Youth development plan

Being mocked by Liang Lidong, even a simple boy like Kail was a little angry. "Teacher, I've defeated many mercenaries with this set of swordsmanship. I think it's quite powerful, but I haven't practiced it well, so it's normal that you don't like it. "

"Looks like you won't be convinced if I don't show you something useful." Liang Lidong grabbed a wooden sword from the side and pointed the tip of the sword at the ground. "Attack me. If I make a move, you won't even have the chance to fight back!"

Kail held his breath and rushed over with a horizontal slash. From his movements, it could be seen that he was quite imposing, and his strength was also very stable. However, in the next moment, before he could even swing half of his horizontal slash, Liang Lidong's wooden sword was already pointed at Kail's throat.

"Your movements are too slow. A move like horizontal slash is not something a longsword should be used at all." Liang Lidong took two steps back and continued, "That's the specialty of long-handled weapons, including giant swords. Their attack range is long, and they can use the centrifugal force of the horizontal slash to increase the speed of the weapon's slash to achieve greater lethality. Longswords, on the other hand, have a limited attack range, and generally pursue the fastest attack speed. The mercenary who taught you the 'swordsmanship' actually mixed some of the moves of long-handled weapons into the basic swordsmanship. It looks good, but if you continue to practice it, you'll be useless!"

"Why? I can use a longsword as a long-handled weapon." Kail was a little puzzled.

Liang Lidong laughed happily. "The way to use long-handled weapons and ordinary longswords are different … The mercenary who taught you the 'swordsmanship' must have understood swordsmanship and how to use long-handled weapons. But he combined the two and created a nondescript swordsmanship for you. Once you practice this so-called swordsmanship for a long time, your muscles and instincts will get used to this fake swordsmanship, and it will be very difficult to change it again. At that time, your swordsmanship has neither speed nor strength. It's more than enough to bully ordinary people, but against a slightly more experienced professional, it's tantamount to suicide. "

Kail was frightened. He murmured, "That's not possible. He looks very kind. He doesn't look like he's going to harm people on purpose."

Liang Lidong said, "It's hard to tell what's in a man's heart. Even if he didn't have the intention to harm you, he probably had the intention to tease you. Perhaps he thought that you would never become a mercenary, so he made a half-finished, misleading swordsmanship for you to learn."

"Teacher, you're just a little faster!" Kail was still a little unconvinced. "After I practiced this sword technique, I felt that my strength was gradually increasing. When I become stronger and become a professional, I might be able to defeat you! "

"I'm just faster?" Liang Lidong's expression was one of stubbornness. "Fine, I'll show you something else. This time, it's my turn to attack first. I plan to stab your heart. Let's see if you can block it. "

Heh heh! Kail laughed dryly and played a small trick. He directly blocked the wooden sword in front of his chest.

Liang Lidong did not mind. He directly stabbed out with his sword, activating both Aristocratic Swordsmanship and Swordsmanship Specialization at the same time. Then, with a crack, the wooden sword in Kail's hand broke into two. The wooden sword in Liang Lidong's hand was pressed against the left side of Kail's chest. There was a hole in his clothes, as if it had been slashed by a sharp weapon, and there was a faint trace of blood seeping out from within.

Kail took a deep breath and then looked at the broken sword in his hand as if he had seen something unbelievable. "It was too fast. I didn't see anything before I felt myself being attacked."

"If I were an enemy, you would have been dead by now." Liang Lidong withdrew his wooden sword.

Kail stared at the broken wooden sword in his hand for a while. He found that the surface of the cut was very smooth, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon and not by brute force. This discovery attracted his attention. "Teacher, you're also using an unsharpened wooden sword for training, right? Why can your attack cause such a fracture?"

This kid is quite attentive! Thinking so, Liang Lidong walked to a small tree and then swung the wooden sword. The small tree, which was the size of a bowl, was cut in half at the waist, and the two cuts were as smooth as a mirror. Kail's eyes almost popped out. He ran over, grabbed the wooden sword in Liang Lidong's hand, and then slashed it hard at another small tree … In the end, the wooden sword in his hand broke into two.

Swordsmanship Specialization increased the toughness of sword-type weapons in the hands of the user, and also increased the sharpness. Even if it was a wooden sword in the hands of Liang Lidong, it would be no different from a real iron sword. The better the quality of the sword, the more obvious the effect.

"How could this be!" Kail held the broken wooden sword in his hand, his expression as if his worldview had been overturned.

