Everything has gains and losses, Christy has already understood this truth very deeply

Now she can finally follow Rhodes again and take a leisurely walk in the Deep Rock City with him. Out of concern for the girl, Rhodes does not recommend her going out alone.^//^ In fact, after so many years of miserable life, the girl is also quite wary of crowded places. She longs to go out and see a wider world, but she is worried about harm. Only by following Rhodes will the girl feel that she is completely safe.

And now, she is doing it.

Rhodes held Christie's little hand and walked on the lively Deep Rock Market. The bright sunshine shone on the lively market. It was the morning, and people were busy starting their day's work and life. They were selling their goods and greeting customers loudly.

The combination of Rod and Christie was not eye-catching in the crowd, because when they went out, they both chose to cover their faces with a cloak to avoid unnecessary trouble. This time, shopping was a result of Rhodes' interest. Of course, it was mainly to buy some things she liked for Christie. The girl's distress was not unaware of Rhodes, but to be honest, he had some clues about how to solve Christie's troubles. If the two met on earth, then Rhodes could also find some ways to pass her time, such as reading Nine Astronomy, etc. But unfortunately, the entertainment and leisure methods in this world are not as many as those on earth. People's biggest entertainment is nightlife - of course, Rhodes did not plan to take Christie to try.

The girl followed Rhodes, holding his hand tightly, and looking around curiously. For Christy, who had never left the town, the huge deep rock city brought her a strong impact and attraction. She looked at the houses built on the stone walls in surprise, the huge mines not far away, the floating ships suspended in the harbor on the mountain, and the hot market. Even the fully armed guards made the girl feel very fresh.

The only regret is that those sisters who treat her very well are unable to accompany the girl to visit the scenery here. Since Rod returned, Christie rarely saw Lijie and others again. They left with a serious expression every day and then returned to their room with a pale face in the evening. They looked exhausted as if they had done some heavy physical labor, and sometimes they didn't even want to eat.

"What the hell are the sisters doing?"

Christy once asked Rhode this question in confusion, but Rhode's answer was stranger than the girl thought.

"They want to be stronger."

Christie didn't understand the meaning of this sentence very much, but she felt that since Rhode said that, then it should be nothing wrong... But what are the sisters doing now?

Thinking of this, Christy couldn't help but turn her head and look in the direction of the stronghold...

"Huh!"

Marlene sighed and sat down against the wall. Her forehead was covered with sweat. Beside her, Lijie was also kneeling there, while Anne lay on the ground in a large shape, without the slightest reserve that a girl should have. Lando and Joey, not far from them, were even more miserable. They fainted on the ground, and they had not yet woken up.

What stood in front of the three of them was the virtual image summoned in Rhode's memory before. The memory summoned in the phantom space can always exist and can move with the holder's intentions. So now Rhode no longer needs to go to the training ground every time. As long as Marin awakens the Mystery Ball through her own strength, she can take other people into the space for training.

"No, no, no."

Marin shook her head, bit her lips and looked at the opposite side. There, the girl in a blue robe was smiling and looking at her, as if she was her old friend. But Marin would never forget that it was the scene where she completely killed herself in less than three seconds.

Thinking of this, Marlin gritted her teeth and felt unwilling to come to her heart.

Fortunately, the girl has always maintained cautious self-discipline, which has made her proud self-esteem not collapse due to failure. If she was like everyone else, she was complacent and extremely proud of the name of a genius, Marlene would have found a place to hang herself because of the great blow.

However, strict self-discipline did not improve Marlin's strength. No matter how much she prepared in advance, she would completely collapse under the opponent's attack, and she would taste the bitter fruit of failure again within five seconds. What made Marlin the most discouraged was that the girl on the opposite side showed a spell understanding ability far beyond her. There was a time when Marlin thought she had found the key to defeat the girl, because she only specialized in the two elements of wind and fire, and she had five elements to protect her body, so the girl's skills should not change much. As long as she could persist until she remembered all her spell casting methods, she could make targeted counterattacks. After all, she could use more elemental spells than the girl and was also more powerful.

Relying on his own efforts, Marin did remember the girl's fighting skills, and in fact, just like Marin imagined, the limitations of elemental magic made the girl's fighting skills lack too many changes.

Unfortunately, she did not taste the fruits of victory.

Because Marin forgot one thing, it doesn't matter how many skills you can have in actual combat. What's important is whether you can release them in the most appropriate time. The girl does not focus on the two elements of Fenghuo, but because of this, she doesn't need to consider and choose, just use them directly. But on the other hand, because Marin has too many elemental attributes, she doesn't know how to combine these attribute magic, and instead falls into a confused state, so the result still has no change. Although Marin's advance efforts caused her to resist the girl's attack in the first second, she was still directly bombarded in the second second, and failed again without any suspense.

