Chapter 511: Legacy of Predecessors
“Courage style.” Gordon repeated the word.
Have you only had time to develop half of the style?
The man of few words, Iliad, 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 Avoidance (Knife Avoidance, Y Return in the "Courage Style" developed by Mr. Bernard.
So, I was thinking about whether there might be any 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 told me clearly that this was a move created by a great swordsman from Ryūliyuan. At the same time, he also mentioned that there were hunters at Ryūliyuan 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. "
“That’s it.” Iliad murmured.
It is impossible for Gordon to say that he is not disappointed and regretful when he learns that the creator of Courage Style is no longer alive. If Bona was still alive, they would have had a very smooth communication, right?
But more than that, 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."
Eliad lowered his eyelids.
“Huh, seven-star swordsman Bernard, it’s such a pity.”
Gordon took a breath and his expression became serious, "Eliad, Senior Bernard is your guide, you may be familiar with him, this question may be a bit offensive.
May I ask if there are any notes left among his belongings? Records about the development process of the Courage Style, including essays about his thoughts, or even daily diaries are also acceptable. "
Eliad raised his head suddenly, "Senior Gordon? What do you want?"
“Although I am somewhat 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 writing, even a few simple graffiti.
The easiest part to find is left on the bookshelf of the room where Gordon lives now.
Eliad 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.
Eliad 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.
Finally obtained key materials including Bernard Hunter's notes, diary, and some manuscripts.
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 what he calls the "courage posture" of the sword-raising movement, and the practice of switching between charged slashes and sweeping slashes. Way.
Gordon has benefited, but this content is far from enough to support a "hunting style".
However, what is troubling is that this "core" seemed to have not been developed and summarized until Mr. Bernard's death.
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 understand from the side what kind of character Mr. Bernard was like during his lifetime.
According to Zhupa, who helped sift through the information, this person is probably not your long-lost uncle, Meow?
“Look at it again.”
Pork Chop was curled up at the foot of the bed and snoring, while Gordon rubbed his dizzy forehead and continued reading several manuscripts in front of him.
The above is what he excerpted bit by bit from all the written relics, and the slightly useful content was copied.
[I lost my temper and was knocked out by Honglong. Several bones were broken. 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. Remember this. ]
[This is a posture against the enemy that I have summarized. I call it the ‘special sword-holding posture’. Brother Alex, if you are interested, you can try it. It’s okay to teach it to others if you find it useful. ]
Is it possible to avoid or cut the breath with Courage Avoidance? Thinking. Try finding a less powerful monster.
As expected, he couldn't. The peach-haired beast king's breath flew out and he vomited. ]
I saw a new weapon called the Shield Axe in Balubare. This bottle is a bit interesting. Can I put a bottle into the big sword?
No, no, you can’t think like that, otherwise evil things like cannon-shaped swords and shield-equipped swords will come out.]
[fart! Who told you that the special gesture of holding a knife is unnecessary? It will be more comfortable to charge up in this position! ]
[Not enough, not enough. This thing is far from enough to be called a style. Maybe we should learn from other styles? ]
[Important discovery! After courageously evading, if you directly enter the charging posture, the charging speed seems to be a little faster! Maybe it's because the inertia during the sliding process "warms up" the muscles? ]
[Why can’t a great swordsman build up ‘momentum’? Charging the sword is obviously more powerful than cutting with an air blade! ]

“Ha” Gordon lay down 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.
Raised his head and re-read the article that concerned him most - after you have the courage to dodge, the speed of accumulating energy will be a little faster.
He has had similar experiences before, when fighting against the Tyrannosaurus Rex, when fighting against the Red-Pocketed Green Bear, and even when fighting against the Dragon Slayer not long ago.
That kind of improvement is very slight. It may be like what Bernard said, sliding and inertia "warm 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 and sort out the information.
Patting his cheek hard, Gordon picked up the big sword [Wang Hu] on the weapon rack. He didn't bother to put on the armor and walked out of the door in a shirt.
“Stretch your muscles.”
ˆPs.
The courage gesture mentioned in this book is the special sword draw of the sword of courage in mhxx. After being attacked by a monster and dodged, it is the courage evasion (sword draw dodge, y return).
The idea of a special Na Dao is too weird in "reality" - holding a sword and raising it for half a day counts as a "P Na Dao"
The article can be understood to mean that Gordon is accustomed to calling it a courageous gesture, while Bernard calls it a special knife attack. The same thing, two names.
