The old housekeeper explained the matter clearly without any tact, and it was obvious that he did not want to interfere too much.
This is understandable. After all, they are vassals of Marquis Balan, not someone else. Regardless of salary, fief, food and drink expenses, they all pay for it themselves. Strictly speaking, Lin Cai is free to eat and drink.
That one. But for a man who is a teacher, taking things from his apprentices is not considered as free money, it is called tuition fees.
Putting aside his status in the family for the time being, Lin was mentally prepared for the visit of the Holy Sword Society. After all, Duke Kawei had given him a warning a long time ago.
But even if he knew that the other party would come, he couldn't make much preparation. What would be the attitude of the Holy Sword Club? Should filling in a form be considered as approval, or would it have to go through a series of tests? Can the other party be reasonable and negotiate terms?
?Or do you have a condescending attitude, as long as others cooperate and don't listen to other people's explanations?
Even with Kaya's forum search method, there is no way to get this information. This can only be said that Midi's network knowledge coverage is not comprehensive enough to know everything.
In fact, this is the same on Earth. It just means that some knowledge has been artificially hidden, whether it is Internet censorship or the existence of the so-called "dark web". Some are too old and there are no willing porters to move them.
Get things online.
In short, when such a guest comes, he can only meet him in person before he can formulate the next plan. As for meeting and killing, that kind of approach is too dark and not his style.
Wearing a Xuanwu robe is formal enough and safe enough. There is no need to change to meet guests. However, we were at an altitude of more than 9,000 meters just now, and the wind is strong there, so we still need to tidy up our appearance.
.
Lin asked the Marquise's old butler to receive the guests first, and he would arrive later. With this promise as a foundation, he thought that this noble butler would be better able to deal with those guests.
Since he was in his own home and faced with guests who were meeting him for the first time, Lin did not use the flash technique to scare people. Instead, he used the formal etiquette of aristocrats and entered the reception room to meet the guests under the guidance of the waiter.
As for why they behave like nobles in the magician's territory, I can only say that the main servants in this family are all from noble families, so it is natural to be affected in this way.
It was just the first meeting, and the atmosphere was not pleasant. Maybe the previous wait had worn away the patience of the guests of the Holy Sword Club; or maybe they had such an aggressive attitude. In short, before Lin said any polite words, he
First, someone pointed at himself and said: "Magician, you are not qualified to hold the Haggiri clan's artifact, please hand over the Haggiri in your hand."
Lin's face froze at such a direct attitude, and all the polite words he was going to say were blocked in his mouth. But the matter was not over yet. As if they already knew the attitude of their companions, the guests of the Holy Sword Club did not move.
He calmly adjusted his stance and quietly moved his hand to a position where he could quickly draw his sword.
All of this is done very secretly, and even from ordinary people's perspective, there is no clue.
But what kind of person is Lin, and what are the levels of the top fighters who appear around him? He has long regarded the characteristics and habits of these masters as a part of his own environment judgment, and it is easy to judge the movement status of his opponent's muscles.
Confirm the opponent's possible behavior with the position where you can exert force.
only……
After hesitating for a while, Lin reached out and pulled out the hakakiri under his left shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll hand the weapon to you."
…
For the target person to disarm so simply, the three members of the Holy Sword Club didn't know what to do for a moment. Fen, who had just returned, was also standing at the door of the reception room. She wanted to go in to support someone, but she stepped forward
Just frozen in mid-air.
Although Lin handed over the box, he realized that no one was willing to take it, so he put it on the table in the living room, then sat on the sofa on the other side, and asked the waiters to bring coffee. He had just blown it at high altitude.
There was a good gust of cold wind, and it would be nice to drink some hot drinks. As for no one who dared to take the Hakakiri from his hand, they were probably afraid of causing trouble and killing them in the process of changing hands. So he simply put it down voluntarily.
The richly dressed nobleman who led the Holy Sword Club said with a strange expression: "You...really handed over the weapons of the Haggiri clan just like that? Could this be a lie?"
"The ones you are bringing are genuine. Then you still don't know whether that one is a hakakiri." The magician sitting on the sofa pointed at the unsheathed long swords on the waists of the three guests.
.and asked: "Or do you think I have a second hakakiri? If I have a second weapon like this, I'm afraid I won't be crazy."
"Well, then, shall we take it away?" The nobleman in rich clothes asked tentatively while reaching for the hakakiri dagger placed on the table.
After Lin took the hot coffee from the waiter, he waved his hand and said, "Take it. Once you have taken it, please leave. I won't leave you to eat." The intention of seeing off the guests was quite obvious.
He stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed the hakiri dagger on the table. The nobleman in fine clothes and the two accompanying companions all had expressions of disbelief. This was because they had seen too many unbelievable things.
First of all, this Haggiri dagger was pulled out from a scabbard under the shawl on the left side of the magician. This scabbard was unimaginable for a magic weapon of the 'Haggiri' clan.
Furthermore, the Holy Sword will capture so many magical weapons of the Haggiri clan, and I have never encountered such a person handing them over so simply. Even if the holder is a magician, it is also rare.
Anyone who is qualified to hold a hakakiri is a strong warrior. Although magicians are also good at fighting skills, in their eyes, there is still a gap between them and real warriors. This is why they directly say that someone is not qualified.
One big reason.
Thirdly, this is the first time that the Hakiri clan has seen this kind of sword with a blade that is no longer than a palm long and has so many withered patterns on the sword. It is flashy and unrealistic, which is the first impression in the minds of the three of them. If they had not carried it with them,
The Hakakiri long sword in front of them confirmed that the short sword in front of them was indeed a member of their clan. The three members of the Holy Sword Club all thought that this magician just used a short sword to bluff people.
As for the impolite farewell behavior, it's really not a big deal. Now that Shakiri has been recovered, the three members of the Holy Sword Club have never thought of staying and accepting the hospitality of a 'magician'. If they give it to him
If there was a chance of poisoning, wouldn't it be foolish to die?
Moreover, with the items in hand, the purpose of the three people's stay was gone. The previous waiting had consumed too much of their patience. Now they didn't even have the thought to talk nonsense. The three of them, with their eyes high above their heads, just turned around and left.
That noble man in gorgeous clothes also knew that he performed a standard noble etiquette before leaving. This was just to prove to outsiders that he was not rude, and it didn't mean much.
