Chapter 2: My Sister's Bride (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Meditation on the world.
After more than half a year, Alan and Kelly returned to the Barony of Mulan again.
After the funeral for the assassinated "Anna", the baron, dressed as a man, continued to lead the team to welcome her family.
When he arrived in the county of Lancer, he was unexpectedly given a cold reception.
Your Excellency, a jousting tournament of knights is being held.
Nobles from near and far came to cheer, and it was very lively.
The Earl of Lancer only took the time to meet with his son-in-law once, never mentioning the marriage contract, and making explicit hints:
Unless Arthur wins the tournament and proves that he is mature and brave enough to be worthy of the position of Lord Magnolia, his daughter's engagement will have to be reconsidered.
Speaking of which, Alan and Kelly know it.
Winning the championship in the tournament is just a decent excuse.
There was no shortage of famous ranger knights who came to participate in the tournament.
The immature Baron Mulan is far from enough to compete with the knights who have long been famous.
The earl asked him to win the championship in a martial arts competition, which was really difficult for a strong man!
Perhaps, there was already a desire for him to retreat from the difficulty.
If Arthur doesn't know the height of the sky, he has to go to the field and be embarrassed, and he can't complain about him.
Alan accompanied her sullen sister back to her residence to discuss countermeasures.
As soon as I sat down in the living room, I heard the door slammed.
Alan got up and opened the door.
A thin figure stood outside the door, cloaked.
Cloak hood, pressed very low, shadows covering the face.
"Who are you?" Alan asked warily.
The cloaked man was silent, and seemed to be afraid of the giant man in front of him.
Kelly heard the movement and walked over.
The Cloaked Man moves two steps sideways.
His gaze passed through the door that was almost blocked by Allen, and landed on the baron's handsome face, his eyes turning from wariness to joy.
"Arthur, your guards, don't seem to recognize me."
The cloaked man's voice is soft and pleasant, like a yellow warbler.
He took off his hood with his backhand, revealing a delicate face.
Skinny little girl in a snow-white dress.
Stepping on high heels, he is less than 1.5 meters tall.
The chest is slightly raised, and it looks like an elementary school student.
"Lily!"
Kelly recognized his fiancée at a glance through the memories of the ancestral spirit.
Alan rubbed his nose and flashed to the side in a whimsical look.
Lily excitedly trotted all the way and threw herself into her fiancé's arms.
Lily, the youngest daughter of Earl Lancer, is weak in body but extremely intelligent.
Lily is deeply in love with her fiancé Arthur and is the best friend of Arthur's twin sister Anna.
Kelly fuses with Anna's ancestral spirit, but meets Lily as Arthur.
Alan could see that her sister was not quite comfortable with the complex identity she played.
Holding the petite Lily, I don't know what to say.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Lily noticed that the lover was unusually silent, and thought that he was angry with the Earl, and was angry with her.
He sighed and opened his mouth faintly.
"Arthur, maybe you don't believe it, but I'm still going to say ......"
"My father, and my eldest brother, are indeed moved to regret their marriage."
"But I myself, I dare to swear to the ancestral spirit, I have no such intention!"
"Arthur, I know you've been wronged, but please don't blame me, okay?"
"These days, I'm also doing everything possible to save the marriage contract."
"Please believe me, my dear, we will work together to break through the obstacles and achieve happiness!"
"If you're going to give up, I'm ...... I don't want to live anymore! ”
As she spoke, Mademoiselle Countess choked up.
Kelly couldn't bear to see her crying.
Holding her hand, he said softly, "Lily, don't get excited, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”
Then, he threw a majestic glance at his brother.
"Alan, close the door and don't let outsiders in."
"Yes! My lord! ”
Alan closed the door and bolted it, crossed his hands on his hips, and stood guard at the door.
Ears pricked up, a vigilant face, like a gangster thug.
Lily took the handkerchief from her fiancé and wiped her tears.
glanced up at Allen, and there was no fear in his eyes.
"Arthur, Alan is your squire? I haven't seen it before. ”
"It's not just a squire, it's my lifelong friendship, half-brother!"
Kelly had a straight face.
