"I don't know who Priul's friend is and how he can master that kind of information." Brutus was lying on the wooden bed in the guest room, holding a brown-covered book that he had taken off the bookshelf before.
Book.
The decoration of the guest room was the same as the rest of the house. In Ibrutus's opinion, although it was not exquisite, it was undoubtedly much better than what he had seen in Tatto Town. It could even be said that even the Violet family
The conditions are similar to those here.
This book "Introduction to Swordsmanship" was recommended to him by Priul, because Brutus had mentioned in a chat on the road that he was not good at fighting.
"This book is more than enough to get you out of the original state of slashing and stabbing in a rigid manner, and don't really think of it as a simple introductory textbook. If you read it carefully, you may gain something of your own.
." Priul said to Brutus when recommending this book.
"If you can learn how to fight just by reading books, then wouldn't the per capita combat power of this world explode?" Brutus looked at the brand new cover of the book in his hand, smiled and shook his head. He still believed that in actual combat,
Learning how to use a weapon is the faster way.
Although his sword skills are only slightly better than Professor Fabrice's before, he has gained some experience after so many battles.
But since Puliure recommended it so, he would still take a serious look at it. Besides, he is also curious about the swordsmanship in this world, and it is not a bad thing to learn more...
Turning to the first page, it read "Introduction to Swordsmanship" - written by Cicero Flavius.
Of course, Brutus didn't know much about this person at all. After all, the name rules in this world seemed to be very confusing. However, this would not have any negative impact. After all, there were only so many people to really know.
He first quickly flipped through the book, which had more than a hundred pages, and then summarized the three parts of the book.
The first part introduces the concept he was most curious about - elements. In this part, Cicero introduces in detail the four elements of wind, water, earth and fire, the performance of people with the power of these elements, and the relationship between the elements.
The theory of mutual restraint between elements. At the end, he wrote some conjectures about the other four elements, namely ice, thunder, light and darkness.
"It seems that because there are so few examples that can be studied, Cicero did not have the opportunity to study it in depth." Brutus felt it was a pity. He also wanted to find out what role the dark element in his body could play.
However, based on the experience of the games Brutus had played, it was not difficult to figure out the rules.
Cicero believed that not everyone could possess the power of the elements, but he did not deny that with experience and opportunity, those who had never possessed the power of the elements could also have the opportunity to use these powers.
Brutus spent half an hour carefully reading how to use this elemental power, but because Cicero didn't understand the principle, Brutus still had little understanding after reading it.
The second part is about introducing basic sword skills, which are not much different from what Fabrice taught. Even Fabrice seems to be more advanced in this field.
"It seems that Fabrice's basic skills are indeed very good." Brutus sighed, "It's a pity that he suffers from bleeding and is destined to be unable to go to the battlefield."
The third part was something Brutus had never been exposed to. This part introduced swordsmanship, so he focused his reading on this part.
After he finished reading it, Brutus closed the "Introduction to Swordsmanship" in his hand and thought to himself: "So the so-called swordsmanship is actually like a rhythm? You can use continuous rapid attacks to force the enemy to use their energy
It was all spent on parrying, but in the end the flaw was revealed because of exhaustion."
"You can also use several powerful blows to interrupt the opponent's offensive, interrupt the opponent's rhythm and then defeat the enemy with one blow..."
Brutus sat up from the bed, then stood up again, gesturing with his hands: "Essentially, it is to let the enemy enter his own rhythm, or to destroy the enemy's rhythm."
"The power of elements only plays a supporting role in this process. It cannot make the battle situation one-sided. But the swordsmanship used with the power of elements will indeed be more in line with one's own rhythm."
"No, perhaps it should be said that swordsmanship is used according to one's own rhythm." Brutus felt that he seemed to understand, "The so-called introduction does not mean simply learning the swordsmanship in this book, but after learning it.
Only by practicing and creating your own swordsmanship can you be called a beginner."
Brutus recalled the previous scene when Priul fought with the red-eyed goblin, and now he understood why Priul was so fast at that time.
"If Puliou's rhythm is fast, then how should I choose my own rhythm?" He felt that this problem seemed a bit difficult to solve. He didn't like to have an exciting and life-threatening battle with his face.
people.
If he had a choice, he would definitely choose to become an archer and hide behind the infantry to shoot cold arrows, instead of rushing to the front of the team with a short sword and a long shield.
This is also the reason why he chose to buy a short crossbow. Since it is impossible to practice bow and arrow in a short time, then he should play with a crossbow that is easy to operate...
"But if you think about it this way." Brutus thought for a while and felt that he could really try this. "If we talk about the settings of dark elements in general, they will definitely mention hiding, assassination and other shameful activities.
."
"For magicians, this element usually represents forbidden magic. If we start from this idea, there should be a high probability that we can find a way forward."
"Let's try it sometime. Anyway, according to Puliure's idea, I have to stay in Sissoko City for at least a month. If this matter is resolved before going to Bukels City, at least one more life can be saved.
s method."
"As for other arrangements -" Brutus turned his attention to the "Introduction to Swordsmanship" he had placed next to his pillow, "You must master the basic swordsmanship as much as possible."
He took out his notes from his backpack, sat down at the desk and started writing - he had to pick out valuable records of what he saw in Sissoko City.
"If someone accuses me of espionage based on these records of mine, I will definitely be unable to defend myself." Brutus looked at what he had written and shook his head with a wry smile.
He turned to look out the window, listening to the patter of rain outside.
If Brutus could stand on the lighthouse at the highest point of Sissoko City and overlook the city, he would definitely be able to see a brightly lit neighborhood - that is where the great nobles live, full of prosperity.
.
But outside this block, there are more places like the Oak Block with only a few lights on.
"If you want to have that kind of ambition, then you have to make full preparations now." Brutus came back to his senses and looked at the notes in front of him, "But do I really have such ambition?"
