Chapter 558: Hell’s Ace Salesman(1/4)
Askatra Mage Tower is a huge venue specially used for advanced combat and shooting training.
A slender elf girl is attacking a strong female warrior who is nearly two meters tall, has unusually developed muscles all over her body, and has a big bald head.
Although there is a huge gap between the two in terms of physical fitness, strength, agility, and physique.
Almost every attack by the former was easily blocked by the latter, and occasionally he was knocked to the ground by a counterattacking fist. A little blood flowed from his eyes, nose, and corners of his mouth.
But she still had no intention of giving up at all, and she even tried her best to grit her teeth and not make even the slightest sound during the entire battle.
That ferocity and strong willpower are enough to put many experienced veterans to shame.
What's more, girls are not just being ravaged by one side.
She used the long sword in her hand that exuded dazzling arcane brilliance to summon a black and gray incorporeal creature exactly like herself. It felt a bit like a shadow or a demon in the form of an elf. They cooperated with each other and almost succeeded several times.
Successfully hurt the opponent.
In addition, the girl can also release some spells during the battle, causing the sword blade to flash with a dazzling light, causing temporary blindness to other people around her. Suddenly, she can use an incredibly powerful jump to directly attack behind her from the side or head, or even in front of her.
He thrust in mid-air with a gorgeous and dexterous gesture.
You don't need to ask to know that this elf girl is the new apprentice Zuo Si brought back from Soldanisla - Girather Liaton.
Most of the unusual abilities she uses in battle come from the Moon Blade, a powerful family heirloom with an enchantment level of 5 that is comparable to an artifact.
As for the female man who is training the girl, it is none other than Sarevok who has been "feminized".
Although in the beginning, Zuo Si would spare an hour every day to personally train Gerath Liaton's sword skills.
After all, if you have such a powerful weapon, it would be a waste if you don't make good use of it.
This is completely different from the idea when training another apprentice Sancho.
In particular, the swordsmanship and sword dance taught by Eilistraee herself are very suitable for a race like elves where dexterity is far stronger than strength.
But the problem is that Zuo Si soon discovered that he might be able to impart skills and experience, but he could not teach his second disciple the most important spirit and will as a warrior.
Because he was not a qualified fighter to begin with.
Although I occasionally choose to fight in close combat, this is just for fun when I am completely at an overwhelming advantage in all aspects.
If it were a terrifying son of god and legendary monk like Balthazar, with Zuo Si's character, he wouldn't even let the opponent get close to him.
Instead, they will constantly use magic and even infinite teleportation sneak attack tactics to kill warrior enemies with little spellcasting ability on the road to charge.
In other words, he does not have the heart to become a warrior.
It is impossible to understand and agree with the spiritual core of "Heaven turns to the left and the warrior turns to the right", knowing that he will die, but still choosing to wield the weapon to chop the opponent without hesitation.
But fortunately, there is still Sarevok, a pure warrior.
Although she used very heavy strikes during training, it was common for her to break bones and cause massive internal bleeding.
But fortunately, it only took a few days to successfully stimulate Guilasse's potential talent.
The endurance and willpower shown at this moment are the best proof.
As for the injured and disabled, as long as they haven't completely died, a powerful magical healing spell can bring them back.
Even if you die accidentally, you can still be resurrected in various ways, so you have no worries at all.
What's more, after witnessing the tragic death of her parents and relatives, the elf girl's heart has long been filled with strong feelings of revenge.
She is eager to become stronger and eager to gain powerful power.
So no matter how cruel Sarevok was during training, Gerath Liaton persisted until the end without any complaints.
Even if he was beaten seriously or even to the point of death again and again.
But the reward is that she is growing at an extremely fast speed, and has gradually formed a style that is more suitable for herself, just like a dangerous battlefield assassin, integrating magic, the abilities given to the holder of the Moon Blade and swordsmanship.<
/p>
Almost every active attack targets the eyes, throat, jaw, heart, kidneys, liver, lower body, ligaments and joints and other parts that can cause death, disability or severe pain.
