Holy Paladin

After handing over the box.

Alan found a reason to leave.

Only Roger was left in the reception room.

He silently flipped through the book Martial Arts Manual, and more information emerged.

"Shrinking Yang Into Abdomen: Pingsha School Secret Techniques, founder Black Tiger"

"Characteristics: Suspended by a thin line of air, flexible in expansion and contraction, which can effectively reduce flaws in duels."

"Advanced: One of the prefixes of 'Unleaking Body', Secret Techniques"

"Requirements: Comprehension 14/Master at least 2 Qi Aperture"

"Unleaking Body? That's it..."

Roger suddenly realized.

At first glance, he thought it was a crooked way practiced by some Cross-dressing Master in his previous life. (Note 1)

But think about it carefully.

How could Black Tiger Master be that kind of person?

"Using a sliding shovel Knee Strike Groin Kick at others every day, I will naturally think about how to crack these dirty tricks."

"Boys are walking around in the world, and sometimes they really need skills like Shrinking Yang Into Abdomen to protect themselves."

"And there is also the rear-mounted Secret Techniques like the "Unleaking Body" which looks very impressive."

Roger noticed.

Unlike other Martial Arts Manual, Shrinking Yang Into Abdomen displays Pingsha School "Secret Techniques" instead of "Pingsha School".

You can see its uniqueness.

Except "Shrinking Yang Into Abdomen".

There are two more books in the box.

One of them is Martial Arts Manual, and the other is something like a diary.

Martial Arts Manual is named "Uproot from Dry Land".

"Uproot from Dry Land: Pingsha School's unique knowledge, founder Black Tiger"

"Characteristics: Qi penetrates both feet and flies in one leap, a very special method of explosive power."

"Requirements: Comprehension 13/Master at least 1 Qi Aperture"

The literal meaning seems to be that it can make Roger jump higher.

Although it looks okay.

But it's a little less interesting than Shrinking Yang Into Abdomen.

The upper limit of the martial arts that Roger can master currently is 7.

Excluding upgrades, there is not much space left.

But he didn't rush to make a decision.

But first carefully read his diary.

The diary name is "Black Tiger Heart Sutra".

The content recorded inside is not Martial Arts Manual.

It's the experience left by Black Tiger Master's lifelong fighting! Roger The more I look at it, the more delighted I become.

Honestly.

Black Tiger Master's handwriting was extremely ugly and crooked, and it was very difficult for him to read it at first.

But it is more detailed and informative.

Soon he was immersed.

In "Black Tiger Heart Sutra".

Roger has harvested a large number of practical cases.

For some of the opponents, even Black Tiger Master was not sure of victory before the battle.

He not only recorded the process of these battles in detail in writing.

Encountered a situation that is not clearly described in words.

He will also draw a few simple drawings that are easy to understand.

Black Tiger Master's writing is not very good, but the pictures he draws are lifelike.

Roger watched it with gusto.

It feels like reading comic strips when I was young in my previous life.

Take a rough look at it.

He had a new understanding of what Black Tiger Master repeatedly mentioned. "Attack an unprepared person and damage his vital points."

All the time.

What Roger did was actually damaging its vital points!

But in fact, in Black Tiger's philosophy, "attacking the unprepared" is the highest priority.

Thousands of words turned into one sentence——

The martial arts in the world are not as good as "First Strike"! In actual combat, First Strike right is the most important! When the strength of both sides is almost the same.

First Strike is equal to winning half.

If we can "damage its key points" on the basis of First Strike.

It's basically a surefire way to win.

"You have read 'Black Tiger Heart Sutra' and have a better understanding of the purpose of Pingsha School Martial Arts"

"It has been detected that you have obtained the true biography of Black Tiger Master"

"The speed at which you comprehend Pingsha School martial arts is increased by 50%."

"The Pingsha School martial arts you have mastered will increase at a 50% speed."

"I feel more and more sorry for Master Qu Feng."

Roger sighed lightly in his heart.

His eyes were full of satisfaction.