"My dear, don't worry if you have anything to say, Alan, your mouth is strict enough, and it is absolutely reliable."
"He's so tall, he's as strong as a bear, it's scary!"
Lily whispered as she stole at Ellen.
"It's not ugly, of course, it's far worse than you."
Kelly smiled understandingly.
"Don't look at others as tall and big, in fact, they are gentle and kind in their hearts, and they are very chivalrous."
Lily peeked at Alan, skeptical of her fiancé's assessment.
"Arthur, do you know why my father was so cold to you that he even deliberately repented of his marriage?" Mademoiselle Countess is down to business.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with my uncle, who has a disobedient heart."
Kelly picked up the teacup and replied indifferently.
Lily nodded and said softly, "Your uncle, General Gundorf, has long intended to rebel and usurp the throne. ”
"I was patient until your father died, and my ambition was revealed."
"A month ago, Gundorf sent an envoy to meet with my father and offer him a generous gift, asking him to remain neutral in the power struggle in Mulan Province, and after the matter is completed, there will be a lot of thanks."
"My father is still hesitating, worried that you are too young and have no foundation to win against General Gundorf, who is accustomed to seeing bloody storms."
"What's more, most of the army in Mulan Province is in the hands of Gundorf......"
"My eldest brother Leon, you know, he doesn't have a lot of brains, he only wants to be competitive."
"Two times before, you refused to participate in the knightly jousting hosted by Leon, Leon felt that you were deliberately refuting his face, and everyone called you a sissy and a coward......"
"Therefore, Leon is not optimistic about you sitting on the throne of the lord."
"Humph!" Kelly slapped the table angrily and shook the teacup.
Lily hurriedly hugged her lover's arm, her face full of sadness.
"Arthur, don't be angry! No matter what others do, I will always be on your side. ”
Kelly took her hand and naturally brought it into the character, with affection in her eyes.
"Lily! Leave your dad and brother alone, elope with me! ”
Lily was taken aback by her lover's words.
looked at Kelly with a complicated expression.
"Arthur, you've changed...... It's like a different person. ”
Well?!
Kelly's face froze, and she quietly grasped the dagger at her waist.
Be prepared to riot and kill people as soon as possible!
Alan saw her sister's motives and was powerless to complain......
Just now, I was going to elope with my sister with an affectionate face.
found out that it was possible for the girl to recognize her identity, and immediately changed her face, not afraid of killing people.
It's you, my sister!
Alan felt that it was fortunate that Kelly was a girl.
If he is born as a man, with this ruthless and decisive heart, he is also a hero!
Miss Countess was trapped by love, and did not notice the cruelty in her lover's eyes at all.
Holding Kelly's hand, she said stupidly: "In the past, you have always lived under Anna's wing, like a little boy. ”
"Now you have changed, you have become brave, decisive, like a real man!"
"Arthur, I like your change, my love for you is deeper than ever......"
Kelly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quietly retracting the dagger, and affection returned to her eyes.
"Lily, my love, I can't live without you."
"Please believe that no matter what happens, I will not let you be harmed!"
"Arthur......" Lily's eyes reddened with emotion.
If it weren't for the presence of another guy who was in the way, he could hardly help but kiss his lover.
"Arthur, I want to go with you too, but what happens after the elopement?"
Miss Countess is still sane after all.
"It's not hard for us to elope, but how are you going to deal with my furious father and brother?"
"The consequence of this is to force them to completely fall to the side of General Gundorf."
Kelly had to admit that Lily's concerns were realistic.
"Alas! The situation is stronger than people, it seems that I can only accept your father's offer and strive to win the championship in the martial arts competition, and then your father will have nothing to say! ”
Lily nodded, breaking away from her lover's embrace.
"Arthur, I'll help you defeat your opponents in the jousting ring."
Kelly looked at the emaciated girl suspiciously.
Looking at her weak appearance, how can she help?
Lily smiled slightly, opened the storage bag, and took out a set of breastplates and a long sword.
Weapons and armor are all Level 1 enchanted equipment.
Kelly pulled out the sword from the sheath, the silver light was clear, and it was a silver refining product!