What's even more frightening is that when faced with the pain that may be caused by enemies attacking non-fatal parts, she often behaves extremely calmly, which can even be described as indifferent, as if she is not the one being beaten, and there is no trace of biological instinct in her eyes.
Fear.
"Where did you pick up this little monster? She is simply a madman!"
Fid, the demon-elf assassin, stared at the two figures on the training field not far away, dumbfounded.
Although she had received quite rigorous training and was even seriously injured more than once, she would never be able to face the pain so coldly and as silently as possible after the injury.
"Her name is Gerathe Liaton, and she is my new apprentice.
How about it, it has great potential, doesn’t it?
After all, anger and hatred are the best catalysts, which can allow a person to quickly complete his transformation.
Especially her inexplicable desire to gain power is exactly the same as Sancho who worked hard to learn magic knowledge and want to control his own destiny.
As long as this state can be maintained, Guilath will sooner or later become a strong man who can influence the situation in Faerûn."
Zuo Si gave his evaluation straightforwardly.
Although the elf girl in front of her is not the Son of God, she may not be able to complete the leap from entry to crossing the threshold of legend in a short period of time like Sancho.
But this almost cruel "cruelness" towards himself has given him qualities that most people will never possess.
"Aren't you worried that this strong negative emotion will destroy her?" Feide asked in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, of course I'm not worried.
Because Gelase has already experienced what true helplessness and despair is, seeing his parents and family members brutally murdered by demons with his own eyes, there is nothing else to lose.
Therefore, she will never be easily destroyed by negative emotions, but will draw strength from hatred and anger to complete self-transcendence.
What I am doing is not promoting some self-destructive tendency, but rather giving her a new meaning and identity in life.
By the way, is there any special news at the Doom Guards’ station in Askatra?”
Feide lowered his head and thought for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "Probably not.
Although the name of these guys sounds a bit scary, they actually do not show any tendency to destroy or destroy, but they just give people a slightly weird feeling.
Especially the actor named Haerdali, who is completely neurotic and does things without logic.
Except for being quite good at performing tragedies, he seems to spend most of the time just observing the surrounding affairs.
I admit that his dual-wielding swordsmanship is indeed quite good, but that's about it.
What I don’t understand even more is that there have been so many dangerous people pouring into Askatra recently, why are you so nervous about the Doom Guards Order?
At least judging from the intelligence collected so far, they are indeed not a particularly threatening organization."
There is no doubt that these words of the demon elf assassin perfectly explain the image of the Doom Guards Order in the eyes of most people.
But Zuo Si obviously would not be deceived by this illusion, and explained very patiently: "No, you don't understand, the scary thing about the Doomsday Guards Cult does not lie in the appearance, but in the dogma of its belief.
That is, being able to derive happiness from death, decay and pain.
Although they may not plan any conspiracy or sabotage themselves, they are very willing to join in and become a promoter.
Normally, this sect doesn't look like much of a threat on the outside, but in fact they are the type that either don't cause trouble, but if they do, they do their best to unleash all their destructive power.
Since its core point of view is that the universe will eventually go to destruction, people who join this organization often have no worries in their hearts and don't care about anything.
Take the actor Haile Daly as an example.
If he meets a person of the opposite sex who makes him excited, he will definitely try his best to show his charm to win the other person's favor.
But the problem is that his purpose for doing this is not to be able to be together with the other person, to enjoy the sweetness and beauty of being in love, or even to look forward to the perfect ending of marriage, childbirth, and completing a life together.
What he really wants to feel is that this beauty gradually decays as time goes by, and eventually the lovers begin to get tired of each other, hate each other, and completely embark on the road of no return.
In short, no matter what the members of the Doomsday Guard Cult do, they do not expect a good result from the beginning.
But I hope it will continue to move in the direction of decline, pain, and destruction.
In the eyes of these guys, the fate of everyone, including themselves, must be destruction. There is no difference whether it is sooner or later.
Therefore, they don't care at all about the lives of their relatives, friends, and lovers, nor do they care whether the world they live in will perish in a terrible disaster.
Tell me, isn’t it dangerous enough for someone with no scruples or concerns?
So when rating a person or organization for risk, don’t just look at what they are doing, but also understand their essence.”
