【What do you think of the new cover?】-

Several bishops and elders all had admiring expressions and smiled: "I didn't expect that the chief palace warrior of the royal family was so powerful. It seems that our Empire of Light has finally released another swordsman! There is another fighter defending the dignity of the gods on the earth protected by the true gods. Now the pagans in the north should be careful! When there is another holy war in the future, our strength will inevitably increase greatly!"

Listening to the praises these people were in his ears, the Pope Corsica VI had a calm expression, without a look of joy and amazement on his face, but he was sneering in his heart: "The fighter who defends the gods... Humph... Although he is powerful, is he really a believer of the devout gods? Besides... the swordsman? Is it as simple as a swordsman?"

His eyes drifted to the "Dakura Spear" inserted on the ground and finally stretched out his eyebrows. No matter what, it was always a happy thing to kill a prince-level guy from the blood clan tonight and get this legendary magic weapon...

`

Half of the street outside the Prince's Mansion was broken. Not only was the entire prince's mansion almost razed to the ground, but the outer walls were certainly fragmented, and even the solid castle was half stepped on, and the remaining half was shattered. Bayan and hundreds of privately raised dead soldiers in the Prince's Mansion were scattered. Even the mansions of other royal nobles around the Prince's Mansion were affected. Many buildings collapsed and collapsed and the walls were sparse. Some of the stone slabs on the half street outside, closest to the battle site, were even lifted up. Roddy had just walked out with Mr. Qiu, and saw a pair of soldiers from the imperial capital security station that had arrived. They were a little late and were busy in chaos.

The commander of the Imperial Capital Security Station was already ashamed. Last time, Duke Tulip was assassinated, he almost forced himself to commit suicide. Finally, he almost talked about the entire imperial capital and passed the difficulties in fear. This time it was even more amazing - the entire prince's mansion was made into scorched earth, and it was within the imperial capital! Judging from this, there were probably not many living people in it.

A group of low-level sorcerers from the Imperial Capital Religion Institute were guarding outside and told himself that the Pope of the Religion Institute and several bishops were exterminated demons and demons. The head of the Public Security Bureau here had begun to pray silently. He only begged His Highness the Prince not to have anything to do... Otherwise, he, the leader in charge of the Imperial Capital, would just draw his sword and wipe his neck.

While sweating profusely, Mr. Qiu came over from the end of the long street. The security commander rushed over as if he had seen a savior, almost hugging Mr. Qiu.

Mr. Qiu glanced at him and whispered: "His Majesty the Pope is inside. It is a blood clan who is causing trouble and has been killed... You don't have to worry about yourself about this matter, it is not your responsibility."

The commander breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but Mr. Qiu's words made him look as if he was depressed again.

Only Mr. Qiu added a light sentence: "But the son of His Highness, Mr. Bayan, died for the country."

This sentence made the commander sit on the ground almost on the spot - His Majesty's nephew died? So in the furious emperor, is his own life as the commander in charge of the security of the imperial capital?

Looking at the commander who was ashamed, Mr. Qiu sighed and smiled, "Don't be afraid. Your Majesty will not be angry about this matter, but will be happy."

After saying that, this inexplicable commander was left, and Mr. Qiu took Roddy away. The commander stood there and thought it was broken and he couldn't figure it out - isn't Young Master Bayan the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor? Why would His Majesty be happy if he died?

This kind of overwhelming pressure between high-level power cannot be understood by him, a humble little commander.

Later, it confirmed Mr. Qiu's words. His Majesty the Emperor did not pursue the head of the imperial capital security department in the end. Instead, he ordered him to say that he had done the right thing afterwards and made great contributions to the aftermath. He praised the commander with great praise. He made the commander feel up and down, and just thought in his heart: The teacher in the Imperial Academy said that being with the king is like a tiger, and this is indeed true... The emperor's thoughts are really unpredictable...

Of course, these are later things, so I won’t mention them.

Roddy followed Mr. Qiu all the way out. At this moment, it was already dawn. Except for the chaotic residences of the royal nobles, there were normal people coming and going on the streets of the imperial capital... Originally, there was an earthquake and thunder last night. I heard that the homes of those nobles were destroyed. This is interesting news... Humph, it makes them look arrogant on weekdays! It's so satisfying...

The civilians in the streets and alleys were talking, but there were more soldiers from the public security offices patrolling the streets than before.

It was daylight, so we couldn't fly all over the sky. Roddy followed Mr. Qiu honestly to the gate of the city, then left the city, and went to a town outside the suburbs of the imperial capital.

Stopped in front of a small house outside the town.

"This is my home." Mr. Qiu said calmly: "Once upon a time."

After entering the courtyard, it seemed very depressed and dilapidated, with leaves falling on the ground, as if no one had been here for a long time. Mr. Qiu said lightly: "I usually live in the palace now, and I rarely come here. But it is relatively secluded here, so it is safe for you to live here..." His tone suddenly became a little sharper, and he added slowly: "Duke Tulip."

