In the straw hut of Windmill Farm, Weeden personally poured a glass of water for Li Huailin and Ceci, then sat on a chair opposite them.
"You don't look like you know me," Weeden said as he took a sip of water.
"Yeah." Li Huailin nodded. "What's so strange about that?"
"Since you've never heard of me, why do you want to learn my swordsmanship?" Weeden did not seem angry, and just asked calmly.
"I told you that Uncle White Beard recommended you. Actually, I don't know what swordsmanship you use, but I heard that it's a Hidden Profession, so I came to take a look," Li Huailin said.
"That's a very straightforward answer. So far, everyone who wants to learn my swordsmanship has heard of my achievements. You're the first one." Weeden nodded.
"So what swordsmanship do you use?" Li Huailin asked. He also wanted to know if this Hidden Profession was suitable for him.
"The swordsmanship I use is called the Wind and Thunder Swordsmanship. It's a swordsmanship that's both offensive and defensive," Weeden introduced.
"What? Both offensive and defensive? "Li Huailin asked.
"Oh …" Ceci nodded. "Sir, you're the Wind and Thunder Swordsman, Weeden."
"Oh, you've heard of me?" Weeden asked with a smile.
"I've read about it in the books. I think I'm the hero of the Battle of Petersberg fifteen years ago, but I wasn't born then," Ceci said.
"I know your father," Weeden said. "You've inherited your father's intelligence."
"Oh, sir, you know my father? Are you friends?" Ceci asked.
"No, your father hates me," Weeden said with a smile. "But death is a big deal. Let's not talk about the past. I didn't expect him to die before me."
"Oh." Ceci nodded.
"Stop, stop, stop … Wait, let's reminisce," Li Huailin interrupted. "Let's finish my advancement first."
"Okay," Weeden turned to look at Li Huailin and said, "If you want to learn my swordsmanship, there are two conditions."
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. This meant that there were two quests. This was normal. After all, it was a Hidden Profession. It was possible to run a large chain of quests. Now that there were only two quests, it was not bad. "Speak."
"It's actually quite simple. When I was young, I learned my sword skills here because I found a mysterious place here …" Verden said.
"A mysterious place?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yeah, I still don't know who left that place. It looks like a ruin, and I can only find a small part of its secrets … Just this small part of the secrets is enough to make me miserable …" Verden said. "I found two swords in the ruin …"
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little curious. "What kind?"
"I don't know the names of these two swords. Later on, I called one the Thunder Sword and the other the Wind Sword. That's how I got my title of Wind and Thunder Swordsman," Verden said. "Your quest is to find these two swords and get their recognition."
System Notification: Verden Hillsmart has issued an A-rank advancement quest, Sword of Wind and Thunder. Do you accept?
"Yes." This time, it was Li Huailin's turn to accept it.
Sword of Wind and Thunder: Verden Hillsmart wants you to find the Wind Sword and the Thunder Sword and get their recognition. Quest Reward: None.
"Since they're your swords, why do you still want to find them?" Ceci suddenly asked. "Shouldn't they be kept with you?"
"Let me finish," Verden said. "These two swords, the Wind Sword, can summon the Wind of Defense. It's a Sword of Defense. The Thunder Sword, on the other hand, can summon the power of thunder to attack the enemy. It's a Sword of Offense."
"Oh …" Li Huailin nodded. However, he felt that something was wrong. Two swords … Why did it feel like he had to wield them? He was a Two-Handed Swordsman.
"Now, this Wind Sword is indeed in my hands." After saying that, Verden walked to the side and opened his wardrobe. He took out a wooden box and placed it in front of the two of them.
Ceci, who was very curious, went to open the wooden box. However, just as his hand was about to approach it, Verden quickly pressed it down.
"Lord Castellan, this sword is very dangerous. If someone who hasn't been recognized by it touches it, they will be attacked by it," Verden said with a smile.
"Oh, I see." Ceci nodded and retracted his hand.
"Please take a look." Weeden opened the box, and suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the originally calm room. Li Huailin and Ceci, who were in front of the room, could not help but close their eyes.
