She Is Not a Witch: The Knight of the Stormy Purple Leaf

"Look at the sword, Wyatt!"

On the green and yellow grass, a few young men sparred with wooden swords, and they fought fiercely. There were also a few older knights watching, occasionally guiding the shortcomings and mistakes that occurred.

"You have to move smartly, don't stop." The knight with a dark brown beard reminded the two opponents loudly.

On the messy grass, there are shallow cross grids drawn with branches. The pace of the two opponents changes rapidly within their respective cross grids. Because they are using wooden swords, the speed of the two swings is very fast, often within two seconds. To be able to decide the outcome once, and then each step back and start over.

The wooden sword is not firmly held in the palm of the hand, but has a slight surplus. With the swing of the wrist, the blade creates a fan-shaped afterimage in the air, like a dance, giving people a smooth and beautiful feeling.

If there are experienced knights in the western region here, they can recognize that this is not pure swordsmanship, but a skill born out of a saber, which emphasizes swiftness and lethality.

Using chopping chopping and swinging crosswise, the power can be reused when turning, which is labor-saving and fast.

From time to time, the clear sound of wooden swords colliding on the grass, as well as the knight's loud guidance, passed the time unconsciously until noon.

Under the shade of the tree, the young people who had just practiced sword gathered by the bucket, poured clean water, and poured some on their bodies and heads to cool down.

"Huh, my hands are sore." One of them leaned on the wooden stake next to him, not wanting to move.

"I've been numb from the pain, full of blisters." The other responded weakly.

"The knight commander Ludes is too strict. Although he practiced swords before, the amount of training is not so terrible."

"Master Jay Lanen didn't come today, and he got even worse. It feels like he's training us to death."

"Phew, did you guys know the name of this knight commander today? The famous knights and nobles in the western territory don't know his style."

Several young people complained to each other, but this is the time to talk about it. If you really want to protest, I am afraid that few people will respond. They are all from aristocratic families in the western region. Playmates, attendants, grow up together, receive training and study.

This is the most enviable existence among the aristocratic circles in the western region. It is foreseeable that after Jailan inherits the title in the future, they will also become representatives of the nobles in charge of power in the western region.

But now, they are still just 15-16 years old, and they are still far from maturity.

"Have you rested, come here!" Just as the few people were still chatting, the knight commander with a thick voice shouted again, letting the little **** pass.

"Yes, my lord." Several people stood up immediately, answered loudly, and then trotted over.

Ludes was standing by the side of the room next to the training ground, with the door behind him, and he walked in after seeing a few people coming.

The house is very spacious, with small windows on both sides above to allow light to come in, so that it is not too dark. The interior is an open space for training, and there are wooden stakes and sundries on both sides.

"Okay, let's sit down first." Ludes didn't let them stand this time, but leniently let them sit down.

Then he casually pulled out a wooden knife from the shelf beside it. The wood of the knife body was white, it should be cork, and it looked like a crescent moon.

After holding the wooden knife, the knight commander seemed to feel that it was too light, and he moved it in the air several times before he got used to it.

"Today, let's talk about the usage of the scimitar."

"Although you are not required to practice this skill to the extreme, you also need to know its origin and merits."

"In the past, the people in the western territory, whether they were hunters in the mountains or soldiers in the army, used knives. In fact, the use of swords has only happened in the past few hundred years." He first introduced history.

"The reason why it changed is not complicated. The development of armor has greatly reduced the power of knives, while spears and swords that can pierce armor have become popular."

"However, in the remote villages in the western region, you can still see many good swordsmen, and even now, sabers are still used in the western region to refer to warriors. The country's envoy said, "I have 5,000 sharp sabers under my command."

…

"Compared with the knight swords commonly used today, the saber has a great advantage in terms of speed. If you go to the market without armor and run into a few veterans with knives, you have to be careful. If you don't pull it out, the other party will cut off your head."

"I have said so much, you may not feel deeply, so give it a try, Wyatt, come up."

"Yes, my lord." A boy with short silver hair stepped forward.

"Give."

Ludes threw him a special knight sword, and then he took out a saber of similar size.

"Come on." The command is simple and powerful.

"Yes."

Wyatt held the sword in one hand, and did not step forward easily, but after looking at it for a while, he lunged forward.

"Boom."

The blade slashed downwards and upwards, easily cut the blade, then turned around and landed directly on Wyatt's neck. This process took less than a second, and it seemed to be a bang, Wyatt just lost.

"If I were your enemy, you would be dead at this time." Ludes retracted the knife and made a simple evaluation.