He put down Black Tiger Heart Sutra, and before he could check the remaining items in the box, loud footsteps came slowly from the corridor.

Roger smiled.

Alan is indeed impeccable in his work.

"It seems these things are of some help to you."

Soon.

Alan sat down again and looked at Roger with interest.

"It's a big help."

Roger said seriously:

"I think this is a priceless treasure for any Martial Artist."

"I'm actually curious why you don't keep it for yourself."

Alan smiled gently, and gently pressed his generous right hand on his chest:

"My strength comes from here."

"The treasures of other professions are worthless to me."

Roger squinted his eyes.

Combined with Alan's mental outlook and acting style.

He soon had the answer in his mind:

"Paladin?"

Alan nodded calmly.

Roger couldn't help but be in awe.

The strength of the paladin comes from the oath he makes:

Kindness, lawfulness, revenge, abstinence...

Only paladins who abide by their oaths can possess extremely powerful power.

It is different from the secular understanding.

Paladins do not actually have to believe in a certain god.

What they believe in is their oath.

Because it is so difficult to keep an oath for a lifetime, the paladin is a very rare profession.

In the previous life, Roger had only fought one paladin in the game.

As for the Paladin Lord.

He had never heard of it.

After all, as a lord, it is too easy to break the oath! ...

"I'm a little different from ordinary paladin... but that doesn't matter."

As Alan spoke, he handed over another thick file.

"This is the Serra River information that I promised you before."

"Although the content of the agreement has changed, these things will be shown to you sooner or later."

Roger didn't show any pretense and accepted it directly.

The content of the six-month agreement he made with Alan was as follows:

The reason is that Alan found an opportunity to solve the mystery of the Serra River.

He originally planned to go to the Bondrey River at the end of summer this year.

While he was away.

Alan hopes Roger will protect Paramount Manor for him.

The reward is the inheritance of Black Tiger Master.

But now things have changed.

The pressure from Land of Buried Bones is increasing day by day.

The original plan was shelved.

The content of the agreement between the two parties also changed to what they had talked about before.

Roger collected the file.

I chatted with Alan about my experiences in Primitive Forest.

The main thing is the movements of the necromancers and the situation of "Monster Domination Art".

Until dark.

He slowly left Lord's Manor amidst Freya's coughing.

Back home.

Roger discovered that Senluo Farm had undergone earth-shaking changes——

A place that was originally deserted.

Now a series of spacious shacks have been erected.

People's laughter can be vaguely heard.

According to Li Wei.

During this half year.

Senluo Farm moved into 6 families one after another.

The current permanent population is 62, excluding children.

These people are all tenant farmers of Roger.

Not only will they pay taxes to Roger, they will also hand over a large part of their crops.

Warehouse next to the main house is now filled with corn and pumpkins.

These are the products of the hard work of the sharecroppers.

In order to avoid disturbing Master Roger.

Freya specially asked someone to plant a large circle of hibiscus trees near the main house and Warehouse.

Now is the time when the hibiscus tree is in full bloom.

Even at night.

Roger can also see the clusters of colorful flowers.

His mood suddenly became beautiful.

After giving the instruction to "dig your own holes" to the macho boys who were full of Warehouse and had no home.

He climbed up to the attic in three steps.

Open the wooden box given by Alan.

Under the light of bright candlelight.

The remaining two items also revealed their true appearance.

"Katsuki (gloves)"

"Rating: None"

"Special effect: When you equip this pair of gloves, you will not be able to perform martial arts."

"Remarks: Martial arts are killing techniques, but Martial Artist is not a killing machine. Only by knowing how to exercise restraint can one become a great weapon (Black Tiger)"

"Ah this."

"Black Tiger Master's realm is higher than I imagined!"

Roger admired and silently threw "Katsumi" into the corner of the crucible.

Then he looked at the last item.

It was a piece of jade with a simple shape.

Before he could use Qi Divination Technique to take a closer look, there was a reaction on the data column.

"Strange object detected: Crescent Jade Pendant"

"Do you want to proceed with Qi Fate Synchronization?"
