The clear sky and sunshine lasted for most of the day, making the actual temperature feel much higher even though there was still snow on the ground.

It is spring after all, and even if it is snowing, my mouth and nose will not be numb from the cold, and any moisture will condense on the scarf.

The belated hot soup is still Kazuto's most commonly eaten soy product with simple seasonings. Even if it is near the lakeside, it would be a bit too underestimated to catch fish to try it immediately.

There is life in the lakes in the mountains. As long as there is water, various creatures will always settle here over time.

Geological evolution and animal migration occur on a time scale that is unimaginable to humans. As Dr. Xingyong, her duty is to study all things in the world, creatures, geography, astrology and other natural related matters. Ling has more than 4,000 years of accumulated knowledge in the Kingdom of the Moon, so she is He also knows far more about this than most other people on the team.

When the dumb green Kaleva, who looked like an oversized curious baby, couldn't help but lament how he could see schools of fish cruising in the distance from such a high place, as one of the few female doctors in the Xinjing Tiankaku Academy, Aya, who had always been ignored and rarely had the opportunity to publish her research results, opened up her chat box and then got out of control.

Alpine lakes formed unknown how long ago, with the natural erosion of wind, rain and water, even if the river channel is not visible on the surface, there may be an underground river inside that connects to the sea with nine twists and turns.

There is a similar species of trout swimming in Rigal in the distance, which the Lamani pronunciation calls Salmo, which means "rising". The name comes from the fact that this type of fish will tenaciously swim upstream during its life course and run to calm mountain lakes to lay eggs and reproduce the next generation.

This parade of life is incredible because it is located in the inland area of ​​Crescent Continent. No matter how long and narrow the continent is, it is still a continent. It is extremely far away from the sea in a straight line, not to mention the various turns in the river. If we consider it from the perspective of humans themselves, how the ancestors of these trout discovered these lakes is really a fascinating but exciting topic.

Imagine traveling a long way, even crossing difficult waterfalls. I swam forward and kept swimming in the river where no light could penetrate, and finally discovered such a peaceful and vibrant paradise.

The pioneers who led the way and the original pioneers are long gone, disappearing into the long river of history without even leaving their memories. However, the roads they paved and the memories they passed on have formed a legacy from generation to generation. To this day, these fish are still continuing this journey of life from generation to generation.

Isn't this like the fire of civilization that humans are gradually spreading around the world?

The ancient Laman people said: Interest is the best mentor. People who stand at the top level of a certain field often have a strong interest and enthusiasm for it in their early years.

When talking about the causes that she is interested in and passionate about, Miss Doctor revealed such brilliance. Her whole body was radiant. For a moment, Daotouqing stopped recording what Ling had said, and just looked at her in a daze, as if she was more dazzling than the sun today.

"What, what are you doing?" Sensing the other party's silence and staring eyes, and feeling more or less ashamed of herself for not being able to stop talking after she started talking, the doctor turned her head away and wrapped her fingers around herself. The blue hair said so.

"Ah -" Galeva started, wanting to say something.

"Okay." But this scene filled with the youthful atmosphere of young people was mercilessly interrupted by our Mr. Sage. He threw a long wooden stick, and Galeva hurriedly picked it up, so the notepad almost It fell to the ground and when he was rushing to catch the notepad, he accidentally hit himself in the head with the stick.

"Wow -" the white-haired girl standing behind Henry made a sound of disgust, while Galeva, who was covering her forehead, sucked in the cold air and endured the pain, while the doctor behind him sighed softly.

"What should I do with this?" Galeva put away his precious notepad, looked around, and finally handed it to Aya for safekeeping.

"Come here." Henry didn't say much. He tilted his neck and motioned for him to walk to the open space in front of the group's camp.

"..." Ling behind her glanced at the notepad in her hand, thought for a while, and finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and opened it.

"Oh, Lord Heng, are you itchy again?" Old Qiao, who was wiping his armor, saw the three people coming. When he saw the long stick in Galeva's hand, he immediately realized what they wanted to do, so he said: "Wait a minute. Let me join in the fun."

