Things about the female knight in black stockings

"Humph."

Valencia glared at the two women again, then turned her attention to the young man, with her hands on her hips and an angry look on her face:

"Cousin Bill, what do you mean by this? Didn't we agree on it at the beginning? I have already given up my position as the heir of the family, and you still want to steal my sister Melina? Can you save some face? You are so greedy?"

"...One moment is no longer the other, Cousin Valencia."

Facing Valencia's anger, the young man remained calm:

"Now is the time for the family to hire people, and Melina is an elite carefully cultivated by the family. I can't just watch her talent go to waste."

Chapter 26 This duel is absolutely fair

"Stop fooling me with those big principles!"

Valencia dismissed Bill's words and stood firmly in front of Melina:

"If the family is short of talents, you should train them! Anyway, you are not allowed to take advantage of Sister Melina! Sister Melina is mine!"

"...I think you may have misunderstood me, cousin Valencia."

Bill's temples seemed to jump twice, and he was very helpless:

"I don't mean to take Melina away from you. She is still your personal maid... But you will be at the Zhan Zhan Academy for the past three years. There are very few places where you can use a maid, right?

It would be too much of a waste for a talented person like Melina to work in the Adventurer's Guild... The training she received since childhood was all about how to assist the family leader, and her results were very good.

She has to work anyway, and the Badr family is obviously more suitable for her, isn't it?

If you are really worried, I can also sign a formal employment contract with her. The salary... is calculated as 20 times the salary of the Adventurer's Guild. How about that? "

"Haha, you're speaking nicely now. Didn't you just plan to do it forcefully?"

Valencia sneered disdainfully:

"Based on your performance just now, don't expect me to believe a word of you again! I'll say it again, Sister Melina is mine, and you are not allowed to have any ideas about her!"

"...I was indeed a little too hasty just now...forget it."

Bill took another deep look at Valencia:

"I won't give up anyway. You have to go to school. You can't keep trying to stop me... Let's go."

"You stop!"

Seeing Bill turning around and wanting to leave with the people, Valensa was furious.

She sped up and walked around to Bill, pulling out her alloy sword:

"After all, you are plotting something against Sister Melina, right? Then there is nothing more to say. Let's duel according to the convention of resolving problems among nobles!"

"A duel..."

Bill looked at Valencia's fighting posture and thought thoughtfully:

"If I remember correctly, cousin, you didn't know anything about swordsmanship three years ago. I didn't expect that now... It seems that the rumors from the Zhan Zhan Academy are not exaggerated.

To be honest, I have always looked down upon your behavior of giving up responsibility and choosing to escape, but now it seems that maybe you are... okay. "

Bill also drew his sword.

It was a sword that was slightly shorter than the alloy long sword, but much wider.

"Cousin Valencia, how do you want to duel?"

"It's simple."

Valencia snorted:

"After all, we are all relatives, so we definitely can't fight to the death. Let's just stop it... If you lose, you are not allowed to harass Sister Melina again!"

"can."

Bill nodded cheerfully and asked with a smile:

"What if I win?"

"If you win...tsk."

Valencia bit her lip, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

Although she was confident that she would never lose, she still couldn't say that she would give up Melina if she lost, even if it was just to let Melina work temporarily.

The current situation of the Badr family is too complicated. Once it is taken over, it will be difficult to escape. Valencia must not send Melina into the quagmire.

But except for Melina, Valencia really didn't have many bets to take out at the moment.

...If it doesn't work out, just bet on the dividends from the cooperation with the Nola Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, just as Valencia was about to speak, Tia's voice suddenly came over:

"If Valencia loses, on behalf of the Brittania family, I will support you in your bid to become the next head of the Badr family. How about that?"

"It's Miss Brittania, it's an honor to meet you."

Seeing Tia, Bill quickly bowed and saluted, and smiled bitterly:

"This promise is certainly enough...even too heavy. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

"Then why don't you just add a little more bet?"

Tia's face was calm and she had no intention of returning the favor:

"If Valencia wins, not only will you not be able to harass Melina anymore, but you will also try your best to prevent other members of the Badr family from harassing Melina and Valensa. How about that?"

"This……"

Bill actually wanted to refuse, but Tia's expressionless look put a lot of pressure on him.

In the end, he nodded helplessly:

"Okay, I promise."

"...it's empty talk, and even if you put down a written statement, it can still be torn up."

Tia still looked very cold:

"Do you dare to swear to the Sun Goddess?"

"...Understood, I swear to the Sun Goddess..."

Bill gritted his teeth and swore an oath to the sun goddess exactly as Tia asked.

"Well, this is more or less..."

Tia then smiled and looked at Valencia:

"Okay, you can start the duel... Don't worry, I will personally serve as the referee. In the name of the Brittania family, I guarantee that this duel will be absolutely fair!"

