Chapter 10: Friends by the River

After 40 minutes, the school grounds of the Returnant camp.

The sun was shining brightly, and it was uncomfortable to be exposed, but many people still came to the unobstructed open-air school grounds to watch the duel approved by Princess Sophia herself. The officers of the Young Zhuang faction have long occupied most of the best positions. It's not so much that they're cheering for Bahru, it's that they're more interested in seeing Owen look foreign.

Before the duel began, Bahru glanced at one of the soldiers, who immediately walked up to Owen with a saber and handed it to Owen.

Even a small soldier had a contemptuous and mocking face, and if someone else had been humiliated like this, he would have been furious, but Owen still smiled lightly and took the knife from the little soldier's hand with a faint smile.

"Hold it steady, don't fall to the ground in fright. Bahru said disdainfully, "I won't bully you." You take the weapon, I will be unarmed. ”

"A knife is a good knife, but," Owen took the hilt and tossed it in his hand, "I don't like weapons, so you should take this knife." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately burst into laughter. The group of young Zhuang officers leaned back with laughter, mercilessly laughing at Owen's inadequacy.

Bakhru also smiled, and he spread out his hands: "What do you say, this knife is not easy to handle? Then this is good, all the weapons in the school field, let you choose one at will......"

"Two pieces will do. A young Zhuang officer interjected.

"Look at his thin body, can he afford two weapons?" said another young Zhuang officer.

"Hey, boy. You're still young, give up early. Others persuaded Owen in a "bitter" tone, "Captain Bahru is not something you can afford to provoke, and a beating to him is enough for you to lie in bed for a week." ”

"Don't worry, I promised Her Royal Highness the princess that I would never be heavy-handed. Bahru waved his hand to his comrades in the crowd, "Otherwise, boy, if you can survive three minutes without falling, you will win." ”

"It doesn't take three minutes. Owen shook his head, "Also, didn't you already have the knife?"

"What?!"

After Owen mentioned this, everyone noticed that the knife that was originally in Owen's hand was now in Bahru's left hand, and the two were still about 20 meters apart. How did Owen quietly "put" the knife into Bahru's hands? No one could perceive it, not including Bahru himself, and this shocked all the young officers who had been laughing at Owen, including Bahru himself.

"Alright, can the duel begin?" Owen said, smiling and asking the opponent in front of him if he could be considered an "opponent".

"Stinky boy, see how I clean you up!" Bahru threw the knife on the ground. ,

The knife edge was facing downwards and was submerged in the hard mud, leaving only the handle of the knife on the outside, which is enough to show the strength with which Bahru threw the knife. If it was originally said that Bahru proposed this duel just to tease Owen, then after experiencing the strange thing just now, Bahru had vaguely felt that Owen had some skills that he did not understand, which made Bahru have to look directly into Owen's eyes for the first time, but as soon as eye contact occurred, a mysterious sense of fear arose from Bahru's heart, and the coolness rushed along his back from his spine to the back of his head. This change has changed Bahru's mentality: he must take down Owen by the most ruthless means, otherwise something terrible may happen that he did not expect.

After getting Sophia's consent, Alice, who was in charge of acting as the referee and witness, said loudly: "Now I announce: this duel will officially begin in 3 seconds--"

“3。 ”

“2。 ”

“1。 ”

Before Alice's "1" could be heard, Bahru rushed towards Owen and used all his strength without any reservations......

On another continent, the war-torn kingdom of Medin, the fortress of Sole, which is controlled by the Sealand army.

Although it was not yet time for lunch, the cooks in the Western Army were already busy. The amount of food they had already cooked for six or seven people was delivered to General Finger's room, and they were told to continue to add more.

It is said that all of this food was eaten by one person.

It's not that the man eats too much, it's that he's been hungry for too long.

The dining table in front of the gobbling prince Harun was piled up with neatly eaten plates, and in order to fill his hungry stomach, as the prince of a country, he no longer cared about the etiquette of the royal family. And only those who have truly experienced life and death know that nothing is more important than living.

At the table, there were two people waiting. One was General Aiden Finger, the "Eye of the Condor", and the other was a young face that had never been seen in this army. After today, the other "Prince Harun", who had been working with the soldiers for several months, was finally able to tear off the realistic human skin mask, end the task of the stand-in, and return to his original identity: the knight Andillo.

"Your Highness, you have eaten too much, and if you continue to eat, your life will be in danger. Andilo finally couldn't help it and reminded.

But Prince Harlan did not seem to hear, and he continued to grab a loaf of bread from the basin and stuff it into his mouth, swallowing half of it, and then he could not wait to pick up a glass of milk and pour it desperately into his already stuffed mouth.

When there was a "cluck" in his throat, Prince Harun had finished eating uncontrollably, and Andilo was finally relieved.

General Aiden Finger had been standing by and waiting, he did not speak, but quietly observed. The brutal behavior of this young man who claimed to be a prince during the meal was very different from his impression of the elegance of a member of the royal family, but Prince Harlan's unique maverick style could not be imitated by others. From this, it can be concluded that the young man sitting in front of him at this time should be Prince Harlan himself, not another impostor.

After confirming the identity of the other party, General Finger spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince has suffered a lot these days. ”

"It's nothing. The prince wiped his mouth with a napkin and replied, "Something like crossing a war zone is an easy task than a day of adrift at sea in a canoe." ”

"That's true. After experiencing the sneak attack of the 'Sun Devouring Pupil', being involved in the civil war of the Rocal Empire, breaking into the primeval forest full of demonic beasts, and fighting against the dragon clan, His Highness can endure so many difficult tribulations one by one, and there is nothing that can be done in the future. General Finger sighed.

"It's a pity that none of the brothers who broke through together that day can not come back now. Thinking of his colleagues who were born and died, Andilo was a little sad.

"Don't worry. I have buried the remains of the warriors, and they all sleep peacefully in a beautiful wooded area of the Rocal Empire. Wait......" The prince's face changed suddenly, and he finally sensed that something was wrong, and stood up with a "boom" and asked in a deep voice, "General, how did you know those things?"

"That's what your friend told me. General Finger replied truthfully.

"Friends?"

"Yes. It's the friend you made in the Rocard Empire. We also knew from him that you were safe and sound, and then we let go to take this fortress. ”

"Who the hell is the friend I made in the Rocal Empire?"

"He doesn't want to reveal his real name, but he calls himself a 'friend of the river'. ”

"Friends of the River?!"

Hearing this name, the prince shuddered, and he had an ominous premonition.

"Of course I won't believe him at first, but he came to my army with the head of an enemy general in his hand, and I can conclude that he is not a spy of the kingdom of Medin. Coupled with the fact that he behaved exactly like a knight, I took it upon myself to keep him. The general said, "Judging from His Highness's reaction just now, you really know this person." ”

"Speaking of the battles these days, he has also been very helpful. Andilo added.

"Where is he? Take me to this man!"

Prince Harun couldn't stay any longer, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart.

......

Ten minutes later, led by General Finger and the knights of Andillo, Prince Harun reached the top of the fortress's battlements.

In the fierce sea breeze, I saw a man in the armor of a paladin standing against the wind, not moving, looking at the sea in the distance. Although he couldn't see the man's face clearly, the back definitely belonged to someone that Prince Harlan remembered that he was very familiar with.

"Hey!"

The prince shouted at the man.

Hearing someone shouting behind him, the knight slowly turned around.

Sure enough, Prince Harun's worst fears came true.

"Julian Rousseau!" the prince felt only gnashing of teeth.