Li Huailin used his hand to block the oncoming wind, and then looked at the wooden box. There was a white one-handed sword in the wooden box, about 1.5 meters long. The shape of the sword was still a western one-handed sword, but the blade was thinner than ordinary one-handed swords. In theory, this kind of sword was easier to break, but it seemed that the designer of this sword was confident that it wouldn't break, so he deliberately designed it to be so thin. Other than that, this sword looked more eye-catching, but there were no other characteristics.
"This is the Wind Sword — Santos." Verden touched the Wind Sword slightly, and the surrounding wind immediately stopped. It was as if he could communicate with Verden.
"That's so convenient. We don't even need to look for it. We just need to get its recognition?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"It's not that easy. The first stage has already spawned too many people. So far, no one has reached the second stage," Verden said with a smile.
"What about the Thunder Sword?" Li Huailin asked.
"I've already secluded myself," Verden said slowly. Weeden said slowly, "It's enough as long as I have a sword that can protect me. I've already put the offensive sword back in its original place. If you can pass the first test, I'll tell you the location of the Thunder Sword. You can go there to find it."
"In the ruins?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Verden nodded. "It's not an easy place to reach. Finding it is also a test. Alright, let's not talk about that. You should think about whether you can get the Wind Sword in front of you."
"What should I do?" Li Huailin asked.
"Since it's a weapon, of course it will recognize a powerful swordsman," Verden said. Verden said, "Show me your strength. The Wind Sword will choose whether or not you are a worthy new master."
"It's just a fight. Don't make it sound so complicated," Li Huailin said as he stood up. "Come on."
"Hehe, it's good to be young." Weeden smiled, then picked up the Wind Sword from the wooden box with one hand. A cool breeze blew past Li Huailin's body, and Li Huailin immediately felt as if Weeden had become one with the sword.
"Come out when you're ready. I'll wait for you at the door." As soon as Weeden finished speaking, he immediately rushed out of the door. His speed was simply astonishing.
"It's easier than I thought. I thought I'd have to look all over the map. It's good that it's here." Li Huailin, on the other hand, did not care about how difficult the quest was. Right now, the lack of money was the most important thing. If the other party asked him to go to some city to find the first one, and then go to some other city to find the second one, he would really have to use his pants.
"That old man looks very powerful. Are you okay?" Ceci said.
"I'm still very strong in a one-on-one fight. Wait here," Li Huailin said as he pulled out the Skylark on his back.
"I also want to see how Adventure fights," Ceci said quickly. "Don't worry about me …"
"Okay, okay, okay … You stay away," Li Huailin said. "I'm going."
"Okay." Ceci nodded.
Walking out of the door, Li Huailin saw Verden, who was holding a sword in one hand not far away. The other party's name had turned red. It looked like he was really going to fight. Li Huailin turned around and looked. Ceci was hiding in the house, looking at him excitedly.
"Are you ready?" Verden said immediately when he saw Li Huailin go out.
"Come on, Sir." Li Huailin raised the Skylark in front of him with both hands.
"Oh, a two-handed swordsman. That's a little strange." Verden was slightly stunned. "I think I've seen your sword there before …"
Just as he finished speaking, Verden was shocked. "Wait, the sword in your hand is a Skylark?"
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned. "You know about it?"
"What's your relationship with Moffat?" Verden asked solemnly.
"Oh? Moffat? I have nothing to do with him, "Li Huailin replied." But I know his son, Anthony. "
"This sword is Moffat's family heirloom. How did it end up in your hands?" Verden asked. "Are you Moffat's heir?"
"His son and I are quite friendly," Li Huailin said. "What's wrong?"
"You don't know Inferno Combat Energy?" Verden asked.
"I don't. By the way, I've heard of the Inferno Combat Energy. Didn't you say that only the bloodline of the Murat Family could use it? I'm not a member of the Murat Family. How could I know it? "Li Huailin said.
"How strange. You're not a member of the Murat Family, but you have the family heirloom of the Murat Family …" Verden smiled. "I never thought that someone related to Moffat would inherit my Wind and Thunder Swordsmanship. Fate is really interesting …"
"Are you related to Moffat too?" Li Huailin asked.
"Alright, let's not talk about this now. The real battle is coming up. You have to be careful. I definitely won't go easy on you. Don't think about getting lucky. If you're really that bad, I don't mind killing you," Verden said coldly.
"Oh, I know. Come on," Li Huailin nodded and said indifferently.
