Evetrona's old stories

Hackfu saw Eve's actions at first glance, and he was a little surprised, so he called her name immediately.

Eve was a little overwhelmed by his amazing reaction speed, after all, she didn't mean to ask a question.She looked at Hackfudo's slightly expectant eyes, and her heart beat a little, but she finally calmed down and said, "Sorry, teacher...I have something to do today, can I go first?"

He was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at his watch, only to realize that he had been procrastinating for so long.He waved his hand and said, "I should be the one who said I'm sorry—I'm sorry everyone, I didn't notice the time. If that's the case, let's dismiss get out of class now...Students, I wish you a happy Shengming Festival!"

So, amidst the shouts, the last class before the festival ended.

In the corridor, Di Geng and Lin Xin broke through the crowd and caught up with Eve who was walking in the front.

"Eve, you walked a little too fast today." Di Geng said, "That guy Hakfudo really knows how to talk nonsense. I only saw how a jerk he is today. Do you think so? You Look at his disappointed expression after listening to what you said, if you don't want to listen, it will hit him harder than refuting on the spot."

"I really have something to do today, that's why I interrupted him. His thinking may be a little ahead of his time, but it's not like talking nonsense." Eve walked quickly, and she had already left the lecture hall building in a short time.

"That kind of words shouldn't come out of his mouth. What is he, can he represent women? Those words are obviously for other purposes, you can't believe his nonsense." Di Geng followed behind her, He asked again: "Do you know who is the person sitting in the back today?"

"Who?" Eve slowed down.

"That person is Captain Hollyn, who is the second-ranked member of the Knights. Huck Fudo dares to say these things in front of him today. Just watch, he will definitely not please you."

"Looks like we have to sign the joint letter again." Eve sighed, "I may have offended him today too. At worst, I'll be the first one to sign and hand it over to the principal myself."

"Why are you trying to curry favor with him?" Di Geng became a little anxious, "That guy is handsome and handsome, so why are you accommodating him like this?"

"It's a problem for you to target him like this. But I also understand that he is about the same age as you, and he stands on the top to give lectures, and you sit on the bottom to listen to the lectures, so you feel unbalanced, which is normal."

"How can I?" Di Geng's eyes wandered, and he quickly denied it.

"Also, I'm also pretty, don't you also have a crush on me?" Eve tilted her head and asked him with a smile.

When Di Geng heard her words, there was a buzzing in his mind, and he stood there in a daze.Now he only felt that all the blood in his body was pouring into his head, top-heavy and crumbling.Eve's figure gradually faded away, and he didn't seem to even hear her farewell.

Lin Xin shook his shoulders, and he reacted a little.

"Does she know how to read minds?" Di Geng turned his neck stiffly, looking at Lin Xin next to him with a dull expression, "She guessed everything I was thinking."

Lin Xin patted him on the shoulder heavily, but said nothing.

Eve trotted all the way back to the apartment, and when she opened the door, she didn't see Ms. Sickbelin. At this moment, Elvira was standing beside her, holding a dandelion in her arms, and sitting opposite her was a woman who Eve missed very much. people.

"Nanfen?" Eve's throat was trembling with excitement, "Why are you here?"

The woman on the sofa stood up, opened her arms with a smile, and Eve hurried forward and hugged her.

[67] Harvest, Competition, and Festivals (Part [-])

"After I received your letter, I decided to come and take a look." Nanfen pinched Eve's face and said with a smile, "Since you won't go home, I'll come to you, little white-eyed wolf."

"I heard that there will be festivals held at the Knight Academy, and there will be rewards for participating. It might be helpful for the final assessment results, so I wanted to stay and have a look." Eve explained repeatedly.

"Okay, I got it, I saw it in the letter." After half a year, Nanfen finally saw her well-behaved and sensible goddaughter again, and she was in a good mood.She pressed Eve on the sofa, and sat side by side with Elvira, and then opened the metal box that had been placed on the table, which contained small snacks of various shapes and flavors, which seemed to be Nanfen's handicraft.

Eve smelled this familiar scent just now, and quickly locked the source of the smell. When she saw Nan Fen opened the lid of the box, she put her head on it immediately, and picked out one of her favorite snacks for a bite. It was stuffed into his mouth, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to gesture, signaling to Elvira who was beside him not to be polite.

"Why is it still hot?" Eve swallowed the food in her mouth and asked in surprise.

"I arrived at noon. I knew you were going to class, so I didn't bother you. It's okay to be idle, so I went to a friend and borrowed her stove to make you some snacks."

"You just can't take time off." Eve was moved, but a little uncomfortable.

