Civilization Guardian Front

The templar standing on both sides of the road held his sword hilt with his left hand, and saluted the girl with his right fist hitting his heart.

Alice nodded slightly in response.

Stand in front of the palace gate.

"Alice Ziberuk, please report to the archbishop."

As one of the very few people who can go directly to meet the archbishop without notification, Alice has never used this privilege.

The clergy and knights of the Black Iron Palace have long been accustomed to her style, and brought her words to the archbishop according to the usual procedure, and then returned to the gate of the palace.

"Your Majesty tells you to go directly to the bedroom to meet her."

Only then did Alice enter the interior of the church.

Under the towering circular dome, along the red carpet symbolizing blood and sacrifice, there are several exquisite candlesticks with hundreds of branch brackets on both sides.

A beeswax candle is inserted on the spike of the cup, and the pure golden flame flickers slightly at the top.

Looking at the end of the main hall, the tall base came into view.

Wearing a robe and a cloud scarf, a female icon covering her face and crying sits on it.

In front of the holy image, the pile of dead bones pierced obliquely by a spiral sword is continuing to burn.

"Goddess Kuat who weeps for the world, may your kingdom not come without sorrow, may your will be done on earth, and we, lost lambs, beseech your guidance..."

After praying devoutly to the goddess in front of the campfire, and ending with "This is what we all want", Alice then turned to the right side of the main hall, passed the long corridor, and climbed the stairs leading to the highest point of the side hall.

Take the last step.

A pure white door appeared in front of the eyes, which was completely opposite to the overall dark and cold tone of the sanctuary.

Alice was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, when she heard the Archbishop's voice as transparent as ice crystals, yet soft, coming from behind the door:

"come in."

"Yes."

The chief knight pushed open the heavy white door and stepped onto the soft carpet of the bedroom.

She looked into the depths of the bedroom, with her back to the door, standing in front of the window, looking down at the women in the entire central capital.

The Archbishop of the Cathedral of Centoria, the Faith Leader of the Church of Tears in the Southern Territory...

Guinea

Tall, slender, slim...

The back view alone gives people an extraordinary and beautiful impression.

Her long lavender hair fell like a waterfall and reached her ankles, and the purple long dress carefully tailored by the imperial craftsman paled in comparison to the bright luster that far surpassed that of satin, and could only be reduced to a humble foil.

The floor-to-ceiling windows reflect eyes that are the same color as the woman's hair, but more unpredictable.

"Thank you for supervising the training of the volunteer soldiers by the guards."

"This is the subordinate's duty."

Through the glass mirror, she saw the blond girl kneeling and half-kneeling to show respect to her, Guinea smiled.

She turned around, walked slowly in front of Alice, stretched out her hands to help her up, and then asked:

"How, are there any talents worthy of attention in the Volunteer?"

"Yes, this subordinate is trying to report this to you..." Alice replied:

"A trainee volunteer soldier named Chios Pesheim is particularly outstanding. Although his physical fitness is only comparable to that of a lower-level knight, his swordsmanship is unprecedented among his subordinates, and he is by no means inferior to a paladin. In the case of equal strength, the subordinates have no certainty of defeating him."

"Oh?" Guinella became interested.

"Also, he was the one who suggested to my subordinates yesterday that the guards should replace the professional guilds to train the volunteers."

Chapter 830 Three? To Prevent You From Poisoning Seedlings

After returning to the hotel and sending the sleeping Ren back to the room, Chios went downstairs to the hotel lobby.

Sweeping his gaze, he soon found Asuna and Lyfa sitting in the corner.

They're talking about the tournament...

"The championship prize is 50 gold, even if you enter the quarterfinals, you will get 5 gold, which is equivalent to several million yen..."

Lyfa rested her chin on her hands and looked up at the ceiling.

However, since she was a junior high school student and she was not from a wealthy family, it was really hard for her to imagine what kind of a huge sum of money that was, and she could only imagine it through the current daily expenses.

"Living like this is enough for several years, and if life is better, it can last for a year... Sigh, if I don't know that I am too weak to meet the qualification requirements, I would like to try it. "

"Well, we are not even "Obsidian" now..."

Twirling the water glass in her hand with her thumb, Asuna stared intently at the swaying and wrinkled ripples on the water surface.

"I heard from the guiding sergeant that "steel" is the standard for a qualified fighter, and the regular army of the guard regiment must at least reach this stage. If you want to be the captain, promotion to "sapphire" is a necessary condition. "

"real or fake?"

Lyfa looked astonished.

Seeing Asuna nodding seriously, she couldn't help but hugged her head and wailed softly:

"Ah, there are many strong people in this place. Any soldier is more terrifying than my opponent in the kendo competition."

