"Elf?!" Xia Duo was stunned. The creature in front of him was a strong male elf wearing armor and carrying a sword at his waist. At this moment, the other person was staring at him seriously.
For some reason, Xia Duo suddenly felt a sense of shame in his heart, and he couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry, instructor, I was distracted just now."
"Athos, this is the second time that you have been distracted during training. Next time, go home by yourself!" The instructor left these words and walked towards the others regardless of Xia Duo.
At this time, Xia Duo was stunned. What did he hear just now? Elvish? Although he has not officially started learning Elvish language, he does know a lot of Elvish vocabulary. Coupled with the Elvish magic spell that Niya gave him, Shado is very sensitive to Elvish language, not to mention that the characteristics of Elvish language are so obvious. , smooth and graceful, like poetry, no matter how dull Xia Duo is, he can still recognize it!
But - why can he understand the other party's words, and he seems to have learned Elvish just now? Why is this?
At this moment, Xia Duo's mind was full of questions, and after the instructor left, he had time to look at the surrounding situation - this seemed to be a training ground in a certain city, and he could see tall tower-like buildings in the city. and floating walkways between buildings.
Nearby, around Xia Duo, three rows of tall elves with long ears were pointing forward with a delicate one-handed sword, and they didn't know what they were practicing.
Although these elves and the previous instructors are both elves, their physical characteristics are different. The instructors have fair complexion and strong build, while the trained elves have a lighter brown complexion and are thinner.
Xia Duo lowered his head and saw that his hands were like the trained elves around him. However, the color was not ugly when paired with the delicate skin of the elves. Instead, it had a metallic luster, which was quite interesting.
"Athos, Athos, the instructor is coming around, don't be dazed!" Just as he was thinking, Sha Duo felt someone push him on his back again.
The force was neither light nor heavy, but it was just enough for him to notice. Was it Grada? Only then did Xia Duo come to his senses. He quickly raised his right hand and imitated the elves around him, pointing the one-handed sword forward.
Maybe the other elves were really training, but Xia Duo was just pretending, he was actually observing the sword in his hand.
This sword is a magic item! The whole body is slender, a bit like the sword from Xia Duo's hometown, and it is obviously different from the Nese Rao sword.
There are some runes with unknown meanings engraved on the surface of the sword, like Elvish language, but they are different, and each of these runes is connected to the magic network.
The hilt of the sword was comfortable to hold, with no exaggerated decorations. Everything seemed to be just for practicality. At this moment, an idea suddenly emerged from the bottom of Sha Duo's heart -
"This is the standard weapon of Sukanvisa City!" Sha Duo was suddenly shocked. Could it be the real Athos talking?
He doesn't know what the so-called astral projection is, which allows him to replace a certain creature in the projection plane, but now it seems that the replacement is a bit incompatible?
Or, is this what traveling through the projection plane is all about? Sha Duo tried hard to recall what Niya and Aibo had told him. Normally, when humans are projected here, they will still be humans. Only in rare cases will they become other races.
Just because it was a rare situation, neither Niya nor Aibo paid close attention to it, and now Xia Duo encountered exactly this rare situation.
Or perhaps, he was not a human in the first place, at least not a Faerun human, which suddenly made his range of choices for projection suddenly much wider.
Regardless of whether it is incompatible or not, the most important thing at the moment is to work hard to play this role well, and only on this basis can we seek benefits for ourselves.
Of course, the interest here mainly refers to knowledge. Now that Xia Duo has projected himself into an elf, all he needs to do is dig deep into himself. He is quite interested in elves!
...Sukanwisa City, city guard training ground. Time passed little by little, and Xia Duo was still pretending to be among a group of elves in training. The instructor passed by him several times, and his expression became worse and worse.
When the color gradually darkened, the instructor finally announced: "Okay, that's it for now. Dismissal. Don't be late for the martial arts class tomorrow afternoon. Athos, you don't have to come tomorrow."
"..." Almost all the elves in training looked at Xia Duo, but Xia Duo kept telling himself in his heart,
"You are Sha Duo, not Athos. You are here to travel in the plane, not to suffer!" But I still felt a little frustrated. Fortunately, no elf mocked Sha Duo to his face, and soon everyone dispersed. Only Xia Duo and his partner who pushed him behind before - Grada were the only ones left on the training ground.
"Athos, what's wrong with you today? You dare to be distracted in class with a black face!" Grada said, and also used a spell to transform the instructor's appearance on her fingertips. However, according to Grada's description, the instructor was really Became a big black face.
"Instructor!" Xia Duo suddenly shouted. Snap - the image of Grada's fingertips disappeared in an instant, and at the same time his whole body tensed up. Seeing the evil smile on Sha Duo's face, he suddenly realized: "Well, Athos, I have saved you many times today. , How dare you lie to me! Don't ask my father to help you go to the big black face to plead for mercy this time." With that, Grada actually stabbed Xia Duo with a sword, which shocked Xia Duo. Is it an elf?
A noble and elegant elf? Draw a knife at the slightest disagreement? Xia Duo's own reaction was a little slow, but his body's instinct already made him raise his sword and stab the opponent, and at this time Xia Duo also understood why.
Following his instinct, Xia Duo just raised his sword and stabbed him here and there. He didn't say hello to the opponent, and the other person didn't say hello to him. He only occasionally exchanged swords and body blows, having a great time.
"Athos, why didn't you say anything? Are you just as serious as the big black face?" At this time, Shado had already sheathed his sword and stood up, and at the same time kept hinting to Grada,
"The instructor is here!"
"Again? I don't believe you this time. If the big black face comes over, I'll beat him too!" Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the head.
"You want to beat me too?" Hearing the familiar voice, Grada was so frightened that she dropped the sword in her hand. When she turned around, it turned out to be the instructor. Grada's teeth couldn't help but chatter up and down: "Instructor, I was joking. Yes, hehe."
"Are you kidding?" At this moment, the instructor's face was no less gloomy than when he passed by Xia Duo before.
"The training ground is about to be closed. I'll deal with you tomorrow. Go home quickly!" With the last words, the instructor raised his voice and almost shouted.
Grada was so frightened that he ran away, not even throwing the sword on the ground. Fortunately, he remembered Shado before leaving and motioned for Shado to follow.
Xia Duo was not so rude. After speaking to the instructor, he picked up Grada's sword before preparing to leave.
"Athos, wait!" The instructor suddenly stopped Xia Duo, and Xia Duo also stopped subconsciously. Looking at the tall and strong instructor in front of him, a thought suddenly flashed in Xia Duo's mind - the instructor is his father's comrade-in-arms. .