Be calm, calm... Think about Mr. Rhode's words...

Bite his lips, Marlene began to recall Rhode's words again. He now gathered them up every night to summarize the skills and experiences about fighting. These things are very useful, especially for mercenaries who lack practical combat.

"You have personally felt their fighting style, and I think you have also discovered the secret of their skills - through a wonderful time difference to ensure that your attacks have no gaps that can be used and blocked, and that they can attack continuously in an instant. Of course, offense and defense are just means of fighting. The core of the battle is only one control and counter-control. If you can control the opponent's actions, then the next battle will be no difficulty for you. On the other hand, if you are controlled by the opponent's actions, you have already experienced the ending personally."

control······

Marlin muttered to herself. She could understand the meaning of this word, and in fact, it was the same. Whether she started off or defending, she felt that the entire battle was not as she wanted. She was like a small boat going upstream, unable to control herself in the storm and storm, and eventually lost control.

Thinking of this, Marin frowned and found that she had fallen into a misunderstanding. Until now, she was still focusing on how to stop and interrupt the other party's spell casting. But on the other hand, these are just means of fighting. She can try to stop the other party from attacking like this, but cannot stop the other party from attacking like that. She did not regain control of the battle, and everything was still in the hands of the other party, so her resistance did not have any effect.

In other words, you should not focus on how to defend and counterattack the opponent, but first find ways to break the opponent's control of the battle and bring control to your own side?

But in this way, don’t you also have to defend and resist the opponent’s attack?

What is the difference between the two?

Unlike Marlene who frowned and thoughtful, Lijie is silently remembering the fighting skills she learned from that girl. She can also use the skills the girl can use, and she is also very clear about the principles. However, Lijie has never thought of applying these skills to attack. Now, she is like a traveler who has discovered a new world, greedily observing those strange things she has never seen before.

Although they are both special training, the five people have different moods about training. Lando and Joey are rookies. They do not have their own style and persistence, so they are eager to learn how to fight from those strong people. Marlene already has enough combat skills. What she needs now is how to perfectly integrate these and how to use them at what level. Anne is more eager to gain the battle itself, and she hopes to improve herself in fighting with stronger enemies. Lijie is thinking and understanding the meaning of the skills itself to ensure that she can use combat methods with the same effect.

Rhodes did not expect them to defeat each other, which was a member of the top 0 of the top players in the game world. Even if these people have certain talents, it would be absolutely impossible to have the strength to fight against each other in such a short time. However, his purpose was not this. He only hoped that Marlin and others could personally experience the fighting skills and terrible aspects of the strongest. These experiences were very helpful for their future growth. Sequential learning is indeed desirable, but when encountering emergencies, it was meaningless, just like Marlin, with her strength, bullying the goblin giant and other things, but if a Hydra lizard was placed in front of her, Marlin would be stunned and didn't know what to do. This is not only because she had never come into contact with similar monsters, but also because she lacked the experience of fighting with someone stronger than herself.

What Rhodes have cultivated them now is this experience. At the midsummer festival, they will encounter many powerful enemies - at least very powerful enemies for them. If they do not develop enough confidence and experience, then even if they practice the skills well, it will be useless to be in a mess in actual combat.

The only thing that made Rhodes a little worried was that they didn't have much time, only two months before the Midsummer Festival, and in a few days, the ban of the Mercenary Association will be lifted, and by that time, they will be re-entered into the mission. Although according to the current situation, Rhodes no longer needs to use mission points to ensure that his mercenary group is upgraded to a guild, he needs some battles to help him assemble his subordinates. The new mercenaries do not have enough understanding of themselves. Only by uniting in the battle can they truly integrate into this mercenary group.

However, in this way, we must choose a task that is a bit dangerous and not so easy to complete. People always fight on their own when they are relaxed. Only danger and the threat of life can unite them. Rhodes does not intend to find ordinary tasks to run into the team, so in his heart, he is currently choosing tasks that are not far away but are not low-risk. Only by letting those mercenaries fully recognize their strength can they believe themselves.

But before Rhode got the answer, his thoughts were interrupted.

Christy pulled the corner of his clothes, which made Rhode retract his thoughts and looked down at the girl.

"What's wrong? Christie?"

“…Rod…what is that?”

The girl asked curiously, stretched out her hand and pointed forward.

The latest update time of PS is not sure because I am trying to see if I can find an early time to update............