"Arthur, armor and sword, you use them in jousting."
"Most of the knights who came to participate in the tournament this time were beastly nobles, and their ancestral spirits protected their bodies, and they were hard to hurt if they were iron."
"Only enchanted silver can pierce their beast charm."
Lily explained.
Her so-called "beast nobleman" is a violent flow warlock who awakens the beast bloodline.
The so-called "beast protection spell" is the supernatural damage reduction armor obtained by the atavistic transformation of the beast warlock above the second order.
Beast armor, similar to the secret method of refining the body.
Based on your physical attributes, a certain amount of physical damage is negated.
Weapons fused with silver or mythril are not hindered by this charm.
This is the so-called "silver weapon".
Ordinary silver refining weapons can only penetrate second-order beast armor.
To deal with the third-order beast armor, it is not enough to have a silver refining weapon.
At least one order of enchantment effects must be added to this.
The sword that Lily gave to Kelly was a first-order enchanted silver sword.
Alan watched this scene and naturally had a guess:
The opponent of this martial arts tournament shouldn't have a third-order powerhouse, right?
Kelly is only in the early stage of the first order......
That's still a yarn, it's almost a death-defying game!
Fortunately, Lily's next words dispelled his concerns.
"At this year's martial arts conference, my eldest brother Leon will also participate."
"Leon's strength, you know, late second-order, lion blood."
"The other favourites are Lord Robert of the Wilwolf family."
"The Wilwolf family, known as the 'nobles of wolves', inherits the werewolf bloodline."
"Robert, who is also in the late stage of the second order, is not inferior to Leon in strength."
"Both Leon and Robert are proficient in the secret art of alchemy, and they have further strengthened the second-order beast armor, ordinary silver alchemy weapons, and they are ineffective."
"This enchanted silver sword is a must-have on your way to winning the championship!"
After listening to Lily's story, both Kelly and Alan breathed a sigh of relief.
In the late stage of the second order, it is not an opponent that Kelly can match at present.
However, with the sword in hand, there is still a silver lining to win!
"Arthur, Robert doesn't matter, but when you play against my eldest brother, remember to be merciful."
Lily admonished with some concern.
"I don't want this sword I gave you to end up being a murder weapon that ruined my brother's life."
Kelly nodded solemnly and took note of her advice.
Alan listened from the side, with a vague sense of foreboding.
According to the routine of myths and legends, the princess, who turned her elbow outward, gave the prince a sword to deal with her own family......
It's always been the head of the ground, how can there be any mercy?!
I hope my sister will be measured and don't let Lily do the funeral.
Then, Lily took out another pair of magic rings.
Put one on yourself, and the other on your lover with your own hands.
This is a pair of "telepathic rings" that allow the wearer to communicate with each other within a hundred meters.
Lily was strictly guarded by her parents and brother, and she sneaked out today at a great risk.
In the future, it will be difficult for her to find an opportunity to come out and have a tryst with her lover.
With this pair of magic rings, even if they can't see each other, it doesn't prevent the two from passing on their hearts.
"Lily, thank you for giving so much for me."
Kelly couldn't help but hug Miss Count, bow her head and kiss it.
Lily shyly pandered.
Completely forgot that there was another person, watching from the side.
When kissing affectionately, Kelly had mixed feelings.
Although she turned into a man with the help of magic, she is still a daughter's heart after all.
Pretending to be a younger brother to make a girlfriend, it feels weird......
At that moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Allen's face changed slightly, and he blocked the door for the first time.
Boom!
The door was slammed into the room!
Alan pressed the deadbolt and resisted it with all his might!
Bang bang bang!!
The slamming of the door became more and more violent.
Outside the door, a man's scolding came:
"Bastard thing! Don't open the door yet! ”
Miss Earl heard that it was her brother's voice, and hurriedly left her lover's arms and hurriedly straightened her sideburns and clothes.
Kelly turned to look at the door, her face gloomy.
"Alan, open the door! Let them come in and talk! ”
Alan pulled out the bolt and stepped aside.
Boom!
The door was violently kicked open.
Two young men barged in.
The blonde youth at the head is none other than Lily's brother Leon.