"Because they often need to fight. Unlike us who come from a peaceful world, in addition to daily training, they also have to face actual combat that may kill them. That kind of experience is completely unimaginable for us now."

After hearing what Asuna said, Lyfa sighed.

"makes sense..."

After today's training, she can more or less understand the severity of the real battlefield.

Just having an extra shield in the enemy's deputy will make the battle situation much more complicated.

The shield can not only block almost all frontal attacks, push forward to limit the opponent's movements, but also can be used as a blunt weapon to hit people when necessary.

The cruelty of actual combat is far more than that...

There may not be only one opponent. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to deal with flanking attacks from front, back, left, and right at the same time with one against two, or even one against many.

Besides, the enemy doesn't know the rules.

Sneak attacks, throwing rocks, kicking sand, setting traps, and all sorts of insidious tricks are possible.

After all, the result of losing is death.

Fighting with one's life on the line, how can one care about rules and demeanor...

To survive is to win.

Compared with actual combat, a kendo competition with clear rules and venues, one-on-one scoring and scoring is simply a game like playing house.

Thinking of this, Lifa limp on the table weakly.

"The only one who can easily cross this gap is Mr. Chios..." Playing with her long bright yellow hair, she muttered:

"I don't know how he became so powerful. Could it be that he was one of the top ten killers in the world, a heir to the ancient swordsmanship genre, a gold medal spy, or a super soldier cultivated by the government's secret experiments?"

puff...

Asuna couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

"You watch too many movies."

"I know it's outrageous to say this, but Mr. Chios is really ridiculously strong. It's really hard to imagine without thinking about the surreal. Maybe this is the gap between ordinary people and geniuses..."

Lyfa laughed at herself.

"By the way, Asuna, what is your soul level? Let me tell you first, I am level 10."

"I'm level 13..."

"Huh? Asuna, do you usually do any special exercise?"

"No." Asuna shook her head in denial.

"Although she does exercise regularly, it's definitely not as good as Lyfa who spends a lot of time practicing kendo every day."

Hearing what she said, Lyfa was even more confused.

After thinking for a while, a thought suddenly appeared in her mind...

"Asuna, are you doing well in school?"

"Hmm...it's okay, there shouldn't be any subjects that I'm particularly bad at."

"Ah~~~ Appeared, top students are more than capable!"

Standing up while propping up the table, Lyfa pointed to her face, revealing her confidence, but Asuna, who kept her words reserved, almost firmly concluded:

"Are you always the first in the class in grades, and then when asked by classmates how to prepare, you always answer "No, I didn't study much", the kind of top student who overwhelms people's self-confidence? "

"Eh???"

Asuna opened her eyes wide.

Isn't this too much to say?

She doesn't remember ever telling her classmates what Lyfa said so hypocritically...

Besides, I am obviously the number one in the whole grade...

"I can assure you that Asuna is not the kind of scheming girl..." Chios, who had been watching silently, finally intervened in the conversation between the two.

"She doesn't need to gain vanity by pretending to be a genius, because she is good enough, otherwise, I wouldn't like this student so much."

After speaking, the young man who came to the table leaned over and kissed Asuna lightly on the head.

chirp...

"Old, teacher!?" Asuna's cheeks flushed suddenly.

Seeing her panicked reaction, Chios approached with a smile and asked:

"Is it disgusting to you?"

"No...it's not...I just hope you can give me a little time to prepare."

"No, okay." Chios resolutely refused.

"Eh?"

"If you do that, won't you lose your cute reaction?"

"Woo~"

Asuna, whose ears were already flushed, couldn't bear the shyness, so she simply closed her eyes and didn't look at the young man who was close at hand, completely acting like an ostrich.

Words against her will flew out of her mouth like a cannonball:

"Hate, hate, the teacher hates the most..."

In this regard, Chios can be said to be indifferent.

"Yes, I know, then I'll sit with Lyfa."

"No!" Asuna opened her eyes abruptly.

With a sharp coldness in her eyes, she grabbed the young man's hand and dragged him back to the bench where she was.

"Teacher, please sit here!"

"Oh..." Chios glanced at Asuna who held him back and ordered him.

With his other hand he took the oak mug full of ale and brought it to his mouth.

"As a class of students, but you are so rude to the teacher, are you drunk or drunk?"

What's the difference between the two options...

Asuna cursed inwardly.

"Excuse me, what I drink is water, teacher..."

She was scared by Chiosbi's words yesterday, and she will not back down easily this time.

"Besides, I did this to prevent you from abusing underage girls, and it is not beyond my duty as a student."
