After breakfast, it was the bearded teacher's class, Talilu and I listened quietly for another morning, and then in the afternoon, we separated, my dad took me to learn swordsmanship, and then my mom took Talilu to learn magic, to be honest, I was a little reluctant to part with Talilu, although we had only known each other for three days, but we were already very good friends!

Dad led me to a large clearing, not too far from the Earl's Court, ten minutes by carriage, accompanied by Uncle Ulris. There were quite a few people in the clearing, and some horses, so it was probably a place to train knights.

"Nia, you're going to learn swordsmanship in the city. Dad took me out of the carriage and said, then turned back to Uncle Yuris and said, "Yuris, you can wait for me in the carriage, and I will be back soon." ”

"Yes, Lord Count. Uncle Yuris saluted.

"Daddy, are you leaving soon?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Yes, your dad and I'm busy!" Dad smiled and scratched my head, grinning widely, "Arni, you have to study hard, I'll come back to pick you up before dinner." ”

"Well, good. ”

Then Dad led me into the clearing, and in a few moments Dad beckoned to an uncle who saw us in the distance, who was as strong as a bear, and a bearded uncle...... I can't help but think of Mr. Hook, another bearded man...... The one before was Whitebeard, and now this one is Blackbeard...... Eh, whitebeard, blackbeard, such a familiar word......

Uncle Blackbeard strode over and said in his big voice, "Hey!

"Hi, Burton. Dad raised his hand to greet him, and then turned to me and said, "Nia, he's Bolton Tablanton." The teacher in charge of calling you swordsmanship from today is a friend of my father's. ”

"Hahahaha, old friend, you're joking. Blackbeard Bolton grew his mouth, laughed haha, and spit stars flew wildly, and then walked over, patted me on the back with his big thick hand and said, "You must be Niya! Hahahaha, don't worry, I will teach you to be as strong as I am!"

"Hmm......" I replied weakly, giving him a feeble look, of course not being seen by him, I thought, if I became as strong as you...... Who wants me, eh, isn't there still Talilu...... No, I've got to keep my good image in front of Tali Lou!

"Burton, Nia is up to you!" Dad smiled slightly...... Well, I couldn't find any words to describe my father, so I had to use this...... "He wants to use the honor of a knight to protect the 'princess' in his heart~"

"Haha, yes! just like your dad!" Bolton slapped my back again with his big hand...... Oh, I want to vomit blood......

"Damn, Burton, don't expose me in front of my son!" said Dad with a sneer.

"Hahahaha......"

Blackbeard Bolton and Dad chatted for a while, and Dad left, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell me to learn from Bolton Knight, by the way, this Blackbearded Uncle Bolton Tabranton is a real knight, but I think he should be a berserker with a big round shield and an axe.

"Nia!" suddenly Uncle Bolton called my name.

"Yes!" I quickly replied, and glanced at Uncle Bolton who was standing aside, not knowing where he had just run and returned with two swords.

"Well, that's good. He looked at me with admiration, then held out his two swords to me and asked me in a loud voice, "Nia gives you a test, which one do you like?"

I looked at the sword in Uncle Bolton's hand in a daze, a golden sword, inlaid with several gorgeous gems, carved very vividly, at first glance it is a sword from the hand of a very powerful craftsman, and the gems on it are also very weighty, however, it is expected that the whole sword will not be expensive, it is almost a gold coin, of course, this is for the nobleman of Arni, such a sword is a better ordinary family's expenses for a month, if it is some poor family, save some flowers can eat for three or four monthsThis sword is enough to buy the cheapest plaything in that Durex! And the other one, which is much more shivering, is simply a broken iron sword, and the cost may be less than a silver coin. (One gold coin equals one hundred silver coins, one silver coin equals one hundred copper coins)

"Which one do you want?" said Uncle Bolton, seeing that I didn't react, shook the two swords in his hand and smiled.

......I looked at his smile, and then at the people around me, there were a few children looking here, and it seemed that they should also be training here, and they were all curious to see what choice I would make.

