In everything, there are gains and losses. Christie has understood this truth very deeply.
Now she can finally follow Rhodes again and take a leisurely walk with him in Deep Stone City. Out of concern for the girl, Rhodes does not recommend that she go out alone. ^//^In fact, after so many years of miserable life, the girl is also wary of crowded places. She is eager to go out and see a wider world, but she is worried that she will be harmed, so she can only follow Rhodes. Girls will feel completely safe around them.
And now, she is doing the same.
Rod held Christie's little hand and walked in the lively Shenshi City Market. The bright sunshine shone on the lively market. It was the morning and people were working hard to start their day's work and life. . They hawked their wares and greeted customers loudly.
The combination of Rod and Christie was not eye-catching in the crowd because they both chose to cover their faces with cloaks when going out to avoid unnecessary trouble. This shopping trip was out of interest for Rhodes. Of course, it was mainly to buy Christie something she liked. It was not that Rhodes was unaware of the girl's troubles, but frankly speaking, he had some idea of ??how to solve Christie's troubles. If the two met on earth, then Rhodes could still find something for her to kill time. Ways, such as reading Nine Astronomy or something. But it is a pity that there are not as many entertainment and leisure methods in this world as there are on Earth. People's biggest entertainment is nightlife - this is of course something that Rhodes does not intend to take Christy to try.
The girl followed Rhodes, holding his hand tightly while looking around curiously. For Christy, who had never left the town, the impact and attraction of the huge Shenshi City was very strong. She looked at the houses built on the stone walls in surprise, not far away from the Shenshi City. The huge bottomless mine, the floating ship suspended in the mountain port, the hot lottery market and even the heavily armed guards in a hurry made the girl feel very fresh.
The only regret is that the sisters who were very kind to her are now unable to accompany the girl to visit the scenery here. Since Rhodes came back, Christie has rarely seen Li Jie and others again. They are there every day. He left solemnly and returned to his room in the evening with a pale face. He looked as if he was exhausted after doing some heavy physical labor. Sometimes he even didn't want to eat.
"What are the sisters doing?"
Christie once asked Rhodes this question in confusion, but Rhodes' answer was weirder than the girl expected.
"They want to become stronger."
Christie didn¡¯t quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but she felt that since Rhodes said so, there should be nothing wrong But, what are the sisters doing now?
Thinking of this, Christie couldn¡¯t help but turn her head and look in the direction of the stronghold. .
"Hoo!"
Marlene sighed and sat down against the wall. There were beads of sweat everywhere on her forehead. Beside her, Li Jie was also sitting there on her knees, while Annie was lying on the ground in a large shape. , there is absolutely no reserve that a girl should have. Lando and Joey, who were not far away from them, were even more miserable. They passed out and didn't seem to wake up yet.
What stood in front of the three people was the virtual image summoned from Rhode's memory. The memory summoned in the phantom space can always exist and can move with the holder's mind. So now Rhodes no longer needs to go to the training ground every time. As long as Marlene awakens the Mysterious Ball through her own power, she can bring others into the space for training.
"No, not at all."
Marlene shook her head, bit her lip and looked across the way, where a girl in a blue robe was looking at her with a smile, as if she was her old friend. But Marin will never forget the scene where she completely killed herself in less than three seconds.
Thinking of this, Marin gritted her teeth and felt a wave of unwillingness in her heart.
Fortunately, the girl has always maintained careful self-discipline, so her proud self-esteem did not collapse due to failure. If she, like others, was complacent and extremely proud because of the name of a genius, Marlene would have already found a place to hang herself because of the huge blow.
However, strict self-discipline has not been able to improve Marlene's strength. No matter how much preparation she has made in advance, she will completely collapse under the opponent's attack and taste the bitter fruit of failure again within five seconds. What frustrated Marlene the most was that the girl opposite showed a performance that far surpassed her own.??'s ability to understand spells. There was a time when Marin thought she had found the key to defeat the girl. Because she only specialized in the two elements of wind and fire, and she had five elements to protect herself, the girl's skills should not change much, as long as she could persist. By memorizing all her spellcasting methods, you can make targeted counterattacks. After all, he can use more elemental spells than the girl, and they are also more powerful.
Relying on her own efforts, Marin did remember the girl's fighting skills. In fact, just as Marin imagined, the limitations of elemental magic made the girl's fighting skills lack too many changes.
But unfortunately, she did not taste the fruits of victory.
Because Marlene forgot one thing, in actual combat, it doesn't matter how many skills you have. What matters is whether you can release them at the most appropriate time. It is true that the girl only specializes in the two elements of wind and fire, but because of this, she does not need to think or choose, she can just use them directly. But on the other hand, Marin had too many elemental attributes, so she didn't know how to combine these attribute magics. Instead, she fell into a confused situation, so the result remained unchanged. Although Marin's early efforts caused her to withstand the girl's attack in the first second, she was still directly blasted out in the second second and failed again without any suspense.
