A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 360 The Strangest Talent in the Universe

Clang!Clang!Clang——

A series of clashing sounds of gold and iron resounded from the top of the tower, and was immediately restrained in a room by some kind of force.

Below the tower, Seymour, who was leaving with Lyanna and Oak, suddenly stopped, turned his head strangely, and looked at the top floor of the tower.

"What's the matter, Seymour?"

"……nothing."

Seymour shook his head, muttering 'strange' as he resumed his stride.

On the top floor of the tower, the sound of metal and iron clashing quickly subsided.

Lin Yi stood there calmly, his clothes were not in the slightest mess.

Opposite him, Astor, who was dressed in silver armor, was panting slightly against the corner of the wall, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was leaning on a silver long sword in his right hand, with an expression of disappointment and satisfaction.

"You really defeated His Excellency Fandral by relying on your sword skills."

"……if not?"

Lin Yi asked casually, and picked up the little black cat that had been put down before.

Hearing Lin Yi's rhetorical question, Astor smiled, took out something from his arms and threw it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi reached out to catch it, and found that it was a black irregular object in the shape of a triangular pyramid.

"This style...doesn't conform to the aesthetics of elves?"

"Yes, Dark Elf."

"Ah, it's true."

Lin Yi fiddled with it a little, and the object in his hand suddenly changed. The black metal stretched and closed, revealing cracks glowing red, and projected a red three-dimensional projection in midair.

Looking at the picture displayed in the red projection, Lin Yi couldn't help frowning.

This is exactly the scene where he controlled the silver-white flood dragon to hit the black spaceship.

"This is what you got from the downed spaceship!"

"Yes."

"No wonder you said that just now." Lin Yi shook his head and said, "You think I crushed Fandral with great strength, so you want to try it yourself."

"Sorry, I took the offense."

"It's okay, you should have said it from the beginning, I prefer straight-forward swordsmen."

"But at first I didn't know your strength."

"……Um?"

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows with a puzzled expression.

Astor smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Juggernaut, you don't have to doubt it. My first respect for you was true. It was only after seeing your great strength that I became suspicious."

"You may have also heard that elves have evolved a special stubborn emotion in order to cope with the long life. This stubborn emotion will make elves extremely obsessed and thirsty for their hobbies."

"At the same time, due to the nature of elves and the bad environment of Alfheim, most elves will choose flowers or singing and dancing as hobbies, but I am different, I choose swordsmanship!"

As he said that, Astor's handsome face showed a trace of pride, but it was followed by a trace of sadness.

"1000 years have passed, and I have never regretted my choice, and I have always been proud of my swordsmanship talent, thinking that I am a swordsman that can be counted in Alfheim and even the Nine Realms, until I met Fandral. "

"At that banquet that year, he held a wine glass in one hand and a long sword in the other, and defeated me so easily and gracefully. Since then, I have realized that what I am proud of Swordsmanship talent may not be a big deal."

"The Nine Realms are too big, and the universe is too big, so big that people have to feel a little afraid."

"So please believe me, I have understood the vastness of the universe long ago, and I have passed the stage of fighting for supremacy long ago, so when I heard the news that you easily defeated Lord Fandral, my admiration and yearning are all from inner heart."

"..."

Looking at Astor who was looking sad, Lin Yi frowned slightly.

"Is this what Fandral taught you?"

"No, I figured it out myself."

"It's not like you figured it out." Lin Yi shook his head, "Astor, you've reached a dead end."

Astor was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "I just exhausted my talent...Your Excellency Juggernaut, let's not talk about this, you should have seen my two children just now, right?"

"I see, why, you want to send your son to me as an apprentice?"

"Of course it would be great if it is possible, but I don't think that kid can get into your eyes. Although he also chose swordsmanship, his talent in swordsmanship is not high, not even comparable to Lyanna, let alone Me, when I first started learning swords..."

"I took it!"

"My swordsmanship teachers..."

Astor's words stopped abruptly, and he stared at Lin Yi in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"You... what did you say?"

"I said I took it."

