Chapter 16

"What kind of weapon do you want to use?" Seeing that Zhao Mai's attention had returned to the right way, the old man asked him. There is a box in his tree hole. When it is opened, it is all old equipment, with different sizes and styles.

Without the old man's explanation, Zhao Mai understood the origin of these weapons. This must be the spoils of battle after battle. It was accumulated by Rangers through victory. So you can see the saw blade of the Kobold, the double headed axe of the orc, the spear tail halberd of the Centaur, and the double-edged machete of the Jackal.

Although the martial arts is completely zero, Zhao Mai's vision is definitely across the level of time and space. From primitive human bone sticks to Star Wars lightsabers, high manganese alloy swords to high-frequency ion vibrating knives, his theoretical knowledge - or brain holes - surpasses anyone else in glarion. All kinds of heroes from ancient times to modern times, whether in history or from literary works, are in his memory. What we should do now is to choose the most suitable path for ourselves.

When it comes to the weapons of Rangers, one will think of the bow and arrow skills of fairy Rangers, and the other is the airtight net of double swordsmen. These two roads are very good, both in appearance and power. But if you think about it carefully, if someone can reach the peak, it doesn't mean that it is the most suitable thing for most people to learn, especially for Zhao Mai, who has no foundation. He's just a human being. He can't spend a hundred years training these two kinds of martial arts like the elves or the dark elves.

If he has been exercising for 100 years, Zhao Mai will definitely choose Taijiquan or find a way to cultivate his internal skills, which is more reliable than any double swordsman.

His understanding of martial arts is to defeat the enemy on the premise of protecting himself. It's very difficult to have both offensive and defensive with one kind of weapon, so he soon figured out his own path.

"Shield and short spear," he said to the old man, finding the corresponding words, "shield is the main thing. Short spear or sword or hammer will do."

This is the safest way. Survival comes first, and it doesn't affect flexibility. He has already chosen the shield, which is the spare tire of his car. Although it sank a little, but find a rope to fix it. This is the strongest artifact shield!

Short spear, also known as one handed spear, is a weapon that can only be used to stab. When raising the shield, only the simplest and shortest stab can guarantee that the defensive hand will not be affected. The ancient Spartan soldiers combined shield, short spear, battle array and iron smelting technology with their military culture to create a legendary army. Zhao Mai thinks that it is most suitable for him to take this way of fighting as the basis.

As for after that, he must also learn distance, such as crossbow or something. Carl's crossbow is a light crossbow. He can shoot with one hand (but he needs to cooperate with both hands to wind it up), and it won't affect his shield. Anyway, Zhao Mai's aim is to hide behind the shield, watch others fight and kill, and focus on mending the sword.

This choice has no obvious advantages, but also no disadvantages, Karl agreed. In fact, he was worried that Zhao Mai would choose some flashy combat skills, such as double holding sword and dagger. That kind of martial art needs the cooperation of the steps, and Carl doesn't know those steps, for fear that he will teach bad.

Shield and spear are much simpler, and they need less movement to learn. The movement of shield includes five skills: guard holding posture, block, slide, pull, top and smash. The rest is enough strength, keen reaction and continuous concentration.

To use a spear, there is only one action: stab. Because the other hand has a shield, Zhao Mai can only consider attacking with a spear instead of learning to defend with a spear. Carl, the old Ranger, took out his pen and paper, drew a figure, and then began to talk about the methods of basic combat skills training.

He divided the plane in front of Zhao Mai into nine squares, marking numbers separately like a computer keyboard. 1 represents the attack from the bottom left, 6 is the center right, and 8 is the top. As long as you can defend the attacking grid, and then catch the enemy's undefended grid to stab, you can win.

This is a very simple and concise way, easy to understand. He took his own wooden shield and made the basic actions of defending nine squares, one by one for Zhao Mai to imitate until he got it right. After that, he picked up a stick, yelled numbers in his mouth, and launched the corresponding attack.

Don't think about empty moves, don't think about skills, only think about simple block, this way is the foundation of the foundation. Zhao Mai listens to the number, in the brain must react quickly, but also must make the correct movement. At first Carl's stick was very slow, then it gradually accelerated. Zhao Mai had to keep up with the rhythm as soon as possible.

Strength, speed and skill are the core components of martial arts, but they need to be built on a certain basis. Carl may not be able to cultivate a master of martial arts, but as Zhao Mai's entry master, he can't be more suitable. He guided Zhao Mai step by step, watched him gradually form the most basic reaction, determined that he had mastered the basic movements, so he let him practice by himself.

Putting down the light wooden shield, Zhao Mai picked up the heavy spare tire shield. His center of gravity was crooked by this thing. It was not easy to stand still. It's not impossible to practice with a light shield first, but if you don't have the spirit to bear hardships, how can you improve faster? There is no pressure, there is no motivation, and it is not that others are embarrassing themselves, but that they put forward their own requirements, there is no reason not to work hard!He practiced one action at a time, gradually getting familiar with the center of gravity and inertia of the spare tire shield. Muscle soreness is nothing. Zhao Mai's only regret is that he doesn't have a big mirror. If you can have a whole wall mirror like the dance training room, it will help you to correct your movements.

When he was training, the poodle couldn't lie on his shoulder. The little guy is not far away. He pays close attention to Zhao Mai's training with his big eyes open. His little tail swings. As long as Zhao Mai's action is standard, his tail will swing quickly; if he doesn't do it well, he won't be too lazy to swing. Although it's incredible to let a dog correct his training, it's a fantastic world, isn't it?

As it gets dark, Carl, the knight errant, stops Zhao Mai's self training and goes to the kitchen to cook with salt. Zhao Mai wanted to follow him, but he couldn't lift his arms. In his life of more than 20 years, he has never been so tired or so satisfied. He doesn't need praise at this time, because he can feel his progress.

Zorro, the orc, squints his head at Zhao Mai, turns his mouth, and follows Carl to the kitchen. Today's dinner will have cheese and liqueur from Nebo, which he has been salivating for a long time.

Soru doesn't like "Mike" who doesn't come to help and sits in the yard waiting for dinner. He thinks it's "weak and useless". "Teacher, are you going to make him a Ranger?"

"No, he can't be a Ranger. He won't stay here forever." Carl thought of the way Mike came to the world, and knew that sooner or later Mike would go. He shook his head and asked soru to fetch some more water.

The orc's strong shoulders are becoming wider and wider, and soru is much better than himself in physical fitness. He can take over the position of a Ranger in strength, endurance and speed. The only thing that worries Carl is the orc's nature.
