Chapter 201 012: Core

   Scarlet Fortress, training square.

   "Huh! Huh! Huh!"

   The violent sound of breaking the wind sounded, the cross sword pierced the wind over and over again, leaving patches of light and shadow in the air, and the blade of the sword was reflected brightly under the shining of the beating brazier.

  Heath in a swordsman suit on the square is doing swordsmanship training.

  Although the focus has always been on the field of magic, the improvement in swordsmanship has not fallen in recent years. Heath has completed at least one swordsmanship training and vindictive training every day.

  Under his hard work, the improvement is remarkable:

  "Strength 52.3, Agility 62.8, Constitution 48.6."

  The three knight attributes have reached about 50, especially the agility has reached more than 60. Now even without the help of spells, Heath can have the speed equivalent to the apprenticeship [Greeze], which is really terrifying.

   Soon, after a sword dance ended, Heath retracted the cross sword into the scabbard.

  At this moment, there was a round of applause outside the square.

   "Pattern!"

  Heath turned his head, but saw a middle-aged man standing on the side of the square, his body naturally revealed a heroic aura, it was Robert, the commander of the Scarlet Fortress.

  Heath saluted: "Robert leads."

  Robert smiled puffedly: "Dancing well, this swordsmanship alone can rank at least in the top ten among the existing swordsmanship masters on the West Coast mainland."

  Heath said humbly: "Thank you."

  On the side of the square, there was a weapon rack, and Robert walked over and took a cross sword from it.

  He drew out his sword aura and carried the sword into the arena: "Compare."

  Heath raised his eyebrows: "Swordsmanship?"

  Robert nodded: "Swordsmanship, in accordance with the tradition of knights."

  Heath did not refuse either.

  After saluting according to the etiquette of the knights, the two sides walked back dozens of steps in the square.

   Stand still, Heath holds my sword with both hands, with the blade facing up forty-five degrees, and puts his hands up.

  Robert just stood silly on the spot with the cross sword in one hand.

  Heath raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency?"

  The starting hand is a vital part of swordsmanship. An excellent starting hand can give the knight the advantage at the beginning of the battle, and even directly determine the final victory.

  Robert smiled and said, "You can attack it!"

  Heath frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

  He is the champion of the Arendt Tournament and the well-known black-haired knight of the Kingdom of Hiran. When has he been seen clearly?

  Robert noticed Heath’s unhappiness, but he did not correct it at all. Instead, he continued to add fuel to the fire and provocatively said: "What? Are you going to hatch the eggs there?"

  Heath also didn't deliberately control his emotions, and said domineeringly: "The last guy who spoke out in front of me has become my soul under the sword!"

  Robert continued to provoke: "It's not bad to defeat a third-rate swordsman, right?"

  "You will pay for your arrogance!"

   "Come on then!"

  As a temporary referee announces the start.

   "Boom!" A sound.

  Heath disappeared in the same place. The next second, he also appeared in front of Robert, and raised the cross sword in his hand to cut it down.

  This sword is as powerful as a rainbow, like a lightning that tears through the sky. It has achieved the extreme speed of Heath, and he is confident that this is already the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

  But the next second he found out that he was wrong, and that he was wrong!

  The sword is approaching, and Robert finally moves.

  I didn’t see any special moves or moves he had. He seemed to be holding the cross sword casually against Heath’s cross sword, and the movements were so casual, like a child’s play.

   But it’s such a casual sword, but I can only hear——

   "Clang!" A sound.

  A cross sword flew up into the sky, rotating and falling to the ground, and then thrust into the ground diagonally with a ‘chak’.

  In the square, Heath was empty-handed, his expression dumbfounded.

  Robert is still standing with his sword so relaxed, as if coming for an outing.

  He smiled and said, "How about? Third-rate swordsman?"

  Heath was stimulated.

  But at the same time, he was also shocked.

  He asked: "Can I try again?"

  Robert nodded: "Yes."

  Heath walked over to pick up the cross sword, and then attacked Robert with two swords, but the ending was the same. No matter what starting style or attack he adopted, Robert would defeat it with a casual wave of his hand.

  After the third attack, Robert said: "Let’s stop here, the gap is too big, no matter how many tries, it’s useless."

  This sounded very harsh, but Heath also knew that what Robert said was the truth.

  He put away the cross sword, frowning in thought.

   Robert couldn’t help but ask, “Are you curious where he lost?”

  Heath nodded.

