Chapter 13 Your aristocratic manners have learned dogs
Rist sprinted, very fast, when approaching the first target, his hands were unreined, he drew his bow, set up an arrow, shot out, and hit the bull's-eye, his whole process was very calm, but the coherence of his movements seemed very rigid, not as easy as Wright's movements.
Soon Lister shot several more targets in a row, all of which hit the bull's-eye, but Lin Xia always felt that Lister's movements were very strange, and ran his true qi to look at Lister. Sure enough, Rist's fighting spirit fluctuated, and there was still a big gap between his riding skills and Wright's, and he forcibly stabilized the horses under his crotch through his fighting spirit to stabilize his upper body.
Rist quickly shot the rest of the targets, only the seventh target was slightly off, shooting to the nine rings, and the other nine targets were all ten rings that hit the bull's eye. If calculated in terms of the number of rings, Rist should be the first place in this riding and archery competition.
Lin Xia said to Wright: "If you don't shoot a double target at the end, you should be able to get a hundred rings." But now it's second. ”
Wright shook his hand indifferently and said, "I don't care about the first and second, I just need to know that Rist's riding and shooting are not as good as me." ”
Lin Xiagang wanted to praise Wright for his broad-mindedness, but Wright said again: "I'll stimulate him later." ”
Lin Xia looked behind Wright and said, "He's here." ”
Wright turned his head sharply, and saw Rist standing behind him expressionlessly, facing him, and scolded: "You dead face, you want to scare me to death." ”
Rist ignored Wright's words, and just said lightly: "I'm not as good as you in riding and shooting." Then he turned to leave, and glanced in the direction of Lin Xia as he left.
Wright looked at the back of Rist's departure, his heart was extremely awkward, he had thought of a lot of words to stimulate Rist, but Rist's sentence "I'm not as good as you" made all his words swallow into his stomach, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Xia looked at Wright's expression and patted Wright on the shoulder.
Soon the competition of more than 100 people was over, and at this time, an officer of the Royal Forest Army shouted loudly: "This morning's cavalry and archery competition has ended, and the results of the competition are now announced." 1st place, Lister, 99 rings. ”
Lin Xia looked at Lister, and when Lister heard that he had won the first place, his face was still calm, as if the ranking was not important to him.
The Guards officer continued: "Second place, Wright, Ninety-Eight Rings, Third Bradley Seventy-Eight Rings, Fourth Place, Willy, Sixty-five Rings. ”
After the officers of the Royal Forest Army finished reading the first four, they did not continue to read, because the number of rings of the people behind them was really miserable, according to Lin Xia's observation, at least more than half of the people were zero rings, and there were only a dozen rings of other people, only the first four of these people were high-level people in the army, and they wanted to be more strict with their children, so that they could have such an intercity.
The officer of the Royal Forest Army said: "The morning competition has ended, everyone rests, and the competition will start in the afternoon." ”
At this time, several palace attendants came to the martial arts arena and led the competition to the dining room, and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army maintained order.
Lin Xia looked in the direction of the stands and saw that everyone in the stands was also leaving. At this time, Wright walked up to Lin Xia again and said, "Don't look at it, the fathers don't eat with us." ”
"You seem to know a lot?" Lin Xia asked.
"I came to see it four years ago with the old bastard, and we know the general process. Wright said.
Soon everyone arrived at the designated dining place and started eating, Lin Xia made a meal and sat down at a table by himself, and everyone else avoided from afar, as if Lin Xia had a plague on his body.
It was Wright who cooked, and he didn't care about other people's eyes and sat down with Lin Xia.
Lin Xia asked, "Everyone else is avoiding me like a plague, and you are still sitting with me?"
"It's just a meal, why do you want to do so much, this is the most spacious. Wright said.
"Aren't you afraid of being excluded by them?" Lin Xia said.
"I'm afraid of a fart, it's just a bunch of waste. The reason why they are reluctant to eat with you is only because the Xilin family is now in decline, and you are not studying in the noble academy, they feel that eating with you is a loss of noble status. Wright said.
"You're not afraid of losing your aristocratic status?" Lin Xia asked.
"What's the use of being a nobleman? You see, these people look like people now, and if they go to the battlefield, they have to be scared to pee. Wright said.
Lin Xia nodded, this Wright is a pragmatic person. But soon Lin Xia knew why Wright was sitting with him.
The image of Wright's eating is like he hasn't eaten for eight hundred years, completely ignoring the image of the noble, and quickly pulls the food into his mouth.
Lin Xia looked at the others, and these people all looked at Wright eating with disdain. It is estimated that even if Wright does not share a table with Lin Xia, no one wants to eat at a table with Wright.
By the time Lin Xia started to eat, Wright had already finished eating, and there were still rice grains and oil stains on his face, so he wiped his oily mouth with his sleeve in disregard of his image. Seeing Lin Xia's eyes looking at him, Wright said: "I'm used to staying in the barracks, and when I march and fight, I always hurry up to eat, and if I eat slowly, I can't eat." ”
Lin Xia ignored Wright and ate with peace of mind.
