Chapter 18 I Am Not Illiterate!

In the dark night, a figure ran swiftly... towards the location of the light [Rose Mansion].

This figure seemed to be quite familiar with the surrounding environment. Soon it came to the outside of the wall of [Rose Mansion]. It jumped easily, pressed its palms on the wall, and jumped directly into the wall.

It rolled a few times when it landed, and after the impact was relieved, it quickly stood up, and then got close to a window near the mansion hall, quietly peeking into the mansion hall.

But soon, this walker in the dark was alarmed by what happened in the hall of the mansion.

At this time, the blood of the beheaded militiaman had flowed out to the extent of a small pool... In the hall, the Burgundian cavalry was murderous.

As for the people on Mr. Jacques' side who were besieged, their expressions were ugly.

…

"I am Leon Bell, captain of the cavalry." The leading young knight sneered: "I'm sorry, from now on, you are all my prisoners."

"Damn Burgundians!!"

In an instant, two village militiamen who were excited because their companions were beheaded directly raised their weapons and rushed towards the young captain Lyon Bell.

But almost at the same time, two of the entry cavalry also rushed out quickly... With a simple contact, the cavalry easily knocked down the two militiamen to the ground.

Whether it was equipment or physical condition, the militiamen obviously couldn't compare with this kind of regular cavalry... It was completely expected that they were knocked down easily.

"It seems that some of you are disobeying my sentence." The cavalry captain Lyon Bell shook his head and said with a dull expression: "Maybe you still don't understand your situation."

"Burgundian cavalry, what do you want to do!"

Mr. Jacques took a deep breath at this time, walked out slowly, put his palm on the sword at his waist, and looked at the armed cavalry with a livid face.

At this time, the young Lyon Bell turned his head and looked at Mr. Jacques. He did not answer Mr. Jacques's question, but said directly: "Since you have a sword in your hand, then I will give you a chance to fight me fairly. As long as you can win If you pass me, I can let you leave this place."

Nan Xiaonan listened and said sarcastically the next moment: "If you let us leave this house and then catch us back, it won't be considered a breach of the promise."

Lyonbert looked at him coldly, but did not refute. Instead, he looked at Mr. Jacques again, "Pull out your weapons, the master of the house, like a warrior, facing the challenge of fate."

Mr. Jacques's face changed slightly. He held the hilt of the sword with his palm, but his fingers kept loosening and tightening.

"Sir, don't listen to him! Let's rush out!"

"That's right! These Burgundian butchers must not be so kind! We rush out. Even if only one of us can return to the village, we must bring back the news that the Burgundians are coming!"

"Monsieur Jacques!"

"Enough!" Mr. Jacques shouted in a deep voice. Under the eyes of everyone, he slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and then pointed it at the young Lyon Bell, "Knight of the Burgundians, I accept your challenge. ! I hope you can abide by the oath of the knight!"

"It looks like tonight won't be too boring." The young man smiled, waved his hand and said directly: "Bring me my weapon!"

In an instant, a cavalryman behind him came to Lyon Bell holding a two-handed sword... A heavy weapon like a two-handed sword was astonishingly heavy, but the young Lyon Bell easily raised it with one hand and waved it. The moment, there was no difficulty at all.

This amazing arm strength instantly made several militiamen look horrified.

Mr. Jacques himself is not a soldier. He only has some property in the village and runs a farm. Even if he has learned some skills, he is probably a monk halfway. How can he duel with Lyonbert, a guy who can easily pick up a two-handed sword?

This was not a fair duel at all.

"Why not, let me do it."

At this moment, a voice that seemed to calm Ran suddenly sounded. However, although the voice came suddenly, it did not make people feel that it was abrupt.

It was like a slight gust of wind, which even instantly dispersed the tense atmosphere in the hall.

"What an incredible guy..." Mr. Asaches muttered at this time, and then all his energy fell on the speaker.

The resident of his mansion, the traveler from Qidu: Mr. Luo.

…

…

What makes Nan Xiaonan curious is that the boss will actually take the initiative to stand up. Even if he needs to find someone to stand up and solve the matter, it should be himself as a new employee who does not have human rights yet?

You [indescribable being], stop playing around!

The maid lady... The maid lady looked as usual at this time. Nan Xiaonan admired the maid lady's calmness. After knowing her for so long, Nan Xiaonan found that no matter what the boss wanted to do, the maid lady would never have any objection.

This kind of crazy blind obedience has repeatedly made Nan Xiaonan secretly sigh in disbelief... But on the other hand, perhaps only the unconditional approval of this maid lady can be recognized by the boss?

Unconditional obedience... deep down in your heart, not even the slightest bit of resistance instinctively?

Nan Xiaonan asked herself that she couldn't do it, even if she was bound by the black soul messenger, even if she lost the possibility of betrayal, her inner thoughts were...

At this moment, Mr. Jacques was startled by the young man who was promoted, and then nodded: "Young man, I recognize your courage, but it is a pity that the time we have known each other is too short. I appreciate your kindness. But this duel should belong to me."

Boss Luo looked at Lyon Bell, "I should also have the right to resist, right?"

