Go check out every race in the borderlands, and I think you won't be fooled next time."
"Ah?" Michaela's eyes were dull and she looked incredulous.
"I have protected you too well. If this continues, your knowledge will not grow. No matter how perfect your etiquette is, it will only be a nice-looking transcript.
I want you to experience what it's like when no one knows you."
"Okay, I see."
Michaela was so sad that he had no tears. If he had known the consequences would be like this, he would never have gone to see Chapolili.
He nodded and asked, "So where do you think I should go?"
"First go to the volcano, then go all the way down to see what the villages near the royal city look like, then see the people in Stonewell City, then go to the village of Gaileed. If you have time, go to the Weeping Peninsula once, otherwise forget it."
Roland arranged a route for him, "Even if you are traveling all the time, you should use your eyes to see more and witness everyone's condition."
"I understand." Michaela sighed slightly, "I'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Well, take a good rest today."
After seeing Michaela off, Roland and Di Xi walked back from the portal.
Chapter 23 Instructions
Outside the room with the portal, the lights flickered, stretching the shadows of the two people very long.
Roland stopped, held the girl's hand, and said, "I'll trouble you again tonight. Can you please notify Death Black Blade to let their team follow Michaela for a year and come back after a year?"
"Your Highness, are you really going to do this?" Di Xi frowned and shook his head. "You may have to fight against the Two Fingers and Radagon next. They are both very valuable fighting forces. I don't think... His Highness Michaela needs protection. He is a demigod."
"He's my brother."
Roland finally understood Marika, because she had been trying to get people for him.
From Black Knife to Rodel Knight.
Di Xi was silent for a moment, but still shook his head and held his hand.
"Three, three at most."
"......Okay." Roland thought about it carefully. Michaela was a demigod after all, proficient in various golden tree prayers, and had three black swords of death following her. Even if something happened, she would be able to protect herself temporarily. Not to mention that with the golden tree, Michaela would definitely not die.
He nodded. "Excuse me for going. It's so late. I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, I understand." Di Xi turned around and entered the room with the portal again.
Watching her figure disappear in the blue and white vortex, the blond young man leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
The sounds of the Cuckoo Knights patrolling could be heard, their boots hitting the stone slabs and their armor rubbing against each other.
While waiting for Di Xi, Roland felt a familiar step.
He opened his eyes and saw Blaze on the other side. Brother Wolf was carrying a huge sword and had a slightly surprised expression on his face.
".....Roland, why are you here?"
He could feel that Brother Wolf wanted to call him "Your Highness", but finally stopped himself from speaking.
Roland shrugged. "Waiting for someone. But you, why are you still not sleeping so late? Do you have a mission?"
"There's not really any mission, but I couldn't sleep, so I thought about practicing sword skills." Brother Wolf stood side by side with him.
The two men were similar in appearance, so there was no sense of incongruity, and they were talking about the use of the greatsword.
Ten minutes later, the portal lit up slightly, emitting white light, and a girl in black sword armor appeared in front of the portal. She saw Roland chatting happily with the half-wolf Blaze.
Simply think about it, you can't be invisible.
Blaze had seen her before, but he didn't know she was Black Blade, who had the ability to turn invisible.
She went straight to Roland's other side, put her arm around his, and greeted Blaze as a courtesy.
Brother Wolf's expression froze, but he didn't think much about it. "Since the person you're waiting for has come back, I'll leave."
"It's okay. Aren't you going to practice swordplay? We just did it verbally. Do you want me to teach you?"
Roland didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to teach Brother Wolf. It was really not easy.
The half-wolf Blaze's eyes lit up, and he turned his wolf head, revealing his bright red tongue, and asked.
"Really?"
"real."
Roland was still willing to teach others. Di Xi didn't need him to teach him how to use the dagger, as Black Knife was a top assassin in his own right.
It would be nice to be able to teach Brother Wolf a lesson.
Di Xi had no objection. He followed Roland and spoke softly, making sure Blaze couldn't hear him.
"It's all done."
"That's good, thank you for your hard work."
"Honey, won't you give me a little reward?" Di Xi leaned over to his ear and breathed, her eyes seductive. "You're not even going to practice swordplay with Blaze. You can forget about sleeping tonight."
"I'll do whatever you say." Roland held her hand and followed Wolf Brother.
The magic academy is a bit decadent late at night. If there were a few more zombies, it would feel like a game.
The three of them found an empty classroom. Almost all classrooms were empty at that time.
Brother Wolf went out of his way to get another greatsword, threw it to Roland, and spoke.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Your Highness Godwin."
"Just a little thing."
Roland stretched out his hand to catch the sword. He was able to throw the giant sword with one hand. Brother Wolf was very strong.
This thing feels very heavy in Wolf Brother's hand. You can see the muscles in his hands bulging. It is obvious that he has mobilized the strength of his waist to throw it.
In his hands, it was no different from a toy, as if it was not made of cast iron, but a huge piece of foam board.
It looks a bit like a COS prop, but the texture is definitely not fake.
