Chapter 511: Legacy

"Courage style." Gordon repeated the word.

Do you only have time to develop half of the style?

The man of few words, Eliade, rarely took the initiative to explain: "When we were fighting Dragon Slayer before, I saw Senior Gordon use a sword move to face the monster attack and use the opportunity to dodge.

The action postures may be different, but the core concept is very similar to a move called "Courage Evasion (Knife Evasion, Y Return)" in the "Courage Style" developed by Mr. Bernard.

So, I was thinking about whether there might be some relationship between Senior Gordon and Mr. Bernard. Of course, it is normal for different people to create similar moves. After all, Senior Gordon is also a high-ranking swordsman."

Gordon smiled and interrupted Eliade, "You don't have to be so careful. I didn't create that trick myself, but it was taught to me by my master, Master Campbell.

Master clearly told me that this was a move created by a great swordsman from Ryukyakuin. At the same time, he also mentioned that there were hunters at Ryukyakuin who were trying to develop a new hunting style.

After listening to your words, I realized that the hunter should be referring to Senior Bernard. "

".So that's it." Iliad murmured.

It is impossible for Gordon to say that he is not disappointed or regretful when he learns that the creator of Courage Style is no longer alive. If Bona was still alive, they would definitely have a very smooth communication, right?

But more than anything, he felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility.

From the perspective of efficiency alone, it is naturally the best choice to gain the essence of the existing hunting style and improve one's own martial arts.

But he always felt that it would be a pity to allow "courage", a hunting style that perfectly suited his character and habits, to end halfway due to the unfortunate death of its creator, and be gradually forgotten as time goes by.

After thinking carefully for a while, Gordon said to Eliade: "To be honest, the main purpose of my trip to Bernard Village is to learn the courage style. It's a pity."

Eliade lowered his eyelids.

"Huh, is it Bernard, the Seven-Star Great Sword Master? It's such a pity."

Gordon exhaled and his expression became serious, "Eliad, Senior Bernard is your guide, you may be familiar with him, this question may be a bit offensive.

Are there any notes left among his belongings? Records about the development process of Courage Style, including essays about his thoughts, or even daily diaries are also acceptable. "

Eliade raised his head suddenly, "Senior Gordon? What do you want?"

"Although I am a bit overestimating my abilities, standing on the shoulders of my predecessors, I may be able to complement the 'courage' of Bernard's predecessors."

In this matter, Eliade showed amazing action.

He tried his best to find Bernard's relics, and he would not let go of any relics with words, even a few simple graffiti.

The easiest part to find is on the bookshelf of the room where Gordon lives now.

Eliade knocked on the door one by one and asked, and obtained some potentially useful letters from Bernard's close friends during his lifetime.

As for the most important part of the relic, which is also the most difficult to obtain, it was buried in Bernard's grave together with the ashes.

Eliade visited Bernard's widow countless times and explained the situation repeatedly. He experienced the initial anger and scolding, then the cold disregard, and finally the reluctant understanding.

In the end, key information including Bernard Hunter's notes, diary, and some manuscripts were obtained.

After obtaining these relics and information, Gordon locked himself in his house and studied them repeatedly.

After the chief researcher of Ryukyakuin learned from Yuna and others what Gordon was currently doing, he did not assign tasks to him for the time being to avoid disturbing him.

More than a week passed like this.

With dark circles under his eyes, Gordon read the notes, letters, diaries and manuscripts left by Bernard word for word for the umpteenth time.

One of the most important notebooks contains detailed records about courageous evasion, as well as the "special sword-holding posture", which is the practice of transferring charged slashes and sweeping slashes under the sword-raising movement that he calls the "courage posture". Way.

Gordon has benefited, but this content is far from enough to support a "hunting style."

This still lacks the most critical "core".

However, what is troubling is that this "core" seemed to have not been developed and summarized until Mr. Bernard died.

What makes Gordon even more troublesome is that, except for this notebook, at least 95% of the other materials are insignificant content.

However, these contents allowed Gordon to learn from the side about what kind of person Mr. Bernard was like during his lifetime.

According to Zhupa, who helped sift through the information together - Is this person probably not your long-lost uncle, Meow?

"Watch it again."

Pork Chop was curled up at the foot of the bed snoring, while Gordon rubbed his dizzy forehead and continued to read several manuscripts in front of him.

On it were excerpts and slightly useful contents that he had copied bit by bit from all the written relics.

[I lost my temper and was knocked out by Honglong. I broke several bones. I had no choice but to go back this time.

There is indeed a limit to courageous gestures. There is no so-called absolute defense and absolute avoidance in the world, so remember it. ]

[This is a posture I have summarized for fighting enemies. I call it the ‘special sheathing stance’. Brother Ali, if you are interested, you can try it. If you find it useful, you can teach it to others. ]

[Is it possible to avoid or cut off the breath with courage evasion? Think about it. Go find a less powerful monster and try it.

Sure enough, I couldn’t. I was blown away by the breath of the peach-haired beast king and vomited. ]

[I saw a new weapon called shield axe in Barubare. This bottle is interesting. Can I put a bottle in the greatsword?

No, no, I can’t think like that, otherwise the cannon-shaped greatsword, shield-equipped greatsword and other evil things will come out. ]

[Bullshit! Who told you that the special sheathing stance is unnecessary? It will be more comfortable to enter the charging posture in this posture! ]

[Not enough, not enough. This thing is far from being enough to be called a style. Maybe we should learn from other styles? ]

[Important discovery! After courage evasion, if you directly enter the charging stance, the charging speed seems to be a little faster! Maybe it's because of the inertia during the sliding process that "warmed up" the muscles? ]

[Why can't the greatsword user accumulate "momentum"? The charging slash is obviously more powerful than the air blade slash! ]

"Ha" Gordon fell on the table and sighed.

This senior Bernard is sometimes a little nervous. After finding that he can't learn anything from other styles, he always wants to learn from other weapons.

He raised his head and reread the one he cared about the most-after the courage to dodge, the charging speed will be a little faster.

He had similar experiences, when fighting the Tyrannosaurus, fighting the Red Pocket Blue Bear Beast, and even fighting the Dragon Slash not long ago.

The improvement was minimal. Maybe it was really like what Senior Bernard said, the sliding and inertia "warmed up" the muscles and joints in advance.

It has almost no practical value!

Gordon scratched his scalp hard. He was not a scholar, but a warrior. It was really difficult for him to stay in the room to sort out information.

Patting his cheeks vigorously, Gordon picked up the greatsword [Wang Hu] on the weapon rack, and walked out the door in a shirt without any armor on.

"Stretch your muscles."

Ps.

The courage stance mentioned in this book is the special sheath of the courage greatsword in mhxx. After dodging the monster's attack, it is courage evasion (sheath evasion, y return).

The term special sheath is too weird in "reality" - sheathing is useless when holding the sword for a long time

In the text, it can be understood that Gordon is used to calling it courage stance, while Bernard calls it special sheath. The same thing, two different names.
