Cabin for two with Maid of Mond

Noelle sighed softly when Toth suddenly burst out such a very Fischel word.

"I hope Mr. Todt won't have any gravitational fate with a violent maniac who doesn't know where..."

Toth laughed and said, "Let's not mention the [violent maniac] part, if I meet another kind, what I want to do is actually a little different."

"Another kind...the one that has lived and practiced for a long time?"

"Yes, if that kind of person exists, it may be that he has truly mastered the mysteries of martial arts and elemental power, and has reached a certain... level that I can't even imagine in detail, and can transcend the framework."

"...wait a minute." Noelle looked strange. "Mr. Toth, haven't you been emphasizing that that kind of framework cannot be surpassed?"

"Within what I can imagine and understand, it cannot be surpassed."

Toth spoke quietly.

"So what I'm talking about now is some kind of vague assumption. I believe there are always a few of the [violent maniacs] mentioned above, but I really don't know about the other one."

"It's hard to imagine." Noelle said softly.

"Yes, if it exists and is high-profile, we should have heard about it even if it is a foreign country. Therefore, this kind of person should not usually show his ability too much."

Noelle asked: "You just said that if you really met, your attitude would be different from that kind of violent fate's gravitational force?"

"Of course, if I encounter it, I will definitely... ask for guidance."

Toth made a fist.

"Maybe it can help me break through a difficulty."

Volume Three, Chapter Nineteen, His Goal, Her Goal

"Difficulties..." Noelle thought for a while, and asked, "Does it mean the elemental explosive skill you paired with the one-handed sword? You said that the trick called 'Yellow Dragon' was not completed yet? In order to use it forcibly, even let You fell yourself."

"Oh, no." Toth shook his head and replied, "It's only a matter of time before Huanglong needs to be further perfected, and it's not a particularly burdensome move. Even if it's the current unfinished version, using it directly won't make me fall down."

"Huh? I thought it was because you were not proficient that you caused problems with the element guidance..."

"No, it's simply that the accumulated environmental energy is not enough." Toth shrugged and said, "Think about it, before I used Huanglong, didn't I just use another element burst?"

"……what."

Noelle remembered.

The elemental burst skill called "Phantom Bombardment" was used by Thoth when he first rushed up the hill, and it didn't take long until the Rainbow Feather Giant Wolf rushed down the hill.

Noelle said in a low voice: "Even if the weapon is changed and the corresponding skill is changed...the energy of the same element is still used, not independent of each other."

She didn't use a questioning tone, but spoke in an affirmative form.

If they are independent, it is equivalent to always having twice—or more—elemental energy reserves, and the accompanying, more complex elemental energy control.

This has nothing to do with the richness of martial arts, nor can it be done by deepening the understanding of elements.

Todt nodded and said, "That's right, the energies are all common. After I just demonstrated the combat skills of the bow, I waited a while before switching to another."

"Ah...that's what it is."

Thoth paused and waited for a short time just now, and continued immediately after he finished speaking, so Noelle didn't take it seriously at all.

"What you call overcoming difficulties is to solve this kind of shortcoming...huh?" Noelle nodded at first, but then shook his head quickly: "No, no, it's not a shortcoming, right? It's normal."

Elemental combat skills that rely on their own elemental magic power, and elemental explosions driven by the accumulation of environmental energy, cannot be used continuously at will, and Thoth is just a normal situation in this matter.

Toth smiled and said: "Yes, this is not a shortcoming, but... well, I have another preset goal.

"The distance is still far away, and I don't know if it will be successful, so I won't go into details now.

"I can only tell you first that I can only try to move towards that goal after my production and use of magic instruments have reached maturity, and I have completed the training and research of other weapons and skills."

Noelle was stunned for a while.

"...Magic instruments will give Mr. Toth a great boost, I can imagine that. But... other weapons and skills? Will you practice more combinations?"

The combination of bow and arrow and sword, one far and one near, is already perfect in Noelle's view, and she thought it was the perfect form.

"Yes, it is estimated that there are four groups in total." Todt nodded and said, "Even if we use weapon switching as a self-hint, there is a limit. Four changes are about the same. If there are more, it is inevitable to lose sight of the other."

