Chapter 1: Two and a half years of practice [full-level archery]

Chapter 1 practiced for two and a half years [full-level archery]

In 1003 of the Holy Hui calendar, the month of the north wind (November).

Emerald Kingdom, Black Mountain Province, Lake County, Blackwater Valley.

The river valley plain is covered with silver, and the smoke is curling up, and there are some small wooden houses scattered here and there.

On a high ground, a not-so-majestic castle was built against the mountain. The collapsed towers and battlements all showed the downfall of the castle owner.

On the hillside outside the castle, in the haystack half covered by ice and snow, a cute snow rabbit is looking for food, while guarding against natural enemies.

Seventy meters away, a young man in a white leather jacket, white velvet cap, and brown snow boots hid behind a tree with a crooked neck, blending into the white snow field behind him.

I saw him slowly stick out his hand, draw the bow and set the arrow. The bow is a military bow rather than an ordinary hunting bow.

Accompanied by the sound of the arrow piercing the air, the next moment, the Snow Rabbit fell to the ground, and its head was blasted by the iron arrow.

[Archery proficiency +1]

[Archery: Level 1 (9999/10000) → Level 1 (Extreme)]

"You can eat roasted rabbit meat at night."

Li Wei licked his lips, and with a thought, he opened the proficiency panel

Levi Snyder———

Archery: Level 1 (Extreme)

Riding: Level 1 (Extreme)

Aristocratic Dance: Level 1 (Extreme)

Basic Fighting: Level 1 (Extreme)

Basic Swordsmanship: Level 1 (Extreme)

…

Looking at the proficiency panel in his mind, the corner of Li Wei's mouth raised.

"The most difficult archery to improve has reached its limit. Now within the effective range of the bow and arrow and within my field of vision, any prey that I target can achieve a hundred shots. Looking at the history of the kingdom, my archery, It is enough to be called a sharp archer. And I am just a knight boy who has been practicing for two and a half years."

"In two and a half years, I have practiced the five basic skills that knight servants need to master: riding, archery, dancing, fighting, and sword. Enough to learn the breathing method."

"Only by learning the breathing method can one become a real knight. In this world where natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, the jungle preys on the strong and even hides supernatural powers, you can barely save your own life."

"After all, the original owner of this body may have been killed by the [evil spirit]."

Li Wei is not a native of this world.

But three years ago, at the time of the first millennium of the Holy Pavillon calendar, the time traveler who was reborn on this noble disciple's body, Goldfinger is the proficiency panel in his mind.

Judging from the last memory of the original owner before his death, when the original owner was fishing in the Heishui River, he caught a female corpse in white with empty eye holes and disheveled hair. Her face was pale and swollen, and her bulging skin was still spraying water. It was suspected to be a folk of this world. A kind of evil spirit described in the legend: the water fairy.

Then the original owner fell into eternal darkness, until his body was occupied by himself.

Later, the baron's vassal, Fred Knight, found himself wet and sleeping by the river, surrounded by a mass of foul-smelling aquatic plants and rotten fish and rotten shrimp, and chanting "I don't have an air force (transliterated by Fred Knight) " and other inexplicable dream words like spells.

This real knight still thinks that Master Li Wei was so angry and mad because he couldn't catch any fish.

And Li Wei naturally didn't talk about the encounter with the evil spirit with other people, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that he was still alive after encountering the evil spirit.

But that evil spirit has become Li Wei's psychological shadow, so far he dare not go to the Blackwater River.

In fact, judging from what Li Wei knows so far, the legend of evil spirits has existed since ancient times, but most people have never seen them.

It's as if there are legends about the extraordinary existence of "wizards" who master wind, thunder, earth and fire in this world, but no one has ever seen it.

Even the well-informed knight Fred, who traveled around the Emerald Kingdom when he was young, only regarded wizards as things of legend.

"Wizard, what a noble and mysterious profession. No matter how strong a knight is, he is still a stronger Muggle. Compared with a wizard, it is like a martial arts practitioner and an immortal."

Li Wei yearned for it, and most legends are not groundless, so after seeing the real existence of evil spirits, Li Wei firmly believed that there must be wizards in this world, not just as simple as the fictional legends of bards.

But he also knows that with his own ability, it is too illusory to pursue a wizard. Looking up at the starry sky, he has to keep his feet on the ground.

So, since he was ten years old, Li Wei has been training his five knight skills. Now, with the help of the proficiency panel, in less than three years, Li Wei has practiced all the five knight skills to the limit.

Li Wei is confident that most of the official knights, such as Sir Fred, are not as strong as himself in terms of basic knight skills, especially the archery that Li Wei is proud of.

Twelve-year-old Li Wei is now 1.75 meters tall. He looks powerful, with a hulking back. Except for his face, which is a little childish, he is stronger than many adult men in other places.

In this different world with extremely low productivity, most malnourished civilian men who grew up eating black bread are not as strong as Li Wei.

This is a backward era when cold weapons are king. A strong body coupled with a knight's plate armor weighing tens of catties has an advantage in battle that is far beyond what a weak body can match.

Now, everything is ready, only breathing method.

Breathing method is not the sooner you learn the better, if you don’t have enough physical fitness, if you force yourself to learn it, it will damage your body at least, and you will go crazy if you are serious.

This is also the reason why knight servants are required to learn such as basic swordsmanship and basic fighting to exercise their bodies before becoming knight servants.

In a good mood, Li Wei picked up the snow rabbit on the ground and turned to go home.

Below the hillside, a middle-aged knight with silver hair looked at Li Wei with a smile on his face, and said in a very gratified tone.

"If the master is still there, he should be very happy to see your archery skills."

