Chapter 75 Dialogue
As soon as Gresham spoke, everyone's eyes were on Feige.
"You eat first, I'll help. Feige pointed in the direction of the kitchen.
"Don't be too tired, after all, it's going to be a test tomorrow. Gresham snapped his fingers and pretended to have a sudden realization: "Ah, I just had a great idea. How about you fight these mercenary knights tomorrow? The paladins in our church learn the tactics of battle on the battlefield, not in the streets and alleys. Monster hunters all act alone, right? As far as I know, Qis's martial arts are good, and you just became a mercenary knight, so you just need to learn from each other through the competition. ”
Old man Kiplin shook his head and said, "How can the inspection of the church allow people from outside the church to come in......"
"That's it. As if he hadn't heard the old man's words, Gresham waved his hand vigorously: "Qis, stand up and let them know each other first, and you can play leisurely tomorrow." If you can defeat Zis, even if you pass the combat training. ”
"I think it's better to let the paladins ......"
"No, Pastor Kiplin, it's actually a favor. Zis is no match for paladins, and letting him come is actually lowering the bar, which is the best. The reception tonight was sumptuous, and I think it was even better than the one Bishop Nathaniel had come. It's hard to resist the hospitality, and I have to show my heart. And Ziss is alone, and you have six combatants, isn't that good?"
The mercenary knight named Zis stood up, he was as thin as bone, his hair was thick and his beard was short, the one with the scar was gray, and the other was full of rebelliousness and cruelty. He was dressed in tattered silver chain mail, and instead of carrying a longsword like the other knights, he had a scimitar hanging from the side of his thigh. Feige noticed a large red gem on the hilt of the scimitar, which alone was worth as much as the equipment of his body. So, either he bought the knife with all the money, or he snatched the weapon - from some dead man.
He had been chewing on something with the roots of his teeth as he looked at the people in the Ice Peak Fortress. Feige noticed that this Ziss did not pay attention to the significantly stronger Giles and Kailey, or even avoided himself, but kept staring at Tron, Wumama, and Ramsden with the eyes of the dead. What does that mean? Feige just knew that it was certainly not a good idea!
"Six combatants, so I am included?" Feige coughed, "You may have forgotten, I'm a priest now." According to the Sunset Mountain Fortress evaluation rules, priests are not allowed to participate in combat tests unless they ......"
"Unless it's a combat priest. Gresham looked disappointed, sighed a few times, and then said: "Feiqi, I remember that you received knight training, although you gave up yourself, but it is said that your grades are not bad, and some people have said that you are very powerful on the battlefield. Why, don't you open our eyes, I've been looking forward to it. ”
"I've never been on the battlefield, so I don't know where that comes from, unless ...... Oh, maybe it's a different kind of battlefield. Feiqi lifted his belt and tugged at his pants, the meaning was obvious, and several of the mercenary knights laughed in understanding, but Zis's expression did not change in the slightest, so that Feige paid more attention to him.
What does this guy called Ziss want to do, does he really want to wear a six? No way! Feige is sure that no one would have such a great deal of confidence. Gresham would never really be kind enough to give Icepeak Fortress, and he would even rather pay for it in order to play a better game, so there must be a trap in his plan, where is it?
Feige put himself into the role of an evil devil, "If it's me, how can I make it bad in battle?" 'One-to-six, the best plan for the Ice Peak Fortress is to let the strongest go up first, and consume the strength of the opposite side, so that there are five people behind to benefit. Therefore, as a villain, the response is ...... When he encounters Giles and Kylie, he throws in the towel, and then concentrates on dealing with the four weak chickens. Certainly not to kill, but causing some disability can be interpreted as an accident. ’
This is definitely a shady trick. Feige pondered it again, and he understood why Ziss didn't have himself in his sights. After all, he is the second young master of the Hall family, and although he is exiled, the blood relationship will not disappear because of this. A hired knight, to put it bluntly, is a long-term thug raised by the nobles with money, and there is no fief, let alone a fief. How could such a subordinate who could be discarded at any time dare to do something to the people of the Earl's family? If he was a true outlaw, it would definitely be another matter, but now he would definitely have some scruples.
If you have scruples, you can use it. Feige picked up his glass from the table and walked around the long table to Gresham, patting him on the shoulder as he passed by Ziss. "Five combatants fight a knight for an exam, which is not good to say, I have a suggestion. Just now, the inspector said that Qi Si is not an opponent of the paladin, which is considered to be a lower standard. I used to be an alchemist, but now I'm just a priest, and I'm no match for monster hunters in terms of combat. I'm going to fight with Zis, and if I win, how about passing both of them?"