Roddy shook his body, and his face immediately changed. He took a step back and looked at Mr. Qiu in surprise.

"Is it strange?" Mr. Qiu smiled faintly: "I was very surprised at the beginning. Why did Seit, who had no sword skills at all, suddenly become a new Tulip Duke who was invincible in the northwest. I saw you tonight, and the sword skills you used... I thought of Nicole who asked me to give you advice... If I don't understand yet, then I am a fool."

"You can be sure with these?" Roddy was a little wary.

Mr. Qiu smiled faintly: "I was not sure at first, but...but I discovered something."

"What?"

"Do you remember when you passed the title assessment? I was actually there, but the warriors in our palace were hidden in the dark in order to protect His Majesty... At that time, I was very surprised, why did the fighting spirit on you be so familiar with... I couldn't figure it out at first, but now I understand... Because the fighting spirit on you is cultivated based on the seed of power I gave you." Mr. Qiu smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I won't harm you."

Roddy looked at Mr. Qiu's calm face and felt a sense of trust in his heart, and finally relaxed his clenched fists.

Mr. Qiu smiled again: "What's wrong with the dragon clan aura on you?"

Roddy shook her head: "This matter is a long story...I..."

Mr. Qiu waved his hand and said lightly: "I'm not interrogating you. If you don't want to say anything, it's OK. When I saw you the first time, I actually liked you very much. You are different from the young people I've seen who practice swordsmanship. You have a strange aura... You look like I was when I was young."

After pausing, he said with joy: "I am very happy that you have become very strong now, but..." His expression gradually became serious: "You shouldn't make a fuss like this in the imperial capital. After all, this is the core of the empire. If you make a fuss about consequences like this, you will always bring a lot of trouble."

Roddy's stubborn thought rose, and his eyebrows raised, and he shouted: "Why not? I just want to make such a big fuss and destroy all those bastards!" After a pause, he said what happened last night in a deep voice.

Mr. Qiu's face was calm, and he stood here to listen to Roddy's words-even when he heard the news of Qiao Qiao's death, he just raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"So you made a fuss at all costs?" Mr. Qiu waited for Roddy to finish and shook his head: "You are still too young... Many things cannot be solved by your sharpness... When I was young, I was like you, and I always thought that anything could be solved with a sword, but in fact... it was not like this."

He showed a desolate expression on his face, and suddenly he forced a smile and said lightly: "I can't tell you much about these things... I... I don't have much time." After a moment of silence, he smiled at Roddy, as if the kind father was facing his stubborn son. He said warmly: "I ask you, you said you came back from the south for Miss Nicole. So have you ever thought about what consequences will be after you make such a big fuss?"

Roddy was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

Mr. Qiu continued: "Miss Nicole takes the family seriously, otherwise you wouldn't have let you pretend to be Seit to revitalize the family... In fact, this matter was a mistake. Miss Nicole rejected the emperor's proposal for you, which was not easy... If she had only been devoted to the family revitalization, she would have agreed to the emperor long ago. But why didn't she send someone to tell you? She just was afraid that you would be anxious to return to the imperial capital... Have you ever thought about the consequences? What is the charge for the generals outside who are not allowed to call the emperor to return to the imperial capital privately? That was the iron rule set by Emperor Abbas back then!!"

"You are you, no longer the Duke of Tulips. In order to be with Miss Nicole, you must get rid of this identity. It is certainly good. But... but have you ever thought about the future? Could it be... that you let Miss Nicole run away? Leave the Tulips family and fall down with a bang?"

Seeing Roddy not speaking, Mr. Qiu raised his eyebrows and suddenly shouted: "You only want to get rid of the Duke of Tulips. So have you ever thought about how you can be with Miss Nicole in the future? Did you take her to the end of the world? Wrong!"

He looked at Roddy and whispered slowly: "If you don't want to be Duke of Tulips, can't you be Duke of Roddy? If you don't want to be Commander of Tulips, can't you be Commander of Roddy? You are still you, but you can't you erect a flag for the empire again except for tulips?"

Roddy's body shook, and two rays of light immediately appeared in her eyes!

Re-erect a flag?

Yes!

If he was asked to leave with Nicole at this moment - would Nicole give up the career of the Tulip family? He was watching the hundreds of years of family collapse?

Even Roddy himself, would he be willing to leave Zieg? Leave Commander Gordon? Leave the warriors who swear to defend him for his sacrifice? Leave the passionate men who fought with him?

"Don't go to see Nicole now." Mr. Qiu whispered: "You stay here in the past two days... I will teach you something."

"Teaching me something?" Roddy's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but feel excited: "What do you mean... are you going to accept me as your apprentice?"

After all, Roddy is Roddy. No matter how powerful he is now, he still can't get rid of the original simple big boy in his heart.

Be the apprentice of Mr. Qiu, the first samurai in the empire! Become the apprentice of Mr. Qiu, the most respected samurai in the empire!

In the hearts of millions of young warriors in the Empire, who has never dreamed of this? Even Roddy himself, when he was a civilian student at the Imperial Academy, had such a dream many times in his dreams...

