Xenia glanced at Xu Mu and the three of them deeply, turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered something: "Deputy, if Xu Mu doesn't want to learn aristocratic etiquette, then let him go." Anyway, if he dares to disgrace me in the future, I will knock out his teeth. ”

Seeing that Xu Mu was so favored, the deputy couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly saluted in response: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Xenia left, the atmosphere in the side hall eased a lot, although Xu Mu didn't feel anything special.

Sleta smiled and pulled Ailu's hand: "Sister Ailu, it seems that Her Majesty the Queen is quite kind." ”

Ai Lu smiled and shook his head: "That's because you value your brother, otherwise how can there be such a good thing." ”

"My brother is already powerful, shouldn't he be used by Her Majesty the Queen!" Sleta laughed so hard that her teeth were exposed, but she reacted, and quickly covered her mouth and didn't dare to laugh anymore, a noble woman can't laugh out her teeth! Fortunately, Queen Heaney is not here, otherwise she will embarrass her brother.

Xu Mu spread his hands and said a few words to Ai Lu and Sleta, and then he left the side hall, mainly because he really didn't like this 'useless' aristocratic etiquette very much.

Xu Mu is a pragmatist, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will do it.

But if you encounter an enemy in the future, will it be difficult to salute the other side with aristocratic etiquette, and then the enemy will spare you? What are you kidding?

However, if you ask Xu Mu, whether aristocratic etiquette is important, then he will still answer that it is important.

After all, etiquette is the face of the upper echelons of a kingdom, and it is also the spiritual and cultural level of the kingdom.

But anyway, Xu Mu didn't want to learn this thing, and I believe that Xenia doesn't value how good his etiquette can be, as long as his other abilities are strong enough, I believe it won't matter.

Although it was noon and the sun was high, the cold wind was not small, and some people with thin clothes shivered.

This also caused no one to be in the capital's arena, but there was a gray-haired girl in the corner of the arena, she was wearing half-style armor and a long sword hanging from her waist, looking imposing.

Beres sighed, she had finally received a rare task today, which was to train a new noble swordsman.

This work can be regarded as a good job, with more money and less trouble.

After all, working for the royal family, money does not treat people badly, and less is basically an unspoken rule among people like them.

Because in the eyes of the aristocracy, magic is everything, and swordsmanship, which is not in the stream, few nobles care, and the basic arrangement of swordsmanship training may not necessarily come to be trained.

Beres only needs to come to the arena for a day to stay in peace, and even if the nobles who want to be trained don't come, she can still receive today's money.

But she wasn't particularly happy, she didn't have to do such a thing.

Beres was also a former knight of the Royal Knights, but from the previous king.

After the death of the king, the Royal Knights were disbanded and reorganized.

Usually there are some excellent knights in the original knights, and the new king will leave a few as reserve knights.

But Xenia seemed to be taboo about something, and all the knights of the original royal knights were sent home without leaving any of them.

Bereth's family is not very superior in the capital, and it can even be said that the entire family still lives on her modest knightly salary.

And after she was dismissed a year ago, she also became a real unemployed vagrant.

Every day, Beres has to go to the Capital Guild to see what commissioned tasks she can do, and earn some money to supplement the family's expenses.

However, this is very different from the benefits obtained from being a knight before, which also leads to the decline of the family, and Beres is very anxious.

But being in a hurry doesn't mean she can have a solution...

Usually knights like her, who are not nobles, either go to serve as retinues of other nobles or go to the guild to become a professional hunter.

Beres prefers the former, after all, the salary and treatment are stable, there are fewer dangers, and the family is less worried.

And it's not impossible to go to the guild to be a professional hunter, if you find a good hunter team, the safety factor of doing commissions is also very high, and even some commissions are not less money than being followers... But the main problem is that death and injury are inevitable when going out on a mission, especially since she is just a swordsman, and she has a unique understanding of swordsmanship, but this is the most accident-prone person for the commission.

If something really happens, what should the family do...

It's not that Beres can't do magic, it's that her magic ability is worse than that of other knights, and she takes too long to cast magic, and her damage is not as good as that of a real magician.

Bereth used to rely on written exams and hard work in the Academy of Magic, so she could come back from the Academy of Magic, and then King Heaney let her join the knights because he saw her as a sincere and hard-working person, and she was a little outstanding in swordsmanship.

However, now that she is no longer a knight, she also wants to be an attendant of a nobleman, but her skills are not as good as those of few nobles.

If her other abilities were better, it is estimated that many nobles would be willing to let her stay.

It's a pity that Berex is only quite confident in her own swordsmanship, and the others are...

Thinking of this, Beres sighed again, in fact, she didn't have to be so early today, the swordsmanship training was scheduled in the afternoon, but she didn't dare to step on it, it was better to come early, otherwise if the nobleman who was going to be trained suddenly had cerebral palsy, what should she do if she wasn't angry.

