The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 4: Tavern Brawl
(Note: The recommended background music for this chapter is "City of Intrigues" from The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt soundtrack.)
When Amavite stood up, he had already made up his mind. Since he was going to fight, he could test his own level and see what level this group of free mercenaries was at.
He watched the mercenaries prepare, and after making sure that the other side did not take out the crossbow, he said to the guards: "Don't kill anyone, the rest is up to you. This Aule is mine, and you can handle the rest."
His Royal Highness moved a few steps to the side and hooked his hand at Aule: "Aule, right? You challenged me, and I accepted. Come on."
The four guards drew their swords and formed a battle formation of 3 in front and 1 in the back, and walked towards the mercenaries, looking very relaxed.
Drina drew out his two-handed sword, and stood still with the tip of the sword on the ground.
Although the prince had killed several death row prisoners, he still had too little practical experience, so he was a little worried. As for the guards, 4 to 6, without crossbows, he was not worried at all.
Of course, the mercenary Aule was not afraid, and the boy on the opposite side poked his finger in his face. He stepped out with a two-handed battle axe, and rushed towards the black-haired boy with a fierce roar. In fact, he felt a little guilty for some reason, and he didn't know why...
Amavit slapped the end of the scabbard with his left hand, leaned the upper handle forward, and pulled out the steel sword from his shoulder with his right hand.
Oli was not slow, and after the battle, the battle axe chopped towards Amavet's left shoulder.
The prince tapped his left foot lightly, dodged half a step to the right and front, and wiped the steel sword with his right hand towards the opponent's elbow.
Oli didn't expect his opponent to be so calm and his steps were so good, not like a novice at all. He quickly rolled to the right, a little embarrassed, and his elbow was cut and bleeding, but at least his left hand was saved.
Since it was a battle, there was no reason to hold back. When the opponent dodged, Amavet slid and followed, stabbed down with the steel sword, and stabbed wherever he stabbed.
Oli's arrogance had a certain confidence. When he rolled up, he took the opportunity to lift the battle axe and knocked off the stabbing steel sword.
Amavit felt the strength coming from the long sword, and followed the force of the long sword and jumped back. He made a sword flower with his right hand and hooked his left hand to Aoli.
Aoli shouted, stepped forward, and swung his battle axe horizontally.
Amavit jumped back to avoid the axe, stepped hard on the ground with his back foot, and hit the enemy's arm with the weight ball of the hilt with the momentum of his whole body before the enemy recovered.
Aoli was completely unable to stand now, and was about to fall sideways, but finally supported himself with his left hand to save his face.
Amavit would not wait for him to stand up, and the steel sword slashed horizontally downwards along with the force.
When Aoli stood up, he only felt a chill in his knees, and his right leg collapsed. He rolled on the ground twice before he stood up in fear with the axe. His right leg might be broken.
The prince shook the steel sword to avoid leaving blood, shook his head and put the sword back into the sheath.
This mercenary is ordinary, with too many flaws.
After a brief moment of shock, Aoli was furious. He rushed towards Amavit again with his right leg limping and his battle axe in hand. But he was even slower with his limp.
His Royal Highness made a spell with his left hand and breathed out frost.
Aoli's left leg was frozen in the blink of an eye, and both legs were useless. He fell to the ground with a scream, and his battle axe flew away.
The mercenary lay on the ground and looked at the black-haired boy: "Magic?"
"What else?" The prince walked towards the guard officer and looked at the guards, and found that they were unharmed.
The only two remaining mercenaries on the opposite side had been surrounded. Drina pounded his chest and saluted, whispering: "Your Highness, you have improved again."
"He is too weak, there are flaws everywhere." Amavit shrugged and said: "What is the level of this Aoli among the mercenaries?"
"Well, it's average, it's really average. There won't be too strong mercenaries in Temeria. Covir in the northwest is where mercenaries like to go."
Amavit nodded and looked at the mercenaries who were still resisting: "Hurry up and finish it, throw the people to Dorian City Guards to deal with. Well... I had a good night, they can move freely. I'm going back to my room to read. There's no need to leave anyone at the door. I will set up a magic trap. If you have anything, knock on the door. That's it."
"Understood, young master."
The prince walked towards the tavern. Almost all the drinkers in the tavern came out to watch the fun. When they saw him coming, the crowd automatically parted ways.
Amavit told the bartender who opened the door for him: "Just bring some snacks, and my milk. Send it to the room."
"Okay, sir."
...
Back to the room, take off the armor and weapons, and wipe the body casually.
