Chapter 100: Joy and Sorrow

Eric's attack was only visible to a few people, and the burly man quickly stood up after falling to the ground.

"Why? Don't dare to speak? Actually compete with the trainee knight with the strength of the knight, even if it is forgotten, the victory is in hand, and he will not let go of the other party. Eric shook his head and said, "You're pretending to look like you!"

Francisco, who was still dissatisfied with Eric, looked a lot better, and he asked the burly man, "Is what Eric said true?"

Seeing the other party's somewhat ashamed expression, Francisco couldn't understand the truth of the matter.

He said directly: "This is a loss for us, and the first game can only be a contest of trainee knights." ”

In fact, Eric is not the only one who has discovered this. Matthew looked at Eric with interest after hearing Eric's judgment. It is not easy for someone to see that the enemy is a knight, and Matthew knows that this burly man is practicing a special combat skill, so it is generally difficult for him to let people discover his true strength.

"It turned out to be knights, I thought both of them were trainee knights!"

"Lord Eric is also a knight, but that guy is obviously not Lord Eric's opponent!"

Amid the chatter, Eric sat back on the couch and continued to drink his wine. Emily took "Nina" and rubbed it on the sofa, and Emily's little eyes looked at Eric with admiration: "Eric, can I become as good as you in the future?"

"No!" Seeing Emily's disappointed expression on her face, Eric continued, "You will definitely be better than me in the future!"

"Hit him on the head!" Emily angrily called out to "Nina" to help her teach Eric a lesson. And "Nina" actually hit Eric with her head, but it looked more like she was coquettish, making Emily shout a traitor.

While Eric and Emily were having fun, he noticed Verin walking towards the civilian group, asking them about him. However, many people said that they didn't know, or were vague, and everyone obviously didn't want to say anything to Verindo.

But Jahira had a malicious look on her face and whispered something in Verin's ear.

Eric's ears moved, he vaguely heard the names of Caroline, Angelina and some others, and Verin, who got the answer, looked at Eric with a sinister look. But Eric drank his wine as if nothing had happened.

The second person to play was Jahira, Eric didn't expect this guy to really have some ability, although the process was a bit difficult, but he won the final victory.

The aristocratic group was not calm on their side, and they lost two matches at once, which made their situation very unfavorable. And Francisco still had a confident expression on his face. Sure enough, the next aristocratic group won two games in a row, and now the two sides returned to the same running line.

Judging from the two matches in which the nobles won the victory, it is easy to find that the level of combat skills of the two sides is very different. When the final game of the main event came, Caydong and Francisco took it upon themselves.

Both of them are the strength of second-order knights, and their weapons are both long swords.

In Laika City, there may be many nobles who fear Francisco, but Caydon will not be one of them, because the treasurer is under the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Senate, and the lord has no right to manage the finances.

Although Kaidong is the second son, his elder brother has already entered the center of the empire, so he inherits the title of the family.

Both Caydon and Francisco have pride in their eyes, and they also believe that only the other is worthy of being their opponents, not only because of their status, but also because of their strength, except for Sofia, of course.

Seeing that both of them were using swords, Eric was much more interested in the comparison, he didn't know how these two people's swordsmanship would compare with Atos and Stewart? These two people left a deep impression on Eric, especially Stewart, who did everything he could, and his dangerous surname was even higher than that of Ados.

The two of them came and went in the competition venue, and the dizzying battle between them made everyone very enjoyable to watch, and also made everyone full of admiration for Kaidong and Francisco, it is really unusual to have this kind of strength at a young age.

Both of them are obviously from a family background, and the swordsmanship they perform is extraordinary. During the battle, the two men did not forget to tease twice, and then one looked at Miri and the other at Sophia.

Feeling a little disappointed, Eric shook his head, he found that the swordsmanship of these two people was really poor, the swordsmanship was good, but the people who learned it were far behind.

"Eric, what's the matter, you don't like their swordsmanship?" Sophia couldn't help but ask this question when she saw Eric shaking his head secretly.

"What? You actually look down on the swordsmanship of these two people? Could it be that you are more powerful?" said Miri, who had been following Sophia all the time, and looked at Eric with disdain after hearing his friend's words.

