Chapter 106: The Knights' Gamble
"Luckily, I have a Dragon's Heart Badge that can help me heal my wounds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info or I'm going to be out of shape!Eve, you're too ruthless. ā
Eve grabbed Lance's wrist and rushed down the stairs: "I said I'm sorry, hurry up." First sword lesson, time is pressing!"
"How do you feel like you're more excited than I am. ā
When Lance was dragged out of the door by Eve, all the knights looked curiously at the princess and her scholar friend.
"Big nose," George asked, "Your Highness the Princess, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Before the "big nose" George could finish asking, Eve had already dragged Lance out of the door: "Teach swordsmanship!"
When he heard this answer, he immediately stood up as if everyone had been immobilized by a spell, and his face showed a shocked expression. It's like hearing terrible news.
"Did I hear me right, teach swordsmanship?" "Bald Knight" Old Tulius smiled in disbelief: "Could it be that I teach that scholar......
"Big nose," said George, "though you usually have bad ears, like a wooden cork." But you should have heard it right this time. Our Highness the Princess...... It's said to teach...... Swordplay. ā
"Chicken God" Knight Perry gasped and said: "In the entire Quiller world, who doesn't know that Her Royal Highness our princess is a well-known devil instructor, so it is not light or heavy. Let's just say that since Her Royal Highness the princess was 15 years old, there are not 1,000 knights who come to apprentice, but 800. ā
"Yes...... 234...... Person. "Fallen Baron" Ines slowly spat out the number.
Knight Perry, the "Chicken God," continued, "Yes, 234 men, all of whom were in less than three days, and vowed never to return to Idris again." ā
Joseph took the oatmeal and smiled as he ate it, "It's not as serious as you say." Isn't it just devil training? Isn't that what you usually do?"
"Big nostrils" George looked up at the roof and said with a bitter smile: "General Joseph, you are a member of the legion, and you don't know the pain of us knights. Because of the swordsmanship of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know where higher than us. Therefore, the crushing of the level makes Her Royal Highness the princess even if he only uses one-fifth of his strength, we are basically either disabled or injured. We're basically just letting Her Royal Highness practice on her own. Last week, the new Leon knight didn't know the severity, and he had to train swordsmanship with the princess, but he couldn't persuade him. As a result, the princess directly broke her hand with a wooden sword wrapped in cotton......"
"It's nothing. The "bald knight" old Tulius wiped away a handful of tears and said:
"Back then, I also wanted Her Royal Highness to teach me swordsmanship with the purpose of seeing Her Royal Highness's beauty every day. As a result, on the first day, I did 500 push-ups and 200 pull-ups. Immediately after doing it, I sparred with Her Royal Highness the Princess. As a result, within three strokes, I was beaten with internal bleeding. If it weren't for Sir Andrei of Menizhe who happened to pass by at that time, he saved me with holy healing. I'm long dead. ā
General Andre was completely surprised at this time: "Holy Healing Technique! That's the highest level of healing magic." A healer-knight is required to do penance and prayer in the church for at least four hours a day for 180 days. can only be used once. Andrei actually used such precious magic to save you. How dangerous you were then!"
"Bald Knight" Daturius sighed and said, "Since then, no one has dared to worship Her Royal Highness the princess as a master easily. Although after the last incident, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already started to know some of the seriousness. But it didn't get much better, especially since the notoriety of devil training had spread. So Her Royal Highness the princess hasn't taught others swordsmanship for more than a year. After all, who can afford to be trained with serious injuries every day. ā
At this time, the "philosopher" Marx knight, who was lying on the windowsill, put down the small book of "The Oracle of Flobelga" in his hand, and then looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You can shed blood in peacetime, but you don't die in wartime." ā
"Big nostrils," George said with a smile, "It's easy to say, who can afford the pain of breaking their hands and feet every day of training." On the first day of training, before he made three moves, his hand was broken. How can you continue to train? If you fish for three days and dry your nets for two days, how can you learn any swordsmanship?"
The "philosopher" Marx Knight showed an expression that he had already seen through and said: "Just because you are not suitable does not mean that others are not suitable. There is no right or wrong, good or bad in this world, only what is suitable or not. In my opinion, this Lance scholar, who has never studied swordsmanship at all, is precisely the most suitable apprentice for His Highness Eve. It's as if the gods arranged it on purpose. ā
"Bald Horseman" old Tullius sneered and said, "Great philosopher, you have begun to play with words again. Can you explain it?"
The "philosopher" Marx Knight continued to look down at the book and said: "How can I speculate on the arrangement of the gods. The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, and people's desire for knowledge must be satisfied by themselves. ā
"You start again, forget it, let's go and save this kid from the hands of Her Royal Highness the princess before he dies. ā
"Bald Knight," said old Turius, was going to take everyone to Lance and Princess Eve.
But the "philosopher" Marx Knight said: "No, believe me, at least on the first day, the Reims scholar will be safe and sound, and his hands and feet will be intact." I'm betting 50 silver nar, are you betting?"
I heard that there was a gamble, and it was 50 silver narls, which was a month's income for a star knight. In an instant, the "bald knight" old Tullius hurriedly ran to the side of the "philosopher" Marx knight with everyone, and said excitedly: "This is what you said!"
Marx calmly took out the money bag on his waist, put it in front of old Tulius, and said: "That's right, I said it, I bet 50 silver narr." Do you dare to follow?"
