C186 Blank to Distant(part I)

When Arthur heard the Duke Hall's words, he was first stunned.

"What?" Impossible! The orcs just wanted the pieces of him. They only needed to dig out their hearts and freeze them again. They had no reason to leave Bedivere's life and give him the chance to escape. Arthur replied.

"The fragment on his body is only one, Arthur." Hall analyzed, "The other six Universal Wall keys are in our hands. If the orcs were smart enough, they would use the child's life to maximize the benefits. "In other words —"

"They left Bedivere's life in exchange for the other six pieces. Arthur said as he opened his eyes wide.

Bedivere is still alive! There was still a chance to save him!

All of this might not be too late!

"…." Humph! Ryder kicked the rabbit away, causing him to hit the wall of the prison heavily. "Damn rabbit, consider yourself lucky!" If it weren't for Duke Hall begging for mercy on your behalf, I would have chopped you into pieces a long time ago. — Count Kaldor, I will leave this fellow in your care. "

"Yes, Lord Arthur." Gaia Knight Cardor agreed.

"Yes, yes!" "Tristan's eyes lit up with hope as he looked at Arthur. But then he lowered his head again. "I'm not qualified to be so happy." If it were not for the fact that I am opposing you, everyone would not have been ambushed and Bedivere would not have been captured. "

"It's not your fault," Arthur said. "It's my fault that I didn't stick to my point of view, that I foolishly let Betty flip a coin to decide his fate. It's all my fault. "

"…." We'll apologize to him when he gets back. Tristan said. "I'll try my best to save Biddy when we get back." "

"Yes." "Arthur looked at Tristan and said seriously," Do you know? Bedivere having a friend like you, is really his fortune. Will you continue to be Biddy's friend and guard him from now on? "

"Of course." Tristan wiped the tears off his face.

Late at night.

Bedivere crawled up from the bed and glanced at the soundly asleep Coves, before walking out.

"No." "You can't escape." Coves's voice made his shiver. I only need a little more than ten seconds to travel a kilometer. If you are confident that you can escape several kilometers in an instant, go ahead and give it a try. If you can't do it, just stay in bed. If you don't behave, I'll tie you up. "

"I just want to go to the bathroom!" "Unless you want me to pee on your bed!" "

The next morning.

A Knight knocked on the door and woke Arthur up. "Duke Hall invites you to breakfast together." "

"Huh?" "Arthur rubbed his sleepy eyes," Okay. I'll be right there. "

It was still four in the morning. What are you doing so early!? Is Hall crazy?!

"Phew …" "It looks like Tristan was invited as well, but he didn't wake up at all. He continued to doze off as he placed the bread into his nose.

"I'm sorry it's so early." "Hall looked like he was in a hurry. He quickly ate the tobacco and bread, and also poured some orange juice into his mouth as he ate." You guys eat too, we're going hunting right away. "

"Hunting?" "

Five in the morning.

Arthur suspiciously followed Hall out. Borrowing the cover of the dense fog in the early morning, they walked quietly in the forest.

"Oh right, Arthur." Hall lowered his voice and said, "I saw your duel just now. It seems like you have already used the Mind's Eye Arts to your heart's content, but your fighting style has a huge loophole." "

"A loophole?" "

"You are too reliant on the Mind's Eye Arts." By relying solely on the enemy's hostility to perceive the enemy's attack, if one did a good job of doing it, they would be able to smoothly predict all the attacks and effectively dodge them. If the enemy's speed is even faster than your body's reaction speed, or if the enemy also knows how to use Mind's Eye Arts, then your battle strategy will be very disadvantageous. "

"I know." "Yes," Arthur agreed, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, if he could, he didn't want to do it. However, his thin and weak body could not keep up. He could only use his techniques to win. This was probably the only method he could use.

"On the other hand, there are many animals in the natural world that use Mind's Eye Arts." "These swallows are experts who use Mind's Eye Arts s. They can sense the light waves caused by the hostility of the predators in the surrounding space, and can also ingeniously change their flight path to avoid the enemy's attack. If you don't believe me, shoot them. "

"Do you really want it?" "If you shoot them —"

"Relax, I couldn't hit you." Hall replied.