If that nobleman was angry and wanted to cut off her head, she wouldn't have a problem...

It's not easy to make money, anyway, it's good to blow the wind early.

Beres held the hilt of her unsheathed sword in one hand, and she subconsciously pulled it out to look at the saber, the blade was so sharp that it reflected in the sunlight.

This two-handed sword has been with her for many years, and Beres is a little embarrassed.

Beres took a stance, her hands clenched into her two-handed sword, her body slightly bent, the blade facing downward.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and stabbed his sword, and the wind startled.

The two-handed sword stabbing did not stop, and suddenly Beres turned back, and the blade of the sword was retracted towards the upward barb, and a beautiful silver arc of light was formed in the air, which was very beautiful.

Beres made a sword move, but before she could put away her sword, she suddenly remembered the applause.

She turned her head to see that it was a man in a short robe and hood, with Ling Ran eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, walking towards her with applause.

"I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see such beautiful swordsmanship in this world. ”

Seeing that although the clothes Xu Mu was wearing were not very shabby, they were definitely not noble, Beres frowned, and subconsciously disliked it in her heart: "Good-looking?"

"Don't you think it's pretty? It's not easy for that arc of light to be so smooth from stabbing to flashing. ”

Beres also became interested in Xu Mu: "You also learned swordsmanship?"

"I haven't studied. Xu Mu looked at the girl in front of him, who looked about the same age as him, but what caught his eye was the girl's gray hair, which was gently tied up with a tie, and looked extremely beautiful: "But I used to practice swords by myself every day." ”

The dislike in Bereth's heart dissipated, she rarely met people who also liked swordsmanship, most of the strong hunters in the guild preferred axes or hammers with great destructive power, and there were not many who used swords, she smiled lightly and asked, "How can you practice swords?"

"Actually, I don't talk about practicing, but every day, I use my sword to slash hundreds of times, and then stab my sword hundreds of times. ”

"Oh, don't you find it boring?"

"What's this. Xu Mu shook his head, "The sword is a weapon for killing, I don't practice swords for the sake of looking good, I practice slashing and stabbing swords diligently, just for self-preservation." After all, sword skills are a killing skill. ”

Beres felt very happy to meet someone in the same way, and she also thought that the sword skill itself was a killing skill, but the people in this world had mixed opinions on sword skills, and they didn't think much of it anyway, but when it came to this, she was strange: "Then you just praised my sword skills for being good-looking." ”

"Ha! Who said that killing skills can't be good-looking, good-looking is good-looking, what can't be said. ”

Beres smiled softly, withdrew her two-handed sword from its scabbard, walked up to Xu Mu and took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "My name is Beres, and I used to be a member of the royal knights. Of course, I'm not that anymore. ”

Xu Mu blinked his eyes, he looked at Beres seriously, and then stretched out his hand to hold the hand that had been calloused by practicing swords, but it didn't hit anyone, but his hand was very soft.

"Xu Mu, captain of the Royal Knights. ”

The smile on Belex's lips suddenly froze, she was stunned for a while, as if her head was dealing with something, and then quickly knelt down on one knee: "I'm really sorry, Bereth is rude! I don't know if you're here..."

Xu Mu guessed that this would be the result, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and hurriedly asked Beres to get up: "It's okay, you don't have to be so restrained, you are not a knight of the knights now, and I can't control you." ”

Is this not the business of the knights, since Xu Mu is the captain of the knights, he must be a nobleman...

Beres felt remorse for what she had just done, after all, she actually took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Xu Mu... This is disrespectful in the eyes of the aristocracy.

And the name of the nobleman she received today is Xu Mu.

It's really unlucky, if Xu Mu and others say that she is not good, today's money and follow-up tasks will be wasted!

"No, it's Bereth's fault for not recognizing you in time. Beres apologizes for her mistakes and rudeness..."

Xu Mu shook his head, obviously he just felt that he was getting along well with this gray-haired girl, but he didn't expect that after knowing his name and position, he was immediately shocked by the aura of Wang Ba on his body, and he didn't want to.

"Alright, get up. Today I just came to look for my trainer, but I came early, and it seems that my trainer hasn't come yet. Xu Mu forcibly pulled Bereth, not wanting her to do this.

Beres was a little scared and said, "Lord Xu Mu... Your sword trainer this afternoon is none other than Bereth. ”

Beres looked up at Xu Mu's expression carefully, afraid that his face was wrong, or afraid that Xu Mu would be angry and disgusted with him, but he didn't.

"Oh?" Xu Mu looked happy, he didn't expect that his swordsmanship trainer would officially see the gray-haired girl in front of him, especially when he had just seen Beres's hand, and thought that Bereth's swordsmanship was absolutely superb: "That's great!"

Beres was a little incredulous, it seemed that Xu Mu was really not angry, and she really didn't feel disgusted by her impolite behavior.
