Chapter 392 The Flagpole Tied to the Tree

As I expected, after offering duel compensation, Harold immediately agreed.

He responded to me with a smile: "This is what it should be. Sparring is also very hard."

To be honest, his straightforward attitude made me a little embarrassed, so I decided to convert the thousand gold coins I had decided in my heart into one hundred gold coins.

In other words, one thousand gold coins seems to be a bit much.

The duel was scheduled for the morning of the next day at his guild training ground.

At that time, he will invite several experts who have studied melee combat to watch.

I don't care at all about his decision.

He is free to invite whomever he wants. I only need to do two things: first, fight well; second, pretend to be rich.

Back home, I started preparing for the next day’s battle.

Maybe I was rummaging too loudly, which disturbed Jackson on the side. He sat up and asked me, "Xiaoyi, what are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for the flagpole." At this point, I paused and changed my words: "I'm looking for a knife, a very long black knife."

"Oh" Jackson was thoughtful, thought for a while, and said, "Ah, you are looking for that flagpole, right?"

Me: Σ(°△°|||)︴

In fact, it did look like a flagpole, so I nodded helplessly: "Yes, that's the flagpole. Did you see it?"

"I saw it." Jackson pointed to the door and said, "It rained a few days ago. I thought the wind was too strong and was afraid of blowing down the trees in the yard, so I used the flagpole to make a fixed bracket. Go and take a look. Well, it may still be tied to it now."

Me: (╬￣俣)convex

I hurried to the yard, and sure enough, the flagpole (did you feel that the word 'hand' was used awkwardly? It's not just you, I am also awkward, but I hope everyone will remember that this is not an ordinary flagpole. The flagpole, but an Odachi! Odachi! Odachi!) was still tied to the tree in a daze. From a distance, it really looked like a clanging flagpole that would not fall down.

Without saying a word, I stepped forward, untied all the ropes tied to the 'flagpole', and threw them aside. Then, I laid the Odachi horizontally on the ground, holding the scabbard with one hand, and slowly lifting it with the other hand. Pull it out.

With the sound of cold metal friction, the Odachi was slowly unsheathed.

The pitch-black Odachi reflected diffuse light under the sunlight.

Phew~

I breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved - there was no rust.

I slowly put the knife into the sheath again, and walked into the room with the knife behind me.

Jackson saw me walking in with the 'flagpole' on my back and exclaimed: "Xiao Yi, what's the point of this flagpole? Why did you carry it into the room again?"

"Hehehehe" I let out four joking laughs, placed his so-called flagpole diagonally on the ground, and then slowly pulled out one end.

The sound of metal friction sounded again, and the black Odachi was unsheathed again. The sharp blade was completely black, making Jackson look dull.

"This is the name of the 'Flagpole'." I knocked the blade, and a small crisp sound came out: "It is actually an Odachi sword."

"This knife is too long." Jackson was a little weak: "Is it two meters?"

"More than two meters."

"Can you use such a long knife smoothly?"

"What's wrong?" I inserted the knife into the sheath, put it aside, and said, "They are knives anyway, just use them as you want."

He laughed dryly and made no further comments.

Perhaps it was because he finally realized that he could no longer understand the heart of a knife-wielding warrior.

It's also possible that he thinks I'm not normal, so he's not willing to talk to me anymore.

In short, it doesn't matter. It's me who will fight Harold tomorrow, not him. I decided to rest early tonight, recharge my batteries, and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

During dinner, all the girls praised the armor I gave them. They said that the armor was so strong that even the sword attacks of the stone monster were completely ineffective.

I was startled by these words and hurriedly reminded: "Don't do this again in the future. It is the stupidest behavior to test the knife with your own body. You can easily get hurt!"

Susan said that it was absolutely fine. As long as Gordo was there, it didn't matter how serious the injury was, it would only hurt a little.

Seeing Gordo's proud expression, I felt a black line on my forehead.

"You have to be careful," I reminded again: "If the monster is particularly strong and kills you instantly, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Susan rolled her eyes at me and said, "We are not stupid, how can we still not see what kind of monster is deadly and what kind of monster causes injury?"

Okay, I'm too busy.

I choose silence.

That night, the masked girl came to see me again. I quietly got up, opened the door and saw, my dear, the masked girl was addicted to sitting on the wall of my house. Every time she came, she would always sit on the wall and count stars. , in fact, judging from the outline, she is not only a girl with elven blood, but also a beauty with a slender figure and good looks. Unfortunately, this beauty has never shown her true face to me.

In fact, I was fully capable of taking off her veil easily, but that was too ungentlemanly, so I chose to give up.

This time, the masked girl did not jump off the wall directly. Instead, she sat on the wall and continued counting the stars.

"Come to me this time, what's the matter?"

I asked her in a low voice so as not to wake up the three girls who were resting. If they saw this scene, I would really be hard-pressed to explain!

The masked girl shook her slender legs and said, "Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

"Well, this is my home."

"What's wrong with your family?" The masked girl rolled her eyes and said, "So, you don't welcome me?"

"Welcome, of course you are welcome," I said a little awkwardly, "It's just that you always show up in the middle of the night, so I can't entertain you."

"No need." Her veil moved, as if she was smiling: "I have everything, I just want to come here and count the stars."

"Okay, okay" I continued to sit next to her and watch the stars with her.

Anyway, we have to fight tomorrow, so we can relax in any way tonight, and watching the stars is not a bad choice.

We just sat side by side on the wall, counting the stars in the sky together.

After counting, the masked girl suddenly said: "Ah, shooting star!"

I looked around and said, "Where is it? Where is it?"

"Oh, it's over."

I sighed with a little regret and thought to myself, shooting stars can make wishes. How much I want to make a wish. I hope Harold can pay me more gold coins tomorrow, so that I won’t be able to spend any money for a short period of time. All the private money is gone!

Just as I was thinking about it, something suddenly touched my shoulder. I turned my head slightly. The masked girl leaned her little head on my shoulder, her eyes still counting the stars in the sky, twinkling.
