“Clang ~ Clang ~”
In the evening, in the backyard of the Pedro Manor, Lin En was holding a wooden sword as he struggled to block the girl’s continuous attacks.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Ivana’s ruthlessness was still beyond his expectations. She did not hold back and slashed at his vitals. Compared to practice, it was more like a battle of life and death.
After the twenty-first move, the brown-haired girl once again struck the longsword in Lin En’s hand to the ground.
After fighting for nearly an hour, both Lin En and Ivana had reached their limits. Their arms and shoulders, which were hidden under their clothes, were covered in bruises, and their stamina was almost exhausted.
Lin En, who wasn’t good at close combat, didn’t manage to break Lott’s record, but Pedro, who was watching from the side, didn’t care. He could see that Ivana’s swordsmanship had improved, so it was normal for Lott to lose.
What made him even happier was that Lin En finally listened to his words. He was no longer as restrained as before when he fought, and he fought with more vigor.
“Stop. That’s all for today.” Baron Pedro waved his hand and stopped the battle. A smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.
“Not bad, my son. You’ve finally been enlightened. Just follow this fighting style. As long as you continue to practice diligently, you have a 70% chance of passing the test.”
There were two more open spots for the knight assessment this year, so the standard would definitely be lowered. In addition, he had donated a lot of money to the church, so they should be able to make some concessions.
At the thought of this, Pedro’s mood improved a little. Then, he turned to look at Ivana and said,
“Ivana, your swordsmanship is great, but you can stop practicing for a while and spend your time on other things.
” The son of Duke Nordland is indeed obsessed with swordsmanship. However, if you show too much strength, it will push him away…”
Pedro taught Ivana how to use the same interest to gain the attention of the duke’s son and protect her pitiful self-esteem.
Pedro was very satisfied with his daughter. Not only was she very pretty, but she also had excellent talent in swordsmanship. If he could use this as an opportunity to marry Duke Nordland’s eldest son, then the family would have the possibility of a revival in his hands.
Ivana gritted her teeth as she listened to Pedro’s words. Her delicate face was filled with unwillingness and hatred.
However, Pedro did not notice the girl’s expression. After some words of guidance, he did not stay any longer.
Due to the chaos caused by the devil worshippers, many important figures who were usually invisible appeared in Harbor Town. This was a very good opportunity for the Baron to befriend people of power!
After the baron left, Lin En looked at the brown-haired girl in front of him with pity.
To be able to have such a strong swordsmanship level at the age of sixteen, Ivana must have worked very hard. She probably wanted to win her father’s approval and change her fate.
Unfortunately, Pedro had always treated his daughter as a tool to curry favor with the powerful.
Perhaps after he left, Ivana’s situation would be better.
Lin En thought for a moment and put away the wooden sword in his hand. He deliberated over his words and prepared to say a few words of comfort to fulfill his responsibility as an older brother.
He remembered from the diary that Lott was very concerned about his sister.
However, before Lin En could open his mouth, Ivana had already raised her head and said coldly, “Are you finally going to dispose of me? My brother?”
..
When the light of the full moon illuminated the night sky again, the confused Lin En was led back to his room by the servant. He thought about it for the whole journey but still could not understand what the girl meant by her last words.
He didn’t expect a small baron’s manor to have such complicated relationships.
“Forget it. This is not something I should care about.” Lin En shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he was only temporarily using Lott’s identity and not some family mediator. Otherwise, he would definitely have a headache.
In comparison, he was more concerned about the devil worshippers that the Church had captured on their way back.
Lin En was unable to determine whether that person was Joni or Pigeon, or if both of them had been captured by the Holy Court.
But one thing was for sure. After suffering a great loss at his hands, Antioch had already made ample preparations. A total of 3,000 guards were secretly stationed outside the port town, and it was very likely that they were targeting him.
It was estimated that in a few days, the Holy Court would spread the news of the public execution of the devil worshippers after the Radiant Moon passed, attracting him to save them.
Lin En thought about how he had fallen headfirst into the Holy Court’s trap without any preparation and could not help but shudder.
Putting everything else aside, if 1,000 crossbowmen fired at him at the same time, he would immediately become a porcupine.
Breaking into the prison in advance was not a bad idea. After all, he could use transformation magic and disguise techniques to sneak in.
As long as he knew exactly who the arrested was and which cell they were in, Lin En was confident that he could save them.
After that, he had to consider how to escape from Harbor Town.
The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. He wasn’t the real Carl, and he didn’t have any feelings for Joni and the others. However, they had gone through life and death together. If possible, he still planned to save them.
“071, what can allow me to fight against 3,000 elite soldiers?” Lin En asked in his mind.
In the next moment, a list appeared in his eyes.
[Dongfeng-180 missile, plasma rail gun, antimatter bomb, high-energy ray, long-range galactic warship…]
“I only have a few days. Get me something reliable!” Lin En was speechless. If he could create these things, he would have kicked the Pope out of his position and brought this dark otherworld into the Middle Ages.
Under such a request, the list that was dozens of meters long was immediately reduced to a few lines. Lin En was quickly attracted by a picture on it. His mind immediately associated it with the thing he saw in the harbor shop. He actually forgot about this thing.
After thinking for a moment, Lin En immediately had a plan in his mind. However, it was obviously impossible for him to do everything by himself. It was best to find some reliable allies.
The cripple, Lauder…
The familiar name once again jumped into Lin En’s mind. This was the easiest help he could get in Harbor Town. The other party was deeply involved with the mages, and the probability of him betraying Lin En was extremely low.
The remaining problem was how to find this old fox who was hiding!
