MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 272 You are very good at playing, huh?
In the practice room, Corinna held the knight sword with both hands, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Are you ready?"
"Of course I have no problem, but are you...really ready?"
"If you are worried about me, there is no need. I have received good physical training since I was a child, and a little discomfort can't affect me. And if you think I have the qualifications to be your opponent."
The girl's words stopped here, and the long sword pointed at the opponent was the best answer.
Lin En smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to draw out his long sword.
In fact, if you only look at the contest between the two parties, you will definitely think that this is an unfair duel.
Because of this duel, both sides are not allowed to use magic power, and only use pure skills as a competition, but apart from skills, the choice of weapons is also a factor that will affect the outcome.
The knight sword must have the advantage over the long sword, because the knight sword can suppress the opponent in all directions no matter in terms of quality or length.
However, if the factor of weapon users on both sides is also added, that possibility is not too unfair.
After all, women are considered to be at a natural disadvantage in the confrontation of power, and adding some favorable weapons can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings.
"Huh—"
Taking a deep breath, Corinna narrowed her eyes, her whole body tensed.
Although due to the impact of last night's incident, it may be difficult for her to focus on fighting to reach the peak, but maybe it is enough for just sparring?
Anyway, the opposite is also a magician.
Even if he has practiced swordsmanship since he was a child, even if he has a record of defeating opponents like a warrior, but as a magician, it is impossible for him to practice swordsmanship every day, right?
Where does so much energy come from!
As for myself, I never gave up.
If she uses her magic power, she really doesn't have much confidence, but she doesn't think she will lose when she collides with pure skills.
"Here we come."
Shouting to show fairness, Corinna stepped forward, and the knight sword in her hand drew a beautiful arc from the upper right to the lower left.
This is a very simple slash, but also an absolutely powerful blow.
Its way of exerting force is the choice that can maximize its own strength, and the arc of the knight's sword swing can also use the inertia to increase the power of slashing, coupled with the natural advantage of the knight's sword length, the coverage area is not small, if not in time Dodge, even if it only touches the corner of the body, it may bring a major blow.
The long sword is a weapon with stabbing as the main means of killing. When faced with such a forceful and powerful attack, it is difficult to resist it head-on and can only avoid it.
But if they dodge it, the next thing that greets the longsword user will be a more powerful continuous attack after the knight sword flips over.
After all, the existence of the knight sword is to go to the battlefield, and there is no retreat in the confrontation on the battlefield. Once you shrink back, it is a dead end.
So, what are Lynn's options?
Corinna stared closely at the boy's figure, trying to use the other's subtle movements to judge her next choice.
However, his actions almost made her stunned.
Lin En's right hand holding the long sword was originally hanging down, but after she started to move, he suddenly switched hands holding the sword, holding it with the backhand, and raised it lightly.
Want to head-to-head?
No, it's not head-to-head.
This is life changing!
Faced with the slash from the upper right to the lower left, Lin En chose to counterattack from the lower left to the upper right, but his sword body was slightly inclined, and after the two came into contact, he slid directly upwards, and his body, It is also slightly inclined along the power of the knight's sword, and while venting the force, it can also reduce the scope of his injury.
And the long sword slid, where did it go?
"Boom—"
Corinna kicked Lynn's abdomen in time, and after being held up, she used the interaction of force to separate them, touching her chest with lingering fear.
If he really let his sword slide up, then he could use the twist of his body to make the sword point directly at his heart, and at that time, he would most likely be in a state where he would not be able to turn around and fight back immediately after hitting the opponent, and he would not be able to resist.
Such an exchange is unacceptable to anyone.
"Damn it."
Taking a deep breath, Corinna gritted her teeth and launched another offensive.
However, what happened next undoubtedly ended with her forcibly closing her hand.
"钟—"
After another sound of gold and iron clashing broke out, Corinna took a few steps back, panting heavily.
At this time, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, which was caused by the weather and excessive physical exertion.
While the quality of the knight's sword makes it an advantageous weapon, it also means that it will bring a greater load to the owner compared to the long sword.
Without using magic power to replenish her physical strength, the high-intensity confrontation obviously made her feel a little difficult.
Fortunately, don't continue.
"Huh—"
Lin En lowered his sword, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's almost there."
"If it's just an exchange of skills, it should be about the same now. After all, after eliminating the magic power, everyone has so many skills. Now, they are almost used up."
“.”
Corinna stared at him for a long while, and finally had no choice but to let go of her hand.
"Whether it's magic or swordsmanship, you are... What a monster."
"No, no, no." Lin En denied with a smile, "It's not so much that my swordsmanship is better, it's better to say that my swordsmanship restrains you too much."
"Um?"
After being mentioned by him, Corinna suddenly realized something.
Indeed, in the fight just now, the skills Lynn showed were nothing more than his dexterity and adaptability, but in terms of real swordsmanship, he was somewhat stiff due to lack of practice.
Although this does not affect the whole process, if it is Corinna, she will definitely be able to do better with the flexibility of her body and the degree of control over the sword.
But it's a pity that he still beat Corinna with only this inexperienced skill.
And, precisely because of the restraint he said.
"I seem to care too much about myself." Corinna sighed, "Every time after the first shot, I was afraid that you would threaten my life, so the more I hit back, the more I thought. It’s no longer about how to win, it’s about countering what you counter.”
Seeing the leopard through the tube, the performance of swordsmanship also reflects the character of the girl.
"If you have too many scruples, it will never happen."
Corinna sighed again.
She has behaved like this in her life. Except for a little bold and arrogant one yesterday, she was conservative like a coward at other times, never daring to make big games.
Shaking her head, she put away the knight sword and looked at the time.
