Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

This set of playing methods sounds very ordinary, and it is one of those simple routines.

However, many times, the simpler the routine, the easier it is to kill someone.

Normally, Russell gives people the impression of being a reckless man. Even if he uses sword skills, it is impossible for him to make such a fast cut. At first glance, he looks like a power type.

But who would have known that the man was actually an agile person.

The bulging muscles on the body and the pectorals that can dance are all deceptive.

Even though he was standing behind Roya, Roya did not move at all. Seeing this, Russell had a grim smile on his face.

Although he still felt a little uneasy, looking at the other party's posture, the sword was at his neck, but he didn't react.

This one should be stable.

However, in fact, the closer the sword was to piercing Roja, the more Russell felt something was wrong.

Russell is a veteran of many battles. During his previous training and competition with everyone, he did not show any attributes related to speed, just to make everyone focus on that aspect.

Russell's disguise is very good, his own strength is very strong, and his basic attributes are quite high. Even if he doesn't use his strengths, he can easily beat up the adventurers present.

There was nothing wrong with his disguise. The reason why he exposed his true strength this time was entirely because the sense of crisis brought by Roya was too strong.

It was so powerful that Russell wondered if he had considered holding back when facing Roja, would he have been knocked down by the other party with one sword.

So there was no hesitation at all. Russell's thinking was very clear. He first feinted, then made a feint, and then suddenly attacked, trying to get rid of the opponent before he could react.

However, if the students of the Holy Land of Sword knew Russell's idea, they would definitely laugh out loud.

Russell is very strong, there is no denying that.

But he actually wanted to use his speed to defeat a sword god with one move.

Even a middle-ranking power wouldn't dare to say that it could defeat a lower-ranking power with one move.

It was also at the moment when the long sword was about to pierce Roya.

A slash came from far away and appeared in Russell's sight, and then the slash occupied Russell's vision.

"The light returns."

A cold voice came.

Chapter 296 My Own Knight

The extremely fast slash came from behind and quickly caught up with the sword swung by Russell, then suddenly cut off the long sword. The terrifying force was like a flood, hitting Russell's knight's sword recklessly.

Russell's face turned pale, and his sword was knocked away. Before Russell could react, a hand grabbed Russell's neck and lifted him into the air.

The powerful force almost made Russell unable to breathe. Russell's face turned red at this moment. Russell subconsciously reached out and grabbed Roya's right hand tightly.

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow and let go.

This powerful knight fell to the ground, gasping for breath, breathing in the fresh air greedily.

"I'm telling you, aren't you being too strong?"

Russell's eyes became strange, and he reached out to touch his neck. The slight touch caused a burning pain.

Luo Ya's expression remained calm. Maybe Russell's strength was indeed good, but that was all.

Defeating the opponent is a matter of course.

At this moment, everyone was in unspeakable shock.

"What's this kid's name? Roya?"

"This kid is so scary."

"Even Russell was defeated? Does anyone know how many moves the two exchanged?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again.

The skinny adventurer who spoke earlier said uncertainly, "It seems, it seems to be the same move as well."

At this time, everyone realized how terrifying Roja's strength was.

If it was said that he was able to defeat Claire in just a few breaths, this could be explained by Roja's strong strength.

But now even Russell has come on the court, but he still can't take on even one of Roya's moves. This can no longer be described as very strong.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Even Russell was no match for him, how powerful is he?

Everyone didn't dare to think about it and turned their eyes to the two people on the stage.

Alice watched the competition below with sparkling eyes, the corners of her mouth raised with a look of joy on her face.

Alice sat up from the chair, the white hem of the girl's skirt swaying slightly with the girl's brisk movements. The girl stood up, her cherry-like lips slightly pursed, and the girl shouted to the young man below: "Brother, you are awesome."

The young man looked back, and his plain face finally changed a little. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled and nodded at Alice above.

Russell stood up and saw the interaction between Roya and Alice. His already uncomfortable mood became even more bitter, and he couldn't help but show a hint of self-mockery at the corners of his mouth.

Having stayed in the palace for so long, even though he was the knight commander, he had never seen the girl smile so happily.

Russell sighed slightly, and his tense square face tried to look as gentle as possible.

The knight, who was in his thirties or forties, said to Roya in a deep voice: "Roya, you are very strong. The strong always have privileges. I can't teach you anything, so, as I said before, you can have your own time. I'm sure everyone has no objection."

Having said that, Russell glanced at the adventurers around him.

There may be envy and awe in their eyes, but definitely no jealousy.

This is the privilege that the strong should have. If there is not even this privilege, who would work for the kingdom?

Alice standing on the stage nodded slightly, and the girl's expression became serious. The girl coughed a few times at this time, attracting everyone's attention.

Luo Ya looked at the quirky little girl on the stage with curiosity. He always felt that she became different after seeing him.

Alice blinked at Luo Ya, then slowly said: "I want to make Lord Luo Ya my knight."

The girl paused, assessing everyone's gazes.

Everyone was still in shock, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock that Roya had given them.

Even after hearing Alice speak like this, there was still no reaction.

Alice thought for a moment and added, "My own knight."

Only then did everyone show a look of surprise.

Russell smacked his lips, trying to figure out what Alice meant by that.

Russell originally thought that Roya and Alice had a special relationship.

