"Fist skills?" Major and Ellie asked in unison. How could the Juggernaut family have boxing skills?
"Not bad, boxing skills." The old lady said.
"But I have never heard that anyone in the Monroe family is famous for his boxing skills. In fact, the last boxing saint Guiyi died... let me think about it... 1,700 years ago. Since then, boxing has completely declined, and almost no one practices it today.
Boxing." Ellie said.
"You are right. There are very few people in the Monroe family who practice boxing, because compared with swordsmanship, boxing is more profound and complex, progresses more slowly, and requires higher talent, especially physical fitness, and
Because there are no weapons, the power is less."
That's it. Major understood it clearly. With bare hands and a long sword in hand, he would definitely choose the long sword. Not only for the reasons the old lady said, but also a very important aspect is to make the sword look cool. Especially for Western boxing, holding two fists up
Jumping around is nothing compared to fencing.
"Mrs. Monroe, I have another question," Ellie said. "Since you said that Windosa went straight to find the sword manual after returning home, that proves that he knew where the secret book was, but why he didn't know the boxing manual.
whereabouts?"
"Because after he disappeared, I was afraid that my younger son Jeremy would be like his father and brother. After learning the sword, he would never come back, so I hid all the skill books. Later, when he grew up and got married,
I never mentioned learning the sword again, and I put the sword manual back in Wendosa's room, as a way of expressing my thoughts, but I didn't expect that he would suddenly come back."
"And at that time, I gradually discovered that Misha was an informant sent by the Black Flame Brotherhood, and I didn't even dare to take out the sword manual and hide it."
"I have another question." Ellie said. "Since you are very sure that the Windosa who came back is not your son. I trust your intuition as a mother, but he obviously has all the memories of the past. How to explain this?"
The old lady shook her head sadly: "I don't know."
While listening to the old lady talking, Major was thinking. There was a mystery that had always puzzled him. Why was the soul fire flashing in Windosa's head in Bracken's secret sphere, and why was it given to the old lady?
It was already extinguished when it came out. It stands to reason that the things taken out of the orb of Bracken's Secret Realm would remain the same.
He recalled what Master Bracken had said during the conversation with him. Suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he quickly asked Ellie: "Do you know what a Mind Reaver is?"
Ellie's face changed drastically: "Why are you asking this? How have you heard of this?"
"Don't worry about it for now and answer my question."
Ellie looked around subconsciously, her violet eyes covered with fear, and she couldn't help but lower her voice and said: "There will always be some psychic Yuanli users who can't resist the temptation to explore all the secrets of other people's souls, and specialize in some mind control."
They are called mind seizers due to similar spells. It is said that mind seizers who have mastered the third level of Yuanli and above can not only completely seize a person's mind, but also copy a person's memory and soul... It is really terrifying."
That's it! Major slapped his thigh. "It's true. Mrs. Monroe, the one who came back this time is indeed not your son, because your son is dead. What came back was another person whose memory of your son was copied by the mind-taker."
A person was disguised as Windosa just to obtain the sword manual."
The soul fire in Windosa's head was extinguished precisely because the soul and memory were taken away.
The Black Flame Brotherhood has been coveting the Monroe family's sword manual for a long time, but if it hadn't been for the battle between itself and the skeleton, I'm afraid the Mind Sealer wouldn't have thought of starting from this aspect.
Thinking of this, Major couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"But the sword manual has been taken away, and they don't know the whereabouts of the boxing manual. What do you want to do with us?" Ellie asked. "If it is to take back the sword manual, I'm afraid we are beyond our power."
The old lady shook her head sadly. "Just let it go with the sword manual. The inheritance of the sword master was cut off when Windosa died. It's just that they kidnapped my only remaining son, Jeremy, and asked me to exchange for the boxing manual.
"
No need to ask who they are. There is no one else but the Black Flame Brotherhood.
"For the sake of Isaac being a watchman, please help me." Two lines of tears flowed down the old lady's wrinkled cheeks.
Major stood up: "Then let's go."
