Chapter 38: Reckoning

85_85536" Not necessarily. It was at this time that Konstantin spoke.

This captain of the guard, who has the strength of a great knight, denied the judgment made by the knight ten commanders before as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although the other party is stronger than him in terms of strength and position, such an obvious and unrefined slap in the face still makes the ten-captain feel that he can't get off the stage.

"So, Captain, what do you think, who do you think is more likely to win, Miss Xia Lumi or Young Master?"

Naturally, this question attracted a lot of attention for Konstantin. After all, Konstantin is currently the strongest and most discerning of the people watching the game. As a confidant of Baron Otto, he himself was much stronger than the average great knight - if there was anyone who could say the right conclusion, it would be him.

And Konstantin did not live up to the expectations of others. didn't play any tricks to sell the guanzi who wanted to get away with it, and directly said his thoughts:

"Miss Charlumie has a better chance of winning. ”

He said it lightly. But the greater confusion and confusion caused by this also had to be solved by him.

"Miss Charlumie is fighting with a sword, and the young master is not. He used the 'sword' to get closer to a dagger, a short spear, or some kind of strange weapon. Congenitally, he was at a disadvantage. He was using a weapon that was not in his favor, and he was unfamiliar with it, against Miss Charlumie - yes, in terms of talent alone, the young master's talent was definitely not below Miss Charlumie, but unfortunately, his talent was slightly off from the actual needs.

At the beginning, the young master might be able to take advantage of a little bit by surprise. But after Miss Charlumi got used to his tactics, it would be difficult for the young master to win. ”

Next, the development of the course of the battle, it seems, also indirectly proved the correctness of what Konstantin said.

After a period of onslaught, Xia Lumi, who had lost a lot of body, finally woke up from the negative psychology of "why didn't he fall yet" and "how could he have been entangled with this stupid guy for so long".

Charlumi became more cautious, and she no longer pursued useless attempts to suppress William in terms of attack strength. Rather, like William, he carefully defended himself while carefully searching for fighters.

After Charlumi did this, William became even more cramped. His physical strength and perseverance could not be realized in a short period of time. With an overwhelming lack of experience and technology, William clearly fell behind.

"If you continue like this, you will definitely lose. William thought to himself. In fact, this is what the vast majority of spectators think, unlike the previous situation of attacking and defending. Now everyone can see that William's condition is terrible, and defeat is almost inevitable.

"I hope that the young master can learn a lesson and correct this shortcoming. Konstantin shook his head and said something like this.

"Really...... Very unwilling. After once again failing to dodge and having to use his short sword to block, William suddenly realized that he had retreated at least ten steps backwards. This made him feel quite embarrassed.

"Do you want to throw in the towel?" after that, half of it was to regroup the situation, and the other half was to put more psychological pressure on William. Charlumi paused her pursuit of William. Then he asked this unnutritious question in a condescending manner.

Naturally, William had no intention of answering his question. Because there is no need to answer at all. In any case, he didn't want to lose, and especially not to Charlumie.

"Well, then, there's no other way but to try and see if that trick doesn't work—" William thought to himself, and then he pointed the tip of his sword at Charlumie in a very strange gesture.

"What do you want to do, young master?" most of the guards watching the battle were puzzled. However, Konstantin saw some clues, and the result of this guess made the captain of the guard suspicious.

"Really...... No, it's unlikely, right? The young master is just that old. It is impossible to grasp that-" but, immediately after, William's actions completely shattered the "impossible" in his mind.

Moonlight appeared.

The moonlight, which was as cold as water, was like the moonlight that flowed in the hands of Baron Otto that night, and the moonlight reappeared in William's hands this time.

Although it is only one-tenth of the size, although it is probably less than one-hundredth of the power of the original. But that "feeling" and that "beauty" are the same.

"I actually used it. ”

In the midst of such an exclamation, William's short sword was pressed against Charlumi's neck, and in contrast, Charlumi's body dodged only one trend. Her sword, on the other hand, stopped when she was still five inches away from William.

The winner is decided.