"But...do you want to think about it again? The one I want to recommend to you is Lyanna. Her swordsmanship talent far surpasses Seymour's, and even surpasses mine."

"But she didn't choose fencing, did she?"

Lin Yi patted Astor's shoulder, with a carefree smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Would you like to make a bet?"

Astor was startled: "What bet?"

Lin Yi walked to the balcony, turned his back to Astor and said, "You think that Seymour's talent is not as high as yours, and his future achievements are limited, but I don't think so, I think his future achievements must be higher than yours...why? Like? Do you want to pick it up?"

"..."

Astor fell silent.

Lin Yi glanced at him sideways.

"Astor, this is not just a bet. You said that you have passed the stage of fighting for power, but even I have not passed this stage. Why do you want to pass this stage?"

"..."

Astor was startled again.

But at this moment, Lin Yi had already shown a hint of impatience.

"Just say whether you want to answer or not. If you don't answer, I will drive you away!"

"...I'll take it! I'll take it!"

Astor nodded quickly.

For some reason, when he said these words, Astor suddenly felt an inexplicable joy in his heart, but before he could savor it carefully, Lin Yi, who was originally on the balcony, had already appeared in front of him in an instant , patting his shoulder vigorously with his right hand.

"Then it's settled, send that kid to my room before tonight."

Lin Yi patted Astor's shoulder with a smile on his face, but Astor was still shocked by Lin Yi's ghostly speed.

This kind of speed... even without sword skills, you can easily send the blade into your heart!

What's more, at such a terrifying speed, he can still protect the little black cat sleeping in his arms from being affected. How terrifying and precise control is required for this!

Looking at the little black cat that was still sleeping soundly, Astor couldn't help but sigh more and more.

When he came back to his senses, Lin Yi had already opened the door of the guest room.

Astor quickly stopped Lin Yi and said loudly.

"Your Excellency the Juggernaut, what about Leanna and the others?"

"They, let's send them together too. One sheep is herding, and a flock of sheep is also herding. Tell Evelios, I can teach Lyanna and Oak by the way, and enlighten them on swordsmanship, but it's only limited to Yalf Heim."

"I see... wait!"

Astor suddenly realized something, and an ominous premonition surged in his mind.

"You mean, you plan to take Seymour out of Alfheim?"

Lin Yi paused, turned his head and looked at Astor with a strange expression.

"Of course, my apprentice will naturally follow me."

"But……"

"No but!"

"Seymour is only a hundred years old, and still a..."

"One hundred years old is old enough!"

Lin Yi interrupted Astor's words mercilessly.

Looking at Astor who seemed a bit reluctant, Lin Yi sighed in his heart, and decided to use the last big move.

"Astor, to tell you the truth, you are doomed to lose this bet, because I have discovered something special about Seymour. He has a very strange talent, which I named 'Medium' talent'."

"Medium talent?"

"Yes, you may not have heard of this talent, which is normal, because it is one of the most peculiar talents in the universe!"

Looking at Astor who was stupefied by himself, Lin Yiyu said earnestly.

"People with this kind of talent can have achievements close to the median no matter where they are. For example, if you lock Seymour in Alfheim and let him grow up with Lyanna and others, then his His future achievements can only be regarded as mediocre, and will definitely be inferior to Lyanna, but if you put him in a group of more talented geniuses..."

"Then he will achieve mid-level achievements among that group of geniuses?!"

Astor's eyes gleamed, obviously limp by Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded seriously, and then said solemnly: "Astor, don't worry, I will definitely find a group of the most talented geniuses as Seymour's brothers, and I will never waste this child's precious talent."

"Then... Seymour, please!"

Astor bowed to Lin Yi with a serious and dignified expression, and then turned around in a trance, obviously not recovering from Lin Yi's flickering.

Lin Yi looked at Astor inexplicably, then turned around and walked into the room, closing the door behind him.

Then... a bright smile could not help but rippling from the corner of his mouth.

"It has been detected that the player has master qualifications and is activating [Master-Apprentice System]..."

"Congratulations to the player for successfully activating the [Mentor-Apprentice System], now start searching for apprentice candidates."