Before the time travel, no one could use this sword. It was just a piece of fitness equipment. The techniques used were of course different from those of the two-handed greatsword used before the time travel.
Roland held the hilt of the sword with one hand and observed it carefully, and found that it was almost exactly the same as the greatsword in Brother Wolf's hand, but the pattern was slightly different.
The royal greatsword.
Brother Wolf’s giant sword must have been modified by himself, and it comes with the combat skill Wolf Attack.
He waved his hand casually, and the sound of breaking air was endless, which made Wolf Brother's eyelids twitch.
As expected of Godwin, the giant sword in his hand is no different from an ordinary long sword.
The half-wolf Blaze's expression gradually became serious, and he held the sword with both hands, "Your Highness, I am going to take action."
"Come on." Roland waved his hand casually.
It's just a guiding competition, there's no need to take it too seriously.
Facing the werewolf warrior's sudden attack, he gently raised his wrist, crossed his arm, and held the giant sword upright in front of him like a door panel.
"That's a big flaw in your attack, Blaze."
With a clang, the two giant swords collided with each other. Roland's sword did not move at all, but Blaze's sword made a buzzing sound.
He used the momentum to jump and slashed from mid-air, aiming at Roland.
"The wider the attack range, the more flaws there are. After finishing a set of attacks, you will stop for one or two seconds." Roland's sword was like a tide, never stopping for a moment.
Blaze was so exhausted from responding that he had no chance to speak. In less than half a minute, he could no longer keep up with Roland's sword.
The next moment, the huge sword was pointed at his neck.
Blaze knew that there was a big gap between him and Roland, but he never thought the gap would be so big.
His smile was a little bitter, "I lost."
"Try again." Roland patted his shoulder and took back the sword. "When you draw your sword, you must retain 30% of your strength. Don't be stiff. When you jump up, it is very likely that the opponent will dodge when you land, and that will become your weakness."
"Yes, I'll try."
The half-wolf Blaze nodded, raised his sword with both hands again, and started the second duel with Roland.
He began to try to imitate, how to control his strength better, how to draw the sword better, every angle, every detail was captured in his eyes.
The outcome was not surprising, we lost.
But, Blaze felt that he had learned a lot and took a deep breath.
"Thank you for your guidance."
However, there was a sudden sound outside the door. The three people looked over and saw that Di Xi was the fastest. He dodged and flipped out in an instant.
She turned around and said, "It's okay. It's just an unfamiliar magic apprentice. It's not a big deal."
"That's fine." Roland didn't care. He was just a magic apprentice and he didn't see anything he shouldn't have seen. It was just him and Blaze practicing swords.
He handed the giant sword to Brother Wolf and said, "Let's stop here. It's getting late. I have to go back."
Chapter 24 Black Sword
"Thank you again for your teaching, Your Highness Godwin."
Blaze, having gained much from the two contests, held two great swords and bowed to him.
Roland waved his hand. "It's nothing. You are Lani's sworn brother. My guidance is just a help to you. Your swordsmanship will become stronger sooner or later."
"No, that's not the case. With your demonstration, I have a clearer path to follow."
Blaze saluted Roland again, standing straight, clenching his right fist, pounding his chest, and bowing.
Even a wolf head could tell how much respect he had for Roland. Originally he only respected Godwin's identity, but now he was impressed by his personality.
Those who are capable of teaching swordsmanship are not ordinary people. It is very difficult to get guidance from such people, but Godwin taught him easily and demonstrated for him personally.
Although I had heard that even street kids would ask for advice from Godwin, I didn't expect that he would actually give serious guidance.
No wonder those Rodel soldiers and knights love Golden Godwin so much.
Brother Wolf sighed inwardly, watched Roland and Di Xi leave, picked up the sword again and started practicing.
--------------
Royal City, Rodel.
The beast in a gray robe was walking on the street. There was no one around, no one was walking.
As spring arrives, the snowpack begins to dissipate.
Not only did the weather not get warmer, but it became even colder. The streets and alleys were filled with water from melted ice and snow, which slowly gathered into the sewers.
He looked up, at the dim golden tree, and headed in the direction of the palace.
Not far away, a team of patrolling Rodel soldiers spotted him. They looked at each other and finally focused their attention on the leading Rodel knight.
"Why are you still on the road so late at night? Excuse me, we have to ask a question as a matter of routine."
The man in the gray robe simply raised his head, revealing a beast-like face.
The soldiers around were stunned. They knew the existence of the beast. Gefulei's prime minister was a lion, and Marika's sworn brother was also a beast.
However, unlike the Lion Prime Minister, not many people have seen the beast before them.
Fortunately, Knight Rodel recognized his identity, stepped forward and asked.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to find Marika." The beast said this and continued to move towards the palace.
Now no one dared to stop him.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed.
The environment in the queen's boudoir was still dim and filled with books.
Marika, the Eternal Queen, sat on the edge of the bed wearing a coat that covered her shoulders and skirt.
She held the Golden Law and the research on the Golden Tree in her hands, looked at the Black Knife Leader Aleto who had a playful look on his face across from her, and asked.