Eric didn't pay attention to Miri, and said directly to Sophia, "What are you asking me for?

Sophia, who chuckled twice, comforted Miri and said, "You don't have to be angry, in fact, your brother and Kai Dong's swordsmanship is not very good!"

Miri, who wanted to continue to refute, heard the voice of his father behind him: "Sophia is right, your brother is too keen on swordsmanship itself, and when he attacks, he is too flashy, and Kai Dong is too gorgeous in his pursuit, this is not a performance." From Sophia's point of view, their competition should be similar to a child's fight!"

"But I'm a little strange, is Eric's swordsmanship also very good, why would Sophia ask you that?" Matthew asked Eric with a curious expression.

"No, no, I just think they're a little worse than Ados, and although I was a young man, I had experienced the swordsmanship of Ados in the gladiatorial arena. Eric said with a quick wave of his hand.

As soon as Matthew heard the name Atos, his face immediately became acute: "No wonder! This Atos is very remarkable now, Francisco is not qualified to compare with this person, but Sophia can compete with him." ”

Now it was Eric's turn to be curious, and he couldn't help but look Sophia up and down carefully: "I didn't expect this woman to be so powerful! ”

Verin didn't know when he walked to Angelina's side and made an invitation to her to the banquet, but Angelina refused, Baron Willy didn't expect so many people to not take him in his eyes today, and his angry eyes seemed to be on fire.

When Baron Willy looked at Eric and Angelina with a grim face, Jahira laughed darkly.

Seeing that Kaidong and Francisco couldn't tell the winner in a short time, Matthew immediately stopped the competition, saying that this competition was a tie between the two people, and as for the officer's deputy, he gave Kaidong and Francisco three places each. After doing this, Matthew left with his men.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the whole banquet became a little more lively than before, and everyone indulged themselves wantonly. However, Jahira, who was just dark, was half cold at this time.

"This is the Knight Jahira, handsome and charming, my master, Baron Willy, has invited you to a banquet he will hold two days later, and he wants to discuss the way of knighthood with you all night, only for one night. ”

Verin said with a smile on his face: "I also hope that Knight Jahira will not refuse, my master has a strong network in Yanjing, and when the time comes, he will win several civilian positions in the council for His Excellency Kaidong." ”

"No problem, I have promised on behalf of Jahira, and I ask you to reply to Baron Willy, I hope that he will have a wonderful evening. Caydon quickly agreed to Verin's invitation.

When Verin left, Jahira hurriedly said to Caydon, "Caydon, how can you promise to come down, I won't go!"

"You have to go, I know it's hard for you, but just endure it for a day. I know Baron Willy, who never breaks his word and who has a very strong connection. If you think about how many people will never be able to get this kind of opportunity in their lifetime, this is a good time for us to develop the Order, and I will give priority to you to work in the Council when the time comes. Do you still want to live the life of being looked down upon everywhere before?"

After listening to Kai Dong's persuasion, Jahira, who also knew Kai Dong's style of doing things, finally gritted her teeth and agreed. He knew that if he didn't agree, the outcome would not be much better, and Caydon would definitely tie him up to Baron Willy.

On Eric's side, Mirey approached him and said mysteriously, "Do you want to help Sophia?"

Looking at Miri strangely, Eric didn't understand when they became so acquainted, so he directly rejected Miri and said, "No, unless Sophia is in love with me, why should I help her?"

Hearing Eric's answer, Miri sneered twice: "In love with you? Hmph! You better go home and look in the mirror! Sophia will definitely be my sister-in-law." ”

"It's better to go home and look in the mirror than to go home and change your clothes, should we do it again?"

"You" Miri, who understood the meaning of Eric's words, said to Eric in shame, "This is not over!" and hurriedly left Eric's side.

When the banquet ended, Eren passed by Eric and said, "You have to protect Angelina, those people may be against her in a few days." ”

Eric, who did not stay at Tulip Manor, ran into several old acquaintances shortly after leaving the city gate.

"Eric, we have something to talk to you about!" said Omar, the leader of the Walrus Guard.

Eric, who was trying to trouble these people, was wondering why these people didn't see Urga and Omar, and now he didn't expect the other party to send them to the door by himself.
