Zach led me to the gate of a manor house in the First Block, and Ernestine led the way.She raised her sword from a distance towards the gate of the manor, and several guards at the gate of the manor saw that the knight in costume on the horse was Ernestine, and ran out of the gatehouse in a panic, and they quickly pushed the big iron door open and made way for it.Ernestine's steed drove straight in, followed by the magic caravan carrying me, followed by Zack on the black horse."
Miss" stood respectfully at the doorway, and before the guard could utter a complete sentence, Ernestine was like a whirlwind blowing into the courtyard.She ignored the guards at the gate of the courtyard, a few bits of ice splashed on the faces of the guards when the horses passed by, quickly melting into mud, and the guards in chain mail had embarrassed smiles on their faces, standing at the gate, their eyes followed Ernestine's war horses to the manor, and the appearance of turning heads and ears was a little obscene.Entering the manor, the lawn in the courtyard is covered with a thick layer of white snow, and there are almost no footprints on it, which is a kind of natural beauty.A thick blanket of snow covered the lawn, with the occasional blade of grass propping up and swaying slightly in the cold wind.The magic caravan was parked at the fountain in front of the square, the fountain had dried up, and it was filled with snow cleared from the castle steps, and two bronze statues towered beside the pool, which looked like two brave warriors fighting demons, and the bronze statues were also covered with a layer of snow, and the manor was full of a strong smell of winter.Several maids in cotton dresses came out of the side door of the castle with a wooden basin containing some washed clothes, and they walked to the drying ground in the corner of the manor, and hung the wet clothes and sheets in the basin on the long rope outside, and they rolled up their sleeves, showing their white arms, and there was no sadness on their faces.A groom pushes a wheelbarrow, carries a bundle of alfalfa to the stable, and puts the alfalfa grass into a long trough, and the stable is full of war horses, each of which is fat and strong.On the turret at the top of the castle stood two archers with longbows on their backs, and they were always hanging by the window of the turret.The servants were in and out of the castle, but there were not many knights in costumes, several young nobles wearing sheepskin soft armor and holding wooden swords in their hands practiced swordsmanship in the square in front of the castle, and two middle-aged swordsmanship instructors in chain pants were correcting the mistakes of these young swordsmanship one by one.When Ernestin and Zack walked through the square, they were stopped by a group of young nobles, and one of the older boys, who had a slight resemblance to Ernestine, threw the shuriwood sword to Ernestine, held the wooden sword of his companion in his hand, and smiled at Ernestine and said, "Sister, do you want to see my newly learned sword skill thrust." ”Ernestine took the wooden sword casually, pursed his lips slightly, and said lightly to the young nobleman: "Swordsmanship is not a show. ”The young men who gathered around had not yet seen how Ernestine had made a move, and the wooden sword in Ernestine's hand had already been pointed at the young nobleman's throat.Ernestine then put away the sword, turned around and threw the wooden sword in his hand to Zack behind him, Zack grinned and held the wooden sword, turned out a gorgeous sword flower in his hand, and then beckoned to the young nobleman who was dumbfounded, the young nobleman saw that there was still someone willing to try the sword for him, and immediately cheered up, put on a posture to fight, held the wooden sword in both hands and shouted, the momentum was quite strong and stabbed the wooden sword out of his hand, and the steps under his feet looked very imposing, and the wooden sword was actually pierced by him to break the air."
Your strength is not enough!"
