samlian stone weapon as the captain?" Fei heard about Lu Jia's Gray Storm from Ling.
"Basically."
"Um, basically?"
Ling raised her hand and pulled out most of the scarlet sword that exuded an ominous aura from the void. It immediately began to stir uneasily, as if it was roaring, shouting, and roaring. Ling stuffed it back into the void.
In the blood pool. But just for a short while, overwhelming blood filled the whole room.
"What is this... yuck?" Fei covered her nose with her right hand and took a while to come back to her senses.
"My main weapon Arondette, Xiao Fei, is this the first time you've seen it? It's a spiritual sword made of a large piece of Samlian stone. It was originally made by swallowing my blood and my mind.
Although it is a connected existence, it is a weapon made with blood refining method after all. Since it was broken once by a sharpshooter, part of the spirituality of the sword body has been lost. In addition, when the phases overlapped later, it was stained with too much demon blood.
All in all, it has become a very troublesome thing. Now it is quite appropriate to call it a blood sword. As the spiritual level is upgraded after swallowing the dark body fragments, the power has become a lot stronger. But the side effect is that when the sword is used, blood will be seen.
If you don't drink the blood of living people, you will be very disobedient. All in all, it can't be used normally at the moment. That's why I found a new substitute."
Ling said a lot of words that Fei couldn't understand, which made her confused. Seeing Xiao Fei's unclear and serious expression, Ling still focused on the key points.
"Generally speaking, stone-strewn weapons are actually just strengthened and modified using Samlianite fragments. The amount of Samlianite used will not exceed the size of a thumb, and it is rare to use palm-sized Samlianite.
The more common processing method is stone coating, which can also be welded or used directly as sword bones. As long as a little bit of Samlian stone is added, the performance of the weapon can be greatly improved. Therefore, Samlian stone weapons
It does not mean that it is a weapon made from a single piece of Samlian stone."
Fei nodded, understanding this part.
"So the main material is still steel, but the stone is added? And the general stone weapon is not made with a whole stone, right?"
"There is still a difference. Samlian stone is originally a very precious mineral. After a long period of time, the spiritual veins have self-organized into crystals. Therefore, even if others want to use large pieces of stone to make weapons, they do not have the conditions.
Bar."
Fei thought for a moment and then asked Ling about what she heard about swords during the day.
"I heard from that uncle that the master's new sword seems different from mine. Is it not sharpened?"
"Well, that's not important. After all, it is a weapon using Samlianite. As long as the hardness is passed, the rest is a matter of pressure."
Unlike the newly made Snow White, the Sword Lucius is an antique that Levi picked up near the Dragon Spirit Cave in the Agria Mountains not long ago.
According to the alchemy test, the weapon was from 250 years ago... that is, from the time of the Battle of Lions. According to Levi, the rusty sword was found near the tombstone, and the rapier and the scabbard were inserted into it.
In front of the tombstone, the way of inserting the sword in front of the tomb seems to be a local characteristic of the state of Chasarante. And the text on the tombstone has been blurred. The only thing that is known is the name of the sword.
This sword named Lucius may have something to do with the sixth prince Lucius who joined Drekels's command that year. Maybe it was the previous generation of Purple King who was killed by the Scarlet End Demon King.
The tombstone of the initiator? It could be someone else. Ziqi has no idea about the previous generation because it was completely destroyed two hundred and fifty years ago. And Ling did not go to Albery either.
I want to know what the plan is.
Ling doesn't care about this kind of historical dust.
Even if it has rusted away, it is still a sword that can attract light. It was this unique property that caught the attention of Ash who went to Hamel to worship, and then Levi sent the sword back to Ling.
Ling, who had been looking for a temporary substitute for Arondette, quickly identified it as a weapon processed with Samlianite.
When arriving at the first pass, the swordsman will prepare a real weapon for his direct disciple. This seems to be the tradition of the Eight Leaves Itto style. Cassius's Swift Feather, Arios's Hayabusa, Rean
The wind cutters were all gifts from the Sword Immortal. After hearing Joshua talk about this, Ling memorized it.
"But why is the weapon Master prepared for me a rapier?"
In fact, Fei mainly learned fencing from Ling, focusing more on the slashing direction.
The use of rapiers is more focused on the direction of thrust.
"Because Fei's strength is not enough. Judging from the combat skills you are good at using in combination with your steps, the sudden attack is more powerful, right?"
"Well...that's what I said..."
The lack of strength also depends on who she is competing with. In fact, Fei's strength is not weak at all. After this year of gravity training, she can beat many big men even in arm wrestling in the group. However, when her comparison object is Lai
After fighting guys like Wei, Ling, Lu Jia, and Leo, she could only silently accept the fact that she was "not strong enough".
"The other thing is the next direction of practice. Unfortunately, I am not the kind of famous teacher who hopes that his disciples will find their own way, but Master Chen who hopes to test his own ideas on his disciples. If Fei explores on his own, he will probably always
You may find the path that suits you best one day, but until then, I hope you practice according to my requirements. Closer to home, since the power is relatively small, the power of single-shot techniques is very limited. But it doesn't matter, it is not powerful enough.
You can use combos to make up for it. In fact, until two years ago, I still relied on combos as the main fighting method."
If one sword is not enough, use another sword. If five consecutive strikes are not enough, then ten consecutive strikes are needed. The most suitable weapon for this high-speed fighting method is the rapier.
Ling's imagination has long been unrestricted by genres. Her most important research topic is still the principle of killing, but it is good to change the taste occasionally when there is no progress there. The sudden burst of the Dou Qi column is with the Seventh Sister
She learned it, and she named it "Curry Stick" just out of her own vulgar taste.
"Speed is power, and kinetic energy is proportional to the square of speed. As long as the efficiency of connection can be improved, one sword can be better than one sword. It is the best to use it to make up for the lack of power. In addition, the top is not as good as the line, and the line is not as good as the point. The pressure
I don’t need to say more about the principle, right?”
When Ling teaches Fei, she always likes to push things to the point of pressure. Fei is also a little used to it, accustomed to ignoring someone's words.
"Instead of using a long sword, use a thin sword. I hope you can practice cutting the air blade formed by the sword energy until the sword energy condenses into silk."
"Sword energy condensation and so on... Isn't that the content of the popular novels in Kalvad... Master, you can't do it yourself..."
Fei complained mercilessly.
Ling was exposed and showed no embarrassment.
"How will you know if it works if you don't try it? Although I am also exploring ways to reduce the projection area of the light cannon, in short, it is not impossible!"
It's whimsical, but forget it. Fei is somewhat used to it.
A rapier was a rapier. As the proof of the first transmission from her mentor, she gratefully accepted it.
