While Angelina went to wash the dishes and chopsticks and tableware, Ling Jian also took the time to prepare dessert after the meal.

So, when Ling Jian was preparing dessert, Angelina happened to come to the living room in a hurry. The teenage girl who works as a bar girl also seems to be good at doing these chores.

The two sat opposite each other on the sofa, and Ling Key, who was not in the kitchen, was no longer so talkative. Now, Angelina has the right to speak.

Because the two of them are not familiar with each other at all, and they don't have much in common. So Angelina had to start with the only "intersection" between the two so far to find a topic.

"This morning, when I duel with Woz...... the girl said.

Ling Jian hurriedly said, "Regarding that, please forget my casual comment!" ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about." The girl shook her head, "I heard you say that the strongest swordsman in the world now is Xu Zipiao, the 'pearl in the night'!" ”

Ling Key was stunned for a moment: "You can even notice this in battle?" ”

"What, Wu Ye told me!"

Ling Jian recalled for a moment before remembering the young lady who had stopped him from leaving during the day.

"Well, I did." Ling Jian nodded in acknowledgement. He felt that he was not wrong about this. Ling Jian sincerely thinks that Teacher Xu Piao is the strongest swordsman in the world!

Maybe she was only the strongest "female swordsman" before, but with Xu Piao's current strength, she can completely remove the prefix of the word "female".

"Do you think there's anything wrong?" Ling Jian looked at the girl opposite. He could already see the girl's reverence for the mage Woz, and her conceit as a ghost sword queen. Presumably, she will have a lot of objections to the candidate of this "strongest swordsman", right?

But this is the only one, Ling Jian can't just accommodate her casually!

"No, I think your judgment is too accurate!"

But the girl's response was somewhat unexpected.

"......" Ling Jian swallowed the prepared rebuttal words hard, and looked at the girl opposite in surprise, "Uh, you agree with my judgment?" ”

"Of course!" Angelina looked natural, "Xu Zipiao, she is my idol." I've always collected images of her, and I've never seen a stronger swordsman than her! ”

"Uh...... What about Woz? Ling Jian had to ask the question himself.

"Woz is a mage, not a swordsman." Angelina frowned and looked at Ling Key, "Didn't you say it yourself?" ”

"Hehe, it's just a bit of an accident."

"What's unexpected." The girl raised her eyebrows, "Xu Zipiao is one of the most popular female witchers." ”

She suddenly thought of something, and looked at Ling Key with bright eyes: "I heard that Xu Zipiao and Zhang Wenjie are very good friends, if Ling Key is on good terms, he must have seen her too!" ”

Ling Jian played with the brass gear in his palm: "Sort of...... She taught me how to do my swordsmanship. ”

"What!" The girl jumped up at once, looking extremely excited.

"Teacher Xu Piao is my swordsmanship teacher." Ling Jian repeated it calmly.

Angelina quickly calmed down and sat down again, looking closely at Ling Key with her bright eyes.

After a moment of silence, Angelina suddenly spoke: "I forgive you for your evaluation of the duel during the day!" ”

Hearing this, Ling Jian shrugged his shoulders and relaxed.

Immediately afterward, I heard the second half of the girl's words: "But, please be sure to try with me once!" ”

Will it really turn out like this? Ling Jian felt troublesome and was ready to refuse.

But as soon as she looked up, she saw Angelina's determined eyes, and that determination that could not be violated like a queen.

It always felt like it would be more troublesome to reject her......

With a sigh, Ling Jian finally nodded.

"Okay." He stopped the girl who was about to move, "Take a rest first, don't do strenuous activities after eating." ”

But at the mention of the duel, the girl seemed to be set on fire, and she couldn't calm down at all. However, Ling Jian was unmoved, and she had no choice but to press it down and continue to taste the dessert after the meal.

Next, the conversation between the two naturally turned to swordsmanship.

"In the duel between you and Woz during the day, I am sure that you will lose, in addition to the fact that the mage is indeed too powerful, there is another reason." Ling Jian patiently explained, "His swordsmanship style is just right to restrain you. ”

Angelina also immediately showed a look of listening, and at the same time motioned for Ling Key to continue—it was also thanks to the fact that Ling Key revealed that she was Xu Piao's student, otherwise the proud Miss Ghost Sword Ji would not have listened to others' comments on her swordsmanship.