"I've had enough to teach this guy a lesson." Mira rolled her eyes and spoke mercilessly.

"Um, did I do something wrong again?" Leng Touqing, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall and very strong, grabbed the wooden stick and spoke like a wronged little girl, but felt that this guy's understanding was really low. The hopeless Luoan girl rolled her eyes for the second time: "I said I wanted to teach you a lesson, but I didn't really want to teach you a lesson. Why are you so stupid?"

"Ah, yes. Huh?" The young people who were still looking blank obviously still didn't know what they were planning to do. Not only Mira, but also some other onlookers nearby sighed again.

"I wish I had this physique, but it's so useless to look like this." The young master Yajiro, who was standing in front of his tent with his arms folded and watching, muttered quietly, while Narumi glanced at him and said nothing. .

"That's right, when we faced that mountain ghost before, that big thing. Didn't you stand up in front of Lulu and the others?" Mira followed Henry's lead and shrugged, and the latter noticed this and raised her eyebrows. Raising her eyebrows - she continued: "I heard what they said, your courage is commendable. But you don't know how to fight at all. You stand in front and want to wait for the enemy to beat you to death, and then let them go when you are tired." ?"

"Ugh." Being criticized mercilessly, Galeva felt his stomach cramping and his expression became bitter.

"So, even if you don't want to become a vase in the future journey, you'd better practice twice." The Luoan girl who finally answered the question said this with her hands on her hips, and the dumbfounded Qing who reacted: "Ah!" and then "Wow!"

His movements were so understanding that the cherry blossoms next to him were trembling with laughter, and Aya, who was looking at the diary written by Galeva in Laman language, took a moment to take a look and burst into laughter.

"Ah!" means "So this is what I want to do!"

The "Wow!" behind it means "Wow, do you want to teach me this!"

Easy to understand, very easy to understand - but Mira rolled her eyes for the third time.

"Let me explain first, it's not what you think." She started to say this, but considering the foundation of Galeva and the fact that the Luoan girl was not a sage, she thought about how to make Leng Touqing understand, and organized the language to make Mira There was a small silence.

"Compared with words, practical exercises are more direct." Henry noticed the dilemma his disciple encountered and spoke softly to wake her up.

"Ah!" Girl Luo An understood immediately, then ran to the other side to follow the young master and stretched out her hand: "Lend me the wooden sword." She said this without any politeness at all.

"..." Yajiro frowned with his arms crossed. He was quite concerned about his height and didn't like Mira's condescending gaze - but he still turned his head: "Give this guy A handful." He said to the servant.

"Yes." The Luoan girl stretched out her hand, and in an instant, Narumi, Ogami and Yajiro beside her all noticed the marks of training on her slender and white palms.

"..." The three Kazuto swordsmen fell silent.

In the Moon Kingdom, where men are absolutely dominant, existences such as female warriors are considered heretics. Women's inherently inferior physical fitness makes them face far more difficulties than men. Yes, they all know that Mira is Henry's disciple. Even in the previous fight with bandits, it was said that she It played an important role.

But the sage is too dazzling.

Inertial thinking will easily make these people look down on this young and lively girl, thinking that she is just a foil.

But is this the case?

"Pa—" "Hu—Hu—" "Hmm—" He held it with one hand, then lowered his center of gravity deftly and naturally, moving his steps while turning his wrist to rotate the wooden knife.

It seemed like just a normal warm-up or a cool move, but experts like them knew the ropes.

The moving footsteps are to confirm the situation on the ground, while the rotating weapons are to confirm the attack distance, weight and center of gravity.

Even the most outstanding craftsmen will have slight quality differences in the weapons they make. Most of the time, these differences can be ignored, but when there are large differences in weapon types, if you directly and blindly follow your own experience in using them, errors in prediction will occur.

"Yeah." After basically confirming things like weight and center of gravity, the girl from Luoan put her left foot with her front toe facing Galeva, and her right foot stretched out at a certain angle, straightening her back and slightly pressing her center of gravity forward. , and then placed the wooden knife on his right shoulder.

"Is it the Nanman's starting move?" "The movements are very skillful." Narumi and Okami were discussing, while Yajiro was silent in response.

