Zongman: Daily draw

Considering that Loki's family invited him here this time, it is most likely because a new type of species appeared at the last Monster Festival, right?

What else can you find me for?

Link thought so as he took big strides and walked towards the interior of the Dusk Mansion without fear.

The beautiful blonde swordsman was standing in the courtyard at this moment, wearing backless armor as usual, matched with over-the-knee boots. The actual defensive power of this combat attire was actually average, mainly due to Loki's bad taste.

At this time, Ai Si also saw Link walking into the courtyard, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Mr. Link, welcome to the Twilight Pavilion."

"What's with this gentle wife vibe?!"

The lesbian elves Lefiya and Loki happened to be strolling over here, and saw the two people greeting each other. They couldn't help but yell and inserted themselves between the two, separating the man and the woman.

"What? It's Loki."

"Hey, hey! What's with that tone of voice of yours that sounds like you've seen a fly?!"

Loki opened his mouth in dissatisfaction and bit Link directly. Link dodged easily, and Loki missed and fell to the ground, looking like a dog that had eaten shit.

Link spread his hands, indicating that her fall had nothing to do with him.

"Okay, Loki, what's the matter with you calling me here this time?"

"cut!"

Loki got up from the ground, squinted his eyes, as if nothing had happened just now, and put his hand on Link's shoulder with a sly smile, obviously getting to the point.

She asked quietly: "Link, you upgraded to LV.4 so quickly, do you have any secrets? Can you teach me? Don't worry, I will never tell anyone..."

"The secret is to experience life and death, that's all."

Loki was obviously not satisfied with Link's perfunctory answer, but she continued, "I heard that you are very good at swordsmanship. Can you teach my Ai Si Tan?"

"That's fine. But you didn't ask me to come here just for such a trivial matter, did you? If so, I'll leave."

“No, no, no!” Loki hurriedly grabbed Link’s hand and said, “We are about to go on another expedition, and this time we want to invite you to join us!”

"Expedition? Why are you calling me for this?"

"To be honest, you should know that during the last expedition, we encountered a new type of monster and our clan didn't have enough weapons, so we had to retreat. This time, we hope you can solve this problem. I know that you have the ability to store items, right?"

The two people were arm in arm.

Looking at Loki's smiling face that looked like he deserved a beating, Link really wanted to punch him.

As one of the strongest families in the city, the Loki family's intelligence work is still very strong, and their storage ability was still noticed by the other party.

Although he no longer hides it as he becomes stronger, he still remembers to find an empty place to store or take it out when he needs to use it.

It seems that there are still some clues that allow Loki and the others to guess it.

For example, why after entering an alley, the things in my hand disappeared out of thin air...

Indeed, there are too many doubts in some places.

Thinking of this, Link didn't intend to refute anything. His current strength was enough for him to deal with most threats.

Just know it if you know it!

He said simply: "Indeed, I can help you solve this problem. So, how much are you prepared to pay for my help?"

"In addition to the drops and magic stones obtained from the monsters you kill, we will give you one-fifth of the overall profit from our clan expedition. How about that?"

The leader of Loki's family, the dwarf Finn, walked out from the side.

He smiled and held out his hand to Link. "Nice to meet you, 'God Slayer' Link."

"Me too, Finn the Brave."

The two shook hands.

The price Finn offered was indeed not small, one-fifth of the total income from the clan expedition, which was a considerable sum of money.

The fact that Finn was willing to pay such a large sum of money was enough to show his sincerity, because as long as Link could solve the problem of weapons reserves, they would be able to advance to deeper levels, which was what they valued most compared to Farley.

But Link raised his mouth...

"But, one-fifth? That's not enough, Finn, I want one-third!"

"One third? Are you asking for too much?"

Loki was the first to feel dissatisfied. She opened her mouth and wanted to bite Link again, but Link held her head down and she could not move forward even a single step.

"Finn, one third of the overall profit. I can assure you that the money you get will definitely not be less than what you got from the last expedition!"

As his level increases, his 'Favor of the World' skill has also been improved, and can already affect the overall drop rate of the team.

With this BUFF, the money earned from this expedition will definitely be more than the last time.

One third is not too much!

"Okay! I agree!"

"Huh? Finn, how could you...!"

"If it's really as Link said, then what about one third? But if you can't do that, I'll have to settle for one fifth!"

"it is good!"

"The specific time of the expedition will be notified to you by then."

After finalizing the reward, Finn left without looking back.

One third, maybe it is indeed a lot for him, I will surprise him when the time comes.

Loki also had a painful look on his face at this time, and walked away angrily with Lefiya.

Only Aisi and Link were left in the courtyard.

"Link... I heard that the last time you received the commission from Goddess Artemis, did you encounter danger?" Ai Si asked.

Link looked at Ais in surprise. The vengeful princess who seldom expressed her emotions actually cared about him at this moment?

