In the practice room, Corina held the knight's sword in both hands, her eyebrows raised slightly.

"Can you?"

"I naturally have no problem but you. Really ready? ”

"If you're worried about me, don't worry, I've had a good physical training since I was a child, and a little discomfort doesn't make a difference to me. And if you think I'm not ready to be your opponent."

The girl's words stopped here, and the long sword pointed at the other party was the best answer.

Lynn smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to draw his long sword.

In fact, if you just look at the contest between the two sides, you will definitely think that this is an unfair showdown.

Because of this duel, neither side is allowed to use magic, and only pure skill is used as a competition, but in addition to skill, the choice of weapon is also a factor that will affect the outcome of the battle.

The knight sword is against the long sword, and the knight sword must be more advantageous, because whether it is the quality or the length, the knight sword can suppress the opponent in all directions.

However, if the factor of the use of weapons on both sides is also added, it is not too unfair.

After all, women are considered a natural disadvantage in the battle of strength, and adding some advantageous weapons can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings.

"Whew-"

Taking a deep breath, Corina narrowed her eyes, her whole body tense.

Although it is estimated that it will be difficult for her combat concentration to reach the peak due to the events of last night, if she is just fighting, it may be enough?

Anyway, the other side is also a magician.

Even if he practiced swordsmanship since he was a child, even if he did have a record of defeating opponents as a warrior, but as a magician, he couldn't really practice swordsmanship every day, right?

Where does it come from so much energy!

And I never gave up.

She really didn't have much confidence if she used her magic powers, but she didn't think she would lose when her skills collided.

"Here we are."

With a shout of fairness, Corina stepped forward, her knight's sword arcing from top right to bottom left.

It was a simple slash and an absolutely powerful one.

The way it wields its power is the choice that can maximize its own strength, and the arc of the knight's sword swing can also use the inertia to increase the power of the slash, coupled with the natural advantage of the knight's sword length, the enveloping range is not small, if you don't dodge in time, even if you only rub the corners of the body, it may bring a major blow.

As a weapon with stabbing as the main means of destruction, the long sword is difficult to resist head-on in the face of such a powerful and overwhelming attack, and can only be avoided.

But if you dodge, the next thing to greet the user of the long sword will be a stronger continuous attack after the knight's sword takes advantage of the flip.

After all, the existence of the knight's sword is to go to the battlefield, and in the confrontation on the battlefield, there is no way out, once you flinch, it is a dead end.

So, what was Lynn's choice?

Corina stared at the young man's figure closely, trying to judge her next step with the help of the other party's subtle movements.

However, his actions made her almost stunned.

Lynn's right hand holding the sword was originally drooping, but after she began to move, he suddenly exchanged the hand holding the sword, holding it with his backhand, and raised it lightly.

Want to go tough?

No, it's not a hard hit.

It's a life change!

In the face of the slash from the top right to the bottom left, Lynn chose to counteract from the bottom left to the top right, but his sword body was slightly tilted, and after the two came into contact, he actually slid directly upward, and his body was also slightly tilted along the power of the knight's sword, and at the same time, he could reduce the range of his injuries.

And the sword slid away, where did it go?

"Boom-"

Corinna kicked Lynn in the abdomen just in time, and after being framed, she used the interplay of force to split it apart, and felt her chest with palpitations.

If he really let his sword slide up, then he could borrow the twist of his body to make the blade of the sword point directly at his heart, and at that time, he was most likely in a state where he couldn't immediately turn around and fight back after hitting the opponent, and he couldn't resist.

Such an exchange is unacceptable to anyone.

"Damn."

Taking a deep breath, Corina gritted her teeth and went on the offensive again.

However, what happened next undoubtedly ended with her forcibly taking over.

"Qiang—"

After another clash of gold and iron, Corina took a few steps back, gasping for air.

At this time, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead, which was due to the weather and the factor of excessive physical exertion.

The quality of the knight's sword makes it an advantageous weapon, but it also means that it will put a greater load on the owner than the longsword.

Without using magic to replenish her strength, the high-intensity confrontation obviously made her feel a little difficult.

Fortunately, don't continue.

"Whew-"

Lynn lowered his sword, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, "Almost." ”

"If it's just an exchange of skills, it should be about the same now, after all, after eliminating the magic power, everyone has so many skills, and now, it's almost used up."

“.”

Corina stared at him for a long time, and finally had to let go of her hand.

"Whether it's magic or swordsmanship, you're unexpectedly. What a monster. ”

"No, no, no." Lynn smiled and denied, "It's not so much that my swordsmanship is better, it's that my swordsmanship is too restrained for you." ”

"Huh?"

At his mention, Corina suddenly understood.

Indeed, in the battle just now, Lynn showed no more than his dexterity and adaptability, but at the level of real swordsmanship, he was still somewhat stiff due to the lack of practice.

Although this did not affect the whole process, if it were for Corina, she would definitely be able to do better with her flexibility and control of the sword.

But unfortunately, with this unskilled skill, he still outperformed Corina.

And, precisely because of the restraint with which he spoke.

"I seem to be taking too much care of myself." Corina sighed, "Every time I make a move after the first time, I am afraid that you will threaten my life, so the further I fight, the more my thoughts are no longer about how to win, but about countering your countermeasures. ”

The performance of swordsmanship also reflects the girl's character.

"If you have too many scruples, you can't do it after all."

Corina sighed again.

That's how she behaved in her life, except for yesterday, when she was a little bold and arrogant, she was conservative like a coward at other times, and never dared to do a big game.

Shaking her head, she put away her knight's sword and looked at the time.

