Early in the morning, Selinda, dressed in leather armor and holding a long sword, walked into the martial arts arena outside the castle.

It is said to be a martial arts arena, but in fact it is more like a clearing on the edge of the forest, with several wooden stakes and arrow targets erected in the field, and a simple wooden fence on the periphery to prevent outsiders from entering by mistake.

To her surprise, strange slogans have sounded in the always deserted martial arts arena. Nearly twenty soldiers brought by Xiao Chen were lining up under this slogan, doing some stop-and-go movements.

Although Selinda had gotten along with Xiao Chen and his party all the way, she had never really seen the training of these fighters. In her opinion, the knight's battle was more a manifestation of personal martial arts, and the parade was the work of a low-ranking soldier. These weak guys have to stand shoulder to shoulder to muster a little bit of courage. As for the way to get them lined up, it's also very simple, just use a whip. However, such a team is almost ineffective against powerful warriors or mages, and both an outburst of vindictive spirit and an attack of magic can cause them to collapse quickly.

However, this team from Montenegro was very strange, a few people who obviously showed the aura of a strong man in their gestures actually lined up with some ordinary soldiers, turning left for a while, turning right for a while, doing a lot of actions that were completely useless in battle.

Even if they are strong, do they have to obey the command of the order? will this make them more powerful on the battlefield? Selinda wasn't sure, but she at least understood one thing: these people must be very willing to obey Xiao Chen's words, and they will be willingly at the mercy of someone in a clearing.

Next to these men, there was a girl with a silver-white spear in her hand, who was practicing marksmanship alone. The white spear was very simple in style, like a white dragon in the girl's hand, deftly and quickly shuttling through the air.

Selinda looked at it carefully for a while, and found that the idea of this set of marksmanship was very ingenious, but it was very different from the marksmanship that was circulated in the kingdom.

When the girl finished practicing a routine, Selinda stepped forward and said, "I haven't seen you, good skills." ”

"Ye Zi. But I know you, Sir Selinda. You and Li Jia are very close, and I saw you together several times when I was on duty at Black Mountain Castle. Ye Zi put the spear on the ground, took a towel from the fence on the side, and wiped his sweat.

Selinda smiled and said, "That's really because I don't have eyes, I didn't find such a master near me." Last time, I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't have time to meet you strong people one by one. It's good luck to meet it again now. ”

"I'm not a strong person, and my fighting spirit hasn't been stimulated for long. Ye Zi said honestly.

"The average adventurer will always boast of his strength, and it is better to scare the enemy away with his tongue. Or at least they will be secretive, and they don't want to expose their strength, and there are many people like you who are so direct. Selinda leaned against the fence and gently rubbed her hand against the hilt of her sword.

"I'm not a risk-taker, and I don't need to lie to you, I don't like that. I only have a little bit of vindictiveness, and saying a hundred words won't make it any more. Ye Zi continued to hang the towel on the fence, also leaning against the fence, looking at Selinda generously.

Selinda laughed, under the light of the morning light, this smile was dyed gold, she suddenly admired the girl in front of her, and talked to her, it seemed that she didn't need any extra scheming, "A little fighting spirit is enough to open the gap between a person and an ordinary warrior." I couldn't do that, so I had to use some simple magic to help me fight. You are already on the right path at such a young age. Not easy. ”

"The right path?" Ye Zi and Ji Yijun's fighting spirit was both evolved from their own internal kung fu on the earth, and in fact, they didn't have a clear understanding of the power of this world, and now that someone is willing to talk about it, she naturally listens carefully.

"Don't you know? Only by exercising the power of magic or fighting spirit to the extreme can you embark on the road to the Sanctuary. Other side doors, like me, don't have this kind of opportunity. I am not gifted enough for magic to pursue the path of magic. ”

"What is the Sanctuary?" Ye Zi couldn't help asking.

Sure enough, she didn't understand anything, Selinda thought to herself, it seemed that the Black Mountain Castle was very weak in the inheritance of Douqi, she pondered it for a moment and said: "The Holy Domain is the highest level that mortals can reach, and breaking through the Holy Domain is the realm of the gods." Take you as an example, at present, your Dou Qi has just been generated, and when you cross the three stages of Dou Qi all over your body, Dou Qi gathering and Dou Qi leaving your body, you will be qualified to touch the threshold of the Sanctuary. ”

"With a little bit of fighting energy, I already feel that I am much stronger, if I reach the realm of the Holy Domain......"

"It will be very powerful, and a hundred of you will not be an opponent of a Sacred Domain powerhouse, but to reach that step, the difficulty is unimaginable. As far as I know, there are not many human sanctuary powerhouses on the entire continent. Selinda said with some yearning.