  This is something he couldn't understand. Everyone is a great knight. Although he can't see the specific attributes of Robert, he can feel that Robert is not much stronger than him in terms of attributes, and he is basically at the same level.

  In addition to the power gap, Heath was even more shocked by his moves.

You know, in the past few years, occupying the system, I don’t know much about the swordsmanship of the Heath network, not to mention all over the Western Continent, but he has basically mastered all the swordsmanship of the Dark Tree Sea. Now he is definitely a swordsman. Master, everyone.

  But just now he couldn't see what tricks or swords Robert used to defeat him.

  It was as if he really just swung his sword casually at himself, and then he was defeated, and the use of it couldn't even be regarded as swordsmanship.

  Heath said sincerely: "Please enlighten me."

Robert nodded, and then explained: "You have no problems with the basics, and your strength and speed are very good, especially your swordsmanship. You can see that you have a solid grasp of this aspect, and you should have learned a lot of swordsmanship. ."

   After a pause, he continued: "The real gap between us is in the realm of swordsmanship."

  Heath wondered: "Boundary?"

  Robert said: "Yes, the realm of swordsmanship, the understanding of swordsmanship."

  Heath pricked his ears and waited for the following.

  However, as if deliberately suspending his appetite, Robert did not rush to explain, but suddenly asked: "Before this, I have a question to ask you."

  Heath said: "Please speak."

  Robert asked: "Are you going to use swordsmanship as your core of magic and achieve regular magic?"

  Heath wondered: "Magic core? Rule magic?"

  Robert said: "It seems that you don't know anything."

  His: "."

  Robert then asked: "What do you think is the biggest difference between us wizards and mortals?"

  Heath thought for a while: "Great power? Abnormal physique? Long lifespan?"

  Robert said: "All you are talking about."

   After a pause, he continued: "But the more important thing is time."

"Compared to ordinary humans, we have more time and longer lifespan. These times can allow us to understand and recognize the world more, and incorporate what we understand and recognize into our magic. Among them, establish a set of rules and domains that belong to us."

  Heath seems to understand but not understand.

  Robert then asked: "I wonder if you have discovered that many powerful wizards, especially the stigmata wizards, have expertise in a certain aspect other than magic, such as music, poetry, and sculpture."

  Heath thought for a moment: "It seems to be really."

   Just like humans like to talk about idols, the stigmata level is one of the most talked about topics among apprentices in the Tower of Shadows. Every apprentice can basically treasure the experience of the stigmata wizard.

And when Robert reminded him, Heath thought about it for a while. As he said, in addition to wizards, many stigma wizards also work part-time as musicians, craftsmen, painters, and other sideline jobs. Some of them are even in history. Dingding famous.

  For example, the wizard of the Tower of Order, Barbitos, the master of the West Continent, besides the wizard, he is also one of the best painters in the West Continent. His paintings in the human world are almost invaluable.

  Robert continued to ask: "Why do you think these wizards waste time and energy to learn these messy things?"

  Heath was stunned.

  Robert really asked this question, why? hobby? Too much time, idle and bored pass the time? Do you need a reason to learn?

  Heath shook his head: "I don't know."

  He never thought about this problem.

   Robert said: "This is related to the core of the spell."

  "We all know what magic is? It is nothing more than arranging and combining a group of energy particles according to specific rules and laws to form powerful energy, calling the wind and rain, immortality, and so on."

  He asked: "So where do these rules and laws come from?"

  Heath said: "From the observation of nature."

  There is a record in the book. The original wizards observed nature, observed the burning of flames to simulate fire spells, and observed the falling of lightning to simulate lightning spells.

  Robert praised: "Yes, the basics are very solid."

   After a pause, he continued to explain: "Yes, the magic of wizards is officially derived from the understanding and simulation of natural rules."

   "However, the rules of nature are not limited to these."

  He slashed forward with a sword in his hand, and the space twisted, as if the entire space had been cut open directly.

   Heath's eyes lit up in this scene.

  Because he clearly felt that there was elemental fluctuation when Robert swung this sword just now. In other words, this sword is not swordsmanship, but magic!

  Robert continued to explain: “The swordsmanship of killing an enemy is a rule, music that is pleasing to the ear is also a rule, and painting is also a rule."

  "We can simulate wind and rain, so why can't we simulate swordsmanship? Can't simulate music?"

  Heath was taken aback.

  Robert said: "Use magic to simulate swordsmanship and music, or use swordsmanship and music to release magic, combining the two into one, and build magic with it as the core."

  "Such magic is called regular magic by our wizards, and wizards who are used to such spells are also called regular wizards."
