Roger struggled to hold on. He had long lost all his strength. The only reason he could stand now was because of the strong will he had formed from many life-and-death battles. He kept saying to himself,"I can't give up, I can't give up. Even if I die, I can't be crushed like this."”
I looked at the swordmaster in front of me with approval. His will was indeed as firm as I had imagined. The reason why I did this was because I saw his regretful gaze just now. Just by getting close to him, I could already roughly judge his strength. I knew that he had been trapped in the green battle energy and could not break through, so I wanted to help him. That was why I had first completely ignited his fighting spirit, then used my delicate sword technique to continuously suppress his fighting spirit. Then, I used my powerful aura to continue suppressing him. You have to know that I was not only using the strength of the blue crystal battle qi. This aura not only contained the aura of a master swordsman that I was using now, but also the dragon race's dragon might skill. That was definitely not something that a small swordmaster could withstand. As long as he endured it for a long time, the benefits would be greater. It was even possible for him to directly break through the green battle energy.
Roger's willpower had been burned to the limit. Right now, he was almost unconscious. He only knew how to forcefully gather all the combat qi in his body. The green combat qi that was suppressed in his body washed the vital points on his body again and again.#8226;#8226;。Finally, the barrier that had never been successfully broken through before finally began to loosen under the tenacious impact, and finally collapsed. The warrior energy that had been suppressed finally burst out. A light blue light shot into the sky, and his originally shaky body could finally stand firmly.
I had already stopped suppressing him the moment his Dou Qi erupted. I only stared at him indifferently. Roger stood there in surprise. His face was full of excitement and gratitude. His infatuated eyes stared at the beautiful blue radiance on his hands.
"The so-called swordsmen are not only holding a heavy sword, but also using pure battle energy to suppress others and win with strength. The swordsmen I understand should rely on their agile footwork to attack the enemy's territory and defend the enemy's territory. They should be able to make the battle proceed according to their own rhythm. What do you think?”I said calmly.
Roger, who was immersed in the joy of leveling up his battle aura, heard this and his eyes lit up. I knew that he would definitely understand something (Nonsense, if he couldn't gain anything after fighting with you like this, he would be an idiot). Actually, even I myself didn't know why I suddenly wanted to help him. It was just that I felt that I should do things as I pleased. Just as I thought of doing this, I did it.
"I should have passed the swordsman test, right? Can you give me the swordmaster badge now?”I smiled at Roger, who had already regained his senses.
Roger kneeled down in front of me and said excitedly,""Thank you for your guidance. Ever since I reached the peak of blue battle energy, I have been looking forward to the day I can break through every day for the past ten years. However, no matter how hard I try, I still can't succeed. For this reason, I had placed myself on the edge of life and death countless times, but every time, I only received a body full of scars. I had even felt despair about this. Today, with your help, I can finally get what I want. I have no regrets in this life. I only hope that you can accept me as your servant and allow me to follow you to do my best.”
I was shocked and said,"Get up first." With your current strength as a beginner Great Swordsman, you will be treated well wherever you go. Moreover, you are a member of the Swordsmen Guild. Why are you following me?”
" I've been wandering the continent for more than 20 years, but I've never seen such exquisite swordsmanship, Master," Roger said firmly." In the past, even if I encountered a Sword Saint, I could still withstand a few moves. However, Master could make me completely unable to fight back with just his aura. The continent had always respected the strong, and he hoped that Master would take him in. It would be Roger's greatest honor to follow his master.”
I thought about it carefully and finally nodded."I can promise you, but I still have something very important to do. Before I finish, you have to stay here. Once I'm done with my business, I'll return here in less than a year. Only then can you follow me to travel the continent.”I remembered that I had promised Anna that I would return to Dragon Island once a year at the latest. This was a good place to stay. When the time came, he would come back to take him away when he left the island again. After all, it was not a bad thing to have a Great Swordsman as a helper.
Roger heard that I agreed to his request and immediately stood up in surprise. He said happily,"Thank you for taking me in, Master."
I took out the amethyst card and said to him,"Do you have a Purple Crystal Card?"
He immediately took out his mana crystal card. I transferred 200,000 gold coins to his card and said,"Take this money first. In a while, you can buy a bigger house in this city. It will be our temporary address in the future. When I'm done with my business, I'll go there to find you.”