It took less than 30 seconds to fight this battle, and I didn't even break a sweat.
Magic traps were set on both sides of the doors and windows. Small pieces of magic crystals are enough. It's not difficult.
If the traps are not removed, whoever comes in will be frozen.
He took out the tools and maintained his weapons while reflecting on today's battle.
First of all, the people here are generally stronger than the people on Blue Star. Compared with adults, Amavit's strength is still small and his physique is not up to standard. At the same time, thanks to the elf bloodline, his agility attribute is slightly stronger.
So the current melee still needs to be based on lightness and rhythm. The main attack is that you can't hit me. But the small strength also leads to insufficient attack power. Don't think about a fatal blow for the time being, you can only cripple and then kill.
Secondly, when encountering an evenly matched enemy, you still have to focus on magic. He has a high talent for magic.
In August of the year when he was 12 years old, with the help of teacher Tissaia, His Royal Highness completed his "magic source" awakening on the other side of the lake of the palace castle.
That summer evening, a quarter of Lake Vizima was frozen, and the grass and huts by the lake were frozen to a crisp.
Since then, Amavit's eyes have changed from brown to ice blue, much like his mother.
At the same time, Amavet also confirmed his elemental affinity, high affinity for ice. When casting ice magic, the difficulty of casting drops sharply, the casting speed is extremely fast, and the spell strength increases.
Third, even with magic, his offense and defense are too immature, and he can only mix in the humanoid circle at present.
He will kneel when encountering large monsters such as petrified chicken snakes, demons, and pterodactyls; he will kneel when encountering famous warlocks; he will kneel when encountering demon hunters who have been apprenticed for more than 3 years; he will kneel when encountering famous mercenaries.
Alas, there is a long way to go.
Fourth, according to his current combat power, when facing more than 3 professional combatants, even if the enemy's strength is within an acceptable range, the combat tolerance rate is still very low. This situation needs to be avoided as much as possible.
Fifth, since learning swordsmanship, Amavet has found that he prefers dangerous close combat to long-range attacks.
Although the battle today was not fierce, the feeling of adrenaline surge when the enemy's sharp blade was approaching made him obsessed. From the beginning to the end, he was not nervous at all, but looking forward to it.
He was a good man from childhood to death in his previous life, but was he actually a berserker in his bones?
The prince began to learn swordsmanship at the age of 10, first with the court swordsmanship teacher, and later with Drina. After learning court swordsmanship and Temeria military swordsmanship, he spent most of his saved pocket money to hire 4 demon hunters from different schools to teach him. Because demon hunter swordsmanship is more useful when dealing with monsters.
His swordsmanship foundation is now very solid, and he needs to practice and fight day by day to make progress.
…
In the tavern room, Amavit opened the [Book] interface of the learning machine and began to study the "Mind Bewitching" he had just obtained.
It must be said that compared with the magic textbooks of Aretusa Academy in this era, the teaching materials provided by the learning machine are really easy to understand and well-organized.
A magic spell is divided into several links in an orderly manner, and the casting principle, spell model, casting result, and precautions of each link are described in detail. Finally, the links are connected, and the key to the continuity of each link is described, as well as the practical experience of many casters.
In 2 hours, the learning progress of this book in the learning machine has reached 100%, which is also related to the fact that the magic spell is not complicated.
[Tip: Because of the new knowledge ability "Mind Magic", the ability point is rewarded +1. ]
Amavit looked through his current overall attributes.

Psychic magic and illusion magic have always been the two most difficult things for His Royal Highness to learn magic. This is a talent problem. If you can't learn it, you can't learn it. Note ②
……
Note ①: The highest value of each item for humans on Blue Star is 10.
Note ②: In the world view of this book, magic is a huge system. It is not a certain subject that is comparable to it, but the entire natural science. I temporarily divide the entire magic discipline into 14 sub-disciplines: the energy system, the element system, the protection system, the prophecy system, the illusion system, the mind system, the summoning system, the necromancy system, the spell system, the natural system, the enchantment system, the space system, the time system, and the general magic. It is not a faction, but a discipline. The various disciplines are not independent of each other but penetrate each other. For example, the summoning of the fire element is considered to be a summoning magic because its final casting effect is to summon a fire element. But in fact, its casting process can be decomposed into: locating the dimension-space system, element perception-element system, biological seduction-summoning system, signing a temporary contract-general, opening the dimension channel-space system. It can be seen from this that you cannot become a qualified magician by only studying one subject, whether you want to be a combat magician or a research-oriented magic scholar. It's like studying physics without mathematics, you will always stay in junior high school.