"This one!" I reached out and grabbed the one in Uncle Bolton's hand...... A golden sword studded with gems! The sword is so heavy...... Suddenly, Uncle Burton's smile stopped, but he didn't know how to take it back, as if frozen, listened, frowned, and quickly covered his face with a few black lines, and then the people around listened to what they were doing, and looked at me in surprise, they all held a sword in their hands that was the same as the iron sword in Bolton's hand.

"Nia ...... Why did you choose this one?"

"It's pretty......" I replied.

"But don't you see the children around you, and the knights, all of them have iron swords in their hands, and why do you choose a beautiful sword?" Uncle Bolton took the iron sword in his hand and plunged it into the ground, and then he let go of his hand, and the sword stood on the floor.

"But...... Does it matter......" I asked, confused.

"Let me tell you a story, there were two woodcutters, they were going to build a house, and a monk passed by and gave them two axes, one was a jade axe, and the other was an iron axe, and the first woodcutter chose the jade axe at once, and the monk took out another jade axe, and asked the second woodcutter which one you want, but the second woodcutter chose the second, and finally the second woodcutter cut down a big tree and built a wooden house, and the first woodcutter he didn't build it, do you know why?" asked Bolton with a smile.

"Hmm......" I looked down and thought for a moment, then raised my head and said, "The jade axe can't cut down the tree, it's broken!"

"Well, you're smart. Bolton smiled and took the golden sword in my hand, then thrust it into the floor as well, and asked, "Which one do you want this time?"

"Uh-huh...... "This is the second time...... I thought about it for a moment, then slowly reached out and took the ...... The sword that was studded with jewels of gold......

"Forehead......" Burton's smile froze again, and everyone around me stared at me with wide eyes, and they all thought: No, I heard me right......

"Nia, did you understand the story from before?" asked Burton, who immediately straightened his expression.

I listened to his question and nodded.

"Then why did you choose this golden sword?" said to Burton, pointing to the people around him, "Look, one of them here has this golden sword in his hand?"

"Hmm......" I said, looking around, "no ......"

"So, sue me, son, which one do you?" said Burton, turning his head again, and letting go of his voice, for this was the third time he had asked me, and I couldn't understand why he kept asking me......

"Hmm...... This one!" I pointed to the golden sword......

Burton's face twitched, and the people around him looked at this place in great amazement, since they came to this training ground, everyone had done this training, and obviously, the last ones who remained were the ones who chose the iron sword, this Bolton Tablanton, his test, was to test the consciousness of these students as knights, and this test was to test the quality of the students. The eight spirits of knights: humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, spirit, honesty, justice, as a knight must need very good qualities to abide by these spirits well, and those who come here are some smart people, everyone has heard the story when they were young, and naturally they all understand that they should choose the iron sword.

"Why?" Bolton walked up to me, crouched down, looked at my face and asked, "I'm sure you're very smart, and you should know what I mean when I told you so much, right?

"Because ......," I paused and explained to Burton, "didn't you ask me which one I liked and which one to choose?"

"......" Burton stood silently, and the people around him swallowed a mouthful of saliva when they saw this scene, thinking to themselves that this little nobleman was a fool? Didn't you see that Burton was already angry? Is he here to be honest with this great knight?

"Hahahaha!" Surprisingly, at this time, Bolton suddenly stood up and laughed loudly, grabbed the two swords stuck in the ground and asked, "Why do you like this sword?"

"It's beautiful!"

"But the story I told you before should have reminded you that this is the right thing to do with a flashy sword?" said Bolton, holding up the golden sword, "If you are on the battlefield, you take this sword and kill people...... The enemy has a sword in his hand, but you have a handicraft in his hand!"

"If it was an artifact, I wouldn't have brought it to the battlefield, I would have sold it and bought a real sword!" I said, holding my head high.

"Hehe, you're very business-minded, you're already a nobleman, you shouldn't be short of money, but I'm interested in what you just said, 'If'!" Bolton suddenly had a playful smile on his face, and handed me the golden sword, "Don't you think it's a craft?"

"Yes!" I said, taking the sword.
