"That's a ...... Why didn't the lovely young lady come to me? Am I really old?"

Mr. Harris let out a long sigh with a complicated expression.

In fact, in his opinion, the last sentence Ian said was "ambiguous". Seeing that he could no longer see the backs of the two leaving, the middle-aged gentleman looked "sad", pursed his lips unwillingly, and complained in a sour tone for a while.

And just when he was "feeling sorry for himself", a chuckle of "fluttering" suddenly sounded behind him.

"Don't Mr. Harris think I'm not cute enough?"

"Huh?"

The middle-aged man was slightly startled by the unexpected voice, and he turned around to find a crimson young lady standing behind him. That naughty appearance doesn't look like a lady in her twenties, but like a teenage girl.

"Miss Olivia!"

This discovery made the middle-aged man, who had just been depressed, suddenly burst into a bright smile. If it weren't for the fact that there were two fierce guards standing behind this lovely lady, who were five big and three thick and had unkind faces, this "bad-hearted" middle-aged gentleman would almost have to get down on one knee and take the opportunity to kiss each other's little hands.

"It's such an honor that you remember me as a small being. I knew that you must be a kind young lady, and you must have felt my indescribable loneliness and loneliness, so you came to me from heaven and soothed my wounded heart with your warmth like the sun......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the most exaggerated and continuous words swarmed out, as if he wanted to make the lady in front of him dizzy. In fact, of course, he knew who the other party was coming for, but if he directly picked it out, wouldn't he be too much of a failure as a gentleman?

It's a pity that his defeat has long been doomed, Miss Olivia is not a little girl who does not know the world, how can she be moved by such pale and insincere rhetoric?

The shrewd businesswoman squinted her eyes and just stood there, smiling at his exaggerated performance, without replying a word. It wasn't until Mr. Harris was so dry and speechless that he took the time to catch his breath and "coincidentally" expressed his intentions.

"Mr. Harris, may I ask where Martina is now?"

"She hasn't come back to the carriage yet, so I think she's coming for you, right?"

She gave a very standard smile (see the waiter's smile) that made our Mr. Harris feel powerless. He was unwilling to "struggle" tenaciously for a moment, but after all, he still put up a white flag and had to confess.

"If you're asking Miss Knight and my junior apprentice, they went to the jungle for a 'tryst'. ”

"Tryst?"

The merchant lady was slightly stunned, and then reacted. After all, she grew up with Martina, so she naturally knew that for her best friend, the word "tryst" could be translated as "duel......

"Hmm......"

Such a discovery made her feel a little headache. After rubbing his temples, he reluctantly accepted this reality. Then, she squeezed out an embarrassed smile and asked the middle-aged gentleman in front of her, "Mr. Harris, would you like to go to a sword fight with me?"

"Of course!"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up suddenly. How could a man who claimed to be a gentleman refuse an invitation from a lady? Moreover, if he had no interest in such a sword fight, it would be false. Although he can see everything through the eyes of the jungle, there is still a difference between "camera" and real life after all.

In fact, he had already been ready to follow quietly, but he was just waiting for a companion to appear here......

Now that the lady who is traveling with him has arrived, then it is natural for him to set off.

......

Through the countless pairs of eyes in the jungle, the location of Ian and the others certainly couldn't be hidden from Harris. He led Miss Merchant and her two guards all the way forward as if they were walking in the back garden, and before he had gone far, the sound of two swords clashing was heard in front of him.

"That's ......"

Hearing such a sound, the merchant lady knew that she had missed the "foreplay", and hurriedly quickened her pace, lifted her skirt, and trotted all the way in the direction from which the sound came.

She knew very well the strength of her best friend, and knew that even in the Eastern Regions, she could only compete with Martina in martial arts. Although she had claimed that the young man was extremely skilled in swordsmanship, she was still worried that Miss Knight would accidentally hurt the other party.

However, as she hurried to the edge of the battle, she was surprised to find that the sword fight was not what she had expected.

In the dim light, on a flat ground surrounded by black pines, two skilled swordsmen were performing a wonderful duel. Their swordsmanship looks very similar on the surface, but they are just some mediocre basic moves. However, it was such an ordinary swordsmanship, but in the hands of these two, it suddenly became extremely sophisticated, showing a completely different splendor. Between the offense and the defense, it seems to be integrated with some transcendent power.

One is called "integrity" and the other is called "equilibrium".

Olivia didn't know how to do swordsmanship, she just instinctively felt that both sides of the battle were extremely skilled swordsmen, and these two swordsmen seemed to be in a close position at the moment.

But how is this possible?

Martina was the chief knight of the Red Lotus Temple, a young man who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and how could she be equal in terms of combat skills?

Even if she knew that he was a person valued by His Majesty the Pope, even if she knew that he had a temperament similar to "Crimson", she had always only felt that maybe one day in the future, this young man would become a pivotal existence. I can't imagine that the other party has already achieved such an achievement.

Suddenly, Olivia's mouth widened slightly, completely forgetting to care about her ladylike image. It's just that compared to this businessman's lady, in fact, the amazement in the heart of a middle-aged gentleman is even higher than her.

Others may not know, but how can he not know, although Ian still looks immature, but this kid is a real sword master! In the past year, he has long been very clear about what kind of strength Ian has, how can he not see it, just in terms of swordsmanship, Ian has already used all his strength.

This really made Harris raise an eyebrow, and he felt that the situation was a little out of control.

Because as far as he knew, even if it was just a sword fight, in this world, there were only a few people who could compete with Ian, and he would have thought that he would easily meet one here.

Could it be that this young lady is also a sword master?

At this moment, Miss Merchant and the middle-aged gentleman glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep sense of wonder in each other's eyes...... (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
