Soul Echo

Princess walked to the weapon rack, picked up the lance, weighed it, thought for a moment, put the lance down again, and picked up the long sword and the round shield.

The weapons here are all genuine, the real ones.

But for this Princess, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, these all are training tools.

"The weapons here are yours to choose." Princess named 'Lily' raised the long sword and pointed to the weapon rack.

Zhong Ye glanced at him, shook the head, "Forget it, just come."

Princess was a little puzzled, looked him up and down with her head tilted, and her eyes fell on him On the straight knife at the waist, brows slightly wrinkle.

But she didn't complain, she immediately twisted her steps and rushed towards Zhong Ye.

The round shield is in front of the body, the body is slightly bent down, and the body is protected behind the shield. If the whole body is armored, this is indeed a good method of warfare.

Rush to Zhong Ye, although wondering why he hasn't drawn his sword yet, Princess didn't hesitate and stabbed the long sword in her hand - this is a battle, not a child's play!

But at this moment, Zhong Ye suddenly squatted down, and then bounced up diagonally, her slightly sloping shoulders hit Princess swordsman's wrist, and her arm flew up. Then she slid forward, inserted one leg between her two legs, twisted her ankle, lifted it up, and hooked one of her knee sockets.

Princess didn't even feel how much strength Zhong Ye used, and the Heaven and Earth in front of her started to flip. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop her body from falling backwards.

"The bottom plate is unstable."

Zhong Ye pulled his foot back and commented on Princess, who was lying on the ground: "Even if you practice more fighting in armor , riding combat, but the practice of footsteps is still too negligent. Even if you don't get close, I have more than a dozen ways to make you fall to the ground. The weak spot is really too big. If you only have this level, you can't reach it. Up to my standards."

Princess gritted her teeth and stood up.

She first pulled away, then charged again.

And then...

Lilian saw that Princess, whose name was similar to her, was slapped by Zhong Ye, even though she was dissatisfied with her before and was a little afraid that she would take Zhong Ye away Ye, I can't help but feel a little distressed now.

Even standing on the sidelines, Lillian could see Zhong Ye's inattentiveness, he didn't even draw his weapon.

As time goes by, Zhong Ye, who has been waiting for work, has become more and more obvious in physical strength.

Because he was very attentive, there was no obvious injury on Princess's body, only swelling and pain in the wrist and back, and a dull pain in the back of the head.

However, the accumulation of these pains and fatigue is enough to overwhelm a person.

When Princess was knocked down again and struggled a bit, she found it difficult to get up at once, and even turning over became a problem.

Even after being knocked down for the third time, she no longer retreated, but stood up and attacked Zhong Ye, she couldn't make Zhong Ye draw her weapon.

This made Princess very frustrated. Although she knew from the very beginning that there was a gap between herself and Zhong Ye, she didn't expect the gap to be so big.

If this was in actual combat, she would have died a hundred times!

"...But, it's not bad."

Zhong Ye bent down and stretched out his hand to Princess, "Although far away can't be called an opponent. ', but it's the first time I've seen someone like you who has been knocked down 113 times and still wants to stand up. I agree with your tenacious and appreciate your character - I'm doing a major event recently, Interested in learning more?"

Princess grabbed Zhong Ye's outstretched hand and stood up with his strength.

Hearing him say 'a major event', his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously: "What is it?"

"Saving the whole city was interrupted by 'grand competition martial arts' And the businesses and factories that are on the verge of bankruptcy." Zhong Ye bewitched the wealthy woman in front of him, "This incident affects not only the businessmen and factories in Paris, but as the incident ferments, other cities and villages will also be affected. , I came to discuss with your father today, just for this matter."

Hearing these words, Princess tilted her head in confusion, "Is this also a major event?"

Zhong Ye looked serious and serious, "If the incident is not properly resolved, at least hundreds of people will go bankrupt in the early stage, one third of them may commit suicide, and one fifth of the one third may commit suicide. Suicide with the whole family. Although the debt will eventually disappear in the huge trading system as the event spreads, hundreds of people will die and many more businesses and factories will go bankrupt before that. The direct economic loss is at least 100,000 gold coins, including but not limited to Paris’s tax for the next year.”