Ling Jian continued, "Angelina, you are a natural swordsman, a natural swordsman. So your swordsmanship relies more on talent, your super strength and speed, and your natural acumen for swordsmanship and combat! With these, you'll be able to crush the vast majority of your enemies on your own. ”

"And Mage Woz, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of a very different path." Ling Jian pouted, "He is a swordsman of the technical stream, and he has brought his sword skills to the extreme. He used tedious and delicate skills, incomparably precise control to play, and ate your swordsmanship. In the first part of the duel, facing off against your magic sword with a wooden sword, constantly backing out of a perfect circle, is the ultimate expression of skill - not that he deliberately showed off his skill, but simply because of his skill to achieve that result. ”

As he spoke, Ling Jian showed an uncertain expression: "Moreover, I even think that uncle's own physical fitness is not necessarily worse than yours." Even if he relies entirely on strength and speed, he will be able to defeat you...... I'm sorry, I'm not belittling you, but that uncle does feel so powerful that it's foul. ”

Angelina didn't blame him: "No, I know better than you how powerful and terrifying Woz is. I know that no matter what way he does, I will not be his opponent now. ”

Then she looked at Ling Key again and asked curiously, "What about you?" Ling, what type of swordsman are you? ”

Ling Jian smiled: "Of course it's technical." ”

Angelina's eyes lit up: "So, the same as Woz?" ”

"Let's not. So I can replicate the sword skills that Woz uses on you to a certain extent. ”

"You must show me!"

The interest was fully aroused, but Angelina couldn't sit still anymore: "The break is over, let's start!" ”

She reached out and pressed her left waist to make a gesture as she prepared to draw her sword. Then a cloud of pitch black suddenly rose from his waist, and a slender saber appeared at his side.

Because he was wearing a white dress and a long dress, the appearance of this sword looked a little out of place. The upper body of the costume is quite simple and capable, and it does not affect the movement, but the skirt on the lower body does not look like a battle outfit no matter how you look at it.

Angelina lifted her legs, lifted the hem of her skirt, and tied it around her waist. Underneath the skirt is a pair of safety pants that make it easy to move.

"What's the point of wearing a skirt like you?" Ling Jian couldn't help but complain.

"Witchers must be ready to fight at all times, right?" Angelina chuckled softly, "And in everyday life, isn't a skirt a very normal attire for girls?" ”

Ling Jian didn't say anything more about this question, got up and walked towards the backyard with Angelina. It's better to fight or compete in martial arts or something, or outside.

"Where's your sword?" Angelina followed behind, and she didn't see him take out a sword until Ling Jian opened the back door, so she couldn't help but ask.

Ling Jian looked back at the sword in the girl's hand: "Speaking of which, you really carry a weapon with you." Is there space equipment? ”

"No, it's just a little bit of my own ability, it's a space-like spell-like effect." Angelina explained, "It's not too strong, but it's just a few swords that you can carry with you." ”

"- 'Rakshasa' is a different case, she doesn't take up my talent space." After thinking about it, she added.

"Carry a small space with you......" Ling Key showed a playful expression, "It's really a convenient ability." ”

Angelina suddenly became vigilant: "Wait a minute, you won't be without your own sword!" First of all, my sword is not usually lent to others! ”

Ling Jian rolled his eyes: "How is it possible?" I'm a maker, and I've learned swordsmanship, so no matter how you look at it, you can't be without weapons, right? ”

As he spoke, Ling Key pushed open a cabinet door next to the back door, revealing a row of brackets with twenty-four swords of the same specification and style neatly placed on it.

Seeing these swords, Angelina suddenly became interested: "These are all built by you?" ”

"Of course, I'm a maker." Ling Jian picked one out casually, drew his sword out of its sheath, and a cold light flashed, "Although I am not a professional swordsmith, this ordinary long sword can still be made. ”

Ling Jian walked out of the house, came to the backyard field, and turned to look at Angelina.

"Here it is."