"This is the true strength that a swordsman should have! As long as it is a sword, no matter what kind of sword, as long as it is in the hands of a swordsman, it is no different from a divine weapon. " Liang Lidong took the broken sword from Kail's hand, and gently tapped the boy's head with the back of the sword. "I can only be regarded as half a swordsman, and my swordsmanship ability will only increase in the future. You may think that I'm very strong, but among the professions, my swordsmanship ability is at most average. If I meet a real swordsman, such as a Great Swordsman, I have to run away as soon as I see them. I don't dare to fight them head-on at all. That nondescript swordsmanship you've learned … Hehe, to put it bluntly, it's not even at the bottom. "

Sigh! Kail held his head and squatted down dejectedly. "So, what I've been practicing for the past few years is completely useless, and even harmful? And I thought that I was very talented, that after practicing for a few years, I could beat some ordinary mercenaries … It turns out that I'm not even at the bottom. "

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Liang Lidong said, "Well, don't be too depressed. You are indeed very talented. You've practiced a nondescript swordsmanship to some extent. Now, you are still young, and there is still a chance for you to change. Now, I will first teach you a set of basic swordsmanship … What's with your expression? The more basic something is, the more important it is. When you understand the basics, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when learning more powerful swordsmanship in the future. "

Kail asked, "Teacher, do you know advanced swordsmanship?"

"No!" Liang Lidong shrugged. "After all, I'm only half a swordsman!"

Ah! Kail had a look of disappointment on his face!

Liang Lidong used the back of his sword to smack the fellow's head, causing the youth to cover his head and scurry away. Then, he smiled and said, "Although I don't know advanced swordsmanship, I know how to learn advanced swordsmanship. And most importantly, my foundation is very solid. If you learn from me and specialize in swordsmanship, I can guarantee that you can use basic swordsmanship to torture those advanced swordsmanship professionals!"

Hearing this, Kail immediately became excited. He patted his chest and promised, "Learn, I will learn from teacher. In the future, if you let me go up the mountain, I will definitely not go down the water!"

"Well, you said it yourself. Start now, practice straight stabbing a thousand times a day! When I'm satisfied, I will teach you the next step. "

"No problem, it's just a thousand times, it's nothing."

Kail chose a new wooden sword and began to practice straight stabbing. He practiced very attentively, and every stab was very powerful.

When Liang Lidong saw that Kail had entered the state of mind, he didn't disturb him anymore. He walked in front of Belin and discovered that the little girl was still sitting there. Her eyes were bloodshot and tears were flowing down her face. She looked like a wronged kitten. "Okay, you can blink now," Liang Lidong said.

Hearing this, Belin immediately jumped up and rubbed her eyes.

"How many times did you blink just now?" Liang Lidong asked her.

Belin hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth. "Six times, teacher. Sometimes, I can't help but blink on my own …"

Her voice became softer and softer, and her face became timid, afraid that Liang Lidong would reprimand her.

But Liang Lidong was very happy. "You can admit how many times you have blinked your eyes, which is a very good matter. If you want to become a believer, you must first be honest with yourself, and only then can you be honest with the god you believe in. Gods are different from humans. They can see the truth and falsehood of a person's heart, so if you want to go further on the path of a believer, then sincerity is a necessary quality. "

When Belin saw that Liang Lidong didn't reprimand her, she was very happy. She nodded her head as if she understood.

"Okay, you can go home now." Liang Lidong smiled. "When you go home, practice not blinking. When you practice to the point where you don't cry, come find me. I will teach you the next training method."

Belin nodded repeatedly and happily went home.

Liang Lidong glanced at Kail, who was still practicing his thrusts, and returned to his small grass hut. However, outside the village, he saw a few soldiers waiting there, and behind them were two carriages.

Seeing Liang Lidong, the leading soldier approached him and asked respectfully, "May I ask if you are the Red Priest Beta?"

"I am Beta, but what's with the title of the Red Priest?"

The soldier replied obsequiously, "The news that you killed two assassins and Karl last night has been spread out in Winterwind. Because you are wearing the red robe of a believer, everybody calls you the Red Priest as a sign of respect."

Is that so … Liang Lidong was rather hesitant. He had been struggling in the game for eight years, and he had never seen an NPC give him a title. He did not expect that in less than a month in this world, he would have the nickname "Red Priest." It sounded quite domineering and mighty.

"What do you want from me?" asked Liang Lidong.

The soldier hurried to say, "Money and alchemical items are in the two carriages as a gift from the mayor. Also, the mayor asked me to deliver a badge to you … He hopes that you can be the War Mage of Winterwind. The traitor, Elric, has been beheaded. If you accept the appointment, half of his property will be transferred to you. "

"Leave the items and take the badge with you." Liang Lidong said calmly, "By the way, please deliver a message for me … Uther, I deserve these things. Don't bother me anymore. If there's anything that you want to drag me down with you, I can't guarantee what I'll do. "

The soldier nodded quickly and left with his men in a hurry. He did not want to be involved in the conflict between two big shots.

One of the carriages was loaded with alchemical items, and the other with two chests of gold coins. Liang Lidong counted them and found that there were about two thousand of them.

The magic alchemy item should be Karl's relic, and it should have been Liang Lidong's spoils of war, but I didn't expect that once Uther gave it away, it would become a 'commission' paid by him. This person knows how to change concepts secretly, but the more the other party is like this, the more Liang Lidong doesn't want to deal with him. Whether it is cooperation or friendship with such a person, it is not a good thing.