"Where to go?" The old lady was stunned.
"Go to your house. Since it was Jeremy kidnapped by the Black Flame Brotherhood, let's start with Misha."
"She won't tell. This woman is very scheming."
"She can." Major recalled the time he tortured the thief who attacked him in the test of patience and absorbed the memory. Misha definitely didn't expect that he would have this skill.
…
"What are your plans?" Ellie looked through the window at Misha who was clearing the dining table in the room. She was bloated and slow in movement, and she was just a completely harmless housewife. If the old lady hadn't called her by name, she wouldn't have been there.
It would have occurred to me that she was actually a member of the Black Flame Brotherhood.
"No plan, just walk in, subdue, and torture." Major's idea is very simple. Members of the Black Flame Brotherhood are not necessarily strong in force, and Misha is definitely not good, otherwise the Black Flame Brotherhood will not take a
The powerful members were sent to the old lady as spies, just for a vague boxing score.
Ellie was quite familiar with Major's simple and rough style, and did not raise any objection. Let the old lady take the lead, and the three of them walked into the house. Simon stayed outside.
As soon as Misha saw them coming in, he quickly brought a pot of tea and some snacks. "Mom, if you don't come back so late, I'm going to find you."
"I went for a walk and met these two guests who had been here during the day, so I invited them to stop by for a cup of tea." The old lady said with a smile, and there was nothing unusual about her expression and tone. Major couldn't help but admire her secretly.
"Welcome again. You guys talk first, I'll go sew, and call me when you want tea." After Misha finished speaking, he walked past Major and prepared to go back to his room.
Major grabbed her wrist, pulled her to the table, and brought her down on the table.
There was a flash of cold light, and Ellie's dagger was pressed against her neck.
"I'll kill you if you scream."
But Misha shouted: "Mom, run quickly."
The old lady shook her head: "I have known your identity for a long time. These two are friends from the Watch. They came to save Jeremy. You know what you said."
"What are you talking about? Mom, I'm confused."
"Stop pretending!" Major put his right hand on her forehead. "I'm in a hurry and won't talk nonsense to you. I'll give you three seconds to decide whether to tell the truth or not. You should know that there is a skill called memory extraction."
Misha's face turned pale. "Mom, you finally discovered it. I...I thought I could live like this for the rest of my life. But extravagant hopes are just extravagant hopes after all. Jeremy's matter has nothing to do with me. Mom, do you believe it?"
The old lady shook her head.
"You still dare to quibble!" Ai Li pierced Misha's skin with a light stroke, and a stream of blood flowed out.
Misha smiled sadly: "Put away the dagger. I am already a useless person and cannot escape from your hands. I don't want to escape either."
Major winked at Ellie, who reluctantly put away her dagger and stood near the door. It wasn't that Major believed her, but he felt that Misha really couldn't escape.
"Tell me, where is Jeremy!" Major let go of his hand and asked Misha to sit on the chair next to him, watching her movements closely to prevent her from suddenly hurting the old lady.
"I don't know the exact location, but I know the local stronghold of the Black Flame Brotherhood. Jeremy may be hiding inside." Misha said, rubbing his wrist.
"Take us there!"
"It's useless, you can't save him." Misha said. "If I read it correctly, you should be at the first level of Yuanli Comprehension, and this high elf lady is at the third level of Yuanli Comprehension.
For this matter, the higher-ups have just sent three people who understand the third level of Yuanli, and you have no chance at all."
"That's something you haven't seen me do before." Major said hard, but he had to admit that she was right. If it were in the past, with his super physical fitness, two killer weapons and the whisper of death,
Being with Ellie, you might be able to compete. But after treating Ellie, not only did her physical condition decline, but her Yuanli strength also dropped a lot. After the last time she killed Haruna in a spectacular way, all her Yuanli was used up.
It took a long time to recover.
His usual style is to be tough-talking, but it is also his style to plan carefully and act boldly. Continue to dig out useful information from Misha's mouth and see if he can find a breakthrough.
He was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
