Chapter 187

The silly young master who was practicing swordsman turned around and saw Luo Er. He immediately showed an excited expression and ran over quickly, wiped his sweat, bowed respectfully, and then said:

"Nice to meet you, Master Luo Er!"

After saying that, he raised his head again and noticed Nido behind Luo Er. A flash of contempt and disdain flashed in his eyes. He didn't even say hello, completely treating this beautiful girl as nothing.

Nido took one look at him and quickly shrank behind Rohr, as if she was a little afraid of him, and also had a look of disgust on her face.

This Xiao, relying on his family's wealth, has practiced swordsmanship a few times, but his brain is not very bright yet. He is famous among the empire's dandy circles for being unruly and arrogant, even giving him no face as a prince.

However, this guy has been concentrating on practicing swordsmanship and has never made trouble with his neighbors, so although his reputation is not good, he is not very annoying.

But Nido seemed to be very jealous of the other person's appearance, and had no intention of greeting him proactively.

Rohr didn't care about the actions of these juniors. He had always been very optimistic about this kid. Although his talent was worse than Nido's, he was better because of his concentration and hard work. So when he saw that his training method was wrong, he gave some advice:

"Why do you need to practice like this? All the movements are deformed, which will not achieve the effect of exercise and will form bad habits..."

"When you are tired, you should take a good rest and don't push yourself too hard."

The young master nodded quickly, and then explained:

"Master, it's actually like this. Next month, there will be an important swordsmanship competition..."

He then talked about it with Rolle.

It turned out that yesterday, when a group of wealthy children in the imperial capital saw that the situation in the city had stabilized and that it was gradually returning to the days of feasting, entertainment, and extravagance, someone suggested that they simply continue the swordsmanship competition that had been suddenly interrupted.

For the people of the Empire, swordsmanship is not only a skill for killing enemies but also for self-defense. It is also a sport with a broad base of people and is popular among the upper class. The previous swordsmanship competition was very lively, and it was rare to wait for three years for it to be held again.

It was a pity that it was interrupted.

This proposal was immediately approved by many people. The previous swordsmanship competition came to an abrupt end due to the attack, which made people very unhappy. However, these young masters and ladies who were full and had nothing to do took out their money and started doing it themselves.

If the market is small, it should be used to make up for previous regrets.

The time is set in the middle of next month.

When Luo Er heard this, he immediately became interested and asked quickly:

"How much is the prize?"

The young master shook his head and said carelessly:

"I don't care about this. I only care about honor, not money."

Can’t you tell that this guy is quite visionary despite his young age?

Of course, it could also be because the family is too rich and doesn't care.

He then casually chatted with Rohr about the details of the event. The registration and participation were all limited to a small circle. They were all young people under the age of 35 in the imperial capital. They came from well-off families and were respectable. They did not publicize it in any big way, calling it a competition.

, actually just for my own entertainment.

Luo Er was no longer interested, and gave the other party a few random instructions before leading Nido to the office building of the Swordsmen Corps.

Halfway through, Nido suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Uncle Roll, do you think I can participate in that competition?"

Luo Er had no interest in this kind of entertainment for young people, but Nido seemed very interested.

She ran away from home and had only a few steel pennies left with her. She was in great need of a bonus, which would be much faster than working a regular job.

And more than a bonus, she needs an honor and recognition from others to prove her talent in swordsmanship.

This is actually for Eveya to see. Her mother with a keen sense of smell will definitely be able to find out about such activities in the aristocratic circle. If she gets a good ranking then, wouldn't it be possible to prove to her that she is the only one?

Can people live well?

Huh! Ask her to go out to find a wild man behind her back, I must live a good life alone!

Nido thought with some anger in her heart, then raised her head and glanced at Rohr, and a strange thought suddenly came to her mind:

Even if you are in a hurry to find a man, you should look for someone like Uncle Luo Er who is mature, steady, handsome, gentle and considerate, right?

