24. Let's talk
"Alright, Knight Luna, wait in the dining room for a while. I'm going to prepare food for you. Madame Maria pushed open the door of the dining room and looked back.
"It's okay, you go about your business." Luna Maria hurriedly said, "Actually, you just need to let the servants do such a small thing as leading the way. And, haven't I said it many times, you just call me Luna, and it always feels weird to be called by me. I learned this skill from Mr. Sebastian. If it weren't for the eldest lady who couldn't do without the teacher, the teacher would have already had his own miner. ”
"It's okay, anyway, Sebastian and I don't have any families, and it's useless to pick up the estate, so it's better to live with the eldest lady and the younger master." Lady Maria smiled, "Moreover, we two old fellows are very satisfied to be able to watch the eldest lady and the younger master grow up gradually. ”
"You're not old," said Luna Maria, smiling as she took Lady Maria's elbow, "and if you're old, I'm an old woman." ”
"Hahaha...... Lady Maria laughed at Luna Maria, "little Luna is really good at talking. Okay, then I'll get busy. Breakfast will be delivered immediately. ”
When Lady Maria turned to leave, Luna Maria sat down at random and stretched lazily.
"Miss Luna, you seem to be familiar with this Lady Maria." Sun Xiaoyu sat down next to Luna Maria and spoke.
"It's nature." Luna Maria replied casually, and began to tell the crowd.
The full name of this 'Lady Maria' is 'Maria Varive'. She is the head of the 'Leopold family', to which Baron Cassa Leopold, the eldest lady of Luna-Maria's allegiance, belongs. Her husband, 'Sebastian Varief', was the archdeacon of the Leopold family and the Knight Captain of the 'Rogge Order'. The old couple were loyal companions and comrades-in-arms of Count Roger Leopold, the founding head of the Leopold family. The young knights, like Luna Maria Hawke, including Baron Cassa Leopold, who is now acting head of the house, were all brought up under the watchful eye of the old couple.
Incidentally, Madame Maria was over sixty years old, not in her forties, as judged by her appearance.
Perhaps due to the difference in the environment of the Earth world, the human life span of the Iber world is higher than that of the human beings of the Earth world. If a person dies without illness or disaster, he can probably live to be more than 100 years old. On the other hand, those who possess psionic abilities live longer, and it is not a problem to live to be 17, 80, or even 200 years old. Even those top-tier Saint-rank powerhouses were able to reach the limit of a three-hundred-year-old human life.
Luna Maria continues:
Ever since the second and third generations of the Leopold family, the father and brother of the current acting patriarch 'Kasha Leopold', were killed in battle with demons in defense of the southern city-state a few years ago, the Varif couple have taken on the responsibility of teaching the current patriarch and supporting the Leopold family. Therefore, the Varif couple have a pivotal position in the Leopold family, although they are only deacons and chief servants of the nobles, but they have authority second only to the current head of the family.
The Leopold family were the native nobles of Brettnia, and in addition to having a town in the county, they also owned real estate and a few shops in the main city of Brettnia. Therefore, as the right-hand man of the head of the family, the Varif couple often traveled back and forth between the main city and the territory, taking care of the affairs of the two places.
This time, Lady Maria was in the city to receive Luna Maria and her party, and a few days later Captain Sebastian would come to the city to deal with the goods escorted by Luna Maria.
……
While Luna Maria was talking to the others, several maids entered the dining room with shiny silver platters and placed breakfast in front of them.
Milk, cheese, white bread, fruit and vegetable salad, fried eggs and sliced ham – simple but hearty.
Everyone was busy early in the morning, and they were already hungry by this time. After seeing the maids serving breakfast, they all sat down and prepared to start.
"Huh? Sister Luna, what about you and Sister Raisa's men? Why don't you see them? Yang Qianyu sat down and looked around, and found that in addition to Luna Maria and Raisa, there were only himself and his companions, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Oh, they've been arranged to eat in the side hall, leave them alone." Luna Maria said as she slipped the omelette on her plate.
Yang Qianyu nodded and didn't say anything more, but turned his attention to the food on the table.
For a moment, there was no conversation in the restaurant, only the sound of knives, forks and plates colliding and teeth chewing food.
Luna Maria secretly observed the behavior of the people while eating, and saw that everyone's use of knives and forks was very smooth, and the etiquette at the table was very perfect, and she couldn't help nodding secretly, and she was more and more sure in her heart that the origins of Li Xiang, Yang Qianyu and others must be unusual. After all, this kind of table manners and tableware use methods belonging to the aristocracy are not something that ordinary civilians can come into contact with from time to time, and only long-term edification and use can show so naturally.