William smiled, then calmly withdrew his sword: "Looks like I won." He said to Charlumie. Just now, the expressions of the two of them dropped completely. William was smiling, while Charlumi was dumbfounded and expressionless, as if she couldn't accept the fact that she had failed for a while.

"So, Miss Charlumie?" Seeing that she was stunned and did not speak, William was a little impatient, so he urged. didn't expect Xia Lumi to come back to his senses, but he didn't give him a good look. After glaring at him, he didn't say anything more, but turned and left. It made William feel bored.

"Really, if you can't afford to lose, don't play. After reaching out and pulling it, but not holding it, William muttered. Then he turned around and went back to his room.

Although he won, to be honest, William didn't feel how great his victory was, and he didn't feel too happy either. Because this battle is really a bit of a victory.

Yes, if he fought with real skills, then he would probably have been beaten down by Xia Lumi at this moment. And the reason why he won was because he had seen the swordsmanship of his father, Baron Otto, before.

The terrifying swordsmanship like moonlight left a deep impression on William. At the same time, it was completely copied by the ability of mind recording. Over the course of a few days, William also acquired from his father a complete set of swordsmanship theories that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Hereford family.

In such a situation, although William is still a lot worse in terms of heat, but in a hurry, he is lucky by chance, and it is not surprising that he can perform such a sword technique. After this move, Xia Lumi was completely defenseless, and naturally lost to William. But then, William was not in a hurry, and found a place where no one was, trying to show his previous feeling again, but found that he couldn't use it anyway. That feeling can no longer be found.

For the rest of the day, Charlumi was stuffed in her room and didn't come out. When it was time for lunch and dinner, it was all sent in by the maid, and she herself did not go downstairs. This worried Baron Otto a little.

"You're going to see?" said the baron to William at the table.

"Don't go. Although the baron said this before and after, William still understood what he meant at the first time.

Of course, to get it is to get it. But agreeing or disagreeing is another matter.

"Girls still have to be coaxed. I know you've suffered a lot at her hands in the past few years, but what's the matter? Can't boys be open-minded? I think when I chased your mother......

Baron Otto didn't notice for a moment that he had slipped out of his mouth and mentioned William's mother. Then William pricked up his ears and wanted to hear what he had to say, but he didn't expect Baron Otto to be in such a fast state. At this point, it stopped. When William looked up, he saw a melancholy middle-aged man with his hands on his cheeks, exuding his artistic cells......

"Alas......" After sighing, William sped up and disposed of the green beans on his plate, then stood up and said to Baron Otto, "Then, I'll go and see." After that, he turned and walked away. Baron Otto sat there and said "mmmmmmmmmm

And just like that, William went out to the restaurant. I went up to the second floor, and then thought about Charlumi's room and walked over - it was only natural that Charlumi, who had lived here longer than in her own home, would have her own room in a reasonable castle, and would not live in a specially vacated room like an outsider.

But, halfway through, William stopped. Driven by various reasons, he felt that he should not be so good to Xia Lumi. A little more reserved, a little bit of self-esteem. He shouldn't have just run to her room to apologize - he hadn't done anything wrong, so why apologize?

"Really, inexplicably. Thinking of this, William turned and walked towards his room—if he wanted to apologize, at least until the next day—no, the child's temper comes and goes as quickly as it comes. Maybe when we meet again the next day, Charlumi will forget all about what happened today. It's still an arrogant look.

William thought to himself. Then he was going to read another piece of the book, digest it, and then go to bed - it was then that the door of his room was pushed open.

As always, Charlumi doesn't knock on the door when she goes in and out.

"What's wrong again?" Seeing the way Xia Lumi walked in with a pout, William couldn't help but frown.

Then, I heard Xia Lumi say, "This time, even if you win, you can speak casually as agreed, under two hundred Wendejin." But remember. Next time, next time it won't be that simple. I'm going to beat you next time—huh—"

After a final snort, and without waiting for William to answer her, Miss Charlumie raised her head, turned around, and left William with a haughty back of the head, and then slammed the door shut.

"......" William didn't know for a while, what to say to .......
