Chapter 17 Not willing to be ordinary

 "He is the bear hunter Linde you are looking for." After the two came to Linde, Raul pointed at Linde and introduced.

  "Lord Bear Hunter, my name is Raleigh, and I am the son of the bitter bridge blacksmith." The young strong man walked up to Linde awkwardly, took a deep breath, as if he was making a major decision, his expression was tense, and his tone was tense. He said very formally: "I can no longer find an opponent in Kuqiao, and those knights don't bother to fight with people like me. I have heard of your legend, and I heard it from your camp just now. You once I have fought against Lord Fotimo, so I think..."

  Halfway through the words, the young strong man showed a troubled expression on his face, as if he didn't know how to say the next words, and he got stuck.

  "Do you want to compete with me?" Linde said what the other party wanted to say.

  The young strong man breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then asked with some worry: "Is it okay?" "

  Of course." Linde nodded, looked at Raul next to him, and asked: "He has already Have you competed with you?"

  Raul smiled bitterly and said: "I have competed. This guy is too strong. We are no match." After that, he looked at Raleigh and said: "We are in high school. When I was in court, I heard that there was a powerful guy under Baron Kuqiao. He was the son of a blacksmith. He was only a teenager and his strength was already stronger than most adult soldiers. Now I know that those rumors were not exaggerated at all, just like Lin It's the same as your legends, Mr. De."

  After hearing Raoul's introduction, Linde also looked at Raleigh with curiosity, then pulled out the two swords from his waist, then gestured to Raleigh and said: " In that case, let's get started!"

  "Wait?" Raleigh was stunned when he saw Linde's movements and asked, "Use a real sword?"

  "Of course." Linde said in a deep voice, "Use Although there is no danger in practicing the sword, it does not have the effect of actual combat, because deep down you feel that even if you are hit by the practice sword, you will not die, but will only be slightly injured, so you will make some mistakes when attacking and defending. These moves won't cause any problems during normal practice, but they are very deadly on the battlefield."

  After hearing Linde's explanation, although Raleigh didn't quite understand it, he felt that it made some sense, so he turned around and hurriedly He ran towards the castle, apparently intending to get the sword.

  After Raleigh left, Raul asked with some confusion: "Master Linde, why do you have air conditioning to teach this kid this time? We have wanted you to help improve our swordsmanship, but you are always there He said he didn't have time."

  Linde heard a hint of dissatisfaction in Raoul's words and said, "I have said it before, what you low-level warriors need to improve is not their sword skills, but the coordination of battle formations on the battlefield. Your swordsmanship cannot help you survive in a melee of thousands of people, but a team of comrades with perfect coordination can."

  Raul curled his lips and said nothing more. He knew very well that Linde's words were right. But he hopes that he can have superb swordsmanship, and then be favored by a knight, become a knight's attendant, and have the opportunity to become a knight in the future, instead of just working as a guard soldier until death.

  Perhaps because Raleigh made too much noise in the camp just now, some good guys in the camp also ran to this flat ground to watch the fun. Of course, they mainly wanted to see how Linde trained the son of the bitter bridge blacksmith. By the way, he expressed his resentment at being defeated by the opponent just now.

  When Raleigh brought his long sword, twenty or thirty people had gathered around Pingdi. In addition to the guards of the Tyrell family, there were also guards from Bitterbridge Castle.

  Seeing so many people gathered here, Raleigh did not have stage fright. Judging from his expression, he seemed even more excited. When he came to Linde, he couldn't wait to draw his sword and put on the most common posture. Attack sword momentum.

  "It's begun." Linde did not make any ready sword gestures. After reminding Raleigh, he slowly walked towards Raleigh. It didn't look like he was engaging in a swordsmanship contest, but rather like he was taking a walk. generally.

  On the contrary, Raleigh, who was fully prepared, felt great pressure at this moment. In his eyes, Lind turned into a beast and slowly approached the prey, which made him have to take two steps back before he could weaken slightly. Some pressure.

  However, Linde's pace did not stop and he was still slowly approaching. The pressure that had just weakened reappeared again, and this time it was stronger.