Mr. Qiu saw the glitter in Roddy's eyes, suddenly shook his head, and laughed in a low voice: "Wrong, it's not my apprentice. Your current strength has almost reached the Sword Saint Warrior. What qualifications do I have to be your teacher?" He smiled as if he was very pleased: "Duke Tulip once helped me when I was young. I said that if I accept disciples in the future, I will only accept his son. Unfortunately, this guy Seit has no interest in kendo."

Looking at the disappointed gaze in Roddy's eyes, Mr. Qiu smiled faintly: "What I can guide you is not how to improve your strength...but, your kendo."

"Kingdao?" Roddy's eyes showed a blank look.

In fact, he has always been proud of his sword skills in his heart. When the Imperial students learned sword skills, his sword skills were the most solid! Even after his strength improved, the Tulip Family Instructor Carter praised his solid sword skills. As for the practice of fighting spirit and his current super power, they were all obtained by a series of adventures, not his own ability. Only one sword skills was actually practiced by himself!!

Mr. Qiu saw the confusion in Roddy's eyes, shook his head, and whispered: "Swordsmanship is not as simple as you imagine... If I hadn't practiced swordsmanship back then, I wouldn't have... Alas..."

He suddenly sighed in a low voice, looked at the dilapidated yard, with a disgraceful look in his eyes, and whispered: "I just advised you not to make a fuss for Nicole, don't be too impulsive... Actually, I admire your courage in my heart... It's a pity that I didn't have the courage in your past."

His eyes flashed, as if he was trapped in memories.

"I said you can't elope with Nicole... Hum... Elop... This sentence is so heavy... How great would it be if I could elope with her? If we can all let it go..."

Finally returning to his senses, Mr. Qiu glanced at Roddy deeply and whispered: "Work hard, I hope you don't repeat my mistakes!"

The sadness in Mr. Qiu's eyes made Roddy's heart tremble. It seemed that this master who was calm everywhere also had his own sad past in his heart!

But, what kind of person is a woman who makes people like Mr. Qiu sad?

"Are you curious?" Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "It's all my life when I was young..." He said lightly: "When I was young, I had a little achievement in swordsmanship, and I fell in love with a noble girl... Later... she couldn't marry me, a civilian warrior... She married..." Speaking of this, Mr. Qiu shook his head, as if he wanted to throw away all these thoughts in his mind.

He slowly walked under a tree and suddenly turned around and smiled: "What is the sword in your heart?"

Roddy thought for a while and said, "It's a power! It's a weapon that can destroy the enemy!"

Mr. Qiu shook his head and smiled, and said lightly: "I am asking about swords, not weapons. Any weapon is power, and it is a tool that can destroy the enemy. But what is swords in your heart?"

Looking at the confusion in Roddy's eyes, Mr. Qiu's tone gradually became serious and said in a deep voice: "Your biggest flaw is that you have been harmed by the sword skills that have been spread throughout the Empire! In my opinion, the so-called vast majority of the warriors in the Empire are wrong in using swords! They use swords to chop and chop... Humph, they only know how to use brute force one by one. I don't think about swords anymore, even if they change a fire stick in their hands, there is no difference."

Roddy couldn't help but smile: "Isn't it right to use a sword to chop and chop?"

Mr. Qiu shook his head: "It's not wrong...but the sword is not used like this!"

He closed his eyes and said solemnly: "Swords are a noble weapon. They are lighter than spears, sharper than daggers, more flexible than axes, and more versatile than scimitars! But all the sword skills training in the empire seem to turn the sword into an inappropriate thing. In the hands of those people, the sword is used as a spear to sweep, stabbed as a dagger, chopped as an axe, and chopped as a scimitar... Humph... Is this a sword?"

He opened his eyes, looked at Roddy, and slowly said in an extremely serious tone: "Swords are not practiced, but are 'cultivated'!"

Mr. Qiu stretched out a finger and said lightly: "What I teach you is to 'cultivate the sword with your body'!"

His tone seemed a little cold: "I've stopped using swords after I was forty... Do you know why?" He smiled calmly: "Because swords are me, I am the sword!" (Sorry, use Gu Long's set, after all, Ximen Chuxue is my favorite martial arts character)

"Did you see this flying fallen leaf? It floats gently and has no strength. If you hit it with your fist, sweep it with a spear, and chop it with an axe, it will only flutter away from the distance by your strength..."

He closed his eyes, gently stroked his fingers, and a sharp sword energy shot out - this breath was not violent, not shocking, but it seemed as if he easily tore a slowly falling leaf in half.

After the sword energy passes, there is loneliness. So, the wind passes away, the flowers passes away, the moon passes away, the years passes away, and the sword passes away, the love passes away.

"The sword is in my hand, turning into anger and sharpness between my fingers, piercing the warmth of spring, piercing the highness of summer, piercing the charm of autumn, and piercing the coldness of winter."

This is what everyone said about this empire’s first swordsmanship!-
