Chapter 3: The Knights' Invitation

By the time Arashi opened the door to the reception room, he was already followed by a string of small tails, Rozval, who was accompanied by the host, the twin maids, and Emilia who followed at the back of the line because she was worried, and Nanatsuki, who was extremely curious about how things were going on. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Rheinharut, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, sat meticulously on the goose-down sofa, and when the door opened, he stood up with the knights accompanying him, and greeted everyone who appeared one by one: "Excuse me, Count Rozval, Arashi." ”

"How-yes, the presence of the current Juggernaut really makes the humble house shine!"

Arashi nodded at the other and walked to the sofa directly opposite Rheinharut and sat down.

It wasn't until everyone walked in that Rheinharut saw Emilia who was at the end, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Emilia." ”

Emilia waved her hand embarrassedly and replied, "You're welcome, Rheinharut, I haven't thanked you for your help last time." ”

"Mistress Emilia doesn't need to mind. Rheinharut smiled and put himself back in place.

At this point, everyone was seated in their seats, arranged on three sides of the sofa, and facing each other sat Rheinharut and his companions, Rozval and Arashi. Emilia and Natsuki, who were accompanied, sat on the innermost short sofa.

Looking at the scene of the two people looking at each other in front of him, Caiyue Pleiades felt so cold on her forehead, and said, "It always feels so formal." ”

Rhein Harut glanced at Caiyue with a smile and said, "Pleiades, I am relieved to see that your body is recovering well." ”

"Eh, does the contemporary Juggernaut even know a guest from my house?"

In the face of Rozval's inquiry, Rheinharut replied meticulously: "Yes, Lord Rozval, I had a meeting in the royal capital yesterday. ”

"Don't be polite, just call me Rozval. Aside from the false name of the Earl of the Frontier, we can be regarded as equal in the Knights and Mages. ”

"Lord Rozval has overdone it. ”

"So, Reinharut, is there something important about your coming to my mansion this time?

While Rozval was talking, Rem had already walked over with a tea tray, and Ram carefully knelt on the stall and placed the brewed black tea one by one. Cai Yue was very embarrassed to find that even Red Lotus had a cup of black tea in front of it, but he was the only one who didn't.

Hey, don't ignore me just because I chose to be a domestic servant.

"I'm here to represent the Knights of the Guard. At this point, Rheinharut paused, placed the badge in his palm on the coffee table, and the entourage on the side took out the sealed documents and placed them next to the badge.

Everyone's eyes looked at the badge on the table, which was completely different from the badge in Amilia's hand, and on the shield that burned like flames, a dragon-shaped golden sword was inserted from the center, which was an item that would not make people feel ordinary no matter how you looked at it.

"I formally invite Mr. Lan to join, and I hope that Mr. Lan will not refuse no matter what. This is a letter of appointment signed by the head of Marcus, and this is the coat of arms of the Order. In a rigorous and enthusiastic tone, Rheinharut looked sincerely at Arashi across from him.

"It's ...... Knight's ...... badge?"

Compared to the ignorant Arashi and Pleiades, Rozval and Emilia recognized the origin of the badge and looked at Rheinharut with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Yes. Rheinharut smiled slightly, and lifted his cloak with his hand, revealing his white shirt, and the knights in his companionship also made the same movements, such as the neat pace of the rehearsal, showing their extremely high tacit understanding. On their left chest, apart from the different colors of their swords, they each wore a dragon-shaped shield sword badge of the same standard.

And the one on Rheinharut's body is officially exactly the same gold as the badge on the table.

"Captain Marcus accepts his fate, Knight Captain Julius, 'Best Knight', agree!'Blue Knight' Knight Captain Felix, abstain!" Rheinharut got up at this time and stretched out his hand towards Arashi, "'Sword Saint' Knight Captain Rheinharut, agree! At this point, Mr. Lan is appointed as the Knight Chief of the Royal Guards. ”

"Brush"

Suddenly, but very neatly, the sound of the unified drawing of their swords, the knights, who had always been in unison with Rheinharut, stood up, stood on their feet, and held their swords in front of them, making the first sound of their steps into the mansion.

"Walk with you, knight's glory. ”

The largest and strongest armed organization in this kingdom resolutely showed a powerful aura that belonged to them in places that did not belong to them.

Everyone was silent, and Caiyue even felt her body tremble with blood because of the knights' propaganda.

"I ......," Arashi scratched the left side of her cheek and said, "I think I've said it, and the next time we meet, we'll have a discussion." ”

"Yes. Rheinharut smiled proudly: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Because of this special agreement, the place of the meeting suddenly changed to a wide courtyard, and the spectators standing on the steps from a distance carefully watched Rheinharut and Arashi standing opposite each other in the distance.

"Hey, Ronnie, do you think there's going to win?" asked a light-blue-haired, twenty-something-looking Knights, to his companion.

"This is still a guess, it must be the Knight Captain Rheinharut, he is a sword saint. The knight who took out the paperwork in front of him scratched his green hair and looked at his companion in disbelief, "I don't think anyone in this land can beat him." ”

"Naive. "Except for the loyal dog, it is naturally impossible for Lan to stand up for Lan at this time, "Lan is a swordsman who is known as 'unparalleled in the world', you little beans, just take a good look." ”

This dog has a big breath, and he is not afraid of biting his tongue from his mouth. The knight named Ronnie stuck out his tongue in disdain.

"Ronnie, your actions are against knightly etiquette. ”

"I'm sorry, Captain Hacent. ”

Putting aside everyone's discussions, Rheinharut said to Arashi: "After all, this is the residence of Count Rozval, Arashi, how about we not use protection and large-scale sword skills?"