  Perhaps he felt that if he continued to be passive like this, he might eventually lose the courage to swing his sword, so Raleigh resisted the invisible pressure on his body, let out a loud roar, and raised his sword to slash at Linde.

  Although Luo Li's sword is very powerful, no matter how fierce the sword is, it is useless if it cannot hit anyone.

  I saw that Linde moved a little to one side and easily dodged the falling sword. At the same time, he swung the half-sword in his left hand towards the opponent's neck, while the sword in his right hand stabbed straight at a slight angle, almost At the same time, a sword was placed on Raleigh's neck, and another sword was pressed against Raleigh's chest.

  The surrounding voices fell silent instantly, and then the soldiers guarding Bitterbridge couldn't help but exclaimed. After all, Raleigh was a famous and powerful warrior in Bitterbridge Castle. As early as a year ago, the soldiers guarding Bitterbridge Castle were no longer there. No one can defeat him, only a few knights in the castle may be stronger than him, and such a powerful person was defeated so easily by one person. This made the soldiers of Bitterbridge who had been defeated by Raleigh Very surprised.

  On the contrary, the soldiers of the Tyrell family had become accustomed to Lind's strength during this period, and were not surprised by the situation in front of them, so they did not show too many emotions.

  As the person involved, Raleigh was completely confused at the moment. Although he had already felt the gap between himself and Lind when he felt the strong pressure Linde put on him, he did not expect the gap between the two at all. It was so big, and it wasn't even a sword fight just now. Linde just took a step and defeated him with a casual wave of the sword in his hand. A kind of frustration that he had never felt before hit his heart.

  "Continue, come again." On the other hand, Lind took back the two swords that fell on Raleigh, then took two steps back, and said to Raleigh calmly.

  Raleigh was stunned for a moment, regaining his confidence after being hit, then took a deep breath, clenched the sword in his hand again, and attacked Linde again as usual.

  The result of this attack was exactly the same as the last one. Linde took a sideways step and easily avoided Raleigh's attack, then attacked his exposed flaw and subdued him.

  Raleigh's confidence was hit again, and he began to feel that he might not be as powerful as he thought. The previous contest between him and the castle guard was just because the other party saw that he was young and deliberately let him win, and he also thought that he was He shouldn't give up on his dream of becoming a knight, inherit his father's blacksmith shop and become a blacksmith.

  "Do you know where your shortcomings are?" Linde could see that he had damaged the other party's confidence, so he did not continue, but said with a serious expression.    

  "Disadvantages?" Luo Li was completely stunned, with a confused look on his face.

  Linde was like a teacher, teaching: "I guess you have not received any swordsmanship training. Your swordsmanship is just imitated by watching the castle guard training and the knight training of the Caswell family. Your swordsmanship is It's very rough, and it completely relies on your physical talent to function. If you meet those who are not as physically talented as you, you may be able to win, but if you meet someone who is physically better than you, or who masters superb swordsmanship, then everything will be in your hands. The advantage will no longer exist."

  Luo Li's face turned a little pale when he heard this. He never thought that he had so many shortcomings. Perhaps it was because of his youth and immature mentality. Faced with a little blow, he would Self-doubt arose, and the pride built up over the years became shaky.

  Linde then gave some suggestions: "If you want to improve your strength in a short period of time, you can practice more dodge and defense. Of course, it would be better if you can hire a swordsmanship teacher." "

  A lowly blacksmith's son should In his own position, a pair of hands holding a hammer are not worthy of holding a sword." Just as Linde finished speaking, a high-pitched and harsh voice came from outside the crowd watching the excitement.

  Upon hearing this voice, the guards of Bitterbridge Castle, including Raleigh, all seemed to know who the speaker was. They all lowered their heads slightly towards the place where the voice came from, while others looked at the source of the voice curiously.

  I saw a short figure walking from behind the crowd, surrounded by several obviously well-equipped baron guards and servants.

  This short figure is a young man with a sick face. His pale face, sunken cheeks, and dull eyes make him look like he will faint at any time. Judging from the young man's gorgeous clothes and the appearance of the people around him, It is not difficult to tell from the reaction that this person has some unusual identity, and is probably the heir of Baron Bitterbridge.

