As the only girl in the fourth generation of the Roman family, one of the oldest families in Europe, Esther has shown excellent swordsmanship talent since she was a child.

Similarly, as one of the oldest fighting techniques, swordsmanship has been popular in Europe for hundreds of years. At that time, in the era of swordsmanship, especially among the youth, whether it was the common people, soldiers, and nobles, they all took pride in mastering the pure swordsmanship. A young handsome swordsman is often the favored object of many young girls and wealthy ladies, and will call their names in their sleep, because this is their dream lover.

Later, with the advent of hot weapons such as flintlock muskets. The sword, a weapon that embodied the development of European civilization in a certain way, gradually withdrew from the stage of history. But to this day, in high society, there are still many people in aristocratic circles who follow ancient traditions who are obsessed with this martial arts technique. But most of them have been exhausted, and they have become performance projects at parties, losing the powerful lethality they once had.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Roman family is known as the Lionheart family. And the first Lionheart, when he was a soldier. With his superb swordsmanship and pure skills, he founded a huge family that has stood on the European continent for hundreds of years, and he himself is also revered as the Lionheart King.

Esle is said to have inherited the lineage of her ancestor, King Lionheart. There is an innate unfamiliar power in the blood. Once this power explodes, it is really like a lion, destroying the power of a qiē. However, with this power comes great side effects on the human body. Both the blood vessels and the heart struggle to withstand the damage caused by an instantaneous impact.

It is well known that the blood circulation in the human body leads to the heart and the arterial veins are converted. When you exert force, the speed of blood flow increases. The more force you exert is used, the faster the blood will flow. The heavier the load on the heart. At this time, the person's face will become red due to the congestion of the capillaries of the subcutaneous tissue.

And the power contained in the blood of King Lionheart is that the speed of human blood flow is more than ten times faster than that of ordinary people, so that the power used is correspondingly more than ten times that of ordinary people. The strength is high, and when fighting the enemy, the damage will be increased accordingly.

God is fair to His own believers. Giving strength comes also giving constraining accordingly. Let them not use this power with impunity.

A member of the Lionheart family. This power can only be used once a month. And after using it, there will be a weakening period of about three or four days. That is, the blood vessels and the heart in the body have time to decompress and recover. During this time, they cannot use any force. Otherwise, the blood vessel walls and heart will be damaged and burst, and you will basically die on the spot.

In order to solve the side effects left over from the bloodline, the Roman family has tried countless methods for generations, and finally they found that they need to solve this side effect completely. Western alchemy, black and white magic, and even witchcraft are not good, and can only learn from the Taoism of the ancient country in the East, that is, the art of refining tendons and washing the marrow.

For this purpose, they took part in that crusade. After stepping into the land of the East. Secretly broke away from the team and used more than ten years. Finally, they found a simple way to refine their muscles and veins. Although it cannot completely solve the problem left over from the bloodline, it also greatly alleviates the severity of the side effects. The most fundamental benefit is to improve the toughness of the blood vessels and the bearing capacity of the heart. The limit of using power once a month has been reduced to three times, and the recovery period has been shortened by two days.

Through their research, they found that in order to completely solve the problem, they had to find an Eastern Taoist master as a master and systematically learn the meridian techniques of the five elements of Yili. The East and West are too culturally different, and the East is too mysterious. There are many things that they can't understand. Even if you find a more detailed version, it's useless if no one guides you. In addition, the Oriental people are mysterious and conservative. So this problem persists to this day, but the Roman family has never stopped working in this area. As early as the twenties and thirties, they had become the leading investors in China in Europe.

Originally, they thought that monetary gain could achieve their goals, but they seriously underestimated the conservative and xenophobic nature of the Chinese thaumaturgical sect.

The technique of meridian marrow cleansing, which has been passed down for thousands of years, can you barbarians learn it? Wish for the moon.

In this way, they have been lectured and ridiculed hundreds of times.

For more than 100 years, with the fault of bloodline inheritance. The Roman family also slowly gave up.

The appearance of Esther. Let the failed exploration of the early years once again be placed in the contemporary patriarch Roman? On the desk of the Count of Phil.

Esle was his favorite granddaughter and a swordsmanship he had rarely seen in his past years. The blood is thick, and Cheng dù directly chases the ancestors, the first generation of Lionheart King.

The family has a chance to regain its former glory, and more importantly, he will never allow his lovely granddaughter to live to be less than thirty years old. Because the people who inherited the blood power of the Lionheart King in the history of the family have all become the heroes of the party, but they have also died young. As long as they use the power of the bloodline once, no one can live past the age of thirty. It's like a curse, a curse that can't be resolved. While bringing glory and prestige, it also brought endless grief and hurt to the family.

