Journey to the Half-Elf Plane

Chapter 14

Loki did not show any stage fright. He pulled out the short blade inserted on the wooden table with both hands. He first carefully touched the blade of the long dagger, then held the handle loosely with one hand and tried to use his wrist to dance a few times. lock up.

The half-elf boy said seriously: "I'm warming up."

But in his heart, he was calculating the time that could be delayed. It was probably less than 3 minutes, but he was confident that he would use these less than 3 minutes to prepare better.

"Ultron, use all your free computing resources to carefully analyze the movements you just recorded, and clearly mark the key points of joint and muscle force in red fonts. I'll give you 2 minutes."

"It can't be done, Master. More computing resources are needed. The countdown for this task is: 671 seconds."

"Stop the sonic system optimization resources first, and let me devote myself to the current task."

Loki scanned the changing countdown on his retina with his peripheral vision. It was 29 seconds. After a while, the image was processed and had been projected on his optic nerve. Through his consciousness, it also had the functions of acceleration, deceleration, zooming in and out, etc.

After warming up properly for 3 minutes, the half-elf boy nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'm ready. Although I may be slower, I want to tell you that I remember every one of your words." action."

"I can't wait. Arrogant little half-elf bastard."

Olivia spread her hands and said, imitating the half-elf boy.

After a moment, Loki began to wave the short blade in his hand, and the sharp cold light flashed across his eyes. His movements would inevitably make people look a little unfamiliar, because he was much slower than the female dwarf.

What's surprising is that the overall sequence of his moves, as well as the essentials of slow power-generating movements, one after another, almost mostly replicated Olivia's use of the short blade.

The shoulder was turned violently, and the sharp short blade was cut out with the backhand. Before the strength was exhausted, the wrist was turned sharply, and the tip of the short blade was thrust downward.

While Loki was visually watching the slow-motion action frame by frame, he was also paying attention to the short blade in his hand for comparison. He could personally feel the sharpness and practicality of these killing moves.

Duncan's round eyes widened, and his slightly opened mouth fully reflected the tauren's inner shock. He undoubtedly knew the female dwarf companions he usually got along with very well. Although it was the first time for him to see such slow dwarf dagger skills, these moves made him He is very familiar with it.

A layer of sweat broke out on the half-elf boy's forehead. After imitating all the movements, he also inserted the short blade on the wooden table.

"I have to say, little Loki, you really surprised me." Olivia clapped her hands in a rare move and said with a smile: "But knowing these is not enough. First of all, forget about the action just now. Using the dagger is not enough." It’s not just copying, you also need to learn from the basics.”

The female dwarf finally recognized Loki a little. She began to demonstrate in detail the most basic methods of using a dagger, correcting Loki's wrong habits bit by bit. From the legs to the waist, shoulders and arms, there were strict force movements. Fluent specification.Of course, Loki would not waste such a good opportunity. He listened and learned with concentration while recording backup with visual video.

"The dagger skills you have learned are only the most basic professional skills - primary dagger specialization. Of course, they also have some characteristics of dwarf dagger skills."

Loki asked in confusion: "Professional level? Elementary dagger specialization?"

"Yes, the professional skills that ordinary people can learn are also called basic skills. Similar skills include sword specialization, bow and arrow specialization, etc. These are just some basic skills for using weapons."

"Of course, even basic skills cannot be tried on everyone. Just like you, your body is not strong enough and you cannot learn basic skills that require strength such as ax specialization."

Loki asked the topic he was most concerned about, "Then how can I become a professional and practice this dagger specialization every day?"

Olivia shook her head and said: "Your current ability can only be called a first-level apprentice. Apprentices are divided into five levels, from 1 to 5. Every time a certain attribute of the body breaks through the limit, the apprentice will increase by one level. You To become a professional, you need to break through the extreme agility and flexibility four times.”

"This is the summed up experience of all humanoid races in the mainland. Only by breaking through the attribute limit four times can you feel the power of blood and become familiar with the power of blood inside the body. Then you can be a true professional."

"Of course, these are too far away for you. You need to learn the basic dagger specialization now, and then add more food. Only when you become an adult can you have a chance to become a professional."

Loki's face was uncertain. It was like a difficult and unknown broad road was before him. The unknown represented fear, but did he still have a choice?He is just a half-elf beggar who has to grab any straw that floats on the water.

In addition, he also thought of a violent and cruel face, Quaid. It is said that he is a professional who failed to advance, but even if he faces the cruel leader of human trafficking, he has no power to resist now.

Olivia snapped her fingers, interrupting the half-elf boy's thoughts: "This is our deal. I will tell you the professional information and the direction of your efforts. The deal is completed."

"Yes, but I would like to ask some questions about junior dagger specialization later, is that okay?"

The female dwarf waved her hand casually and said, "It's up to you to push further."

A smile finally appeared on Loki's face. Under Olivia's impatient gesture, he quickly said goodbye to the two of them and left.

Tauren Duncan frowned and said in confusion: "You obviously like him very much, why don't you keep this kid?"

Olivia sat back on the chair and said in a slow voice: "Do you remember our mission here?"

Duncan nodded and said, "Well, let's investigate what happened here and see if it was caused by an evil witch."

Olivia continued, "We only have 20 days. Although we are not sure whether there are evil witches in Fog Castle, it must be very dangerous this time. If he is still alive when we leave, I will consider taking him away."

……

The foggy sky was getting dark, and Loki was walking on the way back to the shabby house.

Loki was quite satisfied with the latest news about professionals. At least the questions that had troubled him for so many years were answered. However, he was faced with a new problem. The biocomputer already consumed enough biological energy. If he wanted to lead the way to A professional has achieved something on the road, but at least he can't stay hungry all the time.

He used the money he stole today to buy some cheap food along the way. He kneaded the black bread into small, compact dough, and then found a cloth bag to pack them together. As for the taste, he had already known it for a long time. It doesn't matter anymore.

When he walked to the outskirts of the broken house, Loki saw another familiar figure. He was a beggar from the seventh house. It seemed that he was going to bring food to the injured Kalei. After discovering that Loki was observing him, he quickly Afraid of walking by with your head down.

"Boss Kalei, when I came back just now, I saw the half-elf in the third room."

In the shabby house, Kalei was lying on a broken bed board eating a piece of bread. When he heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "That bastard half-elf, sooner or later, I will crush him like a bug."

The other beggars in the seventh house were also very angry, but thinking of the corpses on the ground that day, the beggars were even more frightened, "Boss Kalei, that guy is very powerful."

"You killed any of us without blinking an eye. How about you wait until you recover from your injuries and then teach him a lesson yourself?"

Seeing the fearful looks of his fellow beggars, Kalei said angrily: "Coward, sooner or later I will let you see how I teach him a lesson."

"... Go and get me some more broth."
