It was another bright morning, the grass in the backyard of the church was covered with dew and insects were chirping.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A powerful and loud knock on the door.

"Little guard! Little Guard! Are you there? ”

The girl's energetic voice brought An Ling's thoughts back to reality from the void and nothingness.

He slowly got up from the bed and opened the wooden door.

"Oops."

Suddenly, a red-haired girl fell into An Ling's arms, causing An Ling to tilt her head.

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

Talia hurriedly stood up with a slight pink cheek, and said angrily to An Lingjiao:

"Why don't you open the door without making a sound!"

An Ling looked at the red-haired girl, and then at the black-haired girl behind her. Asked softly:

"Two guests, do you have anything to do with me?"

Amy poked Talia's waist, and then bowed very politely to An Ling and thanked her:

"Your Excellency An Ling, we are here to thank you, thank you for saving the lives of everyone in our Iris Adventure Group that day, almost saving the lives of everyone in our Iris Adventure Group."

"Yes, yes, little guard, thank you for helping that day, otherwise we would have been really miserable."

"Don't be so rude, Talia, someone else's name is Anling."

“……”

"Anling! Thank you for saving us! ”

Despite her reluctance, the red-haired girl bowed solemnly to An Ling to thank her.

An Ling looked at them expressionlessly for two seconds, and then pulled up a smile on his face a little mechanically, and said:

"Looks like you're almost healed from your injuries."

"That's right!"

Talia straightened up and said with an aura:

"I feel like my whole body is full of strength now, and it's no problem to go out on a mission and fight right away!"

Amy also nodded and whispered:

"Thanks to Sheena's sacrificial magic, our injuries are almost healed now. Now I also have the strength to express my personal gratitude to you, Your Excellency. ”

Talia clasped her hands to her chest, looked to the side and said:

"I remember thank you already~"

An Ling nodded lightly with a polite smile on his face.

"Actually, you can just thank Sheena for the sacrifice, you don't have to come to me."

"No, thank you both."

Amy's quiet dark eyes met Shang Anling's eyes.

"Your Excellency An Ling, your shot is also crucial."

An Ling didn't say much, but asked:

"How's that Miss Auxiliary Mage doing? The man who was entrusted to save it. ”

Amy frowned, a little unsure of how to speak.

"Olifi? She's ...... now."

At this time, Talia waved her little hand and took the initiative to answer:

"Olifi, she's woken up once! It's just that I wasn't in good spirits, and I fell asleep again not long after waking up! She didn't say anything to us, obviously we were so worried about her! ”：

"But there is actually no time for people to wake up, and the priest said that she is now in no major problem with her body or soul, but she needs to recover for a few days in her heart."

"yes, that's good."

An Ling smiled and said:

"I've received your thanks, I'm going to start my magic training now, let's do our own thing."

"What are you doing in such a hurry!"

The red-haired girl glared at An Ling, and said loudly:

"So good-looking two girls took the initiative to chat with you, shouldn't you think about staying a little longer?"

"Talia, what are you talking about!"

Amy quickly poked Talia in the waist again.

"Haha~"

An Ling was a little amused, and said helplessly:

"I'm sorry, my fault."

"No, no, you are not wrong, Your Excellency An Ling."

Amy quickly shook her hand.

"Talia is kidding, she actually has other things to do with you."

"Huh?"

An Ling tilted her head, looked at the cute girl with a squeamish face in front of her, and asked:

"Miss Swordsman, is there something wrong with me?"

"Just call me Talia! So what's the point of being polite? ”

Talia snorted, puffed up her chest and said to An Ling:

"Look at you, you're also a silver-level swordsman, and you're about the same size as me, I want to have a competition with you, do you agree?"

"Competition? Isn't that good? ”

An Ling's cheeks twitched, not quite wanting to agree.

As far as the level of "Light Flame Magic Power" is concerned, it is true that he only has silver, but his physical strength and strength are far from being comparable to weak silver.

He also doesn't know the "handle with care" thing, and during the competition, he may accidentally cut the red-haired girl in front of him in half. When the time comes, it will be troublesome and boring.

"What's not so good?"

Talia raised her eyebrows and said displeasedly:

"It's just a simple competition, let me see your strength, can't you?"

"If you don't think it's fun to just compete, how about we raise the stakes a little more?"

"Oh? Wager? ”

An Ling was a little interested.

"What bet?"

Talia blushed, her eyes turned to the side, and she said:

"Before...... When I was in a deserted village, I didn't tell you......"

"Say...... If you're willing to help Maggie, am I willing to repay you with everything? ”

An Ling raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect her to take the initiative to mention this matter. So he smiled and said:

"Ah, I remember, so you're going to keep your promise now?"

The red-haired girl's cheeks were a little redder, and she hurriedly said:

"No, it's not, I'm saying that if you want me to keep my promise, you have to beat me first! Otherwise, I'll just cheat and deny it! ”

"Oh~"

An Ling nodded knowingly and said:

"So the bet means that if I lose, it's treated as if it doesn't exist, and if I win, I can ask you to do anything, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means! Do you promise? ”

"Yes, I accept it."

An Ling smiled and agreed to the competition.

Violence without killing people wasn't interesting, but if it was a gambling game, he was really interested.

This kid doesn't really have any over-the-top ideas, right?

Talia glanced at An Ling suspiciously, and a trace of fear rose in her heart.

But soon, she shook her head vigorously, emptied her distracting thoughts, walked to the open space in the backyard, and shouted to An Ling:

"It's better here! Let me see if you're really strong! ”

"Okay."

An Ling smiled and walked next to the dry well, picked up the wooden sword on it, and asked:

"This begins?"

"Here we go!"

The ring on Taria's hand flashed, and a sturdy brownish-red wooden sword appeared in her hand. The magic power poured into the sword body, and it slashed towards An Ling with a fierce momentum.

Traces of red magic were streaked in the air, and with a strong sound of wind, Talia came to An Ling in an instant, and the long sword fell with a heavy blow.

An Ling bowed his head slightly, holding the wooden sword in both hands.

Boom~

"Ah~"

The brown-red wooden sword was thrown away with great force, and Talia was pushed to the ground in shock.

The competition ended quickly and simply, with no fierce encounters and no complicated sword fights. It's just a simple crushing of strength, and the red-haired girl's sword was lightly stopped by An Ling, and the sword flew down.

And this result was really unexpected.
