The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 97 Paladin
After handing over the box.
Alan found an excuse to leave.
Roger was the only one left in the reception room.
He silently flipped through the martial arts secret book, and more information emerged.
…
"Shrinking the penis into the abdomen: the secret technique of the Pingsha School, the founder Black Tiger"
"Features: Suspended on a thread, flexible and can effectively reduce flaws in a duel."
"Advanced: One of the prerequisites for 'No Leakage'"
"Requirements: Comprehension 14/Master at least 2 Qi points"
…
"No leakage? I see..."
Roger suddenly realized.
At first glance, he thought it was some evil way practiced by some cross-dressing masters in his previous life. (Note 1)
But think about it carefully.
How could Master Black Tiger be that kind of person?
"When you see people using sliding tackles, knee strikes, and crotch kicks every day, you will naturally think about how to counter these dirty tricks."
"When boys are out in the world, sometimes they really need techniques like pulling their penis into their abdomen to protect themselves."
"And there's also a post-processing secret technique called 'No Leakage' that looks really cool."
Roger noticed.
Different from other martial arts secrets, "Shrinking the Penis into the Abdomen" shows the "secret technique" of the Pingsha School rather than its "unique skills".
This shows its uniqueness.
…
In addition to "shrinking the penis into the abdomen".
There are two more books in the box.
One of them is a martial arts secret book, and the other is something like a diary.
The martial arts secret book is called "Pulling Onions from Dry Land".
…
"Pulling onions from dry land: Pingsha School's unique skills, founder Black Tiger"
"Features: The Qi flows through the feet, and one leaps and flies. This is a very special explosive power method."
"Requirements: Comprehension 13/Master at least 1 Qi Point"
…
The literal meaning seems to be that it can make Roger jump higher.
Looks ok though.
But it's a little bit worse than shrinking the penis into the abdomen.
The maximum number of martial arts that Roger can currently master is 7.
Excluding upgrades, there is not much space left.
But he didn't rush into making a decision.
Instead, he carefully read through his diary first.
The diary is named "Black Tiger Heart Sutra".
However, the contents recorded in it are not martial arts secrets.
Rather, it is the experience shared by Master Black Tiger after a lifetime of fighting!
The more Roger looked, the happier he became.
To be honest.
Master Black Tiger's handwriting was extremely ugly and crooked, and he had a hard time reading it at first.
But the advantage is that the content is detailed and the essential information is available.
Soon he was immersed in it.
In the "Black Tiger Heart Sutra".
Roger has gained a lot of practical cases.
Even Master Black Tiger was not sure of winning against some of these opponents before the battle.
He not only recorded the process of these battles in detail in writing.
Encounter a situation that cannot be clearly described in words.
He also draws a few simple sketches that are easy to understand.
Master Black Tiger's handwriting is not very good, but his paintings are lifelike.
Roger watched with great interest.
It feels like reading comic books as a child in a previous life.
Just take a quick look at it.
He had a new understanding of what Master Black Tiger had repeatedly said: "Attack when the enemy is unprepared and damage their vital points."
All along.
What Roger did was actually damaging their vital points!
But in fact, in Black Tiger's philosophy, "attacking when the enemy is unprepared" is the top priority.
Thousands of words are reduced to one sentence——
There is no martial arts in the world better than “attacking first”!
In actual combat, the right to attack first is the most important!
When the strength of both sides is similar.
Attacking first is half the battle.
If we can "damage the enemy's vital points" on the basis of attacking first.
That’s basically the winning formula.
…
"You have read the 'Black Tiger Heart Sutra' and have a better understanding of the principles of Pingsha martial arts."
"It has been detected that you have obtained the true teachings of Master Black Tiger"
…
"Your speed of learning Pingsha martial arts increases by 50%."
"The speed at which you master the Pingsha School's martial arts skills increases by 50%."
…
"I feel more and more sorry for the master of music style."
Roger sighed softly in his heart.
His eyes were full of satisfaction.
