Li's path

Chapter 18 Start Again, Target the Dark World
When the New Year's bell rang, the time had come to the 1200th year of the Seventh Calendar, and both Li En and Elysee were one year old.And Li En, who knew the development of the world line, felt that he was one step closer to the outbreak of civil war.

Li En's current state is the first pass of the eight-leaf one-sword style. Counting the eight types of sword skills including Wushou, he has mastered a total of seven types, and some of the types have developed their own changes, but the seventh type has no end. If you can't get in through the door, as long as you master the seventh type, you can directly reach the middle pass and reach a new level.According to Sword Immortal, the seventh type does not have a physical sword technique, but a state of mind, with no thoughts, no thoughts, and natural inaction.It's not that Li En doesn't know this kind of state of mind. Buddhism calls it emptiness, and Taoism calls it free and easy. Li En also read the Diamond Sutra and "Zhuangzi" in his previous life. Unfortunately, whether it's a heart like glass or a free and unfettered tour, he understands its shape and doesn't know it. god.

The more anxious he gets, the more anxious he becomes, the more he can't find the right way. He clearly knows this truth, but Li En still can't bear to be impetuous in his heart.Looking back on the ethereal state of mind when I fought with Laura, it should be the embryonic form of nothingness, but unfortunately it was short-lived, leaving only melancholy.In the final analysis, no matter in the previous life or in this life, he is just an ordinary person. Although he can quickly grasp some things by virtue of accumulation, once the level of self-examination is involved, his performance is no different from that of ordinary people.

Li En thought he was covering it up very well, but how could he hide it from his closest family members? After realizing the anxiety in Li En's heart, the whole family took action one after another.The father dragged Li En to the martial arts competition, the mother was even more sympathetic, and the younger sister stayed close to each other. No matter how stupid people are, they will feel the care of their family members. When they realize that they are wrong, they gradually extinguish their anxiety and enjoy the rare peace with their families. .

When he let go of the burden a little, his mood was unbelievably calm, and he could do everything with ease. He suddenly realized that when he picked up and put down, he always wanted to pick up a lot of things, but he forgot that people's ability to bear is not unlimited. Sometimes when you let go and rest for a while, you can see a different scenery instead.Wu, who had no way to get in, finally opened a gap for him.

After spending an ordinary but warm month in Yumir, Li En is about to set off again. The goal of Li En, who is no longer too entangled with the pass, this time is to learn how to really fight.No matter how powerful a warrior who has not experienced the front line of life and death is, he is still only talking on paper after all. Which strong man who has reached the extraordinary has not experienced several times of hanging by a thread.Li En is still a flower in the greenhouse, fighting against monsters?No matter how dangerous it is, there is a sword fairy by his side, how can he really watch himself die?The fight with Laura was just an unreserved contest.Fighting against Yunkawai, Arios, Lin and others was nothing more than being pointed out, so this time I have to learn real fighting.

Inexplicably, Li En thought of his classmate in the future, Fei Clauser, who was a hunter from the West Wind Brigade. In the battle of reconciliation with Laura in the imperial capital, it seemed to be a draw, but once life and death were fought, he would use any means. If it is above, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that Laura will die in battle.No matter how well-trained the martial arts are, they can't compare to a hunter who pins his life on his belt to know how to fight.

But this time, Li En's destination is still the Republic.The empire currently does not prohibit the existence of hunters, but Li En can't get relevant information, because hunters are usually hired by big nobles to engage in activities under the table. A low-ranking noble on the border who has withdrawn from the social circle wants to get information, honestly. It's hard to say.What's more, the work of hunters is relatively dark, harming the empire for no reason, Li En can't do it.

The Republic is different. The existence of the gangsters in the Oriental Street has given space for the hunters to move about. Moreover, as a citizen of the empire, the chaos of the old enemy the Republic has no psychological pressure at all, not to mention one of the two strongest hunters, Red Constellations have long been active there, too.

