The Sword God of Shili Slope in the Magical World

Inside the magnificent palace of the royal city.

Fei Xue knelt on one knee, dressed in a red cloak and knight's attire, solemnly reporting to her superior:

"Your Majesty, I believe this attack is related to an internal traitor. The election ceremony held in the church was supposed to be a secret event, so the fact that terrorists came to disrupt it means that someone leaked the information beforehand. This matter concerns the safety and security of the entire kingdom."

The high and mighty King of Avalon, with his all-white beard, thought for a moment and asked, "So what leads do you have, and what kind of support do you need from me?"

"I need His Majesty to grant me the right to investigate the royal family."

Fei Xue placed one hand on her chest and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

These words caused an uproar in the room.

The ministers below were abuzz with discussion.

"How can this be! The dignity of the royal family cannot be violated!"

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot agree to this! The Knights' duty is solely to protect the royal family; there is no precedent for them interfering in royal affairs!"

...

After Fei Xue finished her report, the king pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice with his aged hand and slowly said, "Commander Fei Xue, I have always known your loyalty and keen insight. Since you believe there is a mole, I grant you full authority to investigate this matter, and all resources within the royal city can be allocated."

"The King is wise!"

Feixue bowed deeply.

After leaving the hall, Fei Xue had just stepped out of the palace gate when she saw a man with long golden hair slowly walking out from behind a pillar. He possessed the good genes of royalty and had a handsome face with a gentle smile on his face.

His attire was extremely luxurious, with a tight-fitting dark green turtleneck top and a long purple velvet coat, both of which looked like works of art woven by the capital's top tailors, exuding a calm and composed demeanor.

"Is there something you need, Your Highness?"

Fei Xue asked calmly.

The man before them was the kingdom's eldest prince. As the heir entrusted with important responsibilities by the king, he was exceptionally talented from a young age. As the king grew old and was about to take over the reins of the kingdom, his status was second only to the king.

"Captain Fei Xue, please wait."

The eldest prince spoke in a steady voice, taking a few steps closer and lowering his voice, "Although your father has granted you authority and responsibility, the forces within the kingdom are complex and intertwined. The Knights alone may not be able to penetrate deeply. I am in charge of the Crusader Guard in the royal city and part of the intelligence network. If you are willing, I can provide you with covert support... After all, eliminating traitors is also for the sake of the kingdom's stability."

His words were sincere, but his gaze was fixed on Fei Xue, wanting to see her reaction.

Before Fei Xue could respond, another man appeared leisurely from the other side of the garden path. He wore a dark gold cloak with a royal crest on his collar and a dress sword at his waist, exuding a refined and noble air. He spoke with a smile:

"Brother, you are mistaken. What Commander Scarlet Snow needs is flexible room to maneuver, not more constraints. Although I do not directly command the army, I am on good terms with the Merchant Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and my sources of information are all over the city. If the knights are willing to cooperate with me, not only will the clues come faster, but in the future... whether it is the expansion of the Knights' military supplies or their personal future, they can all be further improved."

He specifically emphasized the phrase "personal future".

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became slightly tense.

Fei Xue remained calm, lightly pressing her right hand on the hilt of her sword. She bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highnesses. Please allow me to investigate first. If necessary, I will consult with you again."

With that, he tossed his cloak aside, turned, and left.

The two princes watched her departing figure with different expressions.

The eldest prince frowned slightly, while the second prince put away his smile, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

The two exchanged a glance and both snorted coldly.

They all believed that the other party had ruined their plans.

......

on the way back.

Feixue had been busy all day and saw the sun rising.

From the arrest of terrorists last night to reporting to the palace this morning, she hadn't slept a wink all day. But at this moment, she was still thinking about whether Teacher Sude had gone to the training ground to continue teaching the knight cadets.

"The sword-wielding posture needs to be standardized to ensure each strike is more precise. At the same time, choosing a suitable sword is also very important, allowing you to fully utilize your strength and speed..."

Teacher Su De's voice came from the training ground, which made her feel much more at ease.

The position of regimental commander seems to be one of high rank and power, envied by many, but only she knows the details.

The royal family's internal affairs are in complete disarray, and dealing with them is extremely complicated, far more so than simply killing monsters.

If she could, she would rather go to the front lines of the war to fight the Demon King's army.

However, there's a saying my teacher once said: "With great power comes great responsibility."

Perhaps this is her responsibility.

"Master Sude, I apologize for my previous behavior. Your swordsmanship is the most superb I have ever seen. Please forgive my arrogance and ignorance. From now on, please let me learn true swordsmanship from you."

Richard, the vice-commander of the Knights of the Sun, bowed very earnestly.

