This Prince Louis is really not a human being. He discovers his own mental flaws faster than he can make up for them.
The main character is so tired that he is out of breath.
One can indeed feel that in this process, his true self is no longer a macro-conceptual framework, but a small and detailed concept and development direction.
This kind of refinement is a kind of spiritual growth for the Curse Swordsman. Over the years, he has never stopped optimizing his Self-God.
But now the progress of cultivating this kind of self-god is so fast that it makes him crazy.
I repaired my true self and adjusted my visualization method, which was essentially an analysis and interpretation of my own thinking patterns and concepts, which gave him the illusion that he had been completely exposed in front of Louis.
Um, that sounds weird.
"Okay, your ego now has no fatal flaws. It's up to you to refine it next." Louis closed the Eye of Truth and felt that he had consumed a lot of energy.
Seeing Kane looking at him quietly, Louis said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you just looking at me?"
Kane hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever learned visualization before?"
"No, this is the first time."
"first?"
"Yes, I can only say that after borrowing your Prison Dragon Ball, I took a good look at the treasures of the Gene family's past generations, and a wave of ideological collisions occurred."
"You are really amazing. You understood and analyzed the Self-God so quickly. It takes ordinary spell swordsmen many times to do it."
Louis thought for a moment and said, "If it's within ten times, it doesn't take much extra time."
Kane: “…”
He doesn't want to talk anymore.
He felt that Louis was annoying again.
"Are you okay? If you're okay, I'll leave first." Louis yawned. He didn't expect that by helping the little Dragon King repair his original self, he could get a powerful inheritance of the Gene family for free.
No matter how you look at it, this is a win-win.
"I have almost finished dealing with things here. I guess Lord Cialdini will also have to fight with you."
Cialdini is the real name of the sword master.
After hearing what Kane said, Louis said nonchalantly: "Just fight him, I've already made an appointment with him anyway."
"Can I watch the fight then?"
"Do you think you can?"
"……oh."
Kane looked a little lost.
At this time, he looked a bit like a big kid.
Louis didn't say much.
The battle between him and the Sword Master was not suitable for outsiders to know about. No matter who won or lost, the most appropriate result was not to be disclosed to the outside world.
Firstly, it is to avoid certain public opinion disputes among the people of the two countries, and secondly, they do not want their background to be known by outsiders.
To be precise, it is the master of the knife whose background is not suitable for outsiders to know, but Louis is not one of them.
He doesn't rely much on saintly realm skills, but rather on pure and powerful means of destruction.
This is why he easily agreed to Cialdini's request for a sparring match. It didn't matter if the fighting methods of the Holy Realm were known. Even if they were widely publicized, he would only laugh a few times, and then use nuclear explosions to blast them to pieces when fighting against them.
On the contrary, knowing the power of the sword master is more important to him.
After the greedy desire for knowledge was strengthened through visualization, the learning ability evolved again.
Louis has made some attempts in the past few days. He was even able to overcome professional restrictions and forcibly learn the skills of monks and paladins and transform them into skills suitable for his use.
You should know that even the extraordinary origins of these two professions are different from those of the Nine Swords and Cursed Swordsman. The skills developed based on the extraordinary origins can now be forcibly learned. This is not a skill thief, but a skill robber.
However, Louis lost interest after doing this only a few times.
Or maybe I'm not that interested at the moment.
The effects of other professional skills that are forcibly adapted to the Nine Swords system are slightly different from the original ones.
Although this gap may not seem to be a problem for the time being, when masters fight, the slightest gap can become a fatal loophole.
At present, he has not found a way to improve these skills, so he simply doesn't spend too much time on this aspect.
Instead of focusing on this, it is better to focus on the new Curse Swordsman system he has mastered.
After all, he is now the commander of the army.
"Cialdini, please don't let me down."
With this thought in mind, he received news that the knife master was coming to visit that afternoon.
Seeing this famous saint again, Louis felt that his mental state seemed to be much better than before.
