133. Disillusionment

Because of Keli's sudden intervention, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward, and the girls didn't know what to say to break the deadlock.

Only Rolle acted quite calmly, still poking his daughter's soft face with his fingers, not reading the air at all.

Fortunately, Anya was there and she spoke in time:

"Ah, by the way, Victory Day is next week. There will be many lively celebrations then. Is there anything you are interested in?"

As soon as they heard that they could eat, drink and have fun, everyone present, including Rohr, cheered up.

"It seems that I'm very lucky. This time I came here just in time for such a lively festival."

As Jeanne spoke, her mind began to have random thoughts again.

When the time comes, invite the teacher to attend art exhibitions, concerts, etc., right? This should be the elegant enjoyment that Imperial people should have...

The teacher should agree, right? If he refuses, just act coquettishly, and he should agree, right?

However, what should I look like when the time comes? The beautiful clothes here in the Empire are so expensive...

Will passers-by mistake them for the teacher's couple? In that case, I will...

Although her thoughts were not very coherent and she still had a lot of ideas, it did not prevent her from thinking very absorbedly. As she thought about it, a blush crept up her cheeks unconsciously.

Orianna next to her followed and said:

"Celebrations in the city have always been like that. Apart from the large number of people, there is nothing new and they are also very noisy..."

"I think it's better to go out for a picnic. Find a secluded suburb and lie down and roll on the grass. It's more fun than attending those celebrations."

"But Miss Jeanne and His Highness Anya have to participate in various activities because of their status, right? There is no other way, so the three of us have to go."

After saying that, she looked at Luo Er eagerly, expecting him to agree.

As a result, before Roel could speak, Keli said first:

"Having a picnic is not fun at all. Teacher, should we stay in the city and participate in the celebration?"

For a child like her who grew up in the mountains, picnics are just like daily life and have no appeal.

Although Keli rejected Oriana's proposal, the other party was not angry, but was secretly happy.

Listen to the meaning behind Xiao Keli’s words. She specifically used the word ‘we’, which means that the three of us are together! It’s like a family!

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you go for a picnic or not, as long as the family is neat and tidy and don't get harassed by foreign goblins.

In this case, we will play around together during the day, and when it is night, we will put little Keli to sleep first, and then I can...

whee……

Oriana couldn't help but think of a series of things that adults would do at night, and her pretty face turned slightly red involuntarily.

Rohr looked a little puzzled.

Why is your face red again?

Sure enough, women, except my precious daughter, are all very strange creatures.

But let me tell you, the way they blush is quite cute...

Anya, who had been observing silently before and secretly noticed that the atmosphere was beginning to develop in a subtle direction, quickly cut in again and said:

"By the way, this year's celebration will hold the 'National Swordsmanship Competition' that is held every three years. Uncle Luo Er and Keli are both very good at swordsmanship. Do you want to participate? I can sign up for you."

As soon as they heard about the swordsmanship, the father and daughter immediately became energetic, their eyes widened in unison, and they almost agreed casually.

But he immediately calmed down and asked in unison:

"What kind of competition is this? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Anya just opened her mouth and was about to answer, but Oriana on the side said it first:

"Actually, this is like this. This can be regarded as a traditional celebration project. It is held every three years. At that time, swordsmanship masters from all over the country will gather to compete. The winner will receive huge bonuses and various generous benefits.

"

"Because it is a pure swordsmanship competition, you cannot use extraordinary powers or sacred objects. You can only use training wooden swords. It is a pure technical competition."

"The competition will be divided into three groups according to the age group of the players, namely the juvenile group, the youth group and the adult group. The age is divided into 16 and 25 years old."

She gave a very detailed answer, and finally said with a bit of pride:

"To be honest, I won the youth championship a few years ago and received many awards!"

Anya next to her couldn't help being stunned. She couldn't control herself for a moment and blurted out:

"Huh? That thing is not..."

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, she saw Oriana suddenly turn her head and give herself an extremely kind smile.

