Chapter 6
Kerton and the others were having combat training outside the castle. At this time, Kerton and Becky were fighting fiercely.
Seeing the two’s fighting skills, Locke became interested. Because the moves they were training were exactly in the revised fighting skills of Athena.
“Becky, Master Locke is looking at us. Now it’s a good chance for us to perform well. Let’s show our strongest moves.”
Kerton’s eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
Becky nodded solemnly and chuckled, “Come on, let me learn the level-1 fighting skill of your practice!”
After saying that, Becky roared and took the lead in attacking Kerton with his long saber.
Kerton looked calm and his long sword was placed horizontally in front of his chest. With a careful look, the long sword emitted a faint light.
When Becky was only five steps away from him, he moved and the long sword quickly swept across, the sword shadow overlapping.
After the collision of weapons, Becky was kicked out by Kerton.
Kerton put away his sword and walked forward to pull Becky up.
“No wonder it’s the level-1 fighting skill.”
Becky stood up and sighed.
After saying that, he looked at Kerton with admiration. “You have practiced the fighting spirit. You are about to become a level-1 practitioner, aren’t you?”
“At present, I can barely gather fighting spirit on the sword, but I can’t release it as freely as Kotter.”
Kerton said modestly with a smile.
“Congratulations! Kerton, you’re going to be a practitioner of level 1.”
Locke walked towards the two and said to Kerton with a smile.
Kerton bowed to Locke and said, “Thank you, Master Locke. I will continue to work hard and become your level-1 knight as soon as possible.”
Locke nodded with a smile. He thought of the flaw mentioned by Athena and then said slowly, “Kerton, it’s a good move. But in my opinion, there is still something wrong. The flaw is too obvious.”
Kerton’s face froze. Although he respected Locke very much, he was still not convinced by Locke’s question. He retorted, “Master Locke, this move of streaming swordsmanship has been tested by countless predecessors. It can be said that it has been thoroughly practiced. How can there be any flaws?”
“If you don’t believe me, let’s have a try.”t
Locke said confidently.
Kerton hesitated, afraid of hurting Locke. But when he saw Locke’s confident face, he nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll control my strength. I don’t use the fighting spirit.”
Locke took the long sword from Becky and recalled the shortcomings marked by Athena silently. He smiled and said, “Come on.”
“Master Locke, watch out!”
Kerton quickly approached Locke, constantly changing his moves, and finally swung his sword at Locke. But he was worried that Locke might be hurt, so he didn’t use the fighting spirit in his sword move. His momentum and power were much weaker than before.
Locke’s eyes narrowed slightly and quickly looked for the flaws mentioned in the book. In the past, even if Locke knew the weakness, it would still be difficult for him to seize the opportunity to fight.
However, after using the body refining fluid, Locke’s sensitivity and strength were greatly improved.
Finding the chance, Locke took a step back and stabbed the sword at Kerton’s chest. Kerton was well prepared, his body slightly sideways and directly dodging the long sword.
Now!
With a slight smile at the corners of Locke’s mouth, the sword tip instantly changed its direction and hacked horizontally. Then his body spun. After landing, Locke lowered his body angle and lifted his long sword upward from the left.
Kerton panicked immediately. When he came to his senses, the sword had already reached his throat.
Becky and the others were also completely stunned, and the whole scene was very quiet and weird.
“Now you believe me, don’t you?”
Locke coughed and put away his sword.
Kerton swallowed and nodded stiffly.
Looking at Locke, Kerton’s eyes were full of shock and undisguised admiration. “Master Locke, so many people who practice swordsmanship haven’t found any flaws. You can see it at once. You are really a genius!”
The others also looked at him with admiration.
Seeing the eager look in Kerton’s eyes, Locke knew that he had to explain, so he shook his head and said, “It’s not me to find that. There is someone else who is talented.”
Someone else?
Everyone’s face froze. Kerton patted his head and asked, “Is Master Locke talking about the strong man who appeared two days ago?”
Kerton’s words enlightened everyone. Yes, Master Locke was rescued by a strong man two days ago.
Seeing that everyone was guessing, Locke stopped playing the riddle and said directly, “It’s Athena who found the flaw. Not only had this move, but she also found the flaw in other fighting skills.”
Locke handed the book on fighting skills to Kerton.
“Miss Athena?” After a short pause, he smiled and said, “Master Locke, are you kidding me?”
These two books were level-1 knight fighting skills. They had also practiced according to the books. However, except for Kerton practicing the fighting spirit and barely using a few moves, no one else could use them at all. It could be seen how complicated these fighting skills were.