She would not have thought that Rohr was her new neighbor at all, because she could tell from various details of the words and deeds of Rohr and his daughter that neither father nor daughter seemed to be rich people, and they would definitely not be able to afford their own home.

The expensive villa next door.

Facing Nido's question, Luo Er stopped and showed a serious and serious expression. He carefully looked at the little girl in front of him, walked around her a few times, and squeezed her arm.

and thighs.

Since Nido wants to listen to his professional opinion, he must conduct a professional enough assessment and give a professional enough answer.

"Scared~"

Nido's face turned red.

Then, Luo Er touched his chin again, thought carefully, and gave the answer:

"I think there may not be a chance..."

"Although your talent is average, your physical fitness is good. It's better than my previous student."

When Niduo heard this, her pale golden eyes widened slightly and she exclaimed:

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Don't doubt my professionalism. Your physical fitness is inherently good and you are very suitable for practicing swordsmanship."

Luo Er said with a serious face.

He was telling the truth. Probably because Nido had the blood of an elf, even though she lived a pampered life, her innate physical condition was better than that of Jeanne who had received certain training, and she was much stronger than his own daughter.

Keli was severely malnourished when she was a child, and her physical condition was naturally not much better. As the number of villagers gradually increased, and the village's products gradually became richer, her physical condition gradually improved, so she has not grown up to this day.

Is this considered a bloodline advantage? Elves are born more agile than humans, can run faster, jump higher, and can adapt to the environment better.

Speaking of which, Luo Er vaguely remembered that the elves had a glorious past in history, occupying the most fertile land on the continent, not because of their delicate bodies and good looks, but because of their strong fighting power.

Nido thought for a while and asked excitedly:

"Then...Uncle Luo Er, after practicing, can I beat that Xiao outside?"

Rohr thought for a while, briefly simulated the battle between the two sides in his mind, and then replied:

"There's about a 30% chance of winning."

"Eh? Is that all?"

When Nido heard this, she immediately lowered her head in disappointment.

Rohr wanted to tell him that this was actually a relatively optimistic estimate. Taking into account the actual combat experience of both parties, unless Nido was a natural fighting genius, there was basically no chance.

But these words were a bit cruel, so Rolle adopted a relatively tactful rhetoric:

"He has been working very hard and practiced swordsmanship for a long time. This gap cannot be made up by physical fitness."

"But... having said that, do you know the level of other players? What is his level among them?"

Nido thought for a while and replied:

"It should be a very powerful one, right? Anyway, among the young people, basically no one can beat him. If you fight with others in the ring, you will basically win..."

"Although I heard that he lost miserably last time, it seems that the other party used despicable cheating methods?"

"Is that so?"

After hearing this, Luo Er felt a little funny.

It seems that although the young masters and ladies in the imperial capital are keen on swordsmanship, their skills are really not that good. Even a guy like Xiao can be called a king. If his own daughter were to go up, I might not be able to defeat ten easily?

It's a pity that he is so worthless that his daughter cannot become the eldest daughter of a rich family?

Although the Nido in front of me is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, she is not my daughter...

well……

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth to encourage Nido a few more words:

"Although after practicing for a month, there is a high chance that I won't be able to beat Xiao, but as long as I don't meet him, I will still have no problem getting a good ranking."

Upon hearing this, Nido suddenly became energetic again, nodded vigorously, and then said generously:

"If I can get the bonus, I will treat you and my senior sister to a big dinner to thank you for helping me."

"Then you have to work harder."

Luo Er smiled, then suddenly remembered a detail, and continued to ask:

"By the way, you seem a little afraid of that Xiao?"

Nido nodded and whispered:

"When I was young, I was bullied by him..."

She then briefly recounted the unbearable past.

Anyway, it was probably because Nido learned some swordsmanship from her father when she was a child, and then her unreasonable father praised her vigorously, which made her feel a little elated and confident.

There was an aristocratic fraternity where children gathered to play. Nido boasted about herself and the swordsmanship taught by her father. As a result, Xiao jumped out and slapped her in the face. The two had a quarrel and came to the scene.

