Not long after the count left, Artolis's agreement to fight with the count's servant Lux spread quickly. Many residents of the town flocked to the mayor's house, naturally to have a look.
Artoris agreed to fight to save the town.
Mayor Sal was very sorry for the two of them being involved in the troublesome things in the town, but Artolis said that he was duty-bound and full of energy. It was good to have such a partner, and he could just use it to deal with the enthusiastic townspeople.
.
So he ran away very early, staying alive for one minute and being lazy for 6o seconds! That's right! At this moment, Lin Xiao was lying comfortably under a big tree in the town, with warm sunshine shining on him, and
There was a gentle wind caressing him, and he really wanted to keep it like this, Lin Xiao thought lazily, but he didn't know what happened to that stubborn fool now. Will there be any cute girls who fall in love with him? Hehe, he is a hero.
Very popular....
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao closed his eyes and decided to take a rest... I don't know how long it took, but Lin Xiao woke up and just wanted to go back to the mayor's house to see...
"Lin Xiao, you are here." A familiar voice came over. He raised his head and took a look. It was Artolis.
"Hey, how are you? Do you feel the enthusiasm of everyone in the town?" Lin Xiao sat down with his back against the big tree and said to Artolis with a smile.
"Why are you running away so fast? In fact, everyone is a very good person." Artolis replied. Of course, he didn't have the aunt in the town who insisted on introducing his daughter to him, which made him a little embarrassed.
Lin Xiao replied half jokingly and half seriously: "Oh, who made our righteous knight Artolis so popular? By the way, I will also cheer you up. You must win tomorrow, or else suppress
Instead of welcoming us, the residents sang lamentations and drove us away."
"No one would do that, but I will definitely give my all in this battle." Artolis said seriously.
"Artolis, don't stand there all the time. Come lie down next to him and relax." Lin Xiao stretched out his right hand and patted the ground on his right, then lay down again.
"Ah." Artolis hesitated for a while, then politely said: "Thank you."
The two of them lay quietly under the tree. After a while, Artolis suddenly said: "I don't know why I always feel that you are unmotivated. Are all you mercenaries like this?"
This was the first time Artolis asked him about something. Lin Xiao thought for a while and said: "Mercenaries? They are probably similar to me. They are all willful guys. As for me, I can't muster the motivation, I just think
Seriously, it's more troublesome, and I hate troublesome things the most."
"I always feel like I can't understand what you say." Artolis said after being silent for a while.
"It's okay if you can't understand it. Everyone is unique."
"You see, occasionally I will make such philosophical remarks, and I can't understand you."
"If you don't understand, you don't have to figure it out. It's so troublesome to think about it! Artoris suddenly came to see me for something specific, right?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
Artolis was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, I can feel that the swordsman named Laux is very strong and difficult to deal with, so I would like to hear your opinion."
At first glance, that guy looks like an experienced warrior. There is a gap in Artolis' strength, but as long as the probability of victory is not zero, it is enough to turn defeat into victory. This is Lin Xiao's creed.
At that moment, Lin Xiao put forward his own analysis: "That's what happened. In fact, I think the guy carrying such a big sword must have high strength attributes. He is a swordsman who prefers strength, so Artolis will try his best if he can."
Use your agility and speed flexibly to gain an advantage. Well, in a nutshell, you use ingenuity to defeat your opponent."
Artoris's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said: "It's better to use skill to overcome force."
Lin Xiao looked at the happy young man and said softly: "Show confidence. Everyone in the town believes you can win. You can see how enthusiastic they are."
"Actually, this is my first time facing a real actual battle, so I am so nervous. I will definitely win because I want to help everyone in the town... Artolis.
"That's it. Then everyone and I will watch your performance carefully, and of course we will cheer for you. Just fight with all your strength." Lin Xiao encouraged Artolis.
"I feel a lot better after talking to you." Artolis.
"No, I feel like I've seen another side of Artolis again." Lin Xiao laughed.
"Ah, what's that like?"
"I originally thought Artolis was a just and serious knight, but now I realize that this guy is also an idiot who loves to show off his strength, but to be honest, I don't hate such idiots."
"You actually think I'm an idiot, how rude,".
"Haha, no kidding, we'd better go back to the mayor's house quickly, otherwise it would be bad if people misunderstand that we have run away secretly." After the words fell, Lin Xiao stood up, stretched comfortably, and then
Artolis walked to the mayor's house.
The next day, the day of the battle agreed with the Earl arrived. The battle took place outside the town, so it would be more convenient to choose the venue first.
There is a large open space in the town, but now the open space is very lively. Many townspeople have come here and they are standing on the outside. This is the space that the Earl decided to free up early in the morning.
Of course, Lin Xiao and Artolis had also arrived early, waiting for the count.
After a while, the earl came over in a carriage. Along with the carriage were two servants driving the carriage. The earl who got off the carriage had no expression on his face, but the swordsman Lox had no expression this time.
Instead of driving the car, he rode in the same car with the count. It can be seen that Laux was not an ordinary servant. He put on a set of leather armor for combat, and also took off the big sword, holding it mightily in his hand.
, standing beside the count, fully armed.
Then the two servants took out crystals of different colors from nowhere, each holding two crystals in their hands. They stood respectfully aside, as if waiting for the earl's order.
"Alright, everyone present is here. It can be regarded as a testimony to this battle. Then let's invite Knight Artolis and Lux to enter. I don't want to make a fuss about this competition, so
You two are here." As the earl announced, the two servants quickly placed the crystals in a corner, one in each corner, almost forming a square.
Seeing this posture, Lin Xiao knew that the count would be difficult to deal with, so he immediately told Artolis: "Artolis, remember to use skill to defeat force." The young knight headed towards the venue, accompanied by Laux.
.
As they entered, the four crystals glowed faintly, and soon a barrier could be seen with the naked eye. Then the barriers formed by the four crystal stones connected together to form a magic barrier. This was exactly
It is a product of magical civilization, and its main purpose is to protect the spectators who are witnessing the battle outside.
The young knight walked towards the field with firm eyes, and Laux was with him.

"Then the competition will begin immediately, you two can stop here." The count announced, and for some reason he looked radiant as if victory was within reach.
Of course, there is a reason for his confidence. The servant named Laux is very powerful.
