Shortly after Vincent leaves Carolan's room, Carolan calls Lisa to see if Rudolph is in the manor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What? You say Rudolph and Elise are jousting in the jousting arena? Carolan looked at Lisa in surprise. Lisa had just gotten Caroline's order to go out and came back not long after, and then told Caroline the news.

"Yes, not long after I went out, I saw a lot of samurai rushing to the martial arts arena, and they were all muttering about how Her Highness Elise would test Rudolph's swordsmanship skills in the name of Senior Sister." Lisa nodded, then described what she had just seen.

"In the name of Senior Sister, Rudolph's swordsmanship skills are assessed... That's fine. Originally, Carolan thought that Rudolph couldn't resist challenging Elise, and if that was the case, Carolan would probably have to consider forcibly stopping the competition. After all, Rudolph's swordsmanship is inferior to Elise according to his own words, and if he loses to Elise in public, it will undoubtedly cause great trauma to Rudolph's self-confidence, and even damage the glory of the Klose family as a martial noble; Even if he outplayed Elise, it wouldn't do any good, because people would have a natural tolerance for Elise, both as a guest and as a woman. As for the tacit understanding between the two of them, a perfect draw plot of sympathy for each other? Just Rudolph's temper? Carolan rolled her eyes.

However, if it is Elise who tests Rudolph's swordsmanship as a senior sister, then there is no problem. Regardless of the outcome, people will praise the Klose family for teaching well, so no matter how many people go to watch, there is no problem.

"Let's go, shout to Vincent, and we'll go join in the fun." Carolan smiled and prepared to take Vincent to the martial arts arena to watch this fight, although he couldn't beat Rudolph himself, but occasionally watching Rudolph be educated is also a thing that makes her feel refreshed.

After meeting Vincent, Caroline and the others went out to the jousting ring. It has to be said that the martial spirit of the people of this era is still very strong, and along the way, Caroline saw many men and women rushing towards the martial arts arena, and they were full of enthusiasm to discuss the swordsmanship of Elise and Rudolph.

"Of course, Her Highness Elise is stronger, you must know that at the tribal conference in Jutland last year, Her Highness Elise easily defeated her fiancé Harald and won the championship! Even in Valhalla's Valhalla, Her Royal Highness Elise can easily win Odin's favor. Caroline, who was not accustomed to listening to the gossip of others, was suddenly attracted by the words between the two Danish warriors, because there was a little too much information revealed in this passage.

There are two things that can be heard from this passage, one is that Elise's subordinates actually don't respect Harald very much, and they don't even bring honorific titles when they mention Harald. Second, there should be a big problem between Elise and Harald.

Because Jutland tribal conventions Carolan knew, each tribal assembly was a carnival between the Norse tribes. One of the most important programs is the warrior tournament, and the Nordics are a place where violence is paramount, and winning a jousting tournament can not only win great benefits for your own tribe, but also bring you high fame. If you are the leader of a tribe yourself, congratulations, your tribe will swell in a very short period of time, and a large number of people will come to you because they admire your fame. So if Elise and Harald had a very good relationship, she wouldn't have chosen to beat Harald to win the championship anyway, because she was a woman.

"Oh, lala~~~ It's kind of interesting." After Caroline figured out the barrier between Elise and Harald, her mood instantly improved. Originally, the center of Danish rule in this era was not on the island of Zealand, but in some ports in the northern part of Jutland. As the representative of the more civilized tribes in the north of Jutland, Elise and the representative of the pirates on Zealand, Harald, even if they came together because of marriage, it does not mean that they are of the same mind, but from the perspective of historical development, in the end, it was the pirates on Sealand Island who won the final victory in this competition.

Thinking about it, Carolan and the others had already walked to the martial arts arena before they knew it. At this time, the competition field was already crowded, and the soldiers were huddled together regardless of each other, shouting and cheering in unison for the people they supported.

"Rudolph, it's been almost ten years. Do you remember when we practiced? There weren't so many people coming to watch us compete. Elise teased as she pulled out her weapon, I have to say that if you just look at the weapon, Elise is more like an apprentice who has been inherited from Herman's mantle, and she, like Herman, uses a very ordinary broad-edged sword. Rudolph, on the other hand, has always favored two-handed heavy swords, which is very different from Herman, who pursued the rigor and elegance of swordsmanship.

"I couldn't wield such a heavy sword at that time... Although Rudolph is usually reckless and irritable, he will never act rashly in the arena, especially when the opponent is a dangerous enemy like Elise.

"Come on, let me see how you've grown during this time, if your progress is too slow, I'll laugh at you." As she spoke, Elise pointed diagonally to the ground in front of her with her sword in her right hand, and with her left hand, she pressed the back of her hand to her waist in a standard sword-wielding salute.

At this time, Carolan finally squeezed to the front of the onlookers with the help ,,,,of Vincent, otherwise with Carolan's current height, it would be really choking to see the situation on the martial arts field clearly.

"Whew. No way.. Caroline, who was sweating from the crowd, didn't have time to breathe, but was startled by the sudden burst of cheers behind her, and it turned out that at this time, Rudolph took the lead in kicking off the two-man competition with a charge.

"Boom." The blades collided and made a pleasant low sound, and Elise did not choose to parry with Rudolph, but only used her flexible pace to pick up the tip of her sword with her backhand and slash it in the direction of Rudolph's sword-holding hands, and then hit Rudolph's two-handed greatsword from the side.