"Yes." Wyatt did not refute, but looked at the saber in Ludes's hand with interest.

Just now Ludes didn't use extraordinary power, just relying on his muscle memory and skills, he easily broke through Wyatt's attack.

"Come again." Seeing Wyatt's curiosity and dissatisfaction, Ludus shouted.

"Yes."

"Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom."

The teenagers below watched Wyatt lose again and again, and gradually realized that something was wrong. The set of sword techniques used by Ludes did not have any supernatural effects, it was all moves and strength The above skills, but with this alone, Wyatt can be completely suppressed.

"Okay, let's go down." Feeling almost done, Ludus stopped.

"The swiftness of the saber can quickly kill the enemy and protect yourself in a chaotic battle. Every time you kill an enemy, you will become safer. This is very important when facing a large number of enemies. After all, no one There is no guarantee, if you fight for superiority all your life, you will always face difficulties."

"In addition, the difference between using a knife and using a sword is that the knife tries to cut as much as possible. As long as the angle and force are correct, you can cut off a large piece of meat without any effort, and at the same time, the speed of the knife will not decrease. Turn around and launch the next attack again, so that the moves are closely connected and there are very few flaws, and if the enemy is a little careless, you can find a gap and draw a wound."

"In the past, how to evaluate a good knife user, that is, put a large piece of wet clay in front of the body, run the knife across it, cut off a piece smoothly, and then castrate unabated, so continuous, Slices and slices of thin clay fell from the side."

"Be quick, be faster, so that your moves will be flawless."

Although nearly 20 years have passed, the scene where Mr. Luders taught us how to wield a saber in the room on the training ground that day is still so clear. I even remember the dust floating in the room that day, as well as the The texture of the wooden knife.

Mr. Luders is a person worthy of respect. He teaches students sternly and unreservedly. Not only will he teach us various combat skills, how to face fear, how to choose appropriate weapons, and how to use various conditions Come win and more.

It is precisely because of his inspiration that I prefer to use fast and fast fighting skills more and more, even the saber that I carry is the type that is as thin as a knife.

Unfortunately, as a follower of Master Jaylanne, I must join the Knights of the White Lion. The only weapons I can choose are swords and spears, and I cannot carry a saber with me.

Fortunately, in the later days, I gradually found a quick sword technique. Although it is different from the saber technique, the main idea and style are very similar, so I fell asleep in it and took it as my main battle Way.

After a long time, my friends and comrades in the White Lion Knights also gave me the name of "Gust", and became an alternative in the Knights. As the spiritual inheritance of classical knights, the Knights of the White Lions have always been presented with powerful strength and a mighty appearance. I am really rare as an alternative.

Compared to other knight orders in the empire, the White Lion Knight Order is quite different.

First of all, although this knight order was established in the western region, its style and spirit are different from the traditions of the western region. If you really want to say, its style is actually more in line with the fantasy of the nobles in the imperial capital.

Why is it called a classical style, because the purpose of the White Lion Knights is very lofty, including several virtues, probably to uphold justice, protect the young, treat the weak well, and uphold oaths and promises. This style is very similar to the roles in classical knights, and is yearned for by many young nobles today.

But if you really look into history, you will know that the knights in the past were no nobler than they are now, they are just war machines, and the violence of the country is nothing more than that.

It can be said that the White Lion Knights are a product of fantasy in a certain sense, because most of the leaders of the western region are in the mountains and forests, and most of the nobles in the western region rarely go out, so there have always been western knights in the circle of imperial nobles. The cryptic term of barbarians refers to these people who do not look like nobles, are barbaric and bloody, and do not know etiquette.

The aristocrats in the western region were not unaware of social interaction, and they gradually felt this situation later on. However, when facing the prosperous central part of the empire, as well as the eastern and southern regions with developed commerce and trade, they did have this faint feeling. self-abasement.

Because of longing, so worship, so follow.

In order to get rid of the image of the past and hope to truly integrate into the vast group of the empire, the nobles of the western region supported and established the White Lion Knights.

In terms of armor style, weapon standards, combat strength, rich knowledge, elegant etiquette, etc., strive to be the best, most in line with the kind of glory and nobility that the nobles in the empire yearn for, etc. .

It seems to be a silly way. In the early days, it was ridiculed by some old-fashioned nobles as barbarians wearing silk and wrapping it up indiscriminately to pretend to be noble. Also really erected.

Undoubtedly, this is a knightly group that only nobles can join, and there are strict requirements for each member. For example, there must be no people with bad reputations, fighting strength, and etiquette knowledge must not be left behind. With strict joining conditions, the quality and overall image of the members are guaranteed. If you are unmarried, just introduce yourself as an official member of the White Lion Knights, and many noble girls will take the initiative to say hello to you.