Zach shouted, and then faced the young nobleman in the same pose.The same sword moves collided together, and the wooden sword was instantly crushed by a huge force, and the wooden sword in Zack's hand was held more steadily, although the wooden sword in his hand was shattered into sawdust, but his body was standing firmly in place, while the young nobleman was directly hit by Zack and flew out, almost fell, and was held by the companions behind him.Then, Zach strode in Ernestine's footsteps towards the castle gate.So, the young nobles in the square took their eyes on me as a matter of course, I shrugged my shoulders and said to these young nobles: "I don't know how to use a sword" The young nobleman who was knocked away by Zack heard this, and immediately stood up from the crowd alive, he took a wooden sword again, stood opposite me and pointed it at me from afar, maybe because I was not wearing a magic robe, he didn't know that I was a magician, and when he heard me say that he couldn't use a sword, he smiled very proudly and said to me, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, it's just a sword fight" At this time, Ernestine noticed that Katerina and I did not follow, and when he looked back, he saw that I was stopped by the young nobleman, Ernestine was about to speak, but Zack reached out to stop him, and Zack gave me a thumbs up.I reached out and rubbed my face vigorously, and it seemed that Zack wanted to watch the excitement from the side, so I walked to the weapon rack next to the square and picked up a short axe, and then walked back slowly, and said to the young nobleman, "Okay, I'll try this axe." ”After saying that, I walked up to him step by step with my axe, and the young man saw that I looked calm and relaxed, and suddenly became not so confident.Standing in front of me, his face changed and changed, a little difficult to ride a tiger, the wooden sword kept flipping in his hand, maybe he thought that the person who could deal with Ernestine should not be an ordinary person, but there were so many people standing in the square, he couldn't put his face down and admit defeat no matter what, and finally gritted his teeth and once again put on the same starting hand as the previous two times.I nodded to the young nobleman to signal that I was ready, and seeing that I did not have the aggressiveness of Ernestine, nor the calm and restrained of Zach, he mustered up the courage and repeatedly used the thrust to rush at me.At the moment when the wooden sword in his hand stabbed in front of me, seeing that I still did not make any counterattack, the young nobleman could not help but rejoice when he felt that the victory was in his hands, and a touch of color appeared on his face.I stood calmly in place, facing the wooden sword that stabbed me, let alone a wooden sword, even if he stabbed me like this with a Roman heavy sword, I would still be able to do it without changing my face.I said to him, "If you can solve things with magic, don't use martial arts!"
”As soon as he finished speaking, an ice shield appeared between me and him, his wooden sword pierced the ice shield, and actually poked a small hole in the ice shield, he looked at me in astonishment, and the ebony axe in his hand soared, burning a layer of raging flames.The ebony axe, the weapon of the tongue of fire, was originally heavier than the wooden sword in his hand, and when his wooden sword was inserted into the ice shield and could not be pulled out, an axe slashed at the wooden sword, and the raging flames swept over, so frightened that the young nobleman hurriedly withdrew his hand and dodged away, and the ebony axe split the wooden sword, and the magic flames suddenly rushed to the wooden sword, burning the wooden sword to ashes.Then I threw my ebony axe aside and walked straight past the young nobleman.The young nobleman's eyes fell on Caterina in the back, trying to find a chance to save face, but Caterina didn't plan to give him anything, and flashed directly to me from the same place, the young nobleman looked at the place where Caterina disappeared with a blank face, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then rubbed his eyes again The young nobles in the square, one by one, their jaws dropped, I didn't expect that the person who learned the best swordsmanship on his side was taught three times in a row, and when it was the fourth time, People don't bother to sell at all, the entire façade of the castle in the manor is gray, with some Gothic style, and the dome of the dome looks like a row of sharp swords.As soon as you enter, it turned out to be not a wide hall, but a wide cloister, with some oil paintings hanging on the stone walls on both sides of the cloister, and the sunlight shining through the stained glass windows of the tall dome of the dome gave the impression of the solemnity of the castle.The rich aroma of