Chapter 1403 1375. Ask for advice

A circle of fierce sparks, which are born when steel collides with each other, erupted from the castle's practice field!

These sparks form a spreading circle with unique techniques.

"Hey!"

He used his [Thunder Cat Sword] to block the flannel ball's move, and made a meowing sound of encouragement from his mouth. The three-color fur ball-like body drew an arc, first rising, and then landing smoothly and lightly.

After bouncing twice on the ground, the Sanhua Ellu Cat completely dissipated the remaining impact force.

The objective difference in weight always requires deeper technical accumulation to deal with.

"It's very powerful, nya!"

However, the little cat didn't mean to be discouraged. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and nodded, praising his opponent with great momentum and cuteness.

"I didn't expect it, nya! Miss Maria's body shape can have the power of a hunter!"

The ‘hunters’ that the flannel ball refers to are those hunters in the New World Survey Team.

In the investigation team, almost everyone has plump muscle lines. If the female hunter's strong and plump thighs are stretched hard, the latitude of the muscles after congestion is basically comparable to the waist circumference of a slightly thinner normal woman.

Although, even if normal people develop muscles of the same size as them, they will never be able to freely use super-heavy weapons weighing tons. But after all, body shape is an important indicator of physical strength.

As for Maria, who came from Yanan, her figure seemed to lack exercise in the eyes of Flannel Ball.

It looks like she has fair skin that has never been exposed to the sun or sweat, and even if she wears a complicated inner lining, a suit vest, and a windbreaker on top, her body is not very strong.

Judging from the aesthetics of flannel **** developed in wild nature, it is even a bit unhealthy.

‘But the sword wielded by such an ‘unhealthy’ hand has such a contrast in strength, nya! ’

‘Is this the strategy used by powerful warriors to hide themselves? ’

‘—It’s on fire, meow! ’

Looking at the kitten, whose fur was slightly fried due to excitement, and the two kitten teeth that were exposed when it unconsciously became serious, Maria's plain cheek suddenly tilted.

The swan feather on the three-cornered hat dangled: "I am originally a hunter."

However, as Maria spoke, she looked down at the palm of her hand holding the [Falling Leaf] sword.

The hand holding the knife felt a little uncoordinated. Although it was very slight, for a hunter of Maria's level, she did not think it was an illusion.

‘Technical reasons? ’

Recalling the several blows she had with the calico kitten when she wasn't too serious at the beginning, Maria immediately associated the unique circle-shaped sparks that burst out between the blades with Lan En's body.

Although she was initially wary of Lan En when she was in Old Yharnam, she never really made a move against the witcher.

But she somehow watched the entire showdown between Lan En and Ludwig, two moonlight swords.

At that time, the collision between the two swords was condensed with moonlight. Although there were no sparks from the collision of steel, the blue light spots that floated out like dreamy dust were also shaken into a circle and spread.

"Have a chance, meow!"

While Maria was looking down at her palm, the flannel ball jumped up with great momentum!

But Maria, who started half a beat too slowly, didn't panic at all.

Just a blink of an eye!

With a 'click', the double-headed long knife was broken into two, one long and one short, and the tall and tall beauty in the black windbreaker also turned into a wisp of smoke, and when she reappeared, she had suddenly moved two positions laterally!

The blood-red background on the inside of the one-shoulder cloak is still flying in the air!

The back of the short knife suddenly hit the flannel ball, sending the kitten flying far away. It turned several somersaults on the ground and finally stopped in a crouching position.

The Ember Knights watching the battle suddenly became noisy: "Huh???"

"It doesn't hurt!" But as soon as he stopped on the ground with his buttocks, the three-flowered cat quickly stood up while holding on to his slightly crooked helmet. He immediately raised his head and started to speak harshly.

There were two sounds of "papa", and the kitten patted the small armor on his body with his paw: "It's made of dragon scales! It's okay, meow!"

Ember Knight: "Oh!!"

The Ember Knights cheered thunderously, and the Qilin strolling past snorted disdainfully, blowing out a stream of hot air that had turned into white smoke from its large moist nostrils.

"Huchi~"

Qilin twisted his slender neck and took out a plum from the basket hung by the Ember Knight. He rolled his head up and rolled it into his mouth. His lips wriggled for a moment and then he spat it out, leaving only a hard core.

There was a lot of fun playing below, and the two demon hunters above were also watching.

"Where did you find this woman?" Geralt tilted his chin and nodded at Maria, who was holding her tricorn hat and greeting the knights around her. "Look at that swordsmanship. Tsk, it makes people feel cold."

"After just a few exposures to [Climbing Carp], I can feel that something is wrong with my hand. It would be impossible to achieve this level without practicing for ten years."

Geralt analyzed the confrontation between the flannel ball and the huntress just now, speaking clearly and logically.