Feeling a little embarrassed by Link's gaze, Aisi turned her gaze away and repeated the question, "Are you in danger?"

"Indeed. That monster was a bit tricky, and I was a little injured at the time."

Seeing Link's calm expression, Aisi nodded. She thought of the memory that had made her panic. She stared at Link with her golden eyes: "Is his name Andaris... Is he very powerful?"

"Yes, they are indeed a strong enemy. If Artemis and the others go alone, they might all be killed."

"Link..."

"Ok?"

"I want to become stronger." Aisi looked at Link seriously: "Can you teach me?"

"Of course, no problem. Let's improve each other, Aisi!"

The special training of the beautiful swordsman girl begins.

88. Aisi's Exercise

"Ais, what do you think a powerful swordsman needs most?" Link asked Ais in the courtyard.

"A sharp sword?"

The blond girl of few words still spoke simply and clearly.

"A sharp sword?"

After hearing this, Link shook his head and said, "I once heard about the deeds of a powerful swordsman. To him, everything in the world can be a sword, even a branch picked up from the ground can be used as a sword. So I think that the real strength of a swordsman is not the sword, but this."

Link pointed to his heart.

Of course, it was impossible for Aisi to understand such profound things, so she naturally showed a puzzled look.

Link had no choice but to say, "Let me show you."

Ais nodded.

Link picked an open space at random and took out the most common sword made by the Hephaestus clan from the system space. He took a sword-drawing stance, calmed his mind, and when he was ready to swing the sword, Link felt a clear vision in front of his eyes.

The whole world seemed to lose its color in an instant, but everything became clearer.

In this state, he could even clearly see the texture of stones and leaves, and feel the rhythm of the flapping wings of butterflies in the flowers.

Everything seems to have life at this moment, emitting its own unique breath, either slow or fast, but each thing has its own unique rhythm.

The whole world seemed to come alive at this moment.

This is...

A realm of a swordsman.

Feel the breath of all things.

Link did not choose to chop down with the sword, but instead swept it horizontally. The sword quickly swept across a small half of the leaves, but it was like a breeze blowing, and the branches and leaves were gently lifted up and down like a door curtain.

Not a single leaf showed any marks from being cut by the sword.

Like nothing happened.

Although this attack seemed a bit weak, it was actually a piece of cake. It was actually more difficult to control the sharp edge of the sword and not leave sword marks on the leaves.

Link retracted his sword, his eyes turning to Ais once again.

Aisi nodded slightly. She grasped the Sword of Despair and imitated Link's previous action, casually sweeping it towards the leaves. As a result, the branches were directly cut off and many leaves were also scarred by the sharp blade.

Aisi's pupils contracted. Only then did she realize how extraordinary Link's swordsmanship was. She looked at him in surprise.

With Hawkeye's swordsmanship experience under his belt, Link certainly has a lot to teach Ais.

First of all, we must start by feeling the breath of all things and then cut through the steel.

Cutting through steel is just the stepping stone for a swordsman. Going up to the next level should be cutting through diamond, right?

"That's about it, Aisi. You need to find the weak spot. Even the most common weapon can cut through steel. Similarly, even the sharpest weapon can not cut the leaves."

"Extreme power control?"

As the youngest female swordsman, Ais is of course a rare genius. She quickly noticed every detail of Link's sword swinging and began to learn under Link's guidance.

We have to work harder...

In her heart, Aisi was also cheering herself up.

She closed her eyes and concentrated her whole body on the sword in her hand. She took a deep breath and gently swung the sword towards the branch.

Although it was gentle enough, some leaves still showed sword marks in front of the sharp sword of despair.

Ais frowned and became anxious.

In order to realize her long-cherished wish, she greedily pursued greater power, but her strength has been increasing more and more slowly in the past year.

But the Link in front of him had reached level 4 in such a short time.

How can one make progress as quickly as Link?

"Aisi, she's very anxious."

Livilia, Finn and a few others were hiding in the distance, watching this side quietly. After watching Ais's practice for a while, Livilia was the first to notice Ais's condition.

"Maybe he was hit by Link."

Loki looked to the side with a smile, and Link was there, repeating the actions over and over, teaching Ais.

At first, Link just planned to give him a simple teaching and be done with it, but Aisi had a gloomy look in her eyes, and would look at him from time to time like a resentful young wife.

Uncomfortable under the pitiful, fiery gaze, Link had no choice but to abandon his plan to lie down.

"Aisi, do you want to practice with me?"

Aisi shook her head reflexively upon hearing this, but soon nodded vigorously to confirm: "That's right."

Actual combat is the best way to become stronger.

The two men distanced themselves from each other and confronted each other, with Link attacking first. Of course, he did not use his Zanpakuto. Instead, he used an ordinary long sword made by the Hephaestus family in his hand, and used superb swordsmanship to continuously swing at Ais.

In the courtyard, there were flashes of swords and sabers.