Although he couldn't understand the words he heard for the first time, Arashi nodded approvingly, "Is it a contest of pure sword skills?" ”

The two drew their swords to each other, looked at each other, and reported their names one after another.

"'Juggernaut 'Swordmaster' Rheinharut, please advise. ”

"'White Oni' Arashi. ”

As soon as the words fell, the two of them took the first step that meant that the duel began.

"Bang. ”

The weapons that collided with each other poured out an astonishing wave of air.

The figures crossed over, and before everyone could see the outcome of the first battle, the two turned over and rushed towards their opponents again.

Rheinharut's sword opened and closed widely, relying on the strength of his superior wrist, and each swing was like a hurricane passing through it, coming with an unstoppable momentum.

Compared with Rheinharut's fierceness, Arashi, who has killed two generations of 'Sword Masters' (prequels of the novel) in succession, knows how to borrow strong swordsmanship.

Like the intangibility of water, relying on a body that far exceeds common sense, Arashi can always find the gaps in Rheinharut's sword moves, armpits, chest, waist, and wrists, all of which are weaknesses, but there is nowhere to be gained.

Rheinharut, who inherited the name of the Sword Master from the hands of his ancestors, is not a man of false fame, his sword can always arrive at the most dangerous moment just to protect himself, although the scene is a little ugly, but it is as stable as a green mountain and rock.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang Bang"

The sound of clean weapons came like a wave, and the knights' retinue, who were full of confidence before, really saw Lan's strength at this moment.

This exquisite swordsmanship that can suppress the Juggernaut alone is enough to deserve the position of a knight chief.

"It's too strong, it's too strong, how kind of strong person did Captain Marcos find there?"

"You ask me, who do I ask!"

Rheinharut, who knew that he would lose for a long time, was struggling to catch Lan's flaws, but the pressure from the opponent also made the blood of this young man known as the 'Sword Saint' begin to burn, and for a long time, since he wore the title of 'Sword Saint', how long has it been since he was forced to this extent.

Should I blame myself for giving up the use of Aurotec? No, on the contrary, with such an opponent, what more can I ask of this world.

The atmosphere of fighting intensified.

However, after dozens of rounds of fighting, it was not the two of them who couldn't bear it first.

"Bang dang. ”

The sound of a weapon breaking.

Arashi's long knife came to rest at the neck of Rheinharut, barely a fraction of his skin, but blood was still flowing from there.

Is it a fierce sword wind?!! Rheinharut guessed the answer.

"Your weapon, no. Lan, who silently took back the karma, looked at the long sword at Rheinharut's waist in confusion and asked, "Why don't you use that one?" ”

"In fact, the sword will only be unsheathed when it is needed. Rheinharut had to smile wryly.

Lan frowned slightly, revealing an incomprehensible look, and said, "A sword that can't be used for the master is also worthy of being called a sword? ”

Rheinharut had to smile bitterly again, because as soon as Arashi said this, the family heirloom sword automatically popped out of its sheath as if he was not convinced.

"Yo, the temper is quite big. Arashi wiped his left thumb across his lower lip and pointed with his sword, "Go ahead." ”

"The last blow, how? Slowly unsheathing the sword, Rheinharut looked solemnly at his opponent.

"Whatever you want. ”

With the other party's consent, Rheinharut raised the dragon sword above his head, and an invisible light began to gather on the sword.

Unmoved, Arashi stretched out the middle finger of his left index finger and stroked the narrow arc of the object.

"The momentum of this sword is getting more and more intense. ”

A gentle breeze blows across the earth.

"Dragon Slaying Sword. Rheinharut swung his dragon sword violently, and a golden light slashed towards Lan in a line, which was really fast, as if he had just swung it and slashed in front of him.

However, Arashi is faster.

"Resist the current? "With a 'Z' step, Arashi flashed through everyone's sight like an aurora in the dark, and from the brief moment between his disappearance and reappearance, Arashi's figure had already appeared behind Rheinharut.

What was the result, who won? Who lost?

Even though they know that there is actually no winner or loser in this competition, everyone still inevitably looks at the people they are concerned about.

"It's me who lost. Rheinharut turned around with a wry smile, and there was an extra wound on his chest from left to right, and the blood gradually oozed out, and it looked like he could be cut off with a little more force.

Impossible, how could the Sword Saint Rhein Harut lose?Ronnie looked at the knight chief he admired in disbelief.

But Lan on the other side was not much better, a bleeding wound from the left shoulder to the bottom, which looked very terrifying. But he didn't care about it, and didn't even look at it.

Carrying the karma on his shoulder, Lan smiled faintly: "It's just half a catty and eight taels." ”

"No, I lost. Rheinharut sincerely apologized: "When I used the slash, I pulled out a blessing on my body: as long as I swung out the sword, I will definitely be able to kill the opponent." Because there is too much protection on the body, it is still too difficult to ban them all. I'm sorry, Arashi. ”

"No wonder I always feel like no matter how much I run, I can't dodge that sword move. ”

"You two, give me enough to stop. Emilia, who was the first to react, ran up at some point, walked to Arashi's side, looked at the oozing wound, and said, "Big fool." With that, Emilia raised her hand, and the soft blue light began to slowly stop the bleeding wound.

The members of the Knights, who had witnessed the completion of the journey, glanced at each other, then took a step forward, drew their swords and shouted: "Walk with you, knight's glory." ”

The speech is the same as in the reception room, but it has more sincerity than before, which is a recognition of the strong.

Poor Ronnie, because the sword was borrowed by Rheinharut, can only hang his hands awkwardly at his waist at the moment, but this does not prevent him from looking at Arashi with the same reverence.

Only such a man is worthy of being followed by knights and worthy of being our knights!
