Chapter 70: Operation Grass Cutting
The sword flashed.
Ofariel held the sword in his hand and drew a silver semicircle in the air, but this semicircle was not perfectly completed, and at the moment when it was about to reach its peak, it slid diagonally, causing the whole action to fail completely.
"Hoo ..............."
Putting down the sword in his hand, Ofariel sighed helplessly. Once again, my own practice failed.
"I have to say, Miss O'Faryl, you really don't have talent. ”
And Yu Lian, who was sitting on the side, showed a mocking smile and spoke.
This sword practice was proposed by Offariel herself, and she also knew very well that her ability could only be limited to certain aspects, but with Yulian's current style, it was obvious that she intended to make a high-profile appearance. The so-called tree is a big move, and she has already determined her own strength with her eyes, and there will be no problems in this regard. Even if she didn't know much about combat, in her dealings with Yuren, Her Royal Highness the former princess had a bit of a class division of combat strength, and in her opinion, the young lord was clever and cunning, and had enough ability and strength to make a career out of it. Even in such a situation, he would not encounter any particular setbacks and dangers.
But on the other hand, he doesn't have enough strength, and O'Faryl knows very well in his heart that the reason why Yulian took himself with him this time, in addition to the run-in between the two sides, is more to protect himself, after all, he has no fighting ability, although those wandering soul warriors are also very strong, but the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, if someone wants to attack her, I'm afraid that outside of Yulian, there will be no one who can protect her.
However, O'Faryl is obviously not satisfied with such a life, she herself knows very well that Yulian can protect herself for a while, but she can't protect herself for a lifetime, he can't be by his side anytime and anywhere, although he is a soul body at the moment, I don't know if there will be a threat of death, but if there is an accident, then it will be a trouble. Especially now, Yulian entrusts all the internal affairs of his territory to himself, and once he has any problems, it will affect the operation of the entire territory. Of course, Offariel thinks very highly of herself, as early as when she was a princess, she knew how to protect her own safety, after all, she knew that her own safety was related to the whole country, and she couldn't just take one to risk. This is the sense of responsibility that a person in a position of authority should have. And now it's the same, since Yulian has entrusted such an important matter to herself, then she has to make sure that she won't have problems due to any accidents, so the safest way is to have some self-defense skills.
But......... Yulian apparently has a different opinion on this.
"Isn't it really possible?"
O'Faryl reluctantly put down the long sword she borrowed from Custer, of course, this is not to say that she is "weak" enough to even hold a sword, if it is a real human, then because of the influence of muscles, vascular nerve transmission, etc., there will be an upper limit to bear. But for Offariel, a soul condensed entirely by magic, there was no such problem, but that didn't mean it was the same in other ways.
"You're not suited for hand-to-hand combat. ”
Yuren shrugged his shoulders helplessly, then stood up and reached out to take the sword from Ofariel's hand.
"First of all, your surname is not suitable for this type of fighting, as a swordsman, you have to know when to move forward bravely and when to be desperate, but you are too cautious, just like the attack just now, although the angle and direction are very important, but as swordsmen, the first thing we need to think about is to hit the enemy, not to think about other ways before starting to attack. ”
"Isn't that a good habit?"
Hearing Yuren's explanation, Ofaril asked with some confusion.
"Only a strong swordsman can do that, and for someone like you who has never held a sword before, it's not the time to consider such advanced skills. Saying this, Yulian shook his head, since Offariel took the initiative to discuss practicing swordsmanship with him, Yulian understood her thoughts, but unfortunately, although the determination and ideas of this princess are very admirable, the reality is always unsatisfactory.
"Can I just go on like this?"
Hearing Yuren's merciless evaluation, Ofaril let out a long sigh and then sat down on the chair next to him.
"Of course not, I think you also know that you have a lot of magical powers, and your magical caste is quite special, and in this regard, you have plenty of potential, and if you can get a good training, then even in battle, you will not be in any danger. ”
"But............ Where am I going to find someone who can teach me how to fight with magic?"
"You don't have to worry about that. ”
Speaking of this, You Lian waved his hand with a big grin, as if he didn't pay attention to it at all. However, the corners of his mouth revealed a playful smile.
"I've found a teacher for you......... As long as you can stick to it. ”
"Of course I can hold on, my lord. ”
Yu Lian likes to talk and leave half of the problem, and Ofariel naturally understands it, although I don't know when this lord found such a magic teacher for himself, but since the other party has already given him an answer, then Yu Lian must have made a decision a long time ago, so he just needs to accept it obediently. However, Yu Lian's next sentence made her nervous immediately.
"That's not the problem, though. No matter what method you use, you won't be able to avoid the most crucial parts of the fight. ”
"The most critical part?"
Ofaril looked up, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes.
"What do you mean ...............?"
This time, however, Yuren did not answer her inquiry, instead, he paused slightly, as if waiting for something.
"It's almost time. ”
With these words, there was a knock on the door.
"Lord Yuren?"
"Come in. ”
After hearing Yu Lian's response, the door opened, and then, several men walked into the room, they were none other than the attendants of Young Master Zack, at this moment they walked into the room with doubts on their faces, and after seeing the young man in front of them, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the eyes of the man in charge. It's no wonder, after all, in the past few days, those low-born dancers have always been in and out here, and they have teased them from time to time, even Young Master Zack seems to have some kind of undeserved interest in those lewd women, which makes the attendants of the Zack family look at it in their eyes, and their hearts are very angry, it's all to blame on that damn young nobleman, he is a nobleman, how can he have such a lewd interest?