"It's almost there, we should go back, there will be children coming to practice later, don't take their place."
As a child of a noble family, martial arts is something that must be mastered, even if the future is going in a different direction, it must be possessed.
One is because of traditional reasons, and the other is because, if a war breaks out, the nobles are the ones who are likely to stand at the forefront of the front line.
Even if it’s just a child.
Lin En nodded in response to Corinna, and the two left the practice field together.
The two of them had no intention of hiding their path, so this news soon fell into the hands of Duke Christine, who was always paying attention to them.
"Pair practice?"
Duke Christine listened to the butler's return, thoughtful.
"Speaking of which, isn't that kid pretty good at fighting?"
"It seems to be said so." The butler said respectfully, "According to news, Lynn Blazer once set many unprecedented records when he was at the Rhine Academy."
"'The longest existence in natural disasters', 'the first student who won the freshman challenge championship as a freshman', 'won the first place at the end of the college with one person', etc., discarding the natural disaster survival records whose authenticity cannot be determined, The other two have genuine records, and his opponent is not simple."
The Duke, who didn't know much about it, asked curiously: "Oh? Who did he beat?"
"Everyone."
"All, everyone?!"
When he heard this answer, even Mr. Duke, who possessed a certain majesty, couldn't help being stunned for a while.
After a long time, he smiled: "It seems that if it wasn't for a little accident, he probably still doesn't like Corinna."
"Um"
Actually, the housekeeper wanted to refute, because Corina is not really nothing. Her appearance, talent, and other aspects are not weak, and she is higher than people of the same age.
Although in front of a real genius, it seems that it is not enough, but with the blessing of identity and background, it should at least be comparable, right?
Master, I really don’t like Miss.
The housekeeper sighed slightly in his heart.
Duke Christine couldn't detect what was going on in the housekeeper's mind. After thinking for a moment, he asked.
"Roselli, what do you think, how about letting that kid go to Bright Moon City?"
"Huh?" The butler was slightly taken aback.
Mingyue City is a fief owned by Duke Christine. Its area is not large, and its population is not too large. At best, it is only half of a normal earldom.
In general, this is obviously not normal.
You, a duke's fief, how could it be less than the earl.
Actually, it was an exchange.
Christine's ancestors used only a small amount of fiefdoms in exchange for higher titles, otherwise, they could have become a bigger lord.
In the past, Duke Christine didn’t really understand why he would take the opportunity of being a king of the country in exchange for a title.
If you have a wider fiefdom, more subjects, concentrate power on yourself, and have the final say on everything, wouldn't it be better than being a poor duke now?
Later he understood.
If Christine is allowed to manage a large number of fiefdoms.
The final result may be that the land and the title are gone.
After all, Christine doesn't even know how to do business, so can she expect them to engage in a more advanced economy?
After acquiring Bright Moon City, the old Duke Christine did not stay there when he knew his abilities, but as one of his own properties, it was impossible for others to take the lead.
So, the old duke could only bite the bullet and let his relatives manage it.
The result is that the more you manage, the worse it gets.
Mingyue City is located in Yenilia Province, the fourth largest province of the Rhineland. It used to be a medium-sized city, not prosperous but not poor, but when Christine's descendants settled in and managed it, it became a mess. Messy mud.
Because the juniors don’t understand management and only know how to squeeze the people, this place has been in a very tense atmosphere for a long time, and a large number of people have been lost. Later, when Christine’s juniors saw that there was no money to be made here, they refused to run here. This caused the management to be vacant for a long time, and the order was out of control. In the end, the entire Mingyue City became a chaotic area with no care. It was so chaotic that it was impossible to even sell it to other nobles, so it had to be left alone.
Now, the reason why Duke Christine mentioned wanting Lynn to go to that place was naturally not to let him recast order, because recasting order is not very effective.
What he was thinking about was whether he could let Lynn drive out those chaotic guys, or violently suppress them, and then he would take the opportunity to promote the restoration of order, and take this opportunity to sell the land at a low price.
He hadn't done this before, because nobles cared about their own reputation very much. This kind of major event of suppressing chaos will inevitably bleed, and if there is too much blood, it can't be hidden. If it spreads out later, he will definitely arouse the attack of public opinion , this is not a small blow to reputation.
Now with Lynn, it is much more convenient.
If people ask who did it, say Blazers, and if they ask you how Blazers can go to someone else's place, say they're daring enough to do anything.
Anyway, as long as it was not their Christine who did it on the surface, no matter how false the lie is, people can't use this method to attack their Christine.
Thinking of this, Mr. Duke even thought about selling it to anyone.
If the nobles don’t want it, they will sell it to merchants. If the Rhine merchants don’t want it, they will sell it to merchants in other places.
The world is so big, you can always find a buyer, right?
Now that we are about to enter the era of war, he needs to save some money so that he can make better preparations for the future.
After listening to the duke's thoughts, the butler naturally wouldn't refute, and nodded honestly.
"I think, sir, you are right."
"Then do it, go, tell that kid."
The Duke waved his hand, looked at the back of the butler leaving, and fell into deep thought again.
"By the way, do you want him to bring Corinna with you?"
Recently, Corinna has been a bit too eye-catching. If she doesn't let her cool down, that idiot Hearst may really have no chance to compete with her.
However, if she is allowed to go, what if she secretly uses her money to recruit people who are loyal to her and develop her own power?
Mingyue City, after all, still belongs to Christine's territory. Everyone knows that although there is no city owner, it is only temporary. If someone with Christine's surname comes to sit at this time, people will still recognize her, and if this Human abilities are quite strong, and it is not impossible to obey them if they can lead them to eat and drink.
"It's really difficult"
Duke Christine rubbed his brows, extremely troubled.
