Chapter 10 Invitation
Hundreds of years ago, the Ferro Empire had not yet been divided, and the current Kingdom of Gondor was just a duchy.
Recording.
It was an era of talented people.
Martial ethics flourished and many legendary figures were born.
Among them was a swordsman named Meyer, who was respected as the Sword Master. His swordsmanship was unique in its own way.
Sword Master Meyer first determined the eight routes of long sword slashing. No matter whether the practitioner initiates slashing from any direction, he can maintain himself in the process of transforming from one potential to another.
In other words, you are always in a state where you can switch attack and defense methods at will.
This has never been done before.
The eight routes may seem simple, but when combined, they can produce endless changes, which can lead to many sword skills.
Gale Swordsmanship belongs to this genre.
Hold! (One or two hands, upright or backward)
Stance! (Defense)
Chop! (Attack)
Finally, it is a combat skill that can only be used after integrating swordsmanship!
Karl's forehead was sweating, his body was steaming with heat, and the broadsword in his hand was spinning around him like a whirlwind.
The fierce sword power can shatter everything close to it.
"Drink!"
"Ha!"
Unlike having absolute reason and perfect control in that mysterious place, practicing swordsmanship in the real world is much more difficult.
Fortunately, the previous experience is still there, but the body's strength is a little unfamiliar, and it can still be reproduced with more practice.
“Shua!”
Combat skill - Gale Slash!
Three afterimages appeared out of thin air and cut across each other.
“Huh…”
Karl stopped, with a look of excitement on his face.
“Master the swordsmanship there first, and while your body still has some muscle memory, return to practice in reality.”
“The experience is still there, the memory is still there, even if it is not to the same level. It can also have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. "
According to normal speed, even if he becomes a knight's squire, it will take him more than a month to reach the current state of swordsmanship.
Even longer.
Now,
it is almost possible to stably display three afterimages in a few days, which is no worse than many knight attendants.
“It’s more than that!”
Karl clenched his fingers and felt the strength of his body, feeling the urge to punch through the wall.
“Because it can perfectly control the body, taking the secret medicine there can maximize the absorption of the medicine.”
"The effect of practicing the breathing method is also better."
"If you take the secret medicine here, I am afraid that you will not be able to stabilize the realm of the knight's attendant."
With the help of that mysterious place, In just a few days, Carl has reached the level of a knight's squire in both physical fitness and swordsmanship skills.
Furthermore,
its strength is still in a period of rapid growth.
If Gale Slash can cut out four afterimages, it will not be weak even among knights and attendants.

People are in high spirits during happy events. Even when he has to go to work after the holiday, Karl can still smile. .
The red and white uniform looked a little roomy on his body, but it couldn't hide his high-spirited spirit.
He straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. The coat of arms symbolizing the Bergmann family was embroidered on the collar, which was particularly eye-catching.
Each noble has a coat of arms unique to his family.
The coat of arms of the Bergmann family is the most common clover on the roadside.
Some people say that the clover was chosen because it symbolizes unyielding and tenacious vitality.
Actually it wasn't, it was just because Carl's grandfather was uneducated and too lazy to think too much, so he chose it casually.
If you dig deeper, a real noble heraldry needs feathers, crests, shield areas, flag mottos, etc...
"I am just a small baron, and I don’t have my own yet. Don’t be too particular about the territory.”
Shaking his head, Karl stepped out.
Inspection Office.
"Baron Carl!"
"Hello!"
"Baron, you are here."
"Yes."
"..."
There are very few civilians who can come to work in the Inspectorate, but nobles are still a minority after all.
It has long been spread that Karl has inherited his father's title, and others have become much more enthusiastic when meeting him.
“Karl!”
“Sir Dinah.”
Karl stopped in front of the heroic woman. "At the end of the month, Earl Renekton will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for his son at the manor outside the city, and invites the nobles in the city to attend." Dinah handed over an exquisite invitation:
"At that time, my cousin Martha will also go."
"Huh?"
Karl frowned:
"Sir, I'm really No plans to get married.”
"You can contact me first if you have any. It won't waste much of your time." Dinah said expressionlessly:
"Or are you planning to refuse an invitation from an earl?"
"This ..." Karl sighed and took the invitation:
"Okay!"
"Don't look wronged." Dinah turned the beautifully shaped cane in her hand and moved towards it. He tapped lightly:
"The wealth of Martha's family is enough to match a baron without a territory."
"Yes."
Karl nodded.
He does not deny this.
Farewell to Dinah, a plump figure quickly ran over, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Karl, you are finally back. You don't know how boring I am without you!"
"Kelly!"
Karl smiled:
"I haven't seen you for a while, you've gained weight again."
"Hehe..." Kaili let go and took a step back, scratching his head:
"Not much fatter."
Kerry's father is also a baron, but unlike Karl, he has several brothers and sisters, and the eldest brother is the designated heir to the title.
His title and family property have nothing to do with him, so even though he is an inspector, his life is still tight.
The two of them joined the inspection hall one after another. They were also not well received by others, so they naturally joined the group to keep warm.
“Let’s go!”
Kaili waved:
"Let's go have a drink."
The inspector's job is very easy. He comes here every day to register, and then he can leave in the name of inspection.
Of course.
You must be there every few days when it is your turn to be on duty.
"Have you heard?"
On the way, Kaili whispered:
"It has been decided that the army to attack Coburg will be led by the Grand Duke of Saxony, and soldiers will be recruited again. "
Every marquis and earl has a grand duke who follows him. Once Cambyses dies, the nobles below him will naturally not want to continue to serve after a replacement.
There are not enough soldiers and they will definitely be recruited again.
"Yeah."
Karl had expected this and asked:
"Do you think we will be recruited?"
"Probably not." Kai Li shook his head:
“Even if we recruit from Signo City, we won’t recruit inspectors. Who will maintain law and order if we leave?”
"Same."
Karl felt relieved a little.
Although most of the inspectors are good-looking, they are not always bad-looking.
"But did Grand Duke Cambyses really die of illness like this? He was only in his fifties, which was in his prime for a knight, let alone a legendary knight."
"I heard..." Kaili lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"The Grand Duke was burned to death!"
"Burned to death?" Karl's expression changed:
"The fire thief?"
"Possibly." Carey Nodding, and just as he was about to speak, he turned around and bumped into someone head-on.
“Alas!”
Despite Kaili's fat body, he actually didn't have much strength. He fell backwards after being hit lightly.
Fortunately, Karl gave me a hand, otherwise I would have been covered in mud.
“What’s the matter with you?”
As soon as he stood firm, Kaili couldn’t help shouting angrily:
“You don’t have eyes when you walk!”
The other party was a fair-skinned young man. Hearing this, his face darkened and his triangular eyes narrowed slightly.
Whoosh!
In an instant.
The hair on Karl’s body stood on end, and a sense of fear came to his mind.
Danger!
He subconsciously pulled Kaili beside him and took a step back, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Miles." Not far away, a carriage opened its curtains, and a gorgeous woman waved to this side:
"Come here quickly."< br>
“Hmph!”
The young man’s eyes moved slightly and he snorted coldly at Kaili:
"You're lucky!"
After that, he turned around and walked towards the carriage.
The fat on Kai's chest was taut and his eyes were filled with anger, but he did not stop him and allowed the other party to get on the carriage.