But now, the master told him that the two books of fighting skills had been revised by a young girl. This was impossible!
It seemed that the master still didn’t want to expose the strong man’s identity.
Thinking of this, Kerton opened the book.
Yes, the man was very serious.
Looking at the notes beside the fighting skills, Kerton smiled in his heart. He thought that even if the man wrote nothing, he would praise a few words.
However, as he continued to read, his face became more and more serious. At last, his hand holding the book began to tremble slightly.
“Is this really modified by Miss Athena?”
Kerton widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice. Although he only saw two revised places, he was convinced.
“Yes.”
Locke nodded.
The two men, Becky and Sam, saw that Kerton was so shocked, and the two of them also came over. After reading the notes on it, their faces became serious.
“Master Locke, I’m afraid Miss Athena has an unusual background to be able to find out the flaw in the level-1 knight fighting skills so soon. Maybe she is the successor of some big shot!”
Taking a deep breath, Kerton suppressed the shock in his heart and murmured. Athena was not an ordinary person just by her insight.
Was the wolf king of level 1 defeated by Miss Athena?
The three of them suddenly came up with this idea, but it was instantly extinguished by them. The one who could defeat the level-1wolf king so quickly must be a practitioner of level 2 at least.
At most, Miss Athena was about the same age as their master. They didn’t believe that she was a level-2 practitioner.
She was not a successor of some big shot. She was a god, a true god!
Looking at the shocked faces of the three people, Locke couldn’t help but feel funny. But he still said, “No matter who she is, she won’t do anything harmful to us. Okay, you can continue to study it.”
Then Locke went back to Athena.
When Locke came back, the manual in Athena’s hand had left the last few pages.
…
“Interesting…”
Ten minutes later, Athena put down the book. It seemed that she still wanted more. “Although I have a certain solution to the magic, the level-2 magic is still too weak. Do you have a more advanced magic book?”
‘Is level-2 magic too weak?’
Locke was speechless again in his mind. The level-2 mage was not everywhere who was still popular to be drawn into sides by the noblemen in the Grimm Kingdom. Surprisingly, it was disliked by Athena. But on second thought, he agreed it was no problem. Level-2 mage really couldn’t attract the attention of a powerful god, like Athena.
“With my ability, I can only get two level-2 magic books now.”
Locke shrugged his hands and replied shyly. He spent a lot of money to buy these two level-2 magic books.
Seeing the disappointment on Athena’s face, Locke knew that it was time for him to show his ability. Although he didn’t have a high-level magic book, his magic theory was indeed quite rich.
Therefore, Locke told Athena in detail from the beginning of the magic, the principle of the magic release, and finally to the profession of mage.
For example, the levels of mages, the mage had a total of 10 levels. The level-6 mage could also become a grand mage; the level-7 mage was a tutor mage; the level-8 mage was a grand tutor mage; the level-9 was a holy tutor mage; the level-10 was a god mage.
The five major branches of magic were metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Most mages majored in the five major branches. There were also some special magic branches, such as ice, thunder, darkness and light, which were rare but powerful.
In addition to the mage, Locke also briefly introduced the other professions in the Icacia Continent to Athena.
The levels of the warrior, swordsman, holy knight and so on were the same as the mage. Among them, the warrior, swordsman and knight were mainly practicing fighting spirit. But the key point of practice was different among the three.
Swordsmen who practiced fighting spirit also paid more attention to the swordsmanship training. Warriors refined their bodies with fighting spirit, the king of close combat. As for the knights, they could fight and defend with the mounts.
Whether they were a mage, warrior, swordsman, or any other extraordinary professionals, they were all called “practitioners”.
At this moment, Athena was like a girl next door, listening to her elder brother’s story of the wonderful world outside. Her eyes flickered with curiosity from time to time.
Half an hour later, Locke had spread the basic knowledge of the Icacia Continent to Athena.
Judging from Athena’s expression, Locke knew that he had achieved what he wanted.
“Ding Dong~”
“Athena fondness increased by 10 points.”
The prompt tone of the system surprised Locke. Looking at the 20 points of fondness, Locke felt relieved. It didn’t waste his words.
“I have some other magic books here. Although they are all very low level, there are still a lot of interesting things in them. I’ll go get them for you now.”
Seeing that Athena felt fonder of him, Locke decided to strike while the iron is hot and brought some more magic books to Athena.
After that, Locke went back to his bedroom in a good mood.