"It seems that you have been working hard to improve your mental state while I was helping the Little Dragon King." Louis said with a smile, "Didn't you yell at me to be more serious before?"
Cialdini smiled and said, "The past was the past, and the present is the present. Before, I thought you underestimated the intensity of the competition, but later I realized that was not quite right."
His eyes were extremely serious, obviously the result of long consideration.
Louis narrowed his eyes.
He could sense that the edge of the sword master had now been honed, and it was obvious that he really wanted to compete seriously with Louis.
Let’s fight! Louis also felt a little excited.
He was growing so fast that it had been a long time since he had a purely technical exchange with others.
Even Alice, who is considered a berserker, is not too happy to fight him now.
In her words, she would sharpen her knife for two years before beating him hard.
But Louis felt that after she had been sharpening her knife for two years, he would be able to defeat her with a flick of his finger.
"I'm looking forward to this competition." Louis smiled and said, "How about we schedule it for tomorrow?"
"Why not today?" The sword master licked his lips and said, "I can't wait any longer."
Louis shook his head and said, "I have two friends to meet today."
The Sword Master sighed and said, "I still say the same thing. I always feel that you don't look like a Saint Realm expert at times. For people like us, it's normal to be brave and aggressive. We were restrained if we didn't fight on the spot."
Louis said: "Now you see it, but this is not your problem, it's my problem. I came to the holy realm by chance, so naturally I don't have the same high requirements as you. For me, learning martial arts is for living."
Knife Master: “???”
I don’t know why, but after hearing him say that, I wanted to hit him even more.
Damn it, are all the princes of the empire so asking for a beating now?
"Okay, tomorrow then."
The sword master secretly made up his mind that he must show this guy what pure skills are tomorrow! ...
After the sword master left, Louis turned around and took the little swan to the Adventurer's Guild.
But this time he put on full body armor and transformed into the adventurer Caesar again.
Because the two "guests" I met today were Alice and Grace.
Speaking of which, last time he and Little Swan were exposing each other's secrets in a private room at first, but when it came time to really do it, he brought her back to the palace.
Otherwise, if he brought Little Swan to meet the two of them today, she would probably still feel uncomfortable.
"Why are you blushing?" Louis tapped the little swan's slender waist. She giggled for a long time, then patted Louis' armor in embarrassment.
"Why are you so hard?" Her hands were sore from slapping.
Louis looked at the slightly dented armor without saying anything. He just stretched out his hand and touched her slightly red palm and said, "Even though you have my power, you can't harm yourself like this. Don't you know what kind of equipment I have now?"
In the past, Louis' full body armor was Enser's standard armor, but now his full body armor has been upgraded.
That was a composite armor made by Rimuru using his own skills, and its performance far exceeded that of conventional selected equipment.
From a physical property perspective alone, this armor has reached the limit of what ordinary armor can achieve.
With enough hardness to support legendary battles and super high magic conductivity, it can be said to be the best of the best.
He planned to find some time to ask skilled craftsmen to draw magic circles on the equipment. After enchanting it, the maximum effectiveness of this thing could be brought into play.
...But it was the little swan who took action.
The little swan looked a little awkward.
She was not used to it. When facing others, she was always very careful when taking action, for fear of crushing them.
But Louis is different.
No one knew better than her how strong Louis was. They all knew that no matter how much she made a fuss, he would not really hurt her, so when facing him, she did not control the strength of her attack.
When Louis entered the room, he saw two cats and dogs lying on the chairs, too lazy to move.
The two men looked exhausted, as if they had been drained of their energy. The little swan was so scared that he went up to check them out, and finally came to a ridiculous conclusion.
Tired.
"What happened to make you so tired?"
Louis reached out and grabbed Alice, who didn't want to move, and saw her say with a look of dejection: "I got something I wanted, but I was a little out of breath due to the intense hunting missions during this period."
Louis was speechless.