In the circle of gradually depraved nobles, the White Lion Knights is undoubtedly a rare existence with an excellent reputation. This also allowed its members to gradually no longer be limited to the western region, and later even met outstanding talents from all over the empire join in.

Powerful, mighty, brave, fair, lion, these words are always so beautiful, people yearn for it, the classical knights that have never appeared in ancient times, because of people's fantasies and yearning for ancient times, it is actually true Appeared.

This is not to be said to be a very interesting thing.

But it also finally answered the long-standing question in my mind, whether to obey reality and guard the current stable world, or follow what I think and create a dream world.

'The fact that the past doesn't exist doesn't mean it can't be born, and the things imagined will not be inferior to everything that exists in reality. ’

This alone is enough. For this reason, I deviated from the teachings of Mr. Ludes, and also rebelled from my family, and joined Lord Jelanen's command.

The past Western Territory cannot be said to be very bad, but this model is slowly coming to an end. Even compared with the previous Western Territory, it is now the most powerful existence in history, but the road has been exhausted, and it will continue to be maintained , can only make people irritated and uncomfortable.

"I'm not a really noble knight, I just want to end this painful era as soon as possible." Facing the familiar teacher in front of me, I raised my sword and said what was in my heart.

Griffons are flying in the sky, Dragon Wings are shuttled, thunder guns and roaring bullets cut through the sky, fierce and chaotic, knights in white lion armor and ground griffin knights are fighting on the ground all around, there are many on both sides We are all acquaintances, and even studied and grew up together.

"Oh, just for such a ridiculous reason, you are going to betray the Duke of Griffin. How has your lord ever treated you badly in the past."

"If you do this, what will the family members think? Don't they feel sad!?"

Mr. Ludes' questioning was cold and strong, making the companions behind him unable to speak.

I took a deep breath, raised my head, and looked directly at the teacher riding on the back of the griffin.

"Yeah, it will be very sad, it will be very sad, so, because of their sadness, do I have to obey for the rest of my life!?"

"Wouldn't I be sad, wouldn't it be painful, watching disgusting things happen again and again, watching that disgusting face succeed again and again."

"Although I come from aristocratic background, I can't immerse myself in this world like you. I'm just an idiot who doesn't fit in and is destined not to enjoy the glory of nobility."

"Yes, that's right, the Lord of the Western Region, the Grand Duke of Griffin ascended the throne of the empire, and the empire was unified. It is such an honor and glory for many nobles of the Western Region to obtain greater land and titles."

"But! What does all this mean to me? Watching the old and corrupt system repeat itself again, tens of millions of people have been displaced because of this, only for you to exchange for a noble crown and glory."

"Glory, what exactly is glory? Is it glory to fight for power? Is it glory to kill the enemy? Is it glory to make others suffer for pleasure?"

"I hate this kind of world, I hate your old and rotten thoughts, you will always kill and oppress for that poor title and so-called wealth."

"I hate such a world of rules and regulations, I hate the **** aristocratic system, I hate the **** identity distinction, use various things to restrict, and then I am complacent, like a fool."

"But the problem is that there are too many idiots like you, so that more idiots are deceived by you. I hate this stupid world, I hate this world full of deception, I hate this artificially set rules , a system just to satisfy some stupid hobbies and pleasures.”

"There are too many idiots, too many idiots, if I don't kill you people, I can't tell my world, and I can't show the future I want. Now, do you understand!?"

The hoarse voice spewed out from the lung cavity, and I roared and cut off the long sword in my hand again and again, just to express the countless anger and depression in my heart.

"You are a lunatic." Teacher Ludes' words were still low.

"Yeah~IndoMTL.com~ Just treat me like a lunatic, I can't be that rational and smart!"

The magic power boiling in his body resonated with the holy sword in his hand, and the indescribable boredom and depression in his heart burned and burst like a raging fire, and the sharp sword marks slashed crazily.

I hate this kind of world, I hate the so-called cleverness, I hate those stupid things who are complacent, I am not a **** who can change the world, nor a wise sage, I can only use the simplest and violent way to find the way in my heart .

The wind howled, the blades danced wildly, and amidst the blood and killing, I saw the light.

It took Kawen a day, and I finally wrote it. I wrote a lot of rational and ideal people, and occasionally I wrote a few lunatics and fools, although they may not be really crazy. 00

There is also a side story about Frocia, and then the latter part of the Empire chapter unfolds.
