Although Luo Er was indeed coveted for the high prize money of this swordsmanship competition, since there were regulations, he had no choice but to give up with regret.
After all, he is a law-abiding, enthusiastic and model good citizen. Especially in front of his daughter, he must set an example and not engage in crooked ways such as lying about his age.
In fact, objectively speaking, setting such an age limit is a very reasonable consideration. It means that there will not be anyone who is too powerful on the field. Even Rohr knows that the age of the truly powerful people in this world is actually
They are all very big.
Without the fighting between gods, this swordsmanship competition is more in line with the positioning of holiday celebrations rather than professional competitions, is more suitable for the festive holiday atmosphere, and is safer.
Moreover, although he can't compete, doesn't he still have a daughter?
"Kelly, you are my pride!"
Luo Er put his hands on his daughter's shoulders and spoke seriously.
"I taught you your swordsmanship step by step, and this national swordsmanship competition is an excellent opportunity to hone your swordsmanship!"
"Although I know it will be difficult, a real swordsman must constantly overcome difficulties and challenge himself, so that he can see the higher scenery..."
He rambled on a lot, but Keli just asked:
"Dad, didn't you object to my participation before?"
"Ahem..."
Rohr couldn't help but coughed twice in embarrassment and swallowed back the long speech that followed.
This little bastard is actually trying to tear me down? Sure enough, I usually dote on her too much!
It seems that as a father, you really need to learn to let go!
But Keli suddenly smiled again, and she smiled very sweetly and sweetly. She imitated the way Luo Er usually treated her, stretched out her little hand and poked Luo Er's cheek, and said:
"Kiss me daddy, and I will forget everything you said before."
Luo Er was helpless and had no choice but to lightly press his lips on her forehead.
"whee!"
Keli smiled happily and nodded vigorously.
"Well! Don't worry, Dad, I will also participate and try my best to win the championship!"
Rohr did not answer in a hurry, but turned around and asked Anya first:
"Isn't it true that only the champion gets a bonus?"
Anya nodded and replied:
"As long as you enter the top eight, there will be a bonus, but it is not that high, only 100,000, then the top four will be 200,000, and the runner-up will be 400,000, and there are only bonuses and no other prizes."
"Yeah, yeah, it's okay, it's okay."
Rohr nodded with satisfaction.
Although the beautiful snowflakes in front of me have become much thinner, they have finally turned from snowflakes into money again.
So he pressed Keli's shoulders again and said seriously:
"Then, our goal this time is to secure eight and compete for one!"
"puff……"
Oriana on the side couldn't help laughing.
As a former champion, she certainly knows what level this 16-25 youth group has.
As for Keli, a star swordswoman who is famous for her swordsmanship, joining this group is simply to go fishing.
So this man’s reaction was actually deliberately being cute, right?
She felt a little funny in her heart, and couldn't help but ask:
"Are you short of money?"
Rolle nodded very frankly, not minding admitting that he was a poor man.
"Yes, although I have a job with a good income, the expenses for my daughter studying in the Imperial City will definitely be quite large. In the future, I will also consider buying a house in the Imperial Capital, getting married, etc. I will definitely have to find a way to save more money.
.”
This is only the reason stated on the surface.
In fact, there is another plan that I am embarrassed to say, which is to get some bonuses and build roads for the village.
After all, he couldn't participate in the competition and could only let his daughter participate. Of course, he couldn't express this idea in front of other women.
He actually loves face.
After hearing this, Oriana felt a little dumbfounded.
As the youngest eighth-level legend, Keli still maintains a close relationship with Princess Anya, and can basically be said to be in a state of economic freedom.
As a result, this man was talking seriously about saving money, and he really thought that I was being deceived by an ignorant little girl?
But should I be happy? Or angry?
Just when Oriana was hesitating about this question, Jeanne on the side keenly sensed an opportunity, and a wave of flashes suddenly cut through.
"Teacher, if you are really short of money, I still have some..."
