Chapter 827 Master Monk ([-])

Li Sansi, the aristocratic young man holding Li Sansi's hand, can't be regarded as an acquaintance, but the two of them can be regarded as acquaintances. It can be said that he is a loyal fan and suitor of Su Zixuan, from the mansion of the Duke of Stoke to the attack on the heart of the goddess. , almost all the way along the way, and his attitude towards Li Sansi also slowly began to change, from the initial jealousy and suspicion, to the excitement and admiration after seeing Li Sansi's true strength, the process is all the way They came here. They heard that the two were about to return to Stoke Manor, so they followed. Most of the noble youths present were new faces. Only a few of them had experienced the battle of defending the heart of the goddess. When squinting at Li Sansi, they closed their mouths wisely.

There is a saying among many aristocratic youths that only those who have experienced the battle to defend the Goddess Heart can be considered mature. There were many nobles who followed Su Zixuan to the Goddess Heart, but after being attacked, some of them left Many noble youths who stayed behind have experienced that defensive battle. Although they belonged to the nobles, it is impossible for the Heart of the Goddess to send them to participate in the harsh battle, but these nobles who have been staying behind, no matter what Knowing the cruelty of this battle, their own personality has also been tempered a lot, and many people know that the smiling man in front of him is the sea emperor who was admitted by many pirates, so the noble youths around At the moment, they were silent.

The nobleman on Su Zixuan's right is called Kompas, and he should be an earl now. He was originally the eldest son of a nobleman, but because of his father's death recently, he inherited the family's noble title early. Among them, the only person who got the real title so early is also a legitimate nobleman. It can be said that he is a young man. Now he is sitting on the left side of Su Zixuan, with an outstanding demeanor, and said to the people around him, "This time the royal family For the swordsmanship competition, we, Earl Compass, are invited, and as the heir of the family, of course I will be the first to participate!"

As soon as this sentence was said, there was a voice of envy from a group of noble youths around. It is not surprising that noble families are invited. Royal swordsmanship competitions, nobles with some merits in the Eagle Empire, regardless of their titles, will receive invitations. The participating nobles sent out more than 300 invitations. Most of the young nobles present and their families have also received invitations for the swordsmanship competition. However, receiving invitations is one thing, and wanting to participate is another. , among the young nobles at the scene, very few of them have learned swordsmanship since they were young. What's more, even if they have practiced swordsmanship, most of them are not the eldest sons of the direct line. Most of them are direct blood relatives of noble families. For generations of descendants, there is only one invitation card, and there are only two entries for dukes and above, that is to say, except for the eighteenth duke and below, starting from the title of marquis, everyone has only one entry entry, and these entries are distributed to the family Naturally, the supreme leader is only sent down to a class, or played in person. Most of the noble youths present, many of them are in the third generation of grandchildren in the family, and some of them are even one of several grandchildren. Well, it's not their turn to compete for these competition places, but their fathers and brothers compete with each other, and they basically have no chance.

The temptation of the swordsmanship competition for the lower nobles is incomparable. Many aristocratic families will not be able to get a medal in their lifetime, but with a medal, this lifetime is enough to honor their ancestors.

Among the noble young people present, there are also many sword learners, but because of the huge family system, the places are not up to them at all, so it should be regarded as quite an honor to be able to participate in the competition like Kompas thing.

"I heard that many famous nobles will also participate in this competition. Compass, can your swordsmanship be better than theirs? To take a step back, most of the participants this time are nobles of the older generation. Can you guarantee that your swordsmanship is better than your father's?" A man in the crowd said sourly.

Compass glanced at the other party, lightly brushed the dust on his sleeves with his fingers, and said calmly, "My swordsmanship surpassed my father's when I was 16 years old, so you What I said is just nonsense, even if the other party is an older generation of nobles with superb swordsmanship, I still want to tell them that their era has passed, and now is our era!"

As soon as Kompas finished speaking, a nobleman with a sword next to him applauded first, "Well said, well said, I agree with you, I was going to show my skills this time!"

Everyone looked at the young nobleman who was speaking. The young nobleman had fair skin, and his slightly curly hair was draped over his shoulders in waves. It's too far away, and I can't help but feel ashamed, and even some people can't help but look away when they meet his proud gaze.

This noble young man is called Adolf, and he is the grandson of the marquis noble Borgen Adolf. Because he is very popular and has excellent swordsmanship, naturally the place for this invitation also falls on him.

"The era has changed, and the arrogance of the older generation of nobles can no longer be tolerated." As soon as Adolf finished speaking, a noble young man on the right of Compass and on the left of Su Zixuan also echoed at the same time. His voice was cold, but the corners of his mouth had A faint smile, a kind of indifferent charm, coupled with a head of dark black hair, not only makes people suspect that he has oriental blood.Compared with his clothes, he can be described as neat and tidy. There are almost no wrinkles in the whole suit, and the neatness is amazing.

"What are you talking about!" A young nobleman in the crowd held the hilt of his sword, "Ordin! My father is about to participate in this competition. Do you mean that even my father is out of sight!?"

Everyone was already walking on the road, and the setting sun was slanting, and they could see the city of Edinburgh in the distance under the dusk, a stretch of bright buildings.

"噗!" There was a clear sword cry, and while the noble young man who spoke just now was still stunned and unable to react, the long sword of the noble young man with black hair, Ordin, was already out of its sheath, pointing at the young nobleman who spoke. At the throat, the long sword is still trembling. This hand draws the sword very quickly and neatly. There are also noble youths with superb swordsmanship among the crowd, but they can't see clearly this Ordin's sword. It can be seen that Ordin's swordsmanship is true. Some attainments.

The noble young man who just spoke was pointed at by the sword, and he didn't dare to move. He only felt a cold aura from the opponent's sword, which made his sweat flow down his vest, and then Ordin's mocking voice came It came out, "Believe me, your father, the Earl of Lengfei of Barmerton, can't walk ten strokes under my sword. I said this sentence. You can pass it on to your father intact. I'm waiting for him in the ring, it doesn't matter."

The face of the noble young man pointed at by the sword was full of anger, but he was helpless. He really wanted his father to teach Aldin a severe lesson, but seeing the way he just used the sword, he knew his own Father was also far inferior to the Ordin in front of him, he gritted his teeth with hatred and didn't know what to say.