But now it seems that this is not unusual at all. On the first day of entering the palace, I received an invitation from His Highness, and on the second day I became His Highness's confidant.

Not everyone can become a confidant of the royal family.

Although the so-called confidants and privileges are not many, just being by the princess' side is itself the greatest privilege.

Part of the reason why Claire was able to become Alice's knight was because she came from one of the most powerful families in the country.

Thinking of Claire, Russell couldn't help but cast a few sympathetic glances at her.

When someone is favored, someone will naturally fall out of favor.

Even though Claire is not in such a serious state of disfavor now, who would feel good about having an unexpected competitor?

When he looked over, he saw Claire in the crowd, with her eyes lowered and a somewhat lonely expression on her face.

The short golden hair seemed to become a little dim at this moment.

Alice walked down from the stage, and for a moment everyone's eyes were focused on Alice. Alice's posture was elegant, and the white skirt just parted when it was about to touch the ground. The white knot on the girl's chest looked so pure, just like the girl's clear eyes and innocent appearance. Her posture was calm but with innocence and romance. This was a girl who could make people want to protect her.

With her long golden hair hanging down to her waist and swaying with the movement of her skirt, Alice walked straight to Luoya and looked into his eyes. Those eyes were so clear and serious. The girl asked again, "Lord Luoya, can you be my knight?"

There was a hint of anticipation in Alice's eyes, as if she was a little afraid that Luoya would refuse. The girl took a few steps forward again, stretched out her white and slender hands, grasped Luoya's left hand, and looked at Luoya with a touching expression.

However, in the face of Alice's expectant expression, Roya hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "No."

Alice is indeed very cute, even cuter than her two younger sisters in some ways.

But it was impossible for him to really stay in the castle with Alice and play house.

Hearing this, Alice's face flashed with obvious disappointment. The girl pursed her lips with a hint of grievance in her eyes.

Chapter 297 Knight

Roya subconsciously reached out and touched Alice's forehead. Looking at the girl's expression, he said helplessly, "I can't stay in the capital forever."

Everyone looked at the interaction between the two as if they had seen a ghost.

There was no doubt that Alice was cute, but no one had ever seen a girl with such an expression.

Claire, who was standing next to him, was so jealous that her eyes were red. The young knight could no longer hold back and rushed over. She said in a tone that was a little angry but more jealous, "How could you refuse His Highness? His Highness has never spoken to anyone like this before, and you still dare to refuse?"

However, when Claire was about to rush over, Russell grabbed her by the back of the collar.

Claire was stunned for a moment, then began to struggle, but the big hand held her tightly and she couldn't get free. Claire protested loudly, yelling words like "let me go".

Russell shrugged and ignored Claire. The middle-aged man's square face showed a rare helpless expression.

Russell nodded to Roya, pulled Claire aside, and said casually: "You guys continue, I'll take this guy away first."

Alice took a deep breath. The girl was not unreasonable. She was much more sensible. If it were other girls of this age, they would pester Luo Ya and persuade him with both soft and hard methods.

As for how to persuade, they can act coquettishly and cutely, or they can show a bitter expression in exchange for sympathy. They can even be a little arrogant and unreasonable.

This is a privilege for girls of this age.

But not Alice.

She, who is called the successor of the hero, cannot show such an expression.

But girls are just girls after all, and girls of this age are still too immature. Even Alice will show a sad expression if she can't get what she wants.

Alice still didn't give up. She suppressed the sadness in her heart. With a little pleading in her eyes, she looked at the young man again with her clear eyes. Alice clenched her hands slowly. The girl said with some hopelessness: "Then, at least please become my knight while you stay in the palace?"

"hiss."

The girl bit her lips tightly as if she had used up all her strength when she said this. Her charming expression made the knights and adventurers beside her gasp.

Alice's attitude made it impossible for others to even think of rejecting her.

Luo Ya really had no way to deal with the other party this time. Luo Ya did not refuse again. He nodded and said to Alice: "Okay, who told you to call me brother?"

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

If such a lovely girl suddenly started crying, everyone would feel very embarrassed and not know what to do.

At the moment, it seems that Luo Ya is not such a cold person.

Alice's face was filled with joy, and a bright smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her mouth. However, when Alice heard Luo Ya's words, her tone was filled with complaints: "But you refused to stay by my side all the time."

Luo Ya touched Alice's little head and sighed helplessly: "Alice, I have other things to deal with. I can't always be with you."

Claire, who was shouting over there, finally stopped talking.

Claire looked at Roya, then at Alice, and could no longer conceal the loneliness on her face.

The reason why she stood up was because she didn't want to see Princess Alice's sad expression, but deep down, she was expecting Roya to reject the girl's somewhat arrogant request.

But when the other party really agreed, the feeling of depression became even heavier.

"Obviously, obviously I was here first." Claire lamented, feeling that life was hopeless.

I should not have let Roya enter the capital.

The ups and downs of life made Claire feel so uncomfortable that she even had such thoughts.

Claire came back to her senses, gritted her teeth, slapped Russell's hand away, and glared at her old captain fiercely. Her eyes seemed to be asking him, "It's fine if you don't help me, but why are you stopping me?"

Russell smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

He still knew the temperament of his own knight.

If Claire really went up to cause trouble for Roya, she would probably be beaten up again.