After she came to the empire this time, she received a large amount of imperial aid. After rough distribution, the small remaining balance was used as pocket money for her, the leader and spokesperson of the sect.
Although it is not as much as the prize money for the top eight of the competition, there is still 30,000 East, and if Luo Er is really in urgent need of money, she is willing to spend all of it. At the worst, she will give up those beautiful new dresses.
As for the reason why Rohr was short of money, she didn't think much about it.
In the Guangfu Sect, if the teacher says there is no money, there is no money.
But Oriana, who missed the opportunity, quickly came to her senses and immediately said:
"It doesn't matter if you are short of money, I have money."
Rohr couldn't help but glance at the two girls with a puzzled look on his face, and said in a confused voice:
"I'm exaggerating. In fact, there is not that much need. You don't need to lend me money. I will find a way myself."
"Eh... I actually didn't say I was borrowing it..."
Oriana tried to refute, but Rolle violently changed the subject.
"Jeanna, why did you ask the investigation team to come to me?"
After chatting for a long time, he finally remembered the main purpose of his trip.
At the same time, he also made up his mind. If there was nothing important to do with Jean-Na, he would find a way to shirk it, and then seize the time to make up for his daughter's lessons and strive to get a higher ranking.
But something strange was that Jeanne was stunned for a moment and did not answer directly.
In fact, she simply wanted to see Luo Er.
On the one hand, I miss him.
On the other hand, I wanted to report to him on the situation in the sect during this period.
If possible, it would be great to walk around the bustling imperial capital with your teacher, have lunch together like a date, go to concerts, and go shopping hand in hand.
It's really nothing special.
But obviously, this argument is not reliable, and she needs a better reason.
So he suddenly became wise and asked:
"Your Highness Anya, can I sign up for this competition in your country?"
Anya frowned slightly, lowered her head and thought for a while, then replied:
"In principle, there are no nationality restrictions. I remember that people from the barbarian tribe came to participate in the past, but they were not very popular..."
"By the way, if your Majesty Jeanne wants to participate, which group do you plan to sign up for?"
Jeanne chuckled, whispered her age in her ear.
"Eh?!"
Anya was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Jeanne was actually one year younger than herself?
She couldn't help but look at Jeanne's proud figure, which was no less beautiful than Oriana's.
He looked down at himself again, and then glanced at Keli next to him.
Objectively speaking, strength is limited...
What did you people in the Fertile Valley eat to grow up?
And at such a young age, he is already the leader of a resistance organization, and as the leader of the organization, he has been received and valued by the empire's senior officials...
As the Duke's daughter, Anya is beautiful, elegant, and well-educated. Although she doesn't show it on the outside, she still feels very good about herself in her heart.
After meeting Keli, who was younger than him, this sense of self was destroyed.
As a result, now, it happens again...
Fortunately, with her accomplishments and open-mindedness, she was not jealous. On the contrary, after a little inferiority complex, she became quite happy inside.
Being able to meet more outstanding friends is something to be proud of, especially for a person of her status.
"Okay, I understand, and I will help Miss Jeanne register for the youth group."
Anya said quickly.
"Hmm, then please trouble Your Highness Anya."
Jeanne nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Jeanne in Rolle's arms, and said with a smile:
"I wonder if there is a chance to meet Miss Keli on the field?"
"snort!"
Keli raised her little head and said fiercely in a milky voice:
"If you meet me, will you watch Wo Bu beat Ni to tears?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Er grabbed his face.
"Who did you learn these strange words from?"
"Ouch ouch!"
Keli said with aggrieved face:
"Didn't I learn it all from you? You always liked to say this in the village."
Rolle was once again in embarrassment...
When he was reasoning with the villagers, he really liked to say this to threaten and build up his momentum.
In the end, the other person actually cried and admitted his mistake.
"Anyway, I won't say anything anymore, and Ni will make a promise in the future, but no, you won't be allowed to say anything in the future either!"
