The next day, under the guidance of Julia, the Count of Hohenstringen, who was visiting Foralburg for the first time, arrived at the residence of Makminus. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because of the relationship that Meier had already reported to his master yesterday, the little prince had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Sister Julia, why didn't Big Brother Meier come?"

"Oh, my brother is going to prepare for the martial arts tournament that will start soon, and this time he wants to perform well!"

"Well, I'll definitely be there to cheer, hehe!"

In the parlor, where Meyer had been on two occasions, Salian and Macminus had a cordial conversation, along with Miss Lorena Iss Schöneke and Baron Manstel von Barenberg, and it was also a good opportunity for them to make friends with Macminus.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Count of the Frontier, for the Hohenstlingen family is an important pillar of the Empire, and my father has often praised your chivalry. ”

"Haha, don't dare to be, my family is just a dutiful state civil servant, and the Rokenhausen family is a royal family, and you are the embodiment of the will of the state. ”

After several people teasing each other, Salian took out the gift they had brought, the mysterious sword box, on behalf of everyone.

"Your Excellency the Earl of the Frontier, what is this?"

"I've heard Meier say that you're a connoisseur of weapons at a young age, and I've got a little thing I've recently made for you to comment on. ”

"Oh, my father and I like the things of the Hohenstlingen family, but when it comes to appreciating them, I'm nowhere near as good as my father!"

Salian could see that young Max was looking forward to it, and he was right.

Immediately after that, Salian slowly opened the box, and not only Makminus, but also Yulia, Manstel and Lorana Ise watched intently, and they were full of anticipation for the treasure that Salian had hidden so far.

I saw that he took out a beautifully decorated, but not very eye-catching weapon from the box, you must know that all the people present are well-informed people, this long sword-like weapon did not cause a sensation from the beginning, but the real boutique may be so ordinary.

"Oh, my good friend Salian, I see that you have always liked to make strange weapons, this long sword is too ordinary, isn't it?!" asked the smiling nobleman a little strangely.

Yulia also said in a very small voice: "Brother, this doesn't seem to be special!"

"Wait, this doesn't seem to be a sword!" Miss Schönek, who was attentive, suddenly realized something.

"Lorana Ise, do you recognize him?" Salian asked his girlfriend with a smile.

"Let me think about it, although this weapon looks like a longsword at first glance, its counterweight is not on the center line, but to the side, and there is a third handguard attached to the grip, which is obviously not a sword!"

"I see, it's a straight knife!?" said Makminus, his eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Hehe, dear His Highness Max, please hold him and take a good look!"

With that, Salian handed the weapon in his hand to Makminus, and the young man immediately admired it greedily.

Salian explained to the group, "This is the narrow-bladed Messer I recently built, and you are the first people to see it other than the maker!"

Makminus listened to Salian's explanation as he took a closer look at the straight blade. The so-called Messer knife evolved from the ancient Tutonian tribal knife, although it is now very rare, but it is actually a traditional weapon that can be used with both hands.

This finely crafted, narrow-bladed Messer knife recently made by Salian has a blade 1.3 meters long and a total length of 1.6 meters. Except for the tip part of the blade, which has a 20-centimeter two-sided blade, it is then single-sided until the hilt, and there is a blood groove near the back of the blade, the tip of the knife is slightly close to the back of the knife, and there is a ridge in the middle to strengthen the structure of the blade. The entire blade is painted with ornate patterns, all plated with gold, and the rest of the blade can be seen with a little starlight, because the material that makes the blade a piece of magic titanium is added, and through these ingenious craftsmanship, the narrow-bladed Messer knife is extremely powerful whether it is stabbed or slashed. The gauntlet is made up of three rare metals entwined together, and the simple grip has a hollowed-out center inlaid with a magic crystal, which is similar to the huge butterfly halberd that Salian gave to Anna, consisting of a magic crystal and a miniature magic energy extraction device built into the hilt, which can unleash a self-sustaining magic weapon without the user's own strength. The counterweight at the end is half-moon shaped, made of blue heavy-core crystal, and the whole is biased to the opposite side of the tip of the knife.

After a brief introduction, Salian pretended to be unaware and said to the already fascinated Maxinus: "Dear Maxinus, you must have a place to test weapons here, right? “

In the "Iron Shield" workshop in Constance, the blacksmith Remingle first made ten prototypes with different centers of gravity from ordinary metal according to Sallian's drawings, and then Salian selected the one with the best feel and made the current one out of materials containing magic titanium.

"Your Excellency the Earl of the Border District, this knife is already in my hand, and it must be very comfortable to wield!"

In the huge indoor training ground, Salian stood opposite Maxinus, while Manstel, Yulia, Lorana Es, and Master Oswald watched them. Oswald also wanted to see what was so special about the rumored work of weapons experts.

"Dear Max, you can use this sword with your normal longsword skills first. Salian held a common practice sword in his hand, and he wanted Maximinus to fall in love with it as he tried it out.