How did she know the true origin of the traversers, although they were not nobles in the real sense, but they had all received more than ten years of teaching and training in modern civilization, and they could naturally show corresponding cultivation on various occasions.
After they had eaten and drunk, the maids led everyone to their respective rooms to rest. Due to the large number of people who crossed the villa, the guest rooms in the villa were a little insufficient, and in the end only two people could arrange a room to live temporarily, for which Madame Maria, who managed the villa, also expressed great apologies. However, Li Xiang and others didn't care too much about this.
The open-air ruined houses and rudimentary tents have been inhabited, and the bedrooms with their glass windows and comfortable beds are a paradise.
After a brief wash, everyone lay down on the bed with a thick bed^^ and quickly fell asleep.
Many people slept until the next morning.
……
In the early morning, everyone took care of their appearance. There was a shouting and cheering from outside the window.
Yang Qianyu looked out the window and saw that in the open space in the backyard of the manor, many soldiers were training.
Yang Qianyu came to the backyard and watched it up close.
Some of these fighters are practicing basic combat skills, and some are engaged in one-on-one and one-to-many battles.
Among the soldiers trained, some of them were soldiers of the Rogge Knights who accompanied Yang Qianyu and others on the escort mission this time, and some Yang Qianyu had not seen them, and they were probably soldiers stationed in this manor.
After seeing Yang Qianyu come to the courtyard, the soldiers who participated in the escort mission all greeted Yang Qianyu respectfully - the strong will be respected wherever they are, and the strong strength shown by Yang Qianyu on the way to escort naturally made these soldiers admire.
The rest of the soldiers were also quietly looking at Yang Qianyu, and yesterday, their companions said that Yang Qianyu and the others who accompanied them on the mission this time were amazing. I saw a real person with my own eyes today, so I naturally have to take a good look.
However, when they looked at Yang Qianyu, they all showed puzzled expressions. Although Yang Qianyu's height and sturdy physique in his early eights are relatively top-notch compared to the traversal, there are many people with such a physique in the world of Iber, and Yang Qianyu is average compared to them. And because of their appearance (the human race in the world of Yber is similar to the European and American races on the earth, and the appearance of the Asian people who travel through the crowd is very special here) looks very elegant, how do you look like a master who can rush and kill in the group of thieves alone.
Since the perception on the outside does not seem to be as strong as imagined, it is natural that some people will want to test it for themselves.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Qianyu." A strong man who was taller than Yang Qianyu and had a tiger's back came to Yang Qianyu. "You woke up early."
"yes." Yang Qianyu responded with a smile: "I got up early in the morning and heard that the courtyard was very lively, so I came out to take a look." ”
"It's our daily training." The strong man said, and then looked at Yang Qianyu. "I heard from the brothers on this mission that Mr. Yang Qianyu can defeat a thief group of thousands of people with one person, and he can also make a second of thieves. I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"Hehe, can't you believe what your comrades-in-arms say?" Yang Qianyu looked at the strong man.
"Ah, not really." The strong man said with a haha: "It's just a little incredible, after all, I've only heard about it." I, Hans, have always liked to experience it for myself. ”
"Oh, I see." Yang Qianyu nodded slightly. "You want to play against me?"
"That's exactly what I mean." The strong man Hans laughed. "I wonder if Mr. Yang Qianyu is interested?"
Yang Qianyu looked at Hans and activated the detection skill to take a look.
'Name: Hans Jonah'''Race: Human'''Class: Warrior'''Level: 90-Superior'''Attribute Evaluation: Strength A, Resistance A-, Constitution A-, Agility A-, Spirit N/A'''Overall Strength Evaluation: A-'
After checking it, Yang Qianyu raised his eyebrows slightly. Although this 'Hans' is not a warrior, his strength is as high as level 90, which is the ultimate level of a warrior. Except for the 'spirit' in the evaluation of the five measurements, because it can't absorb refining spiritual energy but 'N/A', the rest of the evaluations are all at the 'A' level, which can be said to be a very perfect warrior.
It's worth fighting.
"After sleeping for a day and a night, my muscles and bones are a little numb." After deciding to fight, Yang Qianyu chuckled and walked down the corridor to the middle of the field. "Wake up early in the morning and do nothing, and it's good to be active."
Seeing this, the soldiers training in the field avoided one after another, and a large area was vacated for the competition between the two.
Hans held a broad-edged knife and looked at Yang Qianyu.
Yang Qianyu unhurriedly pulled out the Wuji long stick and slowly walked into the field.
The two confronted each other ten meters apart.
"Come on!" Yang Qianyu stretched out his hand. "Guests are as they please, you can make a move first."
"Be careful!" Hans did not dare to slack off, and immediately held the knife in his hand, and his gaze became firm.