"I'll attack first, and you try to defend." Mira said to Galeva, and Leng Touqing nodded several times before grabbing the middle part of the stick.

"Galaeva has the advantage in terms of length, and so does the weapon, but -" the samurai leader made his judgment, and at the same time Mira kept moving and got closer to Leng Tou Qing.

"Pa—" An unpretentious step followed by a chop.

"Ah!" The young man raised the wooden stick in his hand to block horizontally. However, after blocking the attack of the girl from Luo An, she had no intention of putting on a show of strength. She let go of her hand and continued to move forward. Shorty struck Galeva in the stomach with the end of the wooden handle.

"Ugh..." Even though he had reduced his strength, Lengtou Qing, who was suddenly hit, couldn't help but unsteady his feet and knelt down on one knee. Mira, who turned around, put a wooden knife on him the back of the neck.

"Qiang, you're dead." He said without mercy.

"Nice move." Old Qiao next to him praised frankly, but Galeva, whose whole forehead was covered with sweat, raised his face to look at Mira in discomfort and confusion.

"Looking at you like this, you still don't understand anything." The Luoan girl patted her forehead and was speechless: "I thought at least I had talked about something before and experienced it... Is this really the case? Has it really become like this?"

"I can't do it anymore, teacher, please tell him." The white-haired girl who gave up hastily passed the responsibility to the sage on the side, while Henry shrugged and spoke to Galeva, who was still confused about the situation:

"What were you thinking about just now?" the sage said straight to the point, but the young man was stunned for a moment: "What were you thinking about..."

"That's right, Mira said she was going to fight, so I just blocked." He failed to prevent the Luoan girl's attack, but Leng Touqing obviously didn't notice his problem.

"Is there anything wrong with blocking?" Seeing that the warriors around him were sighing and the expression of hatred on Mila's face was even heavier, Leng Touqing became further confused.

"The idea is correct, but what are you holding in your hand?" Only Henry's tone remained calm.

"Wood stick."

"Then what is Mira holding in her hand?"

"It's also a wooden stick, ah, a wooden knife?"

"Can I hit this guy, teacher?"

"Calm down." The sage said in a calm tone: "Just think of the wooden stick in your hand as a simulated spear."

“What advantages does it have over wooden knives?”

"The attack range is longer." Before Galeva could answer, he raised a finger and said:

"Your first reaction is to block the opponent's attack, which is not surprising. Because you are following us and hearing about it, this is how we do it."

"But this seemingly simple approach actually requires considerable training skills, and it is not the first choice for every weapon."

"The length of the spear is much longer than that of the sword, so it will be more sluggish in the application of changing moves within short distances."

"After you blocked her attack, she could quickly change her gestures, but you couldn't keep up with the reaction. Not only was the training insufficient, but the weapon itself was not suitable for this - long weapons are slower at close range, and shorter ones are slower. Weapons are faster at close range, this is a very simple truth." Henry explained in an easy-to-understand way as always, and even a stupid young man like Galeva could understand 70% to 80% of it.

"In other words, the moment you choose to block with a spear, you are using your own shortcomings to face the enemy's strengths."

"Then what should I do?" Galeva, who roughly understood, nodded and subconsciously asked.

"Make good use of your own strengths." Henry said in a steady and powerful tone: "Hold the flat-end weapon with both hands one-third of the way to the back, and let it hang naturally in front of you."

"Aim the tip of the gun at your opponent, hold the gun steady, spread your legs, don't stand still, keep moving."

"As soon as the opponent tries to attack from the side, you turn your body towards that side and always keep the weapon in your hand to create pressure on the opponent."

He said this, and Lengtou Qing, who got up again, began to clumsily but seriously assume a posture of holding a spear according to the sage's words.

"It's okay. Then you try to do these things, and then-"

"I'll do it." Yajiro, who was watching the battle, suddenly said coldly, and Galeva watched the young master who had beaten him before come out, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

"Yes." Henry nodded, and Yajiro, who took the wooden sword, stood opposite Galeva.

"Asking for advice."

"yes......"
