250: The bright future of the Wind Sword School lies in Dick's hands

Chapter 250: The Bright Future of the Wind Style Sword Technique Lies in Dick's Hands

Alice's punishment didn't last too long, as she still needed to practice End Magic diligently. Therefore, Dick left the manor in the afternoon.

Before heading to the Eternal Frost Forest, Dick still had an important person to visit: Yasuo.

As for this Level 67 Swift Swordsman, ever since he ambushed Dick twice in the Underground City, he had already paved his way to death.

The reason he was kept alive was simply for another purpose.

Besides completing the tasks issued by the System, Dick had four other important goals for going to the Eternal Frost Forest.

The first was to complete the Class B Special-grade practical assessment, the second was to resolve the trouble with Fama, and the third was to obtain Vivian's sacrificial kiss.

The last goal was the sheathless sword, the inherited sword of the Wind Style Sword Technique. Its rank had long reached Quasi-God-rank, and Dick was very covetous of it.

If everything went smoothly, Yasuo would die from a certain "accident" during this trip, and the sheathless sword would be willingly given to Dick by him.

As a Quasi-God-rank magic item, the sheathless sword had already nurtured an artifact spirit within it. If it were forcibly plundered, it would most likely self-destruct.

That's why Dick planned an accident to smoothly "transfer" the sheathless sword into his hands.

Afterward, as long as he found a Blacksmith above Level 70 to temper the sheathless sword, it would directly transform into a true Divine Artifact!

Yasuo lived in a cheap inn in the outer district, deep within a narrow alley where carriages couldn't pass. Dick had to get off early and walk.

Although Yasuo was a high-level Swordsman, because he spent all day challenging people to duels and neglecting his proper work, his life was quite impoverished.

Helping Fama search for the longevity divine medicine was a commission Yasuo had taken, with a generous reward. Unfortunately, he ran into Dick and failed.

Had Dick not spoken up to save his life, Yasuo would have already been liquidated by Fama, just like Joseph and Hazel, dying in the desolate wilderness.

Despite Yasuo's strong power, he was absolutely no match for Fama, even though there was a restraining relationship between Swift Swordsman and Mage, and even though the two were only 4 levels apart.

It was all because Fama had broken through Level 70, which was the watershed for all professions, bringing about a qualitative change in power.

Even if Yasuo was Level 69 and Fama was Level 70, a difference of one level would still result in being completely overwhelmed.

Before long, Dick knocked on Yasuo's door.

Soon, Yasuo, holding the sheathless sword, opened the door. He reeked of alcohol, and the strong smell of wine from inside the room hit Dick's nose.

Dick subconsciously looked inside and saw that empty wine cans were piled up on the table, on the floor, and even on the bed.

There was another reason for Yasuo's poverty, and that was alcoholism.

He could skip meals, he could skip sleep, but he absolutely couldn't skip drinking.

As the best companion for a frustrated middle-aged man, alcohol had become an indispensable part of Yasuo's life.

Not only that, but Yasuo was also quite particular about the wine he drank, and being particular meant expensive, starting with fine wines worth three-figure gold coins.

This was also why Yasuo, as a Level 67 Swift Swordsman, never managed to save any money.

With him like this, who would be willing to take him as a master and inherit the Wind Style Sword Technique from him?

But it didn't matter, Dick was willing to tolerate all of Yasuo's shortcomings and become the disciple of his dreams.

Yasuo seemed a bit embarrassed by Dick's visit and subconsciously used his body to block the view of the messy room.

"Dick, my little friend, why did you suddenly think of coming to see me today? Are you done with your matters? Let's go to a restaurant outside and have a good chat. My treat..."

Yasuo had already determined in the Underground City that Dick possessed the Wind Style Sword Physique and was a very rare successor. He didn't want to show his embarrassing side.

But soon, Yasuo touched his empty money bag, and the awkwardness on his face deepened.

Dick had anticipated this and didn't expose him, but instead smiled and shook the wooden basket in his hand. "No need for so much trouble. As a junior visiting, how could I not be prepared?"

As he spoke, Dick slowly lifted the burlap covering, revealing fragrant and delicious dishes in the wooden basket.