However, under the eaves, they had to bow their heads, although they also approached Custer, hoping to protest to Yulian through him, but Yulian completely blocked these people back with a sentence of "the subordinates are not qualified to comment on the life of the nobles", so in desperation, these attendants could only keep silent. And right now, this lord actually took the initiative to find them, no one knows, what is the reason, or what decision has he made?
"You may be seated. ”
In the face of these attendants, Yu Lian still made a gesture to everyone with an elegant and gentle smile. And these people glanced at Ofaryl, who was sitting beside him, with a long sword in his hand, and blushed slightly, and then sat down, and then quietly looked at Yulian in front of him.
"Lord Yulian, may I ask you for something to come to us, if you can, I hope you can explain as soon as possible that we still need to protect the safety of the little master, especially in such an environment. ”
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the other party bit the word "environment" very hard.
"That's right, guys. ”
Yulian, who was sitting in the chair, was not angry at the other party's somewhat blunt inquiry, but continued to explain to everyone with a smile.
"I just wanted to give you good news......... In fact, I've already been in contact with the Zach family, and I'm going to have a happy ending with this matter right away. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, but Ofariel's heart suddenly stirred, I don't know whether it was because of the intuition of the female surname, or some other reason, she seemed to have a premonition of something, and hurriedly lowered her head, with the help of staring at the long sword in her hand, to hide the uneasiness in her heart.
"You mean, Young Master Zack will be back in the Zach family soon?"
"Of course. ”
Yulian nodded.
"I've already made contact with Mr. Keller, and if nothing else, in a few days' time, they'll have everything ready for Master Zach. ”
"Great!!"
Hearing this, the attendants couldn't help but get excited, they looked at each other excitedly, and they didn't know what to say at all. For such a long time, they have suffered so much and suffered so many sins with the young master, and now, all this is finally coming to an end! Young Master Zack can finally return to the family and sit in the position that originally belonged to him, and in this way, the old patriarch's wish can also be realized! The Zack family will have a new patriarch again, which is exactly what they have dreamed of seeing!
"So, you're no longer of any use. ”
With Yu Lian's words, the temperature in the entire room suddenly dropped to the extreme.
Before everyone could recover from their joy, a black light had already jumped out from behind Yu Lian, slashing through the air in front of him like a poisonous snake, and a bright soul sword light suddenly burst out, sweeping across the entire room.
In the face of this sudden attack, most people did not react, they still maintained their excitement and excitement, and they did not expect that the young man who was sitting not far from them, with a gentle smile all the time, would kill himself so quickly. But not everyone did not react, at the moment of the sword light explosion, one of the men immediately sensed the problem, he shouted, jumped up and pulled out the long sword in his hand, and at the same time, a faint red light flashed on the blade.
"Boom !!"
The soul sword light and the man's long sword were handed over, and there was a roaring sound, and the air flow generated by the collision of two different forces immediately burst out in the room, this sudden battle made the man unprepared, under the violent air pressure impact, he staggered back a few steps, and then fell to the ground, clenching his teeth, but the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth was still shocking.
"With the same caste power as Judy, it's no wonder you can stop me from dying. ”
You Lian leisurely stared at the red long sword in the hand of the man who fell to the ground, without showing the slightest nervousness at all, and among these attendants, he was the only one who escaped Yu Lian's attack, and the rest of them died completely without even pulling out their weapons.
"You............ ............ are you?"
"I didn't break my promise. ”
You Lian gently waved the pitch-black long sword in his hand and slowly walked in front of the man.
"I promised you to return Young Master Zach to his family safely, but this promise does not include you......... Or do you want to say that you are the real Young Master Zack?"
"You're ..................!!"
Hearing this, the man's eyes widened angrily, he opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, indeed, Yulian did not break his promise, but ......... He's cheating!!
"You bastard, you want to ......... young master"
"That's not something you need to worry about. ”
Yuren then replied, and then he turned to look at the girl who was still bowing her head.
"Miss O'Fariel, please raise your head and look closely, death is the eternal theme of battle......... Everyone's behavior before death will be different, but that doesn't change our decision, remember that and keep it in your memory forever. ”
“...............”
Hearing this, Ofariel gritted her teeth and slowly raised her head, indeed, this had been calculated by her for a long time, and after she guessed Yuren's plan, Her Royal Highness the wise princess knew that it was impossible for these attendants to live. But she didn't expect that she would face the death of these people, look at the corpses sitting in their chairs, before they had time to get up, their faces even had an eager, unfaded smile, they had just received such a good news, but what was the result? The shadow of death had appeared beside them before they knew it, mercilessly harvesting these fragile lives.
"You, these......... Despicable ............"
The man's eyes burned with anger, which was anger against the betrayer, and at the same time faintly mixed with a trace of disdain, and the fear peculiar to people before death, he looked at the long sword in Yulian's hand, desperately moved his body, trying to stand up, but the previous blow had already doomed his fate, and the powerful soul power impacted his body, bringing this man serious trauma, just with him now, there was no way to act.
"A wounded high-ranking swordsman. ”
Yuren looked playfully at the man in front of him, as if he was looking at some interesting and flawed toy.
"Although the quality is a little low, it is better than nothing..............."
As he spoke, he raised his sword.
"You damn bastard, you won't ..............."
Before the man's words could be finished, the cold, snow-white blade of the sword was easily inserted into his chest.
Then, Yuren's voice rang out again.
"Well, then, your soul, I take it. ”