How many tasks did this guy have to make her, a model level player, so tired?
"Have you found the final materials for the Ruby Blade?" Louis knew that after Alice took office as the Ruby Guard, she had been looking for materials to build the Ruby Guard's special weapons.
As the T0 version of the Nine Swords advanced profession, the Ruby Guard is also a purely powerful profession type.
But if the Ruby Guards want to unleash their full strength, creating weapons specifically for them that can be adapted to divine magic is of utmost importance.
After all, the source of the Red Jade Guard's power comes from a certain irresponsible goddess, and the source of power has changed from pure blood to an additional divine power blessing effect.
If they simply use ordinary weapons or magic weapons, it will greatly restrict the Ruby Guards.
But Alice obviously wanted to make the effects of various weapons compatible, so the materials needed to build such weapons were very scarce.
"MapleStory is really ruthless. They sell things at such a high price, but they are the force that can obtain the materials most easily."
Alice rolled over on the wooden chair in agony, grieving the fact that her adventure points had plummeted.
Louis thought for a moment, and suddenly said to Alice: "Are you in a hurry to create your own weapon now?"
"Can you not be anxious?"
"Can you wait for 10 days?"
"Why wait?"
"I can't tell you the specific information. I can only say that we are about to have a technological breakthrough, which is likely to produce some kind of material that is extremely beneficial for the creation of special weapons."
"Hmm? Very impressive?"
"It is prepared to be used to create a divine tool similar to Roxy's." Louis said calmly.
Rimuru's evolution has entered the final stage. In two days at the shortest and ten days at the longest, he will be able to evolve into a Kingdom Slime.
By then, the production of special biometals will become possible. As we all know, any small breakthrough in any of the three major pillars of modern high technology (materials, energy, and information) will drive the rapid development of science and technology as a whole.
This kind of thing will also be reflected in the extraordinary world.
Rimuru's biometallic properties might even lead to changes in the career system, and if Alice was willing to wait, he wouldn't mind helping her.
As he thought about this, he looked at Grace, who had been silent.
From the moment they came in, Alice was able to at least move a little, but Grace was almost speechless.
"What happened? You look so depressed. You are totally different from the Grace I know."
Grace whimpered for a long time without saying anything. Alice smiled and said, "Don't call her. She has never suffered such great malice in her life. This wave of Saint Maiden training has made her feel very uncomfortable."
"What do you mean?" Alice said, and the little swan also became curious.
Alice spread her hands and said:
"Need I tell you? Grace will appear in the Rockhi Empire, so where is her place of saintly practice? I don't need to say more."
Louis suddenly realized, looked at Grace sympathetically and said, "It must have been very hard during this period. But why were you sent here?"
Grace whispered, "I am following the instructions of the oracle. My path of practice must start from here."
Louis just felt a little overwhelmed.
There is no record in the Future Diary that Grace came here to practice.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The important thing is, there is obviously something wrong with the place where this saint practices.
In previous years, the main purpose of the Saint's practice was to spread the ideals of the Church of the God of Glory and Justice. If the number of believers could be increased, it would be a great success.
This would be fine if it happened in other countries.
But this is Roxy!
It is one of the few godless lands in the Star Continent, and the only country among the major powers based on countries where there is widespread agnosticism.
To practice as a saint in a country that does not believe in God is as difficult as hell.
"No, the church values you very much, so why would they place you here? Is your oracle serious?"
Alice raised reasonable questions.
She had seen how much importance Grace had received in the church. Wouldn't it be misleading to arrange such a training area for her? Perhaps sensing Alice's thoughts, Grace shook her head and said:
"No, God said that this land is about to undergo a great change. Whether it is for glory and justice or for missionary work, I need to be here."
Louis' expression changed slightly.
Because he knew very well that there would indeed be drastic changes in the Rockhi Empire in the future.
And the reason he came here this time was to see if there was any chance to stop this drastic change.
For example…the death of the Sword Master and Roxy’s precarious situation.