toasted bread and the sweetness of boiled corn filled the corridor, making me feel that I hadn't eaten well since the morning, and now my stomach was empty.Ernestine and Zach walked in front, and after meeting a young maid in a silk dress, the former had asked a few words, and then changed course and led me into a huge dining room, which was now full of people, and the knives and forks clashed against the silver plates, and the sound was so pleasant.The people who are eligible to dine in the restaurant are basically the nobles of the castle, who talk to each other and stuff the dishes on their plates, and the restaurant is mixed with the smell of food and wine, as if it were a banquet.Some people immediately got up from their seats to say hello when they saw Ernestine, Ernestine was wearing Mithril armor, looking heroic, just smiling and nodding at those people, it couldn't be cooler anymore.Others greeted Zack, who seemed much gentler and nodded to everyone, so that Ernestine soon left us behind, and she went straight to the head of the table, where the owner of the castle was apparently sitting.After I met Duke Hewlett, I understood why Ernestine was so heroic, the father and daughter looked very similar, whether in appearance or temperament, Ernestine was influenced a lot by Duke Hewlett, but Duke Hewlett's temples were gray, he sat on the chair of the main seat, and there was a piece of salamander's hind leg meat on the plate in front of him, and there was a faint flame burning on the tender leg meat, as if it had been cut off from a living salamander.At this time, I saw that the two of them were actually eating at the table, and Su Di was not far from Duke Hewlett, and she smiled at me and nodded.When she saw me on a plate with a glass of water and two slices of white bread, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry to make you take time out of your busy schedule!"
”I gave a slight mage salute to the Sola University scholar and said, "I am honored to be able to help you, Lord Sora. ”The scholar of Sola was still wearing a priest's robe as white as snow, and there seemed to be no trace of time on her face, and she turned her head to look at Duke Hewlett, and then said to him slowly: "Duke Hewlett, I will see if you should treat your leg injury first, and then have dinner!"
”"Okay, if you can stump the Sola University scholar's injury, can this young man solve it?"
Duke Hewlett picked up the napkin and wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth, looked up at me, and asked the Sola University.The scholar of Sola introduced me to Duke Hewlett very calmly: "Yes, his name is Jijia, and he is a very outstanding water magic student in the Royal Academy of Magic. ”When Duke Hewlett heard the golden sign of the Royal Academy of Magic, he immediately became interested and said with a smile: "Hehe, it turns out that he is still a master of magic. ”He seemed to feel that this was not enough, so he raised his hands and shouted to all the nobles in the dining room: "Hey, please pay attention, there is a master of magic from the Royal Academy of Magic here, and if any young girl here is willing to give it a try, if you can recruit him into our family, I will promise you a wedding gift at your wedding." ”Is there any need to exaggerate like this, I am completely speechless, this kind of thing, shouldn't you ask me what this person thinks?"
Wow" The nobles in the restaurant immediately exploded as if they had exploded when they heard Duke Hewlett's promise, and similarly, everyone's eyes fell on the young and beautiful aristocratic girls in the restaurant, as if they were waiting to see a good show.At this time, Ernestin walked directly to Duke Hewlett's side, looked him in the eye, and said to him, "Hewlett, do you know whose corner you are digging into?"
”"Ernestine, when you speak to me, you should use honorifics."
Duke Hewlett said to Ernestine helplessly, and then said, "Ernestine, then tell me, who else has taken a fancy to this magic master?"
”Ernestine casually uttered a name: "James.
Angel Bird. ”When everyone heard the name, the restaurant slowly became quiet, and the people who were eager to try it suddenly seemed to lose their enthusiasm.Even Duke Hewlett laughed dryly twice, and only said: "This guy, I know that he has two precious daughters, and he is very discerning!"
”Ernestine did not stop breaking the news about me, and said to Duke Hewlett: "Just last month, after Jijia completed the coming-of-age ceremony, he married Princess Yingli and Her Royal Highness Princess Qige at the same time. ”The Duke of Hewlett pointed his finger at me, as if he had forgotten what he wanted to say, and thought for a long time before he said, "Ho ho ho ”I scratched my head and said, "No." ”The Duke of Hewlett then said, "Don't worry, that Welsh boy went to Angelado with the Constructed Knight. ”I was speechless: "
