Chapter 10 Talking about the Sword Hall
West of Coster City, there were bustling sounds everywhere in the torch tavern in the civilian area.
The smell of inferior cigarettes and alcohol, and the smell of sweat that does not take a bath for a few days or even dozens of days. As the most lively tavern in civilian areas, it is full of all kinds of gangsters, gangsters, lower-class workers in society, alcoholics, gambling sticks, prostitutes...
"Have you heard that? Feiyang Knights College is going to recruit students again, I plan to try it."
"Haha, it's up to you? I remember that you have practiced a basic skill for five years before you can reach the level."
"Have you heard that? The Ulanlis in the north discovered the traces of the demon."
"Hmph, did those blasphemers create it again?"
One by one, the news was constantly heard by Fang Xingjian. This was the third day he had arrived in Cost. In the past three days, he had basically found out about the general situation in the entire city.
As one of the largest cities of the Sinkoda Empire on the west coast, Cost is a huge port for maritime trade and one of the political and economic centers of the west coast.
Here, people with dark hair and dark eyes like him can often see it, because it is said that on the other side of the sea, on the distant Western Continent, there are people like him everywhere.
However, Fang Xingjian knew that although his appearance was similar, the other party was not an Asian on Earth.
As the center of politics and economy, it shoulders the responsibility of a trade port, and the entire Cost City is extremely prosperous. Here, there are certainly many organizations that provide people with learning and upgrading.
As a world that is used to upgrading, skills, expertise and attributes, even the elderly and children in this world have physical qualities that are far beyond those of the earthlings, and they can even learn martial arts more or less.
Here, it is natural to upgrade and become stronger, and everyone hopes to change their lives through their strength.
In Cost, ordinary warrior schools, martial arts academies, dojos, halls, etc., the seven most famous places in the city that provide martial arts learning are collectively called Mingzhu Seventh Academy.
The so-called pearl refers to the pearl of Cost, the west coast of the empire.
Then, according to Fang Xingjian's inquiry, there are two companies in the Seventh Academy of Mingzhu that are famous for their sword skills, namely the Sword Hall and the Tracia Knights Academy.
Among them, Dave Tracia, the founder of the Tracia Knights Academy, was a god-level strongman who reached level 30 more than a hundred years ago. Over the years, he has trained a number of famous strong men, famous generals and masters. Although Tracia Knights Academy has weakened over the years, he can definitely rank among the top three in the Seventh Academy of Pearl.
As for the sword hall, it's a lot short of it.
First of all, the Sword Museum in Cost City is just a branch, and the Sword Museum’s real main hall is located in Deha, the capital of the Empire, which was once a super institution that was as famous as the entire empire.
But Cost City said that the Sword Hall was defeated in the competition by the previous owner and was seriously injured. The current owner is too young and lacks strength, so it has been declining over the years and has been ranked last at the Seventh Academy of the Pearl, and is even considered to be incomparable to the other six Academys.
However, a very strange thing is that Fang Xingjian has been in Cost City for three days, but he has never heard of the magic pattern.
It seems that there has never been a magic pattern transfer on this continent. In this world, the transfer method passed down from ancient times is still carried out, and all the secret methods of transfer are monopolized by major organizations and royal families.
Moreover, their understanding of wizards is very shallow, and most civilians do not even understand the power of wizards. This kind of information is even worse than that of many cultivators in the Demon City.
‘The wizards blocked the news themselves?’ Fang Xingjian said in his heart: ‘Are they really the magic pattern, as the government said, were developed by the people on earth themselves?’
Fang Xingjian couldn't think of any reason, so he could only continue to listen to various rumors around him.
"Hey, have you heard of it? The Black Witch King has accepted another personal disciple."
"Oh? I don't know who was so unlucky and was taken to study by those blasphemers."
Upon hearing this news, Fang Xingjian's expression slightly condensed.
"Witch King...Onasis..." Fang Xingjian's fist turned slightly white, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.
He clearly remembered every second, every sentence, and every word in the seven days.
Yulanlis, one of the six major countries in the mainland, is a country ruled by wizards. The three strongest wizards among all wizards are also the only three wizards who reach level 30 god level, and are called the Witch King.
Among them, the Black Witch King is the one who is most interested in the earth and supports the joint and communication between the two parties.
The Earth...Demon City...Demon Patterns...Onasis Family...Witch King...Everything seems to be connected.
Fang Xingjian could instinctively feel the secret hidden in it, but he also knew that now is not the time to care about these things. Learning sword skills and becoming stronger is the most important thing for him at the moment.
‘Then it’s about the sword hall…’
Compared with the Tracia Knights Academy, which cultivates nobles and retainers, in addition to martial arts, it also requires learning various rituals, theology, language, military, administrative management and other skills, and also requires various recommended people, qualifications, and backgrounds. Or, a place like the Sword Hall where everyone can register is suitable for Fangxing Jian.
In particular, the legend says that many sword skills passed down from generation to generation are collected in the Sword Museum, which is even more attractive to Fang Xingjian.
So the next morning, Fang Xingjian arrived early at the entrance of Shuoshen Hall located on Chengdong Street.
The deserted streets, the rusty iron gates, and there is not even a single gatekeeper. It seems that the Sword Hall is indeed much more down and out now.
Fang Xingjian tried to push the door, and found that the iron gate was not locked at all. He stepped directly and walked in. After turning a bay, he could see more than a dozen academies in the martial arts factory practicing sword moves and chewing kung fu with their practice sword swords.
A young man wearing a gray training suit was walking on the training ground while guiding the students to practice swordsmanship. The young man's blonde hair closed his eyes and looked a little malnourished. The training suit was almost washed white, and there were several patches on the sewn. He looked poor and depressed, and only his slightly exuded heroic spirit seemed different from ordinary people.
Seeing Fang Xingjian appear, the young man showed a kind and expectant smile on his face. Even though Fang Xingjian now looked like a penniless homeless man, there was no impatience in his eyes.
"Hello, I mean Kyle, the owner of the Sword Hall. Do you want to learn swordsmanship? We say that the Sword Hall has a history of 150 years, but it is the first swordsmanship site in mainland China.
I see that you have long five fingers and strong limbs, and you are definitely a good seedling for practicing swords. How about whether you should practice swords here? As long as you are talking about practicing swords in the sword hall, we will be assigned a change of careers. As long as you pay the tuition fee, you can learn and teach all sword skills..."
Fang Xing's sword face was slightly stunned. It seemed that the situation in the sword hall was even worse than the rumors.
He interrupted the other party and said directly: "I'm here to learn swordsmanship."
"Oh?" Kyle laughed: "Okay, okay, but you have to pay the tuition first. Once you pay in half a year, there are thirty copper coins in total."
Thirty copper coins, Fang Xingjian earned about 100 copper coins on the road, and the tuition fee was really inexpensive. He nodded and handed the money to the young man.
Kyle accepted the money happily, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
