After the low sound of the horn, it was announced that the martial arts had officially begun, and at this moment, the emotions of the people inside and outside the stadium were also quite high, and they cheered up and looked at the central square excitedly. Soon, two men in leather armor came up to the stage, but they did not do it immediately, but on the contrary, the two of them danced their long swords and practiced in the middle of the square. This is the part called martial arts, before the competition begins, first of all, let the warriors show their skills and strength in front of everyone, and seeing the performance of the two, the commoners are excited to cheer, and those nobles seize the time to make the final arrangements, take this opportunity, to make a good reputation, for the nobles, it is also a very important thing.

"There are more than a dozen nobles who will compete today. ”

At the same time as the two warriors performed, Juventus also sat next to Ofariel, and whispered to her about the situation of this martial arts, in fact, when the old patriarch entrusted him with carte blanche to negotiate the territory, Juventus became the contact between the Twilight Forest and the Bird family, and at this time Juventus also understood his position, and the surname was single, and he completely fell to the Twilight Forest. In his opinion, the other party has three high-level swordsmen, and there is also a member of the royal family, and he is currently occupying the twilight forest, so it is best not to offend nature. Taking a step back, if you can really get in touch with these people, then at least the Bird family is full of confidence when dealing with other big nobles, although it is a bit embarrassing to say that a big nobleman does this kind of flattering thing, but since the old patriarch doesn't care, then what kind of heart do you have? So after figuring this out, Juventus also completely put their minds at ease, and no longer thought about those troublesome issues when talking to O'Faryl, but it was a lot more worry-free, although for O'Faryl, this young man must not dare to have ideas, but being able to talk to a young and beautiful girl is always something that will make a man feel comfortable. Therefore, at present, Juventus is also sparing no effort when introducing the forces in the beginning. Besides, this martial arts ceremony is actually related to his own future, you must know that the performance of those two young ladies is related to the results of their negotiations. At present, almost all the important members of the Bird family in this square are present, and if they are allowed to see the strength of those two young ladies with their own eyes, then even if the results of the negotiation are spread later, they will be easy to accept. Otherwise, even if there is no problem on the outside, if there is a mess on the inside, it will be a headache.

"Will they all send someone down?"

Hearing Juventus' introduction, Ofariel reacted quickly.

"Basically, it will be, but it is said that there are more than a dozen nobles, but there are no more than two or three big factions that come and go, among which the patriarch is a faction, and those foreign subordinate nobles are also a faction, and finally there is Pelzen......"

"Pelzen?"

Hearing the name, O'Faryl raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't he the heir of the family.........?

"This kind of martial arts, to put it bluntly, is just a stage to show his strength, and as the heir of the family, Mr. Pelzen must read his strength and let the patriarch and other nobles see his strength. Otherwise, the position of this heir may not be too stable. ”

"I see. ”

Hearing this, Ofaril nodded slightly, and then she peeked at the pair of sisters sitting on the right side of her body, biting their ears and whispering to each other, and a blush appeared on her face. It's no wonder that during the three days of the Midsummer Festival, the two sisters broke Offariel's heart, not because they had a strange temper or made some excessive demands, in fact, the sisters themselves didn't have any opinions about being brought to the festival by Offariel this time, since it was Yulian's order, they would naturally obey it. And they are not stupid, and they are also very aware of the situation in front of them, so of course they will not be as simple and ignorant as ordinary little girls............ However, for O'Faryl, the two seem to be a little too "passionate".

Whenever O'Faryl wasn't looking, the two young ladies would turn around and couldn't find anyone, but when O'Faryl went to look for them, he found that they were doing what they had done that day in the exhibition room. And it doesn't matter the time, place and occasion, as long as they don't pay attention, they will avoid the line of sight and "reopen the battlefield" in those places where no one is around. This made O'Faryl embarrassed and nervous, although she also hoped that the two of them could be more self-respecting, but after all, the other party was only a girl in her teens, and O'Faryl herself was a girl who had not yet been experienced, so it was impossible to take the initiative to mention this kind of thing to them. And O'Faryl didn't know if it was a bad act to do this kind of thing between two girls, but if it was between a man and a woman, it wasn't so difficult to judge.

And what makes O'Faryl nervous the most is the detached attitude of these two who don't look at the time, place and occasion at all, they don't seem to care that this kind of thing will be seen, but for O'Faryl, she is quite nervous, of course she knows how fast the rumors between the nobles are, if they are seen, then I am afraid that in a day, the entire Bird family will know. But these two seem to be particularly fond of "field battles". Whether it is the garden, the restaurant, the guest room or even the corridor, there are their "fierce battles", you must know that this is not the Twilight Castle but the territory of the Bird family, why can't these two young ladies understand the situation?