"You really can't cultivate Fighting Qi?" Wright asked suddenly.
Lin Xia glanced up at Wright and said, "What do you think?"
"I don't believe it, a hero like King Lionheart, no matter how bad the descendants are, it is impossible for them to even cultivate their fighting spirit, the old bastard of my family said that the Xilin family has been suppressed for so many years, and it is time to soar into the sky. Wright glanced at the others again and said, "Only those wastes will think that the Xilin family is in decline." ”
Lin Xia said in his heart: "Brain-dead fans are really unbelievable, and they are also a father and son with two brains." He said to Wright: "I can indeed cultivate Dou Qi. ”
"Look, I'll just say it. Wright was a little excited.
......
And at the same moment, in the dining room where the ministers ate, the big fat Count Ferdinand was alone at the table, and he quickly pulled the rice into his mouth, if Lin Xia saw it, he would definitely say, sure enough, there must be a son, there must be a father.
Antonio was also eating alone in the corner, and the others were far away, which was very similar to Lin Xia's situation.
The hall was talking about this morning's riding and archery competition, originally many people's children were still a little ashamed because they were zero rings, but when everyone mentioned Lin Xia, they all had a sense of superiority, no matter how bad their son was, he was better than Lin Xia's who couldn't ride a horse.
And one of the middle-aged men, not far from Antonio, suddenly said: "Viscount Antonio, I advise you to take the child home after dinner." My son ejaculated eighteen rings in the morning, and I almost have no face to see people, and you still have the face to eat here. Although he said that he had no face, the application on his face was full of pride. In addition to the top four, the 18th ring is already a very good result.
"Baron Bruce, pay attention to your words, you a baron speaks to me, a viscount in such a tone, have you learned the etiquette of the nobility of a dog? Antonio said. If it was usual, Antonio would generally choose to be patient, but when it came to Lin Xia, Antonio rarely replied.
Baron Bruce was stunned, he didn't think that Antonio would be abnormal today, no matter what he said about Antonio in the past, he would bear it silently, and said angrily: "My son is a second-level warrior, your son can't even cultivate his fighting spirit, be careful of being crippled, this life is over, it's too late to regret it." ”
Hearing Baron Bruce say that his son was a second-class warrior, Antonio did not reveal Lin Xia's rank, and said, "Do you want to have a competition before the afternoon competition?" Antonio was about to take off his gloves and throw them in Bruce's face and duel him.
Bruce's face turned pale, although he also cultivated martial arts, but his talent was limited and he only cultivated to the third level, but the threshold of the fourth level could not be crossed, and the nobles of the imperial capital knew that Antonio was already at the fourth level at the age of twenty, and said busily: "I don't care about you on an occasion like today." "Turn and leave.
When Bruce attacked Antonio, Count Ferdinand wanted to clear the siege for Antonio, but when he heard Antonio's counterattack and take off his gloves, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Antonio looked at Bruce's back and smiled, he seemed to have forgotten that he had the strength of the fourth level, even if the strength of the fourth level was not as good as the senior generals of the military, but it was not bad in the aristocratic circle. Many times it is not that Antonio is too weak, but because Lionheart's signature is too strong, which leads to Antonio's lack of confidence.
In the past, the nobles only attacked Antonio himself with words, but now they have begun to attack their own son, which gives Antonio a rare urge to resist.
With the improvement of Lin Xia's martial arts, he had already cultivated to the third level a year ago, which was a top genius in the entire continent, which made Antonio proud, but there were also concerns about the fourth-level spell of the Xilin family.
But for the sake of his son, he also has to straighten his waist.
At the end of the luncheon, Bruce deliberately left at the same time as Antonio, and Bruce said in a voice that only Antonio could hear, "I will never forget Catherine's death." ”
Antonio was stunned and stood in place, watching Bruce slowly leave.
......
Soon the afternoon competition will begin, and people will return to the martial arts arena one after another, and the officers of the Imperial Forest Army will preside over the lottery of the children of the nobles.
There are more than 100 people participating in the competition, in order to speed up the progress, a total of eight groups, each group of 13 to 14 people for melee, the final winner of the one advanced to determine the top eight.
After the quarterfinals are decided, they compete in pairs and decide the first place all the way. Finally, the results of mounted archery are combined to determine the final ranking.
"Don't get in a group with Riester, or you won't even be able to make it to the quarterfinals. Wright whispered beside Lin Xia.
"Aren't you very confident in your own strength?" Lin Xia asked.
"I'm only level three now, Rist is already level four, if other people are level four, I'm not afraid, although there is a gap in strength, but it's not without a chance, but Rist is different, his fighting spirit has attributes. Wright said.
"Fighting spirit still has attributes?" Lin Xiaqi said.