Before Gresham could say anything, Kylie left his chair. However, he could not say anything, and the old man pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down. Interrupted twice by Gresham just now, the snowy owl also entered a state of alertness, and by this time he had already made the same observations as Feige. As for the solution, he had just thought of it, and Fitch had already spoken it.
Gresham picked up his glass and touched the wine glass in Feige's hand: "Good! Very good! This fighting spirit is worth encouraging, so be it! There will be one tomorrow, and then you can save the distribution of physical strength, and you can fight directly to your heart's content." Feige, you must be well prepared! Zis, you are the same, behave well. ”
The corners of Qis's mouth twitched, not a smile, but a scary look.
"I'm going to prepare. Feiqi raised his glass and took a sip, then turned to face the Marquise of Pohimana: "Honorable Madama, Zis is your knight, right?"
"You're right. The Marquise looked up slightly at Feich, who was standing beside her. She smiled, her white neck struggling out of the tight neckline of her green velvet skirt like a swan yearning for freedom. Every move she makes seems to have a story with it, making people want to explore the deep meaning. "I think tomorrow is going to be a good fight. ”
"Can you get Mr. Zess to release the water?" Feige's words silenced the entire banquet room, "A knight must be loyal to his master above all. So, as long as you're happy and you talk, it's not a loss for him, but it's very helpful for me. ”
Gresham stood up all at once, and the other paladins from Saddle Forest Fortress also stood up one after another. "Feiqi, you actually intended to cheat in front of the inspector!"
"Buying inspectors is called cheating, but the beautiful Marquise is not an inspector, am I right?" Feige spread his hands and continued, "Marquise, can you do me a favor?"
"Speaking of which, I have known your father since he was a young man, and I have witnessed his wedding to your mother. Although there was less contact later, it was still an old acquaintance. For this sake, if you are willing to do me a favor, I can grant you this request. ”
"I am willing to serve my wife. "Feige is not at all worried about helping the Marquise of Brookmana, and no matter how much he helps, it will not be beyond the scope of the soul contract. The Marquise also seemed satisfied, and raised her arm, leaving the back of her hand to Feige.
Watching Feige kiss the back of his grandmother's hand, Gresham's awkward feeling came flooding back. He glared and winked hard at Ziss. None of the hired knights were not human elves, and after finding himself seemingly involved in the whirlpool between the noble exiled young master, the noble mistress, and the paladin grandson of the noble mistress, Qi Si lowered his head and stared only at the meat on the plate, as if that was the enemy he was going to duel tomorrow.
"Feige, aren't you taking tomorrow's test as child's play......?"
"You just need to say that the agreement between you and me is nullified in the presence of everyone, I am psychologically acceptable, and this time it is not like hunting griffons on the cliffs, and there is no need to spend paperwork, let alone wait for official documents to come and go, you just need to say it in public. Feige still smiled. As long as Gresham was willing to annul the agreement, he immediately turned the agreement into a devil's contract, and the new account was superimposed on the old one. On the other hand, being able to pass a test in the easiest way (cheating) is no worse.
"I ......" Gresham set his eyes on his grandmother, he didn't expect his relatives to pull back at this time. The Marquise of Pohimana shook her head, stood up gracefully, and bowed slightly to everyone: "I'm sorry, the car ride all the way has affected my stomach, but it is difficult to continue to enjoy such a good delicacy." Please allow me to retire for a while, I need to take a walk and take a break. ”
"Of course, just ask the Marquise to be free. This time, Old Man Kiplin spoke very quickly, and definitely did not give people a chance to interrupt.
"As Fei Qi was about to leave the table, I would like to ask you to take me on a tour of the Ice Peak Fortress and give me a brief introduction to the situation here, how about it?" the Marquise waved her hand to her knights, "I don't need you to accompany me for the time being, let's take a good rest here." After one of my women leaves, you can be more enthusiastic. Continue to serve me as best you can tomorrow, okay?"
"Madame. The knights said in unison.
Old man Kiplin winked at Fitch with one eye, "Fitch, take care of the Marquise." The meaning was self-evident, and he quickly raised his glass and began to toast again in the name of praising the goddess of truth and thunder, blocking everyone's mouths from wanting to speak. Young people may be able to use momentum to get a head start, but when it comes to solutions, it is still age that brings more advantages.
Feige made a gesture of please, and the Marquise of Pohimana put her hand in the crook of his arm and left. Gresham watched this scene, although he knew that his grandmother came with him this time, and the main purpose was to probe the bottom of the Hall family through Feige, and strive for greater initiative in the matter of the model leader. However, looking at the intimate and enthusiastic scene of Feige and the Marquise leaving together, he always felt that something was not right.
Wait, what am I here for? Gresham decided to make sense.