Be calm, calm think about what Mr. Rhodes said
Biting her lip, Marlene began to recall Rhodes' words again. He would now gather them every night to summarize their fighting skills and experiences. These things are very useful, especially for those mercenaries who lack actual combat skills.
"You have personally felt their fighting style, and I think you have also discovered the secret of their skills - using the perfect time difference to ensure that there are no gaps that can be exploited and blocked in their attacks, and that they can be used in an instant Continuous attacks. Of course, offense and defense are just means of fighting. And the core of the battle is only one: control and counter-control. If you can control the opponent's actions, then the next battle will be of no concern to you. There is no difficulty. On the other hand, if you are controlled by the other party, you will have experienced the outcome yourself."
control¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
Marin murmured to herself. She could understand the meaning of this word. In fact, it was the same. No matter whether she started attacking or defending, she felt that the whole battle did not go according to her own wishes. She seemed to be a A small boat going upstream was overwhelmed by the violent storm and rough seas, and eventually lost control.
Thinking of this, Marlene frowned. She discovered that she had entered a misunderstanding. Until now, she had still focused on how to prevent and interrupt the other party's spellcasting. But on the other hand, these are just means of fighting. She can try to prevent the opponent from attacking like this, but she can't stop the opponent from attacking like that. She has not taken back control of the battle. Everything is still in the opponent's hands, so her resistance has no effect. have any effect.
In other words, you should not focus on how to defend and counterattack the opponent, but first think of how to break the opponent's control of the battle and bring control to your side?
But in this case, don¡¯t we also have to defend and resist the opponent¡¯s attacks?
What is the difference between the two?
Unlike Marlene, who was frowning and thinking, Li Jie was silently memorizing the fighting skills she learned from that girl. She can also use the techniques that girls can use, and she also knows the principles very well. However, Li Jie has never thought of applying these techniques to attacks, and now, she is like a traveler who has discovered a new world, greedily observing Strange things that have never been seen before.
Although they are all special training, the five people have different moods towards training. Lando and Joey are both rookies. They do not have their own style and persistence, so they are eager to learn from those strong ones. fighting. Marlene already has enough combat skills. What she needs now is how to integrate them perfectly and at what level to use them. Annie is more eager to gain the battle itself. She hopes to improve herself in fighting more powerful enemies. And Li Jie is thinking and understanding the meaning of the technique itself to ensure that she can use combat methods with the same effect.
Rhodes did not expect them to defeat each other. They were members of the top 0 players in the gaming world. Even if these people had certain talents, it would be absolutely impossible for them to have the strength to fight against each other in such a short period of time. But that's not his purpose. He just hopes that Marlene and others can experience the fighting skills and terror of the strongest. These experiences will be very helpful for their future growth - step by step.Advanced learning does have merit, but it is meaningless when encountering emergencies. Just like Marlene, with her strength, she can bully goblin giants and so on without any pressure, but if she is put in front of her. A hydra lizard, then Marlene was immediately dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. This is not only because she has never come into contact with similar monsters, but also because she lacks experience in fighting beings stronger than herself.
It is this kind of experience that Rhodes is cultivating them now. They will encounter many powerful enemies at the Midsummer Festival - at least very powerful enemies for them. If they have not developed enough confidence and experience, then no matter how familiar they are with their skills, it will not matter if they are a mess in actual combat. use.
The only thing that worries Rhodes is that they don't have much time. The Midsummer Festival is only two months away, and in a few days, the ban on the Mercenary Association will be lifted. By that time, they will return to the mission. Go among them. Although according to the current situation, Rhodes does not need to use mission points to ensure that his mercenary group is upgraded to a guild, he does need some battles to help him gather his men. The new mercenaries do not know him well enough. , only by uniting in battle can they truly integrate into this mercenary group.
But in this case, you have to choose a mission that is a bit dangerous and not easy to complete. People always fight on their own when they are relaxed. Only danger and life threats can unite them. Rhodes does not intend to find those ordinary tasks to run the team, so in his heart, he is currently choosing Those missions that are not far away but are not low in risk - only when those mercenaries are fully aware of their own strength will they be convinced of themselves.
But before Rhodes could get the answer, his thoughts were interrupted.
Christie tugged at the corner of his clothes, which made Rhodes withdraw his thoughts and look down at the girl.
"What's wrong? Christy?"
¡°¡Rhode¡what is that?¡±
The girl asked curiously, reaching out her hand and pointing forward.