He is also very familiar with [Mingren Wei] now. After all, when Lan En was teaching Flannel Ball and Ciri in Kaer Morhen, he also exchanged many techniques with several demon hunters.

"She is also an old hunter. This is not her full strength." Lan En responded easily. "Isn't it normal for me to travel to another world and make a few friends?" "I also want Maria to help teach Lincoln and the others swordsmanship, or [acceleration] or something like that."

Lan En shrugged: "She is in a period of confusion now anyway, so she might as well find something to do."

Geralt paid attention to another point: "Can acceleration be taught?"

The old demon hunter looked surprised. After all, Lan En was not a person who kept secrets about his skills, but he had used the [old hunter's leg bones] a lot to learn the [Acceleration Technique] with his brain and body. of.

I have no idea how to teach others, and I don’t have much energy to think about it.

Maria is different. She is the founder of [Acceleration Technique] and a student taught step by step by Yanan [The First Hunter].

On the high steps at the entrance of the tower, Lan En, who was holding the railing with both hands, had just turned to finish speaking to Geralt and was about to go down to discuss with Maria.

But then he saw Lincoln walking towards the huntress.

So he chuckled and patted Geralt on the shoulder: "It seems like I don't need to worry about it. They are quite enterprising. Let's go, we should start dispensing the medicine."

The two witchers turned and headed back into the tower.

And Maria, who had just finished morning practice with Velvet Ball, also saw Lincoln walking towards her with a smile on his face.

This young man seems to be Lan En's secretary?

Even if Maria comes from the Cainhurst clan who likes nostalgia, the military officer system of the magical Middle Ages is too far away for them, and is far less addictive than the current blood.

So Maria was a little confused about Lincoln's identity and position in the castle.

While he was still thinking about how to say hello, Lincoln had already walked up to him.

Maria could only look down at him quietly.

Lincoln is now 1.8 meters tall, but for the tall and straight blood noble huntress, this is still a height that needs to be looked down upon.

"Greetings to you, Ms. Maria." Lincoln smoothly and freely raised his head to the tall huntress, who was almost half his head, including the hat, and spoke with a smile. "I am the secretary of the Ember Knights and Lord Lan En's personal attendant."

Maria nodded to him while holding the brim of her hat.

"Actually, my Lord told me yesterday." Lincoln patted the strap of the large notepad slung across his shoulder. "He said that you are actually here to rest and recuperate. We are deeply welcome and honored. ”

"Wow!" The flannel ball sat down at Maria's feet and exclaimed, "So you are actually still feeling unwell right now? You are really a powerful warrior, Maria!"

"No, my recuperation has nothing to do with my physical condition. It is just to eliminate hidden dangers." The huntress first lowered her head to explain to the kitten sitting at her feet, and then looked at Lincoln.

"That's it." Lincoln said what he said as if he just knew it, but there was no surprise on his face. He just kept smiling, "Then you need to move regularly during this recuperation. I think your long sword is a bit different from ours. resemblance."

As he spoke, Lincoln pressed the long elf sword on his waist again, and showed the blade of the sword, which was only hung by a wide leather belt without a scabbard, sideways to Maria.

The shapes of the long knives with smooth lines are actually very similar in general. If it were not for a divinely crafted weapon like Alondette and a drawing personally designed by the God of Craftsman in the world of Arda, the subtle differences would not actually matter. How to get in the way.

Lan En also talked to Maria before, saying that it would be best if she could teach his knights.

So Maria reacted easily at this moment, and there was no rejection.

When she was in Yanan, she often guided the new hunters. That's why Henrik still remembers her and cannot forget her as a 'dead person' even after decades.

While Maria had already promised in her heart, Lincoln was still mumbling.

It's like saying, 'We are all a bunch of rough people, and that's what the Sintra people are like'.

‘Instead of using swords, we used to prefer warhammers and axes, just like the Skellige Islands. ’

‘When the war was defeated by the adults, many of us in this group were addicted to the sword. ’

'Unfortunately, even if I practiced with all my strength, I couldn't achieve anything good. On the contrary, several people who couldn't control the swords injured themselves when they swung them. ’

‘Now I can see clearly that it is better to practice with long swords. ’

When talking about other things, Maria just nodded politely, out of courtesy, but was not really interested in listening.

Until Lincoln said the last sentence.

"You said...a war?" Maria looked down at the young clerk, "He led you to fight a war?"

As she spoke, the huntress turned her head, and her eyes under the shadow of the hat brim looked at the main tower of the castle, and then looked down at the velvet ball sitting there obediently licking her little paws.

"Meow?" The kitten tilted its head in confusion, then quickly waved its hand, "Don't look at me, I hadn't become a follower cat at that time, meow! I don't know what's going on."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Velvet Ball hasn't come yet at that time." Lincoln responded at the side. He looked at Maria's curious and questioning eyes, and his polite smile suddenly became more eager.

"Only us old guys have experienced it ourselves. Do you want to hear a story?"
