Chapter 11: Carolan's Swordsmanship

A new day has begun, and the thrilling manhunt that took place last night has not affected the ordinary people living in the city of Memleben, this world will always be like this, and the general public will never be able to see the most real scene of this world if it is not for chance; As the sun rises, people from far and wide pour into the city's market area to start a busy day; And those nobles who had heard about what had happened last night wanted to do something to make a splash with these things, and when they saw the series of corpses on the city wall, they immediately knew that their best move was to go home obediently and make people as if they didn't know what to do.

"Brother, look at what's hanging on the wall." Catherine pestered her father and his brother early this morning to come to the market with them; Because she heard that there would be a circus from afar in the city recently, Catherine missed last year's performance because she had to stay at home to take care of her sick mother, so this year she tried her best to pester her father and make sure to come to the market to see the miraculous performance that was passed down by those friends.

"Huh?" The muse looked a little unawake because he had been picked up early in the morning by his father, Old Han, to prepare the goods for today's sale, but when he looked in the direction Catherine had indicated, her sleepiness disappeared without a trace, "Catherine, don't look there. The first reaction of the muse was to rush to his sister's side and blindfold Catherine, although their family has declined, and now their family is almost no different from those ordinary businessmen except for the glorious history of their ancestors, but for his sister, Muse still hopes to try her best to let Catherine live the same life as those noble ladies, at least not to face the dark reality of this world at such a young age.

"Brother, why are you blindfolding me! Muse! I'm going to be angry if you don't let go! Ignoring Catherine's struggles, the Muse's carriage passed through the gate laden with corpses and entered Memleben, and although the Muse did not know what had happened, he saw two words on the corpses that were very obvious: demonstration. And the nobles who also passed through the city gate and entered the town to greet Henry saw it more clearly, in addition to seeing the king nakedly asserting his control over the country, they also saw the king's anger at the matter, knowing that Henry had not killed anyone for a long time.

But whether it's the nobles who are careful to keep themselves from running into the guns of the enraged king, or the commoners who struggle hard to live and struggle for their daily rations, none of them have much to do with our protagonist Caroline; When he saw Carolan unharmed at home the previous night, Count Hermann simply left everything and returned to his study, and Madame Canossa followed him in and did not come out all night; Carolan was not given any chance to ask, but that night, ten murderous guards were stationed in the courtyard where Caroline lived, and they told Caroline that from now on they were all Caroline's subordinates.

Carolan, who was so sleepy last night that she couldn't open her eyes, didn't think too much about it and fell asleep directly, but when she woke up the next day, she was pulled up by Rudolph who broke into the room and said that he wanted to teach him swordsmanship in person, and Rudolph also pointed to the sky and swore that he would make Caroline an excellent enough warrior to protect himself; Then Carolan, who was still in a daze, was brought by Rudolph to the ten warriors who claimed to be inseparable from Carolan in the martial arts hall of Klose's house.

"Pick a weapon, my brother, the weapons here are all left over from the family's ancestors. Hold them, feel their breath, and then inherit the will of the ancestors contained in them to become a great warrior. Rudolph waved his hand to the side of a row of squires with various weapons in their hands, and then said to Caroline after performing an ancient ritual on them.

Carolan also felt the change in Rudolph's tone at this time, which was different from his usual rude and uninhibited tone, and Rudolph, who looked at these weapons, looked serious and fanatical; Even Caroline, who no longer knew the situation, knew the importance and sacredness of these weapons, so Caroline restrained the reluctant expression on her face and motioned for Robert, the leader of the guards, to come over.

After washing her hands with the water brought by Robert, Caroline carefully checked whether the clothes on her body were neat and tidy, and then stepped forward and saluted the weapons in Rudolph's style; Seeing Caroline's rigorous actions, Count Hermann, who had been secretly hiding in the corner of the hall and observing everything, turned around and left the hall through the small door, knowing that his eldest son, who was reckless but reliable, would teach his second son well; There was not much time left for him, and Herman had to lay a solid enough foundation for Carolan and the Klose family in the next few years, so solid that if he left, it would be enough to ensure the glory of the Klose family, which was also the responsibility of a father and a noble parent.

