My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 30 Basic Swordsmanship
Crown opened his eyes, and the golden hourglass shadow flashed in his pupils.

In his spiritual sense, it was already a quarter past one.

He was very satisfied with the effect of the visualization method, and his fatigue had completely recovered.

I don’t know what the use of this decoction is, so I’ll try it after drinking it.

He picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Licorice, astragalus, atractylodes, angelica root, and codonopsis pilosula are all medicines that can replenish blood and qi. As expected, Kroun nodded lightly, then walked out of the room and strode towards the training ground, moving like the wind.

The drizzle stopped, but the weather remained gloomy.

The priest hadn't arrived yet. He took down a thick-backed narrow-edged sword from the weapons rack nearby without opening it.

This is a one-handed sword. It is quite heavy, weighing three to four kilograms.

As he was waving in boredom, Nick walked out of the church.

"I thought you would oversleep. That's good. Your self-discipline is precious."

"Many people have great talents but lack self-discipline and waste their time." A smile appeared on the priest's face, and he became more and more satisfied with this attendant.

In fact, my physical strength has been fully restored and my condition has been adjusted to the best. A shy smile appeared on Crown's face: "Thank you, what I did was not good enough."

Nick added another virtue to his senses: humility.

"Okay, since you have recovered well, let's get started now."

He took out a one-handed sword of the same standard from the weapon rack, and shook out a sword flower in his hand.

"The main weapons of knights are one-handed swords and two-handed swords. Today, we will learn the basic moves of one-handed swords. According to your progress, we will learn cross swordsmanship next. When we master the one-handed swordsmanship well enough, we will learn the two-handed swordsmanship. ."

Crown nodded and thought to himself: 'I don't know what knowledge and skills an exorcism priest needs to learn. The priest is more knowledgeable than I imagined. '

He originally thought that priests such as exorcist priests were just mages who used divine magic, but unexpectedly they were a combination of mages and swordsmen.

"Look carefully." Nick held the sword and came to the center of the training ground. He demonstrated the basic routines of swordsmanship and explained in detail.

"The basic moves of the sword are only thrust, chop, point, collapse, etc., but you must cooperate with your footsteps and arms to maximize the power of the weapon. Only in this way will your swordsmanship have enough destructive power, and you can be considered a beginner. "

The priest demonstrated it three times in a row, and then replaced Crown with the drill.

"The movement is deformed, and the arm is pressed down again."

"The step is too big and the strength of the arm cannot be transmitted to the tip of the sword."

Nick took the trouble to correct the non-standard movements, and Crown listened carefully, thinking about how he could use his strength to do better.

As the sun set, Nick looked at the young people practicing hard in the sunset, and his bright smile could not be hidden.

The amount of training in the afternoon is not inferior to that in the morning, because many times a sudden burst of physical strength is required.

Croun also rested several times, but his physique seemed to be very special. After resting for a few minutes, he would return to his condition, but he was easily hungry and ate twice in the middle.

"It seems like he needs more money for his food," Nick murmured to himself and shouted, "That's it for today. Go back and have a good rest at night. When you get used to the training intensity, we need to learn some knowledge about monsters in the evening. So that we can have better responses in the future.”

There was also a smile on Crown's face. He calmed his breathing and put the sword back into the weapon rack.

[Basic Sword Skills: 66/1000; Level [-]] (You have mastered the basic force-generating skills)

In one afternoon, his basic swordsmanship increased by 66 points of proficiency, half of which was because he had not started and could not improve his proficiency. "You are very good." The priest took out a piece of paper full of small words and handed it to him: "This is a prescription. All the ingredients for drinking are written on it. You are a senior herbalist. You need to prepare these yourself."

Crown took the page with both hands and thanked the priest: "Thank you. Without the careful guidance of the priest, my progress would not have been so fast."

Nick felt even more pleased when he heard his answer: "Go back. Make sure you have adequate nutritional intake and rest time at night. If your gold shield is not enough, ask me to borrow it."

"I won't charge you any interest this time. Work hard so that you can seize the future," the priest added.

"Thank you. If necessary, I will not be polite to you, Father."

. . . .

Crown hurriedly returned home from the church with his trained sword. When passing by Plantagenet Street, he found several donkey carts parked in front of the patrol team, surrounded by people.

Judging from the clothes of those people, they must be workers in the quarry.

Out of curiosity, he stepped forward, grabbed a dark and sturdy short man, and asked, "Brother, what happened here?"

The man turned around and said with a sad expression: "Something evil happened in the quarry. Some workers were brutally killed and dumped in the wilderness."

An old gray-haired worker next to him added: "The internal organs were dug out. We suspect that it was done by some kind of monster."

Could it be a werewolf?
Crown was moved, but then gave up the idea.

Monsters like werewolves are very well-known. They will eat all the meat of their prey, even break the bones and suck out the marrow.

Just having his internal organs ripped out was obviously not the work of a werewolf who was famous for not wasting food.

Crown stopped going to the theater and headed straight home without stopping.

Born in this dark age, if you don't have the strength, you will be knocked to the bone and sucked out the marrow by various monsters.

He remembered what the priest said: the world is becoming more and more spiritually active, and there will be more and more supernatural events.

I am still very weak now, so I must work harder!
There is also a werewolf hiding in the darkness, ready to deliver a fatal blow to himself.

At Mao hour, the sky was thick with clouds and there was no moon.

Crown tried the visualization of forming the Moonlight Seal, but his proficiency did not increase.

He gave up the visualization. It would take a long time for the Golden Light Curse to advance, and he now urgently needed to improve his combat effectiveness.

He was not going to use the prescription given to him by the priest. The ointment could be replaced by the tiger bone ointment he had in stock. There was no need for the decoction to replenish qi and blood. He only needed to eat enough and good food, plus enough golden light spell. When you visualize time, there will never be a loss of energy and blood.

Now, what he needs most is sword practice!

Arriving in the backyard, he moved around in the darkness, stabbing, hacking, and biting
Practicing carefully, a series of insights came to my mind.

Although his body was tired, he enjoyed it very much.

He can see progress with every bit of effort, making him fearless of any hardship or hatred.

When he was hungry and tired, he sat down to eat a big meal and used the golden light mantra to regain his strength.Once your energy and stamina are restored, you can continue to practice the one-handed sword tirelessly.

When frost began to form on the ground in the cold night wind, Croun realized that it was already midnight.

[Basic Sword Skill: 211/1000; Level [-]]

It only takes more than a week to reach the second level of swordsmanship!