At first, O'Faryl also took the two young ladies with her, thinking that if they slept together, they would be obedient for the sake of outsiders. What I didn't expect was that even if they fell asleep next to them, the two sisters didn't care at all, but "played" more energetically, which caused O'Faryl to feel uncomfortable herself, and in desperation, she finally had to ask Charlotte to help take care of it, and finally let the sisters stop a little.

And now on top of this most important martial arts, O'Faril naturally doesn't want any problems, she really can't be sure, whether these two young ladies will run somewhere to play their "game" on a whim on the way to the competition, so now O'Faryl has secretly made a decision in his heart, no matter what, he must watch the two of them today, and don't make any more trouble.

And while O'Faryl was thinking, the first match off the field had already been decided, and after the two low-level swordsmen fought in the center of the square for more than ten minutes, one of them was slashed in the shoulder by the opponent's backhand because of his lack of physical strength, and then he was kicked down with a heavy kick. And with the end of the battle, the surrounding civilians who watched the excitement also immediately cheered, but for the nobles, this is just a test of skills, according to the rules of the martial arts, the winner must meet three challenges on the stage, and only three consecutive victories can be eligible for the martial arts championship. But in fact, the battles of these small characters in front are just appetizers for the nobles, and there is nothing to see at all.

Sure enough, another challenger soon entered the arena, and after only a few minutes, the previous victor was provoked by the opponent to fly his weapon, and at the same time stabbed a sword into the abdomen and fell to the ground, seeing that he could no longer fight. Soon someone went up and carried him down, and at the same time declared the victory of the other side.

"Is that okay?"

Looking at the competition in the center of the square, O'Faryl frowned, as a former royal princess, of course she understood what was going on. Since Wudian is the best time for nobles to show their strength, it is naturally the best time to weaken the strength of the other party, if you can weaken the enemy's strength on such an occasion, then even if you don't get the final victory, it will be enough to return to your roots. But what made Ofaril a little dissatisfied was that this was a ritual after all, and seeing blood in the ritual was always an uncomfortable thing.

"As long as you don't die, there's no problem. ”

Hearing Ofariel's inquiry, Juventus nodded and replied.

"According to the rules of the martial arts, it is not allowed to kill, if you kill someone, then no matter how strong the strength is, you will be disqualified, so even if these people start, they will always be measured. ”

I see.

Just as the two were talking, the competition in the square also reached a white-hot stage. A middle-aged warrior defeated two challengers in a row, and at this moment he was standing firmly in the center of the square, he was burly and huge, holding a long sword and a wooden shield, wearing steel armor, looking extremely majestic, and what made everyone even more remarkable was that at this moment, his whole body exuded a faint soul brilliance, which was the mark of a middle-level swordsman.

"He's the chief of the Serra family's bodyguard. ”

Seeing this man, Juventus also frowned and looked embarrassed.

"The Sierra family supports those foreign nobles, I really didn't expect that they would send this man out so early......... It was a bit of a surprise, and I thought they would send someone to do it later. ”

Just when Juventus sighed, there was also a stirring among the nobles, and they all understood that the appearance of the middle-level swordsman meant that this martial arts had finally crossed the foreplay and entered a critical stage. It's just that in the past, this kind of challenge was carried out by the family as a transition, but now, it is a foreign nobleman who has taken the lead?

Looking at the middle-aged man standing on the stage, everyone in the Bird family frowned, although the middle-level swordsman is not weak, but it is not enough to see in front of these big nobles, in fact, at this moment, within the Bird family, there are also many powerful figures, but for the Bird family itself, they are not too willing to consume their strength on this kind of foreign family, you know, if this is a factional struggle within the Bird family, then there is no problem. But the Sierra family is just an alien clan attached to the Bird family, and if he suffers a dumb loss in his hands, then it will be a big trouble. Moreover, the strength of a mid-level swordsman is also troublesome, and if the other party desperately bites back, then it will not be good. So, after the middle-aged man defeated two opponents, the nobles were silent for a while, as if they were thinking about something.

And noticing the emotional changes of the nobles in the field, Offariel also narrowed her eyes slightly, she naturally noticed that the atmosphere had changed since the middle-aged man came on the field, and understood that now was a good opportunity, but ............... After glancing at the twin sisters sitting beside her, grinning, O'Faryl could only sigh deeply and give up this good opportunity. After all, these two young ladies are trump cards, and they are not suitable to appear at such a time.

And just as Offaelle sighed, about to give up this opportunity, a soft voice sounded from behind her.