"No problem at all, I'm very comfortable using it!"

Then the young man used the weapon in his hand to attack Salian, but the difference in strength between the two was too great, and Salian just blocked and left Maxinus with no chance.

"Young Master, let me try this treasure knife, right?!"

Just when Sally was secretly anxious about his inwisdom (he didn't expect Max to be so bad), Master Oswald suddenly couldn't help but speak, and this martial idiot really saved Salian in time. At the same time, Salian had a new idea.

"Yes, master, I'm worried that the strength of the Earl of the Border District is too different to test the quality of the weapon!" Makminus said with a smile.

Just as Oswald was about to swap places with Makminus when he spoke.

"Haha, Master Oswald, I heard that you are the best master of battle axes, let me use this Messer knife to compete with you!"

"Oh, that's no better, the person who made him must know him best, and the Earl of the Frontier is extraordinary, and he can exert his power even more!" the master said this apparently because he had found a figure to rival him, but the matter was settled, and in the anticipation of the audience, a real contest began.

Now that he has been given this opportunity, Salian naturally wants to use the most intuitive method to let Maximinus see the power of the Messer knife.

Oswald did not use a training weapon, but directly carried his eagle-shaped double-sided axe into the field, which was better, and Salian also wanted to see how strong the Laplandians of this exotic northern kingdom were.

The battle between the two was fierce and unusually fierce from the start. Salian had no reservations at all, on the one hand, to show the power of the weapon, and on the other hand, to show himself, as "Meier" he knew that Makminus liked such martial arts masters.

Oswald with his axe in both hands was full of power, and he didn't seem to be worried about his physical strength at all, while Salian made the most of his many ideas. In attack, he sometimes slashes with the Itkanria sword, and sometimes strikes like a Castia sword fighter. In the defense, he either used the skills of the long-eared people, or used the moves of the Franços fencer, which was dizzying.

Not only Maxinus, but also Lolana Ease, who loves swordsmanship, was also fascinated by the sidelines, and Salian had not yet shown himself well in front of her, but this time she took the opportunity to fulfill her wish.

"Hehe, Earl of the Borderlands, today is an eye-opener for me!, but in the face of my absolute power, no amount of moves is useless!" Oswald shouted at the rise and threw himself at Salian frantically.

Salian did not dare to slack off, he put on a very chic posture, his upper body was straight, his right foot was in front, his left foot was slightly bent, his right hand held the knife high above his head, his fingers pressed the handle of the knife hard, the tip of the knife pointed backwards to his left knee, and his left hand was across his chest. This is the "Guardian Pose", an important defensive stance in the Long-Eared martial arts, and it is a technique that can quickly launch a counterattack when on defense.

The powerful attack of the eagle-shaped double-sided axe was easily picked up by Salian, and at the same time, he immediately stepped back and took Oswald's arm holding the axe. The strength of this visitor from the north is indeed extraordinary, and the giant axe flipped over to block the tip of the knife.

"It's really enjoyable, Earl of the Border District, I really underestimate you, and I'll let you try this trick next!"

"It's okay, master, the Earl of the border district is a distinguished guest, don't be unreasonable!"

"Ah...... Yes, young master. ”

Seeing that the situation might get out of hand, Maximinus immediately interrupted Oswald's action, as he noticed that the Laplanders had a bloodthirsty red in their eyes, and it was not a good idea to let them go berserk.

In this way, the battle was over, no one was injured, and everyone who watched the battle breathed a sigh of relief, but the wonderful process still made the son of the Grand Duke excited.

"Your Excellency the Earl of the Border District, the defensive counterattack just now is too beautiful, can you teach me?"

"Hehe, of course no problem, this is a move invented by the long-eared people on Sanwang Island, called the 'Guardian Style', and there is a kind of deformation 'Pseudo-Guardian Style' that does not have to be raised above the top with the right hand, the core of the Long-Eared Clan's martial arts is defense, and their defensive skills are really good. ”

Salian then handed the knife to Makminus and put him up in practice, correcting his mistakes.

Lorana Ise watched Salian's performance and knew that he had gained the trust of the future emperor and that the plan was well underway.

Sure enough, Salian took advantage of the excitement of Markminus to propose the idea of meeting his father, and the little prince readily agreed to introduce him. Today's purpose is all achieved.

On the way back, Salian spoke to Manstel.

"Baron, I'll wait for the glory here!"

"I understand, I also prepared a lot of gifts for the Grand Duke, but you are still smart and started to win over the next generation so early, hehe!"

"Of course, I have a hunch that I will be the emperor of four generations!"

"Haha, that's a great wish!"

Now that she has a lofty goal, for the sake of the continuation of the family, she will inevitably have to bother Yulia and Lorana Ise again at night, and Miss Schönek herself is still burdened with the burden of giving birth to a city lord!
