Chapter 1069 The Name of the Sky Knight
Neverwinter, flight training ground.
"Quick, quick! Walk faster and keep your balance!"
"Your legs are weaker than a baby's!"
"Direction, watch your direction!"
"Hey, where are you going? I should really put braziers on both sides of the aisle."
"Spit to the side and don't spit on the board, otherwise you will lick it clean!"
"Next, Goode!"
"Yes!" Good suddenly trembled. He took a deep breath and walked to a swivel chair to sit down.
The cold face of the instructor Ying Mian also came into his eyes.
Even if he just looked at each other, Goode would feel shuddering - I heard that the other party was originally the commander of the Northland garrison. After the rotation, he returned to Neverwinter City, non-stop participated in the internal review of the army, and became a member of the Sky Knight Reserve. a member of. This meant that he had not only experienced the church war, but also gave up his originally deserved vacation and devoted himself to brand-new training.
In other words, the other party is the kind of character who is cruel to others and also cruel to himself.
Being targeted by such a person made him feel extremely stressed.
As soon as he sat down, two teammates from the same team, Finkin and Heinz, surrounded him.
On their faces, Goode saw the look of self-seeking.
Then the chair was turned quickly——
This is the most troublesome training since he joined the reserve team: in front of the swivel chair is a five-meter-long, palm-width wooden board, called a sky bridge. And they had to be turned around for half a minute before walking across the board.
Things that anyone can usually do easily become completely different after spinning. The body seems to have lost its center of gravity, and the world is shaking. Let alone walking on the overpass, even maintaining a standing posture is not an easy task. Usually, the training sessions are divided into groups of ten, and those with the worst performance will be punished with punishments such as "cleaning toilets", "cutting out weeds", or being forced to train for a whole day during the weekend break.
Goode tried it once.
As a result, while everyone else was happily eating dinner, he vomited all over the dormitory.
Such a bad experience, he didn't want to do it again.
"stop!"
Following an order, the rotating chair was suddenly stopped by his companion. Good resisted the dizziness that rushed to his brain and jumped down from the chair.
"Quick! Don't stand still, start walking!"
He gritted his teeth, raised his eyes, staggered onto the wooden plank, and walked towards the other end - after more than ten days of practice, he discovered a little trick, that is, staring at your feet makes it easier to lose stability. It is better to look straight ahead and use body memory to control the pace.
When there was a solid touch from the soles of his feet, Goode realized that he had completed this section of the overpass.
"Okay, so awesome..."
"Not even a step was missed!"
"Is this the first time?"
There was a buzz of discussion behind him.
He turned around and looked at Ying Mian, who also raised the corner of his mouth in a rare move, "Yes, it seems you are not hopeless."
"But!" the instructor paused, and then his tone changed, "Only one person has actually passed today, and this result is the worst among all the classes! Her Highness Tilly said that Sky Knights are only one in ten thousand, if you don't want to be Everyone brushes it off, always does some groceries on the ground, cheers me up, and practices twice as much - rest for five minutes, and then do another set!"
Everyone immediately let out a wailing sound.
"Hey, how did you do that?" Finkin approached Goode and winked.
"Remember the width of your steps, pretend you are not dizzy, and just walk as usual."
"Is this even conceivable?" Heinz also followed, "Wouldn't that mean you're lying to yourself?"
These two people were both candidates who passed the examination in the same batch as Goode, so they became familiar with each other within a few days. In addition, the air cavalry grouped them together according to the three-person team division method, and now they have become almost inseparable "comrades-in-arms" ".
"You don't care whether it's a lie or not, as long as it can pass." Goode knocked his head. "Generally speaking, the smarter the person, the harder it is for him to deceive himself. It should be easy for you to do it."
"Come on," Finkin said unconvinced, "I just succeeded once. Look how proud you are."
"Let's make a bet. In one group later, I can succeed three... no, five times!"
"Then I'll cover all your laundry this week!"
"Does underwear count?"
"Well……"
"Stop arguing," Heinz interjected, "What I want to know is, can you really become a Sky Knight by practicing these things on the ground?"
The two of them were dumbfounded for a moment. This question was a common confusion among all the preparatory students. Walking on overpasses, crossing rollers, and judging the direction of the wind...it's more like a juggling act than cultivating warriors. Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal teachings were nowhere to be seen. Instead, the methods were taught to the backbone of the First Army, and then they led the class.
In addition, the training is quite strenuous, from morning to night, and after dark, intensive teaching is required to learn reading and writing. If Her Highness Tilly had not personally promised it, most people would doubt the authenticity of the announcement.
But the instructor's attitude was so severe that no one dared to bring it up face to face.
"Who knows," Finkin shrugged after a while, "At least the food here is good. Not only can we eat meat every day, but we also have extra meals on weekends."
"I really think... His Highness can't lie to us." Gude mused, "Didn't we get a bag of books that day? My sister told me that there was a book called Principles of Flight... written by Her Royal Highness. . When we fully master reading and writing, we may be able to understand the meaning of these exercises."
"You are quite optimistic," Finkin grinned.
"If I didn't think for the best in everything, I would have died on the road to exile."
"Okay, it's time to rest!" At this moment, Ying Mian's voice instantly overwhelmed everyone's whispers, "Come over and line up, and practice again in the same order!"
"Yes..." everyone said feebly.
But something unexpected happened.
The door to the training room was suddenly pushed open, and a man in military uniform walked in and whispered a few words into Ying Mian's ear.
Ying Mian nodded, gave him a military salute, and then turned to look at everyone.
"Congratulations, the subsequent practice is cancelled, you can continue to rest."
Finkin and Heinz breathed a sigh of relief, but only Good held his breath - he clearly saw a smile of unknown meaning on the other person's face. There is sarcasm, teasing, and... gloating?
"But not here." Sure enough, Eagle Face continued, "Don't think that I don't know what you are complaining about privately. Unfortunately, with your poor heads, you can't understand it even if you explain it. But you are lucky. Now - now there is an opportunity for you to see with your own eyes the meaning of the word Sky Knight."
The... true meaning of Sky Knight?
Good suddenly felt his heart beating a little faster.
"Follow me," the hawk's face slowly glanced at everyone, "just remember not to pee your pants in fear later."