"Miss O'Faryl, if you don't mind, I want to go up and have fun, may I ask?"

"Charlotte?"

Hearing this, Ofaril's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the maid beside her, who was now looking at her with a sweet, lovely smile, as if waiting for her answer. This maid O'Fariel also knows, although her background is as mysterious as that of the twin sisters, but at least she doesn't have as strange surnames as them, and she is an easy person to get along with. However, O'Faryl didn't know that she could also fight............ "Is it okay?"

Looking at Charlotte's softly smiling face, Ofariel hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, please. ”

"Please leave it to me. ”

Charlotte chuckled at O'Fariel's answer, then she turned, and then her figure shook, and in the next moment the girl jumped down like a nimble bird, and landed easily on the square.

And at the moment when Charlotte came on the field, the noise that originally filled the entire square stopped abruptly. Whether it was a commoner or a nobleman, they all looked at the girl in front of them in surprise, they never thought that it would be such a young and beautiful girl to come out to challenge.

At this moment, under the light of the fire, Charlotte's beautiful blonde hair exuded a soft brilliance, and combined with the strange and outstanding maid outfit she was wearing, it was quite a set off the delicate side of the girl. At this moment, no matter who it is, they will only see this girl as a weak female surname, not a brave warrior.

However, such a delicate girl jumped to the center of the square at this moment, could it be that she wanted to challenge?

"Hello, sir. ”

In the face of everyone's curious and puzzled eyes, Charlotte didn't care at all, and bowed slightly with a smile, as if what was in front of her was not an opponent who was about to fight, but an ordinary guest.

"I'm here to challenge you. ”

"............ you?"

Hearing Charlotte's answer, the middle-aged man's eyes widened in surprise, in fact, he had been mentally prepared before he played, and his master had also told him that the Bird family would definitely not be used to seeing himself in the limelight, and he would inevitably go on a provocation when the time came, and as long as he brought out the people of the Bird family, he would immediately surrender and give up the fight. But now I didn't expect the plan to change as fast, the people of the Bird family did not appear, but I don't know where a girl ran from, you must know that this is the third challenge, that is, the last challenge, if you win, then it is the champion of the martial arts!

"Little girl, this is not the place for imps like you to play. ”

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man straightened his face and shouted in a low voice.

"The battle is far more brutal and terrible than you women think, and I advise you not to waste your time here. ”

"But I don't think so. ”

Smiling and listening to the middle-aged man's words, Charlotte's complexion did not change in the slightest, on the contrary, she crossed her hands and slid over her thighs, and in the next moment, between the girl's slender and slender fingers, there were several more crystal clear glass vials.

"In fact, it seems to me that you have no chance of winning at all. ”

With a soft smile, Charlotte unswervingly spoke out that silenced the audience.

"You're ......!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face was slightly gloomy, he never thought that a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old would dare to talk to him like this. And the surrounding nobles and commoners were also dumbfounded at the moment, looking at each other, in fact, when Charlotte appeared on the stage, they were all a little dissatisfied, after all, they also knew that this was the last chance for the middle-aged swordsman to challenge, if he won, then there was no need to continue the competition. And this martial arts ceremony will end, which is certainly not what they want to see. So at first, the nobles and commoners wanted to pull the girl down so that she wouldn't waste this precious opportunity, but now, after hearing Charlotte's answer, these people were completely speechless. Indeed, the strength of that middle-aged swordsman is not particularly high, but after all, he is also a middle-level swordsman! Ordinary people have no pressure to fight a dozen low-level swordsmen, and they are not easy to catch in the face of a girl like her? But now, that maid actually made a declaration so confidently, does she have any secret weapon?

Thinking of this, everyone also closed their mouths and stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes, wanting to see what kind of way this girl was going to use to defeat that man.

"Humph!"

Feeling everyone's gaze, the middle-aged man also snorted coldly, as a middle-level swordsman, of course he could perceive that the other party's strength was not even at the level of a low-level swordsman, he lacked training, and he didn't have any strength at all, moreover, she didn't even hold a sword, she was just an ordinary woman, and she actually wanted to challenge herself, she really didn't know whether to live or die! Thinking of this, the middle-aged man was also angry, he had already thrown his employer's words to the back of his mind, although it was reasonable to say that he should surrender and leave at this time, but in the face of a woman's challenge, if he surrendered and left like this, then he would not have to mix in the city in the future!

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man clenched his long sword and made up his mind.

"Very well, then as you wish!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man shouted angrily, and then he rushed to Charlotte not far away, and at the same time swung the long sword in his hand hard!