The cavalry captain sneered again and again at this time, but his eyes showed some teasing, "I also appreciate people with courage, and I am more willing to accept those who dare to challenge fate. I even welcome the two of you to attack me together... Give This brave young man has a sharp sword."

The cavalry captain was quite arrogant and confident, but he was probably quite intimidating to his subordinates. In an instant, a cavalryman pulled out his weapon and threw it directly at Boss Luo's feet.

"Actually, this sword is enough for me." Boss Luo shook his head at this time.

He reached out and put his hand on the back of Mr. Jacques' sword-holding hand. Mr. Jacques was immediately startled, "It's a good thing that you have courage, but you shouldn't force yourself..."

He saw Luo Qiu's eyes and swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.

Under the gaze of these calm eyes, Mr. Jacques allowed the other party to take the sword away.

Mr. Jacques gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice beside Boss Luo: "Young man, you are a brave guy! You must survive. If you can defeat this knight, I will even marry my daughter to him." you!"

When Boss Luo heard this, he smiled slightly... but he looked at the maid aside, and then responded: "I think, because of this sentence, I have a reason to take action... This is really a big deal for me. , the most precious promise.”

Mr. Jacques didn't hear anything wrong.

After all, he wanted to marry his daughter, which was indeed a valuable promise... But he never thought that this young man could defeat his opponent. At this time, he was just giving him some encouragement.

Of course, if this young man can defeat his opponent... In this era when wars have even spread to remote villages like this, it would be a good thing to have a brave son-in-law.

Anyway, Jeanne is still young, so we still have time to get along with her.

For a moment, it was enough for Mr. Jacques to think about many things.

…

"It seems that you have already discussed it." Lyon Bell seemed to be very patient.

Or maybe he was enjoying watching his prey struggle.

With that said, Lyon Bell walked out with a big sword and sneered, "This is really a beautiful promise, and it will even become a good story that will be spread... The premise is that you can defeat your fate, me!"

The big sword slashed out in an instant, and the howling wind was very scary. Boss Luo took two steps back and dodged to avoid it. The big sword struck directly on the floor at this time, making a large hole in the floor.

Mr. Jacques and the others could not help but sweat secretly for this young man who had been promoted.

Nan Xiaonan was half-heartedly planning to look through it to see if there were any snacks or anything like that...and then she remembered that [Rose Mansion] was a very poor place.

Huh?

At this moment, Nan Xiaonan discovered that the maid lady was no longer around... She subconsciously looked for it, but saw that the maid lady had already reached the counter in the lobby.

What is she doing?

Nan Xiaonan couldn't help but widen her eyes as she watched the maid slowly turn the needle of a record player placed behind the counter.

This record player is very old and has always been placed on the counter of the mansion. It is probably a valuable thing in [Rose Mansion]?

The sound of fencing gradually became more frequent, and Boss Luo, holding a one-handed sword, was walking dexterously around Lyon Bell.

The maid girl dug out a record at this time. Nan Xiaonan believed that this record definitely did not belong to [Rose Mansion]... Anyway, she even took out the microscope, so she didn't care about the record.

With a chuckle, the maid put the record into the record player and put the needle down.

The record turned slowly, and the bronze speaker began to play the melody of the record... The melody sounded in the hall of the mansion.

It's a symphony.

[Revolutionary Etude in C minor].

Time seemed to slow down a lot because of this strange melody... The thrilling duel seemed to have become a bloodless game because of the sound of the music.

The maid's eyes gradually blurred as she looked at Boss Luo, who was pointing at the sword.

A simple sword draw, a simple dodge... Under the beautiful notes of the etude, Boss Luo's sword became lighter and lighter. This swordsmanship actually came from the dragon-slaying skill he learned in [Chessboard World].

The sword is getting faster and faster, accompanying the rhythm of the music, like a continuous drizzle.

But Lyon Bell became more and more uncomfortable. The sword with both hands was invincible and overwhelming... But at this time, he seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, and there was a feeling of delay all over his body, as if the speed of swinging the sword was It’s also much slower!

The more he hit, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more uncomfortable the attack became, the more chaotic the rhythm of the attacks became... Gradually, even his breathing became very disordered!

At this time, most of the floor of the hall had been smashed to pieces by the two-handed sword, but from the beginning to the end, Lyon Bell could not touch the opponent.

Instead, the seemingly ordinary one-handed long sword had struck Lyon Bell's body many times. If he hadn't been wearing armor, he would have had at least ten wounds on his body.

"Damn it! Where is the music... what kind of witchcraft is this! Stop it!"

The disordered breathing and uncomfortable rhythm gradually let the young man know that the young cavalry captain, who was also capable, became upset, and he even couldn't help but roar.

"Get that woman... no! That must be a witch! Get this witch! Stop this damn noise!! Give it to me!"

The sound stopped suddenly.

That simple one-handed sword, at this moment, took away Lyon Bell's big sword, and then, like lightning, it pierced Lyon Bell's throat!

This is a place where even armor cannot defend.