"That's already...beyond my imagination." Noelle stared straight at the other party, and said, "Besides, there are even more goals beyond this... What realm do you want to go to, Mr. Toth? "

Toth laughed and said: "It's not that exaggerated. No matter how strong it is, it can't be stronger than the power of our Fengshen lord who cut mountains and opened up land in ancient times. Even if it is my expected goal, it is only at the level of a warrior."

Noelle nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

It's not that she agrees with the humble words of "not that exaggerated", it's just that she can't even set foot in Toth's current realm, let alone imagine it.

Then she sighed and pouted slightly.

"By the way, even Mr. Toth wouldn't be able to practice the current bow and sword moves from scratch in just one night, right?"

"Huh? Of course, we chatted with Xiangling very late last night, and I didn't practice at all. Of course, the structure of the skills has already been prepared."

"So, when we discussed elemental skills yesterday afternoon, you already knew these moves." Noelle lowered his shoulders. "The knowledge I mentioned at that time was very basic, and it will not help you at all..."

"No, it helps."

Todt was quite determined.

"Of course, it really doesn't make me feel a big epiphany, but as I said at the time, it is also very important to reorganize and think about the use of elements.

"Like the move of Huanglong, in order to highly integrate elemental energy and physical martial arts, it is especially necessary to review the basics. Originally, the move was still in the stage of theory in my mind, and I only made a few rough attempts."

"Is the degree of completion still lower?" Noelle was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "At that time, you didn't have enough environmental energy to accumulate, and the move itself was not completed, but you forcibly used that move...and caused yourself to fall. "

Toth turned his head, rubbed his nose, and said vaguely: "Well... it happens occasionally. Most of the research and development of martial arts depends on the accumulation of training, but a few moments also rely on epiphany breakthroughs. Or to put it simply, It was just a moment of urgency at the time.”

Noelle lowered her head.

"……Thank you."

Her hands, hanging in front of her skirt, held each other tightly.

Toth broke through in order to save her. This incident caused two contradictory emotions to rise in her heart.

Part of the girl's mind is soaked in the fresh and sweet fragrance of falling berries.

but……

The yearning for the ideal knight, which has not changed since then, is tightly twisted in my heart, even a little painful.

This has nothing to do with whether the other party is strong or not. The picture that Noelle paints in his heart has always been that he provides shelter for others, not the position of being saved.

Her two moves of elemental skills also reflected the expectations she gave herself.

Her thin cherry-like lips were bitten by her teeth.

……

……

After a while, Lei Ze and Keli came back.

In fact, Lei Ze's work is not over yet.

There are quite a lot of wolves in Benlangling, and the place where Keli and Tot met was the farthest group. Before that, Keli ran around looking for different wolves, and burned several woodlands beyond recognition. .

Now the fire has been extinguished by the wolf king's cold wind, but no matter whether it is to confirm the situation of the scattered wolves, or to arrange the corpses of the wolves, they cannot be completed so quickly.

Lei Ze returned at the time when Toth should have woken up based on the wolf king's previous estimation, and he saw Toth talking to Noelle awake.

He returned now, not just to confirm Toth's recovery status, but to have other important matters.

"Lord, I want to see you." Lei Ze said seriously, "Don't worry, I will accompany you."

Led by Lei Ze, they returned to the huge arena-like ruins.

For the time being, there was no sign of the giant wolf.

In the center of the field, a large sword pierced the ground, but its outline was all illusory, and the translucent blade exuded a blue light.

The relief on the wall at the other end of the arena is like the actual sight of an ancient beast, with a cold light in its eyes.

Lord Benlang, North Wind King Wolf, is watching this place.

Three Volumes, Twenty Chapters Wolf, North Wind, Great Sword

Noelle and Keli did not enter the arena, but stayed outside the arena and watched from afar.

Although, according to Lei Ze, the Wolf King only said that he wanted to talk to Toth, and did not specifically emphasize that Keli and Noelle could not keep up... But to be cautious, Toth still asked Noelle to take him with him. Kelly waited outside.