A duel that puts family dignity on the line.

After a scuffle, Nido was unfortunately beaten to tears, and her beautiful dress was torn, and she lay on the ground whimpering.

Xiao, on the other hand, stood next to her like a winner, waving his fists and saying proudly:

"What I practice is called swordsmanship! What your father taught you was just juggling!"

The two of them formed a feud like this.

After hearing this, Luo Er felt that Little Nido was quite pitiful because she was bullied by boys at such a young age.

But I thought it was funny, two little kids were fighting, and they actually put their dignity on the line.

And in his heart, he quite agrees with Xiao's approach. Since we are discussing something as solemn and sacred as swordsmanship, naturally we can't give in because the other party is a woman. That is to prove his own strength. This is the integrity and integrity of a swordsman.

Vigor.

I didn't expect that boy to have the integrity of a swordsman at such a young age. It's really not easy. No wonder he can be so focused and devoted when he grows up.

However, he smiled and comforted:

"Okay, it's okay. If you can practice hard, even if you can't beat him, at least you won't be beaten to tears again."

As they said this, the two of them happened to arrive at the door of an office. The Rolls walked in without knocking, and saw the instructor lying on the table, writing furiously.

It wasn't that he wasn't polite, but the instructor could hear his footsteps and must have known that he was coming.

As expected, the instructor said without raising his head:

"There is coffee on the table. You can do it yourself. I have to finish writing this letter."

"What happened?"

Rolle rarely saw the instructor write such a serious letter, so he asked curiously.

"My youngest son was deceived by a woman who was thirty years older than him. She left me a note saying that our family was rich and he didn't want to work hard anymore..."

"I had to find him back, so I wrote to ask other friends for help."

The instructor said with a sad look on his face, the pig he had finally fattened was actually eaten by an old cabbage?

Luo Er vaguely remembered that the instructor had said before that his youngest son was only 18 years old this year. Was that woman really cruel?

He was too embarrassed to even think about Oriana who was about 20 years younger than him, but so alluring and delicious!

It can only be said that people's hearts are not ancient, the world is impermanent, and they always underestimate the lower limits of human beings.

So he said angrily:

"I'll help too. Do you have a portrait or photo of him?"

The instructor nodded repeatedly and took out a black and white portrait printed with ink from the drawer. His facial features could barely be seen clearly.

By the way, he also noticed Nido following Rohr, and asked in confusion:

"Why has the girl around you changed again? Why is it different every time?"

After hearing this, Niduo couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Is Uncle Luo Er so popular with girls?

But yes, in a place like the Imperial Capital, there is always no shortage of all kinds of women around powerful men, and they are proud of them. She has seen too many of them, such as those men who tried to pester her mother. All are married.

"This time is different. She is just a neighbor's child who wants to learn swordsmanship, so I brought her here."

Rolle spoke truthfully and did not notice that he had made a mistake and mentioned the neighbor.

Fortunately, Nido didn't think about it that way, thinking that Luo Er was just making up a temporary excuse to take care of her face.

"Oh? Aren't you going to teach me personally this time?"

The instructor continued to lower his head and write a letter and asked.

Roll replied:

"I've taken on a new job now, and I'm very busy...and her basic skills are a bit weak, so she has to start from scratch."

"Ah, by the way, are there any dormitories in the regiment now? She may need a place to stay."

As he spoke, he looked back at Nido and noticed the gratitude on her face.

Uncle Luo Er is so attentive and considerate that he even helped me think about my accommodation.

"Of course there is, and we have prepared it, but the students are basically unoccupied, and it is still empty so far."

As the instructor said, he finally finished writing the letter, then raised his head, looked at Nido carefully, and then noticed her long ears.

"Wait, her ears, are these the legendary elves?"

"The needle will not poke! I have never taught elf students. I heard that all of their clan are born swordsmen..."

"Little girl, I will personally guide you, but don't let me down!"

-------------