"That's it...you don't have any objections, do you, Cousin Bill?"

With Tia's support, Valencia no longer has any worries and becomes more confident.

"...No problem."

Bill unexpectedly completely regained his composure. He did not complain at all about this obviously unfair duel, but pointed his sword at Valencia seriously:

"Let me see how much you have grown, cousin, in the three years since you left the family."

"Then I'm welcome!"

Valensa still knew Bill, her cousin.

Bill reached the Pearl level six years ago, when he was 16 years old, and had also participated in the Zhan Zhan Academy's admissions assessment. Unfortunately, he was not very lucky and failed to pass the exam at the third level.

To this day, although there has been no news that Bill has broken through the lighthouse, he is definitely at least at the pinnacle of the Pearl level, stronger than Valencia who just entered the Pearl.

If it were a life and death battle, Valencia could still use the assassination ring and the divine power rune to play dirty tricks, but the noble duel would not work.

This is a battle of hard power, and Valencia must win it with dignity.

But this uprightness is also a relative term, and Valencia will definitely not be able to use her full strength as soon as she comes up.

Nobles would give each other face if they didn't have deep hatred, not to mention they were relatives.

Valensa was sure that Bill would not be ruthless as soon as he came up, but would let Valensa attack a few times out of gentlemanly demeanor.

This is Valencia's chance.

Valencia didn't expect to win in these moves, because Bill was not a weakling, nor was he careless. He would definitely be on guard and defend with all his strength.

Valencia's purpose is to give Bill the illusion.

Without using the power of her mind to strengthen her, she exploded her agility to the limit, and the alloy long sword stabbed Bill's body at tricky angles with afterimages.

"Good come!"

Bill's eyes lit up, and sure enough, he didn't fight back immediately, he was just trying his best to defend.

As expected, he had never been able to break through to the lighthouse. He was a little behind Valencia in terms of agility, and it didn't take long for him to be unable to keep up with the rhythm of the alloy sword.

But Bill didn't panic at all. It wasn't until one of Valencia's thrusts was unavoidable that he let out a loud shout and a bright white light appeared on his body:

"Body care!"

Chapter 27 Supersonic Strike!

when!

A white mist-like light force burst out from Bill's body, blocking Valencia's sword and knocking Valensa back several meters.

Are you coming?

Valencia knew that this was the signal for Bill's move to end, so she did not dare to be careless, and changed from a strong attack posture with a sword to a defensive posture with a buckler.

really.

Without giving Valencia much time to react, Bill took the initiative and stepped forward, waving a broad-bladed sword with the power of light attached to it.

Valencia cautiously jumped back to get out of the sword's slashing range. At the same time, she threw the steel buckler in her hand and hit Bill's knee, which was bearing the weight of Bill's entire body.

Unexpectedly, the light power on the broad-bladed sword suddenly burst out and condensed into a light blade, instantly changing the cutting distance of Bill's blade from 0.8 meters to more than 3 meters.

"Brilliant Blade."

hiss.

It wasn't until the armor on the right shoulder and a few sleeves were chopped off by the light blade that Bill's deep voice reached Valencia's ears.

Body protection and shining blade...are these the inherited sword skills of the Badr family?It's pretty awesome.

Valencia felt very sorry.

If the family's inherited treasures were still there, she really wanted to learn these sword skills.

Unfortunately, these sword skills must be taught and practiced with the help of inherited treasures. Bill also learned his sword skills from Valencia's father.

Now that there is no inherited treasure, even if Bill wants to teach these sword skills to Valencia, he can't do it.

Because he doesn’t know the principles of these ancestral sword skills, he just knows how to use them... Just like the young people in Valencia’s previous life basically played with mobile phones, but how many of them could make mobile phones?

Valensa had some random thoughts for a while, but Bill showed no mercy at all. He cut off Valensa's shoulder armor and part of her sleeves with the brilliant blade before continuing the pursuit.

Fortunately, the shield thrown by Valencia finally hit the target. Bill, whose knee was hit, staggered, and the combo failed, allowing Valencia to regain her position.

But before she could take a breath, Bill swung his sword and attacked again. The three-meter-long light blade opened and closed in a continuous manner, and Valencia was quickly suppressed.

Many people who had been watching earlier shook their heads and sighed. Of course they all hoped that the beautiful girl could win, but currently it seemed that there was a huge gap between the two sides.

In addition to being slightly inferior in speed, Bill's strength, endurance, and skills are all better than Valencia's. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Valencia's failure.

"Do you need me to take action, Miss?"

Enoli quietly leaned into Tia’s ear:

"Don't worry, I will never leave any loopholes to make the result look like Mr. Bill failed accidentally."

"What? Enoli, do you think Valencia is destined to lose?"

Tia chuckled lightly:

"Then you are mistaken... If Mr. Bill only has this ability, he will lose immediately."

"Oh?"
