185. Don't let me down
The young master Hanhan, who was practicing swords, turned around, saw Luo Er, and immediately showed an excited look, ran over quickly, wiped his sweat, and bowed respectfully, and then said:
"Fortunately, Master Rohr!"
With that, he raised his head again, noticed Nido behind Rohr, a flash of contempt and disdain flashed in his eyes, and he didn't even say hello, completely treating this stunning beautiful girl as air.
Nido was glanced at by him, and quickly shrank behind Luoer, as if she was a little afraid of the other party, and at the same time showed a look of disgust.
This Xiao, relying on the money in his family, has practiced a few swordsmanship, and his brain is not very bright, and he is notoriously unruly and unruly in the imperial circle, and he doesn't even give the prince face.
However, this product has been concentrating on sword practice, and he doesn't want to mess with his neighbors, so although the reputation is not good, it is not very annoying.
But Nido seemed to be very taboo about the other party's appearance, and she didn't take the initiative to say hello.
Rohr didn't care about the actions of these juniors, he has actually been very optimistic about this kid, although the talent is worse than Nido, but it is better to focus and work hard enough, so seeing that his training method is not right, he pointed out:
"Why do you practice like this? The movements are all deformed, and they will not have the effect of exercising, and they will form bad habits......"
"When you are tired, you should have a good rest, and don't push yourself too hard."
The little young master nodded hurriedly, and then explained:
"Master, in fact, this is the case, next month, there is an important sword competition......"
He told Rohr about it.
It turned out that yesterday, a group of children from rich families in the imperial capital saw that the situation in the city had stabilized, and gradually returned to the previous lights? In the days of drunken gold fans? Someone suggested that the swordsmanship tournament that had been abruptly interrupted should be continued.
Swordsmanship for the Empire? More than just a trick to kill enemies and defend yourself? At the same time, it is also a sport with a wide base of people and is also popular with the upper classes? The previous sword competition was very lively, and it was rare to wait for three years before it was held? But it was interrupted? It's a pity.
This proposal was immediately approved by many people, and the previous swordsmanship competition came to an abrupt end because of the attack, which made people very unhappy, and these young masters and young ladies who had nothing to do when they were full of food and had nothing to do? And they took out the money one after another? I made a small-scale one, and I should make up for my previous regrets.
The time is set for the middle of next month.
When Luo Er heard this, he was immediately interested, and hurriedly asked:
"What's the bonus?"
The little young master shook his head? Said with a grin:
"I don't care about that, I only care about honor? It's not money. ”
Can't you see that this product is young and quite visionary?
Of course? It could also be because the family is too rich to care.
He then chatted casually with Rohr about the details of the event? Register and participate? Confined to a small circle? They are all young people under the age of 35 in the imperial capital, with a wealthy family background, a head and a face, and they don't make a big deal about it, saying that it is a competition, but in fact they are just entertaining themselves.
Luo Er was not interested, and pointed out a few more random words to the other party, and continued to walk towards the office building of the Swordsman Regiment with Nido.
Halfway through, Nido suddenly whispered:
"Uncle Rohr, do you think I can go to that competition?"
Rohr was not interested in this kind of young man's entertainment, but Nido seemed very interested.
She ran away from home, and she had a few steel hammers left on her, and she needed a bonus, which was much faster than working honestly to get money.
And more than a bonus, she needs an honor and recognition from others to prove her talent in swordsmanship.
This, in fact, is also for Efuya to see, this kind of activity in the aristocratic circle, her mother with a keen sense of smell must be able to inquire, if she gets a good ranking by then, wouldn't she be able to prove to her that she can live well alone?
Hum! Tell her to go out to find a wild man behind her back, I must live well alone!
Nido thought a little angrily in her heart, looked up at Rohr again, and a strange thought suddenly popped up in her heart:
Even if you are in a hurry to find a man, you should look for Uncle Rohr, who is mature, handsome, handsome, gentle and considerate, right?