"Almost, it's time for us to go back, there are still kids coming over to practice later, don't take up their place."

As a child of an aristocratic family, martial arts are something that must be mastered, even if the future direction is different, it must be possessed.

First, because of tradition, and secondly, because in the event of a war, the nobles are the ones who are likely to stand at the forefront of the front.

Even if it's just a child.

Lynn nodded in response to Corinna, and the two of them left the driving range together.

The two of them did not hide their thoughts, so this news quickly fell into the hands of Duke Christine, who was always paying attention to the two of them.

"Sparring?"

Duke Christine listened to the butler's return, thoughtful.

"Speaking of which, that kid, isn't he quite capable of fighting?"

"It seems to be so." The butler said respectfully, "According to the news, when Lynn Blazer was at Rhine College, he set a number of unprecedented records. ”

"'The longest existence in natural disasters', 'The first student to win the freshman challenge as a freshman', 'Winning the first place at the end of the academy with one person', etc., abandoning the natural disaster survival record that cannot be judged by authenticity, the other two have genuine records, and his opponent is not simple."

The duke, who didn't know much about this, asked curiously, "Oh? Who did he beat? ”

"Everyone."

"So, everyone?!"

When he heard this answer, even Mr. Duke, who had a certain majesty, couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

After a long time, he smiled: "It seems that if it weren't for a little accident, he probably wouldn't have looked down on Corina." ”

"Hmm"

In fact, the butler wanted to refute it a little, because Corina was not really nothing, her appearance, talent, and other aspects were not weak, and she was a little taller than people of the same age.

Although in front of a real genius, it still seems a little insufficient, but with the blessing of identity and background, it should at least be comparable, right?

Master, I really don't like Miss.

The butler sighed slightly in his heart.

Duke Christine could not detect the butler's inner thoughts, and after a moment of thought, he asked.

"Roselli, what do you think, how about letting that kid go to Bright Moon City?"

"Huh?" The housekeeper was slightly stunned.

Bright Moon City, a fief belonging to Duke Christine, is not large in area, and the population is not large, at best it is only half a normal county.

In general, this is obviously not normal.

How can you have a fief of a duke less than an earl.

In fact, it was an exchange.

Christine's ancestors had given themselves only a small number of fiefs in exchange for higher titles, otherwise they could have become a bigger lord.

In the past, Duke Christine didn't really understand why he would trade the opportunity to be a soil king for a title.

Wouldn't it be better to have a wider fief, more people, concentrate power on one person, and decide everything by yourself, than to be a poor duke now?

Later he understood.

If only Christine were to manage a large number of fiefdoms.

The end result may be that the land is gone, and the title is gone.

After all, Christine can't even play business, can she expect them to do a more advanced economy?

And after obtaining Bright Moon City, the old Duke Christine was not stationed there when he knew his ability, but as one of his own properties, it was impossible for others to sit on the throne.

As a result, the old duke could only let his relatives manage it.

As a result, the more you manage, the worse it gets.

Located in the province of Yenelia, the fourth largest province in the Rhine, Bright Moon City used to be a medium-sized city, not prosperous but not poor, but when Christine's juniors moved in to manage it, it became a mess of mud.

Because the juniors don't know how to manage and only know how to oppress the people, it has been in a very tense atmosphere for a long time, and a large number of people have been lost, and then Christine's juniors saw that they couldn't get any oil and water here, and they refused to run here, which made the management empty for a long time, and the order was out of control, and finally the entire Mingyue City became a chaotic area, so chaotic that they couldn't even sell it to other nobles, so they could only let it go.

Now, the reason why Duke Christine mentioned that he wanted Lynn to go to that place was naturally not to let him reforge the order, because the recasting order is not very good at fighting.

He wondered if he could get Lynn to get rid of all those chaotic guys, or rather, violently suppress them, and then take the opportunity to publicize that order had been restored, and take this opportunity to sell the land at a low price.

He hadn't done this before, because the nobles were very concerned about their reputation, and this kind of suppression and chaos would inevitably bleed, and if there was too much blood, it would not be able to hide, and then it would be spread out, and he would inevitably cause public opinion to attack, which was a big blow to fame.

Now with Lynn, it's much more convenient.

If someone asks who did it, say Blazer, and if they ask you how Blazer can go to someone else's turf to do something, say they're bold enough to do anything.

Anyway, as long as it wasn't their Christine on the surface, no matter how false the lie is, people can't attack them Christine in this way.

Thinking of this, Mr. Duke even thought about who to sell to.

If the nobles don't want it, they sell it to the merchants, and if the merchants of the Rhine don't want it, they sell it to the merchants of other places.

The world is so big, you can always find a buyer, right?

Now that he is about to enter the era of war, he needs to save some money to better prepare for the future.

After listening to the duke's thoughts, the butler naturally did not refute it, and nodded honestly.

"I think you're right, sir."

"Then do it, go, tell the kid."

The Duke waved his hand, looked at the back of the butler leaving, and fell into deep thought again.

"By the way, do you want him to take Corina with you?"

Corina has been a bit too double-eyed lately, and if she hadn't cooled her down, Hearst's idiot might not have much of a chance to compete with her.

However, if she is allowed to go, what if she secretly takes her money to recruit people loyal to her and develop her own power?

Bright Moon City, after all, still belongs to Christine's territory, people know that although there is no city lord here, but it is only temporary, if a person with Christine's surname comes to sit at this time, people will still recognize her, and if this person is quite capable and can take them to eat and drink, then obedience is not impossible.

"It's really hard to do."

Duke Christine rubbed his eyebrows, very entangled.