He put down the Black Tiger Heart Sutra, and before he had time to check the remaining items in the box - loud footsteps came slowly from the corridor.
Roger smiled.
Alan's work is indeed impeccable.
"It seems these things are of some help to you."
After a while.
Alan sat back down and looked at Roger with interest.
“It’s a great help.”
Roger said seriously:
“I think that’s invaluable to any martial artist.”
"Actually, I'm curious why you don't keep it for yourself."
Alan smiled gently and placed his broad right hand gently on his chest:
“My strength comes from here.”
"The treasures of other professions are worthless to me."
Roger narrowed his eyes.
Combined with Alan's mental outlook and style of doing things.
He soon had the answer in his mind:
"Paladin?"
Alan nodded calmly.
Roger couldn't help but stand in awe.
The power of a paladin comes from the oath he made:
Kindness, lawfulness, revenge, abstinence...
Only a holy warrior who abides by his oath can possess extremely powerful strength.
Different from the secular understanding.
A paladin doesn't actually have to believe in a particular deity.
They believe in their oaths.
Since it is so difficult to keep an oath for a lifetime , the paladin is a very rare profession.
In his previous life, Roger had only met one paladin .
As for the Paladin Lord.
He had never heard of it.
After all, it is too easy to break an oath as a lord!
…
"I am a little different from ordinary paladins... but it doesn't matter."
As Alan spoke, he handed over another thick file.
"This is the information about the Sera River that I promised to give you."
"Although the content of the agreement has changed, I will have to show you these things sooner or later."
Roger didn't hesitate and just accepted it.
The six-month agreement he and Alan had made before was as follows:
It all started when Alan found an opportunity to solve the mystery of the Serra River.
He had originally planned to make a trip to the Boundary River in late summer this year.
While he was away.
Alan wants Roger to guard Paramount Manor for him.
The reward is the inheritance of Master Black Tiger.
But now things have changed.
The pressure from the burial ground is increasing day by day.
The original plan was forced to be shelved.
The content agreed upon by both parties also became those discussed before.
…
Roger collected the file.
I also talked to Alan about what we saw and heard in the primeval forest.
The main thing is the movements of the necromancers and the status of the "Monster Control Art".
Until dark.
He slowly left the lord's mansion amid Freya's coughing.
Return home.
Roger discovered that Senluo Farm had undergone tremendous changes——
A place that was originally uninhabited.
Now there are large sheds standing.
People's laughter could be faintly heard.
According to Levi.
During these six months.
Six families have moved into Senluo Farm one after another.
The current permanent population is 62, excluding children.
These people were Roger's tenants.
Not only would they pay Roger taxes, they would also hand over a large portion of their crops.
The warehouse next to the main house is now filled with corn and pumpkins.
These are the products of the hard work of the tenant farmers.
In order to avoid disturbing Master Roger.
Freya deliberately had a large circle of hibiscus trees planted near the main house and the warehouse.
It is now the peak flowering season for the hibiscus trees.
Even at night.
Roger could also see the clusters of colorful flowers.
His mood suddenly became beautiful.
After giving the order to "dig your own holes" to the homeless macho brothers whose warehouses were full.
He went up to the attic in two steps.
Open the wooden box given by Alan.
Under the light of bright candlelight.
The remaining two items also revealed their true appearance.
…
"Self-control (boxing gloves)"
"Rating: None"
"Special effect: When you equip this pair of gloves, you will not be able to perform martial arts."
"Note: Martial arts is a way of killing, but martial artists are not killing machines. Only when they know how to restrain themselves can they become great (Black Tiger)"
…
"Ah, this."
"Master Black Tiger's realm is even higher than I thought!"
Roger admired it and silently threw "Self-denial" into the corner of the crucible.
Then he looked at the last item.
It was a piece of jade with an ancient shape.
Before he could use the Qi-Watching Technique to take a closer look, there was a reaction on the data column.
…
"A rare object detected: Crescent Moon Jade Pendant"
"Should we synchronize our energy and life?"
…
