Chapter 499: Swordsmanship that illuminates the dark age

"Russell was flattered by His Majesty the King's move!"

Faced with the congratulations from King Ares, Russell was indeed a little flattered. The head of a country came to congratulate him personally.

Just ask about this face, who can compare with it!

Count Osclo, who was in the crowd, almost stared out of his eyes. He never expected that King Ares would come to congratulate Russell in person: "I just missed a frost troll, doesn't it matter? It doesn't matter!"

Welim Jinnari, who was mixed in the crowd, was Russell's student, and he originally just came with Russell to have a meal and drink.

Seeing the arrival of his king, he hurriedly ran forward and knelt down on one knee to salute: "Velim pays homage to your majesty!"

"Get up." King Ares said casually, "Study hard with Mr. Russell, it will serve you well throughout your life."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Velim responded solemnly.

After getting up, King Ares, surrounded by Princess Anxia and Earl Merlin, walked with Russell to the side hall deeper in the inner castle.

Russell seemed to deliberately stay a step behind as a sign of respect for King Ares.

But King Ares took Russell's arm and walked side by side, not caring about the huge gap in their identities.

for a while.

Willim was dumbfounded and couldn't help but think in his mind: "This is what a real man should be like!"

Snap, someone tapped him on the shoulder, which made Velim come back to his senses from the shock. He saw that the person coming was the paunchy Marquis Arnaud.

"Boy, you have a good teacher." Marquis Arnold squinted his eyes, with a smile on his increasingly round face, "The nobles in the kingdom used to laugh at you for your whims, but after today, I am afraid that everyone will envy you is you."

Without waiting for Velim to respond, Marquis Arnold quickly caught up with the team in front and followed King Ares and others into the side hall.

Only Willim was left standing in the noisy hall a little dull.

That day, he decided to become a disciple of Russell. He didn't know that he would become a joke among the nobles of the kingdom. After all, Dragon Domain lords could be promoted by becoming apprentices. After practicing as a fantasy beast knight, the knight basically needs to explore the path on his own.

It cannot be taught.

After all, the follow-up route of the knight's way requires the knight and the fantasy beast to run into each other. Outsiders interfere, and the more they interfere, the more chaotic they become.

But Willim held on to a glimmer of hope and resolutely accepted Russell as his teacher.

Nowadays, the cultivation of the Dragon Domain Lord has no clue. His status seems to be accompanied by the rise of his teacher, and the tide has risen. It is a bit whimsical to be promoted to the Dragon Domain Lord by studying under the teacher, but if he worships a dragon knight , where is a future Grand Duke?

"Teacher will become a dragon knight, right? Everyone in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy thinks so... Your Majesty, you think so too, it must be so!"

Velim's eyes sparkled.

At this time, someone came over and patted him: "Velim, why are you still standing there? Everyone has left."

"Where are you going?"

"The merit conference is over, so naturally we are going to attend the buffet banquet. However, His Majesty the King and His Excellency, they probably won't be attending the buffet banquet. That's good. There are no big nobles here, so we can have more fun."

The two young people walked together to the location of the buffet banquet.

On the way, Willim was still immersed in shock and said with emotion: "Your Majesty personally congratulated the teacher, Grontan, do you know what this means?"

Grontan Baimaigen nodded: "I know."

"Then tell me, what does it mean?"

"Dragon Knight!" Grontan said swornly, "Sooner or later, you will become a dragon knight. Killing the frost giant demon is proof of this. This is a monster of the same level as the dragon, a real invader from another world!"

"Will the teacher really become a dragon knight?"

"It goes without saying that the first time I met Your Excellency, I knew that this day would come." Grontan said that he believed it. "Otherwise, how could I come all the way to follow Your Excellency? Only Your Excellency is so majestic." Knights are the ones worth following!”

There was a pause.

He suddenly turned to look at Velim: "Velim, actually, why don't you follow me? His Majesty the King will definitely not mind!"

Velim shook his head: "How can this be done? I am your Majesty's vassal and I will be loyal to your Majesty for generations to come."

