Chapter 9: Sparring and Failure

The next morning,

"Aha——" Lily sat up from the bed and stretched out.

"Huh?" Lily suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly shook her right hand.

"Are you ready?" It's not like Lily has never had a fracture before. Although she recovers very quickly and usually recovers in three days, this is the first time she can recover in one night after eating. To be cautious, Lily gently opened the fracture. Open the bandage, loosen the splint, and check the bones bit by bit with your hands. After all, Lily's adoptive father is a surgeon. Although this doctor is better at dissection than treatment, Lily still learned these basic bone touching skills. .

After a little confirmation, Lily confirmed that the fracture in her right arm had indeed recovered. She did not feel any discomfort whether she was making a fist or swinging, and there was no loss of strength. After confirming that there was no problem with her right arm, Lily quickly checked her left leg. After the same process, Lily was 100% sure that she had fully recovered.

Lily was very grateful for the hermit's treatment. After packing up the bandages she took off, Lily was going to go out to thank the hermit again and make breakfast by the way. Although it was not a reward, it was at least an expression of agreement.

"Zhiqua——"

"Ding Ling Juang Lang" As the door opened, the sound of a glass bottle falling to the ground immediately sounded.

What caught Lily's eyes were wine bottles all over the floor and Hermit and Zhizhi lying soundly sleeping, sprawled out among the wine bottles.

"You, you, how much did you drink last night!!!?" Lily's roar cut through the morning.

. . . . . . . . . . . The dividing line that wakes the two up. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I accidentally drank too much yesterday, hahahahahahaha." The hermit touched the back of his head and laughed, and the treasure thief mouse Zhizhi also scratched his head.

"Really, aren't you a doctor? Why do you drink so much wine?" Lily tied the big bag containing the wine bottles. When eating last night, the hermit took out two bottles of wine from nowhere and said Today is a happy day. You must have a drink, but only the hermit and Zhizhi are drinking. Lily, who is injured, is only allowed to drink water, so after eating, Lily is asked to go back to the house to rest. The hermit and Zhizhi drank all night in the living room.

"I told you, yesterday was a happy day. Of course I want to drink a little." The hermit took the big bag from Lily's hand and threw it away. The whole bag of wine bottles flew out along the window and landed accurately outside. In a shell-shaped trash can.

"Are you happy? To be honest, I should be happy. You saved my life, treated me, and allowed me to stay here temporarily. I am really grateful." Lily thanked the hermit respectfully.

"Well, of course I have my own selfish motives, but before talking about my affairs, I would like to ask you what your next plans are?" The hermit waved his hand casually, but then his style changed and he became serious. asked.

"As for me, I haven't thought about it. Maybe I should go to sea to find my idiot brother. I don't know if he survived." Lily rubbed her sharp corners and thought.

"Is that so? Then let me ask you another question, what do you think of your strength?"

Lily almost blurted out, which was good, but suddenly thought of the one-on-two rear admiral, the movement of the hermit that she couldn't react to, and most helplessly, Zhizhi, who couldn't catch it.

"I don't know." Lily lowered her head helplessly.

"Hahaha, don't belittle yourself. Judging from your physical fitness, your strength is pretty good, at least in the first half of the Grand Route and in the Four Seas. But, the world is not so superficial. You said before, you want to You want to be free from the control of the world government and build a free world, right?" The hermit gently patted Lily's shoulder to comfort her.

"Yes, this is my dream. I hate those nobles who are so superior that they never consider the people below." Lily nodded.

"That's right, take your knife and come outside with me." After the hermit said that, he turned around and left the house, and Zhizhi followed him out.

Looking at the hermit, Lily felt a little puzzled. Could it be that he was going to teach her some tricks? But why? Is there anything special about yourself? But Lily couldn't help but think too much. The hermit's urging voice came from outside the door. Lily hurried back to the house and took out her sword and came to the door.

"In order to let you see the difference, and also allow me to get a feel for it, come and practice some sparring." The hermit took off his hat and black cloak, revealing a strange suit of clothes underneath that was somewhat similar to a suit.

"Crack." Lily quickly stepped back, grabbing the handle of the knife with her right hand, her left foot in front, her right foot behind, making a lunge, lowering her body, and staring at the hermit.

"Oh, your reflexes are indeed good, but you made a mistake." The hermit raised a finger and shook it, "Your opponent is not me."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "Zhi Zhi!" A white stuffed dumpling rushed up at a very fast speed. Lily quickly took out her knife. She knew it was Zhi Zhi. She had already experienced the speed of this little guy yesterday. , so Lily didn't hold back and slashed at it with one knife.

I thought that even if the attack was successful, Zhizhi would be able to drive away Zhizhi. Who knew that Zhizhi was not afraid, and just hit the knife blankly. At this time, it was too late for Lily to withdraw her strength, and that was it. A knife hit Zhizhi's body, but the bloody scene he imagined did not appear.

"Dang!!!" With a metallic collision sound, Zhizhi's whole body turned purple and black. At the same time, a huge force attacked Lily. Fortunately, as a ghost, Lily's strength was not weak. She pressed her left hand on the back of the knife and resisted Zhizhi's attack. Zhizhi was in mid-air after all. As long as Lily resisted the initial force, Zhizhi fell to the ground quickly because there was no place to borrow force, but Zhizhi's attack did not stop.

Although Zhizhi's strength was very good, she was a mouse. Strength was never her strong point, but speed was. The moment she landed, Zhizhi turned into a white lightning again, rushing towards Lily from left to right. Zhizhi's speed was too fast. For a while, Lily could only defend passively.

Perhaps the hermit had made a warning in advance. Zhizhi's attack was almost all directed at the knife in Lily's hand. If it was directed at Lily herself, Lily might have been bitten out of several blood holes by her.

Perhaps it was also because of this discovery that Lily slowly calmed down and began to observe Zhizhi's movements, hoping to find out the law of Zhizhi's movement. Just now, she discovered that Zhizhi's invulnerable purple-black form can only be used when attacking, and Zhizhi cannot change color while running. This may be her breakthrough point.

As Zhizhi continued to attack, Lily also began to observe continuously. Finally, Zhizhi turned his body habitually, and Lily suddenly took a step forward, "Blade·One Qi!" Lily instantly drew a cross cut and attacked Zhizhi. Just when Lily thought that she had finally succeeded, Zhizhi suddenly braked, and the whole mouse stopped forcibly in an extremely unscientific posture, completely ignoring inertia.

Then, Zhizhi jumped with both feet, passed over the cross sword energy, and his whole body turned purple-black again. In a strange posture, he kicked Lily with his right hind foot.

"Squeaky, squeaky!!!"

"Bang!" Squeaky's little claws collided with Lily's blade, and this time the force was far greater than any previous time. Lily's hands went numb, and the long sword flew out in a spin.

Rose Lily VS the treasure-stealing mouse Squeaky, Squeaky wins!