And Rudolph took the most direct and violent response after seeing Elise's actions: he stopped suddenly, forcibly used his hands as a stick, and swept towards Elise fiercely, so sharp and crisp, that Elise could only jump away to avoid Rudolph's attack.

"Hehe, you still like to solve everything with violence. But have you forgotten the teacher's teaching, the strength must always be left at the most critical moment. In the first encounter, Elise, who was a small disadvantage, still looked very relaxed, but Rudolph looked a little more solemn.

"My father also said that only the final victor is qualified to give a victory speech." Rudolph responded to Elise's words with his eyes still fixed on Elise's feet, and took two steps back to keep a safe distance, his weapon was longer anyway, and it was not a disadvantage to take two steps back.

"Hehe, arrogant little boar, you still haven't changed at all from the beginning." Elise lowered her eyebrows, muttering as if she was sighing and reminiscing. The voice of this sentence was so low that almost no one could hear it, but unfortunately, Carolan, who had a very sensitive ear, heard it.

"Hmm, little boar?" Carolan glanced at Rudolph with a confused expression, and she couldn't imagine that Rudolph, who was so rough now, also had a small and fresh year.

"Well, it's a very vivid nickname." Carolan found that there were always people around her from time to time who she didn't expect, such as Otto, who suddenly appeared behind Carolan now.

“。。 Well~ I have always heard very well, and my father said that it was God's favor. Plus I know some lip language. Otto looked at the surprised Caroline calmly, as if to say something very ordinary.

"I also think it's very vivid. No..... You.. How did you end up here. It took Caroline a long time to react and ask such a question.

"My father asked me to invite Elise to the palace for dinner, but I didn't expect to see such a great scene. Ann La little Caroline, quietly let us who don't know how to play with weapons look at this perfect art. It can be seen that Otto really appreciates the confrontation between Rudolph and Elise, not only praising Rudolph's powerful slash with an intoxicated face, but also cheering for Elise's dexterous and quick stabbing without feeling, as if he doesn't care at all about his status as a prince, but huddles with the rude warrior maids of the Klose family, and even argues with a certain warrior over the treatment between a certain Elise and Rudolph. Caroline suddenly understood why Henry the Birdcatcher would rather challenge the entire aristocracy than let Otto inherit the throne.

At this time, the situation on the field was already obvious, and Rudolph was indeed no match for Elise. Elise is very familiar with some of Rudolph's routines, and can often avoid Rudolph's tricks at the most critical moments. When Elise was still as dexterous as a banquet dancer, and Rudolph couldn't keep his breathing steady, even Carolan knew that Rudolph was going to lose.

There is a small secret to maintaining physical strength during the competition, and that is to maintain the breathing rate. Not only will this confuse your enemies, but it will also ensure that your stamina is not too depleted. So when Rudolph's breathing was noticeably faster, everyone knew that the results of the competition were coming out.

"Rudolph, your progress is too slow, so slow that compared to me, your level is simply regressing." Elise did not let her guard down until the last moment, and continued to use words to force Rudolph to continue the attack in order to wear down Rudolph's physical strength.

"Hmph." Rudolph also found that his situation was not good at this time, so he changed his tactics, stood his long sword upright on the ground, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and put on a defensive posture, ready to make a final fight.

"It's useless, Rudolph, you are strong in strength, and you are mature in your skills, but in terms of thinking, you are still the child who shouted to teach the teacher ten years ago." Elise pointed her sword at Rudolph's face and took the initiative for the first time, ready to end the match.

Elise's swordsmanship is completely different from what many people think, she doesn't like to walk, but likes to jump and move. Of course, as a bystander, Caroline had to admit that Elise's swordsmanship was simply full of a seductive beauty.

Elise jumped close to Rudolph step by step, in the order of left and right, but if you want to beat Elise by relying on this apparent pattern, then you are too naïve, Rudolph has already suffered several losses.

As Elise approached Rudolph in a very dangerous position, Rudolph moved. He threw the weapon at Elise as if it were garbage, and then let out a roar and pounced on her like a lion.

"I'm Cao... Didn't I use this last time I cheated? Carolan fell into a state of bewilderment when he saw Rudolph throw his weapon, because when he threw it without light, he was severely taught by Rudolph that the weapon should not be lost, and he retorted at the time that if he could not defeat the enemy, then what was the point of holding on to the sword. I didn't expect to see Rudolph play such a hand today.

“。。。。。。” Elise was also stunned by Rudolph's actions, and only had time to clear the weapon that Rudolph had thrown over, and then was bumped into Rudolph's arms. However, Elise is worthy of being a master, and after finding herself in the stage of hand-to-hand combat with Rudolph, she also let go of her weapon and smashed a punch into Rudolph's eyes.

“。。。 This must be painful. Carolan and Otto said as they saw this scene.

In the end, the winner was still Elise, but Elise also looked extremely embarrassed, and it was obvious that she had suffered a lot as a woman in the final stage of the struggle. This can be seen from Rudolph, who is now a little unable to get up, how ruthless Elise is.

"Wonderful !!" At the moment when Rudolph fell, the whole arena boiled, and everyone chanted Elise and Rudolph's names alternately, not only cheering for Elise's victory, but also winning the praise that Rudolph's offensive swordsmanship deserved.

"Hey, why bother." Seeing her brother's miserable appearance, Caroline complained as she stepped forward to help her brother up.