"But your territory will disappear soon, so you might as well follow the master and make achievements, and continue to be a baron here in the future!" Grontan said with a smile, "After the master rides the dragon, he will definitely create a new baron! "

"No." Willim shook his head and said firmly, "My biggest dream is to restore my family's territory and restore the glory of my ancestors!"

but.

Somehow, there seemed to be a voice in his heart, urging him to follow Russell: "In the Kingdom of Blazing Torrents, I am just a little transparent, but by following Teacher Russell, I can become the teacher's confidant and create a new Jinnari family!"

The sound just started.

He shook his head, suppressed this thought, and stopped thinking about it.

…

"Your Majesty the King, I can kill Shuangge. In addition to relying on the power of the flying dragon knight and the dragon domain lord, the most important thing is my swordsmanship."

"The swordsmanship that leverages the power of the elements can be said to be the best in the world." King Ares praised, "After I became a dragon knight, I traveled around the world and met countless peerless geniuses, but the swordsmanship is not the best in the world. Genius, I’ve only seen one person.”

"Isn't the dragon knight's swordsmanship also very powerful? He can easily mobilize the power of elements." Russell said.

In the side hall, the tea soup exudes a fragrant aroma.

Princess Anxia, ​​Earl Merlin, Marquis Arnaud, Steward Kunbei and others accompanied King Ares to drink tea.

But no one spoke, but listened quietly to King Ares and Russell chatting about swordsmanship.

"That's different. The dragon knight's sword technique can mobilize the power of elements. It is actually the power provided by the dragon. And your sword technique relies on your own will to mobilize the power of elements. Although the results are the same, the essence is There is a huge difference.”

King Ares said with some regret: "After being promoted to Dragon Knight, the power of the elements can be mobilized at will, but the opportunity to polish the sword skills has been lost."

"That's true." Russell nodded, "Today's knighthood pays more attention to fighting spirit and martial arts, and few people study swordsmanship."

"One has no talent, the other has no patience, and the swordsmanship of the three has little effect." King Ares commented, "Who can be confident in swordsmanship and gain enough strength before leveraging the power of the elements. "

Therefore, the way of swordsmanship was reduced to a minor way and gradually declined.

Russell shook his head and laughed: "This is also the development trend of the times. With the emergence of phantom beasts, flying dragons, and giant dragons, there is indeed no need to study hard in swordsmanship... When we come out of the dark age, it will naturally decline."

"Out of the Dark Ages?" King Ares asked.

"I think that in the Dark Ages, there were many dragon lords, and it was through the help of dragon lords that humans opened up warm lands that they survived the cold for more than five thousand years."

"Well, that makes sense."

"But the Dragon Domain Lord alone may not be able to stop the invasion of the Snow Demon World. After all, although there were not many snow giants in the Dark Ages, as long as one was enough to destroy human civilization." Russell said, "So humans in the Dark Ages , must have the means to kill the snow giant."

King Ares said: "So you think swordsmanship is the means to support mankind through the dark ages?"

"yes."

"Think about it carefully, it should indeed be like this." Having said this, King Ares couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him again.

In Longmian Continent, sixteen is considered an adult, but in his eyes, Russell, who has a green face, is still a teenager.

But it was such a young man who accomplished an incredible and brilliant achievement.

Kill a frost troll!

Even when he first heard the news from the blazing dragon, he was quite surprised for a long time. Although the frost trolls have only appeared in recent years, their power level is the same as that of the snow giants. No matter how weak they are, only dragons and dragon knights can defeat them.

Who would have thought that Russell would stand up and use his sharp swordsmanship to break the gap in power levels and create a miracle.

"Perhaps, this is the reason why human beings have never been extinct in their reproduction." King Ares sighed slightly in his heart.

Under the ice of the dark age, human beings illuminated the light and warmth with their outstanding swordsmanship.

Today, when the frost trolls come, Longmian Continent has given birth to a genius like Russell, regaining the glory of swordsmanship!

"Knights... one after another..."