Lyon Bell instantly felt as if he was struck by lightning. He froze and took a deep breath... The sword he held in both hands could no longer be lifted. The touch of the blade of the one-handed sword against his throat made Lyon Bell I even smelled the extremely strong smell of death.

"Concession."

The music continued, and Boss Luo's voice seemed to be one of the notes.

When the cavalry saw this, they were all stunned at first, and then their first reaction was to pull out their weapons at the same time and approach!

Mr. Jacques was the first to react as if he had just woken up from a dream, and shouted quickly: "Knight of Burgundy, can't you afford to lose? I will nail your dignity and shame to my body, even if you die and go to Hades, I will also spread your great name!”

"Stop it!" Lyon Bell shouted in a deep voice at this time, his expression extremely ugly, "Back off!"

…

The sword was also pointed at Lyon Bell's throat.

At this time, Mr. Jacques asked the remaining militiamen to go upstairs and bring Ludick and the male assistant down.

Mr. Jacques looked at everyone and whispered: "I'm afraid they will come back to pursue us immediately after we leave... We have to disperse our operations, and no matter who it is, we have to send back the news of the Burgundians' attack. Do you understand?" !”

"We understand, Mr. Jacques."

Mr. Asaches also nodded at this time, looking at the traveler Mr. Luo nervously... I don't know how long he can suppress this Lyon Bell.

At this time, there was no time for Asaches to consider some unusual things.

For example, that village has no electricity, but [Rose Mansion] has electricity... For example, the record player that just played music. From his observation of the village, this village does not even have any mechanized things.

How could Mr. Jacques have the nerve to say that he built the mansion?

But the situation really did not allow Asaches to ask these doubts... He and Livar, one by one, supported the male assistant and Ludick. Under the leadership of Mr. Jacques, everyone slowly exited [Rose Mansion] .

"You go first." Boss Luo said at this time.

Mr. Jacques knew that this was a strategy to leave time for the people on his side to escape...but equally, the danger to this young man would increase exponentially.

But this was not the time to be a mother-in-law. Mr. Jacques took a deep breath: "You must come back alive! Come and fulfill my promise...child!"

…

"Um...are we going to abandon the boss like this?" Nan Xiaonan couldn't help but quietly asked beside the maid.

"Let's go to the village and wait for the master to come." The maid smiled slightly at this time.

Why do you seem to be in a good, good, good mood?

…

The sword was still pointed at Lyon Bell's throat, and only Boss Luo and the Burgundian cavalry were left in the hall.

Lyon Bell had calmed down at this time, "Brave swordsman, your swordsmanship is very good. Are you interested in joining my army? I can guarantee that you will be my most important partner in the future!"

"Military life may not be very suitable for me." Boss Luo smiled casually at this time, "I am undisciplined."

While saying this, Boss Luo also gently put down the long sword.

In an instant, the tense cavalry swarmed up, completely surrounded the people, and pressed hard.

At this time, Lyon Bell waved his hand to stop the approaching cavalry, and persuaded him again: "It seems that you are not from the village. Donremi Village is already an isolated place, and it will only fall sooner or later. Smart people know that they should How to choose. I believe you are not the kind of person who would ruin your future just for the sake of a rural woman’s marriage contract. This woman may even be illiterate!"

"My companions should have gone far away." Boss Luo said with a casual smile: "Then, I have to say goodbye... I hope you all will have a pleasant evening here."

"Humph, I don't know how to praise." Lyon Bell shook his head: "I cherish talents, but I don't like hard bones."

Wave.

The cavalry no longer had any scruples in an instant. They all grinned ferociously and waved their weapons to face the swarm of attacks. Boss Luo's expression was average.

At this moment, the lights on the top of the mansion hall suddenly exploded, making a loud bang... At the same time, the window on the side suddenly smashed open, and then three fist-sized balls were thrown directly into the hall. middle.

In an instant, the ball released a thick gray smoke... This smoke was even highly irritating. Inhaling even a little bit would make people cough uncontrollably, causing burning pain in the throat, nose, and eyes.

"Damn it! Stop hacking! We're teammates!"

"ah!"

"Where is the person? Where are they going! The person ran away... Chase!! Chase quickly!!!"

…

…

The movement in the hall gradually became much quieter, and all the cavalry seemed to have chased them out...including the captain Lyon Bell.

In a room on the third floor of the mansion, under the dim light of the moon, the outline of the place could be vaguely seen.

"Thank you for saving me, Miss Jeanne." Boss Luo's voice sounded suddenly.

"Shhh."

I saw a figure leaning against the door, listening attentively... The girl quickly put her finger on her lips, "Maybe they haven't gone far yet!"

"You should go far away." Boss Luo said, "Why is Miss Jeanne here?"

The girl breathed out slowly at this time, "I have been following you all the time, but you don't know it. I just didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing... Anyway, thank you for saving my father."

"I'm just trying to save myself." Boss Luo said softly.

"Anyway...thank you!" The girl seemed to dare not look at the young man's eyes. She looked slightly out the window and her voice was lower, "Also, I...I'm not illiterate!"

She even accentuated her tone.
