The villagers were gathered in the square in the center of the village, where men, women and children of all ages came, and the village chief stood on a high place and said to the villagers below:

"As for the upcoming Sand Gnome attack, Lord Charles Manroe and Dye Qi will tell you all about it. ”

After saying that, he gave up his position to the two of them.

"I am the second son of the Shire family, Charles Manro, and the only remaining nobleman in the village, and I am obligated to explain to you what will happen in the village next. ”

He cleared his throat and continued.

"According to the informant's information, there is a large group of sand gnomes that will reach the village of Boshka in a week, and the sand gnomes... I'm sure everyone already understands it. ”

The villagers in the audience were talking, after all, everything has been related to the sand dwarf recently.

"But this attack may no longer be a simple invasion. ”

Dye Qi also spoke.

"Because the outpost has been terminated, this time the sand gnomes are likely to fight a revenge war, which will be more violent and bloody. ”

His words silenced everyone.

"Therefore, I declare once again that if there are people who want to leave here, please prepare to go as soon as possible. ”

Originally, these villagers should have been considered the property of the Charles family, but in the face of life and death, Manro gave them the right to choose their own life and death.

"No one?"

Dye Qi looked around, and no one left the square, which made him feel moved.

"Thank you for your trust, I am very honored. ”

Even as a nobleman, Manro has not forgotten the humility and glory of being a knight.

"Well, I announce my next decision. Forcing everyone between the ages of ten and fifty to practice martial arts!"

After this decision was issued, the villagers immediately exploded. It's impossible to ask for something or something, and everyone seems to want to fight the sand gnomes.

Maybe it's because of the two people I rescued before.

"Those who have experience in swordsmanship or other weapons should gather here, and those who don't have it should gather at Dyeqi. ”

Under Manro's command, the crowd quickly split into two parts, on one side were the village guards with experience in martial arts, and on the other side were children and craftsmen with no experience.

There is only one exception.

"Do you have to learn from you?"

The one who spoke was Satters.

"Do you have a better way?"

Although Manro said something that didn't hurt or itch, he didn't budge in his tone.

"I'm here on my own, I don't need you. ”

Satters still remembers the humiliation of being defeated by the two, and he is not willing to give in to them.

"You!"

"Let him go. ”

Dye Qi stopped Manro, who was about to go down to reason.

"Even if you go, he won't change his mind. ”

He knew that Satters was that kind of person, and as long as he decided it, he wouldn't change. Although there are some flaws in the human being.

The two of them no longer bothered with Satters, and their priority was to teach the villagers some skills in using weapons, even if it was just a move.

Satters returns to the orphanage, only to find that everyone has gone to Dye Qi because he can now overcome himself.

"What bullshit!"

He lay on his bed, but he was still distraught.

"Damn it!"

He threw his pillow out.

"It's better to practice more here. ”

At that moment, a voice rang out in the doorway, and Salts looked up and saw Riel standing there.

"What, it's you. ”

"Long time no see?"

"Probably. ”

Although Satters does not have a good relationship with Dyeqi, it does not mean that he will be angry with Riel. Moreover, the relationship between the two is not so unharmonious.

"So, why not go and practice with them. ”

"It has nothing to do with you. ”

"But we all live here, and it's best to have more power. ”

"Don't you know me, they just drag me back. ”

"Is that so?"

Riel stood up with a smile.

"Let's have a fight. ”

He said to Salters.

"Ha, are you stupid?"

Satters was surprised that Rare hadn't won a single time in the orphanage.

"Don't you dare. ”

"The agitation method didn't work for me, I have suffered losses before. ”

"I see, this is who you are now. I understand. ”

Riel no longer intends to pester him, there are more important things to do for him.

"Still,"

He turned around and gave his final piece of advice.

"Now you can't beat me, let alone them. ”

"What did you say!"

Satters walked over angrily.

"I can't beat them, just kidding, as long as I give it my all..."

"Even so, you will still lose. ”

Riel said, staring at Satters.

"I said, you can't even win against me, now your words. ”

"Fart!"

Satters drew his sword and roared.

"Let's go, I'll tell you what it means to be strong now!"

The two walked out of the orphanage and came to the front yard. Riel also drew his sword at this time, it was the spare sword of the Charles family, exactly the same as the sword before Dyeqi.

"How do you feel when you see this?"

Riel deliberately flaunted his sword.