Elvira listened to the two of them talking silently, holding a piece of snack in her hand, and ate it in small bites.

"Her name is Avella." Eve touched the girl next to her with her shoulder, and asked Nanfen, "Have you introduced each other just now?"

"Introduction, we all know." Nanfen kept laughing, and her tone seemed to be coaxing a child when she spoke, "I feel that Elvira's personality is quite similar to the previous Eve, especially quiet."

Elvira heard the other party mentioning herself, so she raised her head, with some inquiry in her eyes.

"Let me tell you, Eve was always sad and didn't like to smile when she was a child, but she changed completely when she grew up. Usually when people see her, they will say at first: 'Yo, this girl is so beautiful', but later they will say: 'Oh, this girl is too capable of getting into trouble'."

Nan Fen spoke with eloquence and emotion, which made Avilla laugh after all.Eve sighed silently in her heart, as expected of Nanfen, as long as she was a child, there was nothing she couldn't handle.

Nanfen likes to share Eve's past with others. On the other hand, she speaks very cleverly, always avoiding the question of kinship.Under her intentional or unintentional misleading, others would think that Eve was raised by her.

"It would be great if you were my own daughter." In the past, Nanfen would often sigh inadvertently like this.

The three chatted and laughed, and soon it was evening. Nanfen even thoughtfully prepared dinner for the two of them, but eating such a large box of snacks was actually enough to fill their stomachs.Ever since Eve learned swordsmanship from Baililin, she rarely had the opportunity to overeat. Looking at the delicious meat bread in the basket in front of her, she felt that she had no place to eat.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Eve picked up a whole loaf of bread and handed it to Elvira.The other party shook his head quickly, as if he didn't even want to smell it.She said: "I really can't eat anymore, you can do it yourself."

So, Eve had no choice but to stuff the bread into her mouth.The strip-shaped bread is crispy on the outside and full of wheat flavor. The fillings are fried separately, cooled slightly, filled into the hollow bread, and reheated in a low-temperature oven.The main raw materials of the stuffing are tender beef and a kind of pickled wild vegetables. The taste of the mixture of the two is fresh with a little sour taste, which is very delicious; the lean beef has a grainy texture when it enters the mouth, and the butter The addition of cheese and cheese increases the mellowness and consistency of the filling, making the taste closer to the three-fat and seven-lean meat filling, but it tastes much more refreshing and appetizing.The meat stuffing is full, and the bread is heavy in the hand. Just one bread like this is enough for a grown man to have a lunch, but Nanfen has prepared five.

After dinner, the two went into the bedroom,

"Nanfen, where are you staying tonight?" Eve felt a little nervous when she asked this question, she was really afraid that the other party would propose to share the same bed with her.

"Go to a friend's house." Nanfen replied with a smile, "You don't have to think about me."

"Who is your friend here?" Eve was a little curious.

"There are some former classmates and teammates who live here, you don't know them." Nanfen said, "They said they're going to get together tonight, and I'll introduce them to you when I have a chance later."

"No, why do I know so many people?"

"The more people who know about it, the more people will take care of it." Nan Fen rubbed Eve's palm, carefully placed her hand in front of her eyes for a while, then frowned and said, "It's all callused."

"This is unavoidable, after all, you have to practice every day."

"As time goes on, these hands will become rougher and rougher. What does that sound like?" Nan Fen said, picked up the hand cream beside her, spread it on Eve's hands, and slowly rubbed it.Then, she said, "I heard that you also attended the class at the training center?"

"How do you know?" Eve asked back, her eyes widened suddenly.

"I've already said, I have friends here." Nanfen said mysteriously, "I know everything about what you did here."

"What do you know?" Eve panicked.

"I know you're in some trouble, and the girl from the Knaka family is called..."

"It's Xilinya." Eve said quickly, "Don't tell Comino about this matter. You don't have to worry about me, I'm almost done."

"I know, you can solve any problem, so why should I worry?" Nanfen pointed at the tip of Eve's nose, and the scent of hand cream still remained on her fingers.

"Did you look at Minxi the same way?" Eve was a little curious.

"There is no one I know in Hartan, even if I think about it, I can't help it." Nanfen replied, "But it's different here. I didn't know until Maoqi said that you were going to study here. It turned out that all my old friends came here."

"Hasn't Minxi been home recently?"

"It is said that you can come back this winter. How long have you two not seen each other? Almost two years?"

"She entered the school last spring, and it has been almost two years since this winter."

"Tell me about you first, how did you feel in the past six months?" Nan Fen leaned close to Eve's face and asked her in a low voice.As soon as Nanfen showed such an expression, Eve understood what she was talking about—obviously she was talking about her menstrual period.So, she replied very impatiently: "No, nothing, let's talk about other things..."