She would never have thought that Rohr was her new neighbor, because she could see from the various details of the words and deeds of Rohr's father and daughter that neither father nor daughter looked like rich people, and they would definitely not be able to afford the expensive villa next to their house.
In the face of Nido's question, Rohr stopped, showed a serious and serious expression, and carefully looked at the little girl in front of him, and circled around her a few times, pinching her arms and thighs.
Since Nido wanted to listen to him as a professional, he had to make a professional enough assessment and give a professional enough answer.
"Scared~"
Nido was flushed.
Then, Rohr touched his chin again, and after thinking about it carefully, he gave an answer:
"I don't think there ...... chance"
"Although your talent is average, your physical fitness is good, and you are a little better than the student before me."
When Nido heard this, her pale golden eyes widened slightly, and she exclaimed:
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, don't doubt my professionalism, your physical fitness is inherently good, and it's very suitable for practicing swordsmanship."
Rohr said with a serious face.
He is also telling the truth, Nido is probably because of the blood of elves, even if she lives a pampered life, her innate physical conditions are better than that of Jeanne, who has received a certain amount of training, and she is much stronger than her daughter.
Klee was seriously malnourished when she was a child, and her physical fitness naturally did not improve, that is, the villagers gradually increased, and the village's products gradually became richer, and her physique slowly improved, so she has not grown much so far.
It's also a bloodline advantage, right? Elves are born with greater agility than humans, running faster, jumping higher, and adapting better to their environment.
Speaking of which, Luo Er vaguely remembered that the elves had also been glorious in history, occupying the fattest piece of land on the continent, not because of their delicate body and high appearance, but because of their strong combat power.
Nido thought about it, and asked excitedly:
"That'...... Uncle Rohr, after I practice, can I beat that Xiao outside? ”
Rohr thought about it again, briefly simulated the scene of the battle between the two sides in his mind, and then replied:
"There's a 30% chance of winning."
"Huh? Is that all? ”
When Nido heard this, she immediately hung her head in disappointment.
Rohr wanted to tell him that this was actually a relatively optimistic estimate, and if you took into account the actual combat experience of both sides, unless Nido was a natural combat genius, there was basically no chance.
But there was some cruelty to what he said, so Rohr adopted a relatively euphemistic rhetoric:
"He has been working very hard and has practiced swordsmanship for a long time, and this gap cannot be made up by his physique."
"But...... Having said that, do you know the level of other players? What grade is he in it? ”
Nido thought for a moment and replied:
"It's supposed to be a pretty powerful kind, right? Anyway, among the young people, there are basically no beats against him, and when they fight in the ring with others, they basically win......"
"Although I heard that he lost badly last time, the other party seems to have used despicable cheating?"
"So?"
When Rohr heard this, he thought it was a little funny.
It seems that although the young masters and ladies of the imperial capital are keen on swordsmanship, their level is really not good, even Xiao can be called a king, if he changes his daughter, I'm afraid it won't be easy to beat ten?
It's a pity, who called himself so unproductive that his daughter couldn't be a rich lady?
Although Niduo in front of her is a rich lady, she is not her daughter......
Alas......
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and encouraged Nido a few more words:
"Although it is very likely that you will not be able to beat Xiao after practicing for a month, as long as you don't meet him, it is still no problem to get a good ranking."
As soon as she heard this, Nido suddenly came to her senses again, nodded vigorously, and then said very generously:
"If I can get the bonus, I will definitely invite you and my senior sister to have a big meal to thank you for helping me."
"Then you'll have to work harder."
Rohr smiled, suddenly remembered a detail, and continued to ask:
"By the way, you seem to be a little jealous of that Xiao?"
Nido nodded and whispered:
"When I was a child, I was bullied by him ......"
She then went on to recount the unbearable past.
Anyway, it was probably Niduo who learned a little swordsmanship from her father when she was a child, and then her father, who didn't speak well, praised her vigorously, which made her a little fluttery and confident.
Once at a noble fraternity, the children got together to play, Nido bragged about herself, and she didn't forget to blow a wave of swordsmanship taught by her father, but Xiao jumped out and slapped her face, and the two had a quarrel and had a duel that gambled on the dignity of the family.