It's just that the sect in the East that has this kind of secret art is conservative and xenophobic, which is beyond his imagination. Therefore, he urgently needs an opportunity, an opportunity to get closer to the other party. Oriental people pay attention to cause and effect, and pay attention to gratitude and retribution. Especially Taoist Buddhism. They don't want the West to believe in God, they believe in the way of heaven.

Now, there was an opportunity in front of him, but Count Feile did not dare to make a decision lightly. Because once the news leaks, the entire family will be destroyed. The power of the Holy See is too strong for him to compete with as a Lionheart.

The Count of Phil frowned, standing by the purple satin floor-to-ceiling curtains, looking through the glass at the graceful figure of his granddaughter on the lawn.

After a long time, his face was solemn and he made up his mind.

"Someone."

An elderly butler with neatly groomed gray hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a black tuxedo pushed the door in. With his hand on his left chest, he saluted respectfully to the Count of Phil, who was standing in front of the window. Don't look at it as just a daily meeting with the owner in the house, but it's very particular, and there is a specialization in the art of speech. As a steward in the Earl's castle, his every move represents the prestige and honor of the lord's family. Every action must be thoughtful, standard and elegant, showing the demeanor of an aristocratic butler.

The gardeners, cooks, drivers, janitors, maids, bodyguards, handymen, and dozens of other people in the castle served the Romans, and they had to understand that it was the master who hired them, and it was the master who paid them a salary and supported the family. Here, the master is God, and respect for the master must be maintained at all times.

In order to be an example for everyone and lead by example, the old housekeeper is extremely strict with himself, and he has been the same for decades. When to use what kind of facial expressions, etc., all of these have been integrated into the bones. After asking, "Mr. Earl, what do you command?" ”

After that, maintain a bowing posture and quietly wait for the master's command.

"Oh, my dear brother, Old Jack. It's just the two of us here, so there's no need to be so restricted. Count Phil said.

"I'm sorry, Lord Count, but as your friend for decades, as the steward of the castle, I must always be reminded of my responsibilities."

"Well, well, it's time to retire. The temper is still so twisted. That's right, Jack, help me book a plane ticket to China today. ”

"Okay, when exactly is your time?"

"The sooner the better."

Butler Jack hesitated, and immediately said, "At 1:40 p.m., there is a flight of China Eastern Airlines returning home, and the destination is Shanghai, China. Is this flight possible? ”

"Yes, you can do it."

"Yes."

Butler Jack gave another salute, and then straightened his back, and turned to leave the Earl's study.

Once again, Count Phil looked out the window at his granddaughter, who was practicing stabbing on the lawn, with countless tenderness and doting in his eyes.

"Dear Es'er, my little angel, you are Grandpa's Yiqiē. For your sake, you can become Satan and be the enemy of the world. ”

……

The silver-gray tight-fitting practice clothes wrap the long legs, waist and thin chest, the full and delicate body, the soft blonde hair is hung into a ponytail and tied behind the head, the wet bangs and the strands of hair hanging from the ears are attached to the forehead and cheeks respectively, the melon seed face is tight, the pale pink lips are tightly pursed, there are a few crystal sweat drops on the tip of the nose, the eyes are firm and persistent, and Es'er is sweating and practicing swords on the lawn.

For more than ten years, she sprinted with her sword thousands of times a day, and the tip of her sword could stab flies flying in the air. The accuracy is staggering.

"Miss, miss, Miss Belle has arrived. She's looking for you everywhere. In the distance, a maid shouted.

Hey! Ha! Finally, with all her struggles, she stabbed her sword, and her plump and tall breasts rose and fell with her rapid breathing. The sword was put into its sheath, placed on the white round table not far from him, and took a towel to wipe the sweat from his head and face. Turning his head to the maid, he smiled and said, "Jieliya, you're late." People have come. ”

A white shadow flashed behind the maid in the distance, sixteen or seventeen years old, with short chestnut hair, big eyes, round face, a little baby fat, very lively, very youthful, very pretty little girl. Raise her little hand and pat the maid who turned back in surprise. Blinking her eyes, she said in a crisp voice: "Sister Jieliya, the next time you report early, everyone is here, you just said." Guests will be unhappy. ”

"Yes, Miss Belle, I'll pay attention next time."

"Giggles, people are joking with you, why are you so serious? Alright, alright, no longer teasing you. You go get busy. I'm going to talk to Sister Ace. ”

Send the nervous maid away. The little girl held the hem of her skirt in both hands, and galloped towards Esher like a swallow.

"Sister Ace, I've discovered a big secret, a big secret. Would you like to hear it? ”