"Okay, although you don't want to talk about it, don't take this matter lightly. Um... tell me something else? I heard that you still recognize a master here?"

"My name is Baililin. She is a female master. She and I mainly learn swordsmanship."

"Is she strict with you? Tired?"

"It's never tiring to learn something, but she treats me very well, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Didn't you learn swordsmanship with Maoqi and Ross when you were at home? Why do you learn it again?"

"Baililin's teaching focus is different from theirs, so it should be more suitable for me."

"Why is it different?"

"How should I say this... Let me give you an example." Eve stood up from the bed and walked to the position directly in front of Nanfen.Nanfen looked at her with interest, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Eve bent down slightly, and lifted one leg back until her foot was above her head. At the same time, she bent her body back again, and hooked her two hands on the raised foot.At this time, her body and the raised leg formed a ring shape, and she stood firmly on the spot with only one leg.

Nan Fen was amazed, smiled and applauded her.

Eve stabilized her figure, and gradually straightened her waist, so that the raised leg was straight close to her waist. With the straightening of her leg, her calf was close to her ear, and the overall movement changed. It became a posture similar to kicking towards the sky, but the toes were standing up.

"Okay, okay." Nanfen could see that she was struggling a little, so she got up and persuaded her to sit back on the bed, "Isn't it hard to practice?"

"It's okay." Eve exhaled and rubbed her nose. It was the first time she did this in front of people other than Baililin, and she felt a little ashamed after doing it.

"By the way, where's my cousin? She didn't come with you?" Eve asked.

"What cousin, you should call her cousin..." After Nanfen finished speaking, she added: "Even if you don't want to call her, at least you should call her Aunt Shanli."

In fact, the name of this cousin was Shanli Sloan. Since everyone called her cousin when she was in Bomen, the title "cousin" was already her nickname.

"Isn't it just the two of us?" Eve laughed, "So why didn't she come with you?"

"She has something to do at home, so she will go back to the Eastern City first. She will go back in July."

It's mid-September.

"Aren't you the only one left in that family now? Or, you can let those relatives in Luo Town live in the manor for a while." Eve worried that she would feel lonely.The husband is doing risky work outside, and the wife will inevitably feel suffering while waiting at home.

"What do you mean I'm the only one left? Have you forgotten that Ruge still lives at home?" Nan Fen pinched her face.

"Except for eating, he would come out of the room, and the rest of the time he shrank into the pile of papers, so he can only be counted as half a person." Eve did forget Ruge, but she didn't want to admit it.

Nan Fen was amused by her words, and she said: "After Mao Qi went out, I was afraid that he would take the opportunity to sneak out. Now Lu Ge can stay at home honestly, I am already thankful."

The two chatted for a while, talking and laughing, and the time passed quickly.After dark, I heard someone calling Nanfen's name downstairs, it was a woman's voice.The woman yelled a few words, her voice sounded heroic and fierce, Nan Fen opened the window to respond, then hurriedly put on her shoes and went downstairs.

That night, Eve had a good night's sleep, and in the morning of the next day, she accompanied Nanfen to wander around the entire Runlong Castle.It seemed that most of the students chose to stay here, walking all the way, and everyone they knew and didn’t know greeted her. This kind of situation is not common on weekdays, and it may be because they usually don’t have time to say hello to her—Eve seldom walks slowly like today.

Seeing that her daughter is so popular in the Knight Academy, Nanfen couldn't help showing a gratified smile.When she was in Bomeng before, Eve's withdrawn and out-of-group personality also made her worry a lot.

The festival held by the Knight Academy will start tomorrow and last for eight days, mainly featuring performances and competitions.Since the past few days, people from major cities in Yikelin Province have been visiting one after another, and the hotels and homestays within a radius of more than ten kilometers of Benlong Castle are overcrowded.Rich and poor alike gather here during the Ming Festival just to watch the annual celebration.It was September at this time, and the weather had not turned cold. People who arrived here in advance either gathered at the foot of the mountain, or looked for relatives who lived in the civilian area to borrow, and some even directly leaned against the city wall to lay the floor; When it comes to business opportunities, those who plan to sell melon and fruit snacks, hats and toys on the day of the festival also start preparing early at this time.Except for the garrisons, special restricted areas, and student dormitories, almost all of the interior of Benlong Castle is open to the public during the festival.Because of this, maintaining law and order in the fort during the more than ten days of the Shengming Festival is also a challenge.Under normal circumstances, the security team temporarily formed by the defenders and led by the knights will be on call around the clock during the festival, and will be responsible for resolving most of the disputes and conflicts in the fort; The formed patrol team conducts regular inspections to prevent outsiders from breaking in; in addition, the action team formed by senior knights will also disperse the guard in the crowd or above the street. With a silver mask and two armed swords around his waist, he looked heavily guarded and even murderous. No matter how background troublemakers saw them, they had to weigh them first.

