"The eldest son of the Langton family, Michelle Langton, accepts your challenge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Michelle bent down and picked up the white silk gloves on the ground, which was considered to accept the duel.

"I haven't asked yet... Miss's surname is a big name. ”

Speaking of the word Miss, Michelle subconsciously glanced at Anthrite's dress, slightly hesitant.

Anthrite turned to the side and flashed the family crest on her shoulder. A white-feathered seagull surrounded by thorns comes to life.

"The second daughter of the Pelos family, Anthra Pelos. ”

The whole ballroom was already completely boiling.

The son of the Langton family and the young lady of the Pyros family are about to start a life-and-death duel here. It is believed that this news will undoubtedly occupy the headlines of tomorrow's Oude Morning Post.

"What are we better than, Miss Pylos?"

Michelle sees Anthrite as a woman, and the blood of a gentleman drives him to leave the decision to the other party.

"Superfluous questions. A duel of life and death, of course, should be based on the traditions of the nobility. ”

The so-called aristocratic tradition is, of course, swordsmanship. In recent years, gun duels have been the mainstream. However, it was not an elegant act in the eyes of the aristocracy, and the kind of duel was often quick and quick, and it had a hint of cunning.

In the inherent concept of the aristocracy, only the bloody battle of the sword can reflect their bravery and glory.

A real man should fight with a sword.

Although Anthracene is a woman.

One woman chose the most traditional way of dueling, which made the guests present admire. But they only thought that this strange young lady from Pelos was probably going to be unlucky.

There is no other reason, on swordsmanship. The Langton family's swordsmanship is unrivaled in Oude. Even the ancient royal family is a big step away from them.

Among them, this young master Michelle is the strongest person who has won the Oude Youth Sword Fighting Competition in recent years. He is also the most powerful reserve candidate for the Knights of the Round Table.

As a woman, Anthra challenges Langton, a master of swordsmanship. It's like a tiny sardine trying to swim against a swift swordfish.

"Of course, I know the traditions of the nobility, but do you really want to compete in swordsmanship?"

Michelle reaffirmed, and his subtext was, of course, "Don't you know my reputation in Ode?"

But he immediately got an affirmative reply from Anthracene who didn't care.

"It's like swordsmanship!"

"Okay, but in order not to destroy the property of the Wang family, let's go to a spacious place. ”

Anthrite nodded in agreement.

The two walked out of the hall looking at each other, everyone following closely behind.

"Sir, I'm sure you've heard we're going to duel, so please borrow your sword. ”

Michelle said to the guards standing guard on the side of the door.

So a sword was handed into his hand.

Anthrite also received weapons from the guards on the opposite side.

The borrowing of weapons was a real frustration, as the guests who came to the ball were not allowed to bring any weapons into the venue.

The crowd poured along with the two duelists.

The ballroom was quiet again.

When everyone was gone, the guard who had lent Michelle a weapon just now stepped forward and followed.

"Where are you going? man. ”

A hand slapped the guard on the shoulder, causing him to freeze violently. Looking back, he saw Eric's smile.

The guard was annoyed, "It's nerve-wracking, how did you recognize me?"

A familiar voice sounded, and it turned out to be Yusis.

Eric raised an eyebrow: "Your height, posture, and the shape of your palms have already been engraved in my mind, how could I not recognize you." Say, what do you want to do pretending to be a guard?"

"A detective is a detective, and his observation is beyond ordinary people. Jusis smiled heartily.

He continued: "What can I do, it's not to protect my two young masters. The damn ball can't bring minions in, and I'm so worried about them that I'm going to have to do it. If I pretend to be a guard and stand guard outside the main hall door, I will be able to react immediately to any danger inside. ”

"Actually, it's not hard to guess why you did this, but I want to know how you did it. ”

Eric touched his chin.

"It's simple. To tell you the truth, you've probably heard that I used to be the head of the Holy Capital Defense Army, and I know all the guards where they are assembled and when they change the guard, so it's no problem to steal a set of guards' clothes and take his place. ”

Jusis said, his face smug as he spoke.

"Don't try to fool me. Haven't these systems changed once in twenty years?" Erik questioned.

Jusis was caught by Eric and was embarrassed.

"Well, someone actually helped me. Look at the guard on the other side, he's my old subordinate. ”

Eric turned around and saw the guards on the other side nodding at him.

Didn't Jusis defect from Ode? There was even an old ministry to help his old boss who had left his job for twenty years. I'm afraid this can't be explained simply by the reason that people are good.

Eric also knew that it was inconvenient to get to the bottom of it at this time.

"Okay. But aren't you on a mission to protect them? Now Antdy is going to duel that guy named Michelle. You also handed the sword to the guy with your own hands. Are you going to do nothing?"

Faced with the little detective's question, Yusis smiled brightly. He put his arm around Eric's shoulder, "Why do you have to do something, you'll know what's going on in a minute." Let's go and enjoy the heroic posture of Anthrite!"

......

There is a clearing on the right side of the garden. The crowd is now surrounding the two in the center, ready to watch a good show.

The two men faced each other with their swords.

Papitt stood in the middle of them.

"Today, as a witness to the duel, I still have to give a word of advice. Although this is a life-and-death duel, please try not to hurt the other person's life. Don't let a personal conflict turn into a conflict between two families. ”

"Thanks for the advice, I'll be careful. Michelle said with a smile.

Anthrite said nothing about his brother's advice.

Papitt sighed. He just looked at Papitt in men's clothes with a complicated expression.

The attentive Eric saw that Papitt's words seemed to be said specifically to Anthrite. Because from the moment he spoke, his eyes never took off his eyes.

Jusis seemed to see Eric's thoughts: "Anthrite has never been an obedient child. Especially Papitt's words. ”

"Is Anthrite strong? Papitt seemed worried that she would kill that young master Langton. Eric asked.

He remembered the first time he saw Anthrite.

She was dressed in men's clothes. Waistcoats, cloaks, swords, breeches, military boots. And her wheat complexion. That means she spends a lot of time outdoors in the sun...... Practicing various martial arts outside?

It occurred to Eric that this occurred to him.

"Anthracene is strong. Especially swordsmanship. ”

Jusis replied.

"No wonder you wear men's clothes. Eric was relieved. He knew that for a woman who was proficient in swordsmanship, it was better to wield a long sword only in men's clothing.

"Yes, she never wears women's clothes because she is always wielding a sword. The skirt would have tripped her up. ”

However, how long does it take to hold the sword before you refuse to even go to the ball and put on a beautiful dress?

This is the woman of the Pelos family.

Eric felt sad for no apparent reason.

"By the way, I didn't tell you yet, Anthrite's swordsmanship was learned from Mr. Qiu, one of the six-pointed stars. ”