"It's just a spare item!"

Satters rushed straight out as he spoke, intending to end the fight as soon as possible and get rid of the annoying guy. But a sword slashed out, but it was dodged by Riel.

"How so!"

At that moment, Satters thought that he was fighting against Dye Qi.

Riel seized the gap, and he immediately stabbed with his sword, but by this time Satters had already reacted.

"It's a stabbing ... Or..."

Satyr was unable to take Riele's attack, and it was at this point that the stab of the sword reached Satyrs's shoulder armor, leaving a scratch on it.

"As I said, you can't win. ”

Riel is ready for a second round of offensive from Sartres.

"How could I lose to you!

At the start of the second offensive, Satters' strength increased, and a horizontal slash sliced a trace of Rare's clothes off, but he still dodged it.

The action of slashing from the bottom up, Satters saw it, so he immediately raised his sword to defend. But what he didn't expect was that it was a fist that knocked him out.

"Why... That's going to happen. ”

This level of attack was originally able to be taken by myself, so why can't it be now? Satters froze.

"You care too much about my movements, don't you. ”

Rare walked up to him and said slowly.

"Because you care too much about them and want to win over them, you can suppress your original skills and force yourself to become like them, you are really stupid. ”

"What did you say?"

"Isn't it, you're the only one sulking. ”

"You know what!"

Satters stood up and grabbed Riel by the collar.

"My glory, my pride! are those two people, they took everything from me, everything from me. ”

"So, you just want to rot like this, don't you?"

Riel stared at Satters, no fear in his eyes.

"I tried, but it didn't work. ”

He let go of his hand and fell to his knees.

"I want to be stronger, I want to win!

He thumped his hands to the ground. With no resources and no connections, it is indeed not easy for him to become strong in this aristocratic world.

Ran Qi, whom he looked down on, was taken away by the nobles, and now he has also learned high-level swordsmanship. Manro was born an aristocracy, and high-level swordsmanship was simply a topic of conversation after dinner. But Satters, he has nothing.

He is jealous of those who are born with advantages and is afraid of those who are different from himself. Whether it's Manroe or Dyeqi, he just wants them to know that he can be better than them.

"Do you still want to win?"

Riel asked him.

"If you want to, can you win?"

"If you haven't given up yet, I might be able to help you. ”

As he spoke, he threw a copy of his mid-level swordsmanship to Satters. While the latter was shocked, Riel spoke again.

"If you don't want to lose, just show me. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"As I said, for the sake of the village, the more combat power the better. ”

Riel looked at Satters, wondering how the latter would react.

"I see, if you're willing to help me. ”

He took the swordsmanship.

"I have to thank you for giving me a chance to turn the tables around. ”

He held out his right hand, hoping that Riel would be able to hold it.

"To be honest, I don't have a crush on you. ”

Riel shook his hand and said.

"But you're just missing something, and it's not bad in nature. ”

"It's the first time anyone has said that about me. ”

"I'm speaking for someone else, too. ”

Riel let go of his hand.

"This swordsmanship and these words are all what Dye Qi asked me to tell you. ”

Satters was stunned, he didn't expect that Dye Qi to treat him like this, and he also gave him such a good swordsmanship.

"Why would he do that?"

But Sarters can't fully trust him yet.

"He can give everything he has for this village, and in his opinion, this is his home, even if it is a disgusting person, it is also his family. ”

Riel spoke his mind.

"Don't you even think of this place as your home?"

He turned to leave, the rest of the practice was about to begin, and Riel didn't want to be late.

"What's the matter? What are you doing standing there? ”

At this time, Asilio walked out, he did not attend the assembly of the center, because he was going to leave the place in the first place. He had wanted Satters to help him pack his bags, but the latter had the fool to go to the rally.

"Hurry up and get my things ready, and what is this?"

He snatched the sword book from Satters' hand, and his eyes lit up.

"Intermediate swordsmanship, at least worth a hundred gold coins, I'm developed!"

"That, Dean. ”

Saraza took Asirio's corner.

"At least when I'm done practicing, can I sell it? ”

“...”

Asilio stared at him for a moment, although it made his heart ache a little that he couldn't sell this thing immediately, but if Saters learned, he would be able to gamble in the gladiatorial arena in the future, which was a steady source of wealth.

"Well, whatever you want. ”

He casually threw the sword book to the ground.