He was followed by a black-haired young man with an angry look on his face.
This person is the eldest young master of the wolf family, Lord Robert, and the first heir to the Wilwolf family.
Long before Lily and Arthur got engaged, Robert was Lily's most fervent suitor.
Helplessly, compared to the rude and domineering Robert, Lily prefers a gentle and beautiful boy like Arthur.
Robert was deeply jealous of Arthur for this.
Several times I wanted to use the name of the competition to eradicate the rival in the dueling arena.
Arthur saw that he was not well-intentioned, refused to participate in the tournament, and did not give him a chance to kill him.
Because of this, Robert mocked Arthur for being cowardly and unworthy of the earl's daughter.
"Leon, Robert, what are you trying to do when you break into my room?"
Kelly sank her face and put herself on the Baron's shelf.
"Are you too embarrassed to ask me?" Leon's eyes lit up, "What are you and my sister trying to do hiding in the house?!" ”
"Leon, are you blind?"
Kelly retorted coldly.
"Not to mention that Lily and I have a marriage contract, it is reasonable to date in private."
"Take a step back, can't you see that in addition to me and Lily, there are also my personal guards in the house?!"
Alan stepped forward at the right time and bowed slightly.
"I've seen two lords!"
Leon then noticed that there was still a big man in the house.
Of course, he knew that his sister was not a disorderly woman.
It is impossible to have an affair with Arthur in front of outsiders.
In other words, he rushed to catch the traitor......
Caught a lonely!
On the contrary, it is out of the foreign appearance, and it is embarrassing.
"Robert! What are you doing! Leon was furious, "I haven't found out anything clearly, so let me accompany you to catch ...... It's inexplicable! ”
The young master of the wolf family was also full of embarrassment.
Kelly sneered, and in front of him, took Miss Countess into her arms.
The naked provocation made Robert so angry that he was so jealous that he went crazy!
"Little bastard! Let go of your dog's paws! I don't allow you to blaspheme Lily like that!! ”
"Huh! Lily, can you call her by her first name? ”
Kelly's right arm tightened the slender waist of Miss Count, and despite her shyness, she forcibly took the belt into her arms, showing domineering!
"I'm making out with my fiancée, what about you?!"
"Lily and I, we are in love, what are you pointing fingers at us?!"
Kelly seemed to be smiling, and every word pierced Robert's nerves deeply.
"What, you're jealous?"
"I'm sorry, I wanted to invite you to my wedding to Lily."
"Since you're so uninteresting, forget it."
"On the night of the candles in the cave room, when you enjoy the joy of fish and water, I don't want to hear you crying outside the window, ruining the scenery."
"Arthur! You brute! I'll kill you!! ”
Robert couldn't bear it anymore and drew his sword angrily.
Allen's eyes lit up, and he strode sideways, blocking his sister and Miss Count's back.
Lily also lowered her face and said to her brother in a loud voice:
"Leon! This is Earls' Court! ”
"Robert committed murder in front of you, trying to murder your own sister, and you were the elder brother, just watching from the sidelines?"
"Lily! I'm not! I didn't mean to hurt you! Robert quickly explained, "I want to kill Arthur—"
"Arthur is my fiancé! He's dead, and I don't want to live! Lily asked sharply, "What is the difference between you trying to murder Arthur and killing me?!" ”
Robert was struck by lightning, and his face instantly lost its color.
Leon hurriedly snatched his sword and persuaded, "Forget it! It's just a misunderstanding, let's go! ”
Robert was dragged out of the door by Leon, unwillingly.
He turned his head sharply, glared at Kelly, and gritted his teeth.
"Coward! You're just going to pay lip service! ”
"You can't escape this martial arts competition!"
"Wash your neck and wait!"
"I swear in the name of the ancestors of the Will Wolf family—"
"I will definitely cut you under the sword with my own hands, and I will be ashamed of the snow today!!"
……
Seeing Leon and Robert leave, Lily's eyes became a little more melancholy.
"Arthur, I can't stay here for a long time, and I have important things to tell you before I leave."
"First of all, you need to prepare a good mount for tomorrow's competition!"