This is Knight Fred, who was called "Snake Knight" by his enemies and followers. He was a man whom the Baron told Levi he could absolutely trust.

In fact, this is indeed the case. For Levi, the time he spent with the Baron was far less than that of Fred Knight.

So, to a certain extent, the teacher-student or master-servant relationship with Knight Fred is stronger than the blood relationship with the baron.

"Your Excellency Fred praises me, I haven't done enough, I want to learn breathing techniques, and become a real knight as soon as possible, the winter is coming, the long night is coming, wandering knights or robbers in the wilderness may invade our territory at any time and threaten us I can't live under your protection forever."

"After my father died, we have lost the tulip collar in the south that is like spring all the year round, and the storm collar in the east that is rich in minerals. The barren and remote Blackwater Valley is our last home."

"I am the only blood of the family, for the sake of the Snake family, I must become stronger!"

"The glory belongs to the black snake! And I am ready!"

Li Wei looked unwilling, clenched his hands into fists, and worked hard to act.

"Black Snake Holding a Candle" is the family emblem of the Sneaker family, so the Sneaker family is also known as the "Black Snake Family".

His father, Baron Thord Snake, is not only the Black Snake Knight, one of the "Seven Hussars of the North" that everyone is talking about, a real great knight, but also the Earl of the Tulip Land and the Lord of the Storm Land!

Compared to the Blackwater Valley where it is difficult to develop agricultural production in winter for less than half a year throughout the year, Tulip Collar and Storm Collar are much more prosperous.

Li Wei was born in the Flower City of Tulipland when he was a child, where the climate is humid, the plains are open, and the soil is fertile, which is extremely suitable for settlement and development of production.

Although the Stormland Territory often encounters stormy weather, it is extremely rich in minerals and is also a treasure land.

The period before Li Wei was ten years old was the peak period of the Black Snake Knight. He had five thousand soldiers under his command. This is probably the configuration for the weak Duke.

It's just that all of this is based on the personal power of the baron, the great knight.

If a knight is a well-known master in the world of martial arts and dominates one side, then the status of a great knight is comparable to the presence of a powerful existence in the entire Jianghu in an era like the Five Uniques of the Central Plains.

Only the rare legendary knights, such as "Lionheart Knight Rhine", "Golden Knight Greck", "Blood Knight Brad", "Snowflake Knight Fryer" and other legendary figures can surpass the great knights.

As for the existence of legendary knights, their status in this world is similar to that of Bodhidharma, Zhang Sanfeng, Xiaoyao Patriarch, Dugu Qiubai, or martial arts myths. In most cases, they can only be reduced to combat power in the story. Ceiling tools.

So, the Black Snake Knight in peak condition is the top of the pyramid of the world's apparent combat power.

And such an existence, after being recruited by the Emerald Kingdom and the Holy Brilliance Church against the Tuva Empire by the sea three years ago, never came back.

In the end, Li Wei only waited for the news that the incredible baron and all his soldiers died in battle.

According to the laws of the kingdom, titles are all hereditary, and the three territories of the baron should be inherited by the only son Li Wei, but before the inheritance, it needs to be notarized by a special envoy sent by the king.

Witnessed by the special envoy appointed by the Emerald King, Li Wei became the new owner of the three territories under the baron, at least in name.

In fact, considering the situation at the time, Li Wei took the initiative to return to the remote and barren Blackwater Valley, where Baron Thord made his fortune. This territory had been managed by Fred Knight before.

The Bloody Earl and Silver Shade Earl, who had coveted their father's territory for a long time, actually took over the Tulip Territory and the Storm Territory with the acquiescence of their master behind the scenes, the Duke of Montenegro, and the Kingdom turned a blind eye to this. .

Although legally the territory of each lord is sacred and inviolable, in fact, the feudal lordship system of the Emerald Kingdom has completely changed to this day.

It is common for lords to fight openly and covertly. Li Wei didn't like the feeling of being missed, so he voluntarily gave up the tulip collar and storm collar, two hot potatoes, and dedicated them to the Duke of Montenegro.

As the largest territory in the north, the Duke of Montenegro Province, and the oldest and most mysterious knight among the "Seven Hussars of the North", the Duke of Montenegro has long wanted to take over the south and develop his own power. Li Wei's this The behavior of "prodigal son" made the Duke of Montenegro very satisfied.

Person is not guilty, but Huaibi is guilty. In Li Wei's view, without a large knight and a sufficient number of well-armed and capable cavalry to deter foreign enemies, occupying the tulip collar and storm collar is tantamount to suicidal.

I have a proficiency panel, so I might as well withdraw safely and return to the small mountain nest of Heishui Valley to be a little broken lord.

Li Wei didn't have any idea about being king or hegemony in his heart. He just wanted to practice breathing quietly, relying on the proficiency panel to become a knight, a great knight, or even a legendary knight step by step, and then follow the wizard's footsteps.

After all, judging from what he knows so far, only wizards can achieve his goal of immortality, and only wizards can truly be fearless of those supernatural creatures that are demons and ghosts.

But even though he thought so in his heart, in front of Fred Knight, the most trusted retainer of his father, Li Wei still had to do what he should do on the surface.

Moreover, the practice of knights requires a lot of resources and wealth. The poor are rich in martial arts, and so is this world.

Therefore, Li Wei's plan is very clear, learn breathing techniques, hurry up to become an official knight, then engage in territory, earn some money for his own practice, and after having enough self-protection power, travel to the Seven Kingdoms and embark on a journey to find wizards .

The middle-aged knight Fred quietly listened to Li Wei's youthful ambition, and a gratified smile appeared on his weather-beaten face: "Baron Levi, my master, you are indeed ready now, please follow me."