Arthur was skeptical as he raised his crossbow and shot a few arrows. He intentionally aimed every arrow at Swallow's flight path. Logically speaking, there was no reason for him to miss.

But the swallow seemed to have known of Arthur's attack beforehand, as it flew around, cleverly avoiding the Photon Arrow's attack.

"It's my turn." "Duke Hall lifted the Optical Gun and shot it. The Photobullet hit the swallow with its tail. No, it's the opposite. The situation looked more like a swallow hitting the head of a Photobullet. It simply could not detect Hall's hostility, and thus, it could not avoid Hall's attack.

Arthur looked at the Yan Zi who had been knocked out and was falling down, and asked in shock: "How did you do that? To predict Swallow's movements, where would he attack to suppress his enmity? Was it really possible? "

"No, that would have been impossible." "As long as a person has the intention to do something, they will definitely cause a ripple in the world of photons." As long as he had something to say, it would affect the world to a certain extent. All I can do is get rid of all the distractions in my heart and act on instinct alone. That was the offensive skill, [Heartless]. "

"Unintentional?" Arthur gasped. Hall had merely thrown away all these thoughts in his heart and his attacks became unpredictable. An attack that was unable to be predicted, to Arthur, was just like a dark world with an unfathomable depth.

"Why are you telling me this?" If you suddenly use this kind of combat skill in a duel, I'm dead. Arthur said, "Are you telling me all of this to bridge the gap between our strengths? "

"It's to make you fight better against the battle you're about to face, but it's not necessarily the duel between us." The Duke Hall said in a mysterious tone.

"What?" "

"Anyway, that's all I have to tell you, and I've got other things to — oh, it just happens to come!" Hall lowered his body and hid in the bushes.

Not far away, in the thick fog, there was the figure of a giant grizzly bear.

The guy had recently been attacking passengers who passed by. It was the first grizzly bear to kill someone. "Hall drew his sword," He must be addicted to eating human flesh, this guy is already hopeless. I came to hunt him today. "

Arthur did not speak. A dignified Heavenly Stage Knight like him actually had the leisure to hunt grizzly bears like this. What kind of medicine is Hall trying to sell?

"Surround them from both sides, but don't attack." I want his head cut off beautifully. Hall said.

Arthur and Tristan helplessly went around to the two sides. Then they rushed out together and surrounded the great grizzly bear. Before the distracted grizzly could react, its head fell to the ground.

Indeed, as Hall had said, the cut was as smooth as a mirror, and the attack was crisp and clean. This incision … Why does he look so familiar?

"Royal Highness of Iceisland, can you please freeze this bear's body? Hall said.

"Huh?" Oh … "Tristan was still half asleep, he answered vaguely while performing an ice magic spell to freeze the bear's body in the ice.

"Good. Our mission is complete. Let's go back." Hall said as he carried the gigantic block of ice.

Arthur looked at Hall, "Grand Duke, you came out to hunt so early in the morning, could it be to explain to me your battle skills and to kill the bear? What are you trying to do? "

"No, that's all." Hall denied.

"The way you cut off the bear's head is exactly the same as my swordsmanship." Why did you try to imitate my swordsmanship and cut off a bear's head? Was it for fun? "

"Heh heh, Arthur, you're really a sharp man. "Hall laughed out loud." Alright, since you want to pursue this matter to the end, you should just come and personally confirm it yourself. However, he needed to buy something first, so he had to take a detour. "

10 AM in the morning.

When Hall said "a little detour", he meant that Hall wanted to "shop around town crazily". Arthur gloomily followed behind Hall, holding countless shopping bags that were big and small.

The item in the shopping bag puzzled Arthur the most. For a dignified Heavenly Stage Knight, what he bought when he went out to shop was not swords or armor, but a bunch of children's toys, children's clothing, and books. The clothes were also given to boys and girls.

This shocking amount made it seem that Hall's family either had a dozen or twenty children, or he was someone who doted on his children a lot. Looking at this middle-aged man, Arthur could not help but become even more suspicious.

"Excuse me, do you need me to help you carry something? Heavy?" We'll be there soon. Hall said.

Indeed, they arrived very quickly. Hall stopped in front of a building that looked like a church. While Hall was ringing the doorbell with one hand, Arthur realized that this was an orphanage.