Lady Canossa saw her husband come out outside the hall and walked up to her, because today involves the inheritance of ancestors, and Canossa, as a woman, cannot enter the hall; So I can only wait outside for my husband and son to come out. Canosa, who knew her husband very well, was relieved just by looking at Herman's expression, but when she saw Herman as if she was going out, Canossa said nervously: "Oh, Herman, you were so badly injured last night, you should stay at home and recuperate today." His Majesty will understand you. ā€

Herman took Canossa's hand and did not stop walking towards the door; "No, Canossa, I must go; Time is of the essence, especially after these events, and every second counts. Herman paused and continued, "For Carolan and for Rudolph." ā€

When Canossa heard Herman say this, she knew that she had no position to stop Herman, it was a father's decision; Lady Canossa sent Herman on his horse; Then he told Herman to pay attention to his body and not to stay away from the guards, and he nagged for a while before reluctantly letting Herman go.

After seeing Herman go away, Canossa suddenly turned around and walked towards the martial arts hall, and she decided that she would never let her two sons out of her sight from now on; Even if it were true that what had happened last night had been a test given to her by God, as the bishops had said, she would not be able to go through it again; "After all, I'm just a woman, I'm not the father of faith." This blasphemous thought flashed through Canossa's mind, and she quickened her pace, she couldn't wait to see her two sons.

The guards in the hall closed all the doors and windows to make the hall somewhat gloomy, and under the light of the candles, the attendants held their glorious weapons in their hands with holy faces; Any of these weapons, which had once terrified their foes on the battlefield or in the arena, were now moaning, whispering to their new masters.

Caroline followed the feeling in her heart and walked in front of a weapon, and finally stopped in front of a two-handed sword, the moment she saw this weapon, Caroline's gaze could no longer be taken off, "Okay, that's it!" Caroline stretched out his right hand and grabbed the weapon and raised it suddenly, and for a moment he felt that the weapon was also responding to him, he saw the glorious results of this weapon, and likewise, he saw the blood and fire contained in this weapon; After seeing Carolan holding this weapon alof, all the warriors around him touched his chest with one hand and whispered: May the ancestors bless you with good luck and prosperity.

Rudolph likewise stroked Caroline's chest, or rather the weapon in Caroline's hand; After he had finished saluting, he came over to Caroline and said, "This weapon is called Dull, take it, and let all the enemies know what despair is." Carolan nodded heavily at Rudolph.

When Caroline picked up the lightlessness, a sense of sacredness welled up in her heart; His sense of unreality about this world was dispelled at this moment by the sense of sacredness and responsibility that surged in his heart. He felt that he was more connected to the world.

"So, let's get started; Let me see how far you've gotten to your swordsmanship. When Rudolph saw Caroline raise the lightless, he didn't know why a strange feeling arose in his heart, just as Moses saw the angel burning in the sky who lit the way for himself, and Rudolph felt that his brother seemed to have an indescribable power on him. Shaking his head to throw the strange feeling out of his mind, Rudolph drew his weapon and prepared to test his brother's swordsmanship.

When Madame Canossa entered the hall, she was surprised by the sight: Caroline was fighting Rudolph with a weapon larger than Heinrich's customary greatsword, and it did not seem to be the unilateral teaching she had imagined; Canossa covered her mouth in surprise, as far as she could remember, her youngest son, who was known for his benevolence and kindness, did not seem to be good at swordsmanship, Caroline used to be a very gentle and gentle person, and even won the nickname of "Good Carolan" in aristocratic circles; If it weren't for such a dangerous thing this time, and Herman's plan really required Carolan to have a certain amount of self-protection ability, she wouldn't bear to let her husband and eldest son force Carolan to learn swordsmanship that he had never been interested in.

"Damn! Carolan, you've been witchcrafted! So much power! Robert! You go on, with a great axe! Rudolph shouted after suddenly jumping out of range of Carolan; He was really aggrieved, first of all, he didn't expect Caroline to be so tricky; Secondly, Carolan's swordsmanship is really poor, but his strength is simply strong, like the Titans in the mouth of Greek pagans, and every time he collides with himself, he thinks he has hit the strongest boar in the mountains. And he couldn't use those nirvana swordsmanship on his younger brother, so he was restrained everywhere in the fight with Caroline, and he could only let Robert, who was already stunned on the side, replace him.

"The strength ,,, is great again, and it seems that when I got up this morning, my strength and physical fitness have become stronger again. Am I mutated? Carolan felt the surging power in his body as Rudolph was out of the battle circle, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy; People are like this, they are always afraid and afraid of the power they don't understand. "But whatever, if only he could protect himself." Gripping the Dull, Carolan continued to meet Robert; No matter what, he will never experience a situation where he is hunted down and killed, he has to protect himself, he wants to protect all the people around him who love him.