Luo Er had no choice but to act like his father and ordered forcefully.
Jeanne waited for their father-daughter interaction to end before she continued:
"Then, teacher, I hope that in the next period of time, you can take the time to give me some pointers on my swordsmanship."
"Although the purpose is to focus on participation, if the loss is too ugly, teacher, you won't be happy, right?"
Luo Er thought about it and thought it made sense, so he nodded and said generously:
"Okay, I understand, it's no problem, as long as you can endure hardship."
"Well, as long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of any hardships or obstacles."
Jeanne replied seriously, her light blue eyes still sparkling slightly.
Very suddenly, the second round of disputes started again.
But this time, because of Jeanne's sudden attack, Oriana fell into a passive position.
She was a little anxious and said quickly:
"Why are you like this? Then I too..."
She actually wanted to participate shamelessly and let Rohr teach her swordsmanship.
But after all, she has never been in love, so she doesn't have the shamelessness to actually participate in the competition.
She is still very well-known and often shows up with her true face, unlike Keli who always shows up in armor, so once she takes part in the competition, she will definitely be recognized.
The majestic Saint of Flame from the Empire would really lose face by participating in such a competition.
Oriana is still a very reserved girl.
But if you don't participate in the competition, you have no excuse to stay with Luo Er. You can only watch your man being snatched away by that little goblin!
Oriana was very anxious and her thinking became a little confused.
In this case, Keli will have no mother...
The babies in the future will have no father!
What can I do?
But just when she was at a loss, Luo Er took the initiative and said, as if suddenly enlightened:
"Could it be that...Ms. Oriana also wants to discuss swordsmanship together?"
Oriana didn't expect that Rohr would actually provide a breakthrough, and quickly took advantage of it, nodding her head.
"Yes, yes, since I last worked with Mr. Luo Er, I feel that I have benefited a lot. I have been looking for an opportunity to learn your superb swordsmanship again."
Luo Er still agreed generously:
"Is that so? That's no problem. You can come together. What about Miss Anya?"
Anya waved her hands repeatedly, declining Luo Er's kindness.
She can't even beat a goose, and she has no chance at swordsmanship or anything like that.
Oriana couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
You haven’t lost yet, you can still win!
So the matter was settled, and everyone made an appointment to meet at the Broken Blade Swordsmen's training ground tomorrow morning.
Then, it was almost time for dinner.
The location is still the 'high-end enjoyment' restaurant that Rohr praised so much last time, and it's still a wide table by the window.
And while Luo Er and others were feasting, another table in the distance next to it would sneak glances at it from time to time.
Sitting at that table were two weirdos dressed as imperial gentlemen and wearing black and white masks.
It was already weird to come to eat dressed up like this, not to mention that their table was filled with a large table of food, which was far more than the amount of food for two people. Moreover, after only a small taste of each dish, they were very impressed.
He pushed it aside in disgust.
But there were people coming and going in the hotel, but no one noticed these strange things, as if these two people didn't exist at all.
"Mortal food is so unpalatable that it can't be compared with the food in the village. This is the most popular restaurant in the imperial capital? It's really funny."
A masked man made a loud voice and mocked mercilessly.
A'er still didn't speak, just looked at him through the mask.
"I don't know why the village chief likes him, just like I don't know why those two women have intentions for the village chief. Do they think they are worthy of the village chief?"
Not sure what Ah Er conveyed with his eyes, Ah Da followed with a wry smile and said:
"...You don't have to think like this, ants don't deserve to have fantasies? Aren't you and I just ants?"
"Well, since the village chief seems to be enjoying it, we don't need to bother him. Maybe the village chief has a woman outside and can save us a lot of trouble? This is also a good thing..."
As Ada spoke, he stood up from the table, picked up his cane, and then their figures, together with the seriously wasted things on the table, disappeared into the air.

I won’t make a list for this chapter now. I’ll see if I can add another chapter tomorrow and I’ll make a list then.