  I saw that the young man stopped when he came to Raleigh. He ignored Raleigh who lowered his head. Instead, he looked at Linde first, with jealousy and undisguised expression in his eyes. Resentment can even be said to be a look of hatred.

  This almost enemy-like look made Linde feel a little confused, because this was the first time he saw this young man in his memory.

  However, the young man's eyes only stayed on Lind for a moment, and then he turned to look at Raleigh with the same eyes, and with an expression of extreme disdain on his face, he said: "You are just the son of a blacksmith, and you will only be the son of a blacksmith all your life." Being able to stay by the fire, just like that lowly old man in your family."

  Faced with the young man's contempt, Raleigh always lowered his head and said nothing, but it was not difficult to tell from the hand he held tightly on the hilt of the sword that he was now Very angry inside.

  Obviously, Raleigh's actions were also seen by the baron guards beside the young man. They all put their hands next to their weapons. As long as Raleigh made the slightest move, they would launch a siege and kill Raleigh.

  The guards of Bitterbridge Castle who were watching the excitement did not show any concern because their colleagues were being targeted. Instead, they had smiles and gloating expressions on their faces. Obviously, the relationship between Raleigh and his colleagues was not very good, and it could even be said that they were not on good terms. bad.

  "What? Do you want to attack me with this sword?" The young man was naturally aware of Luo Li's actions. He was not afraid at all, but the disdain on his face became more intense. He walked to Luo Li's side. In front of him, with everyone watching, he slapped him hard.

  Although the boy's body seemed to be very weak, the force of the slap was very strong. Everyone around heard the slap. Even Raleigh's head was shaken by the slap, and the boy's hand seemed to be hurt by the slap. I couldn't help but rub it when I put it down.

  Although he was so humiliated, Raleigh still did not resist. He still lowered his head and held the sword in his hand tightly.

  The young man could see that Raleigh didn't dare to do anything to him, so he said with great disdain: "What a waste, go back to your dirty hole. Tonight you will embarrass our Kuqiao, and tomorrow you will Go to the castle and be punished."

  After hearing the young man's order, Raleigh turned around and prepared to leave. However, after taking two steps, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around again, saluted to Linde, and then lowered his head towards the pain. He walked toward the Bridge Castle, walking faster and faster, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight at a trot.

  "A person should do whatever his origin is. He should not have any overstepping ideas. Knights are not something that such a lowly person can become." After Raleigh left, the young man seemed not to be satisfied, and he pointed the finger at He asked Linde and said: "I have heard about you, Bear Hunter Linde, the son of a hunter. The best place for you to stay is the forest, not..."

  Before the boy could finish, Linde said coldly: "Do you think I have the guts to kill you?" As he said this, he looked at the guards around the young man and said, "Or do you think these people can protect you?"

  When Linde was speaking, the killing from the Peace Envoy Momentum also burst out from him, impacting the young man in front of him and the people around him.

  The young boy, who was already very weak, was immediately frightened and fainted, and each of the guards was so suppressed by the momentum that they were trembling all over. They didn't even have the strength to hold their swords. As for the servants, they collapsed on the ground.

  Seeing that the purpose of teaching him a lesson had been achieved, Linde did not continue to exert pressure, but returned to normal. At the same time, he said disdainfully: "Take your master and get out of here. Remember to go back and change his pants. He wets his pants at such a big age. It's really terrible." It's embarrassing to Lord Caswell."

  Those few people didn't dare to say anything. They quickly picked up the fainted young man, supported the servant who was limp on the ground, and quickly escaped from the place.

  The surrounding guards of Kuqiao Castle who were watching the fun also lost their mood to watch the fun. What they thought was that they had seen the boy's ugly appearance, and the boy's character would definitely retaliate against them, and their faces became extremely ugly.

  "You shouldn't threaten that gentleman." Raul walked to Linde at this time and reminded: "He should be the only son of Lord Caswell, the future Baron of Bitterbridge. You will make Lord Garland very embarrassed. "."

  Faced with Raoul's concerns, Linde just smiled and didn't take the matter to heart at all.
