The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 008 Xia Yin's Secret Technique
In Roger's small yard.
Next to the old tables and chairs found from the grocery store.
Roger handed Dorothy a cup of freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea.
"Thanks."
Looking at the chrysanthemum petals floating in the clay pot, Dorothy's eyes were a little sad:
"In the entire Tongma Town, you are the only one who likes to use chrysanthemums to make tea."
“This feeling is very strange.”
"It's like the last time I was a guest at your house was ten years ago."
Roger poured himself a cup of chrysanthemum tea and said:
"Correction: it was two years ago."
That was when Kane was still around.
As Kane's follower, Dorothy naturally follows Kane wherever he goes.
At that time, she had not yet grown into the long-legged beauty she is now, and her personality was very shy. Every time they met, she would hide behind her brother and watch Kane and Roger talk.
Her conversations with Roger usually lasted no more than ten sentences.
After Kane's death, Dorothy trained herself very hard, and gradually she had no contact with the frog hunters who worked like civil servants.
…
Dorothy smiled silently.
The warm chrysanthemum tea diluted the nostalgia and sadness. The girl sorted out her thoughts and talked about the purpose of her trip.
The Lord's Mansion has officially approved the operation to conquer the corpse demon.
This means that their actions will have the support of the entire Tongma Town.
This is undoubtedly good news that boosts people's morale.
The more important information is that the Lord's Mansion has decided to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the Corpse Demon to reorganize the "Monster Suppression Team"!
Many young adventurers in the town are eager to try and ask how to join.
"The punitive team."
"Well, it's a good time indeed."
Roger responded in a not-too-perfunctory manner.
He didn't care about these things, but he knew that this matter was important to Dorothy.
Dorothy's wish is to kill the corpse monster and rebuild the expedition team.
You know, after Kane's death, the expeditionary force of which he was the captain was disbanded; the only thing left in Tongma Town was a guard team responsible for daily duty.
Anyone who wants to go out to fight monsters will be reprimanded, with the reason being that the fighting teams have been disbanded, so why would they go and provoke those scary monsters?
Now, taking advantage of the remaining power of Roger after he killed the Red Tide Corpse, the Lord's Mansion boldly proposed the plan of reorganizing the expedition team. Naturally, it was not a whim.
The activeness of monsters has seriously affected the survival and development of Tongma Town.
Any ambitious lord would not just sit there and wait for death.
“The timing is certainly good, but that’s not the point.”
Dorothy took a sip of tea, her gray thighs crossed:
"The key lies in whether we can successfully kill the corpse demon."
Roger nodded.
If we reorganize the expedition team, there will definitely be some discordant voices in the town.
Even if they are suppressed now, once we encounter setbacks in the process of defeating the corpse demon, those voices will soon reappear.
After all, no matter which era, there will always be a group of short-sighted people who only care about their own little piece of land.
"This is the information about the Corpse Demon provided by the Lord's Mansion."
"This is the list of the main forces participating in the crusade."
Dorothy placed two documents on the table:
"The crusade is tentatively scheduled for two days later. I will inform you of the specific details later."
"The Lord's Mansion hopes that you will be in charge this time..."
Roger grabbed the intelligence and the list, shook his head and said:
"No need. You're good enough as captain."
"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you."
Dorothy hesitated for a moment, but she knew a little about Roger's character, so she gave up after giving him a few words of advice.
Roger opened the list of main players and took a quick look.
Most of the adventurers on the list are familiar faces.
In recent years, there are fewer and fewer adventurers coming from the plateau, and Tongma Town is actually facing the dilemma of lack of fresh blood.
If we don't clear out the monsters around us, this vicious cycle will probably get worse.
One day, the monsters will invade Tongma Town.
After a carnival of blood and fire.
The place is in ruins.
This kind of script is not uncommon in Mistra.
…
"Hmm? There's a second-ring adventurer?"
When checking the main information, Roger was a little surprised.
He found an adventurer above level 10!
This is absolutely a very rare thing in Tongma Town.
"It's Uncle Terry."
Dorothy introduced him, "You've seen him. He came here from Gem City three years ago. Because of his injury, his strength dropped drastically, so he had to recuperate in the town."
"Didn't the Lord's Mansion look for medicine to treat his injuries a while ago? Now he has recovered his strength and is an 11th-level warrior."
Roger nodded:
"With a second-ring adventurer in charge, it's no wonder the Lord's Mansion dared to reorganize the expedition team."
Dorothy suddenly became a little shy. She hesitated for a while before whispering:
"Actually, there are two... "
Roger raised his eyes, somewhat surprised:
"You're also in the second ring?"
He was not in the habit of observing his friends through qigong, so he did not notice this.
Dorothy nodded proudly.
“That’s really good.”
Roger praised.
If Kane knew that his sister had surpassed him, he would be very happy, right?
While he was thinking this, Dorothy asked:
"Roger, can I know your approximate strength?"
Roger thought for a moment:
"A little bit stronger than you."
Dorothy was a little unconvinced:
"real?"
In her perception, Roger is a Lv8 adventurer.
Roger explained seriously:
"Don't worry, it's just a little bit."
…
After sending away Dorothy, who suddenly wanted to challenge him, Roger had a good meal and then went back to his room to sleep.
late at night.
A candlelight was lit in the quiet courtyard.
With the help of "low-light vision", Roger can see everything in the yard clearly.
At this moment, he was holding a long and narrow knife in both hands.
A wooden dummy for training had already been placed in the middle of the yard.
The dummy was covered with scars, obviously having been used repeatedly.
Roger stood there motionless, knife in hand.
If you don't look carefully, you might mistakenly think that he is also one of the dummies.
A tung leaf fell.
The blocked energy in his body suddenly burst out.
whoosh!
An arc-shaped reddish knife light streaked across the night.
puff!
Puff puff puff…
Dull sounds rang out one after another.
In addition to pieces of tung leaves, there were three more pieces of wood on the ground in the courtyard!
“That’s amazing.”
"With one strike, he cut off the three dummies, just like cutting tofu, no, cutting air!"
“There was absolutely no resistance.”
Roger caressed the Red Moon Sword lovingly.
The blade is as good as new and the blade is solid.
Looks unharmed.
"Using secret techniques on a dummy and building up momentum is a bit of a bully."
“But this move is really powerful.”
Roger was still savoring the feeling just now.
This move is the first form of "Nineteen Moons' Flower" among Xia's secret techniques.
This move requires perfect use of the accumulated momentum.
Many times, charging up energy can bring a great bonus to Xiayin's moves; but in the final collision, the power will be removed by various factors, and the final effect may be greatly reduced.
But with this trick, you won’t encounter this situation.
Roger knew that even if it looked like just the most ordinary accelerated circular slash, the various bonuses brought by the hero's hidden skills made it impossible to ignore.
This may be the most powerful move he has mastered so far!
"It doesn't require practice time. Once you learn it, you will automatically master it. This is the most powerful ."
Roger felt more secure.
…