Princess was taken aback, “How, how come there are so many? "

Zhong Ye spread his hands innocently, "This result was calculated by the bishop of the Church of the God of Commerce. If you don't believe it, you can go to him to verify."

Then, He struck while the iron was still hot, "Fortunately, the problem is not serious now. As long as the problem can be solved at this time, all these things will not happen."

hearing this, Princess frowned, Meditate.

After a while, she exhaled a long breath and said seriously: "Count me in! I still have two thousand gold coins here!"

Zhong Ye's mouth curled up, extend The hand went, "Welcome to my team."

Hearing this sentence, Princess and Lillian were stunned, and the barrage suddenly surged like a frenzy.

She opened her mouth slightly, and was stunned for a while before Princess reacted. She immediately became overjoyed, grabbed Zhong Ye's hand and shook it up and down, "Thank you, thank you! I'll go tell my father about this. This time, it was Zhong Ye's turn to be stunned, "You didn't tell your father about this?"

"Of course not!" Princess said confidently Said, "If I don't get your affirmation, I will talk to him about this, and he will definitely find an opportunity for you to reject me. In this case, you will not give me the opportunity to improve mutual understanding!"

After speaking, she turned around and put the long sword and shield back on the weapon rack, called her maid, dragged her already quite tired body, and walked to the king's study.

Princess suddenly turned around again before leaving Xi's martial stage.

"By the way, I don't seem to have introduced myself yet. My name is 'Lily', 'Lily Lieber'!"

Lily Lieber's mouth curled into a smile , waved at Zhong Ye, "I haven't given up yet - rather, I like you even more after I met you."

Then she left with the little maid.

Zhong Ye shook his head laughed, did not take this sentence seriously, and left the palace with Lilian.

They saw the carriage of the Church of the God of Commerce in front of the palace gate. Bishop, sitting in the car, waved to them when they saw them walking out of the palace.

The Royal Palace is located on the outskirts of Paris, and it is already afternoon. If you don't take the carriage, it will be evening when you return to the city.

So, bishop simply waited for Zhong Ye and the others outside the palace.

So he also immediately learned that Four Princesses were willing to contribute money to help them solve this problem.

bishop is naturally overjoyed, although I don't know how Zhong Ye persuaded the four princesses, but if they can get 2,000 gold coins, they can solve many problems and make this thing happen smoothly Also a possibility.

On the carriage, Zhong Ye talked a lot with bishop, but Lilian didn't listen at all, her heart was filled with a sense of crisis.

The woman is called 'Lily Lieber', with a similar name to her, but with a better body and an eye-catching personality, and she dares to hit Zhong Ye with a straight ball...

If Lily Lieber is really going to join them, isn't she going to be pushed aside?

If the audience in the live broadcast room also defected and was attracted by that woman, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain? Become that woman's stand-in?

"... Lillian?"

Lillian suddenly came back to his senses and lifts the head in confusion, only to realize that the carriage has stopped and Zhong Ye is standing outside the car door, Looking at her suspiciously, "What's the matter? What are you thinking?"

"No, nothing..." Lillian grumbled and walked down the carriage.

She and Zhong Ye gave a polite salute to the bishop in the carriage, then turned and walked into the adventurer's house.

Zhong Ye looked at Lillian who was absent-minded, thought for a moment, and laughed.

I immediately raised my hand, patted the fifteen-year-old girl's head, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't be taken away..."

Hearing this sentence With that, Lilian's eyes slowly turned red, she turned around and hugged Zhong Ye, sobbing softly.

Zhong Ye didn't speak, just hugged Lillian quietly.

After getting along for a while, he knew that Lillian might be a child who grew up in a single-parent family and lacked love since childhood. He showed his dependence on him many times, but until now he Didn't say it outright.

Lily Lieber's attitude made her feel threatened, like a father was about to remarry...speaking of which might be weird, but that's about it.

Holding Lillian, Zhong Ye's expression suddenly became strange.

It was only then that he realized that he was actually playing the role of a 'father' to Lilian?