Mainly Keli, Noelle stayed behind to take care of Keli.

Although Toth believed that even if he was as naughty as Ke Li, he would not mess around in front of the wolf king... But if you can be safe first, let's be safe.

Thus, the white-haired wild boy and the black-haired boy from another world walked slowly side by side, stepping into the arena-shaped ruins with countless mysterious light spots floating around.

Compared with the violent scene of surging energy before, today's arena is extraordinarily quiet, only the mountain wind from the outer hills howls far away, turning into a deep hum with a mysterious rhythm inside the arena.

The sun was in the middle of the day, but the light turned to darkness following the steps of the two.

Although it is not a building buried underground, Toth vaguely feels a bit similar to the secret realm.

Or, a closer example...

Todt's hut.

The hut will not change the climate and weather. It is normal for rain, sunny, dark and bright, but the energy of the hut surrounds every corner at any time, and it can even activate the invisible barrier between Toth or Noelle's thought.

Toth didn't know the mysteries of this arena, but he could be sure that this arena was the place where the wolf's will was the deepest and strongest in the wolf-running collar that was already filled with the power of the wolf king.

as well as……

"Which is that sword?" Toth asked.

"Challenge, symbol." Lei Ze replied: "The lord approves, touches, and tests the warrior. If you don't approve and still touch, the lord will be angry and punished with blood."

Todt nodded in understanding.

Approval and disapproval, touch, the result seems to be the same thing.But Thoth knew that for such an ancient and powerful existence, trials and punishments were naturally different.

Based on the impression shown by this wolf king, the trial it gives must still require risking one's life, but naturally there will be room for it, and the difficulty may be adjusted according to the level of the challenger.

The punishment, by contrast, is outright killing.

But what Thoth expected to hear was not just the use of the phantom sword as a trial button.

He was actually looking forward to hearing a story.

In the morning, on the way to the wolf collar, when Toth chatted with Noelle, they chatted about the two knights' histories associated with the wolf collar.

One was "Cub Wolf" Rustan.

Accompanied by the light and shadow of the "Lion of Light", the most glorious and lowest moments of the Zephyr Knights, the Four Winds Guardians who failed to really join forces, and the continuation of that regret spanning 500 years...

When that topic was first mentioned, Toth also said that this may not have much to do with the Benlang collar, it is simply an association caused by the title of the wolf cub.

Later, they heard the explosion and hurried on their way, so the topic did not continue.

After "Cub" Rustan, Thoth was going to talk about something else, another topic...

The wandering knight of the north wind.

It was a story with relatively limited information stored within the Knights Order.

Once there was a knight who traveled with wolves, named North Wind, who came from far away and settled in Mond.

Although the best friend, the wolf, did not like the city and separated, the bond between the knight and the wolf has not been severed. Whenever the knight goes out to fight in the city, the wolf also follows him, just like every day of the previous journey.

However, the precious friendship that cannot be cut off even by lights and city walls, after all, cannot overcome the gap in the lifespan of species.

The wolf passed away first, and the knight took the sword as a monument, and left the city that he tried his best to protect, and returned to the erratic wandering life again.

This may be the origin of "Wolf of the North Wind".

Some foreign tourists, as well as Toth, who is directly from another world, have confused the inheritance of "Wolf of the North Wind" with the legend of "Wolf King of the North Wind", the leader of the running wolf.

After understanding the definition of the guardians of the four winds through the bibliography pointed by Lisa, Toth also looked up the "Wolf King of the North Wind" because of his interest, and sorted out two general directions from the chaotic stories and rumors.

One is the remnant of the ancient demon god, and it is also the opponent that Toth and Noelle were worried about facing when they first heard about the "big monster wolf".

Second, it is the wolf who is the companion of the North Wind Knight.Although the knight started wandering again, the wolf who stayed here forever accepted the wishes of his friends in the form of a soul, and has been guarding the land of Mond ever since.

If it's the latter, then "Wolf King of the North Wind" and "Wolf of the North Wind" are actually related.

But they are all legends, and no one knows the truth.