After two days of learning from Teacher Su De, he noticed a significant improvement in his swordsmanship.

It's not that his swordsmanship has improved, but rather that his composure and the application of techniques have shown significant progress.

This surprised him with the wealth of experience this uncle from the countryside possessed.

Having received an elite education, he had been praised and personally trained by many sword masters, but none of them possessed the foresight and ruthless correction of Master Su De.

There are many masters of swordsmanship, but most of them emphasize the level of swordsmanship, the strength of sword skills, and the strength of the lineage. A strong swordsman is naturally a strong swordsman.

He was different; Master Su De was the only one who could comprehend the way of the sword from extremely simple principles.

Seeing his expression, Su De couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

After two days of training, this so-called genius has been completely won over.

However, he still preferred his previous unruly demeanor.

"It's alright. The future of Avalon depends on you young people. The future of young people is full of infinite possibilities!" Sude helped him up and comforted him.

Su De taught for a while longer, then let his men train freely.

He can finally rest.

Only then did he notice that Fei Xue was already standing beside him, as if she had been there for a long time.

"Is the report over?" Su De asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's over." Fei Xue nodded gently.

Let's take a walk together.

The two walked side by side, passing a maple forest next to the training field.

Fei Xue tucked a strand of her silver hair behind her ear, secretly glanced at the person beside her, and then said, "Teacher, the way you teach is still so special. It reminds me of when I was a child and you taught me swordsmanship by hand."

Her ears turned slightly red when she said this.

Sude also sighed with emotion: "Yes, it's been a long time since I've taught someone like this. I really miss it."

He noticed the dark circles under Fei Xue's white eyelashes and said softly, "Rest more often, don't push yourself so hard. Your health is the most important thing."

"There's no way around it. With great power comes great responsibility. Isn't that what you said, teacher?"

As Fei Xue walked, she kept fidgeting with her two slender fingers in front of her, seemingly enjoying the moment.

Su De recalled his past self, who always liked to say pretentious things and preach grand principles.

He seemed to be deliberately profound, trying to establish a lofty image in front of his apprentices.

Young people like to show off, that's normal.

But to my surprise, all of these apprentices listened to what I said.

He sighed and said, "People always say to be strict with yourself and lenient with others. But I hope you can do the opposite and love yourself more."

Feixue nodded earnestly, her face unchanged, but her heart was filled with sweet joy.

The teacher still cares about me as always.

"I understand the reasoning, I will get some rest."

After thinking for a moment, Sude decided to teach her the calming mantra: "I'll teach you a mantra. After you recite it, you won't feel so tired, and it'll be good for your mind."

Feixue has a good memory and memorized it quickly.

After reading it, I felt much more refreshed and less haggard.

She was amazed and felt it was very magical.

"Teacher, what kind of magic spell is this?"

Sude replied with a smile, "This is a calming mantra, which helps to restore one's spirit."

"Isn't the teacher someone who doesn't know magic? How did you learn this spell?"

Fei Xue's eyes darted around, her curiosity growing even stronger.

Such advanced magic, if it could be popularized among magicians, could generate extremely high fees and even change the course of a war.

She was thinking very, very far ahead...

"Well, it's something I've come up with recently, and it's still in the experimental stage," Su De said after thinking for a moment, giving a reason.

Feixue didn't ask any further questions.

Knowing her teacher as she did, she knew the teacher was just making excuses for her again.

The teacher had many secrets, but she didn't delve into them. As long as the teacher was a teacher, why bother with so much?

"I still have a C-level commission to complete this afternoon. I'll try my best to finish it and pay off my debt as soon as possible."

Su and De proposed to part ways.

Feixue nodded regretfully: "Would you like me to go with you?"

"No need, you should rest for half a day. A C-level mission, how could I, your teacher, not handle it?"

Sude is now full of confidence.

After saying goodbye to Fei Xue.

A notification flashed before his eyes.

[You have successfully trained your disciple; the principles are clear and the mind is enlightened; the path to immortality is long and the great Dao is revealed; and he is completely devoted to you.]

[Development progress +5%]

[Recently, the progression has been significantly increased. Rewards: Tracking and Finding Talisman x3, Thunder Blast Talisman x3, Low-grade Spirit Stone x100]

"Thunder Explosion Talisman? That's a good thing. It can be used to deal with monsters. I just wonder how its power compares to the magic in this world."

He also had a concealment talisman and the recipe for the Fireball spell.

Unfortunately, there was no spiritual energy available, so I could only try using the faint spiritual energy contained within the spirit stone.

But for some reason, Su De always felt that the art style of this master-disciple training system was very strange.

......

I overslept this afternoon, but an update will be provided shortly.