As long as there are these knights, there will be no major problems during the festival.

At this time, festival facilities have already begun to be arranged on the streets of Benlong Castle.The builders include defenders and senior students. They embed planks and iron frames into the grooves reserved in the walls to build temporary steps or bridges between the buildings and the city walls; Some areas on the fence are fenced and used as stands during festivals; or some large objects with strange shapes are set up in designated positions for use in competitions.And as these things covered the entire Benlong Castle, when all the windows were installed with iron railings or even closed with iron plates, Eve became more and more looking forward to the arrival of the festival.

Apparently, the upcoming events in Runlong Castle will definitely not be ordinary sports events that promote the spirit of civilized competition and friendship.

[68] Harvest, Competition, and Festivals (Part [-])

The celebration of the Ming Festival started as scheduled.

At 9 a.m. on September 17, there was a sea of ​​people in Benlongbao.In order to prevent building collapse and stampede accidents, the security team has been at the scene to evacuate the crowd.

The performance at the opening ceremony of the ceremony was not exquisite, it could even be said that it was just for a cutscene.The knights of Shengfengyue riding horses, dressed in silver armor, lined up in a [-]-meter-long queue, carrying striped flags and parading around the entire castle, which was considered the opening of the ceremony.

The first day and the second day are basically the preliminaries and rematch of various competitions. The students who have passed the preliminary round before the celebration will compete in the first round in the venues divided in the castle.

Akanlu's roommate named Melina likes to drink sweet wine. After Eve invited her to the taverns around Benlong Castle and Xingtern City a few times, the two are considered acquaintances.A few days ago, Melina gave Eve a list, which included all the competition time of the previous two days and the names of the key participants. Some events were also marked with asterisks, which means that these competitions are for viewing.

Eve originally planned to take Elvira and Xilinya to watch the game, but now that Nanfen is here, she just goes shopping with Nanfen.Aiweila didn't want to follow Xilinya and the others by herself, so Eve pushed her to Akanlu, and because Akanlu had to participate in the competition in these two days, Aiweila became her helper.I don't know whether Melina did it unintentionally or on purpose. All competitions involving Akanlu's participation are marked with asterisks. Therefore, Eve and Nanfen can often be seen holding clothes for Akan in the field. Elvira who dew handed the water bottle.

The participants in the competition were basically the students of the training center, and the blond and sharp-eared Elvira was wearing a college skirt and uniform among them, which made her stand out from the crowd.

The first race Eve watched on her first morning was the obstacle course.Since the competition does not have separate male and female groups, only one woman, Akanlu, participated in this competition. Perhaps in order to perform better in this year's competition, she cut her hair, which was not considered long, a bit shorter .In the arena at this time, the girl with brown hair and blue eyes looked full of heroism, like a real Xi Daolun female warrior.

The game takes place on a training ground where half the ground is hard sand and the other half is covered with sand.At this time, various facilities and obstacles were laid in the field, some as high as tens of meters, some spanning tens of meters, vertical high walls, round wooden piles of different heights, deep and shallow trenches, criss-crossing cables, and counterbalance beams that seemed impossible to leave.The game is a two-person team, competing with each other. Akanlu is the first to play. The opponent in the same group is a man of medium height and well-proportioned body. It is said that he is also a strong opponent.The two were standing side by side at the starting position, with a short saber with a blade about 60 centimeters long hanging from their waists.Akanlu is wearing a sleeveless black dress and black trousers today. Even when her arms are relaxed, you can see a little muscle line. Her body is well-proportioned and powerful.

The two starters stood on both sides and issued preparation instructions. They lowered the flags in their hands, and the two players arched their bodies, looked ahead, and were ready to go.

With a quick and loud whistle, the two rushed out almost at the same time, and there was a burst of solidarity and shouts outside the arena.

The venues for the obstacle course are arranged in a serpentine shape, with different heights and well-proportioned layouts.The whole journey is 3000 meters in total, and it is divided into 10 sections, making the overall stadium look like a square.Each obstacle has its own rules for crossing, but at the same time, it has a certain degree of freedom, and the order and combination of obstacles will be rearranged every year in the obstacle run, which greatly enhances the randomness of the competition.This competition not only tested the physical strength of the contestants, but also tested their ability to plan routes and their own physical strength and emergency response ability. This competition is a double contest of strength and wisdom between the two sides.