Not only that, but Dick had also thoughtfully placed several bottles of fine wine inside.

This was not ordinary wine. It was a collection he had casually taken when he controlled Cecilia's body to visit Enzeer in Wine Country yesterday.

Although it wasn't top-grade fine wine like first snow or beloved, it was worth at least several thousand gold coins, which Yasuo usually couldn't afford at all.

Seeing Dick being so sensible, Yasuo's mood was incredibly joyful, and he also became even more fond of this disciple who had not yet formally apprenticed.

Half an hour later, Yasuo, while eating delicious dishes and tasting fine wine, repeatedly praised Dick's youth and accomplishments.

"Honestly, I've traveled around the Northern Countries for over ten years and seen many young talents, but I've never seen anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you..."

"Those noble children, relying on their family's protection, have received the best resources since childhood, but in the end, they are just ordinary..."

"It's hard to imagine that you, a commoner from a poor background, have achieved so much in less than a year. Even tavern stories wouldn't dare to make this up, hahaha..."

These words of praise were all from Yasuo's heart. Dick's excellence even made him feel that inheriting the Wind Style Sword Technique was somewhat beneath him.

However, upon second thought, the Wind Style Sword Technique could be relocated, directly moving from the Toya Empire to the Aimiya Empire.

As long as Dick mastered the Wind Style essence and obtained the sect's inheritance, he himself would be the representative of the Wind Style Sword Technique. The few broken houses at the sect's original location didn't represent anything.

Moreover, Dick had immense power in Amyria, and he could completely support the Wind Style Sword Technique, making it bigger and stronger in the Aimiya Empire...

The more he thought about it, the more excited Yasuo became. Coupled with the effect of alcohol, he felt at this moment that a bright future was right before his eyes.

Everything depended on Dick, whether he was willing to accept the Wind Style inheritance, whether he was willing to... take him as his master.

"Dick," Yasuo rubbed his slightly red nose and tentatively said, "I remember you said you hoped to further study the Wind Style Sword Technique."

Hearing this, Dick smiled and nodded, saying with a sincere face, "That's right. I feel that the Wind Style Sword Technique is very suitable for me. It seems... I was born to be a Wind Control Swordsman!"

"Wind Control Swordsman..."

Listening to Dick's somewhat yearning words, Yasuo was stunned for a moment, muttering in a low voice, and a sharp glint soon shone in his eyes.

"That's right, Dick, you are a born Wind Control Swordsman. As early as in the Underground City, I knew you had the Wind Style Sword Physique, and you are most suitable for learning the Wind Style Sword Technique."

"Wind Style Sword Physique... Do I really possess this one-in-ten-thousand physique?"

Dick's acting was superb. He pretended to be questioning, with a face full of disbelief.

"You definitely do. Come with me to the Adventurers Guild later. You'll know as soon as you get a physique test!"

Yasuo was incredibly excited. He seemed to see the scene of the Wind Style Sword Technique flourishing in Dick's hands.

However, Dick changed the subject and feigned helplessness, saying, "But I have to leave Amyria early tomorrow morning and go to the Eternal Frost Forest in the Northern to undergo the Elite assessment..."

Just kidding, Dick knew he didn't have the Wind Style Sword Physique at all. As long as he underwent a physique test, he would definitely be exposed.

Back in the Underground City, the various characteristics Dick displayed that were extremely close to the Wind Style Sword Physique were just to fool Yasuo.

"It's okay, it's okay. We can test when you come back," Yasuo said, then felt something was not right and added again, "I'll go with you. If anything unexpected happens, I can protect you!"

"That would be too inconvenient. The journey is tiring, it's really too much trouble for you!"

Dick used the tactic of letting go to catch. He said casually, "Although the Elite's practical assessment is very dangerous, I might die in the Eternal Frost Forest, but perhaps this is also Fate. I should accept it calmly..."

As expected, before Dick could finish speaking, Yasuo immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, "No! Your Fate is to carry forward the Wind Style Sword Technique. I will definitely follow you tomorrow!"

Seeing Yasuo's determined look, Dick could only reluctantly accept and repeatedly thanked him.

Something unexpected will indeed happen on this trip, but it won't be me, it will be you!