"Who are they?"

"The kingdom has the Void Sage Sasso and the Thousand Swords Saint Benegas, the empire has Silent Praise Morales and the glacier walker Celia, the southern city-states have the Assassin of Light Kirus, the northern desert has the wolf king Green Fang and the lion king Silvermane, and the four highest-ranking Golden Branch priests in the nature temple, as for secretly, there may be a few more in the ancient god believers who are ready to move, the secret guardians of the major forces, and the mage tower that is escaping from the world. ”

"How do you get that strong?"

Selinda burst out laughing, she now liked this simple girl more and more, "Fight, keep fighting and comprehending, maybe one day you will reach the other side." ”

So, she drew her sword.

And Ye Zi also raised the gun in his hand.

—————————————————————

Selinda walked in the cloister of the castle, her right hand hanging above her left forearm, silently chanting a spell in her mouth. Under the faint green light emitted from the palm of his right hand, a bloody wound more than ten centimeters long could be seen on his left arm.

In the battle just now, although she narrowly defeated the other party with her rich experience, Ye Zi's spear still left a wound on her body.

But she fought very hard, Ye Zi is a very pure person, and the feeling of competing with her is just as pure, that is, constantly fighting, fighting, and knocking the other party down with all feasible methods.

By the time Selinda reached the door of her room, the wound had begun to clotte and the bleeding had stopped. She pushed the door open, but stopped. For by the windowsill of her room stood a man she hated very much.

"Dear little Selinda, I just watched that competition from here, and you still have a lot to learn. Count Carlos said with a smile.

"Get out!" Selinda didn't seem to want to say anything to him.

"You're still so energetic, my child. The Count habitually ignored her attitude, "But, I came here today, I had something to discuss with you. If you're in a bad mood, we can wait for next time. ”

Selinda stood in the doorway without saying a word.

"Okay, okay. The Count shrugged and slowly moved towards the door. When he moved to the door, he suddenly sighed and said, "I don't know if Li Jia's kid is crying or laughing now?"

"Say!" Selinda shouted.

The corners of the earl's mouth curled, and he turned around, "I talked to Xiao Chen yesterday and am going to marry you to him." ”

Selinda's face sank, and she looked at the Count, as if to tell if it was a fact or a bad joke, "You want to dictate my marriage?"

"Isn't it the custom of the kingdom that fathers are responsible for the life of their daughters?" said the count, with an innocent look.

"No one else has anything to do with me. Our family doesn't talk about this, because you are you and I am me. Selinda said categorically.

"Xiao Chen is a very good candidate, with strong strength, strong background, and passable appearance. He is much more mature than Li Jia's kid. I know what you've been thinking about, haven't you always wanted to fight for your family? ”

"Whose idea was it to let Xiao Chen replace Li Jia, is it you, or that Xiao Chen?" Selinda's right hand stopped healing magic, and instead rested on the hilt of the sword.

"This kind of thing can only be negotiated if both parties are interested......

"You've made up your mind behind my back?" Selinda raised her head slightly, leaning towards her father with a look of contempt.

"Yes!" replied the Count.

With a thud, Selinda drew her sword, turned and walked out.

The Count was caught off guard, and he shouted after him, "Hey, hey, what are you doing here?"

"I don't like this deal of yours. So to cancel it. Selinda replied coldly.

"And what are you doing with a sword?"

"Cut Xiao Chen, and the transaction will naturally be canceled. ”

The Earl, who didn't know where he got the strength, suddenly rushed in front of Selinda and reached out to block her. Selinda unflinchingly pressed the tip of her sword to his nose.

"Okay, okay. You win. As if he had not seen the sword, the Count said with some laziness, "Well, you must know that negotiation is a temptation, and this is only one of the methods of temptation. Although we all think that marriage is a good idea, Xiao Chen still thinks that Li Jia is more suitable. He also promised me that he would let Li Jia improve his strength in a short period of time and become worthy of you. However, I think this shrewd guy must have seen through your essence, and underneath this beautiful appearance, there is a Tyrannosaurus heart. ”

"Oops!" the Count let out a cry of surprise as Selinda put her sword back into its sheath, and a shallow sword mark appeared on the tip of his nose. As soon as I wiped my hand, blood oozed out, "My face!"

"Heh, I hurt my hand in front of me, I made a mistake!" Selinda shook her hand, "but multiple scars on your face will make you look more like a man." ”

The Count looked at her with a look of resentment with a look on his left hand that you thought I didn't know you were hurting.

Selinda walked into the room on her own, slammed the door shut, and said nothing.