After some scuffle, Nido was unfortunately beaten and cried, and her beautiful skirt was torn, and she lay on the ground and cried.
And Xiao stood next to her with a victorious attitude, waving his fists, and said with a smug face:
"What I practice is called swordsmanship! Your father taught you nothing more than juggling! ”
That's how the two got married.
Rohr listened, although he felt that little Nido was quite pitiful, and he was bullied by boys at such a young age.
But I think it's funny, two little hairy children fight, and they actually bet on dignity or something.
And in his heart, he quite agreed with Xiao's approach, since it was such a solemn and sacred thing as discussing swordsmanship, it was natural that he couldn't let it go just because the other party was a woman, that is, to prove his strength, this is the integrity and courage of a swordsman.
I didn't expect that kid to have the integrity of a swordsman at a young age, it's really not easy, no wonder he can be so focused and committed when he grows up.
But he smiled and comforted:
"Okay, it's okay, if you can practice hard, even if you can't win against him in the future, at least you won't be beaten and cried again."
As he spoke, the two happened to come to the door of an office, and the Rolls walked in without knocking, and saw the instructor lying on the table, writing hard.
It's not that he doesn't know how to be polite, but the instructor can hear his footsteps and must have known that he was coming.
Sure enough, the instructor said without raising his head:
"There's coffee on the table, you can do it yourself, I need to finish this letter."
"What happened?"
It was rare for Rohr to see the instructor write so seriously, so he asked curiously.
"My youngest son was cheated out by a woman thirty years older than him, who left me a note saying that our family had money and he didn't want to work hard......"
"I had to find him back, so I wrote to my friends asking for help."
The instructor said with a sad face, he finally fed the fat pig, but he was actually arched by an old cabbage?
Luo Er vaguely remembered that the instructor had said before that his youngest son was only 18 years old this year, and that woman was really a bit ruthless?
Facing the fact that she is about 20 years younger than herself, but the tempting and delicious Orianna is not embarrassed to move her thoughts!
It can only be said that people's hearts are not ancient, the world is impermanent, and the lower limit of human beings is always underestimated.
So he said indignantly:
"I'll help too, do you have a picture or picture of him?"
The instructor nodded again and again, and took out a black and white portrait printed in ink from the drawer, barely able to see the facial features.
By the way, he also spotted Nido who was following Rohr, so he asked in wonder:
"Why did the girl next to you change again? Why is it different every time? ”
Nido couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this.
Is Uncle Rohr so popular with girls?
But also, in a place like the imperial capital, there is always no shortage of all kinds of women around powerful men, and they are proud of it, and she has seen too many of them, such as those men who try to pester her mother, who are basically married.
"This time it's different, she's just a neighbor's child, and she wants to learn swordsmanship, so I brought her over."
Rohr said truthfully, not noticing that he had slipped out of his mouth and mentioned his neighbors.
Fortunately, Nido didn't think about it in that direction, and thought that Rohr was making up an improvised excuse to take care of her face.
"Oh? This time, aren't you going to teach it yourself? ”
The instructor continued to bow his head and write a letter, asking a question.
Rohr replied:
"I'm on a new errand right now, and I'm busy...... And she has a poor foundation, so she has to start from scratch. ”
"Ah, by the way, is there still a dormitory in the regiment now? She may need a place to live. ”
As he spoke, he glanced back at Nido, noticing the gratitude on the other party's face.
Uncle Rohr was so attentive and considerate that he even helped me think about the accommodation.
"Of course, there is, we are ready, but the students basically don't stay, and they are still empty."
The instructor spoke, and when he had finally finished writing the letter, he looked up and examined Nido carefully, only then did he notice her long ears.
"Wait, her ears, is this the legendary elf?"
"The needle doesn't poke! I've never taught elven trainees, and I've heard that all of them are natural swordsmen......"
"Little girl, I will guide you personally, don't let me down!"
