Chapter 529: Combat Skills Teacher Bernard
Bernal, a character in the Elden Ring, is one of the first characters that players can meet.
The first time you meet him is in the dilapidated house after passing the level. He teaches people combat skills.
Since Professor Bernard's fighting skills just met Gong Qiying's needs, he appeared here exactly as he was.
But the adventurers didn't know who he was.
"Why did a strange old man come out?!"
Sai Ke sat down on the ground in surprise and blinked blankly.
"It seems to have run out from the small house next door." Qiao Kela did observe the details, but was still a little confused about the situation.
The situation doesn't matter. This weird uncle looks very strong. The armor that looks too heavy is not something that ordinary people can wear, so he must be very powerful.
So their current situation is that they are going to be saved by this tough guy who came out of nowhere?
“Ouch!”
The wild wolves let out a miserable howl and pounced on Bernard in vain, but this made people wonder if their teeth could really bite through the opponent's heavy armor?
Bernard's feet suddenly became blurred. He didn't know what movement he made, but he dodged the wolf's attack in a flash and moved to the other side. The heavy two-handed sword chopped down and cut the wolf in half.
This is the combat skill [Broken Steps]!
At the same time, three wild wolves quietly circled behind him, jumped up and launched a fierce attack on him.
"Be careful!" Sai Ke was about to step forward to help, but he had no strength to move. If his armor had not been chopped to pieces by the soldiers in front of the checkpoint, he would not be as embarrassed as he was now facing the wolves.
Bernal did not panic, but instead stepped forward and a bright light appeared on the blade.
There was only the sound of the air being broken by a huge force. He turned his body drastically at a speed that was almost invisible to Saiko's naked eyes, and swung his sword to behead the three wild wolves!
Combat skill [Spinning Slash]!
The remaining wolves had already begun to retreat, and some of the weaker ones had turned around and wanted to escape, but the knight before them would not give them a chance.
Bernal performed small steps continuously and appeared in the middle of the wolf pack in the blink of an eye. He smashed down with the two-handed giant sword in his hand. In an instant, the hard ground was shattered. Red and hot magma surged in the cracks in the ground. Just a little bit of it was enough to make people suffer from excruciating pain.
"boom!"
As Bernal pulled out the two-handed giant sword, hot magma gushed out in an instant, submerging all the surrounding wolves. It was like a small volcano erupting here!
Combat skill [Lava Magma]!
“Wow wow wow!”
The remaining magma flowed in all directions. Sai Ke screamed and stepped back repeatedly, and his shoes were almost caught on fire.
The magma ignited the surrounding vegetation, thick smoke rose from the flames, and the red flames completely dispelled the chill on the Storm Hill. Even the storm that had been lingering here for a long time temporarily subsided.
Bernal turned around in the fire, and his resolute face, which perfectly matched the image of a "warrior" like the protagonist in a heroic legend, looked at the adventurer and asked:
"Are you all right?"
Qiao Kela swallowed and nodded with a complicated expression. No one knew what she was thinking.
"So strong!" But Sai Ke's situation was much simpler, his eyes glowed brightly like a fully charged flashlight.
He had a very unique vision and could tell at a glance that Bernal's temperament was different from that of ordinary people. It was obvious that he was the afterimage in the dungeon.
But this was exactly what he expected. He rushed to the other party and asked excitedly:
"So strong! Was that a combat skill you just used? Can combat skills reach that level?!"
Looking at Psycho who had transformed into a fanboy, Bernal couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a handsome uncle's smile, and said, "Are you also a fan of combat skills?"
Sai Kede nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.
"Then come with me. This is not the place to talk." He patted the boy's shoulder. A strong sense of security was transmitted into Sai Ke's body through this big hand. He followed without hesitation.
"Hey" Jockla wanted to say something, but her companions had already jumped into the house.
"Really?" She shook her head with a headache, turned her head to look at the wildfire that was getting bigger and bigger because of the magma, and said with a desperate expression: "Don't you guys have any idea how to deal with it?"
In the dilapidated house.
"My name is Bernard. I'm a knight, and a Faded One like you." Bernard's tone, actions and appearance all revealed a sense of competence.
"My name is Sai Ke!" Sai Ke said immediately. His nose twitched. Why did he smell a burnt smell coming from outside the house?
"Sike, then I want to ask you a question."
Bernal looked at him, his expression becoming even more serious than during the battle, giving people the feeling that they had entered a plot in the game where they had to make a major decision.
"Will you stay in this border area and keep fighting?"
"Even if the Golden Rule is broken beyond repair, will you still trust in the guidance of the Blessing?"
After hearing this, Sai Ke thought for a moment and said, "Of course."
What a joke! He finally opened Sion's dungeon within his reach and succeeded in pursuing his dream. Of course he has to stay here forever. If he says he won't come here again, it will only be death that separates him and Sion!
Young people’s thinking is so simple and pure!