Old Tulius grabbed Marx's money bag and said excitedly: "I will press 20 silver nar, bet that the kid will not last a day, and will definitely break his hands and feet, and then beg grandpa to tell grandma to get rid of the clutches of His Highness Eve!"
As he spoke, old Tullius threw his money bag in front of Marx, and said confidently: "You are killing yourself, Marx." If you say you can survive a day under Princess Eve's clutches, I'd barely believe it. But that weak scholar child can do 500 push-ups is good. Not to mention broken hands and feet. For my month's worth of drink, Lance Scholar, I'm sorry for you. Anyway, there is no fear of life, that is, it is just a broken hand and a broken foot. ā
Subsequently, "Big Nose" George, "Chicken God" Perry, stuttering "Trembling Knight" and others began to bet.
"I also pressed 10 silver narls!
"I can't hold on to 15 silver narls!"
"I, I, I, and I, and I follow, 20 silver silver silver narr...... Persistence, no, no, no. ā
"I'm also with 10 silver narls. Can't hold on."
"Me too, 10 silver nar. ā
The taciturn "Fallen Baron" Amos on the side also became interested, and said calmly and slowly: "Although...... Very...... I'm sorry...... Reims...... Academics, but ...... I ...... 30...... Yinnar, insistence...... No ......."
At this time, even the Stuart knight, who had malaria on the side and had just subsided in fever, trembled and raised his weak right hand slightly. He swayed and held up 20 silver narls and said, "I, cough cough, also press, 20 silver narls." Hang on...... No. ā
"Brother, you're working too hard. ā
The "philosopher" Knight Marx then looked at General Joseph and said, "General Joseph, don't you participate? ā
"But don't we really care about the lives of the Reims scholars? I still think it's ...... to stop them first."
At this time, the philosopher Marx said: "Believe me, first, Her Royal Highness the Princess is no longer the Royal Highness of the princess before. Second, the apprentice this time is not the same as before. Third, this Lance is no ordinary person. And Her Royal Highness the princess will not kill people at once, especially this magic language translator. So don't worry about your life, it's just up to you to see if the Lance Scholar can last a day. ā
General Joseph thought for a moment, then hurriedly took out his money bag, took out 40 silver nar, and said, "Then what do you have to say, hurry! I ...... press"
But at this time, the "philosopher" Marx Knight glanced meaningfully at General Joseph. So General Joseph gritted his teeth, stamped his feet and said, "I can hold on to the Scholars of Reims!"
The crowd looked at General Joseph with amazement and sympathy. They sighed in their hearts for General Joseph. He's a general of a foreign legion, and he still doesn't know the life and stalks of the knights of the guards. actually pressed Lance to insist. But it doesn't matter, there will be more money to be won this way.
The "philosopher" Marx Knight collected everyone's money and said: "Okay, there are 1 gold and 30 silver for those who can't hold on, and 90 silver nar for those who can't hold on." Buy it and leave it. Let's just wait. ā
Saying that, the "philosopher" Marx Knight continued to look down at the book. And General Joseph was a little frightened and approached the Marx knight and asked, "Marx, are you sure we can win?" ā
Marx smiled and said, "General Joseph, I'm not sure you still have 40 silver narls?"
"So, if you press 50 silver narls to make sure we can win?"
Marx nodded and said, "General Joseph, you are such a smart man. That's right, I'm sure we can win. And I know that this Lance's identity is definitely not ordinary. Perhaps, our princess's temperament will change from today. ā
General Joseph asked puzzledly, "How to explain it?"
Marx said: "The reason why the princess used to train those knight apprentices with devils was 500 push-ups at every turn, and she has been training in real style. That's because they are all knights, knights who have been trained in combat since childhood. Therefore, in the eyes of our hero-worshipping, arrogant and martial princess, these people are her opponents, and those devil trainings are the basic standards that should be achieved. And the Reims scholars are different. ā
"How is it different?"
"I can tell that Lance scholars must not have studied swordsmanship. In this case, Princess Eve naturally would not ask for a scholar from Lance according to the standard of a knight. It is inevitable that you will start with the most basic and basic sword grip and steps. Do you think there's any danger?"
When Joseph heard this, he patted the back of his head and said, "Yes! But after teaching, you will inevitably practice. Didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess start lightly and heavily? What if Her Royal Highness the Princess missed during their practice? ā
"Then don't worry, didn't you hear what Scholar Lance said when he was dragged downstairs by Princess Eve?"
"What did you say?" Joseph thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, and exclaimed, "You mean ......"
"That's right!" said Knight Marx, who hurriedly interrupted Joseph and motioned for him to be quiet. Then he showed a smug smile and said, "With that thing, Her Royal Highness the Princess will have no problem breaking the hand of Scholar Lance dozens of times." ā
Joseph also happily sat on the windowsill and said, "I said that you are the most suitable apprentice." It turns out that the key point is here. In this way, even if Her Royal Highness the Princess misses, then Lance Scholar will still be able to recover in an instant, and then continue training. In this way, the two of them are indeed a good match. ā
Marx looked out the window at the rising night and said meaningfully:
"And this kind of actual combat training, which completely ignores the danger, is the best teaching method for swordsmanship, this kind of combat skill. It may seem dangerous, but it allows Reims scholars to get close to the experience of real combat in their daily brutal training. And the opponent is still a swordsman like Princess Eve. So, as long as the Reims scholars persevere, it will not be more than a month. It shouldn't be a problem for him to reach the B-level swordsmanship. His chances and luck are just too good. ā