He looked at me gratefully and said," Thank you for your trust, Master. Please rest assured. Because of the magical beast attack, many people in the city want to sell their houses. I can settle it immediately."”
"Okay, that's good. When you're done, come to the Goblin Bar and find me!" Give me the swordmaster badge first."
After I filled out a form, I quickly received the swordmaster badge. I held it in my hand. I didn't like to pin this on my chest. I gently waved my hand at Roger and walked out of the Swordsman Guild with ease. Not long after, Roger also walked out and went to buy a house.
I came to the Mercenary Guild again. Actually, I had just left for less than an hour. Many of the mercenaries who had seen me fight were still in the Mercenary Hall. I easily squeezed my way to the counter where the beautiful girl was and said to her,"Beautiful lady, do you still remember me?”
The young girl probably didn't expect me to speak to her in such a tone. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment. You must know that I gave him the feeling that I was a very domineering person. The sudden change made it difficult for her to adapt in a short time.
Actually, if it was in the past, I would never have spoken to a girl whom I had only met twice like this. However, after interacting with Roger, I gained a deeper understanding of the word 'carefree' that my master had written for me. I vaguely felt that I had already grasped the key to breaking through to the seventh stage of the Heaven's Path Divine Art. I believed that I would be able to break through again very soon.
Seeing that she didn't respond, I smiled and said,"Looks like you've forgotten me. How forgetful! I want to register as a mercenary."
She finally reacted and blushed."How can it be that easy to forget! All you have to do is show me your badge and fill out this form.”
I took the form and flashed the badge in my hand at her. Then, I quickly filled in the form. Because I didn't belong to any country, I casually filled in the form with the word 'Kalenka' just like I did at the Swordsman Guild. Very quickly, I received a mercenary card. Following the girl's instructions, I dripped blood on the card and officially became a D-rank mercenary.
"Do you want to take on missions by yourself now, or do you want to join a mercenary group? Or do you want to form your own mercenary group?" the girl introduced enthusiastically.”
The mercenaries beside him immediately shouted,""Join our Tiger Mercenary Group! Our mercenary group has the best treatment." "Join our Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group! Our goal is to slay the dragon.”"Come to our Sea Sand Mercenary Company! There are many beauties in our group.”“……”
I looked unhappily at the chaotic mercenaries and was deeply annoyed by their fighting to be the first to fight. Just as I was about to express my gratitude, a voice came from the door."Of course you want to join our Bravehearts Mercenary Group. We are the third largest mercenary group on the continent.”
As I spoke, a group of people walked in from the door. They were a few valiant swordsmen and a few mages. Two of the swordsmen were heavy swordsmen in full armor. Just by looking at the aura they emitted, I knew that they were definitely not ordinary mercenaries. Leading them was a golden-haired youth in a cloak. His handsome face was filled with arrogance. He slowly walked in front of me and asked with a smile,"Are you the Great Swordsman who just registered as a mercenary?”
"I'm indeed a newly registered mercenary, but I'm only a swordmaster."”
"A swordmaster with aquamarine battle energy?" the young man asked with a smile. In fact, everyone knew that the level of one's battle aura was equivalent to the level of a swordsman. The guild's test was just a formality. Why are you being so humble?"
I didn't know that there was such a saying, but in my opinion, the reason why the guild's test existed was to stimulate low-level swordsmen to challenge high-level battle qi. Because even if I only had green battle qi, I was very confident that I could defeat Roger. But of course, I wouldn't share my opinion with this stranger. Moreover, this young man's face was full of pride. Even though he had always been polite to me, I didn't have any good feelings towards him.
The young man saw that I didn't respond to his words. He secretly gritted his teeth and continued to smile," Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. We are the Bravehearts mercenary group. I am the deputy leader, Edgar. Our mercenary group is currently ranked third in the entire continent. There are many experts in the group, and the leader is the Chevelde Sword Saint. I believe that joining our mercenary group will definitely not be an injustice for you.”
I only smiled faintly. I had a heavy responsibility on my shoulders now, and joining the Mercenary Guild was just a spur of the moment. I had no interest in joining any mercenary group. Even if I really wanted to play with mercenaries, I would only create one myself. How could I be manipulated by others in their group?