When she reached the first obstacle, Akanlu was half a body behind the opponent, but seeing her still determined expression, she knew that this should be expected.

The first few obstacles can only be regarded as a warm-up. After passing through the balance bar, hole, trench, high board and ladder bar in sequence and turning to the second corner, the difficulty began to rise in a straight line.

The first is a wooden fence door, which is about half a meter high. When passing this obstacle, the contestants must smash it instead of crossing it.It can be chopped with a saber, kicked, smashed, smashed, or destroyed with a secondary magic attack that can only be used twice in the whole process.Both of them accelerated their running speed at this time, and they both chose to smash the board with their shoulders.The men in the same group still led by one head, climbed over the subsequent three-meter high bar and low pile net, and climbed on the round wooden stakes.

Round wooden piles are laid from the second half of the second runway to the middle of the third runway, and platforms are laid at the bends of the two runways.From here, the figures of the contestants gradually rose to a height of five or six meters above the ground as the round wooden piles became higher and higher.Eve and Nanfen stood in the stands on the low wall, watching the players move on the uneven logs, and they could see the details of their movements.

In this game, the leader has a hidden disadvantage, because the laggard can use the path of the forerunner as a reference, temporarily change the route planning, and achieve instant tying or surpassing.For example, on a round wooden pile, the arrangement of obstacles on both sides is exactly the same, and there are a small number of live piles buried in it. The laggard can not only refer to the opponent's travel route, but also pass the dumping of the opponent's previous round wooden pile. The position of some live piles can be determined to a certain extent, and there is a high probability of avoiding accidents.No, when the man in the same field stepped on two live piles and slowed down, Akanlu overtook the opponent when he turned into the third inner corner.There was a burst of cheers from the girls outside the arena.

After passing several high-altitude obstacles, the two turned into the fourth and fifth sections of the runway, and Akanlu maintained a two-meter lead.After entering the fifth section, there is a cliff spanning more than 30 meters in front of the high platform. A thick cable is tied horizontally on both sides of the cliff. The contestants need to climb up the soft ladder, go to a higher position to cut the cable and swing to the opposite bank.This obstacle is very ornamental, and how the contestants choose to cross the obstacle will also affect the difficulty of the opponent's passing. On the way to fly over the cliff, there will be several cables across the two sides of the track. Let the tip of the saber quickly cross the cable; due to the common obstacles, the cut rope will provide certain convenience for subsequent competitors.In addition, if the body position is too high when swinging the rope, it may not be able to reach the opposite bank due to insufficient follow-up strength. If the momentum is too strong, it may directly cross the opposite bank and fall off the track.

Akanlu took the lead to climb up the ladder. Without any hesitation, she jumped up from the high platform and drew the saber from her waist.She jumped forward for a long distance, grabbed the cable, and at the same time swung the saber in her hand to cut the cable, and swung forward with the momentum of her jump.Her speed was very fast, and while the rope was being thrown forward, she used both arms together to hang herself upside down on the cable, and her feet also hooked on the upper cable.Because she cut the cable so high up, most of the ropes that were obstacles in the way did not stop her.Akanlu hangs upside down on the cable and flies over the obstacle, causing applause and cheers from the audience.But when she was about to reach the opposite bank, the length of the rope seemed to be unable to successfully send her to the opposite bank, so she let go of the rope in her hand and let herself be thrown into the air. Shouting, I saw Eve also grasping the guardrail with all her strength, feeling extremely nervous.Akanlu stretched out her hand, chanted a spell in her mouth, and used a dodge technique dangerously to move herself to the high platform two meters in front of her. She rolled on the platform and ran non-stop into the next bend.Behind her, another competitor who cut all the obstacle ropes also successfully landed on the opposite bank.

There was constant applause in the arena, and Eve finally breathed a sigh of relief for her.Beside her, Nan Fen kept a faint smile, rubbing her temples with her fingertips from time to time.She was wearing a pale yellow satin dress today, looking elegant and noble, but Eve, who had been standing beside her, could smell a faint smell of alcohol on her body.

"How much did you drink last night?" Eve asked.

"Not much." Nanfen waved her hand, "I just drink a little when I'm happy."

"Why don't you go back and have a rest?"

"It's okay, it's just that I haven't had a drink for a long time, and I'm not used to it." Nanfen supported her shoulders and said, "When I was young, I often went out to drink with friends, and then..." She suddenly sighed, "Hey, I got married too early, and I feel that these old friends and classmates have changed now."

"You are still young, you can do whatever you want."