Anya knew that if she continued talking, maybe this smile would be the last scene she saw in her life.

In fact, Oriana didn't lie. She was indeed quite accomplished in swordsmanship, and she actually won the junior championship in the National Swordsmanship Competition. She also took this opportunity to gradually become famous in the empire.

But that was the old almanac decades ago.

So Anya can't tell the truth.

The Luol father and his daughter did not pay attention to this small detail. The father and daughter were looking at each other silently and communicating with each other with their eyes.

Keli tilted her head slightly, blinking her burgundy eyes quickly, her long eyelashes going up and down like brushes.

But Rohr remained unmoved. He pursed his lips and fell into thinking, while his right hand gently tapped the back of his left hand.

Finally, he shook his head and said:

"Otherwise, let's forget it?"

Mainly he is a little guilty and afraid of losing.

After all, my image in my daughter's mind has always been that of a strong, kind, gentle, considerate, elegant, easy-going, humble, low-key, knowledgeable, and versatile father. He can be called the perfect old father.

.

With unparalleled strength and extraordinary abilities, he is a legend that will be remembered forever. If he is willing to serve in the empire, he must at least be the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army.

He also holds a series of titles that are both cool and heavy, such as Unparalleled Sword Demon, Fighting Emperor Celestial Lord, Demon King of Time, Lord of Mysteries, etc.

Although when I persuaded people in the village, I never lost; when I went out to see the market, I didn't meet anyone who was too exaggerated...

If you get into the ring and accidentally lose the game, or even get beaten up by other good players and strong men...

Isn’t this a breakdown in character?

To be on the safe side, it’s better not to participate. Presumably in a competition of this nature, the honor is greater than the actual reward, and the prize money shouldn’t be that high?

While he was thinking, he heard Jeanne from the countryside asking like a curious baby:

"If you win in the end, how much bonus will you get?"

But she was not asking about Oriana, who had once won the championship, but Anya.

"Well... although the bonuses are increasing every session, they are actually not much..."

Anya was a little embarrassed and seemed a little embarrassed as she said a number:

"Just over a million East, right?"

Everyone present except Oriana was stunned.

One million esters…

In front of Luo Er's eyes, he seemed to see stacks of banknotes falling like snowflakes, hitting him on the head so hard that stars appeared in front of his eyes.

But it’s not enough! A little more!

Needless to say, Jeanne, the money converted into the currency of the Fertile Valley can buy several cars of armor and firearms!

Before her eyes, she seemed to see pieces of armor and muskets falling down like a landslide, hitting her head so hard that the pain made her burst into tears.

But it’s not enough! Be more cruel!

Even Keli, whose annual income now exceeds one million, is still hungry for this money.

In front of her eyes, she seemed to see beautiful little skirts falling like snowflakes, and they were put on her body, turning her into the most beautiful girl in the empire.

But it’s not enough! Be more beautiful!

Oriana and Anya looked at each other, and they reached a certain consensus in their eye contact:

Isn’t this pocket money-level money?

Suddenly feel like you can't communicate with them?

It was Rohr who came to his senses first and asked quickly:

"Miss Anya, please sign up for me!"

Anya was stunned for a moment, nodded subconsciously, and then asked:

"I would like to ask you, Uncle Luo Er, how old are you this year?"

This question seemed very interesting. Jeanne and Oriana secretly pointed their ears, looking forward to Rolle's answer.

"To be honest, I am 42 years old this year."

Luo Er answered truthfully, stretched out his hand to twist the stubble on his chin, and asked with a smile:

"Hey, you didn't expect it, did you? Didn't you see it? You didn't expect me to be so old, did you?"

In fact, according to objective standards, Luo Er's face really doesn't look as old as someone in his forties, but more like someone in his early thirties, much younger than those mobile game players on the planet.

His hairline is very healthy, and he is much stronger than programmers on earth. He never retreats and sticks to his position.