"I've got a steed—" Before Kelly could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a wave of Lily's hand.
"No matter how good a horse is, it's useless!"
"Do you know what Leon and Robert are riding?"
Lily asked herself.
"My eldest brother's mount is a fierce lion!"
"Robert's mount is a winter wolf!"
"You rode into battle, and before you even fought, you lost by seven points!"
Kelly was stunned: "Riding a Warcraft competition, isn't it a foul?" ”
"This is a new rule introduced in this competition, and the contestants can choose one mount of their own, and there is no limit to horses."
Lily explained with a wry smile.
"Smart as you are, it's not difficult to see through, my father made this new rule, on the one hand, to ensure that Leon and Robert were promoted, and on the other hand, to ...... It's also hard for you. ”
Allen's heart moved, and he stepped forward and asked Lily, "In that case, Lord Arthur can also choose a magical beast to act as a mount?" ”
"Of course."
"Is it okay to ride a griffon?"
"Uh...... I'm afraid not. ”
Lily quickly shook her head.
"Land mounts only!"
Alan was secretly disappointed.
I plan to help my sister domesticate a powerful demonic beast and use a mount to make up for the gap in her own strength.
It's a pity that the tournament will start tomorrow, and it's too late to go hunting in the wild.
Lily opened the storage bag and pulled out a scroll.
"Arthur, in my zoo, there are lions and tigers."
"You take this 'Turning Beasts into Friends' scroll, enter the Zoo in my name, and domesticate a beast of prey as a mount."
"Ordinary lions and tigers, although not as good as fierce lions and winter wolves, can barely fight."
"Thank you, Lily, for putting me through so much, but ......"
Kelly groaned, looking strange.
"I prefer leopards to ligres."
"Leopard ......?"
Lily froze for a moment and shook her head slightly.
"Leopards, there are also in the zoo, but they are too thin to be mounted."
"Ordinary leopards can't do it, but I happen to have a particularly strong leopard at home, which is stronger than a lion and a tiger, and is suitable for my mount!"
Kelly smiled confidently.
Seeing that her lover was so confident, Lily didn't persuade her, and pulled out two bottles of magic potion from her treasure-like storage bag.
"If you encounter Robert in the jousting ring, remember to take the potion in advance, and so does the mount!" Lily told her lover, "After taking the medicine, you can temporarily obtain the 'Cold Resistance Enchantment'. ”
Robert's mount, the Winter Wolf, bites with freezing damage and can also spit extremely cold air!
Lily offered these two magic potions, apparently to fight the Winter Wolves.
The "Cold Resistance Enchantment" obtained after taking the medicine can cancel out some of the cold damage.
Lily told all the information she knew and helped her lover prepare a plan in advance.
Finally, she stuffed a small bottle of perfume to Kelly.
"This is a secret weapon against my eldest brother, you put it away!"
Kelly took it and sniffed it curiously.
The perfume bottle has a faint spicy scent and smells like wormwood.
In terms of herbal knowledge, Alan is far richer than his sister.
I took the perfume bottle from her hand, and after a little identification, I knew it.
This herb is not poisonous to humans.
In his previous life, Alan had eaten a cold salad made by this thing.
Even in this world, my father would use it to brew beer and give it a special flavor, which is called "craft beer".
It's strange that Leon is afraid of this thing......
Thinking of Leon's beastly bloodline in a blink of an eye, it seemed to make sense.
Alan avoided Lily's gaze and popped out a bone spur in his left palm.
The liquid in the bottle is drawn and stored in the poison glands.
In this way, the venom glands can synthesize themselves and be easily released in battle.
It's all said to have been explained.
Lily and her lover hugged and kissed goodbye and quietly left.
Kelly closed the door and turned to look at her brother with a smile.
"Alan! Become a blue leopard, my sister will ride you to the martial arts competition! ”
"Sir, please respect yourself!" Eren looked serious.
Kelly was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that someone might be spying outside the window.
put away his smile and said lightly: "Alan, prepare the horse!" Accompany me to the suburbs for a walk, and practice by the way! ”
Alan was speechless.
Kelly, this guy, it seems that he has to ride his brother into battle!