Bernard had no idea what he was thinking, so he just nodded and said in a nostalgic tone:
"It is a role model for those who have faded. It is really precious to have such thoughts at this moment."
He changed the subject and said, "Then, are you willing to inherit my fighting skills? I only know how to use a sword, and I have put all my efforts into fighting skills. I want to pass on my fighting skills to a faded person like you."
Sai Ke was stunned. He picked his ears and asked, "Excuse me, what did you just say?"
"I said, I want to pass on my fighting skills to you."
"I do!"
He had been eyeing Bernal's fighting skills from the very beginning. It was clearly just an ordinary spinning slash, but when performed by the other party, it seemed to be invincible as if it could slay gods and exterminate demons. There was quite a bit of extraordinary meaning contained in it, which made him involuntarily indulge in it.
Moreover, the effect of that move [Lava Magma] seems to be no different from magic. There are very few fighting skills that can achieve this level, and most of them are the secret skills of a certain family's fire martial arts school.
Now that he heard that Bernal was willing to teach him combat skills, how could he not be excited as he was just an ordinary person with no access to the higher-level combat skills of the Warrior Kingdom?
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Jockla, who was soaked all over, staggered in, her face looking a little pale.
"He said he is willing to teach me fighting skills!" Sai Ke said excitedly, but after seeing the other party's appearance, he asked again: "Hey, why are you wet?"
Jokla's eyebrows twitched and a "well" character appeared on her forehead. She really wanted to punch the stubborn guy in front of her hard.
If she hadn't gone to such great lengths to put out the fire with water magic, Storm Hill would now be renamed Firestorm Hill.
"Are you willing to teach you? That's really a cause for celebration."
Jokla looked at Bernal with complicated emotions in her eyes.
Not long ago, she was thinking of refuting Psycho by saying, "The magic in the Sen Dungeon is taught by instructors, but your combat skills are not taught by instructors," in order to prove that the Sen Dungeon still values magic more.
And now a real combat skills teacher suddenly appears?
None of the instructors at the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic are so lifelike!
What's going on? Is his fighting skill going to get better?
She subconsciously fiddled with her hair, wondering what she would do if Sai Ke got angry with her in the future. However, Sai Ke was now completely immersed in excitement and had completely forgotten to argue with her about who was the stronger in magic or fighting skills.
"I can teach you too," Bernard suddenly said to Jokla, "It would be best if the fighting skills could be spread widely."
"Hey, can I learn it too?" This time it was her turn to be stunned. She couldn't help but ask, "Can a magician like me learn it?"
“There is no discrimination in education.”
Of course, the necessary Rune is still indispensable.
Jokera was stunned for a moment, looked at the magic circle in her hand, and suddenly a serious look appeared on her face, "I want to learn!"
"Can I learn the trick of spurting out magma just now?" Sai Ke asked quickly.
Bernard shook his head and said, "That move is too early for you. Start learning from the most basic fighting skills first."
Sai Ke was a little disappointed, but soon immersed in the joy of being able to learn more fighting skills.
The combat skills he can learn now are all simple, plain and easy to use.
[Arrow Step] and its derived movements, [War Cry] that excites the spirit and inspires strength, [Endurance] that strengthens the body, [Piercing] with charge and shield-breaking effects, [Breaking Steps] that moves quickly with light steps, [Storm Blade] that launches a spinning storm, [Whirlpool Slash], [Block], and so on.
According to Bernal, he gives certain instructions so that adventurers can have the most basic understanding of combat skills and then he will give them the combat ash of the corresponding combat skills. He is just a guide. If adventurers really want to turn combat skills into their own strength, they still need to work hard to gain insights when using combat skills again and again.
At present, these are just the most basic combat skills. After learning these, if Sai Ke can become stronger, he can also teach more advanced combat skills, which are advanced versions of the basic ones.
This is undoubtedly a great motivation for Sai Ke.
However, learning combat skills also requires physical fitness. Even these basic combat skills are a bit difficult for Sai Ke and Qiao Kela to learn with their current strength. They still need to strengthen themselves in the blessing place as soon as possible.
In addition, even for combat techniques that Saiko has already learned, such as [Lion Slash] and [Vacuum Slash], Bernal can give guidance to help him go further.
This is the after-sales service launched by Sen Dungeon - [Combat Skill Enhancement], which strengthens the combat skills attached to the adventurers' weapons to make them more powerful.
Of course, whether learning or strengthening combat skills, the most basic things are needed, that is, Runes.
Unfortunately, because of repeated deaths in front of the level, the two of them couldn't even afford to learn the cheapest rune, [Small Steps].
Sai Ke was very sad about his current situation of being penniless. He patted his chest and ran out, shouting, "I will definitely save enough runes to come here. Wait for me, Mr. Bernard!"
That's how little Sai Ke's life went.
Heading towards a bright and smooth path.