Li En, who had made up his mind, bid farewell to his family again.But this time, my younger sister's reaction was very strong. That's right, just like the promise she made to Elysee during her first tour, as long as she reaches the level of the first pass of noble swordsmanship, Li En will take her along with her.After nearly a year of hard work, inherited from her father's outstanding swordsmanship talent and uninterrupted hard training, Elysee finally got the first pass in November last year. Now she has a noble rapier hanging from her waist, and she officially asks her brother to fulfill his promise.

But just as Li En expected, the younger sister's expectations were completely rejected by the baroness couple.The Shu Huaze family still has different education for their son and daughter. The reason they agreed with their son to go out and run around is because Li En has been calm since he was a child, and since Teacher Dayun came, he often goes to the mountains for special training. The special training lasts for one or two months. The ability to take care of oneself is reassuring, and secondly, the son of the empire will gallop like a golden army horse with the national emblem. Although the baroness and his wife are very reluctant, they still follow their son's wishes.

As for the daughters, they should inherit the lady education of the imperial traditional aristocrats, self-cultivation is the first priority, and social etiquette is the second. Even the empire with strong martial arts will definitely not let girls who have not stepped into the social world go out and travel alone .Even Laura S. Arceid, the future inheritor of Ragram's Alcide style, will not let her go out to practice alone before Viscount Victor reaches adulthood, let alone the most important Schwarzer family. The apple of the eye is Elysee Schwarzer.

"No, no, I must go with my brother!" Suppressing the tears in her eyes, Elysee hugged her brother's arm, unmoved by her parents' persuasion.

"Elyse, running around with your brother is very tiring. In the past, when you went to the mountains to practice, it was normal for you not to take a bath for ten days and a half months." Mother still has many ways, and things that don't matter to boys are a major disaster for ladies.

"Isn't it just not taking a bath for ten days, and me too." I couldn't continue, and Ai Lixie's face turned blue. Will it stink if I don't take a bath for ten days? Will my brother not like it?

"Also, Elysee, your brother is going to those chaotic areas this time. It's very dangerous. Dad can't guarantee absolute safety if he goes by himself. If you go with him." Teo received the wink from his wife and started talking nonsense. But it hit Li En's plan.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo brother, brother, don't go to such a dangerous place. Wouldn't it be nice to be with Alysee? He hugged his brother's arm and never let go.

"No, I can't go. Teacher Yun put the eight-leaf secrets there. The senior brother and the second senior brother got the secrets from there before. How can I not go?" Seeing his parents blinking at him, Li En was decisive. Lied and sold the teacher by the way, anyway, Elysee doesn't like you, so you can always help me take the blame.

"That, I won't go this time, but my brother wants to make an agreement with Alice, and he must come back safely from there. Anyone who violates the agreement will swallow a thousand needles." Alice stopped crying slightly , stretched out his little finger with a slight sob, and looked at Li En expectantly.

"The hook." Li En felt his sister's mood, his little finger hooked her little finger, and the thumbs were pressed against each other. It seemed that there was another reason for returning home safely, "As compensation for not being able to take Alice out, I When you come back, you must bring the cutest puppet as a gift, okay?"

"Hmm." My sister smiled like an angel.Li En stroked her long hair with a warm smile, no matter how cruel and bloody the dark world is, as long as there is light in my heart, I will not get lost.

In the 1200th year of the Seven Lunar Calendar, on February 2st, Li En set off from Yumir again, and entered the Kalvard Republic two days later. On February 1th, he arrived in the eastern part of the Republic where the Orientals were most powerful, and was involved in a local conflict between the aborigines and immigrants the next day. He used the protection guide as an excuse to show his strength, and began to enter the sight of local organizations.In three days, after experiencing several temptations, an invitation letter appeared in front of him. On February 2th, Li En saw the hunter at the headquarters of a medium-sized local gang. Since then, Li En began his journey into the dark world.