This is mainly because he exercises regularly and takes good care of his body. He has no worries about food and clothing, has no psychological burden or pressure, and is happy every day, so he naturally does not look old.

Keli in her arms became excited when she heard this. She quickly took off her little leather shoes, revealing her little feet in white stockings. Then she stepped on Rolle's thigh, stretched out her little hand and pinched her father's face, mouth

He said quite proudly:

"Dad is always young!"

After saying that, he took the opportunity to give Luo Er a sweet scent on his face.

After Jeanna and Oriana heard this answer, a thought came to their minds:

Are you only 42 years old?

Much younger than expected?

It can't be so young, right?

Sure enough, men are all big pig hooves, the best at lying...

Both of them have a certain understanding of Rolle's strength, but at the same time, unlike Keli, they refuse to accept common sense.

In Jeanne's mind, she had secretly speculated that Rolle's age should be around 200 years old.

Because the legend of the Gray King dates back more than 80 years, and considering that the Gray King was not so awesome from birth, it would take at least more than 100 years to become as powerful as he is, which makes the legendary scholars tremble.

.

She felt that her reasoning was sound and convincing.

And this age is actually not a hindrance. Jeanne also learned through her former teacher Macmillan that the appearance of powerful people in high positions will not age after they reach a certain level.

For example, the miraculous illusionist, Lord Trenwell, looked like he was only about 40 years old when he lay in the coffin.

And according to folk rumors, on his 200th birthday, he married his 20th wife, a beautiful girl who was nearly 16 years old.

Therefore, the teacher will definitely be able to maintain his current handsome, mature, profound, and slightly bohemian appearance for a long, long time. Maybe even if he becomes an old woman, he will not change.

But I hope he won’t marry so many wives like Lord Trenwell...

From the perspective of the Saint of Fire, Oriana, she felt that Rolle should be around 160 years old, and compared with him, she was still a young and beautiful girl.

Because she is a ninth-level powerhouse and has a deeper understanding of the extraordinary realm and age issues than Jeanne, Oriana is confident that her estimate of Rolle's age must be accurate.

So she was basically sure that Luo Er was lying.

Haha, man...

If Luo Er was really only 42 years old, she would be a little embarrassed.

My ideal partner should be older and more mature, so that he can take good care of himself and protect himself.

Although Oriana has heard from other women that young people are more sexually happy, she has never experienced it and doesn't care much about it.

As a result, only Anya, who had never seen Luo Er take action, believed his words and echoed his words:

"Really? I really didn't expect Uncle Luo Er to be in his 40s."

She couldn't help but think of her father. Although he was only ten years older than Rohr, when he took office as Speaker, he was hailed as the 'Rising Star in Imperial Politics', 'The Youngest Speaker', 'New Hope in Politics' and so on. He was often attacked by political opponents for being too...

Young, too naive and so on.

But in actual appearance, my father is almost the same as an old man in his 60s.

She couldn't compare to a father like Luo Er who could make her sneak glances from time to time and make her heart beat slightly faster.

Once again, I failed.

But she suddenly remembered something, showed a very embarrassed expression, and said slightly apologetically:

"Ah... then... I'm sorry, Uncle Luo Er, I almost forgot one thing before. Your situation is a bit troublesome..."

"Because there were some unfortunate accidents in the last competition, new regulations were temporarily introduced this year. The maximum age can only be 40 years old."

Oriana also remembered this matter and took over the conversation:

"I also remember that incident. A certain honorable man in his 70s forced himself onto the stage and suffered a sudden heart attack. It seemed to have caused quite a stir at the time and made headlines in the newspaper."

When Luo Er heard this, he was a little confused.

The banknotes falling like snowflakes in front of me really turned into snowflakes, and I turned into a poor old man shivering in the heavy snow and cold wind.

--------

I'm very sorry, because I went out early in the morning and had a busy day. I went back to lie on the bed and said I would take a rest, but I accidentally fell asleep...

Really sorry.

I hope everyone can forgive me.

Here is today’s list:
